Chapter 1428 Developed

Xin Han copied two close ministers who Chongzhen thought would be impossible to be corrupt. As a result, the copied money, including cash assets, totaled more than eight million taels.

What he did was called proofing, and he was teaching Chongzhen how to make a fortune.

Chongzhen can be said to be the poorest emperor in history. It is said that in order to prepare for military pay against Li Chuang, he even sold all the treasures in the palace, and even sold some palace flags and ginseng for cash. Say how useless the emperor is.

But now with Xin Han, everything is different. Chongzhen who sees silver is like a hungry wolf who has seen blood. Only after copying it can I be reconciled.

Of course, Chongzhen just thought about it, if he copied all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, not to mention the chaos in the world, first of all, he would not be able to pass the cabinet.

Facing Chongzhen's concerns, Xin Han chuckled: "Then even the cabinet elders will copy it together!"

The next day, he threw Chongzhen several thick rosters, which recorded in detail the specific situation of the civil and military corruption of the Manchu Dynasty, with detailed records in every stroke, all of which were recorded by Jin Yiwei secret agents over the years.

All these things were suppressed by the previous Jinyiwei commanders, just because these commanders themselves were greedy, so this is the first time Chongzhen has seen them.

He looked carefully and found that in addition to corrupt officials, the booklet also marked clean officials, and specifically marked the officials' disposition and ability.

So as long as you hold these rosters, you will know who is loyal and who is traitor, who is greedy, who is clean, who is a capable minister, and who is a vegetarian.

Immediately, he drove the emperor mad with anger: "They are all my good subjects..."

If he could have been placed on this roster from Jin Yiwei back then, Yuan Chonghuan would not have been wronged at all, so in that incident, Jin Yiwei also had guilt that could not be washed away.

Xin Han said directly to Chongzhen: "Arrest all the greedy ones, ransack their homes to make a fortune, and find clean and honest officials among the six ministries. Don't look at these people who are usually excluded, but they are the ones who do the real things. You Don't worry, with these ministers here, the court will not be in chaos, nor will the world be in chaos!"

Zhu Youjian is actually a smart person, but when the emperor was deceived by the people below for too long, when Xin Han mentioned it, he naturally understood this truth, and immediately showed joy, and said by analogy:

"In this way, the court in the capital will be mobilized first, and then the local officials will be mobilized, and the entire court will be completely cleaned up in one fell swoop!"

Xin Han lazily said: "I can't take care of this, but Brother Zhu, shouldn't it be time to do what you promised me?"

Zhu Youjian's face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart: "Of course, but Brother Xin, you are full of tricks, so you should give me advice on how to attack those corrupt officials..."

"Why do I think you are scolding me?"

In the early morning of the next day, Chongzhen suddenly decreed to exempt the world from taxes for three years, and imposed all exorbitant taxes to allow the people of Ming Dynasty to recuperate.

This decree touched the interests of many people. Immediately, headed by several cabinet elders, all courtiers objected.

Their reason is nothing more than years of wars and continuous natural disasters, resulting in an empty treasury. If taxes are exempted for another three years, the court will not be able to support it.

Chongzhen said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I plan to call on all courtiers to raise donations for the country, and I believe that there are dear ministers who will share my worries!"

A cabinet elder came out of shift to speak, and said hoarsely:

"Your Majesty, the ministers are all clean and honest people. They have always been clean and hard-working. Even if they donate all their family properties, they can only collect thousands of taels of furniture. Even if all the officials in the court donate their family properties, I am afraid It’s not enough to pay for the imperial court’s money and food for a year!”

Chongzhen looked at the elder Ge whom he respected in the past, and sneered in his heart. He saw the name of this old man on the roster yesterday. His family property is in the millions, and he is sixty-nine this year. The Xie of the house, that Xie was redeemed from the hook with 30,000 taels of silver, now it is said that the family property is only a few thousand, which is really abhorrent.

For a while, most of the people in the court held the same opinion as the old man, only a few honest and upright officials were willing to donate their family property.

Chongzhen's eyes swept across the court, and he said in his heart: "You can't live if you have committed a crime!" Immediately, he took a sip of the tea offered by the eunuch, as if he lost his hand, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

At this time, Xin Han stepped into the court hall, followed by hundreds of Jin Yiwei, most of them were people he pulled from the grassroots, all of them were skilled in martial arts.

"Commander Xin, what are you doing? You brought troops into the palace. This is a serious crime of treason. Your Majesty, please punish him!"

Xin Han was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, he casually pointed forward with his hand, and behind him, more than a hundred guards in brocade robes rushing into the palace and restraining the courtiers.

Xin Han chuckled softly and said: "Don't panic, everyone. In the future, we will come up with another law in Ming Dynasty. If you have to explain the origin of private property, if the family property is rich, but you can't explain the origin, it is a crime of 'huge wealth. The crime of unknown origin' will be punished by beheading and confiscating the family!"

"Don't worry, everyone. In order to prove that you are all innocent, I have sent someone to your lord's residence just now to count the specific property and return your lord's innocence. I believe there will be a result soon!"

At this time, the faces of most of the courtiers changed color, and some of the officials slammed at Xin Han, saying "boldness", "wanting to rebel", "crime of deceiving the emperor", and some people pointed at him and yelled at him.

Xin Han said to those Jin Yiwei who had just been taken back by him: "I am a small-minded person, if anyone scolds me, they will knock out all the teeth in my mouth!"

Those wolf-like Jin Yiwei immediately showed ferocious smiles, pulled out the Xiuchun knife from their waist, and used the handle of the knife to hit the courtier who had scolded Xin Han before, his mouth was full of blood , A tooth is not left to give up.

Zhu Youjian asked Xie Jian to show Xin Han a seat, and the latter did not refuse to go over and sit down and drink tea.

After a while, a deputy commander of Jinyiwei ran into the palace, first greeted Chongzhen, and then called Xin Han 'dudu', leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear, and presented some papers up.

Xin Han took it over and took a look, then he chuckled: "Mr. Huang Ge, you have 500,000 taels of silver hidden in your home, and more than 300,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry. Could you please explain the source of these properties?"

That old Huang Ge pointed at Xin Han: "You..." He just said the word 'you', then suddenly he clutched his chest and took a few steps back, as if he was ill.

Xin Han put away his smiling face, and suddenly his face became gloomy: "That can't be explained!"

He snorted coldly: "Old Huang Ge has a huge amount of property, and the source is unknown. According to the new law, he will be beheaded and confiscated!"

After Xin Han finished speaking, he turned to the two Jinyi guards who were guarding Huang Ge's side: "Cut!"

That old Huang Ge was so frightened that he lost his soul, and exclaimed to Chongzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty..."

Just then, the Jinyiwei on his right pulled out the Xiuchun knife in an instant, and chopped off the old man's head together.

Where did these ministers pass by, those who had ghosts in their hearts were so frightened that their legs trembled and their bodies were like sifting chaff.

On this day, more than 60% of the civil and military officials in the court were beheaded, and the court was stained with blood, and the evil spirit rushed to the sky.

On this day, all the officials fell down, Chongzhen was full, and the wealth obtained by ransacking the house in one day turned out to be tens of millions of taels of silver.

You must know that the tax revenue of the Chongzhen Dynasty in recent years has only been four to five million taels of silver. How could he not be happy.

On this day, Xin Han got a million merit points for killing Zhang Xianzhong and ransacking his home. In addition, he gained nearly three million merit points for killing Zhang Xianzhong before, so he can finally exchange for some decent things.

And I believe that when the imperial decree of 'three-year tax exemption' spreads to all directions of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a large amount of merit points gathered in the follow-up, which is really developed!
