The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Sending Yang Tiansheng back from the Southeast as the second assistant of the Ming court's cabinet was indeed a fortune. He drove a wedge into the monolithic official and business vanity fair of the Ming Dynasty, and hit it down, and the problem was exposed.

Yang Tiansheng is the brother of Yan Changwu's cheap old man. He helped Yan Changwu rise to the top and married his daughter to Yan Changwu. This is the queen of the Southeast, Yang Ying'er.

Yan Changwu has always fought outside. He is a native of Southern Fujian, so he used his wife as a housekeeper to manage the military and political affairs of the Southeastern country in accordance with the family rules of Southern Fujian.

Yang Ying'er has been a housewife for so many years, so she is very familiar with her and employs people appropriately.

But there is one person who is not reused!

That is her father, Yang Tiansheng, who is not bad, has strong ability, and can do business in foreign languages, which is extremely rare!

At the time, Yan Changwu's superiority was not based on the three-inch tongue of a counselor, but Yang Tiansheng's next group of brothers, iron-blooded superiors.

Yang Yijun ruled the family by law, ordered and banned, and he really wanted to be a general at sea.

But she only rotates in the positions of second-class ministers such as foreign trade, foreign affairs, economy, and welfare. Regarding personnel, finance and military affairs, Yang Yinger has never touched Yang Tiansheng, has been suppressing him, and has not given him progress. He enters the cabinet and worships the prime minister and does not give him power. She is really an unfilial daughter.

Yan Changwu asked curiously, Yang Ying'er actually said something like this: "I don't want my father to be Yang Jian second!"

Yang Jian!

The founding monarch of the Sui Dynasty was in an improper position. He was originally a minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his son-in-law was the Emperor Yuwenyun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yuwenyun's death, his son Yuwenchan succeeded to the throne (his mother Zhu Manyue, not Yang Jian's daughter). Yuwenchan was young and could not keep the throne. Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty.

The married daughter is the water poured out. Yan Changwu didn't worry about who would dare to change when he was there, but Yang Yinger had to make the worst plans for her and Yan Changwu's son.

The so-called general will inevitably be killed in battle, good swimmers drown in the water, her husband floats at sea all day long, and God knows where it will go one day!

Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead and beware of officials.

Yang Tiansheng naturally has the advantage, after all, who wouldn't please the queen's father!

The more powerful and dangerous he is, Yang Ying'er refused to let her father be promoted, so the father-daughter relationship was very ordinary.

However, Yang Tiansheng is indeed a talent, and Yan Changwu feels that it is a pity to let him in the southeast, so he was placed in Daming, and then he dominated the economic operation of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately raised the economy of Daming to a level, which is very powerful. Look like.

This time he accompanied Yan Changwu to the east, as Yan Changwu’s camp chief, managing military and political affairs, well organized and not troublesome at all. Yan Changwu called him "a talent of Pang Tong, a thing of a hundred miles, easy as abnormal, a thing of thousands of miles, It's not a problem!"

On the boat, he saw that Yan Changwu had a headache because of the lack of silver, and he uncovered a terrifying case. After it was completed, there would be no problem with silver!

It turned out that the Yangzhou salt merchants had a very good business. They used a large amount of salt. They applied for an advance of the sales of salt for the next year. In order to maintain a stable sales of salt, the government issued production targets to the saltworks every year, neither less nor more. .

Less, insufficient supply, and rising salt prices.

Too much, too much supply, falling salt prices, and government taxation.

The salt merchants demanded more salt sales, not arbitrarily, they have to pay extra interest. However, due to the collusion between the local salt administration and the salt merchants, the silver tax that was supposed to be paid to the state treasury, or defaulted or "honored" the salt administration, has not been handed in this fee for 20 years from the former Ming Dynasty to Xinmingda.

Yang Tiansheng found out that he had a deficit of at least 15 million taels of silver!

The cover-up was very good, and officials from all walks of life had arrived, but Xinming set up an independent "Imperial Economic Intelligence Bureau" according to the Southeastern country a year ago, which is only really responsible for the princess, and it specializes in investigating such economic cases. There are many people in charge. For the officials from the Southeast, they worked tirelessly to finally find this case.

When Zhu Zhenzhen saw that the implications were so great, she was afraid that HOLD would not be able to hold back. Looking at Manchu civil and military affairs, foreign monks were good at recitations, so Yang Tiansheng could help.

Yang Tiansheng advised Zhu Zhenzhen not to act rashly and let her husband come!

On the battleship returning home, Yang Tiansheng exposed the matter. Yan Changwu used the patrol as an excuse to first summon civilian officials from all over the country and mobilize them. At the same time, he mobilized tens of thousands of Marines, together with 50,000 troops, and surrounded them. Yangzhou House!

Yang Tiansheng’s concerns are right. Only Yan Changwu is able to deal with this matter, because the officials involved in the case are no small matter.

The first one was Zhu Yongjin, governor of Suzhou, a great official in Xinjiang, and the twelfth scholar of Ding Chouke in the tenth year of Chongzhen, Daming. In the same year, there was a very famous man named Du Yinxi, who is now the fifth hero of the Daming cabinet!

In addition, Yu Chonghua, who is the Xunyan Yushi, is also a jinshi of Xinweike in the fourth year of Chongzhen, with deep roots.

There is also chapter Gui, the prefect of Yangzhou, the same year as Yu Chonghua, and Han Shiji, the commander of the 7th Division of the newly formed Army in Zhenjiang. There are dozens of middle and high-level military and political officials involved!

The capacity of the salt merchants in Yangzhou and the number of officials who brought down the silver bullets ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ is really jaw-dropping. It can be said that a large number of officials in the Yangtze River and Lianghuai officialdom were dragged down by them.

When Yan Changwu summoned them, he said to them, "Is there something wrong with this king, so that you don't listen to this king, but only listen to the salt merchants?"

With a bang, half of the officials who were interviewed fell to their knees, and even the governor knelt, making the other officials who had not committed the crime looked at each other!

There was no shortage of this kneeling, and some officials who were not on the investigation list had a guilty conscience, also knelt down and surrendered themselves.

Yan Changwu's power is not trivial, only to mention that the officials have no resistance, obediently, according to his request, took the paper and pen to write the explanation materials!

His power is not only that, Yang Tiansheng downplayed the authentic words when he met with Yangzhou merchants: "The officer, under the will of the Southeast King, investigates and handles the Yangzhou salt case, confession is lenient, and resists strictly!"

"You have confessed, at most you will be exiled by yourself. If you don't confess, you will be decapitated and your family will be exiled!" Yang Tiansheng said: "Those who have done bad things, stand up!"

An embarrassing silence, a second passed, no one moved.

Suddenly a heavy, neat voice sounded on the ground: "One! Two! Three!"

All the salt merchants stepped forward, and the remaining merchants had their eyes on it!

In this way, Yan Changwu took the prestige of a big victory and effortlessly let the Yangzhou salt case come to light.

He drove back to Nanjing and arrived at the Niu Shou Mountain Qingliang Temple. Inside, there were only soldiers but no monks. The temple had been controlled by the army. He saw an official. Yan Changwu sighed, "Why do you have to come!"

The official said nonchalantly: "The minister is guilty! The crime deserves death!"

He was actually a cabinet member, the third hero among civil servants, Yang Chengxin!

This person has become the general backstage of the Yangzhou salt case!
