Listen to the loyal ministers continue to advise him patiently.
Each reason made perfect sense, and he agreed with them wholeheartedly.
But it's no use.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on your own opinion, then you can step over the dead body of an old minister. If this new policy is implemented, the country will be destroyed!"
five minutes later.
Ji Changsheng appeared behind the curtain.
The Empress Dowager and Wei Zhongxian then realized that Elder Ji had arrived, and they hurriedly tried to salute him, but Ji Changsheng stopped them with a wave of his hand.
"No need to be polite, I've heard enough. Wei Zhongxian, have you remembered all the people who spoke out against it just now?"
"Don't worry, Elder Ji. No one can escape."
"Well, how is the manpower preparation going?"
Wei Zhongxian said, "We have deployed people at the gates of every house, and have also assigned royal family members to provide support. We are 90% sure that nothing will go wrong. Perhaps some of the princes and nobles have hidden their strength, so just in case, we still hope that Mr. Cao can provide support to prevent anyone from jumping off the wall out of desperation."
Ji Changsheng readily agreed: "No problem, I will tell Senior Brother Cao. Not only Senior Brother Cao, but Princess Hongye and I will also be in charge and do it ourselves. In the name of His Majesty, break into the house and confiscate the property. Let you suffer, and His Majesty will bear the blame!"
Chapter 97: Your Majesty, gentlemen, great joy! Sheng State has become rich.
Wei Zhongxian demonstrated through his actions that Elder Ji was indeed a very charismatic person.
After Cao Ziming stayed with Ji Changsheng for two or three days, his righteous energy had evolved into something very flexible.
Wei Zhongxian only followed Ji Changsheng for one day and one night, but his operational efficiency was rapidly improved.
After Ji Changsheng finished saying "You gentlemen will suffer, and Your Majesty will bear the blame," Wei Zhongxian issued an order to confiscate the property.
In less than half an hour, Ji Changsheng, who was in charge, had already obtained the family assets that Wei Zhongxian had seized.
"Elder Ji, this is a bit... shocking."
To be honest, Wei Zhongxian was very ashamed.
He also likes to make money.
As a eunuch, he also accepted bribes.
But compared with these civil servants and generals in the outer court, he felt that he was really insulting the word "greed for money".
He is not worthy of being a corrupt official.
Even his deceased adoptive father, as a "genuine" "evil cult demon", was not worthy of being a corrupt official.
"Too exaggerated." Wei Zhongxian's three views were refreshed: "There is a small official of the fifth rank, but his family actually has 87 sets of blessed land."
As soon as Cao Ziming walked over, he heard Wei Zhongxian's words.
With a "thump", Cao Ziming fell directly to the ground.
"How many?"
Wei Zhongxian understood Cao Ziming's reaction very well.
He also thought he had misread the number.
"Eighty-seven sets of blessed land, and half of them are top-notch blessed lands... Mr. Cao, let me ask you a question. Am I richer than you?"
Cao Ziming was dumbfounded: "How can I be worthy of such a wealthy man?"
The most valuable thing on his body is the sword in his hand.
But this was passed down to him by his master.
Blessed land... He has nothing in this worldly world.
There is a set in Danqing Pavilion, which belongs to Danqing Pavilion.
After he is sent to Xuandu Temple for exchange, he will be temporarily handed over to other disciples for use.
It must be said that Senior Brother Cao is a pure proletarian.
I am naturally suited to follow Ji Changsheng to carry out reforms... I am suited to follow Ji Changsheng to learn how to use the righteous energy!
"The most indignant minister of the Ministry of Revenue kept saying that there were no spirit stones in the national treasury... The national treasury did have no spirit stones, but 3.7 billion high-quality spirit stones were confiscated from his home."
With a "thump", Cao Ziming fell to his knees again.
He shed tears of poverty.
"Three hundred and seven billion high-quality spirit stones. I have never seen so much money in my life." Cao Ziming murmured.
The best quality spirit stones can only be used by major sects and are only provided for practitioners to cultivate. They are not circulated in the secular world.
The limit that ordinary cultivators and common people can get is high-quality spirit stones.
But quantitative change leads to qualitative change. As long as there are enough high-quality spirit stones, they can naturally be exchanged for top-quality spirit stones.
Even in the world of cultivation, 3.7 billion high-quality spirit stones is an incredible number.
Let me put it this way, if someone donates 3.7 billion high-quality spirit stones to Xuandu Temple, the abbot can personally invite this great philanthropist to dinner and can also award this great philanthropist a charity medal.
Cao Ziming had indeed never seen so many high-quality spirit stones since he was born.
His three views were also refreshed.
Then his anger rose and he became murderous.
"Junior Brother Ji, you are absolutely right. These people really deserve to be killed. Letting them live is cruel to the people of the world. This is all the blood of the people of Sheng Country and the independent cultivators."
Obviously, this was not earned by the Minister of Revenue through his own ability.
"Before, when I followed Lord Wei's group to search the houses, I felt a little pity for the families of the convicted officials. Now I think about how naive I was. I feel sorry for the families of the convicted officials. In such a big country like Sheng, I don't know how many people have lost their families because of these parasites."
Cao Ziming was a little excited.
I felt both ashamed for being so soft-hearted and angry at these parasites.
Junior Brother Ji is absolutely right.
What rules and laws, what morality, what virtues, and ethics are there to deal with these parasites?
They should all be killed.
Ji Changsheng ignored what Senior Brother Cao said.
Brother Cao has made rapid progress recently. I believe he has strong self-regulation abilities.
Ji Changsheng was mainly looking at the amount of money Wei Zhongxian seized during the house search.
After a quick look, Ji Changsheng basically had the answer.
"It seems that the compensation for Danqing Fudi is enough?"
Wei Zhongxian nodded affirmatively: "That's definitely enough."
After looking at the simple summary, he knew that it was an astronomical figure.
The spiritual stone problem that troubled the officials in the court was perfectly solved in his hands.
Wei Zhongxian found it ironic.
Those people always say that eunuchs like them are not good people.
Wei Zhongxian also admitted that he was indeed not a good person.
His godfather had just been killed by Ji Changsheng, and he immediately hugged Ji Changsheng's thigh and started licking it. This is certainly not something a gentleman would do.
But no matter how useless he was, he still felt like more of a human being than these guys.
So shameless.
Too greedy.
"Elder Ji, we haven't finished confiscating the homes of these criminal officials yet. At present, we have only collected half of their property at most. We will have to count them carefully later." Wei Zhongxian reported: "I am sure that if we only pay compensation to Danqing Fudi, there will definitely be some surplus, and it will be a lot more."
Normally, if a house was confiscated, he would have kept half of it.
But now that he was working with Ji Changsheng, he had no intention of intercepting anything.
Wei Zhongxian's whole mind was now on the "Golden Jade Pill" that Ji Changsheng had promised him.
And as Ji Changsheng said, try to live like a human being.
With Ji Changsheng around, and after all these evil spirits were wiped out, Wei Zhongxian felt that he might really have a chance to become the kind of person that Ji Changsheng gave him the name for.
"good."
Ji Changsheng patted Wei Zhongxian's shoulder approvingly.
Only then did he see Cao Ziming losing his composure.
"Brother Cao, there's no need to lose your composure. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often."
Ji Changsheng had seen even more exaggerated things in his previous life.
An ordinary petty official, once he got power, dared to embezzle nine-digit amounts.
The most bizarre thing is that there are people who only dare to be greedy but not to spend.
It is euphemistically called being afraid of being poor.
Art comes from life.
What was shown on a certain TV show is really not an exaggeration.
In comparison, these things are not new in Sheng State.
"If I wasn't sure that I could get enough spiritual stones from these people's homes to pay for Rugou, I wouldn't have done it easily." Ji Changsheng said sarcastically, "My confidence in these thieves who stole the country has never wavered. They can make the country and the people suffer, but they must not make themselves suffer. We have no choice but to make them suffer."
Cao Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "We really need to make them suffer. If they don't suffer, 99% of the people in Shengguo won't be able to be happy."
"Wei Zhongxian, continue copying. Copy out all the spiritual stones they have hidden in the bottom of their boxes. Senior Brother Cao, you supervise. If you find those who are truly incorruptible, record them silently. We will not let a bad person go, nor will we wrongly accuse a good person."
Cao Ziming was very moved: "Junior Brother Ji, you can still remain rational and calm even at this point. I really admire you. I just want a river of blood to flow now."
He was a little bit carried away and just wanted to kill people.
Ji Changsheng actually had a stronger murderous intent than him.
After all, killing people now is a good deed in Ji Changsheng's eyes.
However, the legal consciousness deeply rooted in his bones and the ethics of a righteous disciple made Ji Changsheng insist on following the procedures.
"Brother Cao, don't be impatient. Let's go through the procedures. If you want to kill someone, you still need a reasonable reason. I'll find one for you."
"What reason?"
"Congratulations to His Majesty and all the officials in the court."
This is what Ji Changsheng said and did.
Three minutes later.
Jinluan Palace.
Ji Changsheng followed the normal procedure and asked the guard on duty to report.
Only after obtaining the emperor's permission did Ji Changsheng enter the Golden Palace.
Let’s start by abiding by laws and regulations from myself.
As soon as he entered the Golden Palace, Ji Changsheng heard the familiar sound of quarreling again;
"Your Majesty, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. I really can't conjure up a spiritual stone."
"I know that your majesty cares about the people, but the national treasury is currently unable to provide enough."
"Your Majesty, you cannot think of everything for the people. Many people are very short-sighted, and they only think about their own little piece of land. They don't understand the difficulties of the court."
"Now our Sheng Kingdom is resisting the Ying Kingdom in the north, the Qi Kingdom in the south, and there are floods and earth dragons in the southwest. All of these things depend on the spiritual stones in the national treasury. Your Majesty, we really don't have spiritual stones. Let the people suffer, and I am willing to bear the blame."
"I have only one thing to say - if Your Majesty can fill the national treasury, I can cancel 'Ru Gou'. Now the national treasury is empty and there are no spiritual stones. Everything is just talk. It is absolutely impossible to cancel 'Ru Gou'."
……
When Ji Changsheng heard this, he spoke decisively: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, great joy, we have spiritual stones."
"Ok?"
