"Li Aiqing, tell me what you think!"
Chongzhen was also curious now. He wanted to hear what different opinions this person had!
"Your Majesty, I think the punishment is not enough!"
After Li Ruolian finished speaking, he looked at the ministers: "I suggest that the civil servants and military generals who have surrendered and joined the army should be issued a sea arrest document according to the official position they held in Jiannu, and then corresponding to the official rank of the Ming Dynasty.
The ninth grade is fifty taels, the eighth grade is one hundred taels, the seventh grade is two hundred taels... and the first grade is one hundred thousand taels. As long as the head is brought back, a silver reward will be issued immediately. "
"For the second item, anyone who reports will receive 10% of the property of the reported merchant, with a maximum limit of one hundred thousand taels. Those who fail to report the information will receive a hundred rods and ten years of hard labor!"
After Li Ruolian finished speaking, the entire Huangji Palace became extremely quiet, and even Chongzhen was shocked.
If Li Ruolian's proposal is implemented, those who surrender will have to think carefully about the consequences.
Although they are both killing, the meanings are completely different.
Chongzhen's three strategies are also to kill, but they are from the imperial court. It is hard to say when they will be completed.
But what Li Ruolian mentioned was a time-limited one, and it could be said that the result would be immediate.
Those gangsters on the run, let alone one hundred thousand taels, even one thousand taels, they can walk on the edge of life and death.
If successful, it will clear the court of traitors.
If it fails or fails, it can be considered as reducing the unstable force for the court.
There are also reports on businessmen, which simply makes businessmen fearful. They may not see the sun tomorrow.
It's not even people from the Ming Dynasty who took action, but people within the enemy's own ranks, maybe cooks, grooms, guards, etc.
Money touches people's hearts. If you work hard, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
Chongzhen looked at the ministers with a hint of amusement on his lips: "What do you all think of Li Aiqing's suggestion?"
The expressions of all the ministers froze, and they all gave silent and life-threatening answers.
Answering yes will cut off your own escape route, spread the word, and make countless enemies for yourself.
If you don't agree, then you need to check your motives. Why don't you agree?
Do you want to surrender? Or did someone in your family surrender?
Li Ruolian stared at the ministers eagerly, and would check on anyone who dared to object.
After a while, Yuan Keli spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think Commander Li's idea is very good, but it is a bit rough.
Need to study in detail, such as silver rewards, trading methods, etc., it is very involved! "
After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he looked at Li Ruolian: "What do you think, Commander Li?"
Li Ruolian understood immediately: "What Mr. Yuan Ge said is true. I am impatient. Please forgive me!"
When he said this, there was a smile on Li Ruolian's lips. He also knew that the emperor would not agree to it now.
But as long as it is brought up and shocked, the purpose will be achieved.
The court can do this, but it must not be done openly.
Chongzhen snorted softly: "Okay, Yuan Aiqing, what Li Aiqing said makes sense. Your cabinet will discuss it with the six ministries to see if it is feasible!"
"Let's get back to the topic. Let's talk about whether Sun Aiqing's proposal is feasible!"
"I think it's feasible!"
Li Banghua spoke up: "Let's not talk about items 1 and 2. The imperial court should not be merciful to those who conspire to rebel. The only option is to kill them!"
"As for the craftsmen, I think the rebuttals of my colleagues just now are nothing. Now they are working in silver or working in shifts.
It has been cancelled. If the court needs workers, then the state treasury will provide the money, and the Ministry of Works will recruit the people themselves, and they will just be paid according to the work.
Finally, let the craftsmen return. As a Ming Dynasty person, shouldn't he die if he helps the enemy make weapons to kill his compatriots? "
After Li Banghua finished speaking, the six ministers expressed their opinions one after another, and they all agreed.
These three policies do no harm to them. Judging from the current situation, Ming Dynasty has a promising future.
Holding the emperor's lap, the glory of the family, and oneself will be recorded in the annals of history. It is not worth it for the immediate benefits.
"It seems that all of you, dear friends, agree with Sun Aiqing's suggestion!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the edge of the platform: "In that case, the matter is settled! Retreat from the court!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he glanced at Li Ruolian at the door, his eyes full of approval.
The ministers were so honest, so they were probably frightened by Li Ruolian's proposal.
Returning to Dongnuang Pavilion, Chongzhen was in an extremely happy mood, and things went exceptionally smoothly.
Regarding Li Ruolian's proposal, he had wanted to raise it for a long time and asked Li Ruolian to send someone to kill Fan Wencheng.
But Fan Wencheng was also one of the main participants in the history of the Jisi Revolution in the second year of Chongzhen.
If Fan Wencheng is killed, Jiannu may not be admitted. Before the Ming Dynasty field army is trained, he can only watch Jiannu conquer the Mongolian tribes and strengthen himself.
Records show that after Huang Taiji entered the pass, Fan Wencheng personally led people to guard Xifengkou.
For this man, Chongzhen vowed to get him back and cut him into pieces.
Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, dozens of officers rushed out of the city gate and headed towards the provincial capitals with the edict.
Starting at 3 o'clock in the morning, the children who were responsible for selling the Ming Dynasty Daily ran out of the Ming Dynasty Daily compound with their bags and scattered into the streets, markets, and alleys of Beijing.
A quarter of an hour later, some markets and alleys became lively.
"What?"
"How can it be?"
"Why did the imperial court issue such an edict?"
…
"What are you talking about? What's impossible?"
"Go and play, buy yourself a copy of Daming Daily, and you'll find out!"
…
As some small towns and cities became lively, the whole city of Beijing became completely lively, and in the end it was boiling.
Every place where notices were posted was crowded with people and there was a lot of discussion.
"Are these three policies of the imperial court so overbearing? They don't give people a way to survive at all!"
"Okay, okay, okay, the court has finally taken action. These three types of people should be killed until they dare not do it anymore."
"It's nonsense. To scholars and businessmen, I agree with these two things.
But why would this craftsman issue a death order? After paying the commission money and completing the court's tax collection, you are free to go anywhere! "
"Freedom? Those craftsmen went to build slaves, helped the slaves make weapons, and then killed our soldiers. These are naked traitors.
When your son goes to the battlefield, you can talk about freedom! "
"That's right, the Ming Dynasty is so big and there are so many people, but it's not enough for them to make money? Go and work as a lackey for the slaves.
Let’s take the Ming Dynasty’s exorbitant taxes as an example. They took turns, and the court approved the taxes for the whole family.
It's much better than other industries, but it can't be this shameless! "
"Freedom is so ridiculous. Who taught these craftsmen skills? Didn't they develop them by consuming Ming materials during shifts?"
"Yes, even if we were taxed heavily before and escaped, now the imperial court has encouraged the craftsmanship system and abolished the shift craftsmanship system.
He also said that if you create something that can improve the convenience of the people and the combat power of the soldiers, you will be rewarded heavily. After giving so much, it can't be justified to still establish slaves! "
