After Wang Zhixiang heard what Wan Xiangchun said, he clenched his fists and his veins bulged, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to leave silently.
And when he thought that the New Party officials were now keeping a close eye on corruption and bending the law, and Jin Yiwei was also keeping a close eye on corruption, and it would undoubtedly be difficult to get back the property he had sold at a low price, he couldn't help but shed tears.
"I am ordered to repay the national debt. Otsuka Zai has made a profit of five thousand taels this time. Please accept it."
When Wang Zhixiang came back depressed, he happened to see the Ministry of Finance handing out silver coins to Hai Rui, which made him feel even more unhappy.
Because officials like Hai Rui, who didn't have much savings, could make a profit of five thousand taels by borrowing money to rescue the market, but he lost so much that he didn't dare to resign and go home.
This time, many upright officials of the new party, the reform faction, have made a lot of profits, and they have not only made profits by buying national bonds, but also cooperated with the court to stabilize the price of silver coins, and deliberately continued to maintain the scale of their own industrial operations, even if they suffered losses due to lack of sales. Huge, and also deliberately purchased a large number of high-quality assets at the same time, and as a result, I have made a lot of money until now.
Some active-thinking New Party officials have begun to think more about economics because of this situation. Especially after combining some economics books issued by the emperor's chief minister, they have begun to think more about the impact of the economy on the country. There is a greater awareness of the importance of stability.
However, more New Party officials are still more willing to focus on official governance and keeping discipline.
As for the reason.
First, Shin Shihang and other important ministers of the new party unanimously believed that whether it was to stabilize the price of silver coins for the country, or to prevent their own power from being lost, they should strictly control officials and prevent silver coins from being distributed to soldiers and civilians through various infrastructure and welfare methods. The entire process was flawed and sabotaged by the bureaucrats charged with executing it.
Second, this silver dollar war has allowed many New Party officials to collect a lot of assets that were sold off by powerful bureaucrats for whatever purpose. Now they are making a lot of money, and they also know that ordinary people are also getting a lot of money. With fewer high-quality assets and the emergence of a large number of middle class, they will take the initiative to keep an eye on the old parties, not wanting them to break the rules and take back the assets that were sold at low prices.
This was the case for Wanxiangchun, the patrol inspector of Beizhili. After receiving instructions from his superiors and seeing that someone would do something random, he worked harder than before. Even when Ruiya, an ordinary civilian woman, complained, he, as a patrol inspector, had to come and ask in person. Instead of handing it over to the government.
No coincidence.
Many officials like Wan Xiangchun began to work seriously, and many officials like Hai Rui appeared.
Not only civil servants, but also many generals and even Jin Yiwei were very serious.
"Your Majesty!"
"Yang Yuting, the head of the household department, ordered Fan Yuheng, the magistrate of Quanjiao County, to kill three residents of a good household, falsely accuse them of robbery, and seize fifty acres of their fields. He also colluded with Guang Daming, a doctor in the criminal department, and Zhu Hong, the Zuo of the criminal department, to conceal the report. Fortunately for this case, I, Jin Yiwei, had spies in advance in various counties, otherwise this unjust case would have been turned into an irreversible case without anyone noticing."
"Your Majesty!"
"Xiong Yuan, the censor of Shaanxi Province, and Mei Yousong, the governor of Yansui, hid more than 30 shops in the Mi Zhi Station and were burned without asking. This was because the local governor Ai Nenggui sold dozens of shops at a low price to local ordinary people Li Sanshu and others. Later, because of Ai Nenggui was unwilling to accept the sharp drop in silver prices, so he wanted to burn down his shop to satisfy his hatred. However, because his slaves leaked the news, Li Sanshu and other ordinary people sued the county government, so Ai Nenggui had to bribe the Fuyuan heavily and Fu Yuan was forced to pay the price. The court instructed the local magistrate to take the complainant Li Sanshu and other people into custody in order to falsely accuse him of spreading a cult."
For a while.
Zhu Yijun received many such memorials impeaching old party officials for their illegal acts.
In this regard, Zhu Yijun only told Shen Shixing and other officials: "Everyone will be dealt with strictly and will never be tolerated! Again, if I don't violate the law, they will not be able to violate the law!"
"According to the order!"
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
"Spare your life!"
"I know I was wrong, I shouldn't mess with the law."
"I was wrong!"
Qian Ruogeng, the magistrate of Daxing County, was in front of the prison officer that day, receiving the imperial staff of the royal guard, and the new magistrate and other officials were watching.
Ren Yonggang was also watching here, and after seeing Qian Ruogeng being beaten with blood all over his mouth, and finally dying completely, he also laughed and felt quite happy.
Yang Yuting was also taken away directly from Liu Ke Corridor by Jin Yiwei, and he was quite miserable, because Jin Yiwei not only had spies in the Quanjiao County Government Office, but also placed informants around him, so he got hold of him before he had time to burn him. Evidence of instigating local officials to plunder people and property.
Therefore, after Yang Yuting was taken away, he cursed Zhang Jingxiu quite rudely: "Zhang Jingxiu! How can you be so vicious that you put people from Jinyiwei into the county government? Zhao Mengbai should not let you serve!"
Bang!
A guard in brocade clothes came up and slapped Yang Yuting directly.
Yang Yuting lost three of his teeth on the spot, and looked at the Jin Yiwei with a full mouth: "Who are you, and why did you lynch me first?"
"My dear Li Zhi, it was just my hand that refused to obey my command and struck me. It has nothing to do with me. It is not considered a lynching. The way my hand was like this was purely instigated by the law of heaven, because he couldn't bear to see a bastard like you talking nonsense here!"
"My bad rules have led local officials to kill people, but I haven't felt that I was wrong. But in the past, when you impeached Wang Lin, the Minister of Household Affairs, for illegally using state funds, the court did not take your life because of it. It shows how shameless you are!"
Li Zhi replied.
Yang Yuting couldn't help but ask: "Li Zhuowu, why did you join the Jinyi Guards?"
Li Zhuowu said: "Because no one hates you hypocrites more than me."
"You are a deviant, how can you join the Jin Yiwei!"
Yang Yuting yelled in pain, and then, not long after, he was taken to the Jinyi Guard for interrogation, and within a few days he was executed in the city.
When Yansui Governor Mei Yousong was taken away, he gritted his teeth and said to Governor Xiong Yuan: "You villain, we are all members of Yuan Fu. You didn't want to tell me earlier, why are you doing this!"
Xiong Yuan ignored it.
And after Gu Xiancheng learned that the court was now strictly dealing with the powerful bureaucrats who tried to forcibly take back the assets they sold at low prices, he couldn't help but said to Gu Yuncheng: "Remember to write to your family and ask them to abide by the rules and don't do anything random. Look now. Come on, you have to admit this failure of hoarding silver coins."
"Okay! I'll write a letter to my family right now!"
Gu Yuncheng nodded and said: "But I heard that the DPRK and the Central Government have begun to discuss tax cuts again. The main reason is that this time after Shijian Yinshan was controlled by the imperial court, it is estimated that it can produce at least three million taels of silver per year, so We have decided to reduce or reduce some taxes and implement benevolent policies that further benefit the people."
"The emperor wants another feat of benevolent government!"
Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "We have to find a way to make it Jiangnan's turn to receive the imperial favor of this tax reduction."
