Zhu Youzhen took the list in his hand and looked at it, and their net worth was about 500,000 taels of silver, which surprised Zhu Youzhen.

These people are relatively honest, and they all have such a net worth, just imagine how corrupt the Ming officials are.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes were strange, and he looked at the cabinet members of Daming, and suddenly made a surprising move.

"Click......

He tore up all the lists in his hands in three or two clicks, and immediately frightened Li Banghua and the others all knelt on the ground, they all thought that the emperor was angry and wanted to punish them.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers are guilty, please punish the emperor."

However, to their surprise, although the emperor's face was gloomy, he did not get angry.

"Duping, as my courtier, I should think about the people and the court.

I didn't expect that you would be able to embezzle and bribe so much money and occupy so much land.

You will hand over all the land you have occupied, and hand over half of the silver to the Ministry of Rites, for the sake of your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, I will let you go this time.

I hope this is the last time, and if anyone dares to make such a mistake, then don't blame me for being unsympathetic, and I will definitely be killed all over the house. ”

"The emperor let us go? It's as simple as that? ”

Several cabinet members were a little suspicious of their ears, and quietly made eye contact with each other, only to confirm that the emperor not only let them go, but also left a lot of silver for them, and did not take all of them.

Their gratitude to the emperor in their hearts can never be expressed in words, compared with Wei Zaode and others, the emperor is too kind to them.

Several cabinet members all touched the ground with their heads and kowtowed repeatedly, and some of them were already in tears and ashamed:

"Emperor Xie forgives the guilty ministers, the guilty ministers will definitely not make this mistake."

Seeing their grateful looks, Zhu Youzhen raised his hand:

"Let's all be even, you can correct your mistakes, but I'm only targeting a few of you, and other ministers don't have this treatment."

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live."

Several cabinet ministers hurriedly got up and stood aside with their hands bowed respectfully, waiting for the emperor's situation.

Zhu Youjian:

"Hubu, how are the fields and population statistics of Jingshi now?"

Fan Jingwen, the head of the household department, hurriedly stepped forward and replied:

"Back to the emperor, the field has been measured, because of the epidemic isolation, the population has not been fully counted for the time being, and Wechen will complete the statistics as soon as possible."

Because of the epidemic, the demographic must be difficult for the time being, you can understand this Zhu Youzhen, he did not blame Fan Jingwen.

Because of the plague, many people have died in Jingshi, the population has decreased dramatically, and there are many vacant houses.

The task now is to plant the fields first, and it is impossible for the common people to rely entirely on grain relief for relief.

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment and said:

"The household department should overcome difficulties and try to register all the population, so that all the people and displaced people who are currently staying in Beijing should be registered for them and settle in Beijing.

After the population is counted, they will begin to divide the land among them, and as for the number of fields per capita, you must consider the distribution in a thorough manner. ”

"Obey the decree, the household department resolutely implements the emperor's will."

Although Fan Jingwen had some objections to the distribution of land to the people and the settlement of all the displaced people in Beijing.

But he can understand it when he thinks of the massive decline in the population.

Seeing that the household department had no opinion, Zhu Youzhen said again:

In addition, I have important matters to discuss with you, and tomorrow Li Yan will lead a large army to begin the conquest of the remnants of the Liukou.

Yan Yingyuan will go out with the team, and I have appointed him as the chief soldier and prefect of Yangzhou, and you will sign the documents then.

With regard to Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan's current crackdown on bandits, all of your departments must give strong support, and you must not delay the process of reunification of the Ming Dynasty because of personal selfishness.

As long as Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan are in need, you must help them unconditionally, and you must ensure that military supplies are supplied on time and in full. ”

Li Banghua and other cabinet members bowed again:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will absolutely fully support General Li Yan, and believe that my Ming Dynasty will soon recover all the lost territory, but it is just ......"

Feeling that these people still have something to hide, Zhu Youzhen said:

"Just what? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Although they did not dare to object to the emperor's speech now, Li Banghua and others still expressed concern when they heard that Yan Yingyuan had been directly promoted from a county town warden to the prefect of Yangzhou.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, Yan Yingyuan has no merits and political achievements, and he was directly promoted from a non-grade county town to a fourth-grade senior member, which may cause unnecessary speculation."

"Yes, I hope the emperor will think twice, there is no precedent for this, I am afraid that the ministers will not accept it, and how to arrange those new officials......"

The new cabinet of the Ming Dynasty still had a disagreement with Zhu Youzhen on the appointment of Yan Yingyuan, and they all felt that it was too incredible.

A small warden has such a large promotion span, so wouldn't those officials from Nanjing still have to enter the cabinet.

When Yan Yingyuan was appointed, Zhu Youzhen had already thought that the cabinet would have objections, after all, the promotion span was too large.

Yan Yingyuan led the people of the whole city to kill so many Eastern captive generals, and finally all of them were killed in battle, after all, it has not happened yet, and there is no chance to happen.

But he is the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, a modern person who has traveled through time.

It's not the somewhat indecisive Emperor Chongzhen, does he still need the approval of the cabinet to appoint a general soldier?

A little unhappy in his heart, Zhu Youzhen's face sank slightly, and his tone suddenly became stern:

"Li Banghua, in this way, when I formed the cabinet, you didn't seem to be qualified to be the first assistant of the Ming Cabinet, and a few of you were not qualified to enter the cabinet.

At that time, why didn't I see your objections, and I didn't hear what merits and achievements you said, but a few of you talked about it, what merits and achievements did you rely on to enter my Ming cabinet.

Also, if I appoint an officer, no matter what position it is, you only need to issue the instrument of appointment, and you do not need to object, and you are not qualified to object.

I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you, don't I hold you accountable for your corruption and perversion of the law, and you just repay me like that? ”

The art of the emperor is to use both grace and power, which not only makes the ministers feel kindness, but also makes them tremble.

How can a true emperor allow his ministers to influence his thoughts and decisions?

Emperor Chongzhen, who had worked hard for half his life, was led by the nose by the ministers because he didn't understand the emperor's mental skills, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was driven to the shelves, and the apocalypse suddenly died, and he had no heirs, so it was the turn of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, to take the throne.

He was just an ordinary prince who had never been taught about the art of the emperor, which caused him to have some problems in his heart and personality in the face of great pressure.

Zhu Youzhen's tone was cold, and his face suddenly changed, which immediately made Li Banghua and the others feel cold on their backs, cold sweat broke out, and they all fell to their knees.

"Plop Plop Plop ......"

"The emperor is wise, the ministers are ignorant, and I hope the emperor will forgive ......"
