"Father, Han family, Zhang family, Cao family, Qi family, have all been copied, among which Han Ge Lao was also directly escorted into Beijing by Jinyiwei, accused of colluding with the vassal king, intending to rebel, and Cao Gong, an old Shangshu who has a deep relationship with Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party, was also escorted into Beijing, accused of colluding with the ministers of the court and the central government, and doing illegal things, in addition, the new Bangyanlang of the Qi family was also deprived of his fame, on the grounds that he formed a party for personal gain, and disregarded the kindness of the saints.

After listening to his eldest son Fan Yongkui's report, the old man of the Fan family slammed the table:

"Hmph, what is Zhu Youxiao going to do, do you have to kill all of us?"

After the old man of the Fan family said this sentence angrily, he ordered again: "Immediately pass the book to Fan Gong outside the Guanwai, and say that if the Jin merchants are not guaranteed, it will be difficult for the Houjin to survive, and I hope that the Great Khan will come to save it quickly!" “

"Yes!"

Not long after the eldest son of the Fan family left, one of them hurried in, and knelt down as soon as he saw the old man Fan: "Master, the eldest young master, he was arrested by the imperial court, and now he is outside." ”

"What!"

When the old man Fan heard this, he hurriedly walked out on crutches, and sure enough, he saw that there were countless officers and soldiers and brocade guards standing outside the gate of his house, and his son Fan Yongdou was covered in blood and was supported in front by two brocade guards.

Old man Fan has always loved his wife's son-in-law the most, and when he saw that he was covered in blood, he couldn't help but feel sad: "Son! ”

"Fuck off! I, Fan Yongdou, will never recognize the traitor **** who betrayed the court as my father! ”

Who knows, Fan Yongdou suddenly raised his head at this time and roared angrily at Old Man Fan, and said to Xu Xianchun on the side: "Lord Xu, he is the big traitor Fan Ming, and the evidence of his collaborator is the account book he hid in the house!" ”

"Very good, take us in to find it, if you find it, this official will show your majesty and spare you the death penalty!"

Xu Xianchun waved his hand, and a team of brocade guards broke into Fan's mansion with Fan Yongdou, and the old man Fan, who was still stunned, couldn't help but be stunned, others scolded him as ****, he wouldn't care, but he was scolded as **** by his most beloved son, he was really like a thousand arrows at this time, he couldn't help sighing, and then crashed directly towards a stone step.

After Old Man Fan was killed directly, the entire Fan family lost its backbone, and no one dared to resist in the slightest.

In order to survive, Fan Yongdou directly gave away all the wealth that his father had hidden for many years.

In this way, these Jin merchants, who bore huge responsibility for the decline and fall of the Chinese nation in later generations, were finally eradicated before they brought greater harm to China.

And along with it, there were other Jin merchants, not only eight families, as long as there were smuggling iron tools, medicinal materials, etc., all of them were confiscated.

At this moment, these wanton Jin merchants also began to know that His Majesty the Emperor was not a puppet to be fooled, even if they had power, but in front of the emperor, they were just a fish of swords.

Although they had people in the imperial court and in the army, almost at the same moment when they were unlucky, the officials of the imperial court either followed them as prisoners or corpses, or became mute, or even defected.

And the cronies and generals they planted in the army were either controlled before this, or suppressed just after the rebellion, or they also became turtles with shrunken heads.

No way, the people's hearts are still on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the court still represents the interests of the people, in this Ming Dynasty where the small peasant economy is still the main body, as long as the people have not abandoned the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big the merchant forces are, they can't escape the sanctions of the court, not to mention that they have really done a lot of things to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

"Your Majesty, the property of the profiteers represented by the eight Jin merchants has been confiscated, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, jade, calligraphy, paintings, silk and mansions, etc., totaling 112,600,000 taels of silver, and 36,000 hectares of land, 32 civil officials of the fourth rank and above and military attachés of the second rank and above have been arrested, including Han Yi, the former head of the cabinet, as well as countless talents and juren, plus more than 10,000 men and women such as slaves."

Half a month later, the action of confiscating the eight major Jin merchants was basically over, and Wang Chengen also handed a thick pile of folds to Zhu Youxiao.

However, when he heard that he had obtained 112.6 million taels of silver at once, he couldn't help but be surprised, because as far as he knew, the Ming treasury plus his own internal money was only about 10 million taels a year.

People say that the Ming Dynasty died in property, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, a large amount of wealth is concentrated in the hands of the privileged class, and the common people and the court have no money, but the court can only levy taxes on the majority of the people, and have to increase the dispatch when it comes to war, so the people are more and more sad, and the majesty of the court is declining more and more, but these gentry and businessmen can take the opportunity to make a fortune, buy and sell, and fill their pockets.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, fortunately, he eradicated these moths in time, if it was a moment later, when it was the last year of Chongzhen, I was afraid that I would not be able to help these rats who had completely corroded the foundation of his Ming Dynasty.

Now that he has obtained so much wealth at once, Zhu Youxiao can deal with any crisis at least in the next few years, don't the people of Qin want to follow Li Zicheng to revolt, okay, I will buy food for you with money and feed you, do you still want to follow Li Zicheng to rebel? Didn't the border armies everywhere shout that the military salary was in short supply and they wanted to mutiny, and I made up the military salary for all of you, and you were embarrassed not to give me the battle to kill the enemy? The Donglin Party doesn't think they control the economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, but with these hundreds of millions of taels of silver, are they still under your control?

However, when he thought of the Donglin Party, Zhu Youxiao, who was addicted to copying his home, couldn't help but have his eyes shining, secretly thinking that the eight Jin merchants had been eliminated, and the revenge against the Donglin Party had to begin.

"All the real estate was sold, the land was filled into the Huangzhuang to continue to recruit displaced people to farm, and the prisoners were sent to Liaodong to repair the city wall except for the 32 court officials such as the first assistant Han Yi and the Donglin Party, and the rest were sent to Liaodong to repair the city wall for me, and the slaves were executed together with those who were seriously responsible and had a close relationship with the master, and the rest of the innocent people were filled into the Huangzhuang, and their fields were divided into the money and grain to make them self-reliant."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Li Mingrui suddenly made a gesture at him: "It can save countless slaves from the death penalty, Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!" ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, he actually secretly felt that he was too ruthless, after all, in modern times, even if one person commits a serious crime, his family will not be implicated, and now he has to sit and ask for the crime for political considerations, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of these ministers, he has become a benevolent and righteous king, no matter what, benevolence is benevolence, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to deny it, so he nodded and said: "They are all my people, if it weren't for the heinous crimes, how could I bear to butcher each other." ”
