Ming politicians

() Qu Qingze is very smart. When he searched Kuang Siming's mansion, he also arranged for a dozen people to participate. Of course, he also asked that anyone who dares to enrich himself during the search must be beheaded.

Su Tiancheng's thoughts, of course he knew, if so much gold and silver were left behind, wouldn't Jiangning County be able to do greater things? In his heart, he also thought that he could turn a blind eye, but Reason told him that he absolutely cannot do this. This is harming Su Tiancheng. Who doesn't know about such a big matter? Into the prison.

Behind Kuang Siming, there is an unusual relationship. These people will not say anything at the moment, but they are all watching closely, hoping that if there is a problem with Su Tiancheng, as long as there is a slight flaw, they will do it immediately.

Jin Yiwei participated in the search, including the interrogation, so there would be no trouble.

As for the 37 truckloads of supplies, Qu Qingze might have forgotten about them too.

At Xushi, Kuang Siming hanged himself in the prison.

After hearing the news, Su Tiancheng hurried to the prison of the county government.

The prison, which was still noisy not long ago, seemed a little quiet now, and could hear crying, all of which were low sobs.Su Tiancheng, Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze, Liu Zhongji and others walked into the cell.

Kuang Siming died early, and the suicide note he wrote was placed on the table.

Su Jun, who was waiting at the side, saw Su Tiancheng coming, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng looked at Kuang Siming carefully, but Kuang Siming's eyes were not closed.

"My lord, my subordinates and everyone tried their best, but Kuang Siming's eyes were not closed."

Su Tiancheng nodded, and spoke to Kuang Siming's corpse.

"Kuang Siming, what I say is true, and it must be done. You can save it and go with peace of mind."

Kuang Siming's eyes miraculously closed.

The search of the secret room had already begun.

Not to mention the gold and silver treasures hidden in the secret room, just military supplies, Su Tiancheng took a deep breath.

In the Chamber of Secrets, he saw firearms for the first time.

Firearms are strictly controlled by the imperial court, just to prevent leakage.

One thousand shot guns, five hundred guaizi blunderbusses, two hundred three-eyed blunderbusses, twenty franc guns, twenty tiger crouching cannons, ten general cannons, and five red coat cannons.

And countless ammunition.

These firearms are fully equipped with two battalions of divine machines.

There are still two thousand pairs of high-quality armor, one thousand bows and arrows, and countless steel knives and spears.

Qu Qingze looked at these things and was speechless. He didn't expect Kuang Siming to be so bold that he dared to trade these firearms with Hou Jin. No wonder he was so rich.

"My lord, are these ordnance supplies allocated to the sergeants of the inspection department?"

"My lord, the matter is of great importance. I really don't dare to make decisions on my own."

"This is how I think about it. All the gold, silver and treasures here are all handed over to the emperor. As for the military supplies, including food, farmland and mansions, the county government directly seizes them and they are all owned by the county government. After working so hard for a while, Always get something, otherwise how can you reward officials and sergeants.”

Qu Qingze blinked his eyes. He learned this movement from Su Tiancheng.

"My lord, the sergeants of the inspection department are not allowed to be equipped with firearms, armor, bows, arrows, knives, guns and other military supplies. Needless to say, as for food, cultivated land and mansions, there is no need to make a clear report, but these firearms dare not be reported. .”

"Hey, how can this work? Even transporting these firearms will cost a lot of money. Besides, if such a major incident happened in Jiangning County, the sergeants of the inspection department must be expanded, and a large number of them will be needed. How can the county government afford it? Nearly ten thousand salt workers, you have seen, are all good sergeants. They have entered the Yamen of the inspection department. It is impossible to empty their hands. I don’t have enough houses, I plan to build a new camp in the suburbs, it will cost money, and when the time comes, I will have to ask the emperor for money.”

"My lord, I really don't dare to make decisions."

Qu Qingze simply lowered his head and said nothing, and he was unable to answer.

At Zishi, the gold, silver and jewelry were basically counted out. The gold and silver recovered from the secret room was worth 600 million taels of silver. Half of the annual fiscal revenue, handing over these gold and silver treasures to the imperial court, Zhu Youjian didn't know how many things he could do.

The cultivated land purchased by Kuang Siming reached 15 hectares, 12 mu of cultivated land, and the grain stored in the mansion reached [-] shi.

This can no longer be described as ordinary wealth.

Just 12 shi of grain would fill the grain depot in Jiangning County, and it would take several days to move it.

Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang arrived at the third hall.

"My lord, the 37 horse-drawn carriages seized include a total of 10 taels of gold, 50 taels of silver, and some leather and other materials. All of them have been stored in the mansion. As for the war horses, I have counted them all and wait for your lord to send them."

"Well, these are the seventeen salt merchants in Jiangning County. Is it a transaction?"

"Salt Ding has been interrogated, and it is indeed jointly owned by seventeen salt merchants, of which Kuang Siming has the largest share."

"Okay, don't put the gold and silver in the account for the time being. General Sun, the inspection department will receive 50 taels of silver and will be responsible for expanding the number of soldiers in the inspection department to 5000. Is there any problem?"

"My lord, I don't need so much silver."

"You can't think in the old way. The sergeant's salary must be guaranteed. The monthly salary of each sergeant must not be less than five taels. The 50 taels of silver can last for more than half a year."

Sun Yuankun and others looked at Su Tiancheng, speechless, wondering what kind of army they were going to build.

"Arrange for sergeants to go to Kuang Siming's mansion to deliver [-] shi of grain to the inspection department starting tomorrow. , act quickly."

Su Tiancheng was still very excited after not sleeping for a day and a night.

The inspection of Kuang Siming's mansion has achieved unexpected results. Although most of the gold and silver have to be handed over, the remaining property is enough to last for a period of time. Now the biggest problem is to expand the inspection department The sergeant's question, I don't know what the emperor will think, this is a very sensitive issue.

Tang Shiji and Wang Daozhi will never be idle, including guarding the eunuch Wang Zhen, they are about to intervene when such a big incident happened, it is easier to deal with Wang Zhen, and they can fool him by sending some gold and silver treasures, but Tang Shiji It's not so easy to deal with Wang Daozhi.

Sixteen salt merchants were still imprisoned in the prison. After Kuang Siming committed suicide, they were all silent, probably thinking that disaster might be imminent.

But Su Tiancheng would not handle it like this.

The business needs someone to do it, and he has to kill all the chickens and take the eggs. What to do in the future, he must make the most of the remaining salt merchants. Of course, extortion is indispensable.

If you want to do things and get money, you must have a spokesperson, and you must make the best use of merchants. The so-called combination of government and businessmen can achieve a win-win situation, and the economy can develop. The economy of Jiangning County has been developed at the fastest speed. Only when ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment can they do other things.

Qu Qingze had done his best, he didn't ask about the supplies in the 37 carriages, as if he had forgotten, but he dared not hide anything about the gold and silver seized from Kuang Siming's mansion.

The most favorable thing is that Kuang Siming hanged himself, which reassured many officials.

In Su Tiancheng's hand, there is a roster, which is top secret.

This roster contains a list of people related to Kuang Siming, including how much gold and silver they donate every year. They are all clear. No one else saw this roster, so Su Jun handed it to him directly.

The first reaction to get the roster is to destroy it. This roster must not be revealed, otherwise it will cause a new round of chaos, including the capital, the sixth department of Nanjing, Yingtianfu, Shangyuan County, and Jiangning County.

There are ice cubes in the room, which are used to cool down.

This kind of treatment is not something anyone can enjoy. Even Zhu Youjian in the capital, in order to save money, also removed the ice cubes and endured the scorching heat.

Wearing thin underwear, Wang Furong was bathing Su Tiancheng.

Her underwear is almost the same as if she didn't wear it. Through the thin underwear, Miaoman's body can be seen.

In front of the young master, Wang Furong was not shy at all, but these days passed and she had not been able to conceive, she was a little anxious, if she could conceive the young master's flesh and blood, it would be a big difference.

Soaking in the bathtub is very comfortable, but I also feel tired.

After taking a bath, looking at Wang Furong who was profusely sweating, Su Tiancheng's heart moved.

"Fu Rong, let me take a bath for you and see if you are sweating profusely."

Before Wang Furong refused, Su Tiancheng stripped off Wang Furong's underwear, picked up Wang Furong, and put her in the tub.

There is no soap and soap in this era, and saponins and green salt are used for bathing.

Touching Wang Furong's smooth skin, Su Tiancheng suddenly felt a little unreal.

It has been more than a year, and in my mind, I always think of big things, including future development, but I just ignore enjoying life. Also very few.

Wang Furong's face was flushed red, although she had a physical relationship with the young master, it was the first time that the young master served her in this bath, she closed her eyes, enjoying such warmth and happiness, she had been by the young master's side for a long time, She felt the countless advantages of the young master, which were unimaginable before.
