In fact, to tell the truth, Chongzhen has done his best enough to do his duty to these salt merchants, if nothing else, let's just say how much tax evasion has been done by salt merchants over the years?
And how much illicit salt did they secretly sell?
Even through the black-hearted salt scale, how much snowflake salt has blackened the country?
Such a case, one crime after another, if Chongzhen really settles accounts with them, I am afraid that they will all be death sentences!
The salt merchants knew that they were at a loss, and although they were extremely dissatisfied, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and honestly paid the taxes.These salt merchants now hate and fear Chongzhen, and they don't dare to show it, so they can only sing praises every day, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.Of course, there are also salt merchants who sincerely sing praises of virtue, such as Zheng Sihai.The name Zheng Sihai is indeed a bit rebellious, which makes Chongzhen extremely unhappy, I am all over the world!
But Chongzhen still didn't trouble him after all, he was just a businessman, no matter how big his name was, it wouldn't be as big as me!
And Zheng Sihai has been addicted to junk food such as fried chicken, spicy hot, and barbecue at the banquet since the banquet in Damingyuan.These things are not only delicious, but also can create an atmosphere, and the most important thing is that there is no technical content, and a few celebrity chefs can imitate it after a little pondering.Zheng Sihai eats at home every day, and while eating, he eats business opportunities.He simply didn't do anything and founded the Four Seas Fried Chicken Restaurant.The restaurant also serves snacks such as malatang, barbecue, and alcohol, and children can come for fried chicken, while adults love barbecue and spicy tang.In addition, these things flowed out of the court again, and they were endorsed by the emperor.Soon the Sihai fried chicken restaurant became popular all over the country, and thousands of branches were opened, and Zheng Sihai made a lot of money, and his mouth was about to smile.When he met people, he said that His Majesty the Emperor was Shengming, and His Majesty the Emperor's favorite food was fried chicken, and he ate fried chicken every day, and His Majesty always smiled!
Naturally, these words also reached Chongzhen's ears later, and Chongzhen laughed at them and did not pursue them, so it became a beautiful conversation.Later generations, whenever they talk about this matter, they will be grateful for their imperial mind and embrace all rivers!
Of course, Chongzhen wouldn't say that he was killed, if it weren't for Zheng Sihai, the bastard, who pays taxes most actively every year and contributes a lot of tax silver, I would have already settled accounts with him.The above are all afterwords, saying that after Chongzhen had a banquet in Damingyuan, he received a good news from Sun Chuanting.It turned out that after Sun Chuanting exterminated Gao Yingxiang, he did not go to the imperial court, but joined up with Lu Xiangsheng's department, and conquered Hanzhong with a little trick.Others, such as Qin Liangyu and Yunnan Muwangfu, have also reported frequent successes, and the three armies have encircled Sichuan and Shu, and they are about to attack Shuzhong.Among them, Sun Chuanting's occupation of Hanzhong is the best news, because the geographical location of Hanzhong is extremely important.Sichuan Shu lost Hanzhong, just like a beautiful woman lost her clothes, without cover, isn't she doing whatever she wants?
Sun Chuanting also presented the details of the civil strife between King Qin and Shaanxi officials.Among them, there are twists and turns, twists and turns and thrilling stories, and Chongzhen sneered again and again.This vassal king of the Ming Dynasty is really a pig, he can even be deceived by someone for engaging in infighting, and he lost his life, he is ashamed of Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodline, and I am ashamed of them.Chongzhen simply summoned Wen Tiren to discuss the matter.As soon as Wen Tiren entered the Qianqing Palace, he saw His Majesty the Emperor with a cold face and looked at Song Shu.Wen Tiren's heart was shocked, looking at His Majesty's expression, eighty percent was going to be bloody again, hey, I really don't know which bastard it was, which made Your Majesty unhappy?
Chongzhen opened his mouth and said, "Wen Aiqing, what do you think of me to the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty?"
”It turned out that the vassal king was in trouble?
Wen Tiren said cautiously, "Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, you have abolished many restrictions on the vassal king.The vassal kings can not only do business, but also be officials, and they can leave the fiefdom to play around, which can be described as extremely free. ”"Huh!"
Chongzhen sneered, "But how did these vassal kings repay me?"
Although I no longer support the clan, the vassal king's fortune has not stopped.I didn't feel sorry for them, I even gave them freedom, hehe, alas, I really overestimated them.The pig has been raised in the pigsty for a long time, and he is full of affection for the pigsty, but he is less eager for freedom.First there was a rebellion of the king of Shu, and then there was a plot by the king of Qin to kill the governor, these vassal kings are so capable, they forget their great grace, and only stare at their own petty profits, hateful!
”After Chongzhen finished speaking, he threw Sun Chuanting's recital to Wen Tiren.Wen Tiren looked at it for a moment, and his face became cold.Wen Tiren said, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, we still have to restore the ancestral law and limit the scope of activities of the vassal kings, so that even if they have different intentions, they will not be able to achieve great things." ”Chongzhen pondered for a moment, "They want to be pigs, but I don't have so many pigsties, and these pigs can't be killed when they are fattened, what's the use of raising them?"
”Chongzhen has a pig in one bite, and a pigsty!
The corners of Wen Tiren's mouth twitched when he heard this, although Wen Tiren also felt that the vassal king was indeed a pig, but he didn't dare to say it!
Anyway, it is also the blood of the Zhu family, and the emperor can say that they are pigs, and outsiders say that it is a bit rebellious.Wen Tiren didn't know how to answer, so he simply looked at Chongzhen without speaking, waiting for the king's orders.Chongzhen said lightly, "Spread my will, deprive the King of Qin of the title of a lineage, and take back his palace, land, and royal seals."
But I am a Ming monarch, and I don't want to kill them all, I will not confiscate the property of the Qin Wangfu, so that the sons of the Qin King will divide the property, and then be an ordinary person!
”Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!
”Chongzhen suddenly said, "Wen Aiqing, pass on my will: I look at the people, and relatives also move around each other.But since I ascended the throne, I have never talked about the old with my vassal king surnamed Zhu, which is really unreasonable, and I feel very guilty!
”Wen Tiren held back his laughter and secretly thought: Your Majesty, don't feel guilty, every time you feel guilty, nothing good will happen.Chongzhen didn't know the little Jiujiu in Wen Tiren's heart, he continued, "In a few days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and I want to summon all the kings of the world into the palace to talk about human and family affection!"
”Wen Tiren said seriously, "Obey!"
”Soon, all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty received the holy decree, and this is the first time that His Majesty has summoned so many vassal kings to Beijing!
Come to think of it, it's probably not a good thing!
Although the vassal kings extremely don't want to go to the capital, if they don't go, they will resist the decree, and they are afraid that the throne will not be guaranteed.How good it is to be a pig, just eat and drink, and you don't need to worry about national affairs.With extreme depression, the vassal kings rushed to the capital in advance, you must know that this is the emperor's banquet, you can only arrive early, you must not be late!
