please make me king

Chapter 1514 Uncooperative

"Today, it has been verified that there are 120 residences of the emperor's relatives, 32 gardens, 530 shops, and 810 farms, worth about 400 million taels of silver." Tian Xiuying looked helplessly at Zhang Shun and hugged her. Zhou Yufeng reported while eating.

"There are countless other antique calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and curios. It is roughly estimated that the value is tens of millions of taels of silver. The actual copied silver is 6307 million taels, which is worth a total of..."

"37 taels!" Before Tian Xiuying could finish speaking, Zhang casually calculated the result.

"Yes, 37 taels!" As soon as Tian Xiuying said this, everyone present could not help but gasp.

Although it is said that about [-]% of them are things that need to be realized, such as farm houses and antiques, this figure is almost equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty for two or three years, which also surprised everyone.

"The nobles in the court are so noble, Daming will not perish!" Even Queen Zhou couldn't help but shook her head and said.

How did she not know how her original partner, Zhu Youjian, begged her grandpa to sue her grandma, and only then did she ask for several 10 taels of silver.

As a result, Zhang Shun copied hundreds of times of silver, how could everyone not be surprised?
Zhang Shun didn't care about this, but shook his head and said: "This matter is a top secret, and we are not allowed to reveal it."

"Only include the silver taels, antique calligraphy and paintings, rare silks and satins, and real estate title deeds into the internal funds, and then make a calculation."

With this batch of money, Zhang Shun had the confidence to fight against the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

I want soldiers to have soldiers, and money to have money, what can you do to me?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, urgent report!" At this moment, Gao Qiqian's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"What's the matter, come in and report!" Zhang Shun hurriedly signaled the four girls to hide, leaving Tian Shuying alone to wait on her.

Not long after, I saw Gao Qiqian walking in, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I just received news that many officials in the capital have abandoned their posts and claimed that they are incompatible with Your Highness!"

"If... If the slaves are not bad, the states and counties will soon set off a wave of abandoning officials."

"Non-violent non-cooperation?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard the words, and said sarcastically, "It seems that they know that those who know current affairs are heroes!"

Is this the character of a literati?
Love it, love it!
Zhang Shun shook his head and ordered: "Pass down the order: [-]. Anyone who abandons his official position will be recorded in the roster and will never be used again!"

"Second, tell the world that His Majesty will open Enke on the second day of his enthronement, and recruit more scholars than the quota!"

Aren't you going to put down the pick, then you won't be an official in this life!

To be honest, Zhang Shun thought that these people might collude with Houjin or Bianzhen, or with Remnant Ming forces, but he really didn't expect these people to play this trick on him.

In fact, this hand is extremely vicious!
In fact, since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the ancient Chinese regime relied heavily on bureaucratic governance.

Once the bureaucrats clearly do not cooperate, the ruler will lose the ability to govern the country.

If it were most of the new regimes, with no one under their command, and hundreds of thousands of troops to support, they might be discouraged.

But who is Zhang Shun?
Zhang Shun is the master of four million taels of silver fraudulently obtained by four wives, and more than 400 million taels of silver, how much money can he make?

Don't mention it alone, but the extra income of nearly ten million taels, plus the taxes that have already been included in most of Shaanxi and a small part of Henan, are completely enough for him to stabilize his position.

Seeing that the former civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were at their wits end, he became more confident, and even planned to take the opportunity to reorganize the messy bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these alone are not enough, he has made military preparations so as not to take advantage of him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun continued to order: "Tell Zhang Sanbai to deal with the remaining enemies in the three towns of Jiliao and Dongjiang as soon as possible without delay."

"Speak to Hong Chengchou and Li Xin to deal with Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and others as soon as possible without delay!"

"Show Cao Bianjiao to conquer Kaifeng as soon as possible, and push the battle line towards Xuzhou."

"Yes, my servant will do it now!" Gao Qiqian hurriedly memorized all the words, and then resigned.

Who would have thought that just as he went out, he turned over and turned back.

"What else is there?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being quite surprised.

"Hou Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, please see me!" Gao Qiqian rushed to report.

"Oh? Let him in!" Zhang Shun nodded.

After Zhang Shun entered Beijing, in addition to the cabinet ministers, he also invited back some six ministers, among which Hou Xun, the minister of household affairs, was one of them.

It's just that since Zhang Shun came to power, he has always regarded "Hongguang Emperor" Zhu Changxun and the cabinet as rubber stamps, and he doesn't rely on them very much for the time being.

The Duliubu Shangshu is different in that it has an executive department and still has greater power.

Not long after, I saw that gray-haired Hou Xun came in, bowed to Zhang Shun, and the two sides sat down respectively.

Only then did he open his mouth and said: "I am a minister of the household department, but now Taicang is empty and it is difficult to relieve His Highness's worries, please resign!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun glanced at him indifferently after hearing the words, and then smiled, "I heard that Mr. is from Guide Mansion?"

"Exactly!" Hou Xun said in his heart: Here we come!

"My lord heard that Guide Mansion is not too far from Kaifeng and Daming, right?" Originally, Hou Xun thought that Zhang Shun would play emotional cards with him and try to pull the township party relationship, but he never expected him to say such words .

Today's rebel Cao Bianjiao tribe has besieged Kaifeng for seven months, and Hong Chengchou's tribe has also been confronting Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and others in Daming Mansion for more than half a year.

Zhang Shun's words did not object to Chi Guoguo's threat.

Hou Xun couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and he couldn't help but stabilized his expression immediately.

I'm afraid of being a bird, since Laozi Jiyan took office, I know exactly how many taels of silver there are in Taikuang, can he still conjure up silver?
Seeing that he looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Zhang Shun's face became more and more serious.

He continued to speak: "When my king entered Beijing, someone told me: Hou Xun is a remnant of the Donglin Party, and he should be caught early!"

"This king said with a smile: This king appoints people on their merits, regardless of relatives. What's more, if you talk about it carefully, it's still my king's township party."

"Is there anyone in the world who doesn't belong to his own party, but is willing to run dogs for others?"

"King Shun, it's too much!" Hou Xun couldn't help saying when he heard Zhang Shun's provocation.

It turned out that Hou Xun not only controlled the household department of Daming, but also had the favor of promoting Ming general Zuo Liangyu, so he felt that he was qualified to bargain with Zhang Shun, but Zhang Shun told him that he could not.

"Why are you not convinced?" Zhang Shun smiled.

"The Zuo Liangyu you have high hopes on has a nickname called 'You stubborn stone', and I personally took it for you!"

"As for the money and food, you don't need to worry about it. Even if the king's counties and counties don't accept grains, the 50 army under the king's grace will have spare money for three to five years!"

"How...how is it possible?" Hou Xun was still aggressive at first, but when he heard Zhang Shun's best words, he was immediately stunned.

As the Minister of the Household Department, he has tried his best to support him for many years, so he doesn't know the embarrassment of the court.

As a result, now that Zhang Shun told him that he was not short of money, how could he believe it?

"Believe it or not is up to you, I can't do it!" Zhang Shun sneered, "To tell you the truth, the Ming and Jin countries did not expect that the king could raise so many soldiers, but the king raised so many soldiers. Can you imagine it?"
