Chapter 49: Earth-shattering changes (5)
In the face of Chongzhen's statement of borrowing money, the expressions of this group of vassal kings immediately became extremely exciting, if they want the money of this group of misers, that is, they want their lives, but they don't give it, look at Chongzhen's appearance, you vassal kings don't dare, money is important, but what do you want money to do if you don't have a life, although the princes present are all related to Chongzhen, but looking at Chongzhen's murderous appearance, no one dares to joke with their own lives.

For a while, all the princes were waiting for others to make a bird, to see what Chongzhen's reaction was, and what countermeasures they would follow, just such a group of self-righteous smart people, no one spoke first, and the scene became silent.
"Uncles of the Emperor, now that the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, I don't want to borrow some money, or do you say that you Imperial Uncles, you can't believe me, I'm afraid that I will borrow and not pay it back" Chongzhen said as he pulled out the waist knife on the nearby guard, and slowly wiped it, the meaning of the threat was self-evident.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Uncle Huang, I don't want to help Daming, I'm really powerless, there are thousands of mouths in the palace waiting to eat, and the income from the fiefdom is really beyond my means" King Fu's unlucky prince stepped forward to complain to Chongzhen, Chongzhen asked him to pay for his life, relying on his own prince's respect, without evidence, Chongzhen is the emperor can't be easy so what about him.
"Oh. That's me, I didn't expect the imperial uncles to live so hard" Chongzhen said slowly, the other princes saw Chongzhen talking so well, and they all began to cry poorly, for a while, that scene, how embarrassing it was, Chongzhen wanted to cover his face, saying that he didn't know these relatives.
"Since you imperial uncles have lived so hard, then the expenses of the royal palace in the future will be allocated by the inner treasury of my future, what do you think of the imperial uncles?" Chongzhen asked with a smile at this group of imperial vassal kings.
"So good, thank you emperor" Hearing Chongzhen's proposal, the vassal kings present were there many times, and called Chongzhen the son of heaven.
"Since you have no opinion, what should I do" Chongzhen's smile became more and more weird, seeing Chongzhen's strange smile, many vassal kings felt that there was a problem, but Chongzhen proposed so, that is, to give away silver for nothing, others have taken it, wouldn't it be a loss if you don't agree, you must know that so many people in the palace have to feed, and you can get a lot of silver a year, this is a good opportunity to eat white food, don't be in vain.
"In this case, the great companion passed the decree, in the future, the expenses of the royal palace will be responsible for the underwear, and at the same time, due to the poor management of the fiefs of the major royal palaces, the palace is unable to make ends meet, and now all the feudal fiefs of the feudal kings are collected by the central government, and the original feudal fiefs are built in the imperial village, and the eunuchs are sent to operate in the palace, and the silver obtained is used to support the palace" said that it was used to support the palace, but the money came to their own hands, and the expenses of the princes could not be borne by them, and you could not spend more than the emperor yourself.
As soon as Chongzhen's holy decree came out, all the poor vassal kings were dumbfounded, and their fiefdoms were gone. So they stepped forward one after another, "Your Majesty, no," "The emperor's fiefdom is still manageable, and there is no need for subsidies from the inner treasury" For a while, all kinds of shouts were deep in the ears, and Chongzhen who listened to it was irritable.
"The holy decree has been read in front of hundreds of officials, and there is no possibility of taking it back" Chongzhen threw down the handkerchief used to wipe the waist knife in his hand, and raised the waist knife with a wave of his hand, pointing at the kings, "Could it be that the imperial uncles want to deceive me?" ”
In the face of Chongzhen's blade that wants to kill, the vassal kings have succumbed, the emperor has killed so many officials in front of them today, if his persistence annoys Chongzhen, let him find an excuse to take the opportunity to attack the major vassal kings, then it will be fatal, in Chongzhen's eyes, many vassal kings saw the crazy light, in the choice of life and fiefdom, all the vassal kings were silent.
When the land is in his own hands, how can he spit it out, not only the fiefdoms of the kings, but also the cultivated land occupied by the hundred officials, Chongzhen does not plan to redistribute it, the little land in the hands of ordinary people, as long as the landlord takes a fancy to it, it is not yours. Soon, the divided land will be annexed again.
The area of this batch of land recovered is estimated to occupy a quarter of the cultivated land of the entire Ming Dynasty, the land annexation of this period is seriously a bit scary, there are more than 2 million acres of fiefdom of a Fu Wang, and hundreds of thousands of officials with hundreds of thousands of acres of land, there are countless people, the recovered land, Chongzhen intends to send eunuchs to build Huangzhuang, after the establishment of Huangzhuang, the land rent is stronger than other landlords to collect a layer less, to recruit local people to cultivate on a large scale.
If you want to deal with the darkness, in addition to the light, you can also become darker than the darkness, and only in this way can you take most of the land in your own hands and make yourself the largest land annexer, so as to avoid the land being annexed by other powerful people, and the land of Huangzhuang with eunuchs in charge, Chongzhen believes that there is no dog thing to come to find trouble.
As for the expenses of the group of palaces, when the time comes, the money is in their own hands, how much is the annual expenditure, then it is up to them to say, Chongzhen is not originally stupid Chongzhen himself, he has no feelings for this group of relatives, and he dares to make trouble for himself, Chongzhen doesn't mind letting Dongchang make some means, you must know that Wang Chengen next to him was originally sent by Dongchang to monitor him, but after he ascended the throne, Wang Chengen also turned over from a chess piece controlled by Dongchang to become a eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, With the ability of the East Factory, if you want a prince to die violently, it is too easy.
