At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 76 7000 taels of silver
The capital has exploded.

Jin Yiwei took people everywhere and sealed up the warehouses, especially the warehouses of Shanxi merchants. Almost all of them were seized, and more than a thousand people were implicated.

At the same time, Datong, Xuan Mansion, and even Taiyuan Mansion have also started a large-scale investigation. As long as they have transported food to the Mongols, no matter what their official position or background, they will all be escorted back to Beijing to wait for their release.

During the recent period, Yuan Bin has been extremely busy every day. Since the emperor returned to Beijing, he first brought up a bunch of treason cases, and the house raid here has not yet been completed, and another major case of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country appeared.

Jin Ying's heels were not on the ground either. His main task was to investigate Wang Zhen's followers. He thought that hundreds of people would be involved at most, but unexpectedly, more than [-] people had been investigated, and the situation was still spreading.

Royal study.

Zhu Qiyu is reporting one by one: "...Among the five members of the cabinet, Miao Zhong is 79 years old and has already resigned three times. Chen Xun's leg disease is getting worse. He usually sits in a sedan chair and has difficulty walking. , The younger brother has already consulted the cabinet's opinion, and after Miao and Chen retired and returned to their hometowns, they ordered Yu Qian, the left servant of the Ministry of war, and Hanlin Xiu to write Shang Ren and join the cabinet to participate in politics."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Both of them are good, let's make it so!"

Zhu Qiyu took out another memorial and said: "This is the list of candidates for vacant officials to be selected by the ministers and the Ministry of Officials. Due to time constraints, only officials above the fourth rank are planned to be selected. It will take some time for the officials below the fourth rank. "

Zhu Qizhen read it carefully after receiving it, and then said: "Let the cabinet draw up an imperial edict, and then hand it over to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for approval."

After doing this, Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a while, and finally summoned up his courage to say: "Brother Emperor, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Just say what you want to say, why are you still learning how to be coy?"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time, and then said: "There are quite a lot of people involved in the recent cases. People in the capital are panicked, and the shops are closed. If it continues like this, I'm worried..."

"Why?" Zhu Qizhen raised his head and asked, "Do you think I killed too much?"

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly knelt down and said: "I just think that the main criminal must be punished severely, but it is not appropriate to involve too much, otherwise everyone will be in danger, and there will be many who want to be sidelined!"

"There are a lot of people who want to be on the sidelines, haha!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a smile, and said: "I always believe in one sentence, don't do bad things for others, and don't be surprised when you knock on the door in the middle of the night. No matter how many things are involved, they deserve what they deserve. If these people don't get what they deserve Is punishment fair to those law-abiding traders? Is it fair to those law-abiding commoners? I want everyone in the world to know that if they make a mistake, they will be punished. Taking advantage of my loopholes, isn't this world going to be messed up?"

These words made Zhu Qiyu sweat profusely, and said: "Brother Huang is right, it's my younger brother who made things simple."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

At this time, Jin Ying walked in with an account book, saw Zhu Qiyu, and hurried out.

"Get up!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Think more when encountering things. You can't just look at the surface of the problem. Some things are far more complicated than what you see."

"The younger brother has been taught!"

After Zhu Qiyu left, Jin Ying hurried in.

"Your Majesty, this is the person involved in the recent investigation, please take a look!"

Zhu Qizhen only glanced at it, put it aside, and said: "What's the use of you showing me this, I'm here to ask you, how much money did you steal?"

"Oh, oh!" Jin Ying hurriedly picked up another account book and said, "Wang Zhen has many mansions in the inner city, a total of [-] gold and silver warehouses were found, and there were more than [-] jade plates, coral There are more than [-] plants six or seven feet high, and there are countless other treasures."

"Sixty warehouses?"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment, wondering what unit of measurement is this?
"Just tell me, how much is it?"

"Gold is 100 million taels, and silver is 500 million taels. If the mansion, fields, jewelry, antiques, etc. are converted together, the total value is about..."

Speaking of this, even Jin Ying herself couldn't help swallowing, and then said the result: "6000 million taels of silver!"

Boom!

The teacup in Zhu Qizhen's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"I fucked his ancestors!"

I saw him standing up suddenly, his face flushed red, I don't know whether it was excitement or anger.

"6000 million taels, 6000 million taels!"

"Da Ming's annual income is only a few million taels, yet he actually embezzled 6000 million taels?"

"Jin Ying, tell me, how did he do it?"

"What do Dongchang and Jinyiwei do for food?"

Jin Ying stood aside and dared not say anything. How did Wang Zhen climb to this position step by step? Who are you asking?

Return Dongchang, return Jinyiwei, both Dongchang and Jinyiwei are in Wang Zhen's hands, okay!

"Damn it, it was really cheap to kill him with one knife. It should be cut into thousands of pieces, one tael of silver for one knife, and cut him six thousand!"

Jin Ying couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's 6000 million knives."

"I know!" Zhu Qizhen calmed down his excitement, and asked again, "How is the investigation of Wang Zhen's remaining party?"

Jin Ying picked up the account book and turned it over, and said: "After investigation, there are more than 500 people who bribed officials, embezzled people's land, created unjust, false and wrong cases, and suppressed colleagues in the officialdom. The people were classified, and there were more than [-] people with serious circumstances, and more than [-] million taels of silver from the ransacking of their homes. There were also house deeds and land deeds, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, jade, and antique calligraphy and paintings, which could be converted into about [-] million taels of silver. Ten million taels, the exact number has not yet been calculated.”

Zhu Qizhen's mood that had just calmed down became excited again, shit, it's another 1000 million taels!
That's 7000 million taels, so get rich!
Lao Tzu is now a country that is as rich as an enemy... No, the whole country is mine...

In short, everything is easy to do with money!

Martyr's Shrine?
Idiot!
If this money is invested in basic education and scientific research, wouldn't Ming be about to take off!

Fusiliers, steam engines, railway repairs, ironclad ships...

Zhu Qizhen seems to see a brand-new Ming Dynasty. The ground is dominated by armored units of tanks, and fighter planes roar past in the sky. On the vast sea, aircraft carrier formations are patrolling the Pacific coast...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Qizhen came back to his senses, looked at Jin Ying in front of him, and asked, "What else is there?"

"It's like this. The slaves went to Weizhou and found that more than half of the good land there was occupied by Wang Zhen. Now that Wang Zhenfu is punishing them, these fields should be confiscated, but in this way, the common people are farming. This has become a problem, and the servants are a little uncertain about how to deal with it, so I have to ask the emperor to make a decision himself."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, indeed, this is a problem.

If all the land is confiscated, although it can be leased to the common people, it will be equivalent to losing half of the land in Weizhou, which is not good for local development.

"Well, you go and check it out. If that bastard Wang Zhen snatched it by accident, return the land."

"Your Majesty, the slaves have already checked, and those who can find the owner have already returned it, and most of them can't find the owner..."

As for why I couldn't find it, of course the person was gone.

"Also, most of the officials in Weizhou are Wang Zhen's henchmen. Over the years, relying on Wang Zhen's power, they have done a lot of outrageous things. The slaves and servants made their own decisions and were taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The vacant officials It needs to be filled as soon as possible.”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "As for the vacancy of officials, King Tan is already handling it."

"Back to the emperor, my maidservants have inquired about it. Due to the severe vacancy of officials recently, His Royal Highness can only prioritize. Local officials like Weizhou don't know when they will have to wait."

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while, then asked: "Jin Banban, you have been in the palace for many years, I want you to recommend someone."

"What kind of person does the emperor need?"

"A person with a flexible mind and the people in his heart!"

Jin Ying thought for a while and said, "Yu Qian, the left servant of the Ministry of War!"

Zhu Qizhen grinned angrily, and said, "Knowing the state is from the fifth grade. If you let Yu Qian be the state knowing, wouldn't you be overqualified?"

Jin Ying thought about it again, and said: "This servant feels that the Imperial Academy's Imperial Academy all meet the emperor's requirements."

"Those Hanlin..."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of someone, and hurriedly said, "Go and call Shang Lu over here!"
