    This team that went south to make a fortune actually consists of three parts!

    One is the two thousand Guards cavalry led by Cao Ling.

    The second one is the eunuchs of the inner court headed by Li Jinzhong.

    The third one is the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Empire led by Wang Shitou!

    The Guards cavalry led by Cao Ling were there to declare force, the eunuchs led by Li Jinzhong were there to deliver orders and plunder wealth, but only the fifty carts led by Wang Shitou were there to do business!

    This so-called business is to use the opened and closed Yue Port to get the name of the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Empire out, and make merchants all over the world go crazy for the goods of the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Empire!

    In order to achieve this effect, the fifty carts brought by Wang Shitou were all filled with glass mirrors and glassware, and these were only part of the goods to be sold by the Royal Commercial House this time!

    Now there are official kiln fine porcelain from Jingdezhen, silk woven from Suzhou, and large quantities of tea being transported to Yuegang. It can be said that the Royal Merchant House will shock the whole world when it makes a move this time!

    However, this team going south didn¡¯t seem to be in a hurry. They entered Shandong slowly and then headed all the way to Qufu!

    That¡¯s right!

    The first imperial edict that Li Jinzhong will read out is to the Confucius family in Qufu. Since the Confucius family was named Yanshenggong in the Northern Song Dynasty, after nearly a thousand years, the Confucian Yanshenggong has been passed down for sixty-three generations!

    The contemporary Duke Yan Shengxian is called Kong Shangxian. He succeeded Duke Yan Shengxian in the 15th year of Jiajing. It has been almost fifty years now. Now Kong Shangxian is over seventy, but he has no son. Therefore, the next Duke Yan Shengxian of the Kong family can only be appointed by  Kong Yin-sik, the son of Kong Sang-hyun¡¯s younger brother, succeeded him!

    Sitting in the carriage, Li Jinzhong took the secret report from Dongchang, which clearly recorded the properties and merchants of the Confucius family, and also recorded many criminal evidence of the Confucius children committing adultery and crimes.

    But these are not important to Li Jinzhong. What matters most to him is that Duke Yan Sheng is no longer alive. It can be said that it is a matter of one day or another. Now Kong Yinzhi has made the final decision on the affairs of the Kong family!

    But although Kong Yinzhi was promoted by the Kong family to take charge, whether to confer Yanshenggong or not was a matter for the imperial court. Zhu Youxiao sent Li Jinzhong to come to the Kong family at this juncture this time, just to give the Kong family a good bloodletting!

    As a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao has a bad impression of the Kong family, because the Kong family has done too many things that have failed the country and the nation for thousands of years. For the continuation of their own family, the Kong family simply kowtows to whoever is strong, and even wins.  He has been a slave for seventy-two generations and a minister for twenty-five dynasties!

    Not to mention that in the original history, when Li Zicheng approached Beijing, the Kong family immediately pledged allegiance to Dashun. When the Manchus approached Beijing, they immediately pledged allegiance to the Manchus and even took the lead in shaving their hair to change their clothes!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Kong Family actually invited the British King's portrait into the Confucius Mansion to enshrine it, and also took the initiative to show their goodwill to Little Japan. Adding up these things, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Kong Family was directly thrown into the abyss!

    However, Zhu Youxiao is limited by historical conditions and cannot demolish the Kong family store now. However, the inability to demolish the store does not mean that he cannot extort money. Therefore, what Zhu Youxiao has to do is to cause the Kong family to bleed a lot and become a big killer.  Get ahead!

    As the number one vicious dog under Zhu Youxiao, Li Jinzhong had already figured out Zhu Youxiao¡¯s thoughts, and he also thought clearly about what to do and to what extent he should achieve it!

    When the team arrived in Qufu, Li Jinzhong did not see anyone from the Confucius family at all. Instead, he visited Confucius¡¯s mausoleum according to the etiquette and paid a visit to the Confucius Temple. At the Confucius Temple, he read out the memorial text of the current emperor Zhu Youxiao to the most holy teacher!

    Of course, the content of this memorial text was not written by Zhu Youxiao, but was ghostwritten by Liu Yishen, the second assistant of the dynasty. The memorial text affirmed the achievements of Confucius and at the same time promoted the contribution of Confucianism to the Chinese nation.

    And for the first time, it was proposed that Confucianism is the foundation of the nation, and the Confucius family, as the guardians of Confucius Mausoleum and Confucius Temple, cannot do anything to insult the most holy teacher or betray the nation!

    After the worship was over, Kong Yinzhi, who had been waiting in fear for a long time, finally saw the superior Li Jinzhong in front of the gate of the Confucius Temple!

    Kong Yinzhi, courtesy name Maojia, was born in the 20th year of Wanli, that is, 1592. As the 64th generation of Yanshenggong, he also left a dirty mark in history. He first voted for Li Zicheng, and then for Man.  Qing, he was the one who took the lead in shaving his hair and changing his clothes.

    Moreover, decades after Kong Yinzhi's death, because Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the Kong family also changed Kong Yinzhi's name. Because the character Yin of Kong Yinzhi was the same as that of Emperor Yongzheng Yinzhen, so in order to avoid the emperor's name taboo  , the Kong family directly changed Kong Yinzhi's name to Kong Yanzhi.

    In fact, this is not just a matter of the Kong family. Although the Qing Dynasty was controlled by foreigners in the Central Plains, for theseThings that are taboo are taken very seriously. No matter who becomes the emperor, all brothers of the same generation will have to change their names to avoid the taboo of being named emperor!

    This was different in the Ming Dynasty. Not only did the royal family not have to go through such trouble, but also for the convenience of the common people, many characters in the names of the Zhu family's royal family were made up. They were based on the order of the Zhu family's naming of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and then  Add a homophone, and the result is the periodic table of chemical elements for later generations!

    But that was what happened in the original history. Now Kong Yinzhi is only twenty-eight years old, and his uncle has not yet died, so although he is in charge of the food of the Kong family, he is not yet Yanshenggong, but in the Kong family like this  Trained by a thousand-year-old family, he showed a composure beyond his years!

    But even so, Kong Yinzhi was still uneasy at this time. The new king sent people to visit his ancestors for the first time after taking the throne. Not only did he send two thousand cavalry, but the imperial envoy also didn¡¯t see anyone from the Kong family. This was not a good sign!

    Although Kong Yinzhi did not believe that the current little emperor who dared to do anything dared to do anything to the Kong family, the sense of crisis always lingered in his heart, as if some disaster was going to befall the Kong family this time!

    So when he saw Li Jinzhong, Kong Yinzhi did not put on any airs, but quickly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Eunuch Li is coming from afar. Maojia has prepared a banquet to wash away the dust of Eunuch Li, and I also ask Eunuch Li to honor him."  !¡±

    Li Jinzhong glanced at Kong Yinzhi and said lightly: "Young Master, please stay, while the others are waiting a hundred steps away!"

    Before Li Jinzhong finished speaking, Dongchang Fanzi, who was accompanying him, had already driven the Kong family a hundred steps away with an expressionless face. Although everyone in the Kong family was dissatisfied, at this juncture, no one dared to  Fuzz and thorns!

    Seeing that everyone was being driven away, Li Jinzhong smiled at Kong Yinzhi and hugged his fists: "Young Master is polite, but the things your Majesty told you have not been completed yet. Our family dare not disturb the house.  Otherwise, the cannibal has a short mouth and the taker has a short hand, and His Majesty¡¯s errand will be difficult to handle!¡±

    After hearing this, Kong Yinzhi's heart suddenly pounded. He looked at Li Jinzhong's gloomy face and asked with difficulty: "I wonder if there is anything else that the Holy One wants to tell the Kong family? Please make it clear, Eunuch Li, I will certainly not  You have failed to live up to the trust entrusted by the Holy One!"

    Li Jinzhong showed a satisfied smile at this time, took out a tie from his sleeve and gave it to Kong Yinzhi, and said at the same time: "This is the property and merchants of the Kong family recorded in Dongchang. Let's see if there are any omissions."  ?¡±

    Kong Yinzhi took the zhazi suspiciously and unfolded it. The sweat on his face suddenly fell. It clearly stated how much tax-free land the Kong family should have, how much land they had accepted as donations, and how much land they had occupied.  There are also many merchants named under the name of servants, as well as evidence of crimes committed by some children of the Confucius family!

    Although he only glanced at it roughly, the sweat on Kong Yinzhi's head hit the ground. He didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his head, but closed the tie cautiously!

    He asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Eunuch Li, what does the Holy One mean?"

    Li Jinzhong pulled the knot back unceremoniously, and said in a cold and contemptuous tone: "What your Majesty means is that the most holy teacher passed down his benevolence to the world, especially focusing on agriculture and neglecting business, but the children of the Confucius family  Such unfilial piety not only accepts donations from ignorant people, openly defies the imperial tax laws, but even relies on power to seize people's fields. The most intolerable thing is that the dignified Confucius family actually condones their disciples to engage in despicable businesses. This is really an insult to the saint's family.  , after His Majesty knew these things, he even smashed his beloved glass cup!"

    Kong Yinzhi became less panicked when he heard that Li Jinzhong made the Confucian family's crimes so serious. He knew very well that the Ming Dynasty must keep the name Confucius, and the Confucius family would never be doomed.

    If this Li Jinzhong just found some minor faults, he would probably have to spend a lot of money, and he might even have to bring in a few of his disciples to work for him. But the crime Li Jinzhong committed against the Kong family was so serious that it could even be said that the whole family was executed.  Not an exaggeration.

    But will the current emperor, the Ming Dynasty, and the scholars in the world let the Confucius family disappear?

    The answer is definitely no!
