Chapter 141: The Death of Yan Maoqing
Chapter 141 Yan Maoqing's Death
Yan Maoqing is the same. Yan Maoqing is affiliated with Yan Song and has many charges. But it is still between life and death. If someone pleads with love, it may be an exile. But if it is not good, it is a death.
But if you admit that the amount of corruption at this level of tens of millions of taels is naturally a dead end.
However, things have changed.
Because Zhou Mengchen wanted to move the salt administration.
He didn't know where the news was leaked. It was probably from Xu Jie and the capital, and the news was leaked very quickly. It could be from Teng Xiang.
Maybe someone guessed it.
After all, in the officialdom, it is impossible to have no clues when doing things, and in the officialdom, there is no shortage of smart people at the very least. It is normal to guess it.
If Zhou Mengchen does not move the salt administration, then this matter is Yan Maoqing's problem, and Zhou Mengchen wants to move the salt administration. It is the interests of all parties behind the salt administration.
In fact, so many stakeholders cannot discuss any effective decisions. After all, they often cannot pee in a pot. Zhou Mengchen has the support of Xu Jie behind him, and Zhou Mengchen is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Under such a situation, the first decision made by stakeholders is to retreat.
But the benefits they swallowed were real. They did not expect to use fake accounts to fool Zhou Mengchen. Although some people did not know about Cheng Dazhen's outstanding achievements in the palace, most of the upper class knew about it.
Whenever any account is found here, Cheng Dawei immediately finds the problem. It can be called a sharp eye. Cheng Dawei often says that he is far from his teacher.
Naturally, they would not use fake accounts to fool Zhou Mengchen.
Everything they gave was real. Then Yan Maoqing took it alone. As for the money, it was naturally Yan Maoqing who spent it. Yan Maoqing was always a person who spent money like water. He used silk to make toilet paper, gold and silver to make toilets, etc. There were many things.
It’s just that no matter how much money a person spends, it is impossible to spend all the tens of millions of taels of money within a few years.
This number is too big.
This is obvious that it is fake, but Yan Maoqing insisted on it. If this happens, it is difficult to overturn the fake ones.
Zhou Mengchen said, "Yan Maoqing, don't you think about your wife and children?"
Yan Maoqing said: "I did this just because I thought of my wife and children."
It would rather bear the imperial court than let down the wealthy people.
The same is true for Yan Maoqing. The court's ability to deal with Yan Maoqing is written in the law. But if these forces have to retaliate against Yan Maoqing, they have not been removed from the line at all.
After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen could only wave his hand and said, "Press him down, you can take care of a single family, so don't have any problems."
"Yes." Several soldiers came in and said, and then took care of Yan Maoqing.
Zhou Mengchen said: "Where is Yan Maoqing from?"
Lin Run said: "Yan Maoqing is from Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province."
Zhou Mengchen said: "Send someone to Fengcheng to check how Yan Maoqing's wife and children are doing now."
Immediately someone took the order and went there.
Lin Run said, "What should I do now sir?"
Zhou Mengchen said, "Do you think?"
Lin Run said: "Look at it all, I don't believe they can do it perfectly."
Zhou Mengchen nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is done."
Lin Run said: "Sir, you want to-----"
Zhou Mengchen said, "I am waiting for news."
The news that Zhou Mengchen never expected was about Yan Maoqing. Yan Maoqing died and died in a single-family prison. It seemed that he had hanged himself. I wonder if some people were ponytails for Zhou Mengchen.
Zhou Mengchen sighed and understood in his heart that something should be stopped in time.
But he had to exchange something for something with the right amount. So he not only did not give up, but instead urged Lin Run to dig deeper. He also gave Lin Run a battalion of troops and a battalion of troops. Lin Run even took action drastically. The wealth of salt merchants was parasitic on the Ming Dynasty court.
So it's a problem to really investigate it.
Zhou Mengchen also understood this, and the other party also understood this. So Tengxiang came.
Tengxiang is here.
Tengxiang saw Zhou Mengchen and said, "Brother Zhou, that's OK. It's really OK. If you continue like this, you can poke a hole in God. This will not be good for anyone."
Zhou Mengchen said, "I understand, isn't this waiting for you again? I, Zhou Mengchen, is also the number one figure in the court. I can't say anything they say, I don't want to save face?"
Tengxiang said: "Sir, I will agree to what kind of face you want on their behalf. As long as you end this, the case will be closed immediately."
Zhou Mengchen sighed in his heart. He wanted to check the salt administration to the sky and put the dirt hidden place under the sun to see.
But he can't.
Idealists cannot become politicians.
If Zhou Mengchen really does this, there will be only one ending. Both sides will suffer losses.
Zhou Mengchen's political future cannot be said of this, but it is difficult to climb up again. It is even impossible to demote it to the horizon. And there are not many people on the other side who have been exposed, taken off their vests, and let the people in the world see it. Even in order to quell the public's anger, they must understand the canon and punish them, thus losing their noble status, whether they are nobles or vassal kings.
Zhou Mengchen wanted to do things, not overturn the table. Zhou Mengchen was not barefoot, he also ate on this table. It would be of no benefit to anyone after overturning the table.
Zhou Mengchen said, "You don't understand what I mean?"
Tengxiang said: "Or it is the new salt administration?"
Zhou Mengchen said: "That's right."
Tengxiang said: "Okay, I'll guarantee it for them. They won't stop it. But the prerequisite is that their interests----"
Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly and said, "I can't promise them that the interests are not moving. But I am not that kind of young man. What should I do if I know what to do? I don't know how it was distributed before, and I will not ask again, and everything will end here. However, in the new salt administration, I will give it to you how to divide this plate."
Tengxiang said, "Leave it to me?"
Zhou Meng �
Zhou Mengchen didn't want to do this, but he didn't want to get dirty. Secondly, he also had some methods to kill three soldiers. After Zhou Mengchen's reform, salt merchants were divided into two types, one was productive and the other was distribution type.
The productive one is the salt merchants who occupy the salt farm. In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, this is a great business. Don't worry about product sales, just organize production all the time. The cost of salt drying is very low. The purchase price of the imperial court will definitely be profitable.
The imperial court increased the price and reselled the price, and the price was salt tax. It can be said that the government saved countless troubles.
As for the distribution-type salt merchants, they could only make a hard-earned money from then on. Each salt farm is in its own salt area, that is, the salt sales area, in which the court ignored it and let them compete.
Even after Zhou Mengchen decided to take office, he would gradually cancel the salt sales area.
This will give you the lowest salt price.
But Tengxiang still didn't have confidence in his heart. He said, "Do I really have to do this?"
Zhou Mengchen said: "I originally intended to let the palace take charge of this matter. After all, the interests here are too heavy, and all the kings in the world are the kings. This naturally requires Your Majesty to make a decision, but I think Your Majesty has no energy to care about these trivial matters. Of course, Eunuch Huang is worried about Your Majesty."
"But Eunuch Huang can't come here, so there must be someone who will worry about Eunuch Huang. Brother Teng and I met me in a slight way. I have always believed Brother Teng, so I just told me some things. I kept staring at the chair in the cabinet. Didn't Brother Teng think that it was the throne of the Silijian?"
"Without a few credits, how can Brother Teng compete for the throne of the Silijian?"
