A thousand taels of silver?
Zhou Yanru blew his beard angrily and glared at him, these door-picking ghosts, you are more than one who evades taxes, right?
A thousand taels of silver are too embarrassed to take it out?
Let's call Hanako, right?
Although Zhou Yanru scolded his mother in his heart, the elegance on his face still had to be maintained, he laughed, "Okay, you are all the great heroes of my Ming Kingdom, and this official will definitely show your righteous deeds to the heavens, a thousand taels of silver a day, right?"
Yay!
Yay!"
Nani?
A thousand taels of silver a day?
The rich and wealthy families want to vomit blood, this Lord Zhou who came down from the court, I heard that he is still the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, why is he so thick-faced and black-hearted?
1,000 taels of silver a day, why don't you go to heaven?
If these victims had stayed with us for a few years, we would all have to go bankrupt!
All the rich and wealthy families did not speak, and the scene was a little deserted for a while."
Lord Zhou!"
It was Qian Aichang, a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou, who spoke: "In recent years, the rice production in Hangzhou has suddenly decreased, and the people of Hangzhou have become a problem to eat, so we have to go to other places to buy grain, but Lord Zhou also knows that food is expensive!"
Our money is used to buy food, where is the surplus money?
”The Qian family is a big family in Hangzhou!
They were both engaged in business and collected land rent, and under the management of several generations of the clan, they annexed countless good fields, and the annual land rent collected alone was more than one million taels of silver, but this was only a small amount of money.The land rent of the Qian family is just to keep the basics, and the real money is made in the silk, porcelain, tea and other industries, and the silver earned every year is said to be high.Why is it supposed?
Because no one knew their family's true income, their family's annual tax was only a few hundred taels of silver.Some of the children of the Qian family are in business, some are officials, and officials and businessmen collude, and their power is intricate and unfathomable in Hangzhou.Another rich man, Wu Zhongyong, also complained bitterly, "That's right, Lord Zhou, a thousand taels of silver a day is too much, I can't afford it, why don't we grit our teeth and give a thousand taels for half a year?"
”Zhou Yanru sneered, "Reduced rice yield?
But your mulberry fields have a bumper harvest, and you produce so much silk every day, the official wants to ask, where did you sell it?
”All the rich families were speechless.Originally, they wanted to say that they were sold overseas through Yuegang, but how many ships only go out of Yuegang every year?
There are some things that cannot be examined in detail.If the imperial court really investigates it, none of these rich families will be clean, and they are afraid that they will all have to be raided."
And!"
Zhou Yanru looked at the clothes of these people coldly, "The Taizu of this dynasty stipulates that all officials, people, businessmen, and prostitutes have customized clothes, but this official can't tell who is an official and who is a prostitute today?"
”Chongzhen, who was broadcasting live, was reminded by Zhou Yanru that he found that the costumes of the rich families and even the prostitutes and dancers present had all transgressed.It stands to reason that these people are not allowed to wear red and purple, they cannot wear expensive jewelry, and they cannot use birds and beasts to wear brocade, and merchants wear cloth clothes and green turbans.The earliest cuckolds.But?
Chongzhen found that they not only wore red and purple brocade clothes, but also had jewels on their bodies that exceeded the level that their identities could wear.Some prostitutes also wore crowns on their heads, and these crowns looked like crowns?
I didn't expect the entire Jiangnan costume to cross to such a point?
How dare a lowly prostitute imitate the costumes of a harem concubine?
It really doesn't make sense.Straight to the point!
Zhou Yanru's words shocked these people, for so many years, the people and wealthy families in Jiangnan have long been accustomed to the free-range policy of the imperial court, and their clothes have been usurped for decades, except for not making dragon robes and phoenix crowns, there is nothing they dare not wear.These people have long been accustomed to it.Now that Zhou Yanru mentioned something, they realized that if Lord Zhou really wanted to be serious with them, these people would have to walk around without eating.Zhou Yanru did not continue to embarrass them.A wave of people continued to laugh and laugh, playing and singing, and in the evening, they even participated in the entertainment activities specially prepared by the prefect Ma Cai.Guests are in for a treat!
Early morning, Hangzhou Mansion!
Qian Aichang and Wu Zhongyong shared a large carriage that had violated the regulations, and the carriage drove slowly to the suburbs.These two people have had a very good relationship since they were children, and it is trivial to share a carriage, and they also have an outer room together!
Most of the wealthy families in Hangzhou have more than one residence, and their main houses are generally built in the city, so that they can enjoy the prosperity of the city.However, these people also pursue elegance and seclusion, so they will also build villas and small buildings in the suburbs, especially near the West Lake, where these rich villas gather.The place where this carriage went was a courtyard built by Qian Aichang by the West Lake, which had beautiful scenery and a very good location.It was Zhou Yanru who placed many victims near the courtyard, and every day before dawn, these victims got up and waited for the soup porridge in a noisy manner.After eating the porridge, they had to drink Lazar, and the entire Qian family's private house was surrounded by all kinds of stench, and the nearby villagers also saw the business opportunity, and gathered many people every day to collect the feces of these victims to fertilize the fields.Qian Ai Qamdo was about to die of depression."
Old Wu!"
Qian Aichang sighed, "What has become of the private house that the labor and management spent so much money to build back then?"
Why do you think those victims are so alive and not starving to death?
”Wu Zhongyong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Zhou Yanru doesn't have much food in his hands, and these victims are about to starve to death." ”Qian Aichang's voice, "There is not much food for the surname Zhou, won't he pick our skin?"
When the time comes, he will hold our handle, and even if he opens his mouth, we will have to give it!
”Wu Zhongyong sneered, "Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, do you really think that the surname Zhou is so compassionate and compassionate?"
He traveled thousands of miles to resettle the victims, do you think he is not annoying?
I'm afraid that he wants the victims to starve to death more than we do!
”After a pause, Wu Zhongyong continued: "In a few days, we will unite the rich families in the city to give a big gift to the one surnamed Zhou, and the one surnamed Zhou will turn a blind eye when he gets the benefits, anyway, the fewer the victims, the easier it will be for him!"
Qian Aichang was still not at ease, "But?
If the victims starved to death at the hands of Zhou Yanru, His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't have killed him alive?

”"Humph!"
Wu Zhong snorted with his nose and said, "Natural disasters are ruthless, isn't it normal for people to starve to death?"
A good friend of mine made a fortune as a refugee in the northwest, and I heard him say that Wei Zhongxian, the prince of the Dongchang factory, pulled a lot of supplies to the northwest every once in a while to relieve the victims, but the victims in the northwest gave more relief and starved to death. ”Today's night shift.The author secretly coded the word!
