"A young minister who has 1,300,000 taels of silver in his home, and countless other rare treasures, actually has the nerve to say that his family has nothing but nothing but a breeze?"
"Did the strong wind bring this money?"
"honest and upright official?"
"That's ridiculous."
"Look at the numbers above, do you still have the nerve to claim that you are an upright official? I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Han Lin looked at the officials angrily.
When he saw these figures yesterday, he immediately laughed angrily when he thought about Qi's taxes.
This kind of country bug occupies a powerful position.
He actually had the nerve to call him a foolish king.
"Your Majesty, I realize my mistake."
"Your Majesty, considering that Wei Chen has served the country for so many years and has toiled hard even without merit, please spare Wei Chen."
"Your Majesty, please show mercy. I am willing to hand over all my family property."
Everyone whose name was on the list knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Only less than a quarter of the civil and military officials in the entire hall remained standing.
Those who begged for mercy were crying and howling.
Han Lin had no expression on his face and just looked at them coldly.
At this time,
The system prompt sounded suddenly.
【Ding! 】
[Discover the mission. 】
[A large number of corrupt officials have been detected, please host to make a choice. 】
[Choice 1: Confiscate the property and kill them all! Reward: Complete the Dongchang organization and initially possess 3,000 Dongchang fanzi. 】
[Option 2: Require all family property to be handed over and continue to be hired. Reward: Being praised by the people for being kind-hearted]
Looking at the system prompts,
Han Lin was speechless.
It seems like there are two options, but what is the second one?
A kindhearted person?
Do you need this thing yourself?
Moreover, these corrupt officials will be killed immediately.
Let them continue to be greedy.
As for those family properties, they all belong to you after you kill them.
After making a choice in your mind,
Han Lin directly ordered: "Shen Kuang! Kill all these corrupt officials, leaving no one behind!"
"At the same time, all property will be confiscated and transferred to the national treasury. All the beautiful women in the family will be sent to the priest's office."
The moment he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded again.
"No!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"I know I was wrong, but please show mercy to your majesty."
The officials kneeling on the ground cried loudly to Han Lin, hoping that Han Lin would let them go.
Outside the palace,
The Jin Yiwei who had received the order had already filed in.
Don't give them the chance to continue begging for mercy,
He stood up and walked out of the palace.
Immediately afterwards, screams came from outside the hall.
at the same time,
In the homes of these officials,
Jin Yiwei has already started ransacking the house.
"who are you?"
"What are you doing? Do you know where this place is?"
"My master is the emperor of the current dynasty, so you can give it a try!"
The servant, who was already used to being arrogant, kept shouting at Jin Yiwei.
But what they received were cold embroidered spring knives.
"Your Majesty has ordered that all property be seized and anyone who dares to obstruct it will be killed without mercy!"
Such a scene,
Appeared in various places in Linzi City at the same time.
........
Ye Mansion.
heard the noise,
Ye Qingqiu came out of the room and saw people with weapons coming in and out of the palace opposite.
At the same time, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were also moved out.
Ye Qingqiu asked: "Father, what happened?"
Ye Jinglong shook his head.
It was only after he heard the noise that he came out to see what was going on.
Ye Qingqiu stepped forward and asked a member of the Imperial Guard who was commanding a raid on his home: "Brother, what did the Wang family do?"
The uniformed guard general snorted coldly and said: "Corruption and bribery, and the amount is huge. Your Majesty is furious and ordered us to investigate these corrupt officials."
After answering, he shouted to the people who were moving: "Hurry up and move them, there are still several houses waiting for us to search."
Ye Qingqiu: "..."
Corruption and house confiscation?
Why didn't this happen in the previous life?
Ye Qingqiu was confused.
In her impression, Han Lin and those corrupt officials in his previous life were like a snake and a rat.
In the later stages,
Han Lin, who was extravagant and lustful, emptied the national treasury, was no longer satisfied with corruption, and directly began to raise taxes.
Excessive taxation and extortion.
The taxes paid to the people of Qi gradually increased from the previous 30% to 70%.
There are also various head taxes, land taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes.
The people of Qi State were miserable.
this matter,
It directly became the trigger of the uprising.
Ye Qingqiu clearly remembered that she led her army to attack Linzi City.
The assets confiscated from the homes of those corrupt officials amounted to tens of millions of taels of silver.
There are countless other valuable calligraphy and paintings, antiques, gold and silver jewelry.
Especially on the Golden Bird Stage,
Han Lin's wealth is comparable to the tax revenue of Qi State in ten years.
So Ye Qingqiu couldn't figure out why Han Lin suddenly raided corrupt officials.
She naturally knew that most of the ministers in the DPRK were corrupt and sycophantic.
But in his previous life, Han Lin did not act like this at all.
Has history been changed by yourself?
It shouldn't be.
Since his rebirth,
Apart from persuading his father, he had done nothing.
How can history be changed by yourself?
And she had witnessed how stupid and cruel Han Lin was.
He is dissolute and immoral, kills loyal people indiscriminately, is arrogant and extravagant, and loves great achievements.
All idioms that can be used on faint kings and tyrants can be directly applied to Han Lin.
How could he suddenly change his temper and search for corrupt officials to rectify the court?
Ye Qingqiu, who was puzzled, found Ye Jinglong.
I hope he can use his connections to find out what happened in the court.
In fact, she didn’t need to say it.
After learning that Han Lin was searching for corrupt officials, Ye Jinglong had already sent someone to find out the details.
.........
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After all the corrupt officials have been cleared,
The entire hall seemed a little empty.
Many officials were still trembling as they stood there.
As for the high officials of the imperial court, only Taiwei Yuan Kang, Situ Wang Lang, Sikong Guo Kai, Hubu Shangshu Song Kang, Libu Shangshu, etc. were only a few dozen people.
This is not to say that these people are free from corruption and bribery.
But these big officials are all from aristocratic families.
Even if the family has huge wealth, it can still explain the past.
As for the many officials below, it can be said that more than half of them are missing.
"Your Majesty, if we lose so many court officials all at once, I'm afraid there will be problems in the operation of the court."
When everything calmed down, Yuan Kang suddenly spoke out.
It's just that his face doesn't look very good now.
After what happened just now, Yuan Kang's perception of Han Lin has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Just when Han Lin ordered them all to be killed,
It's not that he hasn't thought about interceding for those people.
Many people inside are disciples of the Yuan family.
But when he saw Han Lin's cold and ruthless face and the murderous Jin Yiwei, he gave up the idea.
camouflage!
Everything in front is definitely a disguise.
Just to confuse them.
Why is he obsessed with women in the palace? The little emperor is definitely planning all this these days.
Otherwise, how could so many Jin Yiwei people suddenly appear?
Any construction of a brothel is definitely a pretense.
Just to use the construction of the brothel to raise the issue of corruption.
Finally, with the power of thunder, he swept away dissidents and cleaned up the court.
Your Majesty is really good at it!
After seeing Han Lin's decisive killing side, Yuan Kang finally understood that what Han Lin did before was for everything today.
He just wants to clean up the court and hold all the power in his hands.
Yuan Kang, who thought he wanted to understand everything, could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach even if he saw the disciples of the Yuan family having their homes confiscated and their ancestors destroyed.
Facing such a decisive emperor, he did not dare to have any thoughts now.
"It doesn't matter. We have a lot of talents in Daqi. We just need to find some new people to fill these vacancies."
Han Lin glanced at Yuan Kang lightly and said in a calm voice.
"In addition, from now on, all Daqi officials will have their monthly salaries tripled. But again, I don't want to see this happen again."
At this time,
A royal guard hurriedly walked in.
Present a booklet to Han Lin.
"Your Majesty, all the property of all officials involved in the world has been confiscated. This is the specific amount."
"Forty-six million taels of silver?"
"Haha, it's a little worse than the officials of the Ming Dynasty."
Han Lin smiled, put the book aside, and then said: "These silver coins will be put into the national treasury. As for the other precious antique albums, all will be moved to the palace."
