Before copying these Nanzhihao who had instigated the people's rebellion behind the scenes, Lu Yi, Shu Dayun, Huo Weida and other rebels had already been escorted to the execution ground of the Xishi Pai Lou to be beheaded. Diaphragm

And on the day of the execution, the people in the prison of the Criminal Department let Lu Yi, Shu Dayun, Huo Weida and other rebels tie wooden plaques on their backs early, and brushed the hair of these rebels with glue, curled goose pear horns, and let them put a red silk paper flower on their heads, and they were dressed up, and after they ate the eternal life meal and farewell wine, they handed them over to the sergeant who escorted them.

The sergeant drove the rebels to the prisoner van.

Lu Yi was expressionless, and couldn't help but look around after entering the prisoner car.

And Shu Dayun couldn't help but sigh, with a look of regret.

Because of advocating the style of the green forest, Huo Weida, who took the lead in pretending to be a pro-military guard and gang-raped the girl Ge Erya, was pouted and wanted to cry at this time, and said in his mouth: "I don't want to die!" I really don't want to die, please give me another chance, I must be my student and study hard. ”

Wang Su, the right attendant of the prison and beheading department, also sat down behind the prison beheading platform on the execution ground with a calm face when these people were escorted.

At that time, it happened to be the time when the golden crow was hanging. Diaphragm

The sun shone brightly on the sundial, so that the shadow of the needle was clearly visible at the position of three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Yi and the others also became more and more panicked.

And when the crunching prison wheels rolled in, the people gathered around the Xishi archway also saw the information on these rebel cards, and many people also learned what heinous crimes these rebels had committed.

"The former Nanjing Zuo Du Yushi, Caojiang Admiral Lu Yi colluded with the thieves, murdered the Qincha, sold the official beard, and even deliberately beat the pro-army guards, which can be described as bullying the king, heinous, and even instigated the inferior gentry and bullies to rebel, rob and kill businessmen, plunder the people's wealth, and distribute more than 367,000 taels of stolen money, and beheaded!"

"Shu Dayun, the former governor of Nanjing's Houjun Governor's Mansion and the deputy chief soldier of Zhenjiang, teamed up with Lu Yi and Huo Weida, a rebel, to murder Qincha, and ate empty salaries of 1,600 people, withheld a total of 8,972 taels of military salaries, and sold three new cannons made by the Ministry of Industry to the rebels, and beheaded them!"

……

"Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhang Mengli, the secretary of Dali Temple, and the left deputy capital Yushi Wang Ji will be tried and sentenced." Diaphragm

Some of the people couldn't help but read the contents of the card, and many of them were shocked by it, but then they all seemed to be quite happy.

Because although the people were appalled by the crimes of these bureaucrats and gentry for a while, after thinking of the ugly deeds of these bureaucrats and gentry in the past, they felt that they were not surprised, and they were even only surprised that the court would no longer shield them and punish them in a correct manner.

When Lu Yi heard that some people were reciting his crimes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, I'm just to resist the harsh government, what's wrong?!" ”

Although Lu Yi said this, after seeing Wang Su, he couldn't help but shout: "Young Sikou, can you tell Yu Yuanfu to know, I was wrong!" I shouldn't have done such a thing behind his back, I will change it, I will change it in the future, never again! ”

"Let him give me another chance, I'm also a Jinshi, and I'm a dignified imperial history, but now I want my head to be in a different place, I really can't accept it." Whining! ”

Lu Yi cried after shouting.

Seeing this, Wang Su only said in a deep voice: "I knew why bother today, the biggest shortcoming of a smart person like you is that you feel that you are too smart, and you have forgotten the word 'awe'. "Ahh

Lu Yi bit her cheeks tightly after hearing this, but she didn't say anything more.

When the time came, Wang Su dropped the token: "Chop!" ”

Suddenly, the shadow of the sword slashed across the sky and fell towards the sky.

With just one knife, Lu Yi's head was cut off and his body left, and blood burst out.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare to pretend to be a pro-military guard to rape and kill people's girls, I don't dare, I really don't dare!"

Hovida was like crazy here, and he kept thinking about it, and he was also stabbed in the neck.

And Shu Dayun didn't say a word, only sighed again, and then turned his head in a different place. Diaphragm

Other rebels were also beheaded.

The people saw a human head roll out of the lake of blood, followed by another, and then a third, and then a fourth, and a fifth......

There was a steady stream of heads, rolling into the bloody porridge, and rolling down in a cheer.

"Slash!"

After Gu Bingren, Ma Weiming and other Haoyou, who were doing things behind the scenes, were escorted to Beijing, they were also beheaded one after another.

The Prisoner's token was lost again and again.

In the winter of the ninth year of Wanli and the early spring of the tenth year of Wanli. Diaphragm

The business of the archway in Jingshi West City has become surprisingly good, and there are signs of surpassing Qipan Street.

Because the scenes of execution appeared again and again, there were not thousands of rebels who were executed, but hundreds, and all of them were killed by people who were full of fat brains and intestines, and the criminals who committed the most heinous crimes, so that there was an endless stream of civilians who were willing to come to watch the execution, such as watching big dramas, and even many people who came to Beijing from other places regarded it as a grand event, which was called a grand event of beheading.

For ordinary people, this kind of scene of beheading evil officials and bad gentry is as enjoyable as watching a market like Bao Gongeu, or even more enjoyable, after all, the West Market Archway presents a video impact, which brings pleasure to the people, which is not comparable to the auditory pleasure and text pleasure driven by the storyteller.

And it is precisely because of this pleasure that the people are willing to make a big splash about it, or buy a large number of firecrackers as if they were throwing money to help the fun, and consumption has unconsciously pulled some more.

"This confiscation has been handed over to the inner treasury for a total of more than 6.19 million taels of silver, more than 148,000 taels of gold, 1.03 million taels of copper coins, more than 2.41 million taels of silver for all kinds of antiques and jade, calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, more than 1.67 million taels of silver sold by the population of other families, and more than 25,700 hectares of good land from the right of the wealthy people."

If it is said that the common people only get a sense of spiritual pleasure by digging out these behind-the-scenes Haoyou, then for Zhu Yijun and the Ming court, they will benefit a lot materially.

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the household department, reported to Zhu Yijun on the latest situation of the house raid in the political hall on this day. Diaphragm

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded: "Let's talk about it, how to distribute the confiscated income?" ”

At this time, Wang Guoguang, the bachelor in charge of the degree branch, got up and said: "The cabinet has drawn up a question book, and intends to keep the silver and gold in Taicang, and the copper coin development department for the use of river workers, etc., but leave 1.5 million taels of silver to be used in the inner treasury as a reward for the implementation of the new policy meritorious civil and military officers and soldiers. ”

"The gold is not left in Taicang, and a vault is added behind the Wenhua Hall in the palace, which is directly managed by the cabinet branch secretary and the celebrant supervisor, and the gold stored in the other treasury is concentrated as a reserve for the stacking of paper money in the future."

"The next conquest is imminent, and after the conquest, it is necessary to further revitalize trade, so as to facilitate the previous policy of opening up the sea; In ocean trade, it is more necessary to carry lightweight; What's more, the construction of troops abroad, the distribution of military salaries and so on mainly paper money, can also greatly save the cost of transportation. ”

"Therefore, we need to be prepared, not only to be prepared, but also to strictly control the outflow of gold, regular audits, if the gold reserves do not increase but decrease, we need to ask the ministers and eunuchs who are directly responsible for this treasury!"

Zhu Yijun did not directly agree to the cabinet's request, but put forward his new intentions.

Stacking capital is the meaning of reserves. Diaphragm

Since the emergence of paper money in the Northern Song Dynasty, the issuance of paper money in China is not a new thing, and even, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the earliest theory of paper money issuance in the history of the world appeared, and it was used as the basis for the state's financial control measures.

Even the emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty also mastered some theories of paper money issuance, and when he mentioned the meeting to the prime minister Zhao Xiong, he specifically said, "If I don't hesitate to meet the son and scatter too much, how can I be as important as today?" "And in the five years of the main road, the edict was set at one boundary every three years, requiring each realm to replace the old guild with 10 million yuan of new guilds, which is equivalent to printing new banknotes regularly and standardly, and recycling old banknotes.

And Wang Guoguang is a person who is proficient in money law, a famous financial scientist in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and has read a lot of books, so he naturally understands what it means to pile up money, and knows why the emperor attaches importance to gold reserves, so he will give it up.
