Chapter 105: Reward of Fifteen Million Liang
Zhu Houzhao’s unquestionable and domineering voice shocked the entire palace.
Many officials looked pale because they were demoted one level in the performance evaluation.
It is also because officials below the third rank do not have the right to report to His Majesty!
How can this be done?
Your Majesty is trying to close the door to speech.
On the other hand, many officials of third rank and above were surprised and delighted.
In this way, your status, status and power will increase.
An official was about to stand up and remonstrate, but Zhu Houzhao took out a memorial from his sleeve and laughed angrily: "There is another person who dares to tell me that he is violating the ancestral system and fighting with the people. Lee.
Get out.”
The official who wanted to dissuade him stopped.
An official standing in the middle and back immediately trembled all over, with a look of fear on his face, and stood up tremblingly.
He knelt on the ground with a pop and said in fear: "Your Majesty, Li Wei, is here to see you."
"You are so timid, but you dare to tell me such deceptive and deceptive words."< br>
Zhu Houzhao stood up, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, with a cold and stern look in his eyes.
"You still dare to use the ancestral system to suppress me, will I be afraid?"
"You still compete with the people for profit, who are these people? Do you think I am a fool and don't know anything?
< br>Investigate all three generations of his ancestors. I want to see what kind of person he is.
Is he corrupt and bribery?
What if he is both? If it’s not good, I’ll chop you up.”
The tyrant's momentum and voice shook the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare me this time, Your Majesty~!"
As he begged for mercy, the official was dragged down.
“Whoever talks to me about the ancestral system and fighting for the interests of the people, it is best that he does both.
Otherwise, I will never spare him.
Such people are either stupid or bad. Do you think I can't see that?
Hmph.
Retreat from the court. ”
With a swing of his sleeves, Zhu Houzhao left.
Leaving behind a large group of officials who looked at each other with ugly expressions.
"Sir, Chief Assistant, we cannot allow Your Majesty to block the way of speech."
"Old Li Ge..."
····
Many officials immediately surrounded The cabinet, six ministers and others all advised him.
Liu Jian and others are helpless. Who can persuade His Majesty to do what he has decided?
Wan Sanqian and Fan Fenyang also attended this morning court and watched the whole process.
They were quite excited.
After all, he is a young man and it is his first time to go to court.
Then I saw the emperor’s supreme authority, and felt a little more at ease.
As long as His Majesty can suppress all the officials in the court, then they will have the confidence to do a good job in the Ministry of Commerce.
After all, the core of the Commercial Department is business, and this is what they are most confident about.
In less than half a day, Li Wei was convicted of various crimes and completely finished.
The affairs of the Ministry of Commerce were suppressed by Zhu Houzhao's dictatorship.
Wan Sanqian and Fan Fenyang lived up to his expectations, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce was getting faster and faster.
One month passed in the first year of Shengwu, and the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty received one month's salary.
Real money.
After receiving the money, the somewhat oppressive officialdom atmosphere in Ming Dynasty suddenly relaxed.
Voices of gratitude to Zhu Houzhao echoed in countless places.
Whether it was among civil servants or military officers, Zhu Houzhao's prestige immediately increased a lot.
February 7th.
The news that Wan Sanqian and Fan Fenyang became the ministers of the Ministry of Commerce has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
There were discussions everywhere in the court and in the martial arts world.
Mostly dissatisfied.
But no one did anything radical.
After all, the power of the imperial court is growing day by day, and no big force dares to take the lead at this time.
Small and medium-sized people did not dare to offend the Ming court.
After the first step of the plan for Jin, all the gains were finally sorted out, and the news was reported to Zhu Houzhao.
The total amount of real gold and silver is 32,698,654 taels.
The total farmland in various places is 2.6 million acres.
More than a thousand properties.
Calligraphy, paintings, antiques, treasures, etc. are about fifteen million taels of silver.
The commercial assets are the largest, about 200 million taels of silver.
There are more than 18,600 people in the world.
Eleven innate masters who were captured alive.
These are the general gains.
Zhu Houzhao looked at it for a while and showed the harvest to the top officials of the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the few remaining people in the military cabinet.
After reading it, everyone was silent.
Compared with this harvest, the imperial court's annual income is really like a beggar.
And those hidden acres.
Of the 2.6 million acres of farmland recorded in the imperial court, only about one million acres are left, and a small half of this million acres does not need to be taxed.
All in all, there are many questions, so many that Liu Jian and others are speechless.
The only thing that can be defended in my heart is that they are also innocent. The problem is not theirs and they can't stop it.
“I don’t want to say more about the problems in this, you should all know it.
Whoever dares to say anything about stopping factory guards or being unable to conduct audits in the future should find a place to die. Well, I don’t want to talk nonsense anymore.”
Zhu Houzhao shouted with an angry look on his face.
No one could say anything against it.
"Zhuanzhi, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang have done a good job this time, and the rewards are calculated as three hundred million taels of silver. Jinyiwei and Dongchang will be rewarded with a total of fifteen million taels of silver.
The details of the rewards must be clear, and the meritorious officials must not be allowed to take less.”
“All the land, real estate, paintings, calligraphy, antiques, etc. belong to me.
The Ministry of Commerce must send people as soon as possible to rectify these businesses in Jin. ”
In front of all the ministers, Zhu Houzhao took out fifteen million taels of silver to reward Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
The faces of all the officials were quite heavy.
This is a naked warning to them and a slap on their face
With these huge amounts of real money rewards, it is conceivable that the factory guards will become completely rampant
Only Wan Sanqian and Fan Fenyang had hidden joy in their eyes.
The Commercial Department is about to officially start operations.
This business in Jin land worth 200 million taels of silver is their first battle.
Asking the others to go down, leaving thirteen thousand and two people behind, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "With the addition of the businesses in Jin, how much money can the Ministry of Commerce probably make this year?"
For this question , Thirty thousand and two people had obviously expected and prepared for it.
Fan Fenyang first said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Commerce's current business worth 500 million taels of silver has no working capital.
For the time being, it relies on the cash left by the minister and the other two to support it. Normal operation, unable to expand.
At this time, these businesses belong to the imperial court, and many unnecessary profits can be recovered directly.
By the end of the year, they should be able to make a net profit. About four thousand taels of silver
But if you want to expand, you can’t withdraw all of it by the end of the year, at least half of it must be left.”
Wan Sanqian nodded in agreement.
Then he continued: "After the business merger of Chen, Lord Fan, and Jin, the profit should be increased by about a few million taels of silver."
"That is He said that by the end of the year, I can spare more than 20 million taels of silver for use," Zhu Houzhao said.
"Exactly." Thirty-two people nodded.
“Okay, I understand, you go and do your work.
Remember, there is no need to have any scruples, just do your best.
I and the entire Ming Dynasty are supporting you.
Whoever dares to stop me, no matter who it is, the Grand Master, the Grand Master's extreme realm, even the realm of heaven and man, I will definitely eradicate him.
But I must not forget my request to you. You must not harm the people at the lowest level. Do you understand? "Zhu Houzhao said seriously.
"Yes, I understand. "Three thousand and two people responded solemnly.
My heart is also burning.
This feeling of not having to worry about so much was completely unimaginable in the past.
It is comfortable and happy, as if you are high-spirited, the world is vast, and you can fly freely.
The two left with pride.
On the way back to the Ministry of Commerce, Wan Sanqian smiled slightly and said: "Brother Fan, do you feel completely different from before?"
"Yes." Fan Fenyang smiled heartily: "It's completely different. I feel relaxed all over."
Wan Sanqian nodded in agreement.
The two of them can resonate with each other because they are both genuine big businessmen.
Big businessmen like them seemed to have unlimited success in the past.
But in fact, you have to be scrupulous about everything and bow your head in almost everything. The righteous path, the evil path, the devil's path, the government, and even the green forest, etc., all have to take back three points and share most of the benefits with others.
Only then can they continue to exist.
It’s not that they have no power to resist anyone, but that businessmen seek peace and wealth.
We simply cannot survive without resorting to force.
Because in the eyes of people in the world, businessmen are a lowly business.
Even big businessmen like them are still a piece of fat in the eyes of senior people.
If we don’t feed them, how can we allow them to do business?
It’s fine now.
The Ming court is here, who dares to deal with them on the surface?
Not even in secret.
With His Majesty’s temper, he will never give up.
I am afraid that only commercial means can be used to deal with them openly.
But when it comes to business methods, what are they afraid of?
"Brother Fan, let's work together to see how big this business can be?" Wan Sanqian said meaningfully.
Fan Fenyang's eyes flashed, he smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, what Brother Wan said is exactly what I want.
The Ming Dynasty, all countries, this world is really vast."
"Brother Fan is so generous." Wan Sanqian said with a heartfelt smile.
They are all young people with passionate ambitions.
This partner and opponent is very good.
The imperial court continued to wrap up the affairs of the Jin Dynasty. When Zhu Houzhao's imperial edict reached the Jin Dynasty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were all excited.
Fifteen million taels of silver!
Things that I never dared to think about before.
Now comes their reward.
More than 5,000 Jin Yiwei and more than 400 people from Dongchang are all excited and want to catch more corrupt officials.
Guo Bujing, Cao Zhengchun, Weng Taibei and other senior officials are also smiling.
They know very well that with this batch of silver rewards, the strength of Jinyiwei and Dongchang will grow rapidly and they will be able to do more.
At the same time, they themselves can also get a lot of money.
No one dislikes money earned openly and honestly, including the powerful Grand Master.
Of course, the money cannot be distributed now.
Mainly the arrested officials still need to be reviewed by the three departments.
The money will not be released until it is confirmed to be correct.
