Chapter 50 Getting Rich
Yesterday, Zhongxing Jiandu innate calamity, the palace thunder and earth fire are like the scene of the end of the world, because of the suppression of the golden dragon, the power of the heavenly tribulation has not leaked, and everyone knows it.
Coupled with Yang Su's sealing, there are only a few people in the palace who know that the inside story is the innate calamity of Zhongxing Jiandu, and as for the major forces like Tiangong who know the inside story, they will not take the initiative to help Yang Su publicize, so this matter did not cause a shock to the government and the public.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Village has been thoroughly investigated, and all the villagers have been given all the land, according to your will, all the people in charge of the village are executed on the spot, and Jinyiwei has executed 387 eunuchs in the village, 735 people in the official school, 864 people in the head of the village, and 1,476 people in the head of the stalls, and those who have made meritorious contributions in this thorough investigation; There are 3 eunuchs in charge of Zhuang, 12 people in the official school, 73 people in the head of the village, 183 people in the head of the stall, and the Gonggong Cao and the ministers are recorded in the register according to their merits, this is the list for the emperor to see! Luo Yangxing respectfully held the fold and knelt under the high platform.
Yang Su took the fold handed over by Wang Chengen, and first looked at the rows of red records in front of him, all of which were evidence of the corruption of the eunuchs in charge of Zhuang and the crime of disregarding human life, and couldn't help but turn pale, he couldn't hide his emotions in front of Luo Yangxing.
"You have handled it well, and these heinous people should be executed in front of the people to restore my reputation!"
Yang Su turned to the back and looked at the exploits of the three eunuchs in charge of the village, of course, these three people still collect taxes according to the custom, this is an unspoken rule for hundreds of years, even if they have good intentions, they dare not break it.
It's just that these three people are much better than the beasts in front of them, corruption is corruption, and they have not participated in forcing Zhuang Min to sell their children, and they will generally help Zhuang Min when they are in difficulty, and their taxes will be slightly reduced, and they have not done anything to disregard people's lives.
But to say that the credit is not at all in Yang Su's opinion, neither leading Zhuang Min to get rich and live a good life, nor increasing taxes for the palace, this time it is all up to the comparison of peers.
As for the other official schools and Zhuang Tou who were rated as meritorious, the same is almost the case.
"These people have no merit, but it is rare to be able to maintain their own intentions in this environment, so consider it at your discretion! Remember to show me that the royal rewards and punishments are clear, and don't let people complain that the law is too clear and the rewards are too light! I am not a stingy person, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished! Yang Su made his request clear.
Yang Su is ready to push Cao Huachun to the forefront, so he will naturally give Cao Huachun the corresponding power.
This name is not comparable to others, not only practical to him, but also to Cao Huachun, Yang Su has already given Cao Huachun the name, and now he will naturally not exceed his authority.
"Slaves and maids obey the order, and the slaves and maids must let the little ones know that His Majesty is magnificent!" Cao Huachun knelt down to receive the decree, and told Yang Su, "The emperor has copied out a total of 30,000 taels of gold and more than 800,000 taels of silver this time, and the rest of the treasures and land deeds are worth nearly one million taels in total, which have been collected in the inner treasury!" ”
"Good, good!" Yang Su smiled in surprise.
Yang Su knew that the gold and silver obtained from cleaning the Huangzhuang would definitely not be less, but he knew that there were more than two million taels in the warehouse, and he still couldn't help but be happy, the Ming Dynasty only put more than four million taels into the treasury last year, and sure enough, he still had to kill people to get rich!
Yang Su is undoubtedly very different from the previous Chongzhen Emperor, who is deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the Chongzhen Emperor, who is deeply influenced by Confucianism, will only throttle, melt the gold and silver in the palace for the army's silver salary, and wear tattered clothes himself, saving money!
And although Yang Su is not wasteful, he is not stingy in terms of personal enjoyment, he is better at killing people after living for hundreds of years, no, open source! On the contrary, this little life is much better than that of Emperor Chongzhen!
Not only does he have the money copied from his family, but he also has Ao Qingqing's help.
Ao Qingqing, who is now canonized by Yang Su as the righteous god of the imperial court, has been in a short time, but her divine power has been greatly improved compared to before, and she has been able to produce more than two hundred taels of gold for Yang Su every day, and this output is increasing with the spread of her faith!
With money in your pocket, you have the courage to do it!
Yang Su has already thought about it, and when he arranges for Huangzhuang to plant wheat and potatoes, the potatoes will only take three months to mature, and when he has money and food, he will have to start his next plan!
"The slaves and maids have the courage to take matters into their own hands, and in addition to the food rations distributed to the Zhuang people for a month, the remaining nearly two million stones are currently guarded by the Jinyi guards in various imperial villages!"
"What are your plans?" Yang Su asked curiously.
"The slaves and maids thought that they could not give too much food to the villagers at one time, and they should give them money from time to time according to the situation! You can even borrow grain from the people first and pay it back next year, otherwise it may backfire. Cao Huachun said cautiously.
"However, Hua Chun has thought about it thoroughly, and I will leave this matter to you with full authority, but there is one thing you must remember, Huang Zhuang would rather not collect taxes than ensure the livelihood of the Zhuang people, and not let them resent, this involves my future plans, Hua Chun, you have to make sure that nothing goes wrong!" Yang Su pondered for a moment and ordered Cao Huachun.
"Slave obeys!"
"There is also the investigation of the illegal and taboo of the inner servants, don't stop, Huachun, you have to take up this burden, and sweep away all these black sheep for me, we must clarify the law and discipline, set up a reward and punishment system, and set up a wind inspection department to be responsible for the anti-corruption work of the internal servants, and the post of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the wind inspection department is also concurrently held by Huachun you first, and the additional examination department is fully responsible for the punishment and assessment of the internal servants, and the eunuch who holds the seal of the examination department is held by Cheng En!" Yang Su instructed Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen.
He was about to take this opportunity to reorganize the eunuch system, clearly set up inspection institutions, and assessment institutions, Yang Su's move seemed to put shackles on the heads of the eunuchs, but it was also a precursor to his preparation to reuse the eunuchs, if he didn't put a chain on the dog, how could he take the dog out with confidence.
"The two new divisions have great responsibilities, the two of you must set up the platform as soon as possible, you can decide for yourself the personnel you need, you only need to report to me afterwards, to re-establish the reward and punishment system, the new system must do two things:
The first point of responsibility is in place! Clarify what everyone should do, and the specific work should be divided according to the position!
The second point is to reward and punish in a certain way, how to reward if you do well, and how to punish if you don't do well! Huachun's responsibility system in place is not only used to build two new divisions, but also to be extended to the entire twenty-six divisions in the future, you must consider perfecting! ”
"Slave and maid command!" Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen responded loudly.
This is the emperor's attention to them, although Cao Huachun was the nominal boss of the entire eunuch system before, but it is impossible to meddle in the internal affairs of other eunuchs, divisions, and bureaus, Yang Su's move is to give him the opportunity to truly lead the entire eunuch yamen.
However, although Wang Chengen was pleased with the emperor's attention to him, he was not as excited as he imagined, his focus was to follow the emperor and serve the emperor well!
Before, he was reluctant to even ask for the eunuch Bingbi, as for the important test of merit, Wang Chengen already planned to promote his cronies to serve as the admiral eunuch, and he was just supervising it later.
