Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 391 Opportunity!

Any policy that involves the national economy and people's livelihood, whether it is drafted or implemented, requires a long time to settle. No decision can be made clearly today and the results will be seen tomorrow. It can take as short as one or two years, and as long as it takes It will take three to five years before we can concretely see the corresponding changes brought about by this decision.

During this policy cycle, in addition to having enough patience, we must also maintain enough attention to solve problems when encountering them, solve crises when encountering challenges, and gradually adjust and improve during continuous implementation and error correction. Then expand the scope of policy implementation.

Zhu Youxiao knew exactly this, so many of his plans and decisions were concentrated under the specially designed Shaofu framework system. This is the limit of absolute control of the current imperial power. Areas beyond this scope can also be promoted. Let’s implement it, but in the actual implementation stage, problems of one kind or another will inevitably arise.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhu Youxiao decided in his heart that five years before Tianqi, matters beyond the framework of the Shaofu should be handed over to capable ministers and officials in foreign dynasties. All this was to give the Ming Dynasty a buffer. , not to mention too many new changes, which will lead to intensification of internal conflicts, which is what Zhu Youxiao never wants to see!

……

Tongzhou.

"The sky has eyes!"

In a secret house somewhere, Fan Yongdou's excited voice sounded, "Haha... I never expected that under Shandong rule, so many disasters would occur at this time. Well, if this happens, we will have the opportunity we have been waiting for so long." Here we come, this time someone is going to cause chaos in Shandong and Beizhili!!"

When he saw this, Fan Yongdou coughed violently, holding the secret letter tightly in his hand, with veins popping out on his forehead, and he looked very ferocious.

"master."

The old servant looked worried and stepped forward to pat Fan Yongdou's back. Compared to what Fan Yongdou said, the old servant was more concerned about Fan Yongdou's body.

As a son of the Fan family, he is much older than Fan Yongdou. He can be said to have watched Fan Yongdou grow up. Everything he has is given by the Fan family.

"We can't stay in Tongzhou any longer. We have to go to Shandong."

Fan Yongdou endured the discomfort, stared at the old servant and said: "If you want to cause chaos in Shandong and Beizhili, the most important thing is to make Shandong chaos first. People are panicked under the great disaster. I guess there must be no peace in all parts of Shandong right now. The order in a few places is completely chaotic, especially the urgently needed food, medicinal materials, etc., which will inevitably lead to huge price increases."

"We don't have many hidden assets in Shandong, but I remember that there are a few that are related to the Kong family? Do you still remember these people?"

"remember."

The old servant nodded hurriedly and replied: "However, those who have connections with the Kong family are mostly distant branches. Even if we drag them all into the water, it may be difficult to cause ripples throughout Shandong. After all..."

"This is indeed a problem."

Fan Yongdou frowned, "There are too few people participating, and the capital is not enough. If you want to disrupt all parts of Shandong, you are not very confident."

"That's right, sir."

The old servant seemed to have thought of something, "Among the secret properties set up in Shandong, there is a family under the rule of Yanzhou. Someone from the Wenxiang Sect seemed to have looked for it before, but in the end nothing happened."

"Wen Xiang Cult?"

Fan Yongdou's eyes lit up, "How could you have forgotten them? Every time there is a major disaster, they are everywhere, especially in Shandong, Henan and other places. There are many private associations. Why didn't you tell someone about this in the first place?"

"Small~"

The old servant was speechless for a moment. At that time, the Fan family mainly focused on smuggling, and the money they spent on smuggling was still astonishing. It seemed that these transactions in the customs were just done with precautions. Reserved. After all, after the imperial court shut down the customs, conducting business outside the country would be a capital crime of beheading if found out.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Fan Yongdou saw this and knew what was going on. Then he said, "When we get to Shandong, we have to try to get in touch with these people."

"Yes."

The old servant immediately nodded in response.

The fault was that the factory guards secretly went to Zhangjiakou and seized all their transactions. Now, he would definitely not stay here.

Fan Yongdou didn't pay much attention to the secret assets set up in the customs before, so long as they could play a role in selling stolen goods, that's exactly what happened. The groups responsible for these secret assets were all sons of the Fan family, and they won Fan Yongdou's respect. Trust, but that's all.

"By the way, send reliable personnel to find Tong Yangxing and the others."

After thinking about what to do next, Fan Yongdou thought of a group of people again, stretched out his hand and said to the old servant: "If you want to see me, Fan Yongdou, go to Shandong. If you want to disrupt Shandong, we alone are not enough. I remember them Jurchens, In order to spy on the situation in the Ming Dynasty, the Kesun faction had hidden stakes planted in Shandong."

"Then what if Tong Yangxing doesn't go?"

The old servant was a little worried and said: "After all, there have been a lot of Jinyiwei Banner schools dispatched here in Gyeonggi recently. Will this make Tong Yangxing and the others afraid?"

"They will go."

Fan Yongdou sneered and said: "The most urgent thing right now is not us, but Tong Yangxing and the others. Don't forget, the old slave suffered such a big loss in Liao, so he must be holding back his anger."

"I have been secretly cooperating with the old slave for so long. I know his temperament very well. I always have to avenge myself. If I don't bite off this fat piece of Liaodong, it will be even more uncomfortable than killing him!"

Even though Fan Yongdou personally went to the Jianlu Eight Banners' actual control area very few times, and met with Nurhaci even less, but from just those few meetings, Fan Yongdou knew Nurhachi's temperament.

This is an ambitious man.

The three guards of Jianzhou who used to be in chaos were able to annex all the enemy tribes under Nurhachi's conquest, which shows Nurhaci's ability and courage.

Fan Yongdou would definitely not give up cooperating with Shanxi. After all, the greater the achievements Jianlu achieved in Liao, the more benefits they would gain. This is all real.

The Jianlu were indeed very powerful, but their needs for food, gunpowder, and iron materials could not be met by themselves. Even if they captured a large number of Han people, very few were truly willing to surrender.

"Ming Ting, sooner or later, someone will make you pay the price."

Looking at the old servant's leaving figure, Fan Yongdou's eyes were cold and stern, veins popped up on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Everything my Fan family has lost, I must pay back one by one!!!"

Deep in Fan Yongdou's heart, he is dominated by a hatred. It is precisely this hatred that allows him to live until now. Otherwise, without the support of this hatred, he is afraid that when he escapes from Shanxi, he, Fan Yongdou, will never die. fell down...
