"Hey, why is he never short of money? I have studied for so many years, why do I have no money again?"
Zhu Youjian was sitting on the throne of the Chengyun Hall in the Imperial City of Xuanfu, and he muttered in a low voice, saying a lot of words that no one below could understand.
Who is that person who is never short of money?
Also, how old is the little emperor this year? Why did you study for so many years? Even if he started studying after his mother was born, it wouldn’t have been many years!
Zhu Youjian sighed and whispered: "I can't count on his money right now, I have to rely on myself!"
Yes, that "him" is still squinting in his mother's womb! Even if it is born, it won’t be needed for a while!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian's eyes swept across the hall. Most of his humerus ministers are here!
The civil officials include Gao Hongtu, the governor of Yanyun, Zhang Yiming, the governor of Xuanda, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shuntian, Chen Qiyu, the governor of Datong, Yang Sichang, the governor of Xuanfu, Yang Hao, the general counselor of the Zhangqian army, Qian Qianyi, a Hanlin scholar, Kong Yunzhen, the Zhanshifu Zhanshi, Zhan Shi Yang He, the young master of Zhan Shi Mansion (Yang Sichang's father finally made a comeback).
The military attachés include Hei Yunlong, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of the Zhangqian Army, Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, and the newly appointed commander-in-chief You Shiwei of Changping (formerly the military commander of Miyun Qiangzilu).
In addition, there are Chen Bingzheng, Qi Benzheng, Zhang Chengqing, Wang Yongnian, Li Chengyun and other eunuchs who are deeply trusted by Zhu Youjian. They are all Dajue!
Oh, and there are Luo Sigong and Luo Yangxing, the two martial officers in charge of the Jin Yiwei. The two of them were not sent by Zhu Youjian to be loyal martyrs, but were tied to the emperor's side as messengers for dispatching the imperial guards.
Although Zhu Youjian looked down on Jin Yiwei, he still kept the leader of Jin Yiwei by his side - these people are more capable of causing trouble than doing things!
"Everyone, tell me," Zhu Youjian said, "You are all my humerus, and now is the time for you to make suggestions for me... You all know how to make money, tell me. You said it. It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong, I won’t pursue it, and the person who spoke is not guilty.”
This question... All the civil and military officials and ministers present looked at each other in confusion. Everyone was a clean-sleeved official, and even the inside of their trouser legs were clean. How could they know how to make money?
The scene suddenly became a bit cold, and no one spoke, not even Shen Tingyang, who had been a profiteer in his family for generations, did not dare to speak.
Just when Zhu Youjian's face gradually darkened, Yang Hao, who had lived in Jinyiwei Prison for many years, suddenly spoke: "Since ancient times, the imperial court has raised military expenses in order to pacify the four parties, and at the same time it has been unwilling to pay too many taxes. Anyone who wants to do this will use the method of selling their official position..."
"Yang Hao! What bad idea do you have for Long Live Lord? How can I, the bright and clear world, the shining sun and the moon, sell my official position? Your Majesty, Yang Hao is a treacherous sycophant, don't listen to him!"
Before Yang Hao finished speaking, Gao Hongtu, the governor of Yanyun, had already jumped to his feet. Master Gao was a gentleman and was not afraid of the powerful. Wei Zhongxian tried to win over him, but he did not fall for the trick. Instead, he went to Shudong to accuse him of treachery, and he was killed. Return home.
Such an honorable gentleman would of course not tolerate Yang Hao, a treacherous official, teaching the young emperor bad things. Of course he would glare at him angrily and angrily condemn him.
Yang Hao had probably been in jail for a long time, so he didn't feel angry anymore. He didn't jump after hearing his words. He just sneered: "Gao Zhijun, long live the Lord said that the speaker is not guilty, what are you in a hurry? What do you want?" If you have any good ideas, please tell me!"
"Long live my lord," Gao Hongtu said sternly, "Officials must never be sold, but there are still many treacherous ministers in the court who once relied on Wei Ni. They are all corrupt officials. If they are wiped out in one fell swoop, not only can we clean up Tsunaji, you can also collect a lot of ill-gotten wealth back into the treasury!"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Isn't it just a house raid...Long Live Lord is already raiding the house!"
Gao Hongtu had also heard some rumors that the current emperor was good at confiscating homes. When Yang Hao reminded him, he remembered it, but then he shook his head: "But there are still so many traitors who have attached themselves to Wei Ni and are at large!"
Yang Hao said: "Don't worry, Long Live Lord knows it all...all the treacherous and corrupt officials will not be able to escape!"
Zhu Youjian chuckled: "Both of you are my humerus, and what you said makes sense... Yang Qing proposed the method of selling his official position, and I think it is not impossible to consider it."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Tingyang: "Shen Qing, what do you think?"
When the officials present heard this, they all turned their attention to Shen Tingyang, a wealthy young man - it turns out that your official position was bought! No wonder he became the right deputy envoy of the inner transport warehouse in one step! I don’t know how much money it cost?
Shen Tingyang looked innocent. He had never bought an official position for himself! Besides, whether he wants to buy it or not, he doesn’t want to buy the right deputy envoy of the inner transport warehouse! Not only can't get the money and water, but also have to check the accounts of a group of father-in-laws... I'm so worried!
"Your Majesty, minister, minister..." Shen Tingyang was looked at by Zhu Youjian and could only stammered in agreement, "I think you can sell a few officials... As far as I know, There are some wealthy businessmen in the southeast who still want to buy official positions."
"Oh?" Zhu Youjian responded, "Who wants to buy it?"
"Yes..." Shen Tingyang looked around and thought: Can the matter of buying an official position be so public?
"Who is there?" Zhu Youjian asked again.
"Yes, there is Zheng Yiguan!" Shen Tingyang said, "He was originally a giant pirate in the southeast sea, and he also did business..."
Zheng Yiguan is not afraid of publicity!
"I know!" Zhu Youjian said, "I have asked Pang Tianshou to talk to him!"
What? The ministers in the palace were all stunned, thinking: Are they already talking about selling their official posts and buying them? The little emperor takes action very quickly!
Zhu Youjian then said: "As for the officials, how many can be sold if appropriate... Like Zheng Yiguan, if I don't sell him a few officials, he won't be able to become an official?"
Yes, he can get the imperial court to appoint him as an official!
"Qing Shen," Zhu Youjian said to Shen Tingyang, "there should be many people similar to Zheng Yiguan in the southeast area... Can you contact me and ask them if they want to buy an official? I can Make them the commander-in-chief, deputy general, staff general, and guerrilla of the naval town!"
Yes, Shen Tingyang has become the general agent for selling officials!
"I obey the order." Of course Shen Tingyang had to accept the order, because selling an official position as a general agent is very "money-making"... and some people really care about the general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals and guerrillas in the naval town. !
Because those who can trade on the southeast sea are ruthless people who are both thieves and merchants. However, this ruthless person has no interest in overthrowing the Ming Dynasty. He wants to seek stability when he gets rich, so he should be able to buy an official position.
"But the house of a traitor must be raided!" Zhu Youjian's tone suddenly became serious, "Li Chengyun, bring me the list I made!"
List?
A blacklist for confiscation?
Who's on it?
The officials present were all shocked and worried that they or their accomplices were on the list.
"Long live my Lord, which list would you like me to be on?" Wei Zhongxian's godson, Li Chengyun, who fought back when Zhu Youjian attacked, is now in charge of the blacklist!
Hearing his question, the officials below became even more panicked - there was more than one blacklist!
"Bring me the list of profiteers!" Zhu Youjian glanced at the palace, "There are not only traitors but also profiteers who are attached to Wei Ni! Several of the profiteers are not only attached to Wei Ni, but also colluded with Beiyuan and Donglu , Tongtang betrays the country! I have long wanted to punish him. I was busy fighting the war before and had no time to take care of them... Now I just want to settle accounts with them and get some more money so that I can celebrate the New Year!"
Fortunately...it's good to rob the house of a profiteer!
Most of the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and a few even glanced at Shen Tingyang—this man was also a profiteer!
"Luo Sigong, Luo Yangxing!" Zhu Youjian called the names of the Luo family and his son, "You two do something for me!"
Plagiarizing merchants?
The Luo family father and son immediately left the office and saluted, and said with great joy: "Your Majesty, please give your orders, I will work hard and work tirelessly!"
Zhu Youjian nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "I have issued a secret order a few days ago, ordering Duke Yingying, Cui Chengxiu, Li Zunzu, and Liu Chao to go to Luoyang to invite King Fu's family to come north. You will go to welcome them after your hard work, and then make good arrangements for them. There must be no mistake in living in Nanhaizi Palace!"
