In fact, during the Huguang shogunate period, when he was still the king of Yu, he implemented the military-first policy.
When Shaanxi merchants were used to control business, the guilds were used as a guide.
Guilds are different from chambers of commerce. Chambers of commerce are small-scale interest communities, while guilds control the entire industry.
Likewise, after the Grain Merchant's Guild was established, prices in Huguang immediately stabilized; after the Pig Iron Guild was established, pig iron production continued to increase; after the Liquor Guild was established, the shogunate levied a large amount of taxes to supply the military.
But as he went to Nanjing and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, large-scale guilds were gradually eliminated, and chambers of commerce became the mainstream.
After all, this hinders fair competition.
In the West, guilds were the certificate for the middle class and businessmen to maintain their wealth and independence. Florence and Milan therefore remained free cities, and the textile industry flourished.
The guild in front of Zhu Yixi is a small-scale local guild that monopolizes the profits of a place.
Chu Yu understood the matter very well and lowered his head and gave instructions.
Soon, three big men in short clothes walked over and rescued the beaten man, and also taught him a lesson.
In fact, the shoulder knives on their waists were exposed, and the gangsters did not dare to fight back at all, so they could only be beaten and scolded.
"Who are you?"
Sitting at the tea stall, Zhu Yixi picked up the teacup and drank it without hesitation. Although it was a bit bitter, it was still drinkable.
"Young man, I have met the master!" The man was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was extremely respectful.
"Why were you beaten?"
"Because I didn't join the guild, these people didn't allow me to work..."
"Why didn't you add it?"
"The guild wants to take 30% of the money!" The man said with a face full of hatred: "I am so tired every day that I only get fifty or sixty cents. They take the money without doing anything, they don't come forward when something happens, and they usually bully us...
"
"Besides Li Xing, what other guild is there?"
"As far as I know, the five largest guilds in the capital are Lixing, Yexing, vegetable guilds, grain guilds, and firewood guilds. Each of them has tens of thousands of people. Even the yamen boss has seen it.
I have to treat you to tea..."
Zhu Yixi frowned, and Chu Yu on the side was frightened and immediately explained:
"Sir, Li Xing is a hard worker. They are the meanest and the most popular. Many people from other places will join them, including many from the local area. The Patrol Headquarters often asks them to do work when they have to clean ditches..."
"The Night Journey collects night fragrance from millions of people in the capital. The number of people is the smallest, only three thousand people. However, it is passed down from father to son and from family to family. There is no way it cannot accommodate outsiders."
"The night fragrance in the capital is taken over by them, so the county government is much more relaxed..."
Zhu Yixi heard the instructions immediately.
Li Xing's backer is the Patrol Police Headquarters. To manage the huge city of Beijing, it is natural to need these people as informants.
The same is true for Ye Xing, they rely on the county government to contract night fragrance, and the officials behind them are naturally the county government officials, who have to hand over more than half of their annual profits.
"What about the vegetable store and the agricultural bank?"
Zhu Yixi became interested.
"The vegetable shops are farmers outside the city. They all have vegetable plots, including fruits and vegetables. They are all vegetable shops. There are tens of thousands of them. They specialize in supplying the people of the capital. There are also most restaurants. Behind them are nobles.
…”
"The grain bank is responsible for purchasing old grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs and selling it..."
"The firewood business refers to firewood and briquettes. They are basically the royal merchants of Ximenggou..."
"The patrol headquarters, the county government, the nobles, the household department, and the imperial merchants all have their own backgrounds and backers!"
This is the little treasury!
Zhu Yixi muttered, but her brows did not relax at all.
On the surface, the existence of these guilds strengthened the court's control over Beijing, but in fact it eroded power.
The nobles, imperial merchants and other classes indirectly controlled Beijing and exerted strong influence.
Think about it, as long as you cut off the food supply for half a day, you can make Beijing people unable to eat fruits and vegetables.
"What gang is powerful nearby?"
Suddenly, before Chu Yu had time to react, the man said casually: "It should be the Chopper Gang."
"They also have thieves who specialize in collecting protection fees. They conduct house-to-house searches and no one doing business can escape..."
The admiral of the East Factory, Wei Chengma, had a black forehead and his knees almost gave out.
The power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is divided, and there is no one who leads the other.
Due to the conditions of Dongchang, its control is basically in Shuntian Prefecture, and the capital is the top priority.
The Jinyiwei projected their influence in all directions, and even the vassal state had branches to collect information. It can be said that the power is almost equal.
The capital is under the control of the Dongchang, and the guilds are just that. Gangs and gangsters are running rampant, and he can't escape from this big pot.
"Oh! Get off!" the emperor said calmly, and was rewarded with a dollar before he boarded the carriage unhurriedly.
Wei Cheng knelt down directly.
"There are millions of people in the capital, so guilds are not uncommon. Wherever there are people, there are gangs and lakes, but gangs should not be the case!"
Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "It's disgusting to bully good people like this. They have taken away all the hard-earned money of the people!"
"The imperial court has light corvees and low taxes, just to save them?"
What makes Zhu Yixi especially angry is that during the golden age of dividends, he is the only one who can create wealth for this group of rubbish.
Needless to say, these people are backed by high-ranking officials and nobles, so they are so unscrupulous.
So much so that just about anyone knows the name of the gang.
I have neglected Beijing in recent years.
Corrupt officials go hand in hand with cracking down on organized crime, and the former is the protective umbrella of the latter.
"Let the Inspector Zuodu Yushi come to see me. It's time to clean up the officialdom in the capital."
Zhu Yixi said casually: "There are so many cockroaches under the bed, I'm afraid there are even more elsewhere."
"Jin Yiwei is responsible for arresting people, following the clues and cooperating with the Inspectorate!"
"I obey the decree!" Chu Yu was overjoyed.
He would naturally like it if he had a good opportunity to show off his power.
The emperor was so angry that his blood flowed thousands of miles away.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the campaign against gangs and evil started among the people, and the newly established Shuntianfu Newspaper directly blew the horn with a headline:
Villains are roaming the streets with sticks and sticks. It is imperative to crack down on gangsters and eradicate evil!
And encourage everyone to report it actively.
A sneeze from the emperor can be described as a tornado to ordinary people.
In the corner at the end of the alley, a lame young man lowered his head and ate half of the stolen cake, and it went into his stomach in a moment.
He looked around cautiously, fearing that he would meet those respected people.
In the capital, beggars are not allowed.
In order to survive, he naturally hid in Sichuan and did not hesitate to wash his body every now and then to make himself cleaner.
When we reached the corner, we heard Dr. Na Bao say: "The imperial court is going to kill all those gang members!"
"That is, I heard it was ordered by the emperor himself..."
"They must be bullying those who have no background. Those with background have long known the news and hid..."
"No, the Ming Dynasty Gazette said it directly. You can report it directly, and there will be rewards!"
"Two uncles, where can I report this?" Jiang Liu'er wiped his tears and said directly, unable to suppress the hatred in his heart.
"You? This is not a complaint!" One person frowned and said: "Little guy, you have to think clearly, don't risk your life!"
"Yes!" The people on the side agreed.
"My whole family has been bullied to death, why should I be afraid of this life?" Jiang Liu'er said through gritted teeth.
"Good boy, can you read? You see the captains carrying knives and wearing flying fish uniforms, they are hanging flags at the street corner!"
"As long as you go there, you can file a complaint!"
Jiang Liuer nodded fiercely.
"This boy has a lot of energy!"
On the side, watching Jiang Liuer leave resolutely, Fang Sheng stroked his beard and couldn't help but praise.
"Dad, this guy still has courage!" The girl wearing a bra-wrapped skirt couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, I don't know if he can play chess." Fang Sheng said regretfully: "If this momentum is used in playing Go, I'm afraid he will be in trouble!"
The girl nodded in agreement, then lost her mind as she looked at the boy's retreating back.
The lonely shadow is like a lone wolf licking its wounds.
Pedestrians nearby unconsciously gave way and allowed him to walk alone.
"Just like the horns on the stage!" the girl thought: "Maybe he should really come to play chess!"
The young man put aside the hesitant crowd and came to the captain in Jinyi. He said without hesitation: "I want to file a complaint!"
"Little guy, you must be a beggar! You have to think clearly, false accusations are counterproductive!"
The royal guards didn't take it seriously.
They had been sitting there all morning, and no one dared to sit down and talk.
Jiang Liu'er said harshly: "I want to sue the current King Yi!"
In an instant, it was shocking.
The people who were watching the excitement also stopped and looked incredulous.
The captains in Jinyi were even more stunned.
"Say it again!"
"I want to sue King Yi. He oppressed the good people. In order to seize my shop and the thousand-acre manor, he framed me. In prison, my whole family was killed..."
Jiang Liuer burst into tears: "For more than half a year, I have been hiding everywhere, begging for food from house to house, and had to avoid being arrested by the patrolmen..."
Seeing that what he said was logical and coherent, the Jinyi captains couldn't help but believe him.
Ordinary mud-legged people can't say such things.
Almost instantly, the news spread throughout Beijing.
The government and the public were shocked.
You know, in today's clan, although the current emperor has many sons, the princes from the previous dynasty still dominate.
In addition to the ten kings of Shu, King Dai, King Su, King Qing, King Min, King Shen, King Zhao, King Jing, King Chong, King Heng, and King Rong who were removed from their names for various reasons, there are still ten princes in the previous dynasty. Remaining people.
King Rui was the leader and presided over the clan mansion.
The remaining kings of Chu, Lu, and Lu lived in the capital.
As a prince, although King Yi keeps a low profile, he cannot stand out from everyone.
This was being poked open. If it had been in the previous dynasty and the clan friendship had been taken into consideration, it would have been natural to hold it up high and put it down gently.
But, this was the Shaowu Dynasty.
Once it was found out, King Yi was immediately ordered to commit suicide to save his dignity. King Yi was deposed and his family moved to Heilongjiang.
Although the ministers were shocked, they felt it was natural.
Because King Yi, an old boy, used to supervise the country on his own in Jianchang, Jiangxi Province. Although the emperor had not yet ascended the throne at that time, he had already committed a taboo. Now it is natural to deal with the situation.
This trick was so powerful that it caused a huge earthquake in the capital.
The usually peaceful patrol headquarters was in chaos, with guards in uniform running on the streets.
At Chongwen Pier, Zhang Shougou, a member of the Chopper Gang who had already received the news, took his family on board the boat and walked on the canal:
"This capital is very popular. Let's come back in a few months!"
Several close subordinates were still worried: "Longtou, the boss of the Crocodile Gang was blocked at the door by the Jin Yiwei, and the whole family was arrested."
"I heard that all the prisons in the Ministry of Punishment are full!"
"Then the old boy won't stop even if you let him go!" Zhang Shougou said proudly:
"He acts recklessly because his cousin is the servant's butler. What a piece of shit he is? What a piece of shit the butler is!"
"The imperial court arrested several ministers, including the minister!"
The ship sailed for dozens of miles, and when it arrived at Tongzhou Pier, the wharf was suddenly blocked.
Everyone must be inspected before being released.
At this time, people who had no way to lead panicked.
Zhang Shougou took his time and took his family and brothers to the pier. He held his head high, his chest high, his belly swollen, and he was dressed in silk. He looked like a rich man.
"Brother, what happened?"
Suddenly, he saw the big yellow dog he was pulling!
"Woof, woof, woof -" The strong smell of blood made the yellow dog bark incessantly.
In an instant, he was surrounded.
"What's going on?" Zhang Shougou cried and laughed: "Captain, I didn't do anything!"
"With so much blood on your body, don't tell me it's from the Beijing camp!"
The man sneered: "Take them all away!"
This large-scale manhunt was carried out from the capital to Shuntian Prefecture. Nearly a thousand well-trained big dogs, relying on their excellent sense of smell, captured many criminal thieves and murderers.
Regardless of whether there is a record or not, as long as there is blood on your body, you will definitely be arrested.
Even, following the clues, many well-known fugitives and evildoers in the world of rivers and lakes escaped death because they hid in high-ranking officials or even temples, but were betrayed by gangs.
The Yamen, which originally pretended to be deaf and dumb, had to accept the orders of the Jin Yiwei, break into mansions or temples, and arrest them directly.
The crackdown on gangs and evil that originally caused an uproar among the people has officially implicated nobles and religious circles.
The emperor was furious and the cabinet followed suit.
Dozens of noble families were expelled, demoted, and even had their homes raided.
Around the city of Beijing, hundreds of temples and Taoist temples were also raided, and a large number of monks and Taoists were imprisoned.
In just three days, the Prison Department's prison housed more than a thousand people, and the number continues to increase.
It is not allowed to borrow a camp in the Beijing camp for custody.
The storm swept across, shaking the entire city of Beijing.
Jin Yiwei was overjoyed.
More than one million gold and silver, tens of thousands of acres of land, and thousands of shops and houses were confiscated. It was a great harvest.
The cabinet couldn't help but want a piece of the pie, but had to stop.
Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over.
As the person who leads all this, Zhu Yixi actually doesn't care how many people are arrested. Anyway, it is a big storm that can keep Beijing safe for a few years.
But the large-scale application of military dogs made him happy.
Who can be better than a dog when it comes to alertness?
"However, although Dahuang's luxurious harem career has ended for more than ten years, hundreds of descendants have already made outstanding contributions!"
He thought of the dog he had raised in Xi'an. It was the dog that prepared the granary and stayed with him when he was most destitute and never left.
"Military dogs have to form a large scale, and then there are police dogs. Who can escape?"
My arms are sore and my inspiration is dry. I'm sorry.
