Bi Ziyan arrived at the port, stood on a building, held a telescope, and looked at the port in front of him.
In the telescope, the canvas is like a cloud, and the ships are like the sea, rushing out and swarming, crowding most of the sea.
These ships are large and small, and the total number is definitely over 10,000!
If you add the ports in various places, those who go to sea and don't come back, I'm afraid that tens of thousands are still modest!
Behind Bi Ziyan stood a businessman, gorgeously dressed, who looked like he had a lot of money, and he looked at Bi Ziyan's back with a frightened face.
Bi Ziyan looked at it for a while, put down the binoculars, and said lightly, "How many ships will come in and out here tomorrow?"
I want to tell the truth, I will check if you say it, and if the gap is too big, I will raid your home. ” The merchant was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "The grass people don't dare, if you go back to the elder, the wharf of this Shenlong Mansion is the largest in my Ming Dynasty, which can accommodate 30,000 ships, and there are more than 100,000 ships going to here a year, and I am in the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding Wa Kingdom, Korea, Ryukyu, and even Xiyi ......." "100,000 ......"
Bi Ziyan's face was expressionless, and he whispered to himself.
That's more than double what you see in the notebook!
100,000 ships a year, even if the profit of a ship is 100 taels, it is 10 million!
The annual tax of the Ming billions of people is only this amount now!
If you add other commercial taxes such as salt, iron, tea, spices, etc., the total amount may be as high as 50 million taels!
Fifty million taels, this is the tax of the Ming Dynasty for five years!
There are not so many in the Ming Dynasty!
How much can you do with such a large amount of flying silver?
Bi Ziyan looked up at the clear sky, his cloudy eyes flashed with essence, and after a long time, he sighed in his heart, "Your Majesty, where is your ambition?"
’ A group of people behind him watched Bi Ziyan speak, frightened and afraid to speak.
Everyone knows that Bi Ge Lao hates businessmen, and now that the merchants are so powerful, they must have been extremely angry in their hearts, right?
This is about to give office, the tiger is about to leave the mountain, at this juncture, who dares to touch the head?
After a long time, Bi Ge Lao turned around and said calmly: "Change into official clothes, put on a guard of honor, and go to see Chen Niangniang." ” The cabinet official was stunned and said, "My lord, are you here?"
” If he was here, he would clearly tell Bumu Butai that Bi Ziyan had a private visit to Shenlong Mansion and had gone so far.
Bi Ziyan waved his hand and said, "If you don't put it, people will know, so prepare." ” Everyone woke up suddenly, and said more and more cautiously, "Yes." ” Bi Ziyan, as the 'first assistant', naturally had his guard of honor, plus the guards, and the accompanying officials, there were more than 70 people, and they walked towards the center of the Shenlong Mansion and the location of Bumu Butai.
This move naturally surprised many people, especially Gong Yonggu, who had replaced Zhang Guoji as the head of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the No. 2 person in Shenlong Mansion, was even more shocked.
Bi Ge Lao's appearance in the Shenlong Mansion was very abrupt to him, many things had not been prepared, and some things needed to be covered up by Bi Ziyan.
Gong Yonggu hurriedly took people and prepared to meet Bi Ziyan.
Chen Niangniang's identity is special, and there is no reason to greet him in person, so he is the only one who goes.
Although his colt is not heavy, he can resist for a while.
Just as he was about to leave, Bumu Butai sent someone to call him.
When he arrived at Bumu Butai's small building, Li Deyong was already there.
Gong Yonggu's expression was slightly plenish, and he saluted: "The lower official has seen Niangniang." ” Li Deyong stood aside, his head bowed, his face expressionless.
After so many years, he has also learned the truth of prudence.
Bumu Butai looked at Gong Yonggu with a solemn face, and pushed a letter over.
Gong Yonggu took it curiously, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Niangniang, is this true?"
” Gong Yonggu looked frightened, and his hands were trembling.
Because this letter is actually a report letter, the content on it is directed at the royal money Zhuang Zhengqing, Fu Tao!
It is alleged that the royal money bank is secretly laundering money, laundering some shady silver, and the advantage is that those black merchants are three, Fu Tao seven, and the annual amount is not less than one million taels!
Some of this silver comes from the gentry, some from big families, and some from overseas!
The purpose is varied, some are black money, and some are for tax evasion!
Through the royal bank, these are all innocent, some people have become new rich and upstart, and some people have successfully established themselves in Daming.
The harm is self-evident, and what is even more terrifying is that Fu Tao is directly involved!
Who is Fu Tao?
The cousin of the current emperor is responsible for the emperor's treasurer of the royal bank, and his father Fu Changzong is even more old in the court, standing in the center for ten years, with high power and deep roots!
If you say who is the most difficult to bring down the Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly Fu Changzong!
Bumu Butai looked at Gong Yonggu's expression, his face was still calm, and said, "Gonggong Li quietly checked, and there are already three percent of them true. ” Li Deyong bowed slightly and did not make a sound.
He has been in the capital for a long time, and he is also an internal prisoner, and there is no Bumu Butai here who knows how deep the water in the capital is than him.

Either this matter will not be discovered, once it is openly pulled out, the government and the opposition will definitely be shaken, plus when the court is changing greatly, I don't know how big a wave will be set off and how many people will be involved!
Gong Yonggu frowned, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and he was extremely scared in his heart.
Fu Tao, Fu Changzong, if these two people fall, the emperor of the Qianqing Palace still doesn't know how to be angry, the consequences are unimaginable!
Gong Yonggu's eyes flickered for a while, he looked up at Bumu Butai, his tone was jerky, and said, "Niangniang, this matter, can you still ......
Can you hold it?
” Bumu Butai knew what he meant, and said, "This is sent by some well-intentioned people. ” Gong Yonggu understood what he meant, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Niangniang, this matter is not trivial, if you can't suppress it, you must let the emperor know as soon as possible, otherwise, ......
The sky is falling!
” Li Deyong looked at Gong Yonggu so casually, his brows furrowed, he glanced at Bu Mu Butai, and said slowly in an extremely flat tone: "Grand Prince Fu is not covering the sky with one hand in the royal bank, and if you want to wash so much silver over the years, it won't be so simple, the household department ......
Can't get around. ” There are rules and regulations for the entry and exit of the silver in the royal bank, which must be checked every month, and there is an audit at the end of the year.
Such a thing can only happen if the household is blind.
The corners of Gong Yonggu's mouth twitched fiercely, he was not Xiaobai, where could he not hear Li Deyong's words, his legs were trembling, and he said in horror: "What does Gonggong Li mean, Zhang Shangshu is also involved?"
” Zhang Bingwen, the secretary of the household department, is a colleague of Fu Changzong, and he is also the secretary of Fu Changzong's recommendation, and the outside world says that Zhang Bingwen is Fu Changzong's cronies, and the household department has always belonged to the Fu family, and some people jokingly call the household department 'Fu department'.
If it is said that Fu Tao or Fu guy laundered money with Zhang Bingwen, and carried out left-handed to right-handed corruption between the royal money bank and the household, it is estimated that no one will not believe it!
Bu Mu Butai looked at Gong Yonggu, didn't care about his uselessness, and said directly: "Elder Bige has arrived at the Shenlong Mansion, I don't know if he sees this letter, but if he sees it......"
Bi Ziyan's mind is a little unpredictable now, the atmosphere in the cabinet is very delicate, if Bi Ge Lao takes this opportunity to do something, things will be even more unimaginable.
Gong Yonggu straightened up violently, his expression was firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, Bi Ge Lao can't see this letter, and the lower official asks Niang Niang to immediately fly a pigeon to tell the emperor, and, let Bi Ge Lao return to Beijing as soon as possible!"
” Bumu Butai didn't expect that her Shenlong Mansion would also be involved in this great change in the imperial court, but her face was always calm, and she said, "Don Ma, telling you this matter is to make you mentally prepared."
The people in the shadows have a big plan, and it's hard to say whether our Shenlong Mansion can protect itself, but it can't conflict with Bi Ge Lao. ” Gong Yonggu forced him to calm down, his eyes flickered, and said: "Xia Guan understands that the people behind this just want us to kill each other so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and Xia Guan will not let them succeed!"
The establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce is imminent, and the next official plans to test it to see which people are not with us, and clean it up!
” Bu Mu Butai looked at Gong Yonggu in some surprise, but he didn't expect that this person who was so frightened just now that he almost peed his pants would calm down so quickly and still think of this idea.
The person behind this has a lot of power in the Shenlong Mansion, as long as Gong Yonggu is stuck in a part, the other party is bound to be in chaos, and when the time comes, there will be too many ways to lure out the person behind it!
Bu Mu Butai nodded lightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry about this matter, deal with Elder Bi Ge first, you must not let Elder Bi Ge get angry in the Shenlong Mansion, and you must send Nan Zhili out of the country safely." ” Gong Yonggu raised his head and chest, hugged his fists and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, what does the lower official say is also to be a courtier, the person who toasted Bi Ge Lao in the Qianqing Palace, and in the Shenlong Mansion, no matter how old Bi Ge is, he should give the face of the lower official, he will definitely give it!"
” Bumu Butai looked at Gong Yonggu seriously, and had to change his opinion of this person in his heart.
No wonder the emperor sent him to the Shenlong Mansion, at a critical moment, he can do some things. ’ Bu Mu Butai thought in his heart, and then said: "Well, you take care of the proportions, I won't see him, His Royal Highness has been shopping for a lot recently, I have to watch." ” Whether Bumu Butai is a woman or a lady in the palace, there are some things that you just need to know, and it is taboo to spread it out.
A lady is in charge of a place, and she is also doing business, and then she meets with the old man of the court, what does this look like?
Gong Yonggu understood what Bumu Butai meant, and said, "Yes, Xia Guan accompanies Elder Bi Ge all day, and I promise to ask him to leave safely." ” Bumu Butai heard his hostility, frowned, and said, "Donkey, pay attention to proportion. ” "Yes, Xia Guan understands."
Gong Yonggu's expression was calm, and he was natural.
Bumu Butai nodded slightly, Gong Yonggu glanced at Li Deyong, and said knowingly: "The lower official retires." ” Bumu Butai watched Gong Yonggu leave, picked up the teacup, and said, "Is it really impossible to find out at all?"
” Li Deyong is in charge of the intelligence agency of the Shenlong Mansion, and has direct access to the celebrant supervisor, with a strong background, Bumu Butai has never believed it, he doesn't know anything inside. a
