Chapter 272 The gentry betrayed the water and stabbed the feudal king in the back! Times have changed! (fourth more)

  Zhang Dai, one of the sons of the eastern Zhejiang gentry, also laughed at this time, and said: "His Royal Highness, you are so funny, who wants to join forces with you! We Eastern Zhejiang gentry don't want to be wiped out!"

  Zhang Dai's second uncle Tao Chongdao also said at this time: "We strongly invite you to persuade or threaten the merchants together, but it is just to deceive you so that we can capture you alive and contribute to the court!"

  Shang Zhouzuo followed and said, "Rescue the dog by the way!"

  Zhang Dai also continued to say to King Yi: "But you, a man of great ambition and incompetence, really think that our eastern Zhejiang gentry will rebel against you because of the politicians who share the land. You are really stupid!"

  Puff!

  Puff!

   At this time, all the guards and followers brought by King Yi were also killed.

  King Yi heard what Zhang Dai said and saw this scene again, and he realized it for a while, and asked in confusion: "This is impossible! Don't you care about your own land? Ah!"

At this time, Shang Zhouzuo went to King Yi and replied: "For the sake of the common people, donating the ancestral land can be regarded as accumulating great merit! It can bless the descendants. The ancestors have knowledge in Jiuquan, and they must also approve of what we do for the country and the people. Great good deeds, accumulating such great merit for future generations. Why do you care about it!"

   "Fart! The land is gone, how can you bless your descendants! Don't use these big words to slander Gu! Why are you teasing Gu in this way? Let Gu Si understand!"

   King Yi cursed loudly, then shouted again.

At this moment, Zhang Dai could only say: "Forget it, let me, a young descendant of the eastern Zhejiang gentry, tell you that Uncle Guo has signed a contract with our eastern Zhejiang gentry, and Xichang City Yisi will buy money from our Zhejiang gentry every year. The eastern gentry purchased raw silk worth more than 20 million taels of silver, which will be used to seize the overseas raw silk market when the Huben army expands overseas. However, our eastern Zhejiang gentry needs to increase the production of raw silk to 30% more than that of Tianqi in three years. You said, if we don’t distribute the land to mulberry farmers for self-planting and increase their enthusiasm, can the yield be increased?”

   "In a word, you Jiangxi gentry need land, but we Zhejiang gentry may not need land! What we need are bigger buyers of raw silk!"

  Zhang Dai continued.

  In fact, since Zhang Gui established the West Factory to operate global trade and improved textile technology, times have begun to change!

After the appearance of the spinning jenny and the flying shuttle loom, Zhang Gui, in order to occupy the global market as soon as possible for these mass-produced high-quality and cheap cloth, has long chosen the eastern Zhejiang gentry, which is rich in silk production, to cooperate with his western factory. Make it your raw silk supplier instead of supplying to overseas weavers.

  And these Eastern Zhejiang gentry are willing to choose to cooperate with Xichang for greater benefit, regardless of whether Zhang Gui of Xichang will cause a large number of overseas weavers to go bankrupt and Susong weavers to go bankrupt.

  Because of the technological revolution in the textile industry, times have changed, but because of Zhang Gui, the gentry in eastern Zhejiang began to support the equalization of land and the liberation of serfs into self-cultivated farmers, and they, big landlords, were willing to transform into big merchants.

   After all, it is tens of millions of taels of interest, which is much higher than the land income.

  King Yi was also quite shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect the real situation in Zhejiang to become like this, so he couldn't help saying: "You guys, you are emphasizing agriculture and commerce, and you are violating the hadith!"

"Don't say such sarcastic remarks! If it weren't for the fact that Xichang cracked down on smuggling and smuggled customs, it cut off the wealth of paying taxes to you for a large number of smuggled goods passing through Fujian to Jiangxi to the capital, Jiangnan, Huguang, Sichuan and other places. Lu, are you thinking of rebelling?"

   Zhang Dai said.

   "There's no need to tell him, now Uncle Guo has gone south, send him to Uncle Guo, and Uncle Guo will **** him to Beijing."

   Tao Chongdao said at this time.

  Shang Zhouzuo also said: "What Tao Gong said is very true. Without King Yi in Jiangxi, those evil gentry and powerful Jiangxi who want to rebel will have no leader. Naturally, there will be no big waves."

  Therefore, Zhang Dai began to order other children of the eastern Zhejiang gentry to tie up King Yi with a rope.

   King Yi asked in great surprise: "Zhang Gui has gone south? Shouldn't he be extremely depressed by the poisoning of the crown prince now?!"

"Just so you know, the prince exposed you and left a suicide note, saying that he would rather die than poison the prince for you. In addition, the rebel Wang Duo was also captured. What he did for you in Beijing , and the court knows about it.”

  Zhang Dai continued.

King Yi couldn't help opening his mouth even wider. He didn't feel relieved for a long time, and then changed into a crying expression: "You sages! Can you let Gu go, can you not let Uncle Zhang Guojie send Gu Jie to Beijing. If Gu is If you are sent to the capital, His Majesty will kill me, maybe even cut me up. You don’t want to see your own father commit cruel and inhumane things like murdering the clan’s family, right?”

  Shang Zhouzuo, Tao Chongdao and other gentry in eastern Zhejiang looked at each other.

  King Yi saw this and continued to plead: "As long as you are willing, Gu is willing to give out five million taels to redeem yourself. Then you will say that Gu has come to Zhejiang. How about it?"

   "No way! Xichang's eyeliner is everywhere. Even though you Yiwang came here under a pseudonym, there is no guarantee that you will not be discovered. We can't give up more than 20 million taels of profit every year just because of you Yiwang!"

   Zhang Dai said.

  Other eastern Zhejiang gentry thought about it and thought it was very good, and they all agreed that they couldn't let it go.

King Yi was speechless, and cursed secretly: "Okay, Uncle Zhang Guo, why are you so generous! First, you used more than 20 million taels to buy off these gentry in eastern Zhejiang, and now you are so lonely that you have finally generously handed over 5 million taels." It's too shabby to redeem yourself twice! No wonder, after you gain power in front of the emperor, you will first attack the right to smuggle overseas and collect taxes overseas! Damn you, you obviously don't care about domestic interests, you Why are you so shrewd, you know how great Haili is!"

  Zhang Gui did not plan to be involved in the domestic war for Wei Zhongxian and others who were in charge of the East Factory at the beginning, but wanted to use the power given to him by the apocalypse and the expanded army to directly go overseas for development.

  So, now he can directly buy some powerful gentry with profits from overseas markets, such as these eastern Zhejiang gentry.

The key point is that Zhang Gui also has a direct eye on the world, so he makes a big deal when he makes a move. Naturally, the little money that Yiwang can only make in the country by illegally collecting taxes, illegally merging land, and illegally lending money cannot compare with Xichang. .

   "The Fuyuan is here!"

  But at this time, suddenly many officers and soldiers lined up and ran, and surrounded the outside, and many guards of honor began to appear.

   Fuyuan means governor.

  Because the governor is usually the governor of the capital or the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is often called Fuyuan.

   Shang Zhouzuo, Tao Chongdao and other eastern Zhejiang gentry were surprised for a while, because they did not expect Zhejiang governor Zhang Yandeng to come.

   But now, they have no choice but to come out to greet each other: "I've seen Fuyuan!"

  As soon as the sedan chair of Zhang Yandeng, the current governor of Zhejiang, stopped, he said in the sedan chair: "This court heard that a person pretending to be King Yi appeared in Zhejiang and was captured by the princes and villagers. Is there such a thing?"

  Shang Zhouzuo, Tao Chongdao, Zhang Dai and other nobles in eastern Zhejiang felt bad when they heard Zhang Yandeng say that King Yi was a fake.

Zhang Dai couldn't help but whispered to Shang Zhouzuo: "Shang Weng, I'm afraid this Fuyuan deliberately ruined our affairs! He said that King Yi is a fake King Yi at this time, maybe he wanted to take King Yi away instead of letting us Hand over King Yi to Uncle Guo! If he just wants to grab the merits, it’s fine, I’m afraid he has other thoughts, such as secretly letting King Yi go, and the fake King Yi died suddenly, so that King Yi can continue to return Jiangxi is causing chaos!"

  Shang Zhou Zuo nodded: "It's possible!"

  As soon as Zhang Dai finished speaking, the governor of Zhejiang, Zhang Yandeng, said as expected: "Now this court orders you to hand over the fake Yi Wang! This court will make credit for you in the memorial."

Shang Zhouzuo stood up at this time and said: "Fu Yuanrong, this is the real king, not the fake king. In addition, we are the evidence that King Yi plotted to destroy my merchants and threatened the entire gentry in eastern Zhejiang to join him in rebellion. According to the "Da Gao", we have the right to send him to Beijing, and the government at all levels has no right to intervene."

   "Huh! This court is on behalf of the emperor to patrol the region, not a local government, and has the right to intervene! Besides, where is there any true benefit king in Zhejiang, it is clearly a fake Yi king, you don't have to fool this court here!"

  As Zhang Yandeng spoke, he yelled sharply: "You must hand over the fake Yi Wang now, otherwise, this court will use your disobedience as an excuse, and ask the king to order the banner family to punish you!"

  Shang Zhouzuo and others didn't know what to say for a while.

   After all, Zhang Yandeng does represent the imperial court now.

   "Do you want to pay it?"

  A gentry from eastern Zhejiang asked a question at this time.

  Wang Yi also laughed at this moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Old Zhang, Gu didn't befriend you in vain, you save Gu out of here! Gu will never stop you from transporting goods to Jiangxi!"

  Zhang Yandeng ignored it, and continued to ask Shang Zhouzuo in a sharp voice: "Shang Gong, after all, you are also a person who was once the chief minister of Da Sima Otsuka, so don't you want to be so disobedient?!"

   "The supervisor is here!"

  At this moment, a gong sounded outside.

   Immediately, more capable officers and soldiers appeared on the outskirts, and surrounded all the officers and soldiers in the Governor's Yamen of Zhejiang.

   Continue to explode today
