Zhou Zheng went to find Tian Zhenshu, and the two of them were in the Censorate, while walking while talking about something.

Tian Zhenshu whispered: "Recently, the relationship between the two adults and the eunuch party is very tense, and the officials have arranged for many people to enter the Censorate."

Cao Sicheng and Cao Yubian openly stabbed Wei Zhongxian in the court. Even if Wei Zhongxian can't deal with them now, other eunuchs will naturally have to do something.

Cui Chengxiu was originally the left censor of the Censorate. It would not be too easy for him to mix sand in the Censorate.

Zhou Zheng looked at the familiar unfamiliar environment of the Censorate and said, "Is Er Cao attacked so hard recently?"

Tian Zhen said: "The government and the country are impeached. I heard that the Jinyiwei is looking for evidence and will send them to the imperial prison at any time."

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly. It would be fine to arrest ordinary people and go to the imperial prison, but it would be impossible for a Zuodu Censor to nod without Tianqi.

"Either you see something or someone has instructed me." Zhou Zhengdao.

Tian Zhenshu glanced at Zhou Zheng, and this was the second time that Zhou Zheng had vaguely pointed him out.

Tian Zhenshu didn't know what Zhou Zheng knew, so he didn't ask, and said, "You must be careful recently..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Zheng stopped walking because there was a group of people in front of them, and the one surrounded by Zhou Zheng was still Zhou Zheng's old acquaintance.

The people surrounded by people saw Zhou Zheng, and were stunned, and walked over with a loud voice: "Haha, Censor Zhou, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Zhou Zheng looked at his official uniform, his expression changed slightly, and then said, "Congratulations."

The man looked proud and walked closer. His smile suddenly disappeared, and his eyes looked resentful and said in a faint look: "Censor Zhou, can't he behave the courtesy when he sees me?"

Liu Benxi, the censor of Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, was originally called brothers and brothers with Zhou Zheng. Later, he suspected that Zhou Zheng had destroyed his promotion and repeatedly set up a situation to frame Zhou Zheng. It had disappeared for a while, but unexpectedly it suddenly appeared again.

His official uniform is the official uniform of the Censor, but it is from Fujian Dao! Judging from the expressions of others, he should be promoted to the chief officer of Fujian Dao.

Tian Zhenshu looked at Liu Benxi with a cold look on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Did Yushi Liu get something wrong? You are the seventh rank, and I am also the seventh rank, you belong to Fujian Dao, and I am the Zhejiang Dao. I don't know why I want to salute you?"

Liu Benxi sneered, stared at Zhou Zheng's face, and said, "I hate it when I see your face! I will make you arrogant for a while first. I know your affairs the most clearly. Wait for me, and I will seal your shop immediately and catch your people. I see how you can do to me!"

In the eyes of many people, Zhou Zheng’s biggest reliance is Wei Xizhuang. Now that Wei Xizhuang has been imprisoned, Zhou Zheng is just bare, so isn’t he kneading at will?

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a ferocious look, sneered, and said, "Did you forget the lesson you learned last time?"

Liu Benxi's expression suddenly became even more ugly, his face twitched, and he said gloomy: "Then just wait for me!"

After Liu Benxi finished speaking, he glanced at Tian Zhenshu and strode away.

When Liu Benxi left, Tian Zhenshu whispered: "He is one of the people who urged the officials to come."

Zhou Zheng suddenly realized and said, "I said why he is so arrogant? It turns out that he is relying on Choi Chengxiu."

"Be careful." Tian Zhenshu said, this was the second time Tian Zhenshu said.

Zhou Zheng nodded and nodded understandingly.

The two adults from the Censorate had a rift with the eunuch party. Now the eunuch party is fighting back. This is a fight between gods and immortals. These little minions may be crushed into pieces at any time and have no power to resist.

Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu chatted for a while, arranged the matter of Yao Tongshun, and then left the Censorate.

Zhou Zheng returned to Zhou Ji and Cheng Economics, Shangguan Xun was already waiting.

On the second floor, Zhou Zheng sat on his chair, Cheng Jing said with a smile: "The boss, the factory has been expanded and there are enough manpower, which should be able to meet the needs of the salt merchants."

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup in his hand and continued.

Chengjin's recent work has made great progress, and he said with excitement: "Our weekly diary's goods are very easy to sell in Beijing. The dentistry is still asking for purchases. They have also started selling them outside the Beijing. Each order is a big order, especially to Jiangnan..."

"I have a good talk with the Chamber of Commerce in Taiyuan. They bought it well, and are preparing to expand their sales network. They also hope to set up a factory in Taiyuan because our goods cannot keep up with their sales..."

"Our boss, in the first half of the year, our net profit was 110,000, which does not include salt merchants. In the second half of the year, I am confident that I will double it!"

Zhou Zheng kept listening with a smile, without comment, and waited for Cheng Jin to finish speaking, and looked at Shangguan Xun.

Shangguan Xun is much more economically stable than Cheng. He looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Boss, I have already formed a salt shop and put it in the name of a friend. At present, I have negotiated with thirty shops of all sizes and big and small to let them sell our salt and our weekly diary products on behalf of others. It is expected to open in the middle of the month..."

"According to the boss's intention, I am in contact with the capital and Shuntian Mansion. I am preparing to negotiate a hundred stores like this, 500,000 stones, and strive to sell out within half a year. At the same time, I will also sell our weekly diary goods and build a stable sales network..."

"In addition, I also set up a tea shop to sell tea from the tea shops I got from the salt merchant..."

Zhou Zheng listened and nodded slightly.

With the huge benefits obtained from the salt merchants, Zhou Zheng's business scale is rapidly expanding and expanding, and is no longer limited to the capital.

Except for Zhou Ji, who was named Liu Liuzhe, the others were placed under the Zhou family and the servants. In addition to the salt shop, tea shop, they also planned porcelain, silk, etc.

The business empire that Zhou Zheng expected in his heart had a clue!

Zhou Zheng was excited and said calmly: "Well, we are in a hurry to develop. The more we are at this time, the more stable we need to maintain growth, and we must lay a solid foundation. We cannot fall down with just one step, so it will be difficult to get up again."

Chengjin, Shangguan Xun and others nodded with excitement, and they were also looking forward to the future.

Zhou Zheng looked at them and thought that he had to explain, saying, "Old Wei will go in temporarily and will come out soon. Just like before, you will take refuge, don't worry. In addition, the government and the country have been in turmoil recently. You all know that if you are careful, I will probably have many people to make up our minds."

Cheng Jin not only did not feel nervous, but instead sneered, saying, "Don't worry, boss, our weekly diary is no longer the same as before! It has to do with us, and I don't know how many officials of all sizes are good for us. If something happens to us, we will naturally have someone to stand up if we don't have to come forward."

Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly different, but he didn't expect it and said, "Okay, you can write a complete plan for me. Also, which officials are related to us, please make a list for me. I have a good idea."

Cheng Jin hurriedly said: "It's the boss."

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Xun and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Shangguan Qing for a while. Just as he was about to ask, Liu Liuzhe suddenly came up quickly and glanced at Cheng Jin and Shangguan Xun with a conspicuous look on his face. He approached Zhou Zheng, handed over a package, and whispered: "Second Young Master, someone has sent it."

Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Liuzhe's expression and took it to open it. It was a box with a seal on the box, with only one word: Tian.

This is something that Tian Ergeng sent to you, enough to defeat Cui Chengxiu!

Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged. He looked up at Cheng Jin and Shangguan Xun and said, "I'll be here today. If you have any questions, come to Zhou Ji to find me."

Chengjin, Shangguan Xun saw that Zhou Zheng had something to do, and raised his hand and said, "It's the boss, we'll leave first."

Zhou Zheng watched them leave, tear open the seal and open the box.

There are stacks of official documents and letters, and there are dozens of letters.

Zhou Zheng looked at it, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said to Liu Liuzhe, "Watch downstairs and guard no one can come up."

Liu Liuzhe immediately knew that the matter was serious, nodded and said in a stern manner: "Don't worry, second young master."

After Liu Liuzhe went downstairs, Zhou Zhengcai reached out and picked up the letter from the top in the box.

The letter has been opened, and I don’t know how many people have read it. Zhou Zheng took it out and read it carefully.

This is a letter of ventilation. The court investigated Cui Chengxiu's in-laws two years ago. Cui Chengxiu wrote this letter, but the in-laws were arrested and imprisoned. The letter fell into Tian Ergeng's hands.

"It's a handle." Zhou Zheng said to himself, but it was not enough.

Zhou Zheng picked up another letter, which was a "spoils-sharing letter". The Yellow River broke its dam the year before yesterday, and the court allocated 800,000 taels of river control. Due to the uneven distribution of spoils underneath, Cui Chengxiu's letter was to guide them in how to divide it.

From this letter, we can infer that 800,000 taels and 70,000 taels were added to Cui Chengxiu's pocket, and 50,000 in the hands of the Ministry of Works. 300,000 was divided by the people below. As for how much they could be left on the river management, no one probably knew, but it was definitely small.

Zhou Zheng looked at the letter for a while and put it aside.

I picked up one again, which was a half public and half private letter about the construction of Wei Zhongxian's temple in Henan. The Henan governor's letter to Cui Chengxiu said that 18 were built and the gentry donated 1.2 million taels, and it also hinted that 100,000 taels would be sent to Cui Chengxiu.

This is both a document that seeks credit and a private message for bribery.

"Interesting." Zhou Zheng looked at the letter and whispered to himself.

The fourth letter is a "official seller". This is not Cui Chengxiu's, but his younger brother's.

There are many fertilizers including salt classes, tea classes, canal transportation, weaving, Honglu Temple, etc., each with a clear price ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 taels, a total of 12, without exception, all of them are implemented.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, put it aside, and picked up another letter.

This is not a letter, but a list, which is evidence that Choi Chengxiu's "cultivation of private".

There are not only names, but also identity introductions. From Cui Chengxiu's Cui family to in-laws, villagers, friends, disciples, etc., a considerable number of them are not qualified to hold existing official positions, and all of them are arranged by Cui Chengxiu!
