Yu Xiaotian knew this, when he just grasped the power, he immediately issued an order in the name of Chongzhen, strictly investigate anyone in the customs to transport grain outside the customs, and sent a brigade of elite soldiers and horses out of Juyong Pass, straight into Xuanda and other places, blocking all the passages leading to the outside of the pass, strictly inspecting the passing personnel and vehicles, but if anyone is found trying to smuggle grain or iron tools out of the customs, they will be questioned in the name of collaborating with the enemy.

After he took power, he directly issued an order in the name of Chongzhen, sent the supervision of the imperial history and a group of Yu Jiajun who had just changed into the waist card of the brocade guard, and drove directly into Shanxi, and ordered the governor of Shanxi, Wu Fu, to cooperate and carry out a purge of the Jin merchants in Shanxi.

According to the local details and the people's reports, a total of more than 30 Jin merchants, once or is doing such trade, and there are more than a dozen Jin merchants, are so rich that they can be called rich and rival the country, and the result is that Yu Xiaotianxia decreed, the more than 30 Jin merchants, adults and above were all copied, and all the family wealth and land and mansions were confiscated.

At the same time, according to the confessions of these profiteers, some officials and generals in the Xuanfu, Datong government, and the military who participated in the collusion of profiteers to secretly trade with Jiannu and the Mongols were also arrested, and this time they were all uprooted, arrested and beheaded, and their family wealth was also confiscated.

This time the purge, for Xiaotian, the harvest is quite rich, the cash seized out of the silver alone is as high as millions of taels, plus the confiscated real estate land, converted, the value has doubled, in addition to these thieves and giants, a large amount of grain has been copied out, many of which have even been moldy, the total number is as high as 300,000 stones, just these grains, has greatly alleviated the problem of food shortage in Shanxi and a considerable area of the surrounding area.

These people who have brought disaster to the country and the people, after being caught, the quick trial and quick sentence will not be delayed until the autumn and beheaded, all of them will be directly dragged out and chopped, and the killing is the head of the people, which is not very happy, and the people who heard the news heard the news, and many people rushed to the execution ground to watch the beheading, and they all clapped their hands and applauded, so that Yu Xiaotian once again won the hearts of the people.

Although many of the people who do these things are still former officials, after changing the heads, they have swept away the procrastination of the past one by one, and they have done things in a slippery manner, and few people dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates anymore.

The reason is very simple, they all saw the difference between Yu Xiaotian and Chongzhen, although Chongzhen did kill a lot of ministers after he ascended the throne, but he had some scruples, and many times he would be swayed by the advice of the ministers, and he could not completely act according to his ideas, so don't look at him He also killed some ministers, but it could not really effectively deter these officials.

Moreover, the relationship between the officials is complicated, the officials protect each other, and many times what they do, so that Chongzhen is not clear, so they dare to say one thing and do another, just because they are too familiar with the routines of the previous officialdom, and they have no fear in doing things, and there is really no way, so they make procrastination, drag things down, and drag Huang down, and the efficiency of the entire Ming officialdom is very low.

But after Yu Xiaotian entered Beijing and controlled the imperial court, the officials at first wanted to use the old method, if they could delay, they would delay, and if they couldn't delay, they had to find a way to deal with Yu Xiaotian, but they soon found that now this trick they made was not successful, because they found that Yu Xiaotian's personality was very different from the previous emperor.

Yu Xiaotian never saves face for anyone in his work, and many things that are ordered to be done immediately must be done immediately, if anyone wants to resist or drag it out, then he will soon be taken down, or he will be directly put into prison, or he will be immediately evaporated from the world, and he will not even be able to find the body.

Either be put on a construction site somewhere, the leather whip waits for what to do tiredly, what to suffer, after cleaning up, bring it back to another place for them to continue to do, after the average person is tossed down by such a pass, they will eat a trench and grow wise, and they will no longer dare to procrastinate.

In addition, the methods they used to deceive and conceal are not good now, they think that some things are done seamlessly, but they were soon found out by the above, so someone found out that Yu Xiaotian seems to have another set of methods to monitor them, and they don't seem to be able to hide what they do, so they can only do things honestly.

Moreover, they found that Yu Xiaotian's methods were ten times more vicious than Chongzhen, and Chongzhen's murder still needed a high-sounding reason and process, but as long as Yu Xiaotian caught some people's feet, he never showed mercy.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian is very familiar with some of the greedy and customary methods commonly used by local officials, and often when he gives orders, he has already blocked their back roads, so that they can't find a better way to say that they can't do it or can't do it.

Just because of the year of Xiaotian's reign, the entire Ming Dynasty was hunted and killed by Yu Xiaotian as many as tens of thousands of officials, almost all the officials in almost all places have been sorted out, and the replacement of people has been changed, and the places that should be moved have been moved, so that those officials in the officialdom are all in danger, and they must be having fun if they want to continue to mess around in the future, either work honestly, or wait to wash their necks and let Yu Xiaotian send someone to cut them.

The officials in the officialdom complained about this and complained, but Yu Xiaotian turned a blind eye to their complaints.

So some self-righteousness, thinking that they have a lot of ability, and they can't do a lot of things without them, so they put on a posture of giving up their own people, and simply resigned, wanting to use the method of resignation to force Yu Xiaotian to pay attention to their opinions, for these self-righteous guys, Yu Xiaotian never retained.

Are you resigning? Forbid! If you want to resign and return to your hometown, there is no door, so you can directly deduct a big hat that is arrogant and arrogant and disrespectful, and you will be demoted to a civilian in the end, and you will be assigned to the frontier to do coolies! If you want to go back to your hometown to retire, don't count on it, and you will die in the border town.

In fact, some people suffered a big loss because of this incident, and originally wanted to use resignation to blackmail them, but they couldn't do it, but they pitted themselves to the border town to raise pigs and sheep, and some people were dismissed, and after some people were dismissed, they would be dug deep, and few of the officials had clean buttocks, and they could dig out a lot of evidence of their corruption, but they didn't even have the opportunity to go to the border town to herd sheep.

According to Yu Xiaotian's statement in the court, there are more people who want to be officials in this world, and there are more people who have the ability, as long as there are vacant seats, there are people who are willing to do it, and it is certain that the newly selected people will definitely do a better job than the previous people.

Yu Xiaotian's words soon flew to all parts of the Ming Dynasty as if they had wings, and the officials felt chills in their hearts after hearing it, knowing that when they met such unreasonable guys as Yu Xiaotian, the routines they used before had failed, and now Yu Xiaotian set up the carriage and horses, letting them know that if you want to continue to be an official, there is absolutely no problem, as long as you are obedient and work hard, and do what he told Yu Xiaotian, then even if they had a little bad deeds in the past, they can not blame the past, just as if it never happened, But don't say one thing and do another, otherwise you can continue to be an official.

But if you guys want to be officials and don't want to do a good job, and you still want to be a monk for a day like before, and rely on being an official to get money for yourself, then I'm sorry, Lao Tzu has a knife in his hand, and if you can't kill one, you can kill two until you find a suitable person to do this job.

Under such thunderous means of Xiaotian, the atmosphere of officialdom has changed greatly in less than a year, under normal circumstances, as long as the hand of the Yu family can reach, the local officials have become much more diligent and self-disciplined, once the above requirements are issued, one by one runs fast, and they no longer dare to deceive and hide one thing and do one thing as before.

Of course, this is also limited to some areas that can be touched by Yu Xiaotian's force for the time being, after all, Yu Xiaotian's reign has been in power for a short time, and the force of the Yu family army has not been able to penetrate all over the Ming Dynasty soon, like some deep inland or remote places, for the time being, they have not yet felt Yu Xiaotian's power, and they continue to maintain their old style, perfunctory Yu Xiaotian.

But Yu Xiaotian was not in a hurry, he first focused on the coastal provinces and the Central Plains and northern provinces, the coastal southeast provinces, which are the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, the most economically developed, and the annual money and grain taxes collected occupy the bulk of the Ming Dynasty's revenue.

Therefore, after he took office, he successively found a reason for the governors of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces to dismiss their officials, and replaced them with people he thought were obedient to take power, and then began to clean up the prefects and governors at the state capital level, and successively arrested and killed a group of people, removed a group, and replaced them with a group of people who had been excluded or depressed in the officialdom before to take office.

Yu Xiaotian is also familiar with such a way of playing with a big stick in one hand and carrots in the other, first killing those guys who didn't listen to the greetings before, and then promoting a group of officials who wanted to take the position, but were excluded because of disagreement with the Donglin party and government, or they couldn't get the opportunity.

These people are not necessarily very capable, but they understand very well why they will be promoted and reused by Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian told them very clearly, you go to take office, nothing else, just ask you to be obedient and do things according to the rules, it is not your fault for lack of ability, but if you don't do it well, then it is your fault, Lao Tzu can kill your predecessor, then you can do it at any time, where to go, you can do it yourself.

As for the fact that you went to the local government to take office, and the implementation of the new policy encountered the obstacles of the local tycoon or the powerful, then it doesn't matter, there is Lao Tzu to support you, and it is inconvenient to do them, so you act secretly, in short, in order to implement his new policy, no matter what resistance you encounter, if you don't listen to your good words, then use a butcher's knife to open the way.

Therefore, after the southeastern provinces in Xiaotian, he was the first to be accused in his hands, originally he started in Fujian, Fujian has long been in his pocket, and the implementation of the new policy is also the easiest, as for Liangguang and Zhejiang, after so many years, his tentacles have already penetrated deep into these places, and now he finally took the risk to seize power in one fell swoop, so there is naturally not much problem in taking these places.
