Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 565 Preparations before the war
"How is the investigation of Xingming Chamber of Commerce going?"

When Ye Xun asked this question, there were many servants of the Shen residence beside him.

Cheng Yu is Ye Xun's old comrade-in-arms, and with just one look from Ye Xun, he can make a good guess.

After Ye Xun finished asking, he frowned on purpose and said, "The news is too complicated, and it will take some time to sort it out, but one thing is for sure, that is, they should have a lot of eyeliners in the Central Plains, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, and they should have many business partners."

Speaking of this, he deliberately stopped, looked left and right, and said: "I have something to say with Ye Gonggong, you all go down!"

The servants did not dare to delay, and retreated after saluting one after another.

Ye Xun saw that there was no one around, so he secretly extended his thumb to Cheng Yu. The cooperation was flawless and perfect.

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Is there any problem with this person? If there is a problem, maybe there is something wrong with your father-in-law living here?"

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "His family has a great career, and he dare not do anything to me. It's you, it's been a long time since I saw you, and you've become so thin. Business is important, but you also have to protect your body. If you do this again, I will transfer you back to Beijing."

Cheng Yu was moved in his heart, but smiled and said: "It's not that delicate, the Wei family father and son are gone, and many things have to be sorted out again, that is, I was busy at the beginning, and it will be fine when everything is on the right track."

Ye Xun understood Cheng Yu's character, and knew that he couldn't persuade him. He checked just now, but luckily he didn't feel anything wrong with his body.

"During the Chinese New Year, I have already promised several adults in the court that there will be no troops this year, but the Battle of Ryukyu is imperative, so in terms of logistics and supplies, I'm afraid it will all depend on you Nanjing. How about it? Is there a problem?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "My father-in-law knows that the navy consumes the most money, and the treasury here in Nanjing is full, but I don't know how long this battle will last, and what kind of scale will it be?"

"The sea is vast. Although I want to end the war as soon as possible, it's really hard to say the date. As for the scale!"

"The two treasure ships are going to participate in the battle. There must be more than [-] warships with more than a thousand materials. Of course, these are my initial reservations. The specific number can only be given after General Tian and his sea trials. About [-]!"

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Cheng Yu couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "The cost of mobilizing [-] troops on land is not a small amount, let alone at sea. The annual tax is used, and it may not be enough.”

Ye Xun nodded and said: "After the army goes to sea, they can't rely on land completely. I heard that the Ryukyu country is still very rich. I helped them drive away the pirates. Why is the Ryukyu king so unsympathetic? In addition, you can also bring some goods to the country. ship, and then use the money exchanged as military resources.”

Cheng Yu was amused by Ye Xun's words. This guy is not a person who can suffer. It is estimated that even if he beats off the pirates, the Ryukyu Kingdom will also be wiped out by him. Calculated in this way, there is really no need to worry about military expenses. .

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "Elder-in-law lives at Dongzhu Shen's house, maybe the ulterior motives are not in the bar?"

Ye Xun also laughed. How can I say that he is a good buddy, so I just wanted to go together.

It's not easy for Grandpa Ye to come to Jiangnan, so these rich salt men in Jiangnan should show something!
Ye Xun and Cheng Yu were chatting happily in the front hall, but Shen Changshan in the back house couldn't sit still, because the servants had already told him about Ye Xun's mention of Xingming Chamber of Commerce.

With more than 500 years of experience, even if I dare not say that I have seen through the minds of these ancient merchants, I can guess almost the same.

The Shen family has been operating maritime trade for many years, and has always been in contact with Nanyang, but they have never heard of this organization before.

This Xingming Chamber of Commerce seems to have popped up overnight, and once it appeared, it occupied the Nanyang market very strongly.

How could the Shen family not contact such a chamber of commerce?However, Shen Changshan didn't know that it was Zhu Youjian who sent him away, he only knew that he was a nobleman in Beijing who had to take refuge overseas because he offended Ye Xun.

Based on the principle of many friends and multiple paths, Shen Changshan did a good deed very happily because it was the people from the Xingming Chamber of Commerce who came to ask for it.

What Shen Changshan never expected was that after the person was sent away, the people from the Xingming Chamber of Commerce told him who the person was sent away.

Shen Changshan was terrified at the time, because he also heard the news that Xin Wang died of illness in Beijing, but now he suddenly went out to sea in his family's boat. If this news spread to Ye Xun, he could imagine the consequences with his butt .

The Xingming Chamber of Commerce's move can be said to be too dark, which is tantamount to keeping Shen Changshan's pigtails, making him suffer so much that he can't tell.

Fortunately, after Zhu Youjian was sent away, the people from Xingming Chamber of Commerce never looked for him again, which gradually made him feel relieved.

Even when Ye Xun first arrived, Shen Changshan still imagined that Ye Xun didn't know about it, hoping to get away with it, but he didn't want Ye Xun to know everything already.

This is how to do?
The last time Ye Xun went to the south of the Yangtze River, whether he was dealing with the Salt Gang or Nanjing officials at all levels, he could still vividly remember those methods. If Ye Xun used these methods on the Shen family, it is estimated that the Shen family would be completely defeated.

To become the largest merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Changshan's mind is naturally extremely decisive.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Changshan made the decision to confess to Ye Xun
Turning his gaze to the capital, the Leng family brothers hadn't arrived in the capital yet, but somehow the news of Zhang Ziwen's death came first.

What Ye Xun didn't expect was that someone sent a letter from Zhang Ziwen to Zhang Guoji to his own father Zhang Guotai.

This is not the most amazing thing, the most amazing thing is the content of the letter.

In the letter, Zhang Ziwen overturned all the crimes that Ye Xun had convicted him. Although he did not directly say that Ye Xun wanted to harm him, it is certain that he was framed and framed. He even listed some personal evidence to prove that he did not participate in the crime. Persecution of the people and participation in the White Lotus Sect.

After getting this letter, Zhang Guotai seemed to be crazy. He dragged Zhang Guoji to the palace, and then knelt in front of the palace, begging the queen mother to make decisions for the dead Zhang Ziwen.

This change was beyond everyone's expectations. Coupled with the fact that some people deliberately spread it, all kinds of rumors soon flooded the streets and alleys of the capital, and there was a tendency to spread outward.

Among the various rumors, there is one that spread the most evil, that is, Ye Xun wanted to start a war, but suffered from lack of food and wages, and finally made Zhang Ziwen a scapegoat, and finally had to kill Zhang Ziwen to silence him because the matter was revealed.
You must know that Ye Xun had indeed issued an order to kill Zhang Ziwen before, and this seemed to further confirm the veracity of the rumors.

In the court hall, old Comrade Fang was also very angry, and he brought Zhang Ziwen back to Beijing. This is a happy thing. You, Eunuch Ye, are slapping me in the face, or are you slapping the Queen Mother in the face!
In a fit of anger, Comrade Fang submitted a memorial to the Queen Mother Baozhu to impeach Ye Xun for the first time.
