Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 259 Confiscated the house and found out 800 million taels of silver!

Hall of Qinzheng

Eunuch Wei is still reporting the results of this house raid with all his heart and soul.

Basically, Zhu Youxiao swept over with one glance and ten lines.

See the bottom layer directly and see the data statistics.

One, ten, one hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million.

Now this bill is a table, which is classified and summarized, with Arabic numerals on one side and Chinese characters on the other.

Eight hundred, forty, thirty thousand, two thousand, six hundred, thirty-seven taels?
Zhu Youxiao secretly took a deep breath.

More than 800 million taels.

Zhu Youxiao is all excited, how much money is this?

Zhang Haogu looked at the bill, and couldn't help but take another look at Wei Zhongxian. He had to admit that Eunuch Wei is definitely good at dealing with money.

In history, after Eunuch Wei cleaned up the Donglin Party, it was the same. He wanted to come out and pay for it.

I don’t know how much money was spent in the end. Anyway, in the end, the three main halls of the Apocalypse were repaired.

Not only was it repaired, but it also cost 595 million taels of silver.

As for now, the three main halls of the Apocalypse only cost 30 taels of silver.

A gap of nearly twenty times.

It can be seen that the collected money has been scooped up by a large group of people.

Looking at Eunuch Wei, Zhang Haogu couldn't help muttering in his heart, this dead eunuch finally got the money, and then the people under him embezzled the money again, and then Eunuch Wei tried to find a way to continue to get money from the officials Silver, officials continue to embezzle.

In this way, a perfect closed loop is formed.

Sustainability is where the water is drained.

When Daming reached Tianqi, Eunuch Wei would be very good if he could get money. It was better than ever. Chongzhen almost knelt down and begged the ministers to donate money.

But now, the situation is much better.

The return of consumption and envy to the public is basically on the right track, and the abolition of local apportionment has been very effective.

In addition, the gentry’s one-to-one payment of food and errands has also been promoted on a large scale in the capital and Shandong. As long as they can be stabilized, these two places will also be the most stable sources of taxation for the imperial court.

Next is Shanxi and Shaanxi.

If you start from the poor, you will experience much less resistance.

Now, Zhang Haogu's most troublesome problem is actually the problem of Datong students. In the past few years, he has trained more than 4000 students, and now he basically arranges all the available ones.

However, Zhang Haogu also understood very well that some of the more than 4000 people were not capable enough.

There are quite a few people who still need to be rebuilt.

Once the policy is promoted, some people will become impatient, and even when it is implemented, there will be problems of one kind or another. Using them is also a helpless move.

The resistance of the new policy was so great that it completely exceeded Zhang Haogu's estimation. There was really no one under him who could use it, and some Datong students could only let them go up in advance.

Cultivating talents takes time.

Zhang Haogu thought in his heart that if he gave himself five years, he would be able to stabilize the New Deal. At that time, the capital, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, these four places will be connected, even if they don’t need the support of the South, they can still Compete against the Jurchens.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the accounts carefully again, and suddenly frowned: "Isn't that right?"

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said with a lowered eyebrow, "My lord, but, what's the problem?"

Zhu Youxiao tapped the imperial case rhythmically with his knuckles, gritted his teeth and said: "These bastards have embezzled more money than that. I still remember that since the Battle of Sarhu, the imperial court has spent a lot of money." Silver, if it’s not 2000 million taels, it’s at least 500 million taels, how can you recover such a little?”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao still pondered for a while, and continued: "When Gao Huai was in Liaodong, he also opened mines to make money. What about the money?"

Wei Zhongxian said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this old slave has nothing to do. They have to spend the money after they get it. When they get the money, they will go to buy land. Besides, there is also management from top to bottom. They will not come back, and there is still a part of the money that has not been recovered for the time being, and now, the money is only being recovered at the moment, the emperor is giving the old slave a period of time, and he can definitely get back more!"

Saying that, Eunuch Wei glanced at Zhu Youxiao secretly, and then quickly said: "Your Majesty, all these lands are now confiscated. Look, do you want to sell them?"

Zhang Haogu on the side said: "If this land is sold now, I'm afraid the price will be greatly reduced!"

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and said: "Don't sell these lands, just distribute them to the people around you!"

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough government officials!"

Zhang Haogu reminded: "If you want to divide the land, it is not suitable for the farm. I think it is better to directly merge the land into the Huangzhuang, and then rent it out to the people for cultivation, and let them grow it themselves. , Your Majesty does not want a cent, but the imperial court directly collects the tax at 15.00%, how about it?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Okay, just follow what the master said!"

"My lord, if this land is divided, then, I can't get back so much money!" Wei Zhongxian was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help saying.

"Land is the foundation of ordinary people. If there is no land, it is inevitable to fight against the imperial court. At that time, the imperial court will suppress it again, and it will cost more money!" Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Fen, Zhen, so A lot of Huangzhuang have been divided, these common people, I can't bear to let them suffer!"

Eunuch Wei nodded and praised: "The emperor is a sage, and he loves the people so much. Among the emperors of all dynasties, which one can compare with the emperor?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I think the great grandfather should be better than me!"

Only then did Eunuch Wei continue: "Your Majesty, Yang Lian committed suicide in fear of crime when he was in prison!"

"Did you commit suicide in fear of sin?" Zhu Youxiao took a breath, and then slowly said: "It's really cheap for him, that's all, if a person dies, he dies, let's deal with it!"

Zhu Youxiao was in a very good mood, and he made nearly 800 million taels more in one breath. Naturally, he was in a very comfortable mood, and naturally he would not take Yang Lian's little matter to heart.

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "I think it's almost the same, the court can issue a decree, the battle of Guangning, so far, all those involved in the case will be arrested. In the past, some people either bribed or did not report their knowledge. Now, The imperial court will not pursue it!"

Eunuch Wei couldn't help but said: "Master Zhang has a kind heart!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Yes, the master is benevolence and righteousness, but the master is right. This matter is over here. It is still the same sentence. Three years before the apocalypse, they will not be held accountable. Let them keep their own. By raising Lianyin for them, I will also give them a chance to correct their mistakes, and if they know their mistakes, they can correct them, and there is nothing good about them!"
