Zhang Jiayu turned his head and saw Yu Xin's expression, took a half step back and said, "Let's talk about it first." ”

Yu Xin didn't shirk either, nodded at him, and said happily to Zhu Linmi: "My lord, the investigation of the criminal is going quite smoothly.

"At present, only about 30% of the copies have been copied, and more than 300,000 taels of silver and money have been obtained. There are also real estate, title deeds, jewelry, antiques and other things, with a price of more than 700,000 taels. ”

So much? Zhu Linmiao was secretly surprised, just copied thirty percent of the millions of taels, and when all the more than 170 people were confiscated, there must be more than three million taels.

You must know that the annual salary of a first-grade senior in this era is only equivalent to more than a thousand taels of silver, and the third-grade waiter is only about five hundred taels. And the average family property of these corrupt officials is nearly 20,000 taels! In other words, even if he is a third-grade official, he has to go without eating or drinking for forty years to save this net worth.

No wonder it is said that after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was able to loot 70 million taels of silver from the Beijing officials, and these corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty really had oil and water! He couldn't help but say in his heart, was he not ruthless enough?

Of course, this thought is just like that, Li Zicheng's bandit behavior ruined his Dashun Dynasty in just over a month.

Yu Xin said again: "It's just that the lord ordered me to allocate 500,000 taels to the household department for disaster relief, and in addition to all the silver money that has been copied out now, there is still a shortage of nearly 200,000 taels." And real estate, antiques and other things must be exchanged for cash in a moment......"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Jiayu's face next to him darkened. It was precisely because he was not effective in recovering the "subsidized grain, rice, and silver" promised by the previous officials that the auxiliary king ordered that the confiscated silver should be taken to disaster relief first.

It was he who caused trouble to Yu Xin. He immediately arched his hand and said: "My lord, my subordinates have now recovered 100,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 100,000 taels will be made up within three days, so as not to make it difficult for Chuang." ”

Zhu Linmiao frowned, after entering the city for so long, there are still five out of six people who have paid their debts. He asked Zhang Jiayu, "But what are the obstacles?" ”

Zhang Jiayu sighed, "These guys are just crying poor, but they are all courtiers, and their subordinates can only persuade each other with good words......"

Zhu Linmiao is so angry, these corrupt officials have a fortune of 10,000 taels, what's the matter? Seeing that Tianxing Mansion is too peaceful, there is no need to "subsidize the salary"?

He groaned slightly, motioned for Zhang Jiayu to come over with his ear, and whispered a whisper.

"This ......," Zhang Jiayu exclaimed, "is this appropriate?" ”

"What's wrong with paying off debts? That's it! ”

Zhang Jiayu took a breath and saluted, "Yes!" ”

While the three of them were talking, Shi Lin entered the study, saluted Zhu Linmiao and handed over a booklet, "My lord, I just arrived at the palace." It seems to be a great victory for Guangxin. ”

Zhu Lin hurriedly took the booklet with the word "Di Bao" printed on the cover and opened it, as Shi Lin said, it was the good news of the Broken Camp and Yang Tinglin's troops in Guangxin to break Liu Guangbi's army.

The day after the battalion arrived in Guangxin, under the command of Gu Yanwu, he cooperated with the Guangxi wolf soldiers to break through Liu Guangbi's camp.

Liu Guangbi had already received the news of the annihilation of the Qing army in Fujian, and it was when the morale was low, and its combat power was already inferior to the broken camp, so there was no suspense in the battle process, and the captive army fled under the first battle.

Zhu Youma's cavalry, which had long been lying on the flank, followed Liu Guangbi and chased fiercely, all the way to the north of Shangrao, and was encountering Dai Xiu's far part who was attacking the Jianyu grain road here.

Liu Guangbi was so anxious that when he ran to the vicinity of Raozhou, the 20,000 troops had been captured except for more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Han and Eight Banners.

Di Bao finally wrote that the king of Yongning and the Dai garrison were still chasing and defeating the enemy, and they were now close to Huizhou.

"Well played!" Zhu Linmiao handed over the report to Zhang Jiayu, "In this way, the soldiers who invaded the south have all been cleared, and there will be no more war in the whole territory of Jiangxi."

"Next, we will take advantage of Jianyu's inability to go south for a while, and deal with the internal problems of Daming as soon as possible."

He said and looked to the north, "After that, it's time for us to settle accounts with Jianyu!" ”

The news of Guangxin's victory soon spread all over Tianxing Mansion, and the people in the city were all running to tell each other, laughing and laughing in the city.

But at this time, Zhao Li, the left of the Imperial Palace, was at home in a panic commanding his subordinates, placing a letter of silver on the front of the door, and constantly urging the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army, "Master Jun, hurry up." ”

He couldn't help but be anxious, because several drummers and buglers of the Dragon Guard Army were making a lot of noise outside his house, attracting hundreds of people to watch. On the side, there were also officers who "explained" to these people in a loud voice, saying that he, Lord Zhao, owed the court 4,000 taels of silver, and this money was to be used to help the victims of southern Fujian, and the court sent them to ask for it.

Zhao Li couldn't help but point at himself as he looked at the lively crowd outside the mansion, his old face was flushed, but he was helpless about it - these were the soldiers of the Dragon Guard who were making trouble outside his house!

The bird gun in their hands is said to be able to release a sound in ten breaths, and the armor is completely broken within sixty steps, and thousands of Jianyu Xiaoqi are dead under this kind of gun.

Even the short sword carried on the gun is not vegetarian, it is said that the elite infantry armor of Jianzhou fought hand-to-hand with a knife, and it was also a stick of incense time, that is, it was stabbed all over the field.

Where can he afford to mess with these masters?! Mo said that he drove them away, even if he was not respectful to this soldier, he would not dare.

The family members and the martial artists in his family who used to show off their martial arts and martial artists in the courtyard had long been so frightened that they shrank behind the wall, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

These dragon guard soldiers made such a fuss in front of his house, and they didn't beat or curse people, but this battle embarrassed him a hundred times more than beating him.

After easily redeeming four thousand taels of silver, Zhao Li wiped the sweat on his head and hurriedly sent these soldiers away respectfully.

The leading officer still said in a loud voice: "Lord Zhao's arrears of four thousand taels of silver have been settled. Next, he went to the mansion of Yuan Youdao, the senator of the General Political Department. ”

Seeing the excitement, there was an immediate bang, and the tide rushed towards Yuan Youdao's house. In this era, the entertainment program is limited, who wants to let go of such a thing as watching the Dragon Guard collect debts?

The "debt collection" Long Weijun was still nearly two miles away from Senator Yuan's house, so he saw the housekeeper of Yuan's mansion hurriedly greet him with a few family members. They respectfully offered the arrears of 3,000 taels of "grain, rice, and silver", and then nodded and watched the soldiers move to the next place, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Shilang, you should quickly call back the soldiers under your command, this is too undignified for the imperial court." A middle-aged official said to Zhang Jiayu with an anxious face, "Oh, by the way, the silver promised by the lower official is outside the house......

Zhang Jiayu shook his head slightly, and said in his heart that the method of the auxiliary prince was very effective, and only sent more than 30 soldiers out, and in this half a day, he had basically collected all the silver taels owed by the officials.

"The court is decent?" He said with a straight face: "The victims of the disaster in southern Fujian have no food relief, this is the most undignified of the imperial court!" ”

"Yes, yes......"

Just after Shen Shi, Zhang Jiayu happily went to the auxiliary palace to pay the errand.

When he entered the palace study, he saw His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King frowning, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what are you ......?"

Zhu Linmiao handed over a telegram, and when he saw it, his expression immediately became solemn.
