Chapter 90: The Sacking of a Hundred Officials
"What kind of monster is this" When the votl spaceship landed in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen, who was originally reviewing the folds in the Qianqing Palace, also heard the movement and walked out of the palace with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
But he is also the one who is the emperor, although he is very nervous and afraid, but he still pretends to be calm.
At this moment, the stomach of the monster in his eyes suddenly opened, and a group of people came down from above.
"Yo, how about so many people welcoming us?" Chen Feng, who took the lead in getting down from the spaceship, smiled and said as he looked at the group of people who were standing in the distance and didn't dare to rely on the spaceship, and behind him, Sonny and Serena also walked down with a team of snake demon soldiers.
On the side of the palace, the brocade guards who rushed to hear the news also surrounded the spaceship.
"Who are you, dare to trespass on the Forbidden Palace" Seeing the Jinyi guard coming, Chongzhen mustered up his courage, got closer, and asked Chen Feng who came down from the spaceship.
"Zhu Youzhen, right?" Chen Feng asked with a smile on his face.
"Bold, you dare to call your majesty by your name, and you don't take it down quickly" Before Chongzhen could speak, an old eunuch beside him became angry, and immediately commanded the Jinyi guard to step forward to arrest Chen Feng.
"Tsk, I really can't figure out the situation" Seeing the Jinyi Guard who was hesitating but constantly approaching, Chen Feng pouted and said, "I'm sent by God to replace you as emperor, let's honestly give up my position."
Then Chen Feng ignored Chongzhen and the others, who were already stunned, and turned to the snake demon soldiers behind him and gave an order, "Arrest them all, and kill those who resist."
The next moment, with the burst of gunfire coming from the palace, it was clear that the world was about to change.
A few minutes later, on the square outside the Qianqing Palace, a huge blue portal with a width of more than 30 meters and a height appeared, and a large number of vehicles of various colors flew out of the portal, and flew to various predetermined locations inside and outside the capital, and released the soldiers to control the various traffic arteries and strategic points.
And at this moment, the palace has also been taken over by the army of the people, as for the original forbidden army and brocade guards, after seeing these powerful firepower and invulnerable "heavenly soldiers and generals", they either scattered and fled, or laid down their weapons and surrendered.
This was an unprecedented large-scale relocation operation, and the sky over the entire capital was full of various flying vehicles whistling by, which frightened the residents of this ancient city and frightened them.
As the new owner of the palace, Chen Feng is now sitting in the Qianqing Palace, which originally belonged to the emperor, and controls all the troops under him through the guò holographic map.
And the original owner of the palace, Emperor Chongzhen, was sitting in the corner with his wife and children at this moment, waiting for Chen Feng's fate.
At this moment, Chongzhen had completely believed it, what Chen Feng said was sent by God to replace him, in fact, after seeing the machine soldiers who kept coming out of the portal outside, and the "fairy palace" that kept flying out, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it.
However, at this moment, Chen Feng did not have time to pay attention to this family for the time being, but was thinking about the transformation of the city on the holographic map.
Judging from the map scanned by satellites, the capital of this era is very different from the capital of the real world, and it can even be said that it is completely different, even the Forbidden City, which is the most well-preserved in later generations, is very different.
But this is also a very normal thing, after all, the capital of later generations, it is a city that has been digitally repaired after several wars, and now it is an antique and very intact capital of the Ming Dynasty.
And Chen Feng didn't want to destroy this beautiful city too much, so how to rebuild it is a big project, but fortunately, this kind of thing at the bottom can be left to his people to do, he just needs to put forward general ideas and ideas.
In contrast, the occupation of this world is much simpler.
Although in the Resident Evil world, Chen Feng gave Jill hundreds of thousands of machine soldiers, but Chen Feng still hoarded more than three million machine soldiers, and more than two million civilian machine soldiers.
If it is a world with advanced technology, it is impossible for this amount of force to control a planet, but it is completely sufficient to control a world where gunpowder weapons are still in their infancy.
Moreover, the mineral distribution of this planet is exactly the same as that of the real world, so there is no need to explore it at all, just mine it directly according to the resource distribution map of the real world, which is very convenient, and there is no need for Chen Feng to worry about it at all.
However, now it is very simple for Chen Feng to transform a city, how to transform, you can directly see the renderings on the holographic map, just like playing a real-time strategy game on the computer, so it only took about an hour for Chen Feng to complete the re-planning of the capital.
"There's really a thrill of playing games," Chen Feng sighed as he looked at the locations on the holographic map that were planned as base factory areas, and the modular buildings rose from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Feng, who had completed the planning of the city, stood up at this time and paid attention to Zhu Youzhen, who was guarded by the snake demon soldiers in the corner.
"Look at this" Chen Feng walked to Zhu Youzhen's side under the frightened gaze of the family, and handed a few pieces of paper to the tragic emperor in history.
Zhu Youzhen took the pieces of paper with some hesitation, but it was okay not to look at it, but at first glance, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
On these papers, it is not something else, but a list of property, what property? Of course, it is the property of those officials in the capital.
After taking control of the capital, Chen Feng asked Serena and Sonny to lead the team respectively, and began to carry out a vigorous raid on the royal relatives and high-ranking officials in the capital.
If it were replaced by any new ruler in this world, they would definitely not dare to do this, because they want to maintain their rule, and they still need the help of these people, after all, in this era, the official gentry class is the real ruler, and the emperor is only the nominal ruler.
But Chen Feng is different, his rule is not based on the moths of these societies, but on the earth in Elysium. Fully mechanized and intelligent way of governance.
Although this mode of governance seems very unkind, but for the people at the bottom who are digging in the fields in this era, this way of ruling is a good thing, at least the people will not be corrupt and bribe-taking, will not oppress the people, and do not even need to collect taxes...... With Chen Feng's current industrial capacity, what is the difference between collecting taxes from a group of peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and a rich man going to a beggar's bowl to grab food? Although Chen Feng is lawless, he really can't do this kind of thing, so he doesn't plan to collect taxes at all.
Therefore, the official and gentry class of this world, for Chen Feng, is useless except for affecting his rule, so it is a storage that must be eradicated.
However, after seeing the results from Serena, Chen Feng understood why so many traversers, after taking power, liked to do the work of raiding the family...... Compared with robbing a bank or something, it's just weak.
Chen Feng didn't look at anything else, but just looked at the final summary figures, more than 10,000 tons of silver and more than 200 tons of gold. In the calculation method of this era, one catty is about 590 grams, one catty is sixteen taels, and one tael is about thirty-seven grams, which is more than 200 million taels of silver and more than 4 million taels of gold.
And during this period, the purchasing power of silver, one tael of silver, is almost a thousand yuan, and one tael of gold is almost 8 taels of silver. In other words, Chen Feng copied a house, and copied nearly 300 billion yuan, although these silvers do not mean much to Chen Feng, but just thinking about it, that kind of satisfaction is also quite good.
This figure can be recorded in the history books that Li Zicheng got more than 70 million taels when he entered Beijing, but it is very inconsistent. It's three or four times over. How can it be so much worse?? You must know that at least 20 million of Li Zicheng's more than 70 million miles come from ordinary people's homes.
The reason is very simple, Chen Feng's house is much more thorough than Li Zicheng's, and many of the riches in the homes of those high-ranking officials and huge riches are hidden in very secret silver cellars, and they can't be found at all unless they really dig three feet into the ground.
But for Chen Feng, these deeply buried wealth can't be hidden at all, a small metal detector can find out all these wealth, these large and small officials' homes of hidden silver, as little as tens of thousands, more than tens of millions, really clean, can be counted on one hand.
With such a large amount of wealth, it is no wonder that Chongzhen's face is not dark, you must know that the current treasury and his inner treasury are only more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver, and then look at the list, because I am afraid that Chongzhen will not understand, the unit of measurement on the list has been replaced by Chen Feng to two. Except for a few Qing officials, almost all the officials above the fifth rank were richer than him, the emperor.
The annual tax of the Ming Dynasty was only a few million taels of silver, that is to say, these officials and gentry had unknowingly swallowed the taxes of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years.
Chongzhen knew that these officials were greedy, and in order to maintain his rule, he also turned a blind eye, but he didn't expect that these guys were already greedy for this kind of Cheng Dù, and at this moment, Chongzhen's heart was very much impulsive to unload all of them.
"Now you know why this country is like this, right? I will turn around and hand over a few of the most greedy guys, as well as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Huang Taiji to you to deal with, in the future, you will take your wife and children and become a rich man" Chen Feng still has a good impression of this tragic emperor, and he doesn't mind giving this one a chance to take revenge.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, and he just arched his hand to Chen Feng and said "thank you"!
