Chapter 767 15 Million Taels? 20 million taels?
Many officials have colluded with profiteers, or have secret contacts, and the Fan family and others have fallen from power, will they be involved in the future?
Everyone is afraid, everyone is afraid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the spirit of striking first, these officials will naturally unite and suppress Zhu Zilong.
These people are actually easy to find reasons for.
After all, Zhu Zilong has been very arrogant recently. Do things very straight and fast.
Even if he was the governor of the five provinces, but in this incident, many cities were not under Zhu Zilong's jurisdiction, and the Zhu family army acted on his own and did things across provinces, which was a weakness.
In these years, the matter of road guidance is no longer 100% enforced, but in terms of national law, it is a rule to be obeyed.
This alone can sue Zhu Zilong for a crime.
Also, what kind of crime is it to storm cities and fight with garrisons in various places? Hands, stretched too far, this is a serious overreach!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that these are acts of rebellion.
For a while, the impeachment of Zhu Zilong flew into the capital like rain.
Public opinion is also constantly discussing.
In the court, for Zhu Zilong's behavior. Supporters and opponents quarreled, and at last all eyes were on the queen regent.
However, the queen's attitude is intriguing.
The mountain-like twists and turns are all sunk into the sea. I don't see the queen's reply with half a word!
A few days later, the palace issued several reprimands, but the discerning person knew at a glance that this was a way to deal with big things and small things.
Immediately, countless officials who had been in trouble and frustrated at the same time could not help but feel a little sad.
Sure enough, without military power, what kind of civil and military cheapness is ridiculous.
Times are different, and the peak era of civil servants has passed. The queen is not on their side, and the emperor is not awake, how is it good?
All over the same time!
Zhu Zilong's house raid is still continuing. Seeing that one business after another was arrested and the family property was confiscated, some people adjusted their strategies again and focused on the property after the seizure, and Zhu Zilong did not have the idea of handing over 100% to the court.
This reason was immediately supported by more officials.
In addition, they believe that Zhu Zilong was involved in some officials and generals when he raided his house, and those who were arrested should also listen to the request. And not for him to exercise all the rights, which is not in accordance with the monarchy.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if an official commits a crime, all Beijing officials and officials above the fifth rank outside must listen to the request and are not allowed to ask without permission.
Even if the officials of the prefectures, prefectures and counties commit crimes, the superiors under their jurisdiction are not allowed to inquire without authorization, and they are not allowed to issue the reasons for the crimes, and they are actually sealed and heard.
This is still the law of the country, and the name is still determined by Taizu.
However, what these people don't know is how to distribute the family property, Zhu Zilong has already reported to the queen, and everyone has a share even if he is a cabinet member. Compared with the size of the official position, those at the top have already taken the benefits of Zhu Zilong.
The most important thing is that the queen is now difficult to ride a tiger, so she can only go all the way to the black one and stand on Zhu Zilong's side.
Regarding Zhu Jiajun's multi-provincial raid harvest this time, the outside world has different opinions, and there are any numbers, but one thing is certain, Zhu Zilong must have made a fortune.
Even if it is said that it is all handed over to the state, but the exact number is only known to him.
He said as much as he wanted, what can others do to him?
The so-called profiteers fall, and the four seas are full. For a time, rumors spread all over the country!
So, how much property did Zhu Zilong harvest from the raid of several traitors and super businessmen, as well as their associated alliance mansions, and many provincial properties?
Hehe, it scares you to death when you say it.
It was only about thirty or forty million taels of silver, and grain, grass and other materials were counted separately.
This is already comparable to later generations, after Li Zicheng entered the capital, he confiscated the property of the Manchu Ming Dynasty and hundreds of officials.
In that unchanged history, after Li Zicheng attacked the capital.
He ordered people to search the palace, and found that there were only 170,000 gold and 130,000 silver in the treasury of the Ouchi Mansion. Originally, he was a big reward soldier after the "founding of the country", but now there is a shortage of gold and silver, how to be good!
Under the instigation of Liu Zongmin and others, Li Zicheng ordered to "recover the stolen goods".
Order: "To offer silver to the official, a product must be worth 10,000 silver, and the following must be 1,000." Those who offer silver will be released immediately; Those who hide the silver and do not offer it will be punished and served. ”
All of a sudden, sticks flew wildly, cannons were branded, eyes were gouged out, and the miserable howls of Ming Dynasty officials sounded everywhere in Beijing.
At the same time, many wealthy people in the city were also tortured as "*** elements", and the salaries of civilians were looted by the peasant army for military use. The city was littered with hungry corpses.
After several days of torture, Li Zicheng's army obtained a total of more than 70 million taels of silver, plus other materials, and only 100 million taels of silver and property.
It is conceivable how rich the officials and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are in their homes.
Now, Zhu Zilong only raided the Fan family and a few others, as well as their multi-provincial branches, and earned at least thirty or forty million taels of silver. Not including grain and grass, this situation is not surprising at all.
It was a few days later.
There was a thunderclap, and the shocking news spread in all directions.
Because, Zhu Zilong announced to the outside world that the total amount of property seized this time was 15 million silver, 300,000 stones of grain and grass, and 10,000 carts of other materials.
After careful calculation, this can only be the sum of the previous Ming Dynasty's taxes in the past two years.
All over the Ming Dynasty, when they got the news, they were in an uproar.
Even the cabinet officials, who knew that they would have part of the income, as well as the queen and others, who had a sharing plan, were shocked.
When everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but think that Zhu Zilong and the others would definitely secretly hide some benefits. According to this estimate, the gold and silver obtained by the profiteers should be only about 20 million taels. Or even a few million taels more!
It's terrifying!
When the news spread to the grassland and outside the Saiwai, even the Houjin people who were fighting for the throne, as well as the Mongolian tribes, couldn't help but sigh for a while.
I thought that the Ming Dynasty was the dynasty of heaven in the end, and it was really rich all over the world, and a few businessmen were robbed of their homes. Their net worth exceeds the total wealth of their country, and they are really x dead camels, bigger than horses.
Just when the Quartet was pouring in, Zhu Zilong passed on again that all these belongings were handed over to the state, of course, hoping to keep some of them for local governance.
For a time, the seized silver and silk were continuously transported to the local and capital.
Zhu Zilong's move immediately attracted the attention of all officials and ordinary people to the idea of how to distribute this wealth.
All the officials of the household department were the first to stand up, saying that the treasury was running out of money and grain. In this eventful season, Daming needs money everywhere, so these silver taels should all be collected by the treasury.
Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, objected, saying that the border passes and the war in various places were tight, and that all efforts should be made to use it for the army.
In this regard, the ministry also has something to say. It is believed that the salaries of the officials of the ministries have been too long, and it is time to pay them in full and compensate them.
Others, such as the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments, all spoke out, hoping to get a piece of the pie. Everyone's eyes are red, and the controversy is non-stop!
The local government is also not willing to be left behind, and puts forward various expenditure requirements.
Even in the teahouses and restaurants of the people, many people are arguing about how to use this money. In order to make the Ming Dynasty rise!
In a boiling ...... Regarding Zhu Zilong's seizure, no one said anything about it.
All eyes on how to distribute the property!
Zhu Zilong's hand, the method of diverting attention, in modern times, has long been used by reporters and relevant personnel, but here. With the support of military power, he can use it in a similar way, and the effect is remarkable.
Obviously, Zhu Zilong has more hidden treasures, but people in the world believe what he says. Think the reservation won't be too much either!
Really, I threw a meat bone out, but most of the meat was eaten by myself, and the fault was transferred.
Oh, it's a lot to kill!
