Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 91 The forces behind the scenes (for subscription)
into the night.

More than a dozen beautiful women who were caught up were sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao ordered the eunuch, "From now on, no one is allowed to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

In fact, he was very tired, and he wanted to take a good rest. Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and rejected all the show girls arranged by the Queen Mother tonight.

The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao got up, Cao Zhengchun was waiting outside the hall. After Zhu Houzhao got up, Cao Zhengchun handed in the memorial of yesterday's interrogation.

"Qizou Your Majesty, everything has been found out, and everything is on the memorial."

"Well, who are the forces that hinder the reform? Who is the person who gave the money to the censor? It's a big deal, and I'm a little jealous. Who is this person?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to open the memorial, he really wanted to know the forces behind it.

Cao Zhengchun interrogated the censor overnight last night, and at dawn this morning, the censor half-deadly explained everything,
The person who gave him the money was a large family in the capital, and after Cao Zhengchun investigated this large family, he suddenly discovered that he actually belonged to the No. [-] village in the world.

The force that was trying to stop Daming's tax reform turned out to be Shen Wanqian, a big businessman from the rich side of the No. [-] village in the world.

Shen Wanqian is known as "timely rain" because of his generosity and generosity, because of his good deeds, he has a good reputation in the local area, and he also has some friends in the world, so there is no one he can't help.

He once founded the No. [-] villa in the world, recruiting strange people and strange things from all over the world, and his staff is full of talents, and his bodyguards are even well-known in the world as "the ghost in a cave in Xishan".

Zhu Houzhao put Cao Zhengchun's memorial on the table, and heaved a long sigh: "Oh! Isn't the owner of the No. [-] villa in the world Shangguan Haitang?"

Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Shen Wanqian created the No. [-] estate in the world, but Shen Wanqian gave the No. [-] estate in the world to the Tiedan God Hou Jingye. Disciple, naturally you are in charge of everything in the No. [-] village in the world."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao said silently in his heart: "Is it Shen Wanqian who is unwilling to be lonely? Or is the God of Tiedan just too boring to hinder me?"

Zhu Houzhao thought of Shangguan Haitang the night before yesterday, was it an undercover agent that Tie Dan Shenhou deliberately placed by his side?

"Cao Aiqing."

"The minister is here, what is His Majesty's will?" Cao Zhengchun asked immediately, clasping his hands.

"I've given you a secret decree. You should secretly investigate Shen Wanqian, but don't disturb God Lord Tiedan. After all, he is my uncle, and this matter must be done secretly."

"In addition, if it is really found out that the subordinates of God of Tiedan were responsible, those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who should be arrested will be arrested, and no mercy will be given!"

"I obey the order!" Cao Zhengchun said with a bow.

Cao Zhengchun likes to do this kind of thing the most, maybe because he likes to trick people in his bones!
Tie Dan Shenhou is the representative of the vassal king. Although he supported Zhu Houzhao on the surface, especially when Emperor Hongzhi passed away, he was the one who supported Zhu Houzhao.

However, knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, imperial power, as long as anyone with a little ambition wants to have it.

However, when Cao Zhengchun withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao's mind changed again. He felt that he should now protect the God of Tiedan, after all, he was his uncle and a member of the royal family.

Zhu Houzhao continued to read the memorial.

After being reprimanded by the court, the civil servants have become much more stable. In fact, many people want to understand one thing, that is, as long as they don't give too much advice to the emperor and go to court step by step every day, they will still get the salary they deserve .

There is really no need to put your wealth and life into it for the sake of fame.As for the embezzlement of money by the chief minister of the cabinet, it has come to an abrupt end since then, and no one has mentioned it again.

The commercial taxation reform of the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs has been thoroughly carried out, and Zhu Houzhao has cleared the obstacles for them.

In the prefectures and counties of the Ming Empire, money houses were built one after another, and ordinary people could deposit their wealthy money into the money houses, and then earn interest.

If you need money urgently, you can also borrow money from the bank, but the interest rate is a little higher, but just for this, the tax of Ming Dynasty will increase a lot.

As for the money bank, it actually existed during the Northern Song Dynasty in China. The original currency was called "Jiaozi", but it has not been officially recognized until now.

The Qianzhuang established by Zhu Houzhao, according to later generations, has the nature of a bank. However, in this era, the word is still too avant-garde, so Zhu Houzhao still uses the name Qianzhuang, which is easily accepted by ordinary people.

The banks of the Ming Empire were connected with the state treasury. When the people saved money, they actually went directly to the state treasury. When withdrawing money, they were also withdrawn from the state treasury.

Zhu Houzhao felt that as long as the bank system was perfected, it would be a matter of time before Ming's treasury would be filled.

He has also made arrangements for the Ministry of Households. More than [-]% of the money deposited by the people in the bank must be kept. The money will not be used to maintain the normal operation of the bank. In the long run, as long as the entire system is perfect, it can be said to be beneficial to the country. Good news for Limin.

The cabinet and the household department were protected by Zhu Houzhao, so they naturally worked for Daming wholeheartedly.Therefore, a vigorous reform began.

At the same time, the number one villager in the world.

While Zhu Houzhao was establishing the economic system of the Ming Empire, Cao Zhengchun had already led his men to track down Shen Wanqian's whereabouts.

Shen Wanqian was hiding in the No. [-] Villa under the Heaven. At this time, the No. [-] Villa under the Heaven gathered hundreds of talented people from different worlds. They all possessed unique knowledge and had a famous name in the Jianghu.

What is the world's number one Hercules, the world's number one warrior, the world's number one swordsman, the world's number one swordsman, the world's number one thief, and the world's number one disguiser?
It was during these gatherings of No. [-] in the world that Cao Zhengchun's figure appeared.He blocked Shen Wanqian in a side room.

Shen Wanqian's personal bodyguard, Xishan Yiku ghosts, all appeared.

Cao Zhengchun looked at Shen Wanqian with a dead smile and said, "The Za family is here to invite Mr. Shen to come on the orders of His Majesty."

Shen Wanqian's expression was very ugly at this time, he knew that paper could not contain fire, his actions had already attracted the attention of His Majesty, and it seemed that the future would not be easy.

Otherwise, how could the people from the East Factory be targeted?

These hawks and dogs of the imperial court are insidious and ruthless in their actions and will not give themselves a good end.

"Eunuch Cao, what do you mean?" Shen Wanqian said loudly to Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun smiled sinisterly: "Shen Wanqian, don't pretend, the silver you gave to the imperial censor is still there. You are so rich, why don't you use it to supply the front line? Instead, you want to disturb His Majesty." New Deal?"

"What are you thinking? Do you think the Zajia family doesn't know?"

"Eunuch Cao, can you stop spitting blood? Everyone knows that I, Shen Wanqian, am a grassroots person. I usually drink and drink with some friends in the rivers and lakes. If I don't have any thoughts, how can I give money to others? framed by people."

"Framed? All right, Mr. Shen, you might as well come with me. If I frame you, you can immediately twist my head off and use it as a urinal, and the miscellaneous family won't even frown. How about it?"

Shen Wanqian cupped his fists towards Cao Zhengchun, and then made a gesture of invitation.
