Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused. Isn’t it good to search corrupt officials like this? The money from the treasury will rise when the wind rises. If you continue to search like this, the money from the court will be endless.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand, which was like digging his own foundation. However, Zhu Cilang could see clearly that something big would happen if this continued.

For example, due to long-term foreign wars during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the national strength was already weak. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han adopted a series of policy measures to ensure the supply of food, grass and military pay for the army.

The most direct way is that Sang Hongyang plans to buy evenly-win officials, and buy goods from all over the world, sell them at a low price, and make no profits from merchants, and all prices are flat, which is called "ping". It also implements a system of monopoly on salt and iron and handicrafts, which completely restricts the development of industry and commerce.

Then the merchants were forbidden from occupying land: "The merchants had a city and their families, and they had no land for farmers to make it possible for them to break the order and confiscated the children."

According to the Han law, merchants have a separate household registration and their status is lower than that of ordinary farmers. Four of the "seven bans" are those who have been exiled to merchants or their descendants.

The "Capital Order" and the "Capital Order" stipulate that merchants or those who make profits in business shall be taxed for themselves for money and goods, and each 2,000 coins shall be taxed. Merchants and vehicles shall be taxed twice, and each 2,000 coins shall be calculated; ships shall be calculated for more than five meters. Anyone who conceals or reports them falsely, if money is confiscated for one year in the Xu Dynasty, it is essentially a property tax for the rich.

Merchants who are municipal and their families are not allowed to occupy land and confiscate land and property in violation of orders. Anyone who reports that merchants hide their money will be rewarded with half of the money. Those who sue the war are everywhere, and the merchants are greatly hit.

With the efforts of Emperor Wen and Jing, and the accumulation of wealth in the early Western Han Dynasty for seventy years, when Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, the Western Han Dynasty was full of treasury, he was also considered an emperor with huge sums of money.

Emperor Wu of Han was also a person with a strong career aspiration. Faced with the growing growth of the Huns, he repeatedly invaded and couldn't sleep or eat!

After all, the safety of the Hetao area is directly related to the Guanzhong area, so Emperor Wu of Han used most of the property accumulated by his ancestors to fight against the Huns.

Who knew that this fight would last for a lifetime.

It is undeniable that Emperor Wu of Han completely eliminated the troubles of the Huns in the Han Dynasty. However, all this was the result of betting on the national strength of the entire Han Dynasty.

When the war burned money, the national treasury was quickly emptied. Emperor Wu of Han could not feel at ease if he did not force the Huns to retreat for a day. In the end, the Huns were defeated, but the national strength of the Han Dynasty was also exhausted.

Emperor Chongzhen's factory management and corruption played an important role. However, the extreme of things will be reversed. If this continues, the corrupt officials will be gone. However, the entire government system has completely collapsed.

If you expect the factory guards to rule the world, the final result will be a terrifying reign. Such a dynasty has no hope.

"Father, stop. If you continue to investigate, the three provinces and six ministries are already in a semi-paralyzed state, and the documents of each ministries are piled up like a mountain, and no one will deal with them. The documents file reported by local prefectures and counties are not processed, so there will be a big problem in the Father."

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment: "How can we prosper the country if we don't completely eradicate the corruption."

Zhu Cilang shook his head: "A man is not a sage, he has greed. He takes over his power in his position, so why not be tempted? Corrupt officials can never be killed. What we should do is to establish a complete government system and eliminate corruption."

Zhu Cixuan said a lot and had a long conversation with Emperor Chongzhen for a whole day. It was a whole day. Who knew what the father and son were talking about. Wangcai and Lai Fu were yawning outside the hall, and Meng Fanchao's face was full of worry.

From outside the Ganqing Palace, sometimes you can hear the fierce quarrel between the father and son, and sometimes you can hear the seemingly harmonious chat between them.

In short, when he arrived at the imperial kitchen, he delivered the imperial kitchen twice. It was about to be the morning court, Zhu Cilang walked out of the Ganqing Palace with a tired face.

Lai Fu and Wangcai had already lie on the railing outside the hall and fell asleep, even Meng Fanchao was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

But when Zhu Cixuan walked out of the Ganqing Palace, Meng Fanchao opened his eyes first. He hurriedly walked forward, glanced at the Ganqing Palace and whispered in a worried voice: "Your Highness."

Zhu Cilang kicked the dog legs, Lai Fu and Wangcai, and then said, "Let's go to Huangji Palace and have a morning court."

My father, Emperor Chongzhen, was a workaholic, at least as diligent as the emperors of the previous generations. Zhu Cilang has always been lazy, but when he became serious, he was as crazy as he was.

For example, this time I had a long and long conversation with my father. After a whole day, when the morning court was in the morning, Zhu Cilang was still full of energy.

Lai Fu Wangcai had to hurry up and follow. The morning court in Huangji Palace was very early. As soon as the sky was dawn, the court officials had already entered the palace one after another.

The morning bells and evening drums, the court officials have long been used to the days of being cautious now. In fact, a large number of officials have written letters to resign because they are sick.

In one day, more than 30 officials wrote a letter to resign. This was not a demonstration to Chongzhen, but a demonstration with the emperor could only be a pity that he had a long life.

They are really afraid, even if they don’t have the courage to be corrupt, even if they clamp up their tails, some people still can’t stand it in the face of the rampant factory guards.

These factory guards are extremely rampant, and neither the East and West Factory nor the Jinyiwei take officials seriously at all. This is impossible. Without the organization of the court system and without institutional constraints, you can really do whatever you want.

Whether you are the Jinyiwei family or have set up East-West Factory to restrain each other, they are still high-ranking. Although the three parties will fight each other, these factory guards are extremely arrogant when dealing with officials.

Even the banners of the East and West Factory dared to oppress the cabinet members. The cabinet was an important department directly under Emperor Chongzhen.

Under Zhu Cilang's persuasion, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to finally realize the consequences. At today's court meeting, no minister dared to speak.

Even the censors who claimed to be the Qingliu were collectively silent. The emperor would not easily kill the censors for his reputation, but the factory guards dared.

Therefore, the morning courts in recent days have been dead, and the same is true today.

Wang Chengen stood above the hall and shouted loudly: "If you have a book and you have no book, you will leave the court."

He shouted three times in a row, but no one answered, and all the ministers were trembling.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the silent ministers below, looked at Zhu Cilang who was standing below, and then cleared his throat: "Okay, you are silent, I will hang up high. Today's court meeting will not discuss the government affairs, but I will announce an edict!"

Emperor Chongzhen succeeded, and now the imperial power has been unprecedentedly concentrated. In other words, the imperial power has no restraint, and Emperor Chongzhen can do whatever he wants.
