Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 344
The skinning and cramping of the captured corrupt officials and the late execution of the captured demons and demons are continuing in the land of Beizhili. During this process, the Huangming Times is regularly printed and sold, which will involve the warehouse deficit case. All the details were omitted to show the world the court’s attitude towards combating corruption!

In the past, the situation in the DPRK was chaotic. As batches of people were brought to justice and there was no other sound, many civil servants in the DPRK were afraid.

This is really killing.

This is really peeling.

For the lower class groups, this is undoubtedly a cathartic feast, but for those who are officials, the impact this brings is too strong!

"Don't mention it to me too much about severely punishing corrupt officials."

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao walked on the royal road, waved his hand to Bi Ziyan who was accompanying him and said: "I know what to do about this matter. I have decreed to kill corrupt officials and monsters. Follow the court." There doesn't seem to be much connection between those who are officials in the middle and those who are local officials, right?"

"Unless they have something secret in their minds, why would it affect the efficiency of work? Has the Qing family been affected? Hasn't the household department's errands been done very well in recent days?"

Bi Ziyan sighed softly in his heart. He knew that the emperor would not listen to his advice. Although he also felt that those corrupt officials should be executed like this, the impact of such a large-scale execution was huge. At least the pressure on people's psychology is extremely strong.

The Ministry of Revenue's errands were done well, provided that Bi Ziyan made it clear when he was in the government office that no private discussions on matters involving executions were allowed, and no private inquiries were allowed.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

Thinking of this, Bi Ziyan calmed down his mind, and as he followed the emperor, he bowed his head slightly and said: "These ministers feel that it is necessary to clarify things as soon as possible."

"Go ahead."

Zhu Youxiao replied casually.

There are too many things to be busy with these days. Zhu Youxiao has been staying in Qianqing Palace and even has no time to return to the harem. There is simply no way to finish the daily government affairs.

"With those groups of people executed one after another, the case of Beizhili Cangchang's deficit supervised by the Institute of Integrity has come to an end for the time being."

Bi Ziyan continued: "When it comes to the confiscated stolen money, when will Your Majesty issue an order to hand it over to our Ministry of Accounts? After all, the national treasury is empty right now, and there are a lot of expenditures that need to be allocated urgently. If..."

"I have already asked the Integrity Commission to supervise this matter."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "However, the seized gold will not be allocated to the national treasury. I will exchange a batch of silver from the internal funds and allocate it to the Ministry of Finance. In addition, I will transfer the batch of calligraphy, painting, antiques and the like. I will order the young master to dispose of it and hand it over to the Ministry of Accounts after everything is sold for money."

Bi Ziyan was relieved to hear this.

Bi Ziyan still values ​​​​this batch of confiscated proceeds. Although he is more or less worried about the emperor's radical approach, he is very concerned about gold and silver. After all, the national treasury really needs some income. .

"Your Majesty, can the food that was seized be..."

Bi Ziyan, who met his expectations, subconsciously said one more thing.

"Don't even think about it."

But Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "Bi Qing, we, the monarch and our ministers, agreed at the beginning that in the future when it comes to inspections, all gold and silver stolen will be filled into the national treasury, but only food and land are required. Since there are three chapters of the agreement regarding internal funds, no one should violate it."

It is impossible to give grain to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the warehouse have to resolve the gap owed by the warehouse, and additional allocations cannot be made to the local governments. This is Zhu Youxiao's attitude. If everything can be solved by Zhu Youxiao, then what's the use of all the civil and military officials? Just go home and hold the baby.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to use this method to make Yousi officials nervous and make up for all the debts owed in the past.

As for the batch of confiscated grain, Zhu Youxiao had already thought about it, so he built granaries in Huangzhuang across Beizhili. After removing a batch of grain for war preparation, the rest was used as work-for-relief, and then he gathered more The bankrupt groups were asked to work in the big jobs that had sprung up all over Beizhili.

"In this case... I sincerely request your Majesty to approve my previous proposal."

Bi Ziyan stopped, raised his hand and bowed to the emperor: "I still want to continue to promote the issuance of bonds by the Ministry of Household Affairs. I want to accomplish this."

"With that batch of stolen money going into the national treasury, the Ministry of Revenue doesn't seem to need to do this, right?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly.

Although he had absolute trust in Bi Ziyan, and Zhu Youxiao was quite approving of the Ministry of Household's issuance of bonds and various plans he wanted to achieve, Zhu Youxiao was worried about others.

After all, with so many bonds issued, if someone takes advantage of it, it will cause great losses to the court.

"Through the Integrity Commission's supervision of the Cangchang deficit case, the envoy is more determined to re-measure the official land!"

Facing the emperor's question, Bi Ziyan said in a serious tone: "This is something that the Ministry of Revenue should do, but if you want to do it, you must have a suitable name. I don't want the Integrity Council to intervene in this matter in the future." , after all, Guantian is different from others, the Integrity Institute is too radical in its actions, and a slightly excessive handling may lead to serious risks."

Seeing Bi Ziyan's behavior, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Since the Qing family has said so, I have no objection as long as it passes the cabinet discussion."

Since Bi Ziyan wants to do it, Zhu Youxiao can't object. After all, the ability of the Ming Dynasty's financial minister is worthy of recognition. After all, Zhu Youxiao needs to rely on Bi Ziyan to sort out the current Ming Dynasty's financial system. Such a premise cannot be allowed to restrict our hands and feet.

The sharp sword of the Institute of Integrity is suitable for use in fighting corruption, but it may not be suitable for everything, especially when it involves land, so we must be cautious.

In the conversation with Bi Ziyan, Zhu Youxiao could also hear his attitude towards Cui Chengxiu and his party. Bi Ziyan had no other ideas about the special Institute of Integrity, but Bi Ziyan was a little bit concerned about Cui Chengxiu and the others' style. I can't stand it.

Too extreme!
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After getting the answer he wanted, Bi Ziyan raised his hands and bowed.

"Go."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

Regarding the boundaries of power, Zhu Youxiao is very clear. He must not lose any of the power that should be held by him. Since he has chosen to give the power to his ministers, he must choose to trust him and not let them lose the initiative.

Just like the Responsible Cabinet, except for certain periods when Zhu Youxiao would show his will with a tough attitude, more often he would ask Zhu Guozuo and others to vote for decisions.

After all, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, there are many existing messes in the Ming Dynasty. Some need to be solved by him personally, but some can be solved by his ministers. If this is the case, then there is no need for him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to make a big deal. Take a big look...
