The gods of the gods

"The emperor's words are very kind." Wan Sanqian agreed, "The people are engaged in agriculture, but the land is different. The south of the Yangtze River is a land of fish and rice, and agriculture naturally takes the first place in development. However, the northwest and northeast are bitter and cold, and the land is barren. How can the people engage in agriculture? ? The only way to survive is to take another path.”

"Furthermore, there are very few people who have real land of their own in the hands of the people all over the country. Most of them farm land for landlords and wealthy businessmen. Instead of doing this, it is better to pull them from agriculture to commerce and industry. Promote the progress of commerce and industry. Industry is the pillar of the country, and commerce is the lifeblood of the country. Although agriculture is the foundation, there are too many people farming. Instead of wasting resources, it is better to greatly promote commerce and industry, so that commerce and industry Become the mainstream, so as to drive the economic development of the country. As for agriculture, people will not give up their jobs even if they think about it.”

"Good, good, good." Emperor Zhengde praised repeatedly, "Wan Sanqian, you are also a sensible person! Business is the lifeblood of the country, and this statement is not false at all. Now you account for nearly [-]% of the country's business, and the Hua family also has Two and a half percent, plus the influence of the imperial court, we can easily control the business of the entire Ming Dynasty, adjust the business of the entire Ming Dynasty, and adjust it in the direction we want."

"But your majesty, what a major business reform is, once there is a loophole in it." Zhu Wushi said worriedly.

"Isn't there still the Hulong Villa of the Emperor?" Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "With Hulong Villa's ability to collect information from the No. It's not as difficult as the emperor's uncle imagined. If someone is really playing tricks behind the scenes, I think it shouldn't be a problem to find out with the ability of the emperor's uncle. Once found out, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy." At the end, Emperor Zhengde's expression Also became indifferent.

"Your Majesty, the commercial reform may shake the interests of many people, especially the civil and military officials in the court. Once their interests are touched, I'm afraid..." Zhu Wushi smiled wryly, "In this way, the entire court will be in danger." It was involved again."

"Then just clean the court hall." Emperor Zhengde's words directly caused Zhu Wushi and Wan Sanqian's expressions to change drastically.

Chapter 15 Three Gold Medals

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Zhu ignored his expression and said, "I suffered from Liu Jin and others a few years ago, and the court was unstable. Once the court is cleaned, the entire Ming Dynasty may enter a precarious situation. People seize the opportunity and take advantage of this chaos to attack, I am in danger!"

"Yes! Your Majesty." Wan Sanqian tried to dissuade again and again at this time, "The Emperor's business reform is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and the grassroots will definitely cooperate very much, but it is absolutely impossible to use commercial reforms to cleanse the court! The court is the core of a country, and commerce is the lifeblood of the country, if there is a problem with both of them, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty is imminent!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "You are overthinking. Do you think I have not considered such a thing? You have misunderstood my thoughts. How can I really carry out the court while reforming business? What about the Great Cleansing? What I mean is to take advantage of this opportunity of commercial reform to see which officials in the imperial court are truly benefiting the country and the people, and which ones are just pretending to be the ones who want to rule the court with cholera."

Hearing this, Zhu Wushi, Wan Sanqian and others breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty is wise, the reform of business will definitely affect the minds of many people. If they contribute to this, they will be loyal to the Emperor and serve as officials for the benefit of the people." On the other hand, if someone disturbs the commercial reform for his own selfishness, he must be the leader of the cholera government! The emperor can purify the government and the opposition while reforming the commercial industry for the benefit of the people. road.

Zhu Wushi glanced at Wansanqian beside him, but he felt a little bad in his heart. Wansanqian was able to survive a crisis in the past. Lay down such a large asset.I was ordered by the first emperor to build Hulong Mountain Villa, and then got the support of Wansanqian, and then established the huge information network. If Wansanqian changed from supporting himself to supporting the emperor, it would be a big deal. Not good.

Not to mention that after the emperor received the support of Wan Sanqian, the richest man in the country, his financial resources soared, his ability to control the court would inevitably be greatly strengthened, and his own rights would also be weakened invisibly.If [-] people supported the emperor, it would be impossible for him to fully support him as before. This will undoubtedly greatly weaken his power, which is not good for him!

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "This plan is indeed very good, but it cannot be separated from your support, Wan Sanqian. Without the support of you, the richest businessman in the world, commercial reform would only be a joke."

"Your Majesty praises it. Caomin is only doing business well. It is a great honor to be able to share the emperor's worries and benefit the common people."

"Okay, well said." Emperor Zhengde nodded repeatedly, then clapped his hands lightly, and summoned an eunuch holding a tray.

Wan Sanqian and Zhu ignored it and found three red gold tokens on the tray.Under the signal of Emperor Zhengde, the eunuch brought the tray to Wan Sanqian and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, what are these three gold medals?" Wan Sanqian asked in confusion.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Wan Sanqian, if you are willing to share my worries and support my decision to reform business, I will naturally not treat you badly. This first gold medal represents my meaning. The place where the gold medal is located, If you come here in person, you can hold it in your hand and ask officials from all over the country to cooperate with you in reforming business. If you don’t follow, you can kill them first. I think with this thing, the efficiency of your business reform should be greatly improved. "

"What the emperor said is very true. With the cooperation of local governments, the grassroots can reduce too many unnecessary worries, and the success rate and progress of commercial reforms will definitely be greatly improved. If the grasslands were sure to complete the commercial reform within ten years, now three One year is enough." Wan Sanqian said happily.

"Very good." Emperor Zhengde nodded, then pointed to the second gold medal and said, "This gold medal represents your identity. Although the commercial reform is what I mean, you are just a commoner after all. It will go against my will, but some people may not recognize you. This second gold medal is the status I bestowed on you. Although you have no right to reappear, your status is higher than that of a second-rank official."

"Grassman, thank you for the emperor's gift." Wan Sanqian's face was full of joy. Since ancient times, it has been the division of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants. The status of merchants is the lowest. Although they have a lot of money, they are oppressed by officials. Now they have this Token, he is also a person of status, and he is no longer an ordinary merchant.

"As for the last gold medal, I didn't intend to give it to you now, because this is the benefit I intend to give you after the commercial reform and after you have made great contributions." Seeing Wan Sanqian puzzled , Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "This third gold medal is a gold medal for avoiding death."

"If you want to come to the death-prevention gold medal, you know what it means!" Emperor Zhengde said, "This death-prevention gold medal can exonerate all crimes, even the crime of treason and the crime of implicating the nine clans."

"The grassroots are terrified, how can the grassroots be able to be so loved by the emperor?" Wan Sanqian knelt down on the ground and said gratefully.

Emperor Zhengde shook his head slightly and said, "Wan Sanqian, if you can complete this major event of commercial reform and bring the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty one step closer, what is a mere gold medal for avoiding death? I can grant you a title, hereditary. Moreover, I gave you this death-free gold medal to prevent you from inevitably encountering some restricted areas during this commercial reform and being caught by others. With this death-free gold medal, you can no longer worry about it."

"The emperor has spent so much time and effort on behalf of the grassroots, and he is very considerate of the grassroots. I vow to complete the commercial reform to the death, so that the emperor's worries will be relieved." Wan Sanqian knelt down on the ground. "I know that in recent years, Liu Jin and others have caused chaos and left the treasury empty. The grassroots are willing to do their best to relieve the emperor's worries." Saying that, Wan Sanqian took out the gift list he had prepared a long time ago and handed it over.

"Oh!" Eunuch Sun who was next to him hurriedly took the gift slip and passed it on. After Emperor Zhengde took the gift slip and looked at it, he couldn't help but be secretly astonished.Although he knew that Wan Sanqian, the richest businessman in the world, was as rich as a country, but the things on this gift list still let him know what a rich person is.

3000 million taels of silver, 500 million taels of gold, ten carts of pearls, emeralds,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the combined value of these things is much more valuable than the wealth in the treasury right now. He truly deserves to be the richest businessman in the world!You must know that this is only something offered by Wansanqian. No one knows how much of his assets are in it, but it is certain that the items on the gift list are far worse than all his properties. It is true that a thousand riches can rival a country.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the list of gifts, then looked at Wansanqian and said, "As expected of Wansanqian, who is as rich as a country, but I cannot accept this generous gift from you. The next commercial reform will require you to spend a lot of wealth. These Money is not a small amount, and with the help of this money, business reform will be much easier. Although the national treasury is empty, it does not mean that there is no money at all."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although business reform requires a lot of money, it still requires the cooperation of local governments. Now that I have the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor, the biggest difficulty has been solved, and money is a secondary thing." Wan Sanqian bowed and saluted.

Emperor Zhengde nodded, and then said, "If that's the case, then I will accept it. It just so happens that I need a lot of money to support the next thing I want to do. This move can be said to be a timely gift!"

"The emperor approves, and I can do my part for the emperor and the people of the world. This is what I should do." Wan Sanqian said respectfully.

"If all the officials can be like you and think about the people, my Ming Dynasty will definitely prosper a hundred times." Emperor Zhengde sighed slightly, then looked at Zhu Wushi and said, "Uncle Huang is also very curious about what I want to do. So much money? This matter still needs the support of the emperor!"

Zhu ignored and cupped his hands and said, "This king is really curious about what the emperor has done?"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "I remember that the emperor's uncle Hulong Villa has the No. [-] manor in the world, and the manor collects the No. [-] people in various industries in the world. It is rumored that Zhang Jinjiu, the No. [-] detective in the world, is also among them, but real?"

"The emperor is right. Zhang Jinjiu, the number one detective in the world, is indeed working in the number one villa in the world, but I don't know what the emperor asked him for?" Zhu Wushi asked curiously. Zhang Jinjiu had a deep friendship with him, and he also His trump card for collecting news, the emperor seems to want to meet him.

Chapter 16 Six Doors

"It's good that he's here." Emperor Zhengde nodded, and then he said, "Over the years, Liu Jin has been troubled, so that the court is in turmoil, and people everywhere have also suffered from it. Black and white, so I intend to establish a new department in various places."

"I plan to use this department to handle and investigate all kinds of big, strange, important cases, and even cases related to martial arts. This department can echo with Hulong Villa, and establish four great arrests in the southeast, northwest, and for Hulong Villa. The big internal agents share the pressure. What do you think?"

Emperor Zhengde's words surprised Zhu Wushi. This idea is indeed very good. If the cases in various places are dealt with quickly, the people will definitely be full of trust in the court and have a greater sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.But how did the emperor come up with such a way?

And whether it is business reform, cleaning the court, or the establishment of a new department right now, these all take a lot of time to think about.Could it be that the emperor was really just keeping a low profile in the past, but why didn't he continue now, instead, he meant to show his strengths? Did he think that he was full-fledged and had enough strength to suppress the king and Cao Zhengchun?

Just when Zhu Wushi was thinking secretly, he only heard Emperor Zhengde continue to say, "The purpose of this department is to complete the trial of cases in various prefectures and regions as soon as possible, and speed up the processing of cases in various regions. However, in this case, professional talents are needed. Do it, so I plan to ask Uncle Huang to bring Zhang Jinjiu."

"The emperor's idea is very good. The establishment of such a department can indeed quickly handle the cases in various prefectures, but Zhang Jinjiu is only one person. Although he is the best detective in the world, he can't handle so many cases! "Zhu Wushi frowned.

"This is easy to handle. The No. [-] Village in the World selects the No. [-] in the world in various industries. It is a test. Otherwise, how can Zhang Jinjiu win the title of the No. [-] detective? What I mean is that those who used to be the same as Zhang Jinjiu Invite all the people who competed for the position of the first detective together, and place them under Zhang Jinjiu's command. With Zhang Jinjiu, the number one detective, I think other people will be convinced."

"And don't the emperor feel that there are too few secret agents in the inner circle?" Emperor Zhengde sighed slightly, "It took the uncle 20 years to find the three secret agents in the inner circle. I admit that each of them can be independent and have great achievements." ability, but their number is too small, and they can only worry about some important matters, when it comes to handling real cases, they are not as good as Zhang Jinjiu, a master detective."

"Your Majesty is right, but the number of secret agents in Tianya and the others is relatively small, so it is right for His Majesty to form this new department." Speaking of this, Zhu ignored some hesitation and said, "But Your Majesty, this department specializes in hearing cases from all over the world." I don't know which department the case belongs to?"

Emperor Zhengde said indifferently, "This department should be under the management of Hulong Villa for the time being! Hulong Villa has the fastest information network in the world, which can give this department the fastest and most accurate information, allowing them to solve the case in the shortest time. What do you think, Uncle?"

"This king is naturally willing to share the emperor's worries." After Zhu Wushi heard the emperor's words, he was relieved. Although the newly established department only handles cases in various places, it actually has a lot of power. What he is most worried about is falling behind. In Cao Zhengchun's hands, such words would undoubtedly greatly increase Cao Zhengchun's power, but now that it fell into his own hands, he was relieved.

"Your Majesty, what should this department do instead?" Zhu ignored the request.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said three words slowly, "Six doors."

East factory.Cao Zhengchun's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, while Iron Claw Flying Eagle stood aside silently, not daring to speak.

Just listen to Cao Zhengchun's sad way: "Six doors, four gods, hum, Zhu Tiedan saw that our family didn't bother him recently, so he thought that our family was afraid of him, so he came up with such a way to expand himself power, but our family has to see if your six doors can stand up."

Iron Claw Flying Eagle's eyes flashed, and he began to suggest, "Master, this matter is the emperor's will. If we do this, we are going against the emperor again. Didn't the governor say that the current emperor is unfathomable? Fighting against the emperor, will these handles fall into the hands of the emperor."

Cao Zhengchun's expression paused immediately, and he became hesitant, and then he asked in confusion, "Feiying, what do you think the emperor is thinking? The power that Zhu ignores can be said to invade the government and the public, and even poses a certain threat to the emperor's throne. But the emperor still handed over the newly-built department of the Six Doors to the Hulong Villa to manage, wouldn't this give Zhu Wushi a chance to grow stronger?"

Iron Claw Flying Eagle lowered his head and thought for a while, then not only did his expression change slightly, he said, "Master, do you think it's possible that the emperor wants to take the iron courage and wait for the knife?"

Cao Zhengchun's expression moved slightly, and he quickly asked, "How do you explain this?"

Iron Claw Flying Eagle said in a low voice, "If the sky wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy. Right now, the emperor attaches so much importance to iron courage, and the power of the six gates has been entrusted to Hulong Villa. The current Hulong Villa is as good as it is now." What is the difference between the second imperial court? If the god of iron courage raises his heart to seek rebellion, then,,,, "

"You mean, the emperor is giving Tie Dan the chance to create a rebellion, and then intends to annihilate him?" Cao Zhengchun was not only surprised, "If the emperor is sure that Tie Dan, whose power has risen, Annihilation in one fell swoop, the power of the emperor,,,," Cao Zhengchun couldn't help shivering when he said this.
