The former man followed the advice of the Donglin Party members and abolished the Dongchang and placed the Jinyiwei. Seven years have passed in a blink of an eye.

No one understands better than Han Shanhe how lonely the Jinyiwei is today.

At its peak, the Jinyiwei had a total of 60,000 or 70,000 employees. How powerful was the Jinyiwei's case handling that year? As long as he fought at the yamen, all officials could tremble and children could cry.

What about now?

Except for a thousand-household office under the Han general who was still in charge of the palace, the yamen was covered with dust and no one was taking care of it. As soon as the officials of the Jinyiwei could only drink to relieve their sorrows every day, and sometimes they would be ridiculed when they saw the officials of the court.

Whenever Han Shanhe went to the yamen to click Mao, he felt uncomfortable when he saw the plaque approved by Emperor Chengzu at the yamen. He had been in the Jinyiwei for more than ten years, and in recent years he felt that he was almost abandoned.

Until yesterday, Eunuch Wang from the Silijian found him, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. It's been seven years since he was waiting for this opportunity for seven years.

"How many people are there in the Jinyiwei now?" Emperor Chongzhen asked Han Shanhe.

This person was recommended by Wang Chengen. The Jinyiwei was shelved for seven years. Most of the officials fell into decline and gave up on themselves. They had long lost their prudence and heroism. For example, the former Jinyiwei commander Luo Yang was arrogant, extravagant, and was lewd and despicable. He even colluded with some imperial officials and often blackmailed and bribed vendors in the capital.

Only the commander-in-chief Han Shanhe went to the Jinyiwei Yamen to work as usual every day. Wang Chengen also investigated this person, and he was meticulous and had no stains. Therefore, he recommended it to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Report to Your Majesty, there are more than 4,000 officials of the Jinyiwei registered. If you give me five days, I can summon the elderly who have been resigned from work a few years ago, and it is expected that at least 3,000 people will be recalled!" Han Shanhe stood up and said excitedly.

Since he wanted to reopen the factory guard, he had known what Chongzhen would ask, and he had read through the archives of the Jinyiwei Yamen several times last night.

"What I want is a useful person, a trustworthy person, and you don't want any of the scattered people. You need to identify it carefully. In addition, the Dongji Factory has been laid off for a long time and the people are too short. I will temporarily transfer two thousand households to the Dongjian Factory to obey the order." Chongzhen said after pondering for a moment.

The factory guards were already closely related. When the Dongjishi Factory Office was established in history, except for the admiral and eunuch, the subordinates were in charge of the thousand households, the thousands of households and even the men, and they were directly dispatched from the Jinyiwei. There was nothing wrong with Chongzhen's arrangements like this.

In fact, it was because Chongzhen was too short of money. If he wanted to make money by relying on factory guards, he had to have people first. If he wanted to recruit people, he had to have money. If he wanted to make the recruited people loyal, he could not do without money. This was like a nesting doll.

"Yes, I am obeying the saint's order!" Han Shanhe replied.

Without Wang Chengen's recommendation, he might have been a small commander. He seconded some people to return this favor to the East Factory, which was not a big deal at all.

"You may not understand. Although I am going to reopen the factory, I have no extra money for you to drive. However, what I will say next is of great importance and there is not much time to prepare for you.

If you fail, not only will the Jinyiwei be cut off, but I will also kill your nine clans. Of course, if you think you can't do it, I won't blame you, you can just go back to your hometown today." Chongzhen said coldly.

To solve the current dilemma, one must use thunderous means, and this move can shock the whole world. Either the Donglin Party members will die without a place to bury them, or he will be infamous for thousands of years, so Chongzhen has to be cautious.

Another point is that Chongzhen wanted to test the new commander of the Jinyiwei, to see his courage and ability to do things, to reintegrate the Jinyiwei and to recruit the old man who has resigned from the Jinyiwei, but it is indeed quite difficult to do without money.

"I understand. I am willing to do my best. If the matter is done, I will drink the sword and decree. It will not cost your Majesty the trouble!" Although Han Shanhe was nervous, he still replied with a sonorous word.

Since ancient times, wealth and danger have sought in danger, and the same is true for power.

"Sit down, I'll make specific arrangements below." Chongzhen waved his hand to signal Han Shanhe to sit down.

"I plan to return the commercial taxes in Shuntian Prefecture to the inner treasury, and the collection matters will be led by the Dongchang. According to the function of the shop, it can be divided into three levels, and the shops that are related to the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation will charge 10% of their profits.

Restaurants, teahouses, jewelry and luxury stores charge 20% of their profits, and brothels and brothels charge 30% of their profits.

I want you to find out the accounts of all shops in the capital. You must not collect too much, nor do you need to collect less. Those who report the accounts directly seal the shop, the shopkeeper will be pushed into the prison of the East Factory, and all property will be filled into the treasury." Chongzhen seemed to have thought about it for a long time and said bluntly.

Wen Tiren felt a chill on his back, and he seemed to know how His Majesty would solve the treasury dilemma.

But he did not speak because it was obvious that Chongzhen did not want to discuss with them, but issued a direct order.

"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen stood up and saluted.

"If this matter is done well, I will give you no hesitation and teach you some explanations to your subordinates, but remember that these money is very important to me. Who dares to fill my own pockets? I will kill the nine clans." Chongzhen said calmly but was very serious.

"I know that if I miss the emperor's errands, I will take my head to apologize." Wang Chengen gritted his teeth.

This is the first task assigned to him by the emperor, and he must do it even if he fights his life.

"As for the Jinyiwei, Qian Shisheng can be brought to the imperial prison. I don't care what I do. I want you to use this person as a breakthrough to find out the corruption records of all the officials in the capital, including but not limited to embezzlement, bribery, and personal gain. In particular, you must focus on the officials who will be appointed today. Anyone who finds that the family deposits more than 100,000 taels or whose family property exceeds 100,000 taels must be guilty. Han Aiqing, do you understand?" Chongzhen stared at Han Shanhe's eyes and said in a deep voice.

Before Han Shanhe could express his opinion, Li Banghua, Yang Sichang and others swallowed unconsciously, while Wen Tiren was not only cold on his back, but also cold sweats on his forehead.

Any minister who deposits more than 100,000 taels of silver in his family must be guilty. What is the reason? If you want to add a crime, why not worry about it?

Is this really good? I will be infamous for thousands of years!

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang wanted to give advice, but Chongzhen waved his hand to stop him.

"I know what you are thinking. The accumulated problems of the Ming Dynasty have been in trouble for more than a hundred years. They have long been terminally ill and cannot be cured without taking strong medicine.

As for my reputation, the country is about to perish. What's the use of this reputation behind me?

I also know that your beloved ministers attach great importance to their reputations behind them. Isn’t it more shameful to have a king who has destroyed his country or a minister who has destroyed his country?

What I did today is to save the country and to help the Ming Dynasty escape the suffering of millions of people. How many scholars in the world are there? How many people are there?

Justice is in the hearts of the people. I don’t believe that the ten thousand people of my people are no match for the corrupt scholars. The world is full of people, and evil cannot defeat the righteous." Chongzhen said with a sneer.

Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and Li Banghua looked at each other, and they were still nervous. Have you ever seen anyone treating the imperial officials like this in the three hundred years?

To put it bluntly, this is called killing a donkey. Who dares to become an official in the future?

Chongzhen saw the expressions of several people. He was a little disappointed. The scholars were a little bit polite. He looked at Han Shanhe and seemed to have eaten sildenafil with excitement.

"You guys don't think these officials are really innocent, right?" Chongzhen said with a smile.
