Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After Zhang He and others who had left the Lin Mansion returned to the Thousand Households Office, Zhang He called Chen Xicheng from the Hundred Households over and ordered: "Take your own people and escort Zhao Dongming to the capital, be careful on the way. , the road probably won’t be too peaceful.”

Chen Xicheng cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, the humble official is willing to take the head as a guarantee, this Zhao Dongming will definitely come to the capital alive."

There has never been an impenetrable wall in the world, and this is even more so in Da Ming.

Before Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, even the marching route of the army could sometimes be leaked through the court, not to mention the fact that this kind of relationship is not particularly important and Emperor Chongzhen has not deliberately blocked the news?

The news that Emperor Chongzhen planned to ban all private salt and official salt spread from the capital to the ears of salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River only a dozen days later.

However, to Emperor Chongzhen's surprise, many salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were not even in the mood to gather together for a discussion, and they looked as if they were going to admit it.

In the eyes of all the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, if the court refuses to dump salt, they can do other things. At worst, they can dump rice or do some other business. There is no need to fight with the court on the matter of salt.

Besides, even if he really planned to fight against the imperial court, he still had to be able to beat it, right?

At the very least, the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River felt that no matter how many desperadoes they had under their command, even if the number was multiplied several times, they would not be able to match the army in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

Anyway, although the desperadoes raised by myself and others dared to fight and kill, but they had no courage to rebel, and secondly, they were not as good as those in Shaanxi who were hungry and eager to rebel, right?

Since people like myself don't have the guts to rebel, it's better to just obey the court's orders and let it go.

Moreover, according to the news from the home of Lin Weifeng, the biggest salt merchant, the salt primers in the hands of people like himself can be exchanged for silver at the original price.

This is the most important thing.

Although the number of salt primers in the hands of many salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River varies, after all, there are many origins that are not clear, or simply put, it means that they did not spend money to get them.

At this point, everyone is actually similar, and no one is clean.

If the news that the imperial court redeemed the purchased salt at the original price is true, then in this way, each of these salt merchants got a lot of money out of thin air, which can be regarded as some benefits.

Comparing the two phases, on the one hand, he was beheaded after he couldn't resist, and on the other hand, he could get a lot of money for nothing. Jiangnan salt merchants who thought they were not fools made the same choice by coincidence.

Obediently obey the orders, and after the money has been exchanged, I will change my career to do other things.

This made some backhands prepared by Emperor Chongzhen in advance lose their original meaning.

In Emperor Chongzhen's view, it was impossible not to have some fun for himself according to the urine nature of the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

The reaction of the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River made Emperor Chongzhen completely realize that he had overestimated the courage of these salt merchants.

At this time, the salt merchants in the Jiangnan area were all having headaches, and Zheng Zhilong, who was not too far from Yangzhou, was also having headaches.

Unlike the salt merchants who were doing things for money or changing jobs in the future, Zheng Zhilong's headache was Emperor Chongzhen's will to hunt and kill whales.

The ghost knows why there are so many whales, it seems that they can't kill them all.

Even if ten whales correspond to one prince, this Ming Dynasty does not have so many princes at all!

Now I basically hunt every three to five days, and I have a full 10,000+ catties of whale meat in my hand.

If it is said that the kings and princes are dead, I am afraid that all the princes of Ming Dynasty should die now.

With so much whale meat, even if one person eats five catties a day, it is estimated that more than 20 people can eat for a whole day.

It's okay to have too much whale meat piled up on the shore and smell bad, but what made Zheng Zhilong even more troubled was that Emperor Chongzhen never mentioned when this thing would stop hunting.

Even if it takes three to five days to kill one whale, not to mention that sometimes after encountering a large group of whales, it may be two or three or even three or five in one hunt.

Now the amount of whale meat is increasing day by day, and it can even be said that it is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But it takes time for these meats to be marinated or dried.

Seeing the small sheds on the seaside slowly being erected one by one, occupying a larger and larger area, and the smell getting more and more fishy, ​​Zheng Zhilong felt even more headache.

Rubbing his forehead, Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Zhifeng, "How's it going? No news yet?"

Zheng Zhifeng replied with black lines all over his face: "Brother is too anxious, even if there is news in the capital, it will take more than a month to get here, won't it?"

Zheng Zhilong said angrily: "Time! Time! I know the time too! But you smell it, what does it smell like now? Can you still be stupid?"

Zheng Zhifeng was helpless, and said with a muffled voice: "Then what can we do? We can't just transport the freshly peeled whale meat away, and it will all stink on the road by then?"

Although Zheng Zhilong knew that what Zheng Zhifeng said was true, he was still very angry.After standing in a daze for a long time, Zheng Zhilong, who didn't want to smell the fishy smell anymore, said angrily, "Go!"

At this time, Zheng Zhifeng couldn't turn his head, and asked, "Where are we going?"

Zheng Zhilong also said in a muffled voice: "What else can I do? Then go hunt and kill this bastard! Before His Majesty's order comes down, you dare to stop this matter and try?"

Zheng Zhifeng rolled her eyes, and said to Zheng Zhilong, "Actually, there is another way."

Zheng Zhilong is very interested now, is there any way to stop him from getting these whale meat for a while?

Zheng Zhifeng said: "Brother, do you still remember Liu Xiang?"

PS: Surprised or not?Is it surprising?I finished this chapter stiffly after taking the medicine, and I couldn’t keep my eyes open.As for the update at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, there is really no way to guarantee it.Fight for three more.

Chapter 331 When Yidi enters China, will China come?

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Zheng Zhifeng sideways, and said with a chuckle: "Don't pretend that I don't know what you think, didn't you just stop this whaling business by taking the opportunity to beat Liu Xiang?"

Seeing that Zheng Zhifeng still wanted to speak, Zheng Zhilong waved his hand and choked Zheng Zhifeng's words back: "Are you so easy to fool today? I'm afraid we dare to use this kind of excuse today, and someone should come and take it away tomorrow. Let's lock the brothers into Beijing.

Don't talk about going to sea to be a pirate again. Although today's governance is a bit cruel, it is very good for those muddy legs. Who wants to go to sea with us to fight for our lives? "

After thinking for a while, Zheng Zhilong continued: "Okay, don't think about what you have and what you don't have, you'd better read your military book and prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind. By then, our Zheng family will be regarded as a scholar. "

Zheng Zhifeng agreed, but said unwillingly: "Then Li Zi..."

Hearing Zheng Zhifeng mention Li Zizi, Zheng Zhilong's face darkened.

That little girl was too ignorant of good and evil, relying on the fact that she looked a little unscrupulously at her, she made a few hints to herself and walked around with a haha.

But now I can't use force on her.

Among other things, Da Ming Law is here.What's more, Xu Xianchun and Admiral Xu obviously took a high look at this little girl, this little girl has some Jin Yiwei under her command.

In case I used a strong one and was reported by Jin Yiwei, I'd better go back and be a pirate.

Zheng Zhilong, who was in an extremely upset mood, glared at Zheng Zhifeng, and then took Zheng Zhifeng to go out to sea to hunt whales, cursing.

Zheng Zhilong had a headache, but Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, was in a very happy mood now.

In the second year of Chongzhen, without saying anything, Enke will come again.

Moreover, since the whole year of Chongzhen's first year and the second year of Chongzhen's Jingcha cut off the heads of people in the officialdom to flow into rivers, the demand for these officials has increased.

But how many people were there in the Ming Dynasty?How many scholars are there?Is it possible that there is still a lack of those who want to be officials?
