The spring cold in Beijing in early March, coupled with the Xiaoice River period, is the time when it is warm and cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough the Son of Heaven has changed, the people in the city are still doing their own thing, as long as they can fill their stomachs, who is the emperor and what do they have to do.

King Fu in the Forbidden City originally planned to ascend the throne next month, but he was in no mood to think about ascending the throne now. The ass decided the head, and at first he thought that he had taken advantage of the chaos to pick up a big bargain, until he gradually moved away from the road of rebellion, and he realized that no matter who became the emperor, he needed to collect taxes, otherwise the government under his rule would not be able to function at all.

At the beginning, the family background of King Fu's Mansion was thick, and state and family affairs were mixed together, but as the team became larger and larger, it gradually became inadequate.

When King Fu bent down and amiably discussed the issue of taxation with the Donglin Party members, who strongly supported his accession to the throne, he was touched on the spot.

The Donglin Party of the Manchu Dynasty immediately expressed a solemn protest, feeling that this Fu Wang guy was compared with his nephew Emperor Chongzhen, and he did not have the demeanor of an emperor.

Thinking that back then, Emperor Chongzhen, who was shrinking in Saibei, did not say anything else, and when he first took power, he adopted the proposal of the Donglin Party and drastically reduced the tea tax in Zhejiang from 200,000 taels to 12 taels during the period when Wei Zhongxian controlled the government. Looking at it is the real big deal, and this is the benefit of the country and the people.

However, King Fu, the co-lord of the world who is about to ascend the throne, is so stingy that he not only collects tea taxes, but also collects mining taxes and commercial taxes.

In the eyes of the Jiangnan gentry, this is clearly to follow the old path of Xizong and Guangzong and restore nakedly, and they will not allow such perverse things to appear in the court.

After a series of activities in their hometown, the Donglin Party did not hesitate to put their views in front of King Fu: the Ming gentry firmly believed that true Confucianism did not pay taxes!

When King Fu retreated and asked the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty to donate their respective money to finance the military, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all resolutely expressed that they were clean and devoted to the country and the people, and had no money to pay taxes at all.

What King Fu saw from their faces was: If you don't order the sea ban to facilitate my smuggling, why use our money to defend your country.

In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Youqu, the king of Yingchong, gave a noble revolutionary salute to the sad King Fu, and asked with a puzzled face: "Father, those Donglin Party members are our foundation, you haven't ascended to the Great Treasure yet, why can't you get along with them?" ”

The fat King Fu sighed, got up and came to the door of the palace, looked at the blue sky outside the door, and said helplessly: "Probably because he has not received systematic imperial training, this king only understands that fighting is money in stumbling to this day."

Looking at the four seas, the territory under the rule of this king is the largest on the surface, but the cost of this king is also the largest. All the officials, who are sincerely or falsely obedient to the king, are stretching out their hands to control the king's demands, but for so long, they have been sitting on a mountain and eating empty land, and it has reached the point where there is no way to sustain without taxation.

The burden of the poor people at the bottom has almost reached the point of being revealed, and the gentry in Jiangnan have the most wealth in the world but have never paid taxes, and if they don't start from them, we will have no way to live. ”

Zhu Youqu has always been drunk today, and he is drunk today, just looking at the front of him and not behind him. Thinking that if King Fu finished playing, he would have to follow suit, his stupid instinct immediately attacked, and said angrily: "All this is due to Guan Shanyue of Daning, why didn't my father send Shuang'er to assassinate him, presumably our passive situation will be alleviated immediately." ”

King Fu's eyes lit up, and he also recently realized that the primary enemy now was not his nephew Emperor Chongzhen, but Guan Shanyue, who was jumping up and down with a bad stomach.

"Now that the matter can only be regarded as a dead horse doctor, he will set off immediately, and he is not allowed to reveal his identity even if he dies, otherwise this king will not become a laughing stock in the world. Also, Song'er, you secretly ordered the dead soldiers in your house to get rid of the gentry who made the most trouble in Jiangnan to this king, which can be regarded as suppressing their arrogance. ”

Zhu Youxiang immediately looked embarrassed, this was simply roasting him on the fire, and he was willing to cause a stain as a chicken thief, "Father, militarily, we still need to rely on Yuan Chonghuan and others, and the affairs of the Jiangnan gentry will be involved in the whole body!" ”

King Fu snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Fish and bear paws, this king wants them." Song'er, from the moment we got up, we had no way out. Just do it! Go down, this king is tired. ”

Zhu Youxiang scolded his mother angrily, but on the surface, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said respectfully: "Son, obey the king's orders!" ”

King Fu returned to the warm couch, slowly closed his eyes, and did not look at Zhu Youxiang, temporarily cutting off the connection with this world that troubled him.

Zhu Youxiang quietly glanced at the warm couch that Emperor Chongzhen had made under King Fu's buttocks, and slowly withdrew from the Wuying Palace, preparing to assassinate him.

Tianning City, in the warm pavilion on the east side of the Guanghua Palace, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the warm couch, carefully and carefully turned over Guan Shanyue's recitals, thinking that if it weren't for his own stubborn and blind command, the great Ming would not be fragmented.

He thought about it again and again, raised his head and said to Guan Shanyue in his right hand with a sincere face: "I have a general understanding of the experiences of these people, and they have all grown up from the grassroots step by step. I felt that Lu Xiangsheng could be transferred to the post of Governor of Shanxi, with Cao Wenzhao taking over his post as the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Cao Bianjiao taking over his post as commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. Wei Jingyu was transferred to the governor of Shanxi, and Zhou Yuji felt that he could serve as the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town. As for those officials in Shanxi, if they know each other, they will be retained, and those who don't know each other can be taken down. ”

Guan Shanyue felt that Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement was quite appropriate, and said tentatively: "Once these people are in place, does the Holy Lord think that they can start arresting merchants in Shanxi who are implicated in Houjin?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about it, and said categorically: "I have read all the evidence you have secretly submitted, so I don't need to interrogate it, and I will show it to the public after verification!" Without further ado, the appointment of the people, I will draw up a secret decree with you. ”

After receiving the secret order, Guan Shanyue did not dare to slack off, and after bidding farewell to Emperor Chongzhen, she immediately went to the staff headquarters to find Liu Wenxiu.

The efficiency of the Daning Staff Department was quite high, and with full firepower, it didn't take long for Lu Xiangsheng, Wei Jingyu and others to take their places.

After these young and vigorous birdmen were authorized by Emperor Chongzhen, they did not give Shanxi officialdom officials a chance to breathe, and they turned Shanxi upside down as soon as they appeared on the stage.

First of all, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shanxi, led 50,000 Tianxiong troops to enter Taiyuan Mansion from the north, and all those who did not obey were killed in public.

Then Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town, led 100,000 Daning new troops to stake land in Shanxi, and all those who did not obey were killed in public.

Then Guan Shanyue took advantage of the chaos of Shanxi officials to lead the officers and soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Battalion, the Divine Arrow Battalion and the Firearms Battalion to appoint and dismiss officials everywhere, and all those who did not obey were killed in public.

Although Guan Shanyue's actions in Shanxi were too iron-blooded, they were all forced to do so. First, this can save the trouble of eliminating redundant personnel in Shanxi's officialdom, and second, it can also avoid less bloody resistance.

After treating the enemy as cruelly and ruthlessly as a harsh winter, and stabilizing the political situation in Shanxi, Guan Shanyue ordered people to follow the map and began to hunt down the merchants associated with Houjin.

At the end of the day, as soon as the agreed time for arrest arrived, under the leadership of the investigators of the General Staff Department, all the members of the eight major families were arrested on the same day.

After their crimes were made public, they still refused to bow their heads and admit their guilt in the face of hard facts, and tried to quibble, and after the angry masses of the people educated them in the dictatorship that went deep into their bones, they were all beheaded and cremated on the spot as the targets of the dictatorship, and truly broke their bones and scattered ashes.

In line with the principle of not letting go of a bad person, and not wronging a good person. After the confiscation of the family property of these ethnic sinners, in line with the principle of curing the sick and saving people, the children under the age of 16 of each family received systematic education in Daning, and after truly realizing the sins of their relatives, they were all randomly exiled to the border gates.

Shanxi's officialdom is like a pool of stagnant water, officials are fish in stagnant water, and Guan Shanyue is a catfish that stirs up the situation. Under his agitation, those catfish who had ghosts in their hearts and ate and waited for death were all eliminated from the game with his red card.

Eliminate redundancy, promote practical talents, discover those who are truly talented and learned, re-evaluate officials, and clean up those who are not firm in their positions...... Guan Shanyue, Wei Jingyu, Lu Xiangsheng and others led their respective think tanks, and they were busy for a month, which can be regarded as a preliminary completion of the sorting out of Shanxi officialdom.

The overall situation was initially decided to win the hearts of the people, and the next step was to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Shanxi Governor Wei Jingyu successively published signed articles on the front page of "Daming Daily", using the "Daming Law" to repeatedly make it clear: Resistance is strict, and confession is lenient. Knowing but not reporting, concealing but not reporting the crime is added to the first degree. At the same time, he also established a reward reporting system. Vows to be a woodpecker and sweep away the hidden moths.

Half a month later, with the cooperation of a capable team drawn by Yuan Keli, the left imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the corrupt officials finally ushered in their own end.

After the investigation was confirmed, countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials were confiscated of all their family property, and according to the degree of corruption, they were either beheaded, or imprisoned, or exiled, or they were taken off their pants and spanked in public, or they were paraded in public......

After the confiscated embezzled property was confiscated into the state treasury for registration, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, except for taking out a part of the grain used to buy disaster relief, and the rest of the rest will be fed back to Shanxi in the form of work for relief.

While returning to Shanxi, which was embraced by the Ming Dynasty, was promoting high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, rice, and potatoes, as a populous province of the Ming Dynasty, the work of large-scale migration to the four northern provinces was also carried out without resistance.

All of a sudden, Shanxi's politics were clean and peaceful, and the people applauded.

The tide rises, and the Qingshui Yamen Ministry of Labor, which used to be the most unpopular, has now completely become a fragrant bait. Officials from Shaanxi, Gansu, and Shanxi who went to ask for the project had the opportunity to trample the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. It has become a lively place in Duoyan City, second only to the customs yamen.

After Guan Shanyue returned from Shanxi, he looked at the unprecedented lively scene in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and he was happy in his eyes, and the Ministry of Industry was getting busier and busier, indicating that the infrastructure construction in Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi was gradually entering the formality.

He knew that as long as there was work to do, the people would have money to eat. The people and thieves will become water without a source and a tree without roots, and they will gradually break down. As long as you can eat, whoever fucking goes to be a thief, it is either trying to pull the emperor off the horse or missing a string in his brain.

It's just that he hasn't enjoyed a few days of good time with his family, so Emperor Chongzhen impatiently sent Wang Chengen to summon him and ordered him to go to Guanghua Hall to meet him immediately.

Guan Shanyue, the chicken thief, judged from Wang Chengen's hurried steps that something big must have happened, swept over the cherry lips of the three ladies and a maid impartially, put on the court clothes and galloped towards Tianning City non-stop.
