Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 216 Windfall
The current rules in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty are that there are no rules. As long as it is profitable, as long as it can win fame and gain both fame and fortune, there will be a large number of people who dare to take their lives and provoke the imperial power.

As far as Emperor Chongzhen is concerned, the current situation he is in is purely a mess, surrounded by another mess, surrounded by layers of rings, telling you to just stay in the deep palace.

"Bo Ya...I heard that there are many people going to your Shuntian government office in the past few days?" Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe and asked Sun Chuanting with a smile: "I am a little curious. Guys, are you honestly acting in accordance with the new regulations of Chongwenmen Customs?"

"Please ask your majesty to ask the crime."

Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and said, "I didn't waste any more words with them, but just selected some merchants with connections behind them.

I only emphasized one point to them, whether to follow the new regulations promulgated by the Chongwenmen Customs, the decision is up to them.

If the new regulations were followed, the arrested corrupt officials would only be held in the Shuntian Mansion Prison, and they would be tried by the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, and they would be convicted of whatever amount of money they embezzled.

If you don't abide by the new regulations, you can only hand over those corrupt officials to Jin Yiwei..."

"Haha~"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly, pointed at Sun Chuanting and said, "Bo Ya, Boya, I didn't expect you to be flexible. That's right, I really didn't misunderstand you."

It is possible to manage all kinds of daily necessities such as food, salt, cloth, etc. needed by the various workshops inside and outside the capital. Such an industry with a large flow of water can be brought from outside the capital to the capital. Dare to pat your chest and say that there is no support from relatives, dignitaries, and officials?
Sun Chuanting saw this, and then the current turmoil caused by the Jinyiwei made those behind the scenes fearful, so they must first stabilize the order of the various squares in the capital.

"Your Majesty, I'm still a little worried."

Sun Chuanting bowed slightly, and said: "Right now, it's just an expedient measure. After they understand what's going on with the new regulations promulgated by Chongwenmen Customs and the routine random inspection, they will definitely use various means to fight back.

At that time, there will inevitably be some disturbances in the capital.

I have an immature idea in my heart, can I select some conscientious merchants from the Shuntian government office, give them some benefits from the side, and ask them to... ..."

"Bo Ya, it's a good thing that you can think of this level."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "However, I have deeper considerations about this matter, and I am also making some plans, so you don't have to worry about it.

If this kind of thing happens, someone will come to punish them. What you need to do now is to make the current customs order of Chongwenmen really solid. "

"I understand." Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty... If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Go!"

The capital city is of great significance to the entire Ming Dynasty. If any turmoil occurs under the rule, it is a major event. Letting some vested interest groups hand over the interests that have been held in their hands to the court, it is undoubtedly like They are not reconciled to cutting their flesh.

Setting off a price war and disturbing the order in the capital became the only way to force the policy to retreat, but Emperor Chongzhen was not afraid of this.

"Sha~sha~"

Not long after Sun Chuanting left, Han Zanzhou, who was emotional, hurried into Dongnuang Pavilion, and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "My lord... Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Fang have returned to the palace, and they are waiting outside the palace right now."

Finally home.

It seems that the investigation of the house thief Shuo Shuo in the inner court has handled the general affairs properly, and the rest are mostly aftermath matters.

"Xuan!"

Emperor Chongzhen raised his brows slightly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. To be honest, he was curious in his heart, how much money and land property could those thieves hiding in Huangzhuang be greedy for.

For a long time, regarding Huangzhuang, it has not been restricted by the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, the land under the name of Huangzhuang is still increasing, and the emperors of the past generations have been confused about the accounts of Huangzhuang.

He obviously has so many fertile lands, but the amount of money handed over to the internal funds is very little, and it is fooled by saying that the year is not good.

Isn't this a fool?

"Slave Wang Cheng'en, pay homage to the emperor!"

"Slave Fang Zhenghua, pay homage to the emperor!"

Looking at Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua, who had a lot of vicissitudes on their faces, Emperor Chongzhen guessed that they had endured a lot of pressure during this search operation, and even encountered many things that shocked them.

"Get up." Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently: "Wang Banban, Fang Zhenghua, you have worked hard this journey, let's talk about the situation this time."

Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua looked at each other, under the signal of Fang Zhenghua's eyes, Wang Chengen took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of slaves and servants to share the worries of the emperor.

Your Highness, this is the Inner Factory and the West Factory. Please review the memorials to be submitted during this inspection of Huangzhuang. "

While saying this, Wang Chengen took out a memorial from his bosom, and held it respectfully in both hands. Wang Dehua, who was beside him, hurriedly walked over, took the memorial, and turned around to present it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen, who received the memorial, read it under the watchful eyes of Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua. His expression, which was not filled with joy or sorrow, changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

shocking!

In Emperor Chongzhen's heart, he couldn't think of any other way to describe it besides this.

"The arrested eunuchs in charge of the village, and Shuoshu, a family thief involved in the case, have they all been taken back to the capital!!" Emperor Chongzhen raised his head, looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Okay... this really opened my eyes. , To actually confiscate more than 570 million taels of silver, more than 200 million shi of grain, and a total of more than [-] hectares of fertile land, haha... These gangsters are absolutely lawless."

The Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court is spread all over the eight lower prefectures of Beizhili. Each Huangzhuang has eunuchs in charge of the village, as well as other official schools and Zhuangtou. There may not be many investigations of a Huangzhuang, but they are grouped together After that, it is definitely an astonishing sum.

"The emperor calms down." Wang Chengen hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "All the house thieves involved in the case, Shuo Shu, are being escorted to the capital, when the time comes..."

"it is good!"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "When these house thieves Shuoshu are all taken back to the capital, they are the main leaders, and those who have murder cases on their hands will all be sentenced to death!

The rest of the people are all gathered for me, and I will tell them to die and work to atone for their sins! "
