On the fourth day of the fifth month, Zhu Youjian arrived 20 miles outside the city of Beijing.

Li Banghua, Gao Di and others have been waiting for a long time.

The eunuchs of the palace had already prepared dragon robes and other items, and most of them were Wang Chengen's henchmen.

Seeing the emperor arrive, the eunuchs rushed to change Zhu Youjian's clothes.

Jinyiwei also raised the emperor's guard of honor.

The four nine dragons with the crank yellow canopy are in the front, and then the twenty nine dragons with the straight handle yellow canopy, arranged continuously.

Seventy-two holding fans, sixteen peacock pheasant tails and luan phoenix, swaying with the wind.

8000 guards are scattered in all directions.

Zhu Youjian looked at the spectacular guard of honor and asked Li Banghua, "On the occasion of the national disaster, ten rooms and nine emptiness, what are you doing with this!" ”

Li Banghua was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly knelt down, "The etiquette is like this!" The saint returns to Beijing, otherwise it can't shake the Quartet. Now that the whole country is in turmoil, only such a ceremony can make the state officials believe that there is no funeral heaven in the saint, and they will return to their hearts. ”

Zhu Youjian disagreed: "When I saw the emperor's guard of honor, I returned to my heart, Li Qing thought too simply." ”

"Besides, I never thought they would return to their hearts! As soon as the thieves arrived, they surrendered immediately without waiting for resistance, and even more so they recommended themselves, lest they be abandoned by the thieves, what is the use of such state officials! Kill it! ”

Zhu Youjian's anger made the surrounding Jinyi guards and eunuchs tremble. Which of them has not served a new master in the army?

Li Banghua saw that Chongzhen was angry, so he didn't say much, but kept kowtowing and asked Chongzhen to enter the city and return to the palace.

Zhu Youjian didn't want to blame this loyal and upright minister too much.

Let the 200 guards line up around Long Yuan, and nod to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen was very excited in his heart, and said loudly: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

When Chongzhen entered the city, Gao Di reclosed the nine gates and went with the palace.

In the Jiaotai Palace, Li Banghua and Gao Yiyi Wen Yiwu stood in front of the dragon case.

"On the Holy Side, our army has annihilated countless thieves along the way, and only 3,000 thieves fled westward in embarrassment. In this battle, 6,000 horses and 12,000 armor were obtained. More than 10,000 weapons.

Intercepting 30 carts of thieves, after the inventory of Lord Li, 1,300 taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, and countless jewels such as coral pearls were obtained. "Gaudí's repetition.

"In recent years, the imperial court has been able to receive three or five million taels of tax silver every year, and now it has obtained the huge amount of silver from the thieves, which also allows the imperial court to stretch out and let the people relax."

Zhu Youjian said happily.

"Holy mercy." Gaudi compliments.

"From now on, three salaries will be exempted, and another ten years will be exempted. Rest with the people. Zhu Youjian said solemnly.

Li Banghua and Gao Di shouted Shengming.

Then, Li Banghua took out a notebook and said, "Shengshang, this is what you asked your ministers to sort out before, all the innocent people in Gyeonggi who are not officials. ”

Wang Chengen forwarded the folds to Chongzhen.

Zhu Youjian flipped it open and looked at it, and said, "It's a good job." I would like to ask you, if the thieves attacked the capital and refused to resist to the death, were all guilty! ”

Li Banghua's head was in a cold sweat, and he replied: "All are guilty!" ”

"Good! So much better! Zhu Youjian patted the dragon case, and then said: "Gao Di! ”

"The minister is here!"

"Take all the big and small officials in the city to Zhao Prison."

"All?" Gaudí thought he had misheard.

"All! From being the first assistant of the dynasty to the nine-grade sesame official, but anyone who has an official body, no one remains! ”

"Yes!" Gao Di suddenly realized, and then he knew why a few days ago, Chongzhen let him block the Nine Gates immediately after entering the city.

It turned out that I was afraid that these officials would run away.

"Holy Lord, no!" Li Banghua was shocked.

Zhu Youjian ignored it and spoke again: "Wang Chengen!" ”

"The minister is here."

"Together with Li Banghua, you will select suitable candidates from the list of recitals and temporarily arrange for them to serve in the DPRK and the Central Committee."

Wang Chengen walked out of the dragon case, stood behind Li Banghua, and knelt down together, "Obey the order." ”

The three people under the dragon case have been frightened by Zhu Youjian's violent operation, won't there be chaos in such a painful and painstaking rectification?

Zhu Youjian took out two books from his arms.

One was given to Li Banghua, and four big words were written on the cover: employee handbook.

"Li Qing, this is what I have worked hard to write over the past month, and I will copy a thousand copies as soon as possible, and ensure that every new official has one copy! In the future, they will act in accordance with this book. Zhu Youjian said solemnly.

Li Banghua took the thick manual with a puzzled face, flipped through it about once, and was suddenly shocked.

This handbook clearly states the responsibilities, working hours, working methods, evaluation standards, and performance requirements of each official.

Even if you have never been an official, as long as you follow what is written in the manual, you can do errands step by step.

What's even more terrifying is that the manual also reorganizes the responsibilities of the Six Ministries, the Imperial History, the Dali Temple, and even the Jinyi Guard.

The Ministry of Religion, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Department of Taxation, the Ministry of Punishment, the Supervision Yuan, the Military Machinery Department, and the Shangshu Office were newly established.

The responsibilities of each department were stated one by one, and it was simply a matter of detail.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Li Banghua was really shocked, and he sincerely admired Emperor Chongzhen.

"Gao Qing, this is yours."

Gao Di looked at Li Banghua's excited expression, and was guessing what the content was.

When I heard that I had it, I took it excitedly, only to see the eight big characters in the book: Agrarian Revolution Work Manual.

Gao was confused at first, what was the agrarian revolution.

Wang Chengen heard Chongzhen mention it and knew this word.

This will be looking curiously.

Zhu Youjian looked at it, smiled slightly, and said, "Chengen, you take a look at the first time with Gao, you have to participate in this matter." ”

Wang Chengen was overjoyed, and Tong Gao watched it for the first time.

This handbook clearly describes the criteria and methods for how to define, arrest, and surrender to the officials and landlords who are thieves.

In addition, officials who fled to Jiangnan without regard for the emperor's safety were also punished as surrendering.

Later, the five-step working methods of confiscation of the land of the criminal officials, the allocation of farmland, the mobilization of the masses, the review and summary, and the mobilization of production were clearly listed.

Each step has a specific process, standards, timelines, and assessment criteria.

Even, the standard of 5 mu per person, the proportion of paddy fields and dry land, the words used to mobilize the masses, and the methods of propaganda are all listed one by one.

Gao Di fought all over the country, came into contact with a large number of displaced and hungry people, and knew the importance of land to the people.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen is carrying out this policy, why not accept the hearts of the people in the world, why worry about the immortality of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Gao Di bowed down and bowed.

"There's one more thing to arrange for you. Cheng'en, you rebuild the East Factory and picket the corruption of hundreds of officials! Gaodi, you reorganize the Jinyi Guard, inquire into the affairs of the world, and report to me from time to time. Zhu Youjian said.

"Holy! Cannot! Li Banghua drank.

"Shut up! Do you want to talk about eunuchs? You don't see the supervision of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, how corrupt are the Ming officials! Just rely on the wind and news of the Yushitai, useful? Zhu Youjian scolded.

Li Banghua thought of the tens of millions of silver that Li Zicheng squeezed out, and remembered that the Ming Dynasty almost destroyed the country because he had no military salary, sighed, called the emperor Shengming, and stopped talking.

"All right, I'm tired, you go." Zhu Youjian said lightly.

Wang Chengen sent someone to serve Chongzhen to rest, and he gathered a group of godsons and gave orders in high spirits.

Gao Di walked out of the palace, and his excitement was irrepressible.

Now that he is an earl, he has a heavy army, and he has become a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he can face the saint at any time.

Glory to the ancestors! Glory to the ancestors!

Thinking of his glorious and great task, Gaudi quickly rallied his men. More than 2,000 officials of the Beijing division were listed in the register, and they were immediately arrested.

Guan Ningbing, who had been poor for half his life, suddenly sharpened his knife.

The newly arrested strong men are basically the low-level family members of ordinary people and officials, and when they heard that the emperor was going to detain these powerful officials, their eyes lit green.

There is no need to cheer Gao Di at all, the newly formed 40,000 Yulin Left Guard, with the general flag as the unit, slaughtered to the private residence of the Jingshi Mansion.

For a time, the officials' families cried and shouted, and the people at the bottom applauded.

Gao Di instantly became a terrifying figure in Beijing, with a posture of one person and ten thousand people.

Early the next morning, the emperor's list was posted on the city gates everywhere, sprinkled with hundreds of words, and the central meaning was one:

The emperor's grace is vast, and from now on, the whole country will suspend the levy of liao salary, pay salary, and practice salary, and exempt the land tax for ten years.

The news spread, and the Jingshi was boiling.
