- As soon as Liu Jin came up, he operated on Yin Zhou Weilai of Yingtian Mansion and killed the chicken to show to the Jiangnan officials present.
There was a sudden silence on the scene, and many officials did not dare to take a breath for fear of hitting Liu Jin's knife edge.
Everyone is very familiar with Liu Jin.
For a long time, the person Shilin in Jiangnan wanted to bring down the most was actually Liu Jin, so he was naturally the most familiar with Liu Jin.
This leader has an extremely bad rapport with the officials from Jiangnan, and he has probably been looking for an opportunity to severely suppress the officials from Jiangnan for a long time.
Now that the opportunity has finally come, how could Liu Jin let go of such a good opportunity?
"Luo Xi, the Censor of Jiangnan River~"
Seeing Zhou Wei being pushed down, Liu Jin read out another name.
"The official is here~"
When Luo Xi heard this, his face turned pale with fear.
He is very aware of the things he has done. Even without the incident in Nanjing, he, Luo Xi, took advantage of his position to embezzle and accept countless bribes. This alone is enough to make him lose his head.
What's more, he, Luo Xidu, has regarded the flower boat on the Qinhuai River as his official office. Everyone in the whole Jiangnan knows about his romantic and suave affairs.
In addition, he is in charge of the Yangtze River, the canal, and the ports of many coastal and riverside cities. The interests involved are really too great. In this position, he often makes profits for the family and power behind him. Secretly supported and done many shameful things.
Now that Liu Jin called out his name, he immediately kept thinking about everything he had done in his mind.
"Luo Xi, do you know your guilt?"
Liu Jin looked at Luo Xi coldly.
He is a typical official who uses power for personal gain. He uses his power to target all commercial firms that want to do business in the Yangtze River, canals and ports such as Nanjing and Songhu, especially those involving transportation.
Without the consent of Lord Luo Xilao, there is no way to do business on the water in this area.
The shipping companies of the Ming Dynasty, large and small, can travel across the four seas, but they cannot get involved in the business of the Yangtze River and the canal.
The Yangtze River is the most important river in the Ming Dynasty, especially the southern section of Zhili, which is the estuary of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There are countless ships sailing on it at all times, traveling from east to west, south to north, and freight is extremely busy. .
Coupled with canals and ports, it can be said that half of the entire Ming Dynasty¡¯s economy relied on the Yangtze River transportation and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the port of Songhu was the most important port in the Ming Dynasty.
I am afraid no one knows how huge the interests involved in controlling such an important river transportation are.
"I have always been loyal to my duties, self-denial and dedicated to the public. I dare not betray the emperor's trust and the imperial court has placed great trust in me. I really don't know what crime I have committed, so that when Liu Gong comes, I will have an operation?"
Luo Xi has a tough mouth and looks righteous.
"Very good~"
"You are still loyal to your duties, self-denying and dedicated to the public, and you have a breeze on your sleeves~"
"Your loyal duty is on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River. Your yamen has already been moved to the flower boat, and you are still fulfilling your duty."
"As for being self-denial and serving the public, you don't even blush when you say it."
"Let's not talk about where you spent the money on the flower boat. In Songhu and Nanjing alone, you have a total of 350 properties, more than 50 shops, and three plantations in Nanyang. In addition, there are various The stock price is at least over two million taels of silver."
"And your family, the Luo family, holds the jurisdiction over the Yangtze River, canals and ports because you are the censor of river transportation. You have established river transportation and shipping companies to monopolize the transportation of goods in the Yangtze River Basin and make profits from it."
"Even the year before last, in order to attack your competitors, you, the river transport censor, used your power to deliberately investigate and deal with other river transport companies again and again."
Liu Jin told Luo Xi¡¯s story as if he were familiar with his family¡¯s treasures.
"Ah~"
When Luo Xi heard this, his jaw dropped immediately. Liu Jin seemed to have investigated him too clearly. He himself did not necessarily know how much real estate he owned or how much money his stocks were worth.
But Liu Jin found out everything clearly, even better than himself. This is really incredible.
"Humph~"
"As a court official, guarding the shepherd's side for the emperor, he actually took bribes and perverted the law, used his power for personal gain, and monopolized the river transport business."
"Come on, take off his official hat"??Take off his official uniform and put him in jail! "
Liu Jin was too lazy to look at this kind of person again. In later generations, there were many such officials. As the saying goes, the father is an official and the son is a businessman. As long as his father is still in his position, all of them are elites in the business world. But once they fall, they will immediately I can't survive anymore.
"Liu Jin, you also have a lot of property under your command. The money you earn every year is calculated in hundreds of millions. When it comes to using power for personal gain and monopolizing business, the first one should be you Liu Jin. I am just learning from you."
Luo Xi struggled and shouted with all his strength.
"Okay~"
¡°I have many industries under my command, but I have never used my authority to seek personal gain for my own industry, I have not suppressed competitors, nor have I monopolized, and I have never made it difficult for other people entering the industry.¡±
"If your family operates normally and competes reasonably, I won't say anything."
"But your Luo family's Yangtze River shipping company also transports a ship of goods. The price of your company's company is several times that of other places. And if you want to do business on the Yangtze River, you must hand over a certain share of the goods to your company. The trading company will transport it, am I right?¡±
"Out of the Yangtze River, can your business firm do a boatload of business?"
Liu Jin stopped the soldiers dragging him down and replied.
Luo Xi is actually a typical salt merchant. He uses his power to conduct monopoly transactions. He is not trying to improve shipping technology or reduce transportation costs to gain competitive advantage.
Rather, it is a very simple and crude way to use the power in hand to conduct monopoly transactions. Monopoly naturally brings huge profits. In fact, it is all about things without any technical skills, and it hinders the normal and orderly survival of other businesses.
The same was true for the salt merchants in the past. They took the salt field into their own hands, and all the salt coming out of the salt field was under their control. At the same time, they strictly required the court to implement the salt and iron monopoly and not allow everyone to do this business. In this way, Let those salt merchants become rich enough to rival the country.
The principles are the same and the methods are the same.
"I, I am not like you Liu Jin, I have strong capital and can do anything. I can only rely on this method to start a business."
Luo Xi suddenly had nothing to say and could only defend himself in this way.
"Humph~"
"Pull it down, seal up the Yangtze River Shipping Company, and seal up the Luo family!"
Liu Jin looked at the other party and sneered, and ordered again.
"Liu Jin, Liu Jin, you won't end well either~"
Luo Xi roared angrily while being dragged down.
Zhou Wei and Luo Xi were dealt with, and all the officials at the scene were in panic.
In the land of Jiangnan, there are too many things like Luo Xi.
Almost every official is using the power in his hands to seek benefits for the family and forces behind him.
The officials in charge of Hedao used their power to obtain the monopoly business of Hedao for the families behind them.
The official in charge of a state or a government provides a monopoly for his family's business in the state. Those who have tea will monopolize tea, and those who produce grain will monopolize grain production and sales.
The entire Jiangnan area, all walks of life, and all fields are almost monopolized by large and small families, gentry, big businessmen, etc., and outsiders cannot get in at all.
It is simply impossible for capitalists in the north to do business in the south. If you have money and want to set up a factory here, it will be difficult to get land. Even if you have land, it will be difficult to recruit workers. It is difficult for workers to buy raw materials, and it is even difficult to transport goods.
This is the situation in Jiangnan.
The entire Jiangnan is like an extremely solid ice layer, blocking everything tightly. All interests are monopolized by large and small families, gentry, and big businessmen.
Relying on monopoly to seek huge profits, they will not pursue technological innovation, innovation, cost reduction, etc.
The only thing they need to do is to continue to cultivate more children of their own family to study and become officials. In this way, they can gain more power, monopolize and control more businesses, and then give it back to their own family. , to build private schools and academies, to train more children to take the imperial examinations and become officials.
Liu Jin knows very well that under such a model, the entire society is like a pool of stagnant water, without vitality and without progress. China's backwardness in history actually stems from this.
The traditional eight-part imperial examination limits people's ability to innovate to the greatest extent, and tightly binds the smartest and most powerful people to the game of eight-part essay. Generation after generation is just repeating yesterday's stories. There is always no progress and development.
In the end, as the annexation of land and resources becomes more and more concentrated, it becomes increasingly difficult for the people at the bottom to survive. As long as there is a slight famine, war will break out again and dynasties will change.
Therefore, it is necessary to break these monopoly businesses, break this stagnant water, and completely liberate the Jiangnan area, the richest and most populous area in the Ming Dynasty, so that the entire Ming Dynasty will usher in a moment of truly rapid development.
