Don't get used to it!

Yan Chenhao clearly realized that if he couldn't use the thunder strategy to calm down this matter this time, then, after that, he was afraid that many things would be difficult to implement, and the imperial court would lose its majesty!

Even if the Ming Dynasty shares the world with scholars, there should be a distinction between priority and subordination, and now what they are doing has already affected the foundation of the imperial court!

"Your Majesty, send the Beijing army out." Yan Chenhao said coldly.

He is not opposed to the use of force, but believes that it should be used at the right time, and now, at the right time.

Zhu Changxun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then an excited look appeared on his face, and he nodded suddenly.

The next day, the second batch of Qingzhang Tianmu's team set out from the Beijing Division, this time accompanied by a Beijing army of 2,000 people, as well as officials responsible for investigating the interception and killing case some time ago.

After this unit arrived in Nanzhili, it quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.

Four days later, some people reported that several nearby landlords and gentry had colluded with those bandits, and the investigators investigated and found it to be true, and immediately arrested several people with lightning speed and sent them to Beijing.

Subsequently, under the escort of the Beijing army, the officials began to measure the land in Nanzhi again and check the hidden households in the landlords' homes.

This time, no one dared to do anything to them again.

Just kidding, 2,000 Beijing troops!

Seeing this formation, the nobles who were standing on the platform behind also knew the emperor's tough attitude, which was serious.

Admitting that there are so-called "bandits" does not tear the last layer of face, but the execution of the landlords and gentry who colluded with them conveys the emperor's inner thoughts.

This is the last warning to them, Zhu Changxun is already angry, and even intends to use force to solve the problem.

This is the first time they have seen the emperor's iron hand.

The nobles were immediately frightened, and then they resolutely confessed and chose to return the wealth of the tax to the imperial court.

And this is also seen by all the gentry in the world.

When the emperor hardens, unless it is the kind of thing that involves great interests and his life, he can only be obedient.

Obviously, such things as paying more taxes and clearing hidden households have damaged their interests to a certain extent, but they are far from being unbearable.

Since the cost of resistance is so high, it can only be obedient.

The officials who checked were instructed that for those gentry who had misdeeds, when measuring the acres of land, they deliberately measured a few more zhang per acre of field, and as a result, the ten acres of land were measured to 112 acres.

Now, after a trip, those big landlords actually carried hundreds or even thousands of acres of land in taxes.

However, with the shock of what happened before, they didn't dare to say anything.

I can't tell if I have any suffering!

And those who followed the Yan family, although they were reluctant but still obediently cooperated with the court, saw this scene, they almost laughed out loud, and they were a little more happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, it was not the same as these guys at the time, otherwise the loss would have been too big I don't know how much.

So, this policy unimpeded, measuring acres began to be carried out nationwide, although this is a very long, it takes several years of engineering, but the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue, has begun to grow steadily.

It just so happened that the turmoil in the land of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago also caused many landlords and gentry to die, and their land was naturally vacant, so these acres of land were also distributed to the people who had almost no land, which also played a certain role in alleviating the land annexation.

Of course, if these strategies want to completely solve the land problem, it is impossible, in fact, Yan Chenhao has no such plans.

But at least in this way, the landlords and gentry had to pay taxes even if they occupied the land, firstly, there would be no more enthusiasm for annexation, giving the people a space to breathe, and secondly, it would also allow the state to earn more.

Zhang Juzheng actually took measures to encroach on the acres of land back then, but it didn't take long for the gentry to relapse as the limelight passed, so that in the decades of Wanli's rule, the grassroots were corrupted at a jaw-dropping speed.

After all, policies also need to be accomplished.

In that era when collusion between low-level officials and landlords and gentry became the norm, it was impossible to completely eradicate this problem.

The hidden household is the same concept, as long as there are still people forced to leave their homes, it will not be cut off at all, and at this time, it is only a group of people who will return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty and ease it up.

Yan Chenhao can only use this way to transfuse blood for Daming.

With that done, he turned his gaze back to the ranks of officials.

"Your Majesty, the officials of the Beijing division accepted bribes and embezzled the imperial court's silver, etc., a large number, which not only hindered the atmosphere of the court, but also was not conducive to the operation of the imperial court."

"The minister once heard that the disaster relief silver of 200,000 has been half wiped out before leaving the Beijing Division, how rampant this is!"

"The minister requested that the officials of the capital and various localities be inspected, rectified, and severely punished for violators."

Zhu Changxun naturally would not refuse, and he was also full of unhappiness and anger after listening to Yan Chenhao's words:

"Accurate!"

Jingcha, the Ministry of Shangshu cooperated with Jinyiwei to investigate the officials in Beijing.

Local, the thirteen provinces of supervision and imperial history are also cooperating with the local Jinyi guards to carry out searches for local officials.

As soon as the operation was carried out, many officials who were more seriously corrupt were raided and imprisoned.

Those who were less corrupt were let go, but they were also admonished and became "guilty bodies".

In this case, everyone is in danger and no longer dares to reach out to the treasury, whether it is the income of the imperial court or the life of the people, it is much better.

In addition to these two items, Yan Chenhao, as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, also adopted a number of policies to govern the country.

The world of the Ming Dynasty has improved visibly with the naked eye.

After all, the rule of all dynasties is actually nothing more than that.

Lightly punish the meager endowment, clear the acres of land, encourage farming, rectify officials, and so on.

Unless it is an innovator like Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng, there will be all kinds of drastic reforms.

But now the Ming Dynasty is already in decline, and this huge empire really can't withstand another reform like Zhang Juzheng's.

What is needed now is Yan Chenhao's rule of the world, such a gentle medicine.

Moreover, the above things seem simple, but in fact, once they are put into operation, the rulers will face vested interests in the whole world, which is a very terrifying resistance.

It is already extremely difficult to do this.
