The crackdown lasted until noon the next day, and many bandits hiding in the sewers were still stubbornly resisting. Luo Sigong specially approved the use of fire oil, the use of fire power such an extreme method.

At noon the next day, Zhu Youxiao received Wang Liqian's first battle report.

That night, more than 2,300 city foxes, snakes, and rats were arrested for violating law and discipline, including 24 who participated in the harvesting and cutting, and more than 70 bandits who resisted stubbornly were shot on the spot.

"The decree is that this strike hard must be ended before the unitary time." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"In addition, all those who are arrested must be screened, and those who kill will pay for their lives, their family property will be confiscated, those who will be harvested and cut will be delayed, their family property will be confiscated, those who are innocent will be released, and all others will be confiscated into the army. Those who have made meritorious contributions shall be dealt with as appropriate, and those who have slipped through the net shall be issued by the Criminal Department with a document on sea fishing. Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"No."

Although the large-scale strike hard campaign has ended, there is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up, and it is expected that it will take at least half a month to complete the crackdown.

……

West Fourth Archway, Ming Dynasty, the execution ground is set here, according to the regulations, beheading and Ling Chi are executed under the west and east archways respectively.

From the seventh day of the crackdown, those who have been convicted of crimes have been sent here for execution, and since the beginning of July, people have been sent for execution. The entire Ming Empire was shaken, and it had not been a long time since the execution of a prisoner had been carried out so quickly, on such a large scale, and for so long.

Moreover, this matter involved a lot of officials from Shuntianfu, as well as personnel from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and hundreds of people were removed from their posts for investigation. Zhu Youxiao also agreed with the cabinet's proposal, adhering to the principle of lenient punishment, only those who involve human life or have a relationship with the harvester will be punished, especially those who have a relationship with the harvester and the cutter, once the crime is confirmed, he will be immediately beheaded.

All this did not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people in Jingshi.

The newspapers of these issues of the "Ming Imperial Daily" also listed the crimes of the executors one by one. Under the propaganda of the "Daming Imperial Daily", most ordinary people were very supportive of Zhu Youxiao's crackdown. The civil customs and public security environment of the entire Shuntian Mansion have been greatly improved, not to mention that the house is not closed at night, the road is not left behind, at least the city foxes, snakes and rats that used to do evil will either be caught, or they will be divided a lot, and even the begging people have collected a lot, especially the people who use children or disabled people to beg, and they are swept away.

Sun Chuanting is now Zhu Youxiao's newly appointed commander of the Second Army of the New Army. The barracks are the barracks of the former New Army, but the current barracks are still expanding, and they used to be only 30,000 barracks, and Zhu Youxiao is preparing to expand to the scale of 100,000 people.

Although the entire barracks are still under construction, new recruits are being sent to the barracks every day. Every new person who enters the barracks must do a month's work in the barracks with the red background five-clawed golden dragon flag and the begging army, which is Sun Chuanting's rule. Now that they are sent to the barracks, they used to be city foxes, snakes and rats, and Sun Chuanting did this to temper their temperament first.

Escape was almost impossible, and a large number of Praetorian Guards were deployed outside the entire new barracks, which were heavily guarded. It's just that the farther away the nationwide strike hard action is from Beijing, the worse the effect becomes, and the state capitals in Beijing and the surrounding areas are very strong, and when they reach remote areas, they basically become a formality. After a nationwide crackdown, only more than 37,000 people were provided for the new military camp.

In July of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Yellow River broke in the Kuishan embankment in Xuzhou, the northeast Guanzhou City, and the water depth in the city was one foot and three feet.

The cabinet decided to request Zhu Youxiao to transfer money from Neinu for disaster relief.

"Your Majesty, Xuzhou has been affected by the disaster, and the disaster relief is urgent, and I hope that Your Majesty will allocate 5,000 taels of silver from Neinu for Xuzhou disaster relief." Han Yi said.

"Is five thousand taels of silver enough?" Zhu You has no concept of this.

"It's barely enough." Han Yi hesitated for a moment and said.

In 1602, the treasury spent only 138,000 taels. Xuzhou was affected by the disaster, and the situation of the disaster was compared to those major disasters, and five thousand taels of silver was already a lot.

"In this way, I will allocate 10,000 taels of silver from Neinu for this disaster relief, and at the same time let Wu Youxing serve as the deputy envoy for this disaster relief, responsible for the prevention of the plague." Zhu Youxiao said. He certainly won't allocate silver, only silver dollars, and he wants to use this to push the silver dollars further. At the same time, Wu Youxing was asked to participate in this disaster relief, and Zhu Youxiao hoped that Wu Youxing would accumulate as much experience as possible in the large-scale outbreak of the plague.

"The people of Xuzhou thank the emperor for Longen!" Han Yi said happily.

"I've been wondering why my Daming's treasury income is so low? Yin can't eat the grain, what do you think? Zhu Youxiao asked.

The ministers didn't know why Zhu Youxiao suddenly threw out this question, but they all realized that the emperor must be playing some tricks again. During this period, Zhu Youxiao implemented many new policies, although these new policies were only implemented on a small scale, but the impact was huge.

"The treasury is empty, and there are many reasons for this, such as the lack of planning for the use of money, the chaos of tax collection, and the lack of clear data on how much tax the local government collects each year. Could it be that my Ming Dynasty has become smaller, or is the population decreasing? Have you thought about this? Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Youxiao continued.

Sure enough, it was going to push the New Deal again, and this idea immediately sprung up in the minds of everyone present.

"Your Majesty, now that the new policy has been implemented several times in succession, the specific results are not yet known, and if the new policy is implemented again, I am afraid it will backfire." Li Zongyan stood up and said.

"I have also considered what Li Ge Lao said, but it is imperative to increase the treasury revenue, and now the annual treasury revenue is not to mention disaster relief, and even the military salary cannot be paid, if there is really a large-scale mutiny, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it." Zhu Youxiao said.

"I wonder what Your Majesty is going to do?" Wei Guangwei asked.

"I decided to start the pilot project in Shuncheonfu, and the pilot includes two aspects, the first aspect is that the governments at all levels in Shuncheonfu must do a good job in the financial budget, what is the financial budget, simply put, the governments at all levels decide how much money they need to spend next year before the end of this year. With this budget, waste can be avoided as much as possible, so that everyone knows how much money they have for next year. Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, and this time we will start from this 'pre-plan'. ”

"Your Majesty, no one has ever done such a thing since ancient times, and no one knows how to budget for next year, where and how much money to use? How should this budget be budgeted on the minister's side? Shen Yan said anxiously.

"Actually, it's very simple, I give a simple example, there are ten officials who join Wanping County, and the annual salary is one or two silver dollars, if there is no leap month in this year, then each person in that year is twelve taels of silver dollars, and ten people are one hundred and twenty taels of silver dollars. Then next year, if there is no need to increase the number of officials, and there is no need to raise the salary, then next year it should be one hundred and twenty taels. If there is a need for officials to make tolerances, this cost can also be budgeted, but it should be compared with this year's cost. Zhu Youxiao said briefly. It is impossible to demand it now by the standards of later generations, but only by the standards of the present.

"Chen understands, but what should I do if I encounter an emergency?" Shen Yan asked.
