Wang Tigan agreed to retreat, but when he was not long, he turned back and bowed to the emperor and reported to the emperor: "Old Master, all the confiscated money from the East Factory has been counted and has been transported to the internal warehouse for storage."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, with a smile on his face, and said to Wang Tigan: "What's the best job for Wang Bao, I'm rewarded."

In the capital, the nobles are the richest, the eunuchs are second, and the officials are last. This is the impression Zhu Youxiao occasionally saw the information about Li Zicheng's torture and seeking wealth in later generations.

The property copied by Wang Tigan indirectly proved this in the removal of the inner palace supervisor Wang Chaofu and the imperial supervisor Li Chaoqing.

Once the emperor and the ministers were both old men from Wanli period, they didn’t know how many years they had been greedy. Zhu Youxiao felt it was very appropriate to eliminate them.

Besides, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were red when he was short of money. Giving Wang Ti the right to fight corruption is the same as releasing Mr. Wei.

Even with money and real estate, there are 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver to buy a lot of thousands of pounds of cannons!

The eunuchs in the palace are not the richest. Those eunuchs who are officials outside, such as the eunuch Li Shi, the eunuch who was in charge of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Gao He, the Nanjing Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, have been targeted by the shameless emperor.

The Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau and Nanjing Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, as well as Shenbotang, Liujing supply room, etc., are all imperial merchants who weave or supply silk fabrics needed by the palace.

The local official bureau is a state-owned enterprise, and is divided into 22 weaving and dyeing bureaus in various prefectures and prefectures in eight provinces, including Zhejiang and Nanzhili, and adopts the form of weaving and centralized production.

Zhu Youxiao has asked the Ministry of Revenue to start and reorganize rules and regulations to revitalize these state-owned enterprises, and to make profits, they can also resettle more idle people who have lost land.

As state-owned enterprises, they must play a leading role. Those good machines, equipment, and labor, coupled with scientific and intensive management, can they not produce good products? Can they not make money?

Hearing that the emperor had a reward, Wang Tigan knelt down and kowtowed in great respect: "I will do my job for the emperor. As long as the emperor is happy, I will never dare to ask for rewards."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and his tone became more gentle, "Come with you, I can't know your loyalty. However, it is my principle to distinguish between rewards and punishments, so you don't have to be humble."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness." Wang Tigan kowtowed and stood up.

I stay by the emperor all day long, how could Wang Tigan not understand the emperor's temper?

If you do it well, rewards are indispensable; if you do it poorly, it is just a punishment, it is just a serious matter, and it is rarely killed.

But the emperor hates corruption the most. Whether it is a hundred officials or an internal official, don’t violate this taboo. It’s not worth losing your life for some money.

The nursing homes on the outskirts of the city have been completed and put into use, and a batch of elderly eunuchs in the palace have been sent, and they are doing well.

Many released palace maids also lived in the Imperial Courtyard. They sent documents to the government according to the address where their family lived, asking their families to claim them.

If the time is too long and you can't find your family, the External Weaving and Dyeing Bureau located in Beijing will send someone to teach the skills and learn a skill. In the future, you will find an opportunity to settle in the country or marry.

This is all the grace of the emperor, and it is also to tell other palace ladies that the problem of retirement will be solved for you. If you buy favors and corrupt, don’t blame the emperor for being ruthless.

Uncle Wei is very good at handling the matter. The emperor rewarded the house and was given a third-class kindness. Wang Tigan was competing in his heart and stayed by the emperor all day long, but he could not defeat you?

Zhu Youxiao could probably guess some of Wang Titan's thoughts, and he was happy to do this. Only with competition can there be motivation. Uncle Wei and Wang Titan's struggle to do a good job also made him worry-free.

After receiving the memorial from Li Qiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling that he could not be so urgent and hasty.

In the late Ming Dynasty, local governments missed taxes, money and grain, especially in Jiangnan, which was already quite common.

At that time, people said, "A Qinglian sent a letter to the county magistrate, and no one had ever been to the county magistrate for life, and the filial and honest subordinates of the Jia-College Department were even more inconceivable. The officials and students all sent them to him, and they owe hundreds of thousands of dollars for their responsibilities."

Generally speaking, ordinary people rarely resist paying taxes, and there are also people who have no money to pay, mainly in northern regions where natural disasters are frequent.

In the wealthy Jiangnan, there are government officials urging them to pay, and ordinary people will not have the courage to arrear the taxes of the court.

Those who act like this are rich, land, and famous gentry and landlords, and they do not pay them all, but most of them will make up reasons and use the method of paying half-payment and evading taxes.

Because gentry has the power of public opinion and discourse in the local area, many gentry have current officials in the court in their families. Local officials and officials who demand taxes generally dare not take violent measures and can only let them go.

But the court also stipulates that local officials should use other methods to supplement.

For example, they made a clever name to exploit ordinary people, as well as some businessmen without backgrounds, or said that the harvest was not good due to disasters, and asked the court to reduce exemptions, etc.

The result of the group's effect is that from gentry to local governments, a tacit understanding was formed in concealment, turning most of the taxes paid into numbers on paper.

But arrears are not a solution after all, and the IOUs you have to be paid sooner or later. So aren’t these gentry and officials afraid, just thinking about how to be arrears for so long?

Of course not. They have their own way, that is, to wait for the imperial court's amnesty or exemption.

For example, the emperor ascended the throne, had a big wedding, had a child, etc., whether the army won a great victory, or there were natural disasters in the local area. The court usually had a general amnesty or reduced local taxes.

In this way, after a few years or more than ten years of owing, can you always catch up with a wave?

Whether it is a one-year or several-year tax reduction, the gentry's arrears can legally exempt part of them, or even collude with the government to clear them once.

In order to achieve this goal, the gentry group will even take the initiative to create reasons for amnesty, such as making auspicious auspicious cases, falsely reporting local disasters, colluding with bandits to create unrest, etc.

That's right, the gentry of Jiangnan has become an interest group, ignoring the interests of the country and only caring for the fullest.

What you owe always have to pay back. The tricks of these Jiangnan gentry were repaid in history, which was the case of the cancellation of the case initiated in the early Qing Dynasty.

In front of the knife handle, the gentry in Jiangnan was swept away, and finally realized that the new master spoke with his fists, and there was also a sarcasm and joke that "Tanhua is not worth a penny".

Zhu Youxiao can do this now, but a turmoil is inevitable. It was not uncommon for gentry to incite the people to strike and market, which was not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty can definitely suppress the unrest, but this is not in line with Zhu Youxiao's plan to achieve many goals this year.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao thought about it again and again and decided to let it go. The local governments were not trustworthy, so they replaced them with effective ones and used factory guards to reconnaissance to obtain sufficient evidence and determine the precise target of the attack.
