Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 91: Organizing Office and Getting Rich!
As the rebellion of Jiang Tai and Wang Huang Jingming was dealt with from beginning to end, Zhao Yu was also a little tired.

After all, ever since he ascended the throne as the emperor, his nerves have been tense every day, for fear of revealing the slightest flaw.

Now that the dust has settled, a sense of tiredness suddenly arises from the depths of his bones.

"My dear friends, if there is no objection to today's matter, let's stop here for the time being. Dismiss the court!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said.

"Back—towards—"

Gao Lishi on the side saw this and shouted loudly.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

After all the ministers shouted long live, they exited the Tai Chi Hall one after another.

"Congratulations to the members outside, congratulations to the members outside, and it will be later."

He Bayun had just walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, and before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone calling his name from behind.

He nodded to his two brothers and signaled them to go home first. He Bayun just turned around. When he saw the visitor, he hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"It turns out it's Gao Diao Jue. I wonder what Gao Diao Jue's orders are when he summons his subordinates?"

He did not dare to offend the favored chamberlain beside His Majesty at all.

Although my three brothers have made some achievements, compared with this one, they are not enough.

"We are here to call out Mr. Heba on His Majesty's orders."

Gao Lishi smiled and returned the greeting. Seeing that there were few people around, he whispered:
"Commissioner He Ba followed our family into the palace. His Majesty seems to have something important to entrust to you."

Hearing Gao Lishi's words, He Bayun was startled for a moment, then his eyes showed a look of ecstasy, but he was quickly suppressed, and he repeatedly cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Gao Diaopang, for your point. I will thank you again in the future."

Gao Lishi smiled and said: "You and I are all working for His Majesty. Saying thank you or not is too disrespectful. Let's go to the side hall first. Don't keep Your Majesty waiting."

Gao Lishi has now figured it out. As long as he is trusted by His Majesty and continues to be favored by him, gold, silver, treasures, antiques, jades, etc. are not always easy to obtain.

Therefore, it is enough for me to occasionally accept some modest gifts from courtiers, but I must not be too greedy.

Compared with these many possessions, being trusted by His Majesty is obviously more important.

The two of them came to the side hall of Tai Chi Hall together.

"The humble minister He Bayun pays homage to His Majesty."

Seeing Zhao Yu who was sitting behind a few cases reviewing the memorial, He Bayun hurriedly greeted him.

"Get up." Zhao Yu put down his ink pen, looked at He Bayun, and said warmly: "He Baqing, I have something important that I need you to do."

He Bayun calmly said: "Please give me your Majesty's orders, He Bayun will not give up even if I die!"

Zhao Yu rubbed the faucet on the armrest of the dragon chair, frowned slightly, thought about it for a while, and then said:

"I am here to set up an editorial office for you, and you will temporarily serve as the head of the office. You will receive a fourth-grade salary and be directly responsible to me. I will give you an order to first transfer capable personnel from the Forbidden Army. The necessary money will be collected from the national treasury. Over there, I will say hello to the Ministry of Revenue. Although my internal treasury is a bit small, I will spend one-third of it to express my feelings and support."

When He Bayun heard the words, his heart was shocked, and he knelt down on the ground immediately, and said with sincerity and fear:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to repay your kindness!"

Now, although Zhao Yu has several talents in his hands, they all have their own uses.

Gao Lishi is the personal eunuch, Zhang Xiu is in charge of the imperial guard, and together with Fan Zhen, who is the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, they are the two barriers to protect Zhao Yu. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan are in charge of the Beijing army camp, training soldiers, Du It is his own think tank, Wang Pu. He has just given him the responsibility of the Privy Council, but the airs have not been set up yet.

As for He Batayue and He Basheng, they are the choices for future generals, so it would be a waste to put them on them;
Although Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng were good generals for a while, they were much worse than He Ba, so it is not appropriate to be in charge of this aspect of affairs.

But in addition, Zhao Yu also needs to have an intelligence agency similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, directly under himself, to monitor officials internally, and to listen to intelligence externally.

This important task could only fall on He Bayun when Zhao Yu had no one available.

But this is also a reflection of Zhao Yu's trust in He Bayun.

After all, He Boyun's average six-dimensional score was around 75 points, so it was enough to take on this job temporarily.

When you have a suitable candidate in the future, it won’t be too late to make adjustments.

"I believe in He Baqing's ability and will not disappoint me."

Zhao Yu nodded, then drafted a decree and handed it to He Bayun.

"He Baqing, don't worry about this matter, you go to Commander Zhang to lead a team, go to those people's houses in person, and check their property! Gao Lishi!"

When Gao Lishi heard this, he was already prepared and hurriedly handed a bright yellow imperial edict to He Bayun.

"Weichen, lead the decree!"

Zhao Yu was quite satisfied with He Bayun's straightforward attitude.

Although Huang Jingming, the former Queen Mother and King, has a clear name in the court, the characteristic [corruption of government affairs] in the national information cannot be faked.

The above reasons are also made clear: because Huang Jingming, the king of Taihe, controlled the government with one hand, the officials of the Taihe Party acted recklessly, used the power of the Taihe Palace to seek personal gain and corrupted the government.

Huang Jingming may not be a corrupt official, but can he guarantee that everyone under his command is not a corrupt official?
Zhao Yu expressed strong doubts about this!
Regardless of the fact that there are still more than 1000 million taels of silver in the national treasury, in front of a country, this amount of money is not much at all. It can even be said that it is not enough at all!
The entire Chu State combined, from south to north, from east to west, has about 56 soldiers and horses. Not to mention the maintenance and repair of weapons and armor, not to mention the purchase, transportation and storage of grain and grass supplies, these 56 or so soldiers are, The annual salary of one person is about 20 taels of silver. Roughly calculated, the salary will cost about 100 million silver.

This does not include the expenses such as official salaries, running the court, building roads and bridges, etc. If there is another drought like Lingchuan Prefecture, the money in the treasury will be like a flood that cannot be stopped. !
Therefore, emperors of all dynasties have a common book on getting rich. There are only two words in it, that is:
Search your home!The treasury is out of money?
Copy the house!

No money in the inner treasury?
Copy the house!

As long as there is no money to spend, then the house will be ransacked!
Copying the homes of those corrupt officials can not only subsidize the national treasury and make up for the deficit, but also deter all officials and gain the hearts of the people. Why not do it?

I didn’t see the Heshen family raided in Jiaqing. The gold and silver recovered alone, plus other antiques and treasures, totaled 11 million to 15 billion taels of silver, even more than the Qing government’s total fiscal revenue in [-] years!

…………

Two hours later.

A group of forbidden troops, led by He Bayun, arrived in front of the mansion of Zhang Liuqi, the former minister of the Ministry of War.

Looking at the magnificent Shangshu mansion, He Bayun frowned subconsciously, and with a wave of his hand, he led the imperial guards to rush in.

"stop!"

"Who are you, the frontier army is still from Wucheng soldiers and horses, so you don't know the rules?"

"How dare you break into my master's mansion without permission? I'm really tired of living!"

Seeing someone trespassing on the mansion, the servants standing in front of the vermilion lacquered gate suddenly became unhappy, and they all opened their mouths to scold.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

As the core of the Taihe King's party, Zhang Liuqi, the Minister of War, is a high-ranking official. Naturally, he does not take ordinary officials into consideration. With this, the vision of the doorkeepers has also become higher, and they have developed the consciousness of being superior to others and looking down on others. Low problem.

Therefore, they will not take ordinary generals seriously.

He Bayun squinted his eyes, raised his hand to stop the imperial soldier who wanted to scold him, took out a bright yellow edict from his arms, and said coldly:
"According to His Majesty's imperial edict, Zhang Liuqi, the Minister of War, is corrupt and perverts the law, forms cliques for personal gain, despises the royal power, and conspires to rebel. His heart is to be punished, and his crime is unforgivable. Grant him, the whole family will be executed!"

After that, he shouted to the crowd gathered around him:

"Idle people waiting, retreat immediately!"

However, to the surprise of all the imperial guards, the gatekeeper still didn't care when he saw the imperial edict that his master had brought out.

"Huh, your majesty's imperial edict is not as useful as the oral instructions of Lord Taihe! What's more, that faint..."

Before the servant finished speaking, a cold sword light completely occupied his field of vision.

He Bayun sheathed his sword with a normal expression, raised his right foot, and stepped hard on the dead head.

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered everywhere!
Seeing this bloody scene, the crowd suddenly burst into screams.

"If you dare to insult the Holy One, you will deserve to die!"

After He Bayun finished speaking, he waved his hand and said coldly:

"Enter the mansion! All the people in the mansion will be sent to prison, waiting for interrogation by Hou Sansi!"

"Search your home! Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"

Following He Boyun's order, the imperial guards who had been waiting impatiently rushed into the mansion with weapons in hand.

For a time, there was a chorus of wailing, begging for mercy, and crying.

In less than an hour, piles of gold, silver, jewelry, and boxes of antiques, paintings, and calligraphy were dug out and escorted to the palace under the escort of the government officials who came later.

Glancing at the family members guarded by the guards in the corner of the mansion, He Bayun waved his hand and said:

"Leave a few brothers to guard here, waiting for the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to come to collect people. The rest of the people will follow the master of the palace to the next place! Today, you and I must complete the matters entrusted by His Majesty. Only then can we support the reputation of our office!"

"Yes, Lord Palace Master!"

When all the guards heard this, their morale immediately rose and they responded in unison.

Seeing this group of self-proclaimed "Jishifu" people rushing in one direction aggressively, the crowd eating melons couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

It looks like something big has happened!
"Then, isn't that the residence of Zhong Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise broke out from the crowd.

"Go, go and have a look!"

"Go together! Go together!"

There was silence in the crowd at first, and then they chased He Bayun and others amidst the noise.

On that day, the residences of several high-ranking officials were ransacked, and their families were all taken to prison.

When the news came out, Shengjing City was shocked!

In the streets, almost all the people looked in awe while whispering about what the one in the palace had done!
However, no one dared to call that person "faint king" loudly and confidently on the street.

In this way, Zhao Yu entered the hearts of the people of Shengjing in an extremely iron-blooded and domineering way.
