As soon as Zhu Linmiao's words fell, the officials below almost cried with emotion.

After many years, someone finally said what they had always wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and every word was like a sweet spring dripping into their hearts!

But there are also calm, secretly snorting coldly, who wouldn't say beautiful words, so you have to buy people's hearts, it's too easy to think about it, right?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Linmiao continued to say lightly: "This king is the auxiliary government of the Son of Heaven, and when you think about the worries of everyone in the court, it is time to adjust this situation." ”

The eyes of all the courtiers lit up, this auxiliary king turned out to be more than just able to fight and cut people, and it seemed to be quite intimate at this time.

"It's just that the imperial court is not rich nowadays, and there is a drought in southern Fujian......"

When the officials heard this, they wilted again, and at most they would break the monthly treasure money into silver and rice.

"Therefore, this king announced that from now on, all officials in the Ming Dynasty will be raised by three times!"

Zhu Linmiao's words were like droplets thrown into boiling oil, and the court immediately fried the pot.

"Lord Li, how much did His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King of Fang Cai say? Triple turn? ”

"It seems to be, it seems to be!"

"Triple turned! Shall I receive it every year after that...... Uh, a thousand stones?! ”

"That way, I can afford to buy that mansion in the south of the city!"

For a while, everyone threw the recent incident of hundreds of heads falling to the ground in Tianxing Mansion to the clouds, and they were all immersed in endless happiness.

Zhu Linmiao still didn't stop, and added: "And in the future, all the money will be issued, and there is no need for treasure money."

"In addition, this is only a temporary measure, and when the imperial court overcomes the current difficulties, it will increase its income."

The courtiers couldn't hold back any longer, knelt down in front of the Wenhua Palace, and praised one after another, "His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King is wise!" ”

After the ministers calmed down a bit, Zhu Linmiao continued: "If you make money like this, you must have enough money on weekdays, right?" ”

Everyone nodded their heads and said, "Enough, enough!" ”

"Enough!"

"When there is surplus!"

The amount of money has tripled, and the amount of money that has not been issued has tripled, compared with before, the actual amount of money has increased by more than four times, how can it not be enough.

"That'll be fine." Zhu Linmiao suddenly changed his previous indifferent attitude, and said loudly, "Since the money is enough, then don't use the reason that there are too few people to engage in corruption and bribery in the future."

"From now on, walk with the rising income and restore the law of Taizu - anyone who embezzles more than sixty taels will be stripped of skin and filled with grass, and violent in the court!"

His words shocked the courtiers to kneel on the ground again, and said, "Remember, the lower officials." ”

In fact, everyone did not take these words to heart. The words prohibiting corruption must be repeated hundreds of times in any dynasty, and when Chen Wang is a new official, the slogan is always shouted. But in the end, it's not all the law that doesn't blame the public, in this Ming world, you are greedy for me, it has always been like this, when has it changed?

Only Zheng Guangying, the left governor of the Jinyi Guard, who was standing outside the gate of the Wenhua Palace, smiled proudly. Yesterday, when His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King summoned him, he ordered him to straighten out the brocade guard, and allocated a lot of silver taels, saying that there would be important matters to be handed over to him.

Now it seems that it is time to investigate the corruption of the courtiers.

He likes to be busy, and when he is busy, it proves that he and his brocade guards are useful, and he never wants to live the days when he grinds his teeth all day in the Longwu Dynasty.

He even had a long list of targets in mind that needed to be investigated.

Zhu Linmi's policy of "high salary and honesty" was his first step in purging the imperial court, but it was also an extremely important step.

Only when the bureaucracy is clear and clear can the whole country have a positive foundation.

The salary system handed down from the era of Zhu Yuanzhang was too harsh, and non-greedy officials such as Hai Rui could not even afford to eat meat, which was also the objective reason for the first generation of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is also the first place where he starts when he gets rid of the old evils.

There is no decent money, and it is a fool's dream to want officials not to be greedy. People study hard for ten years, go all the way to the exam, wait for a few more years, and finally become an official, but the result is that life is not as good as an ordinary businessman, which is really unreasonable.

But now they have been given a lot of money, enough food and clothing, and if anyone dares to commit corruption again, then don't blame me for being rude.

Of course, Zhu Linmiao dared to make such a high salary, and he also had his confidence.

Yu Xin, who was in charge of the investigation of the prisoners last night, had roughly counted the family backgrounds of these nearly 200 officials, and roughly estimated that it was also above 2.6 million taels!

Although the raid is still in full swing, it is a sure thing that a large amount of silver will be deposited in the state treasury, and with this money in hand, even if there is no other income, it will be enough to pay the officials a few years' salary.

In addition, with this large amount of money, many things in Zhu Linmiao's planning can be started.

Overseas trade alone can increase the income of the imperial court by at least four or five million taels every year.

This is still only the trade volume of the official fleet, plus the collection of customs tariffs on private foreign trade, just eating the sea, the annual income is about 10 million taels of silver.

When a series of factories such as steel, glass, chemicals, rubber, and fine processing are put into operation, the benefits will be even more considerable.

These have been arranged in detail in the "Ming Development Outline" prepared by him before.

So he didn't take the courtiers to heart at all. As he said, three times is only a temporary standard, and when the court is rich, five times or six times is not impossible.

Subsequently, Zhu Linmiao announced in public the establishment of a new propaganda department in addition to the six ministries.

The ministers of the court and the central government were still immersed in the joy of "raising wages", and many people hardly paid attention to this matter.

Moreover, according to the introduction of the auxiliary political king, this propaganda department has no overlap with the current six departments, and it is still in charge of trivial matters such as leading classes to act, and there is no need for the imperial court to allocate money to operate, so no one has the motive to oppose it.

In addition, the new secretary of the Propaganda Department is Lu Zhenfei, and now he jumps out to oppose it, isn't it a slap in the face of the Lu Cabinet Department?

Thus, under the spirit of harmony, the establishment of the Propaganda Department was successfully passed.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Zhu Linmiao asked Huang Daozhou, the new secretary of the ministry, to read out a batch of job arrangements for the court.

Due to the fall of Zhu Yuao, the original positions of Su Guansheng, Wang Yinghua, He Wuyu and others were vacant. In addition, nearly 200 officials were beheaded this time, which caused a large number of vacancies in the DPRK and China.

Zhu Linmi's political foundation in the DPRK and China was very weak, so he took advantage of this opportunity to arrange for many of his own people to hold important posts in the DPRK and China. However, as a latecomer who is very familiar with historical figures, he arranges extremely suitable talents for each position.

"Zuo Shilang of the military department, Zhang Jiayu......

"The right squire of the military department, Yu Xin......

"Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, Song Yingxing......

"Ministry of Langzhong, Xu Erlu......

"Hubu Shangshu, Yang Tinglin ......"
