693 Uninvited Guest (I)
No one knows about Yuan Huang's worries, and some people may have the same worries, but in the face of the general trend of the world, a person's power is extremely limited.
In the capital, the Jingcha storm and the raid on the house are still continuing, and this Jingcha is very different from the past several times.
In the past, everyone maintained the most basic restraint, although they were demoted and dismissed, but they did not harm their families, except for a few abandoned children who were abandoned by everyone, most of them did not break their bones.
This time it was different, a considerable number of people were broken, and many were directly destroyed by humanity.
There is such a big man as Hubu Shangshu, who says that he will take it down, that if he says that he will take it, he will copy his house, if he says that his male family members will be confiscated into the army, and if he says that female family members are sold into slavery, he will be sold into slavery.
Some people who knew the object of this Beijing inspection and knew that they were very safe went to the Teaching Department for the first time, and they really saw Yang Junmin's daughters.
Zhu Yijun still stayed on the front line under the persuasion of Shen Zheng, and allowed Yang Junmin's wife, Mrs. Yang, to commit suicide, without having to go to the teaching department to suffer humiliation, which can be regarded as extrajudicial preferential treatment.
But the other female dependents didn't have such a good opportunity, and they didn't even have the right to commit suicide before they were taken to the Jiaofang Division by Jinyiwei.
Everyone knows what kind of place the Workshop Division is.
To put it simply, it is the official open and honest Qinglou facing the princes, nobles and high-ranking officials, and the women in it are all the female dependents of the criminal officials' families, who have been pampered and well-educated since childhood, and most of them are bright and bright, full of books, which is very different from the dusty women in those folk Qinglou.
It is precisely because of this that the Department of Education is not open to the people, but to the upper class.
Specially let these female relatives of the criminal families who failed in the political struggle come in, receive a court music etiquette education, polish off all their pride and self-esteem, and then they can be sold to the princes, nobles and high-ranking officials who fancy them.
That's a lot of money, and most of that money goes into the king's pockets.
Being bought is still the best end, which means that you can regain your freedom, and you don't have to continue to suffer humiliation and abuse in the Workshop Division, some of whom can only stay in the Workshop Division for the rest of their lives, and they will be released when they are old, of course, they will be discarded, and they don't care whether they live or die.
All in all, the fate of these convicts and their dependents is bleak.
The imperial court is not sparing a hand, and it is going to kill the Jin system, or the unanimous resolution of the entire imperial court, this is really the first time in the world, Shen has always had such an energy that can connect the major factions in the DPRK and China to launch a strong attack on the Jin system, and directly overturned the Jin system.
From the beginning of April to the beginning of Beijing, until now, half a month has passed, 21 Jin officials have been investigated and punished, the death penalty has been determined, and their homes have been raided, and there are still more than a dozen Jin bureaucrats who have been controlled and are being examined, and it is estimated that the fate will be the same.
On the other hand, among the other foreign bureaucrats, only two officials from the Jiangxi faction and two officials from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang factions were taken down because their reputation was too bad, but they were not killed, but were confiscated of their property in the capital, demoted to commoners, and ordered to leave the capital and never be used.
Compared with the Jin bureaucrats who were raided and destroyed, this end can really be regarded as a good end.
But as long as you make a comparison of the charges, you can know that this practice is not deliberate.
A five-grade Jin household official, found a total of 30,000 taels of silver and silver tickets at home, found 10,000 taels of silver in the cellar of the home, 5,000 taels of gold, found a large number of gold, silver, beads and jade, a total of 30,000 taels of silver, found two genuine works of Mi Fu of the Song Dynasty, three authentic works of Huang Tingjian, and found nearly 100 pieces of bronze, gold and silver antiques, totaling 70,000 taels of silver.
In addition, after severe torture, the family spit out the fact that there are more than 10,000 acres of land and a large number of houses and courtyards in their hometown in Shanxi, which is worth almost 200,000 taels of silver, and this person also confessed the fact that he participated in the bow and arrow trade with the northern captives.
Needless to say, the capital crime is a capital crime, but the family property of a five-grade bureaucrat has actually reached more than 300,000 taels of silver, and it is conceivable how this guy with a legitimate income of only 12 taels of silver and 42 taels of silver got so much money.
Smuggling, embezzlement, gift-giving, trading, hoarding, land grabbing, and so on, are just a small microcosm of the corruption of the Manchu civil and military bureaucrats.
The silver taels obtained by the Ming Dynasty since the Longqing switch became the private collection of a very small number of people under such circumstances, and the emperor above was so poor that he couldn't even take out the silver of the army, and the people below were so poor that they rose up, and the Ming Empire collapsed.
Seriously, Luo Sigong felt that he had seen these officials thoroughly, he had mastered a lot of things, and he had basically figured out the routines of these guys, but when he saw the report of his subordinates, he still couldn't help but tremble.
How on earth can these people gather so much silver?
A five-grade bureaucrat has a net worth of more than 300,000 taels of silver, what is this concept? This is one-tenth of the annual revenue of the Ming Dynasty's treasury! This is the basic military expenditure of tens of thousands of Zhennan troops under Xiao Ruxun for a year!
Twenty-one officials were raided, this guy is not the least one, nor the most one, but the sum of these twenty-one people's family property is equivalent to the total financial income of the Ming Dynasty for four years.
Luo Sigong's hands were trembling when he saw these reports, he felt that it was like the first time he killed someone, his heart was terrified, his hands and feet trembled, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of reaction the emperor would have if he submitted these reports to the emperor.
If the emperor really knows about this kind of thing, will the emperor just be angry with the Jin family?
Jin bureaucrats do this, what about other bureaucrats? Wouldn't the emperor continue to diverge his thinking, draw inferences from one another, and then have a large-scale court-wide raid?
Luo Sigong wiped the sweat from his head.
Obviously it was April Day, and Luo Sigong felt that he was drenched in sweat.
Can this report really be submitted to the emperor?
Luo Sigong thought like this.
Just when he was thinking while breaking out in a cold sweat, an uninvited guest came to his official office, dismissed all the idle people, etc., and brought a sumptuous lunch, twelve dishes, and a pot of good wine, which was the meal of a famous restaurant in the capital, and behind it was a certain nobleman.
The luxury of the top-notch dishes on this table is unimaginable to ordinary people, and on this table, Luo Sigong is sure that it will cost no less than a hundred taels of silver.
This is one-half of the legitimate annual salary of a Ming Dynasty official after deducting various benefits and in-kind income.
"Why is Shen Ge here for the long time?"
Luo Sigong looked at Shen Cheng who was sitting in front of him, and his face was cloudy.
