Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 255 Grateful
"Ding, Zhu Dadian, a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He was first granted the magistrate of Zhangqiu County. Because of his bravery in commanding battles, he was later promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Governor of Water Transport Fengyang.

Afterwards, he was impeached and returned to his hometown. King Fu succeeded to the throne in Nanjing and was able to return to his official position. Not long after Nanjing fell, the Eastern Captives attacked Jinhua and sold all their belongings to support the fight against the Eastern Captives.

Dongyao wanted to surrender Zhu Dadian, but Zhu Dadian tore up the imperial edict and beheaded the envoy, and defended Jinhua for two months. In the end, the city was broken, and the whole family and women threw themselves into the well.

Throughout his life, the imperial court treated Zhu Dadian with kindness, and Zhu Dadian treated the imperial court with loyalty. Although there was corruption during his reign, he later donated all of it to fight against the captives. "

Ding, your personal ability is outstanding, although he is a civil servant, he has led his subordinates to fight against bandits and captives many times, and his loyalty to Ming Dynasty is 100%"

The system's evaluation of Zhu Dadian is similar to that recorded in history.

This changed Zhu Youjian's impression of Zhu Dadian. This person's ability is definitely higher than that of Li Banghua and others.

As long as he can get rid of corruption, he will definitely be a man of action. As for the Fengyang matter, in fact, the main responsibility does not lie with him, but with Wang Chengming, the eunuch guarding Fengyang.

Now Daming is in a critical period of reform and anti-corruption, even though Zhu Dadian is very upright, but if he continues to make mistakes, Zhu Youjian will not spare him.

After finishing communicating with the system, Zhu Youjian focused on Zhu Dadian. Generally, people like him are not afraid of death, but no one wants to die if they can live.

Zhu Youjian decided to give Zhu Dadian a blow first:

"Zhu Dadian, I am very clear about what you have done all these years, I know that you are very capable, and Da Ming has never treated you badly.

Although your ability is outstanding, your greed is almost equal to your ability. According to reliable information, your family property has exceeded 300 million taels of silver. How did you get these taels of silver?

Let's see what your governor's Fengyang has become. Is this how you give back to Daming's expectations of you?Do you know how many corrupt officials I have beheaded recently?There are nine hundred and ninety-nine without one thousand.

Not only were all the money embezzled by them confiscated, most of the officials were confiscated by the whole family, and the three clans were wiped out, and the family members are still paying their debts on their behalf.

For the sake of a small Fengyang, I have to come in person despite my busy schedule. You must know that at this time, my three-way army of the Ming Dynasty is still fighting bloody battles in the cold Liaodong.

The stability and enjoyment of your current life are all bought by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with their flesh and blood, I ask you, where is your conscience..."

"Snapped……"

"Crack..."

As Zhu Youjian said, he suddenly slapped the handsome case with his palm, and the solid wood handsome case was shattered by his palm. Zhu Dadian almost fainted from fright. How could the emperor know so much about his family background.

He recalled that he had changed step by step from a poor scholar to the current governor of Fengyang, the governor of water transportation, and the second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty.

Almost didn't make use of any relationship, and was pulled out by the emperor. Zhu Dadian suddenly repented, and couldn't help crying.

"Boom bang..."

Zhu Dadian, who was over [-] years old, kowtowed repeatedly with his head on the ground, and soon blood flowed from his forehead.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die. The guilty subject owes the emperor's favor. The guilty subject is willing to spend all his wealth. The guilty subject dare not pray to live in the world, but I hope the emperor will let the guilty subject go because of his contribution to the country. The young and old of the family, the guilty minister is willing to die to apologize..."

Zhu Youjian was very pleased with Zhu Dadian's performance, and couldn't help but think to himself:
"That's right, the prodigal son won't change his money back. It seems that I have achieved my goal."

Of course, this is just Zhu Youjian's inner thoughts. If he said it out, Zhu Dadian would not understand what it means for a prodigal son to turn his back on money.

However, Zhu Youjian continued to put pressure on Zhu Dadian:

"Zhu Dadian, you are speaking the truth. Will you still go your own way after I leave?"

Zhu Dadian kowtowed upward again:
"The emperor is aware that what the guilty minister said is the truth, if..."

"Okay, I believe in you, let's get back together!"

Just as Zhu Dadian was about to be poisoned to death, Zhu Youjian interrupted him, and Zhu Dadian hurriedly thanked him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Dadian knelt on the ground for a long time, his legs were numb when he got up, his body shook a few times and almost fell down.

"Be careful……"

Zhu Youjian had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stretched out his hand to support Zhu Dadian. Zhu Dadian, who was fearless in the face of death, burst into tears again at this moment, and wanted to kneel down to thank him again.

"Long live my emperor Xie, long live..."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"As long as you can realize your mistakes, I still think that Aiqing is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. Sit down!"

"Thank you Lord Long En, as long as the guilty minister is still alive, he will die for Daming. The criminal's family property is less than 300 million taels, but I am willing to donate all of it to do something for Fengyang. As for the life of the family, the emperor does not have to worry about it. There is a salary to support them!"

Zhu Youjian used both kindness and power to make Zhu Dadian obedient, and he was willing to give up all his family property. He did not quibble about the current situation in Fengyang.

How could it be that Zhu Youjian didn't know what was going on here? As the Fengyang garrison eunuch, Wang Mingcheng was the key. As a royal minister, Zhu Dadian certainly couldn't control him.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian will not blame Zhu Dadian now, let alone bankrupt Zhu Dadian. If he wants the horse to run fast, if he does not give the horse grass to eat, no matter how good the horse is, it will be useless.

After all, there are not many honest officials like Hai Rui. In fact, Hai Rui's family also has tens of thousands of acres of land, and it's not like they have nothing.

"Haha, okay, since Aiqing volunteered to donate silver taels, I can't let you suffer. You keep 50 taels, and donate the rest to redeem your sins. I will pass this page and pretend that such a thing never happened. , this is my will!"

"This... I am grateful to Lord Long En!"

Okay, Zhu Dadian was touched by the emperor again.

After turning the page of this matter, Zhu Youjian started to get to the point:
"Zhu Dadian received the order, and I ordered you to lead the officials of Fengyang's five counties and thirteen prefectures to investigate the entire Fengyang field, no matter whether it is fertile land or wasteland, not a single point should be missed, including military fields.

All the fields of the family, as long as they are not bought and sold according to fairness, will be taken back and redistributed. The military households in the guards no longer own the fields because they are paid by the army, but their families will be allocated the land.

In the future, the land cannot be bought and sold, and the ownership belongs to the imperial court. What they have now is only the planting rights, that is, the imperial court rents land to the people.

The imperial court will cancel all taxes, but it needs to collect [-]% of the rent. Due to natural disasters, the rent will be exempted for three years, and the rent will be paid in full as required after three years.

Large-scale state-owned farms are set up with excess land, and the common people can go to the farms to earn money in their spare time, and the money will not be taxed.

If there is any disobedience, the land will not be distributed, and the family property will be confiscated and confiscated in serious cases. If there is any violent resistance to the law, the law will be executed on the spot, and the notice will be issued, and it will be executed immediately tomorrow. "

"Wei Chen obeys orders"

Zhu Youjian's decision was actually implemented long ago in the area north of Fengyang, not just now, but Zhu Dadian was still quite frightened.

He thought that doing so would cause riots among the gentry and guards, what if they attacked the emperor, and how to distribute the ancestral property.

"Your Majesty, there is still one thing that I don't know. Whether the gentry's ancestral properties have been investigated, this humble minister must ask clearly, otherwise there will be troubles?"
