"Metropolitan Governor ......" Xue Wentao didn't know what Li Zicheng meant for a while, so he didn't dare to sit down, but just froze in front of Li Zicheng.

"The governor of Pontus is very busy, so he won't talk nonsense," Li Zicheng said: "The location of the silver and grain in the Shu Palace, Xue Changshi won't know it, right?" ”

"Shu Wangfu...... This ......" Xue Wentao hesitated for a moment before walking to the inside of the study, "Governor, please enter the room with the villain." ”

Li Zicheng got up, He Xiaomi also accompanied him, and entered the ear room in the inner room, which was not big, except for a mahogany bed covered with a brocade quilt, only a mahogany table and chairs, simple, but luxurious.

Xue Wentao approached the head of the bed, pried up a brick that was not unusual, then pulled away and pointed his hand, "Dadu Governor, this is the place where the silver is hidden in the Shu Palace." ”

Li Zicheng walked over slowly, and when he looked sideways, there were a lot of fifty-one ingots in it, as well as some broken silver, and the total number was not less than 10,000 taels.

However, since there is broken silver, it should be used daily, and the real Tibetan silver, how can the broken silver be left? Unless it's an extreme miser!

"Xue Changshi, this is the treasury of the Shu Palace?"

Xue Wentao's face did not change, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the villain only knows about this silver vault, as for whether there is another place, the villain doesn't know, the villain is a long history, after all, it is an outsider......"

The family of the King of Shu has already died in the well, if only they know, the silver treasury of the King of Shu's mansion will never see the light of day?

This Xue Wentao still wants to push it far, but now in Chengdu Mansion, the Heavenly Mandate Army has the power of life and death, and even the emperor can't control it!

Li Zicheng remained silent and said: "It seems that the governor of Pontus is still too merciful, so merciful that the people no longer know the law......"

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" Xue Wentao knew that the situation was not right.

Li Zicheng suddenly withdrew his smile, his face turned pale, and said: "Xue Changshi concealed the Tibetan silver of the Shu Palace, did he plan to transport it to No. 18 Hongbu Street?" ”

Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to flow out of an ice cave, cold and cold, and his face was also as heavy as frost, as if he was about to have a goose feather snow at any time.

The face is as pale as a knife!

Xue Wentao saw a murderous aura on Li Zicheng's face, and his heart was suddenly cold, like a gust of cold wind, passing through his mouth and pouring into the soles of his feet......

18 Hung Bu Street...... It seems that he knows everything, is this going to be all over the house?

He is the long history of the palace, the highest civil minister, and the rogues will naturally find him, but it's a pity for the children......

The King of Shu is dead, is it still necessary? Who can guarantee that the location of these silver hides is not known to others except himself?

Although it was summer, Xue Wentao's face was dripping with cold sweat, and after a moment of stalemate, he finally bowed to the ground, "Governor, I said, I will say everything......"

Li Zicheng still had a calm face, "If you say it cleanly, you and your family will be fine, your little family property is compared to the palace, but it is a drop in the bucket, and the governor of Pontus can not raid the house!" ”

"Thank you, little man!" Xue Wentao wiped the cold sweat on his face and secretly fell on the mud floor, but he still felt cold sweat in his heart.

Xue Wentao explained the three silver vaults of the Shu Palace, most of which were yellow and white, and there were not many jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Li Zicheng counted it, but he was taken aback, there were 800,000 taels of silver alone, and 60,000 taels of gold, which were converted into silver, at least 600,000 taels, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., could not be valued for the time being.

No wonder the Shu Mansion has the reputation of "the first domain in the world"!

There is also a silver vault outside the city, which hides 400,000 taels of silver, I don't know why the king of Shu put the silver outside the house, but it is on the Wudan Mountain near the Yamen of the Buzheng Division, and there is a Yamen of the Buzheng Division to watch, and there is no need to worry about who will steal it.

The food is also amazing, just one Shu Wang's Mansion, 2.3 million stone grain was confiscated, enough for 50,000 Heavenly Mandate troops to eat for ten years.

Xue Wentao also told Li Zicheng that ninety percent of the cultivated land around Chengdu Mansion and seventy percent of the land in the entire Chengdu Mansion belonged to the Shu Wangfu, the Taiping Wang, and the Neijiang Wangfu.

Li Zicheng was not interested in this, and the new "Land Law" had to be implemented everywhere the Mandate of Heaven Army went, and the land still had to be distributed to the people free of charge, as long as the people paid taxes normally.

However, a few royal palaces have encroached on so much arable land, and when it is distributed to the people in the future, the Mandate of Heaven Army will definitely be able to get the support of the majority of the people, and for the people, the land is the root of life# and can theoretically be passed on for eternity.

The last thing to be confiscated was the shop, the imperial court clearly did not allow the clan to participate in business, but in order to make profits, the clan would more or less open some hidden shops, which were operated by others, and the palace was just hidden behind the scenes.

Sure enough, as Li Zicheng expected, half of the shops in the entire Chengdu Mansion directly belong to the Shu Wangfu, according to Xue Wentao's estimates, plus the Taiping County King and the Neijiang County King, as well as a large number of Zhenguo generals, auxiliary generals, Fengguo generals, Zhenguo lieutenants, auxiliary lieutenants, Fengguo lieutenants, Chengdu Mansion has at least seventy percent of the shops, belonging to the Shu royal family.

These parasites!

Li Zicheng couldn't help but scold, the shops that belong to the clan don't have to pay taxes, which goes without saying, anyway, most of the time, the Ming Dynasty just gave up collecting commercial taxes.

But so many shops belonging to the clan, with the support of the royal government behind them, will seriously disrupt the market order and violate the basic laws of economic development.

These shops are all the property of the Shu Palace, and it stands to reason that the Heavenly Mandate Army should take over, regardless of whether they pay taxes or not, the Heavenly Mandate Army will have a certain profit.

However, Li Zicheng thought about it for a long time and still had a new idea.

In the following two days, Li Zicheng raided the palaces of Taiping County and Neijiang County, and turned the mansions of General Zhenguo, General Fuguo, General Fengguo, Lieutenant Zhenguo, Lieutenant Fuguo, and Lieutenant Fengguo upside down.

660,000 taels of silver, millions of stone grain!

These are all strategic materials, Li Zicheng will definitely not be polite, the clan has enjoyed it for hundreds of years, and it is time to live the life of an ordinary person.

There are also their farmlands and shops, and Li Zicheng also laughs at them.

Zhu Zhilu, the king of Taiping County, and Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang County, were cut to the common people, and the palace was confiscated, and the rest of the Zhenguo generals, auxiliary generals, Fengguo generals, Zhenguo lieutenants, auxiliary lieutenants, Fengguo lieutenants, etc., were also cut to the common people, but the mansion was retained, and everything in the house was not confiscated.

Li Zicheng is not ready to kill more, so he will leave them with the necessary living materials.

However, Zhu Zhilu, the king of Taiping County, and Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang County, lost some of their property, and even their mansions were expropriated by the Mandate of Heaven Army, so it is estimated that they can only go to Beijing to cry to Chongzhen.

When Wang Weizhang heard the message, he not only sighed, but he didn't expect his angry words that day to come true: the Shu Wangfu really became Li Zicheng's line.

In Chengdu, he had the best personal relationship with Chen Tingmo, the envoy of the inspection, and the two discussed, once the Chengdu Mansion, the Shu Wangfu and other clans were lost, the court would definitely not be able to go back, so they both asked to see Li Zicheng and asked to join the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Li Zicheng wanted to raid the palace in the past few days, and he had no time until Guo Shijun came to Chengdu, and he took the time to meet with the two, Wang Weizhang was appointed as the prefect of Chengdu, and Chen Tingmo was appointed as an independent judge in Sichuan Province, specializing in criminal and civil litigation.

Guo Shijun took over as the governor of Sichuan Province and was the highest civil affairs official, Wang Weizhang was a subordinate of the lineage, and only Chen Tingmo was not subject to Guo Shijun's control.

The Sichuan Provincial Government Yamen, that is, the original political secretary Yamen, in the west of the city at the southern foot of Wudan Mountain, the new Chengdu Mansion continues to use the original Dongzheng Street Yamen.

Li Zicheng was most concerned about the collection of taxes, and in the case of temporary vacancies in some departments, the Sichuan Salt Division, the Tax Division, and the Tea Bureau in the east of the city were merged into the Sichuan Taxation Department, with Shi Xue Wentao, the former governor of the palace, as the director, and Guo Shijun, the governor of the province.

All new officials, before taking office, need to learn the three laws of the Mandate of Heaven: the land law, the industrial and commercial law, and the tax law.

As for criminal and civil lawsuits, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office has not yet formulated the relevant laws, and the "Da Ming Law" is still used for the time being.

In the past three days, Li Zicheng was not idle, he concentrated silver, gold and other property in the original Shu Palace, and ordered people to clean up all the shops belonging to various palaces in Chengdu Mansion.

Immediately issued a circular to summon the shopkeepers of these shops in the main hall of the Shu Palace, Guo Shijun, as the governor of Sichuan Province and Xue Wentao in charge of taxation, also attended the meeting.

"The Grand Duke!" Each shopkeeper can mix in the shopping mall, and he is naturally good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Li Zicheng, he bowed to the ground one after another, pouting his buttocks one by one.

"Get up!" Li Zicheng had a smile on his face, not at all like the legendary thief who killed people without blinking, if it weren't for the strange costumes, maybe in the eyes of others, he was still a student.

"In front of the Grand Governor, how can there be a seat for grass people......" Although the shopkeepers got up, they didn't dare to sit down, dozens of people stood straight in front of Li Zicheng, tall, short, fat and thin, uneven, but everyone's face, no matter how deep it was hidden, was more or less uneasy.

"The Metropolitan Governor gives up your seat, you sit down, why is there a lot of nonsense?" He Xiaomi pulled out his waist knife, shook it in front of his eyes, and pointed the tip of the knife at everyone.

The shopkeepers in the front row were all taken aback when they saw the blade, and they dodged backwards one after another, as if He Xiaomi's waist knife had reached the tip of their noses.

The people behind were trampled on the surface of their feet, and they wanted to retreat, but they couldn't move under their feet, and some people fell to the ground, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.

Li Zicheng laughed secretly in his heart, only then did he show the knife, and he was still far away from them, this is too exaggerated, right? He smiled faintly and said, "Don't be impatient, they are not the enemies of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and they don't need to dance knives and guns......"

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi returned the knife to the sheath, but he glared at it, and pointed to the rows of benches again, and the shopkeepers had to confess to Li Zicheng, and dropped half of his buttocks on the bench, as if squatting on a horse.

This is the best, just to save time, Li Zicheng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why the governor of Pontus summoned you today? ”

The shopkeepers were silent, all staring at each other with big eyes and a blank look.

Pretend to be confused! Li Zicheng scolded secretly, these are worthy of the elites of the business world, if they can't see the coffin, they won't shed tears!

Since you are playing tricks with Pontus, then Pontus will show you.

Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said: "These days, the governor of Bendu has found out that you are all the treasurers of various palaces, that is to say, these shops under your name belong to the palace, and the Mandate of Heaven army entered Chengdu and did not commit any offense against the people, but we will confiscate all the property of the palace!" ”
