"poverty ?"
Shen Lian stood up, surrounded Wang Defa, lifted him up from the ground, and almost shouted in his ear.
"Are you poor? Your monthly salary of 5 silver coins is equivalent to the wages of an ordinary people's family.
In order to support you, His Majesty will allocate housing to you, with subsidies for food and accommodation, buses for travel, and free medical care!
Do you know that people cannot get 100% subsidies for these things? Did you know that the imperial court only provided 30% of housing subsidies to the people? Do you know that medical people can only supplement some medicinal materials and diseases?
Are you poor? If you are poor, there will be no poor people in the world! "
Shen Lian's loud shouts passed through the corridor, attracting a group of residents to watch.
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Shen Lian had no choice but to give up and waved his hand to let Wang Defa be taken away.
After Jin Yiwei left, the surrounding residents started talking.
"Did the King's Minister just be captured by the Jinyi Guards?"
"Can't you see this? I heard the leader of Jinyiwei said that Wang Defa is corrupt!"
"Corruption, isn't it? We live on the same floor as Wang Defa. He usually lives in poverty. I even gave him a barrel of oil..."
Everyone was talking a lot, some were eating melons, some were regretting sending rice grains to Wang De, and some were applauding as if they knew something about it.
As Wang Defa was taken away, some well-informed officials couldn't sit still and were thinking of ways to get people.
Although Wang Defa was only a small minister in the Ministry of Revenue, a year of corruption and cliques had affected a large number of senior officials.
The Ming Dynasty developed too fast, and the cabinet and the emperor kept their eyes on the European continent, which gave many internal officials opportunities for corruption.
Now that I see Jin Yiwei starting to investigate, the horrific memories from hundreds of years ago flood into my mind.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang massacred the founding fathers, the Ming Dynasty's Jin Yiwei has been active in hunting down corrupt officials.
Officials in the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of their superiors, but they were afraid of the Jinyiwei, especially the Jinyiwei who were only under the jurisdiction of Zhu Zaiming.
In a dilapidated courtyard in the countryside, a group of officials wrapped up their clothes and sat around a charcoal fire to discuss countermeasures.
"Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to investigate?"
"Your Majesty is just like that common man Zhu Yuanzhang. When the Ming Dynasty was at peace, he just wanted to kill us, the ministers who followed the dragon! This emperor of the old Zhu family just likes to go against us!"
"What should we do now? Jinyiwei has taken action. It is only a matter of time before we are found."
"The best way is to fish out Wang Defa. As long as Wang Defa doesn't confess, we can find a few scapegoats and the matter will be over."
Everyone gathered around the fire to think of a solution, and the firelight reflected everyone's frightened faces.
At this time, an official in a corner spoke.
"The person in charge of catering at the Jinling Hotel must be from the Ministry of Etiquette. Can we contact him?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
"You want to kill the king?"
"The emperor's son won't let us live, why can't we do something about him?"
"Yes, let's find an excuse for Zhu Zaiming to hold a meeting at the Jinling Hotel. By then..."
One day later, Zhu Zaiming was meeting with cabinet ministers in Huagai Hall, and a document was delivered to him.
"Proposal for Construction of Daming Coastal Highway".
When Zhu Zaiming saw this document, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Now is the time to prepare for the great purge, and these officials still have some unrealistic illusions.
Zhu Zaiming silently put down the documents and said to the cabinet ministers: "The Jin Yiwei is responsible for Wang Defa's case, so you don't have to worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cabinet minister jumped out and raised objections.
"Your Majesty, this case is very involved. Maybe there is something hidden in it? Wei Chen suggests that he be detained first until the Ministry of Punishments arranges for personnel to be heard together with Jin Yiwei."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if this matter involves Jin Yiwei, wouldn't it ruin a big thing?"
Once the first person steps up, there will be a second person.
Zhu Zaiming nodded to the ministers with a smile on his face and silently noted these people in his mind.
At the end of the discussion, some ministers even proposed to abolish the Jinyiwei and let the Ministry of Punishment take full responsibility for future supervision issues to facilitate management.
Good guy, after the meeting, Zhu Zaiming couldn't figure out how these ministers dared to propose this to him.
"Am I too young? Or am I too nice to the officials? Or maybe I have a kind face?"
Zhu Zaiming couldn't figure it out.
That night, Zhu Zaiming secretly summoned the group of old brothers, including Kong Er, Shen Yulong and other senior generals, and held a small meeting in the harem.
Lin Zhiwei was rocking the crib in the corner, while Lin Zhirao and Anna were lying on the side with their big bellies.
Zhu Zaiming and a group of old brothers gathered around a table and discussed quietly.
"The reason why they can be so bold is because they have so many people involved in the imperial court, which makes them emboldened."
Dong Zhiwei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stroked his beard, and Hao Ren, the Minister of Punishment next to him, rolled his eyes at him.
As the outspoken man among the old brothers, he directly ridiculed Dong Zhiwei.
"Old antique, all the officials from top to bottom in the Ming Dynasty have to go through your official department. Are you ashamed that you have recruited such a group of people?"
"you……"
Dong Zhiwei was so angry that he pulled out two strands of his beard.
"Can you blame me? The lower-level officials teamed up to fool me. The information I got was distorted and I couldn't tell the difference.
It's you, old Hao Ren, where is your Ministry of Punishment's inspection team? Why are you all singing praises? "
Hao Ren couldn't hold himself any longer.
His face turned red and he quickly explained to Zhu Zaiming.
"Your Majesty, you know me. I am a straightforward person, and everything I want to do is written on my face. I really don't know how the people below are working together."
Zhu Zaiming looked at Dong Zhiwei.
Dong Zhiwei spoke immediately.
"Your Majesty, you also know me. I'm good at theory, but I'm not as good as my subordinates if I actually go to the front line to practice."
Zhu Zaiming looked at Qin Yuan, the Minister of Rites, who pointed at him with wide eyes.
"Your Majesty, you know that I am a bit glib and my thoughts are a little twisted, but I am loyal to Your Majesty..."
Zhu Zaiming looked at Kong Er and Shen Yulong, both of whom were calm and composed.
"Your Majesty, you know us. We never participate in government affairs. If your Majesty asks us to hit anyone, we will pounce on him without saying a word!"
Zhu Zaiming nodded, looked around and said.
"You are all old brothers, and I can see that we were still able to manage things well in Australia back then, but after regaining our homeland, the huge territory forced you to delegate your powers, which led to today's situation."
Not only did it decentralize power, but Ming Dynasty suddenly accepted many officials from the previous dynasty when it was pursuing peaceful evolution.
Even these officials from the previous dynasty still have their connections, and it is easy for them to collude after they gain power.
Zhu Zaiming looked back at the sleepy figures and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Old Dong, if I uproot these officials, can you find enough officials to fill the vacancies?"
Dong Zhiwei replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry. There are not many others in the world. There are a lot of people who want to be officials. I can arrange the change of positions within three months!"
"Okay, once Jin Yiwei has sorted out the relationship between these officials, we will take action, and we will ask the army and navy to cooperate.
I want to conduct a major internal cleanup at the end of the year! "
It’s time for year-end cleaning. How can we celebrate the New Year if we don’t clean it up?
