Chapter 418 The Emperor is also short of money (three more votes!) )

"It's going to cost some."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, felt that what Queen Zhang said made sense, and then nodded and said, "Then let's follow last year's example, let's not change the rules." ”

Empress Zhang nodded, and said helplessly: "Then it's all up to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao also remembered one thing, that is, he should do something else. He asked, "The prince is about to take 100 days, right?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Empress Zhang nodded and said, "It's really fast." ”

"Then there should be a 100-day feast." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, how could Empress Zhang not know what the emperor was thinking?

It's a psychological imbalance. Reward the courtiers, there is no money back, and the heart is not happy.

For her own emperor, Empress Zhang still understands it. He likes money very much on weekdays, and when he spends money, he is also lavish, and he is never stingy.

For example, the Hundred Gongyuan and the New Army, they are all big money-burners, but he is not soft at all when he throws money into it, millions of taels or tens of millions of taels are thrown in, and he does not frown.

But he was very stingy in some expenses, such as rewards for his courtiers and making clothes together on weekdays, so he frowned. The palace spent a little silver, and it made him feel distressed enough.

Empress Zhang knew that this was a good thing, after all, the emperor knew that he was thrifty. But it can't be too much.

Four dishes and one soup per meal are counted, and if you want to save some money during the Mid-Autumn Festival. But if you want to hold a 100-day banquet, isn't it clear that you want to collect money from your courtiers?

How can this work?

This is definitely not something that the emperor can do.

Empress Zhang said: "Just do it in the palace." ”

Zhu Youxiao was very helpless, and he also knew that this matter would not work.

If you put the news out, I believe that there will be a lot of people who support it. But if you can't do this, you will be scolded behind your back. Not good, not good.

But it's still possible to do it in the palace.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Then let's do it in the palace and summon some royal relatives into the palace." If you do it in the palace, you don't need to invite other people. I am strict and frugal, and I can't break the rules. ”

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's distressed look, Queen Zhang almost didn't laugh.

However, Empress Zhang didn't dare to laugh, and after glancing at the map behind her, Empress Zhang said directly: "This matter will be arranged by the concubine." If nothing else, the concubine will retire. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "A new batch of lambs has come into the imperial dining room, and they will eat roasted whole sheep at night." You call Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan and eat together at your place. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Zhang agreed and said, "The concubine will arrange it when she goes back." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, watching Empress Zhang leave, his face gradually became serious.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and said directly: "Go and find Zhao Bingzhong, Chen Qiyu and Chen Sihai." ”

Hearing that the emperor was looking for these three people, Chen Hong's heart trembled. It's going to be an accident!

Among the current Ming Dynasty, there are several officials who are very famous, including Zhao Bingzhong, Chen Qiyu, and Chen Sihai. These three can be said to be famous.

Zhao Bingzhong and Chen Sihai, that is a reputation piled up with countless official hats. These two people scolded a lot outside, and even directly said that the two of them were cool officials comparable to Lai Junchen, planting and framing, and the means and means came as soon as they came, and they were not good people at all.

The reputation of the two of them is even worse than that of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

As for Chen Qiyu, this person is even more respectful of everyone.

When he was an official in Henan, Chen Qiyu overturned the entire officialdom in Henan with his own strength, and by the way, he also overthrew King Fu, which can be said to be prestigious.

Chen Qiyu is now the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and the limelight is even more unparalleled for a while. He strictly enforces the law in the capital, and he will be prosecuted for violating the law, and he is not merciful at all. Such people make people fearful and hateful at the same time.

Together, these three are the big killers in the Ming officialdom. In such a situation, no one dares to ignore these three.

Now the emperor wants to find all three of them, this is something to happen.

Chen Hong hurriedly ran out.

He didn't dare to slack off on this matter, if this delayed the emperor's affairs, it would be over.

When Chen Qiyu and the three of them were found, they were all confused.

What is this to do?

Could it be that Your Majesty is going to find out who else is going to be checked?

Judging from the current situation, it seems that someone from the capital?

However, Chen Qiyu and the three did not ask each other, and it was not good to collude in private.

After walking into the main hall together, Chen Qiyu and the three of them hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The ministers will see Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Qiyu and the others, waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." ”

After the three of them stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I brought the three of you here, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

Chen Qiyu and the three of them hurriedly bowed down to listen, waiting for Zhu Youxiao to assign them tasks.

"Recently, someone wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that a lot of land in the capital is unknown and all of it has been occupied. Xungui and Xunqi are lawless, obviously not from their own family, but they occupy their own family, and there are many such things. ”

"I also don't think this matter is advisable, so I brought you here and wanted to check it out."

Zhu Youxiao walked down the steps and said, "It's just that in this way, you will offend some people." This errand is not easy to do, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others, so I can only leave it to you. ”

Just these three Chen Qiyu, Zhu Youxiao can be said to love and care, and he doesn't dispatch them easily. Not at all until the last resort.

Now that no one else is suitable, Zhu Youxiao can only find the three of them, and only they can do this matter.

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Qiyu and the three of them understood what this meant. Obviously, His Majesty wants to take stock of the fields around the entire capital to see if there is any greed and occupation.

There have always been many such things, and everyone knows that they occupy the land of the public family, and even more so the nobles and relatives.

"Your Ministers understand." Chen Qiyu and the three hurriedly agreed.

"Not only the families of officials should be investigated, but also the relatives of the emperor and the country, and even temples and Taoist temples should also be investigated. Anyone who encroaches on the land must be registered; Those who build houses without title deeds must also be registered. At the beginning of the inventory, not a single acre of land in Shuntianfu was allowed to be sold. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Qiyu hurriedly agreed.

This matter itself is not too difficult, the difficulty lies in those officials and nobles. Once they are found, it is very likely that something will happen, and they will be splashed and rolled, and it is not for people to beat them, and it is not for them not to fight.

However, Chen Qiyu and the three of them are not worried about this, they all know His Majesty's temper. King Fu's mansion has been cleaned up, so naturally these people in the capital are not bad.

What's more, the new title is about to be launched, and now the capital can be said to be panicked, and it is estimated that no one will come forward to make trouble. This is a good opportunity.

"Alright, then you can do it." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

Chen Qiyu and the three of them bowed down and said, "The ministers are leaving." ”

After saying this, the three of them withdrew together.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Zhu Youxiao returned his gaze to the map again, and the expression on his face was very satisfied.

After this inventory. I'm sure I'll be able to clear out a lot of land. Of course, it's impossible to want those gardens. Those people couldn't have built a house without a title deed.

However, Zhu Youxiao also thought of another thing, is it possible to classify the land?

It is divided into commercial, industrial and cultivated land.

No house is allowed to be built on cultivated land.

Only commercial land is allowed to build shops.

Only industrial land is allowed to build factories.

As for residential land, it needs to be approved. Anyway, the prices are different, and you have to spend whatever you want to do.

If you want to build a house, you have to buy residential land; If you want to build a shop, you have to buy a shop site. Under this division, you will inevitably be able to make a lot of money.

However, this policy will not be able to be rolled out in a while, and if it is to be launched, it will definitely be implemented nationwide. If it is implemented only in Beijing, it is estimated that all parts of the country will set off to buy geothermal heat.

Not only to buy geothermal energy, but also to build a house, isn't that against their original intention?

Zhu Youxiao's original intention was to get the money into his own pocket, not to let these people take the opportunity to make money. Although he was eager to do this, he still suppressed the idea.

Pack up these people first, and when this new city is built, you will be able to make a lot of money at that time.

Things have to be done one by one, meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and money must be earned little by little.

However, there is one place that you can consider tidying up.

Zhu Youxiao's gaze crossed the capital on the map and fell to an inconspicuous place, this place is called Zhangjiakou.

At present, the most developed place for smuggling trade is probably Zhangjiakou. In later generations, there was a very famous saying, called going to the west exit. There should be signs of it now.

There are about two routes to the west exit, one is from the central and northern parts of Shanxi, and the other is to the west, passing through the Hukou Pass and entering the Mongolian steppe.

The other road goes east, passes through Datong, and enters Mongolia through Zhangjiakou.

Now the road to the west is not easy to walk, there are many checkpoints, and the population is not large. On the contrary, Zhangjiakou is a very important place, which can communicate between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland.

The smuggling trade here is very developed, and grain, iron tools, and all kinds of equipment can be smuggled out in Zhangjiakou.

Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhangjiakou, recalling it in his mind, and began to ponder in his heart.

He wanted to use the knife against Zhangjiakou, naturally not because of trade, but because of money.

If official trade with Mongolia can be launched, Zhu Youxiao is willing to do so, but not for the time being, and he will have to find a way later.

Before the official trade can begin, these people who make a fortune by smuggling will also have to be disposed of. It's just that how to deal with it and when to deal with it will take a moment.
