Chapter 467: The Emperor Falls and the Emperor is Full
The thunder shot in the front town of Nanjing, let people see the iron-blooded side of the emperor in front of them again, this emperor is simply a mystery, he has a natural good impression of the poor people at the bottom, reduce the endowment, exempt from endowment, and even from Beijing to Nanjing, many poor people, the portrait of the emperor is raised, and he is a Buddha of ten thousand families! But for these nobles and magnates, it is completely different, iron and ruthless, once someone commits it in his hands, even if he does not die, he will shed his skin!
From the time he was in Beijing to the current enthronement in Nanjing, along the way, the nobles and magnates who died in his hands are only afraid that they have already exceeded 100, and the prestige of this Yama King is dyed with the blood of the nobles!
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jie sat high above, and below was the ministers bowing and standing, and the morning of the day began again.
Hubu Shangshu Hou bowed and said: "Your Majesty, four days ago, all the nobles and wealthy merchant families who committed the crime have been disposed of. ”
Hou Sui was a little apprehensive in his heart, the so-called companion is like a tiger, this time it really made Hou Sui see, this emperor looks graceful and generous on weekdays, approachable, but once he has a murderous intention, he will never be soft, and it is a piece of people to the ground, dozens of families, together, more than 2,000 people, all of them will be exiled to Yunnan or Qiongzhou Island, it is really turning over for the clouds, covering the hands for rain, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can compete with the emperor who has just ascended the throne, Zhu Jie is not only too powerful, the same, This method is also very good, and without making a sound, he has already held all the handles of these nobles and businessmen in his hands, and suddenly thundered out, and it was a complete success!
However, now Hou Sui is more excited, more than 30 families in Nanjing City, either noble or rich, all of them have been copied in one breath, the wealth involved is too huge, even if only half of this wealth has to be sent to the treasury, it is an astronomical amount! At least in the coming year, I don't have to worry about the money and food of the court anymore.
How much wealth do you have? Hou Sui as the head of the household, is naturally clear, more than 30 more, silver alone has confiscated 10 million taels, gold more than 200,000 taels, as for other fields, shops, treasures and antiques are countless, these families have gone through more than a hundred years or even more than two hundred years of wealth accumulation, this number is naturally terrible to the extreme!
What Hou Sui sent up was not a piece of music, more than a dozen noble and more than 20 wealthy businessmen, all of them confiscated their family property, and the wealth involved was unknown, and it was not even one or two books that could explain it clearly.
"Lord Hou, I won't read these pieces for the time being, can you tell me, how much wealth has been confiscated?"
Zhu Jie said lightly.
Hou Xun said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this time the property of each family was confiscated, and a total of 10,730,000 taels of silver were confiscated; two hundred twenty-three thousand two hundred fifty taels of gold; 2,43,450 acres of fertile land; There are 50 mansions, 2,340 houses, 6 silk houses, 7 tea houses, 16 wineries, 3 green houses, 11 pawnshops, and 4 grain shops......"
Hou Sui kept spitting out a string of numbers in his mouth, even Zhu Jie was a little shocked, these people, crying poor every day, asking for grace from the court, asking for tax exemption from the court, once this Nima is all exposed, how terrible it is, too solid, even he didn't think of it at all!
"Stop, stop! Alright, Lord Hou! ”
Zhu Jie's face was a little unsightly, and he said coldly: "Cheng Rijie and these people are crying poverty to the court one by one, and they all tell the court that they are difficult to operate and live a difficult life, and now, you all listen to the numbers that the adults have exploded?" One family after another, often with a family property of more than one million taels! It seems that in the future, I don't need to collect taxes from the common people, and it will be enough for the imperial court to spend a few powerful families every year......"
Poof! Poof! ……
Above the main hall, there was a sound of kneeling down - "The ministers are guilty, the emperor is angry, the emperor is angry......"
I'm a mother, it seems that the emperor hasn't copied it yet!
I copied tens of millions of taels of silver in one go, and I haven't enjoyed it yet, in case this butcher's knife falls on my head, it's unlucky, no one wants to find bad luck, not to mention, how many officials in the world are as honest as Shi Kefa? Most of them are small pigtails and grab a handful, it's okay if you don't catch them, once you investigate, nine and a half out of ten have to go in!
"Humph!"
Zhu Jie snorted coldly: "The so-called gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, and I also like money, but to make money, you must be frank and upright, if you only know how to loot the people's fat and ointment, forcibly seize it, and use your power for personal gain, you all listen well, don't let me know, I know one, then clean up one, what Lao Tzu hates most is not the people who take advantage of the court, but the people who fight those poor people who are cheap!" I hope you all do it for yourself, and don't let me kill again! ”
Warning, naked warning!
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang used a stream of blood to show people that corrupt officials must die, and used bloody killings to exchange the Ming Dynasty for a clear political situation.
"The ministers are guilty, the ministers are guilty!!"
The courtiers in the court were sweating one by one, and they were terrified to listen.
"Hou Sui, pass the decree, confiscate the property of Jing Guogong and other families, all the silver and gold are sent to the treasury, and they are registered one by one, you must keep an eye on this matter, there is a little leak, I ask you!"
"Yes!"
Hou Sui was overjoyed, he originally thought that the emperor would charge some of the gold and silver into the inner treasury, but he didn't expect it to be all sent to the treasury, and now the burden on his shoulders is a lot easier!
"Also, all the treasures are collected by the household department and taken out for pawn sale, as long as it is not a prohibited position, the government and the opposition, anyone can buy it, and all the proceeds from the pawn sale will also be collected into the treasury! All the land deeds are handed over to the inner government, registered and registered, these fields are used as imperial villages, and we have wars to fight in the future, and these fields are reserved for the soldiers in front of the ......"
Sun Chuanting's heart was shocked, now he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he knows the meaning of the emperor's words, that is, the confiscated more than 2 million acres of fertile land will be rewarded to the soldiers who have contributed to the country in the future, which is not a small grace!
"The courtiers and grandsons, the 100,000 soldiers who fought on behalf of the front, thank you Lord Longen, my emperor is wise, my emperor is wise......"
From ancient times to the present, there are emperors who love money, there are also lustful emperors, and there are even baby emperors like the Emperor of the Apocalypse who like to live with wood, but, like Zhu Jie, the emperor who loves the soldiers to the bone is really rare!
