Chapter 126 suffer
Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng, was indeed a grandson, and he actually got some shoddy molds for Xishan. What’s so bad is that Zhou Kui spent a high price. Because he was in a hurry to use it, Zhou Kui bought it at a price twice as high as on the market.
It is no wonder that Zhou Kui was immediately furious and couldn't help but curse in front of Chongzhen. Chongzhen was not easy to express his opinion on this matter. Zhou Kui was his father-in-law. If he spoke, he would inevitably be considered as a suspicion of being biased towards his own people.
Besides, this is an economic dispute between their ministers, and the emperor is not easy to interfere. Chongzhen just said that: "Since that's the case, you can change a few companies and re-enter some molds."
Zhu Cilang also said, "Yes, grandpa, there are so many iron shops in the capital, why do you have to use them from the Duke of China? Go back and change to a few, and you need to use them with good molds made of fine iron. The surface must be polished so that the glass made of this way will be smooth."
Zhou Kui was still unwilling to accept it: "The 130,000 taels of silver was deceived by this old man! He was too bullied!"
It is your business for Zhou Kui to bully people too much or not. Since glass can really be made, Chongzhen was very happy. He was also very happy to make it. Next, it was to launch mass production and mass production.
Chongzhen originally planned to go to the coal mine to see it, but there were many things in the palace. He gave a few words and took Wang Chengen back to the palace.
As soon as Chongzhen left, Zhou Kui began to curse: "Zhu Chunchen, you are a despicable villain! I am irreconcilable with you, I am incompatible with you!"
"Grandpa, stop scolding. Didn't you tell me, change the ironwork workshop and order a new batch."
Zhou Kui was in tears: "His Prince, you have more than 100,000 taels, where do we have money now?"
Zhu Ciyang was stunned: "No, this, I spent so much money?"
According to Zhu Cixuan's plan, Zhou Kui should have more than 300,000 taels of silver left here. Why did he say he had no money? Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but become suspicious. He would not be able to make fake accounts with his grandfather, so he would fool himself.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Kui was suffering: "My Your Highness, look at the West Mountain, and don't spend money there. Mules and horses alone used more than 200,000 taels of huge amounts, and these ores have to be transported by mules, horses and camels. There is also this coal, although the coal yard is close, it is not up to these beasts. In addition, coal yard mining, craftsmen's wages, food and drink, and everywhere in the mines have to spend money. Prince, you don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. If our glass is not released, the glass factory will be closed."
Zhu Cilang was really not a business man, so he was a little surprised. He was a man who was talking on paper. The plan was enough to build a glass factory for more than one million taels of silver. In fact, it was really difficult to operate.
Zhou Kui was indeed exhausted from the bird eggs, and he could never get a penny from him. However, this mold must be used. Without the mold, the glass, it would not look like it.
Who else can I find to invest? The harem has no money. Chongzhen had no money. Even if he had it, the money from the treasury was used to suppress bandits and military expenditures to operate the imperial court.
"Damn Zhu Chunchen, this guy deserves to die!" Zhu Cilang couldn't help but curse. Seeing that the glass was about to be mass-produced, this incident happened again.
A prince shouldn't be so rude. Especially if you still scold a minister like this, but to Zhou Kui, his grandson was wrong to curse: "That's, Zhu Chunchen, who is raised by a bitch. That's right, he is raised by a bitch."
Zhu Chunchen and Zhu Cixuan suddenly felt aroused in his heart: "Grandpa, how much specific silver did you give him this Duke Cheng?"
"Thirteen seven thousand three hundred taels."
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Okay, I know, I will settle the score with this bastard."
When he went to Liaodong, he had been there for several months. Zhu Cilang gave Luo Yangxing the affairs of the Jinyiwei in the capital to deal with. He asked Luo Yangxing to keep an eye on the officials in the capital, and the Jinyiwei secretly collected evidence of their corruption.
In troubled times, Zhu Cixuan's plan was to kill all these dog officials even if they broke up with these officials and caused the state machine of the Ming Dynasty to shut down, they would have to seize all these dog officials and then plunder their property and enrich the treasury.
Later, the Ming army in Liaodong defeated Jiannu, and Huang Taiji was even more seriously injured. At this time, the Ming Dynasty could finally take a breath and mobilize the whole body. Zhu Cilang did not dare to kill the officials unless he had no choice. Otherwise, this would easily cause a rebound. At that time, the king and his ministers were disunited. When the country hired people, unless the situation forced them, they would not be disheartened by the hearts of the scholars in the world.
After checking so many officials in the Jinyiwei, Zhu Cixuan didn't believe that they could not find out the handle of Zhu Chunchen's corruption and abuse of power. Thinking of this, he wanted to go to the Beizhen Fushi Office to check Zhu Chunchen's files. There must be evidence collected by the Jinyiwei there.
But what is disappointing is that when Zhu Cilang came to the Northern Fushi Office, Luo Yangxing and his life searched for a long time and finally found the files of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen: "Your Highness, the prince, the subordinates sent someone to investigate this person. Duke Cheng Guo has no case of accepting bribes. In the eyes of outsiders, this person is considered honest."
Zhu Ciyang was shocked: "No? How is this guy not walking with other officials?"
Zhu Chunchen's ancestors were Zhu Neng, a famous general. He followed Yan King Zhu Di to fight in the north and south. He was a powerful general at that time. In his early years, Zhu Neng served as the deputy guard of Yanshan, and followed Yan King to conquer Mobei, and was brave and good at fighting. During the Jingnan Campaign, he seized the Nine Gates of Beiping, defeated Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong, and successively captured Ping'an and other famous generals in Lingbi, captured 100,000 Southern Army, and earned a lot of contributions to the left governor of the Left Army Governor's Office, and was granted the title of Duke of Chengguo and became the Prince's Tutor.
After Zhu Neng's death, the Duke of Cheng Kingdom was hereditary by his descendants. Cheng Kingdom Public Hereditary Ninth Generation, Twelve, and Zhu Chunchen was the last one.
A person with such a prominent family background does not seem to be in trouble with other officials to collude with others to plunder the people’s wealth. Originally, Zhu Cilang thought that this dog official would definitely have a handle in the hands of the Jinyiwei. Who knew that after this investigation, Zhu Chunchen was actually very clean.
Should I get him a false charge and take Zhu Chunchen to the imperial prison first and punish him?
Zhu Cilang quickly gave up this idea. He was the Duke of Chengguo and the hero of Jingnan. If he was brought to the imperial prison for false charges, not to mention whether Luo Yangxing had the courage, Chongzhen would be furious when he knew about it.
Isn't it possible to deal with this guy? Zhu Cilang was walking back and forth in the Beizhen Fushiyao with his hands on his back. This Zhu Chunchen was really a bit tricky. This man had no evidence of his crime, had a prominent title, and was deeply trusted by Chongzhen. It was indeed difficult to touch him.
