Although Zhang Shijie took Datou and Xu family, he only gave it to Emperor Jiajing Xiaotou. He was not worried at all. Isn’t there Xu Jie still there in the capital? Even if there is anything, Xu Jie should be able to settle it. Therefore, after he sent someone to escort the silver to Beijing, he still had food, drink, and had no psychological burden at all.

but……

He did not expect Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Luqing, to appear in front of him, and told him bluntly that this matter was exposed by Hu Zongxian and that His Majesty was so angry. Zhang Shijie must bear this matter alone. If Xu Jie is implicated, if Xu Jie falls, he, Zhang Shijie, will never have a day to turn over.

However, if Zhang Shijie takes this matter alone, Xu Jie will guarantee that he will give him a chance to make a comeback. In short, just one sentence, don’t think about Xu Jie helping with this matter.

In this way, Zhang Shijie was irritated. He knew that he had to take the matter down. He knew that he would be dismissed from office and his house was raided at most, but as long as Emperor Jiajing died and Xu Jie did not fall, he would have the chance to make a comeback. With Emperor Jiajing's age, how long will he live?

But Zhang Shijie didn't want to be dismissed from office like this. As the saying goes, it's better to point to yourself than to point to others. If you can protect yourself without involving Xu Jie, that's the best solution. Just as you were standing in the sun and thinking about the strategy repeatedly, you saw Huang Jin coming out. Zhang Shijie hurriedly smiled on his face and said:

"I have met Eunuch Huang."

Huang Jin looked at him lightly and said, "Your Majesty announces you to enter the palace."

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Eunuch Huang."

Zhang Shijie followed Huang Jin with uneasiness and entered Yuxi Palace. As soon as he entered Yuxi Palace, he fell to the ground.

"My memory, Zhang Shijie pays homage to His Majesty, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long, long live long live long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long live long, long, long live long, long, long, long, long

Emperor Jiajing picked up a stack of paper from the imperial desk and threw it at Zhang Shijie, and said coldly: "You can take a look at it yourself."

Zhang Shijie knelt on the ground, picked up the papers page by page, and then looked carefully, his face turned pale, and his back was soaked with sweat. He couldn't help but scold Luo Xin, Hu Zongxian and the merchants. He knew in his heart that he was like a fly falling into the oil pan, with a bright future, but he was dead. This oil pan was prepared by Luo Xin, Hu Zongxian and Southeast merchants collectively.

In other words, he was fooled by his personality!

Zhang Shijie has been an official in the capital and has no experience as a local official. But he still feels that he is born in the capital and must be more intelligent than a local official. Otherwise, why is he a Beijing official and those people a local official?

Before coming to Hangzhou, he also planned for a long time. He read several books on military books and battle strategies. In the end, he felt that it was nothing more than just attacking dissidents and supporting his confidants, which was enough to take the Southeast Maritime Warship Office in his hands.

But when he arrived in Hangzhou, he found that he was really far from what he imagined. He knew nothing about business, taxation, and management of local governments. At this time, he realized that there was a big difference between being pragmatic and being pragmatic. He was doing his best in the capital, and when he was pragmatic, he had no idea how to carry out his work.

So he took out his ability to do a vain in the capital and eliminated dissidents. Those who are obedient are used. Those who are disobedient are stood aside.

As a result, a group of people gathered around him, and gifts were given and swearing around him. These people, including officials, merchants, and even the five major families that he was a little afraid of, also sent gifts.

I'm so happy!

Zhang Shijie was happy and felt that this was pragmatic and nothing was wrong!

So he took the second step and was about to start eroding the Ming Hai Trade. This started with merchants. No matter what the environment was, there were always those who were proud and unsatisfied. Even if it was as fair as Luo Xin, some merchants were suppressed by Luo Xin. However, under Luo Xin's reputation, only those who were cautious and walking on thin ice were allowed to live. Now Luo Xin has left and Zhang Shijie has come. As the saying goes, one king and one minister. Zhang Shijie also intends to give them a chance, and they quickly united with Zhang Shijie to form a force.

However, when their new forces, mainly Zhang Shijie and Xu's mansion attacked the Ming Hai Trade Center, they suffered a strong rebound and almost caused a strike in Hangzhou Prefecture.

If Luo Xin had encountered this, he would definitely use the thundering method, just as he did at the beginning. However, Zhang Shijie had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.

However, Zhang Shijie did not think that this was because his wisdom was not as good as Luo Xin, but because he did not have enough capital. He discussed with the Xu family that if he had enough capital, he could completely put aside the Ming Hai Trade and monopolize the business with the merchants of the vassal states. Zhang Shijie had this right and dared not do this now, just because there was no capital monopoly. So they thought of smuggling.

No matter that world, there is no more profitable business than smuggling.

So, smuggling began like this. Moreover, the income shocked Zhang Shijie and Xu's family. According to the profitability, it took less than two years to throw the Ming Hai Trade aside and let the Ming Hai Trade die in name only. By that time, the people of the Ming Hai Trade would kneel in front of them and cry.

When he was smuggling at first, he was very worried that Daming Hai Trade would make trouble, but later it was revealed that as long as the people of Daming Hai Trade had business and made money, they did not have much conflict. So he gradually reduced the share of Daming Hai Trade. Although Daming Hai Trade had also protested, they were not as extreme as himself. This made his heart grow bigger and bigger.

Now he understood that those people were secretly sorting out his materials and secretly sorting out goods from the vassal states. And they were able to gather so many merchants, including the five major families, to do this, except Luo Xin, and no one else. This matter was arranged by Luo Xin. And the one who reported it in the end was another big boss, Hu Zongxian.

This is to kill him.

He never thought that he was too greedy and wanted to force the five major families to destroy their families, nor did he think that he wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty's Marine Trade first.

He never thought that if he didn't do this, it would be impossible for others to target him like this.

He just thought that he was fooled, and he felt resentful. After reading these things, the voice of Emperor Jiajing sounded on his head:

"Are you finished reading?"

"I've finished reading it!"

"Do you know your guilt?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I know the crime!"

"What's the crime?" Emperor Jiajing's voice became even colder.

"I am ignorant, I am fooled by a villain, I am wronged." After saying that, Zhang Shijie lay on the ground, feeling in pain:

"I am sorry for Your Majesty's cultivation, I will die."

"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing's voice became colder: "Are you wronged?"
