February of the first year of Chongzhen.

The Wuchen family is getting closer and closer, and countless juren are already gathering in the capital.

The Ming Dynasty Imperial City is still very solemn and solemn at this moment. After all, it is at this time whether everyone can climb the Golden Dragon Gate.

But after the day the dragon raised its head on February 2nd.

An edict was issued from the cabinet.

The emperor began to kill people.

The edict mentioned how the seven merchants in Zhangjiakou colluded with Jiannu, how they sold the wealth of Liaodong people plundered by Jiannu and sold, how they transported goods that were strictly prohibited and restricted by the Ming Dynasty to outside the pass, and all the deeds of earning money from the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu were reported.

Then, there are details about how these merchants bribed border guards, eunuchs guarding the army, eunuchs supervising the army, generals of Xuanfu Town, governors of Shanxi, etc.

This notice was made of bright yellow paper and was pasted on the largest notice in the capital. At the same time, the emperor issued an order to impose the world on a comprehensive explanation of what these people did.

Moreover, the evidence of the crime should be typical, and the case was taken at noon on February 4th.

In fact, everyone will understand the matter roughly after the New Year. After all, when people were arrested in the capital, they were circulated from all sides. At the same time, Zhu Youjian also asked Shilin, Hanlin Academy, and literati to speak out, with the purpose of making these people smell bad and let everyone know the responsibilities of these people.

Then, the money was found.

The emperor did not hide it and made a notice in full.

This caused a sensation.

However, just when everyone was curious, Zhu Youjian told the world that the 30 million taels of silver would be used on the people of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the emperor issued a recruitment to recruit people with ambition in the world to monitor these people who treasoned the country and harmed the people.

Once you find out, you can report to the Jinyiwei. The supervision of the Jinyiwei in the Tianxia Jinyiwei has been stationed at the local station and report to them.

This incident did cause a greater sensation, because everyone really couldn't imagine why the emperor valued factory guards so much. Logically, these people were all devastating stars, and they would be in trouble when they saw them.

But at this moment, someone made another sound.

Because the factory guards are all corrupt officials and never attack ordinary people.

For a moment, everyone understood.

That's true.

Whose house was stepped by the door by the factory guard?

Most of the time, it was not the servants and assistants, but also the bad guys of the landlords.

For a moment, someone had an idea in his mind.

However, when you hear the notice at the end that you will not disclose the news when you go to report, it will make some people even more willing to do this.

"Thirty million taels of silver, what does Your Majesty really say?" The Minister of Revenue was bleeding in his heart as he listened to his subordinates' reports.

So much money.

If I stayed in the Ministry of Revenue, I wouldn’t have to live so tightly every day.

Now that he thinks about the various expenses he spends every year, he feels overwhelmed.

"Yes, sir, Your Majesty did not leave this money in the treasury."

The subordinates reported that the Minister of Revenue did not expect that at this time, when everyone heard that the house was confiscated and 30 million taels were circulated, they all felt that the emperor must have put all the money in the treasury this time. After all, this matter involved many ministers.

No one dared to ask the emperor for money under various names, but now the emperor did not hide the money, but planned to use it on the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a little money?

How many people can use it?

After hearing the emperor's thoughts, everyone felt incredible. What does this emperor mean?

The money was given to the Ministry of Revenue in Daming, and the Ministry of Revenue allocated another disaster relief. Isn’t it the same?

Why do you have to issue it in the name of the emperor?

Is this a bribery?

Your emperor was originally the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the common ruler of the world. Everyone respects you. It seems a bit too much to win people's hearts.

"Sir, do you think if you want His Majesty to allocate some money? Our Ministry of Revenue's Taicang is almost empty."

It's hard for subordinates to deal with it.

There are all kinds of money coming in and out every day. If you can get some money to support you, it will definitely make everyone feel much easier.

"This matter is not that easy. This matter involves many people. Otherwise, why wouldn't anyone stand up to stop His Majesty with this money?"

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not like that kind of mud.

Everyone is a fighter.

However, this fighter has a day when he has less to say, and that is, he is involved in something, so he naturally dare not speak out.

"I understand, the young man." The man also nodded.

I'm afraid the Ministry of Revenue will also be involved in this matter, otherwise he would be the one who can't sit still the most.

"Sir, someone from the Ministry of Rites came to ask for a visit."

The conversation was just stopped by the Minister of Revenue, and then someone came in to report.

"Let's come in."

"Yes, sir."

After the communicating person went out, a minister from the Ministry of Rites came in soon. After he came in, he bowed to the Minister of Revenue and then explained his purpose.

"Sir, after exploring the Gongyuan, I found that some places were to be repaired. The subordinates came to allocate funds from the Ministry of Revenue to repair them."

“How much is needed.”

The Gongyuan is the main examination place for this tutor. There are all scholars in the world taking the exam, which is also a grand event for literati, so naturally you cannot be careless at this time.

As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, it is completely possible to settle down.

"About ten thousand taels of silver."

"Can."

"Then I'll thank you sir."

"You keep the note, and I will send the money to the Ministry of Works later."

"Then the official surrenders."

After the people from the Ministry of Rites left, the Minister of Revenue looked at the grant notes sent by the Ministry of Rites, so he asked someone to handle it.

The money for the renovation of the tribute court was paid by the Ministry of Revenue, but the person who worked was from the Ministry of Works. Therefore, after the Ministry of Works surveyed and calculated, there was a figure. Then the Ministry of Rites reported to the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue transferred the money to the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works sent a special person to do it.

However, the number filled in the Ministry of Revenue into the finance department is 11,320 taels of expenditure for repairing the Wuchen Academy.

However, the people from the Ministry of Works received only 5,000 taels of money.

The only one who sent it to the tribute court to buy materials and craftsmen pointed out that it was less than five hundred taels.

The craftsmen are conscientious, but the materials they have in hand are really inferior.

But everyone is a direct craftsman from the Ministry of Works. They can only complete the orders issued by the adults of the Ministry of Works, and they only hope that there will be no problems during the exam.

The idea was good, but looking at the bricks and tiles that were broken as soon as they were pinched, the craftsmen were careful when they got off work, but with force, the wall they had finally built collapsed.
Chapter completed!
