Chapter 490: Chongzhen is abdicating?
Stabbed Lou Zi.
This time, Zhu Youzhen stabbed a big basket! It's hard to settle if you want to.
After all, the product of Jindan has caused nearly 100,000 people in the Ming Dynasty to die directly and die directly.
And most of the people who died were rich people, people with status, not ordinary low-level people, it is impossible to rely on the power of the government to forcibly suppress these things, this is impossible to do, because nearly 100,000 people died!
Regret.
Then there is regret, the intestines are going to be repentant, and every day is tormented in endless remorse.
One is that you shouldn't want to make money, you should engage in the Jindan project, that's right, at the beginning, Jindan brought a lot of income, which can be called a daily gold, which makes people float, and even thinks that according to this money-making speed, it is not a problem to make a net profit of two or three billion silver dollars a year, so Zhu Youzhen ordered a crazy expansion of production, invested a lot of money, and then saw that the price of Jindan continued to rise, and also joined the team of hoarding, and no matter how much Jindan you want to hoard, it is just a matter of thought, It's just from the left hand to the right hand.
Hundreds of millions.
As a result, the number of gold pills hoarded by the royal family was as high as hundreds of millions, worth tens of millions of silver dollars, and most of the profits were invested in this action.
Unexpectedly, after the side effects of Jindan were exposed, after an uproar, the price immediately began to plummet, and on the basis of halving, or even lower, it still couldn't be sold.
It was equivalent to tens of millions of silver dollars, all of which were smashed in his own hands, and he didn't make a penny.
Now nearly 100,000 people have died under the side effects of Jindan, the death of these people, the royal family is to make compensation, no matter what the standard of compensation is, a human life, according to the status of the noble, compensation from as little as hundreds of silver dollars, to as much as hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, anyway, you always have to lose money, otherwise you will lose the hearts of the people in the world, he, the emperor, will definitely do it, and the country passed down from the ancestors will also be lost and replaced by others.
Secondly, the powerful effect of Jin Dan, in fact, is not only millions of Daming consumer users, they think it is very good, and they will take it every day, that is, Zhu Youzhen himself, he was tempted by a few beauties, and he was a little powerless, but he still couldn't help but take out two Jin Dan and swallow it directly.
That is, Zhu Youzhen himself is also a consumer of Jindan, and for at least three months, he also takes it every day, or two at a time, and he has regained the feeling that as a man, he is so powerful that he can do anything.
Then on his own back, small patches of black spots also appeared, which had not yet developed in the direction of corpse spots, but it was also a very dangerous trend.
After seeing the tragic situation of those corpse spot authors, Zhu Youzhen was also startled and quickly stopped taking it, but the dependence has been formed, it is very difficult to quit, and the process is very painful, even he, the emperor, can't stand it, after all, he is a mortal fetus in the flesh, not a god descending to earth, so he still needs half a pill to one gold pill every day to barely suppress the side effects.
Then he eats all kinds of supplements, wanting to curb the damage caused by Jin Dan to his body, what ginseng, deer antler, sea cucumber and the like, desperately tonic, make up for the nosebleeds, but the effect is still not very obvious, or only the moment he swallows Jin Dan, he has a feeling of being vigorous and alive.
Finished.
Zhu Youzhen felt that he was about to finish.
Because the miracle medical experts in Xujiazhuang have long come to the conclusion that as long as Jindan's erysipelas accumulates, it will be three years or one year, and it will definitely be a dog.
Even if he is desperately supplementing nutrition now, he wants to use the body's resistance to fight the accumulation of erysipelas, and even takes more than a dozen raw eggs every day, only hoping to use egg whites to absorb harmful heavy metals, so as to delay the outbreak of erysipelas and prevent corpse spots from appearing.
In other words, does this kind of *** work?
I don't know.
Zhu Youzhen didn't know, but the desire to survive made him only a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he didn't do something in general, even if it was just psychological, he had to struggle desperately.
In the end, that's how the follow-up is handled
problems.
Just ordered to kill more than 300 alchemists, in this way, put all the blame on these people, saying that they were deceived by these demons, this is obviously useless, and the persuasiveness is insufficient, after all, it is now Chongzhen twenty-five years, he has been the emperor for so long, and his age is more than forty, his mind has long matured, and he is very mediocre and easily deceived, which is not convincing at all, and no one will listen to such a plan.
As for compensating for the losses of the victims of Jindan, it is probably necessary to take out more than one billion silver dollars to solve this problem, but after some extravagance and waste, now in the hands of the royal family, there is no money, only tens of millions of silver dollars left, the previous rich accumulation, almost squandered, and now it is such a big basket of pain, it is impossible to take out so much money in a short time, if you find a way to borrow money, Tianxia Tong Bank is not willing to borrow, after all, this number is too big, and the royal family's ability to repay is very limited.
It can only be paid back little by little.
From the annual financial income of the Ming Dynasty, take out one or two million silver dollars, it will take about thirty or fifty years to compensate for everyone's losses, if you save some more, twenty years to pay off, maybe there is no problem, the big deal is to discuss with those victims, sign a "installment compensation agreement", and strive to use installment payment and other methods, little by little slowly repay.
But who wants to wait that long?
Twenty years later, maybe Zhu Youzhen is gone, and it is possible for his son to not admit it, or even to be gone.
Of course!
Zhu Youzhen also formulated a plan for 20 years of tax exemption, all the families of the victims of the Jindan taking incident, as long as they get the victim certificate issued by the imperial court, and rely on this certificate in the future, he can do business without paying taxes, farming without paying taxes, poll taxes, and forced labor, which are all not used, which is equivalent to completely tax-free for 20 years, hoping that in exchange for the victimized people will no longer be entangled, the effect is also very good, although it will lead to the annual income of the imperial court, which may be reduced by one or two million silver dollars, but as long as the people are satisfied, as long as this trouble is solved, Zhu Youzhen would rather not collect taxes for 20 years, which is much better than the royal family going bankrupt directly and being drowned by countless spits.
Apologize + kill the backsuckers + invite people to buy hearts + tax-free benefits
After the above series of measures are taken.
Zhu Youzhen temporarily pacified the consumers who were eager to blow up the palace.
But.
To this extent, it is still not enough.
Because what he did this time really made countless people in the Ming Dynasty feel cold, and the civil and military officials and scholars of the Ming Dynasty were also very disappointed in him, feeling that he was not a Ming Jun, let alone a faint monarch, but a Ming Jun who could obviously become a Ming Jun, and as a result, many things he did were even more faint than the Duan Jun.
If it's just pure mediocrity, the ministers will guide and correct it well, so that it won't be hugely destructive, at least at least, you can be a very good ruler of success, and you can still get a very good evaluation.
But Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to be the king of Shoucheng, he still wants to make some big careers when his abilities and means are very limited, and he also wants to be a promising king, even a saintly king like Li Shimin, to leave a strong mark in history, to be praised by the world, to make very great achievements, and he has never been willing to lie down.
The result?
Zhu Youzhen, who is obviously very smart, has good ability and skills, and can definitely do a good job as a gentleman of success, messed things up one by one.
Again and again, the people of the Ming Dynasty were disappointed, the civil and military officials were disappointed, and the whole world was disappointed.
[In view of the general environment,
If Zhu Youzhen is allowed to continue to do this, with his ability to do things, it is estimated that it will not stop for long, at most two to three years, and some new moths will be created, and he will show off his own cleverness, treat others as fools, and in the end he will not be able to achieve his own goal, but will lose more things at hand.
This is the characteristic of Zhu Youzhen.
So countless times
After the disappointment.
The civil and military officials of the imperial court.
Cabinet of Ministers and Elders.
The entire Ming public opinion voice.
and most of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
I hope that Zhu Youzhen can stop, stop tossing and making trouble, or live a happy life with peace of mind, the position of the emperor, don't do it again, let His Royal Highness the Prince, who has long been very virtuous, take the throne, and it will be a good thing to be a chic and happy emperor in the future.
So at a court meeting.
"Your Majesty, this poison pill incident, the Ming people who have suffered countless victims, to exempt many people from taxes for twenty years, resulting in a sharp decrease in the income of the imperial court, and the ability to control the local area, will also be significantly weakened and reduced, in the long run, the harm can be described as great, the prestige of the imperial court will also be greatly reduced, the losses in all aspects, it is unimaginable, Your Majesty, you have been in power for more than 20 years, yes, the Ming Dynasty has been greatly developed, but most of these are the changes brought about by Xujiazhuang, and the imperial court does not have much credit, At most, it is just a matter of taking advantage of the trend, but over the years, Your Majesty, you have raised taxes many times before, and you can't eliminate the rogues, and then you set up a royal farm, but you have sold all the millions of young men and women, and rectified the rule of officials, but you always solve the problem with killing, and the heads of the people you kill are rolling, and in order to make money over the years, you have exhausted all kinds of tricks, and there are a lot of fake and shoddy products, and that's it, as a result, even such a harmful thing as the poison pill dares to produce in large quantities, and you don't even do pharmacological tests for more than half a year."
"Disappointed, Your Majesty, you have disappointed us too much, Your Majesty, the changes and reforms you have made over the years, the price that the imperial court has paid is not a lot, but the benefits are not much, the purpose is to increase income and promote the development of the Ming Dynasty, but it always backfires, and it is cold, and there are countless civil and military generals loyal to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty can't do it without suspicion, but you are repeatedly suspicious, make restrictive moves, and have a little power, and you are suppressed by the imperial power, it is a genius like Lu Xiangsheng, and in the end you can only go to Nanyang to develop, Becoming a rich man shows that Your Majesty will not use people, but just wants to be obedient minions, but even if they are minions who carry out the emperor's orders, once there are problems and mistakes, they will not hesitate, and they will be pushed out and beheaded by Your Majesty, and let them bear the responsibility."
"Over time, everyone's hearts have long been cold, now this court, has been lifeless, no vitality, only a few echo worms to make a concursion, the real talents, the most capable people, are going to Xujiazhuang, looking for opportunities for development, to realize their own value, every year will lose a large number of talents, but His Majesty does not pay much attention, sometimes will send some talents, take the initiative to send to Xujiazhuang, I have never been willing to spend a lot of money and sincerity, to express the importance of talents, so on, How could those amazing talents serve the royal family, even if they are loyal to the royal family, they slowly become disheartened, gradually despair, and finally make the decision to leave."
"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this, the civil and military ministers in the court, in fact, have long been dissatisfied in their hearts, they just didn't break out before, but this time, we have to speak, Your Majesty, you are indeed not the material to be the emperor, for more than 20 years, you have basically not done a few good things, we think that the best period is often when Your Majesty is willing to degenerate and lock yourself in the villa every day to have fun, when Your Majesty does not care about things at all, and everything makes us ourselves, but it is the easiest and most efficient, The most non-negligent phenomenon, the economic situation of Daming in those years was very good, but it grew explosively, which shows that as long as Your Majesty does not interfere, our ability to get things done will become stronger and stronger."
"Your Majesty, you seem to have eaten the golden pill too, erysipelas have entered the body, and the body has been damaged a lot, right? For the sake of Your Majesty's body, or put down all the burden on your shoulders, let His Royal Highness the Prince, go and deal with more affairs, and then Your Majesty must find a way to regulate his body, and find a way to quit Jindan and avoid the harm of erysipelas, only in this way can we see the Ming Empire, under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Prince, thriving, developing better and better, creating greater brilliance, I believe Your Majesty, you will also feel very gratified, and then more assured, put the throne in the hands of the prince, so that the prince dares to do daring, Even if the crown prince's intelligence is only half of Your Majesty's, the old minister believes that Da Ming will definitely develop well, and he will definitely not let Your Majesty down."
"So Your Majesty, it's better to retreat
Hugh, the prince is 24 years old this year, young and promising, has a good relationship with Xujiazhuang, and receives a new-style education, as long as the prince is allowed to do more things, more Xujiazhuang, and obtain some benefits, Your Majesty, getting out of the predicament is just around the corner, and the angry and dissatisfied people before will also re-establish their confidence in the court."
The pavilion elder tried his best to persuade him.
"Abdicate to make way for Xian? I happen to have this meaning, I'm tired, I don't want to toss, just let the prince do it, the prince is far better than me, and he will definitely bring a lot of good changes."
Zhu Youzhen said very happily, and actually agreed to be the emperor and hand over the throne to the crown prince Zhu Cihong.
It's just that Zhu Youzhen is serious? Is he really willing to hand over that desirable and obsessive right?
