"Some people, if you kill one, they start to make a noise, kill two, they quarrel even more, but when you kill a hundred, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, their mouths will suddenly close and they will not dare to say anything anymore!"

Li Xiake sat in the hall of the East Factory, his voice was clear and slow, without the slightest emotional fluctuation: "And you will find that the more you shout for loyalty to the country on weekdays, the softer your knees will be, incredibly soft, and even shockingly soft." ”

Li Xiake said with a smile: "Brother Cao, do you see the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people are not greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Cao Shaoqin didn't quite believe Li Xiake's remarks: "Brother Li, I have also handled a lot of cases, not to mention anything else, some scholars are indeed very backbone, I still admire this, you said that they are all bad seeds, I don't agree with this." ”

Li Xiake smiled: "That's because you have killed too few and framed too many officials!"

Cao Shaoqin smiled and bowed his head silently.

In recent years, in order to dominate the dynasty, he has listed a lot of crimes, and some civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are people with unclean buttocks, can be killed or not, all of them have been sent to prison, and some of them have been tortured and tortured in every possible way, just to make these people submit.

In his arrest, some people gave in, and some people never bowed their heads until death, although Cao Shaoqin was angry with these people, he really admired their hard bones in his heart.

There is a kind of person, even if it is an enemy, will give birth to a thumbs up to express admiration, although the current Ming Dynasty is a bit unusual, but there is no shortage of people who are really virtuous and virtuous.

"Don't suppress them all, there are many officials in the DPRK and China who still want to attach themselves to you, don't refuse them, as long as these people take refuge in us and help us deal with the rest of the scholars, hehe, I'm afraid they are more ruthless than our Dongchang!"

Cao Shaoqin thought so: "Yes, when a traitor deals with his own people, he is indeed more ruthless than anyone else!"

Li Xiake's murderous nature was so great that Cao Shaoqin was shocked: "Let's let them fight in the nest, but if we kill all these soldiers, the country will have a big problem." ”

Li Xiake smiled: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry! Kill too much, kill too fast, it's not easy to clean up, but as long as you follow this idea all the way forward, hehe, there should be no problem in killing a prosperous dynasty!"

The two discussed this matter for more than ten days, and thought of the follow-up things one by one, and then began to act.

At the suggestion of Li Xiake, Cao Shaoqin took control of Yingzong, and began to nominally be ordered by the emperor on the grounds that Yingzong was "sick and difficult to govern", but in essence he was the road of being an official who was implemented by his own ideas.

This is not the end, after advocating the rectification of the rule of officials, Cao Shaoqin also put forward the decision of "measuring the land in the world, regardless of the government and the opposition, all the commercial taxes".

At this time, there are not a few family members of officials in various places or officials themselves, but the business of these people basically will not pay any taxes and silver, especially in the southern provinces, which are rich in the trade of tea and silk and other large quantities of goods, and almost no taxes are collected, and even the taxes on the monopoly of salt and tea are almost none, and the few are pitiful.

In the Ming Dynasty, the business tax was pitiful, the so-called wealth was hidden from the people, and the local rich squires were fat and oily, but the treasury was so empty that they didn't even bother to enter.

On the contrary, the agricultural tax is not low, but it is the tax of the common people who have no power and powerlessness, and the tax of the large local households cannot be collected, and even if it is collected, it is only the meaning of the meaning, which is almost negligible.

When Cao Shaoqin proposed to "rectify the rule of officials", no one in the civil and military affairs had reason to oppose it, but when he was ready to collect commercial taxes and measure the land in the world, many people immediately jumped out, because it greatly touched their interests.

At this time, I saw the benefits of being a traitor and a powerful minister!

You don't agree? Okay, let's get it!

You're against it, and I'm going to arrest you!

There are still those who oppose it? Beat me hard! Beat them so hard that their buttocks bloom, and they can't go to court for half a year!

And whoever is against it, he will check it first, enter his home to investigate, and once he finds that the family's income is not equal to his income, he will immediately mention it to Dongchang for interrogation, which is almost a check.

Under the guidance of Li Xiake, these began to criticize these officials who hindered the reform and change of the law, listed their crimes one by one, and finally launched a vigorous propaganda campaign, all of which publicized the family income and ordinary people of these people who opposed the change of the law, and let the storyteller make up a joke and spread it all over the world.

Although there is a huge class gap at this time, many people dare not point fingers at the officials and make arbitrary comments, but there are also many people who listen to the propaganda, and hate the corrupt officials of the dynasty and curse in private.

"For these people, arresting them, killing them, this is not the solution to the problem, only if they stink, they are afraid, hehe......"

On top of the daily routine of the Dongchang Council, Li Xiake sat at the large desk specially built by people, and after listening to the reports of his subordinates on recent events, he smiled and said: "Aren't these sanctimonious guys the most face-saving?" Now let's tear off their faces and let everyone see their real faces, tsk, this must be very interesting!"

There is a regular meeting every day in the East Factory, which has been customized by Li Xiake's positioning, and every ten days of work, he will take a day off, and he is also positioned by Li Xiake.

The people of Dongchang were very unaccustomed to the meeting method formulated by Li Xiake at first, and they did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Li Xiake, but after a long time, everyone got used to it, after all, there is also a master at this conference table, but it cannot be said that there is no distinction between respect and inferiority.

"Since we have rectified the rule of officials, let's start with ourselves, Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, a few of you will hand over the silver and everything you embezzled, and Brother Cao, take out the silver money and treasures that the big guy received. ”

Li Xiake sat on a specially made circle chair and glanced at the big and small leaders of the Dongchang in the hall: "You said that you are all eunuchs, childless and daughterless, what do you want so much money for? ”

Li Xiake took out a wine jar and poured a glass of wine for everyone: "People live for a lifetime, sooner or later they will die, you have all enjoyed the wealth and glory, it is not interesting to enjoy it all the time, it is better to do something practical." ”

He laughed softly: "I don't let you enjoy it, and you can also not let others enjoy it, but there is one thing, you must remember to me, when investigating the case, you can't do anything to set up blame, and don't engage in assassination, seek truth from facts, what it should be, what it is, we have to be upright in everything we do, and we can't embarrass our East Factory!"

Li Xiake picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "If you can do it, then drink this cup to the full!"

The faces of the dozen or so people in the hall were not good-looking, and even Cao Shaoqin looked like he was in pain: "Really hand it over?"

Li Xia said: "What is the use of the things outside the body?"

Cao Shaoqin nodded and said, "That's what I said!"

He drank all the glass of wine that Li Xiake had poured down, and after putting down the glass, he shook his head and laughed: "I didn't expect me and my children in Dongchang to have the day of being a Qing official!"
