For a whole day, Zhu Youzhen did not take half a step out of the Wenhua Palace, and the internal officials and eunuchs who came to ask for guilt made him busy for a day.

By the evening, after counting, he had already received eight million taels of silver and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

"Emperor, why are you so troublesome, if you simply raid the house, it will definitely be more than this!" Da Jue Xu Yingyuan asked puzzled.

Zhu Youzhen stretched his waist, and then said with a smile: "Xu Ban, you don't understand, I don't want these eunuchs' silver, but also want them to continue to work for me. ”

"Emperor, there are many children and grandchildren waiting in the palace, and they are not bad." Xu Yingyuan hurriedly said.

"I know that you have also accepted a lot of godsons and grandsons, and want to arrange positions for them, but I am a person who will do practical things in the future, and your children and grandchildren are too young, and it is not the right time." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

Xu Yingyuan's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"The emperor spares his life, and the slave and maid are also obsessed, and they are dizzy by those little touts, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore."

Xu Yingyuan thought that Zhu Youzhen hated him for accepting his children and grandchildren, and wanted to emulate Wei Zhongxian.

"Get up, I know the practice of internal officials, it's nothing for you to take in your children and grandchildren, as long as you are obedient." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said.

"Slave, thank you, Emperor!" Xu Yingyuan wiped his sweat and got up cautiously.

"Liu Chao and Wang Tiqian, who have been fighting with civil officials for so many years, are full of experience, and they also understand actual government affairs, if they are killed and robbed, your children and grandchildren are not opponents of civil officials in foreign dynasties at all." Zhu Youzhen said disdainfully.

The current political system of the Ming Dynasty has long been a situation of mutual checks and balances and cooperation between the eunuchs of the inner court and the civil officials of the outer courts.

If all the eunuchs of the Wei Eunuch Party were killed, then there would be no one to monitor and balance the civil officials.

After all, eunuchs such as Liu Chao and Wang Tiqian have had a long-standing grudge with civil officials, and it is impossible for them to collude with each other.

"Emperor, the slave understands." Xu Yingyuan replied respectfully.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the list of atonement silver on the table, and couldn't help but show a bright smile.

Eight million taels of silver, plus tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, can be worth half of the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty.

At the peak of the entire Ming Dynasty, it was only possible to collect a monetary tax of less than four million taels of silver, as well as taxes in kind such as grain and cloth equivalent to more than 30 million taels of silver.

Moreover, this is only the eunuch henchmen attached to Wei Zhongxian, if the eunuch civil officials and Wei Zhongxian's family property are liquidated again, it will have to be at least doubled!

Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, became the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

"Xu Ban, you go to see Cui Chengxiu tonight and tell him about the day, otherwise, I'm afraid he will be scared to death again." Zhu Youzhen said.

"Slaves obey!"

Cui Chengxiu is the head of the 'Five Tigers' under Wei Zhongxian, the official residence of the Ministry of War, and he is also a big corrupt official, a genuine backbone of the eunuch party.

Cui Chengxiu in history, after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, was so frightened that he hanged himself, and Emperor Chongzhen not only ordered the coffin to be opened and the corpse whipped, but also confiscated a pitiful amount of family property, and he was not sorry for his reputation as the "Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party".

As for why there were so few confiscated family properties, it was naturally eaten by the nobles and civil officials who were in charge of raiding the house.

Moreover, what is even more ironic is that the financial and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, when the eunuch party was in power, turned out to be the most improved for many years, and after the resumption of the Chongzhen Dynasty in history, it could no longer be pulled like diarrhea.

Therefore, Cui Chengxiu, these eunuch civil officials, still have some practical skills, and Zhu Youzhen will naturally continue to use them.

Really.

That night, after Xu Yingyuan, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, visited, Cui Chengxiu threw away the poison and hanging rope in his arms overnight, and found the bookkeeper to calculate how much 'atonement silver' he had to pay in front of the account book.

After liquidating the eunuchs and civil officials, Zhu Youzhen received more than 10 million taels of silver and more than 100,000 hectares of fertile land throughout the northern and southern provinces in two days.

After Wei Zhongxian raids his house, Zhu Youzhen will have no less than 30 million taels of cash in his hands!

According to Zhu Youzhen's plan, all the silver and land will be used to support the Ming Guards.

A soldier of the Guards is paid twenty taels of silver every year, plus armament supplies such as weapons, armor, clothing, grain and grass, a total of fifty taels of silver.

30 million taels of silver, which can fully feed 60,000 soldiers of the Guards.

Even if you count the cavalry and artillery, which cost more, it is enough to guarantee an elite guard army of 30,000 men.

30,000 elites were enough for the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the northern defense line, so that the Houjin and the Mongols could no longer be rampant.

Of course, if you want to train an elite field army, you can't just have silver.

Zhu Youzhen also plans to give military merits to the soldiers of the Guards, so that they can enjoy land dividends according to the size of their merits, and it is the kind that can be inherited by hereditary.

The future world is already the future of commerce and industry, farmland is no longer the only major means of production, and it is useless for Zhu Youzhen to cover so much fertile land.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, once they have sufficient military salaries, coupled with the incentive of military merits, it is not too much to say that they are invincible.

Zhu Youzhen, the new emperor, was personally 'interrogating' the members of the eunuch party for more than two consecutive days, which made the nobles and Qingliu of the Jingshi extremely excited.

They all thought that as soon as the eunuchs were finished, it would be time for them to fill the power vacancies.

But.

As time passed, the news gradually came out.

The eunuchs of the past, except for Wei Zhongxian and the relatives of the Hakka family, a few people were killed, and no one was killed or imprisoned, all of them were asked for the crime and punished with money!

Cui Chengxiu, Wang Tiqian and other eunuch backbones have not even moved their official positions, and they still occupy a place in the military department and the celebrant supervisor.

This time, Xungui and Qingliu can't bear it anymore!

It's bearable, it's unbearable!

We bothered Bala to fight to the death with the eunuchs, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, now the eunuchs are alive and well, and they don't even vacate their positions, how can they be promoted and make a fortune?

The so-called new dynasty and new atmosphere, come up to the new emperor Zhu Youzhen, why is it not new at all?

Qian Qianyi, who was the leader of the Donglin Party, felt that the time had come for him to make a comeback since he heard that Wei Zhongxian had been killed, so he took a boat north along the canal overnight to Beijing.

Qian Qianyi consciously collapsed the eunuch party, and the new emperor must reuse himself as a clean gentleman, even if he enters the cabinet.

But.

When Qian Qianyi arrived in Linqing, Shandong by boat, he suddenly received a letter like a snowflake.

After reading these letters, Qian Qianyi's original intention of going to Beijing to celebrate with Qingliu Danguan instantly became gloomy, and even after many days of affection, the thin horse that had just been collected in Yangzhou was handed over by red sleeves to fragrant tea, and it was also hung up.

"Slut! What to eat! ”

"The water is so cold!"
