Chapter 217 The sword points to the Shanxi merchants
Most of the arrested thieves and rats were released from the Tianqi Dynasty. Who had checked the imperial house before and could solve any problem if the silver filial piety comes up.
The phenomenon of corruption becoming a trend is not only reflected in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, but also in the Ming Dynasty's inner court. Since Emperor Chongzhen's death, he was afraid of Wei Zhongxian's power eunuch. In addition, the ministers in the court kept admonishing, so he restrained the power of the factory guards and never cared about the imperial village.
Fortunately, the imperial village investigation campaign initiated by Emperor Chongzhen was specially set up to set up a special Da Neo Factory and Xijishi Factory. Anyone who dares to replace the Dongjishi Factory is afraid that there will be a lot of information to inform you.
After all, most of the eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner factory and the west factory are not involved in the 12th Supervisor, Fourth Department and Eighth Bureau of the inner court. They are all newcomers and want to climb up.
Although so many wealth, grain, land, etc. have been found, Emperor Chongzhen’s mood was not as good as he imagined.
yes.
This batch of household wealth searched will be filled into the treasury, which will greatly alleviate the difficulties of Emperor Chongzhen, but the logic behind this is too bad.
The emperor's location is Beizhili, or a slave under the emperor's name. They are all so crazy and corrupt. What will happen to other places?
It's shocking!
When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he immediately thought of the eight major Jin merchants headed by the Fan family. The eunuchs and eunuchs in charge of the imperial village under the name of the inner court were all so unscrupulous.
How terrifying would the eight major Jin merchants who were far away from that day? As the Eight Banners of Jianlu, they were seized in the Ming Dynasty's distribution war and provided food, iron and other white gloves. I am afraid that the officialdom within their sphere of influence will be infiltrated!
"I asked you to screen the people who took over the imperial village and the frameworks at all levels to be built, how are you doing?" Emperor Chongzhen, who was calm, looked at Wang Chengen and said, "In addition, are the land that was searched all classified under the imperial village?"
Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, the eunuchs in charge of the villages in each prefecture have all been clarified, and they will preside over the imperial villages under the jurisdiction of each prefecture.
According to the emperor's previous decree, all systems are being improved. The land that was seized, except for the disputed batch of land, are all classified under the name of the imperial village where they are located."
As the land he actually controlled, Emperor Chongzhen was not going to allocate the land under the name of the imperial village to local governments as official fields. He had to firmly grasp these imperial villages, help him earn more money, harvest corresponding food, and use it to resettle widows and orphans.
"You did a good job in this."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said to Wang Chengen: "After this matter is clear, we will ask the eunuchs in charge of the villages in each province to re-register the land of the imperial villages under the jurisdiction of each province.
In the future, based on this, the land of the imperial village under the name of the inner court will not be more than one acre, and no less than one acre. As for other things, we will talk about it when the framework is built.
Let's go and go to the West Garden, and I want to meet the martial arts lecturers!"
Regarding the imperial village under the name of the inner court, Emperor Chongzhen will use this search of the land of the thief and rat as a final supplement and will no longer expand the scale of the imperial village.
A big expert factory specializing in the imperial affairs will promote the rules they set, and is also called the Xiji Factory, which will supervise the imperial affairs in various prefectures. If similar things dare to happen again during this period, everything will be done according to the rules.
He, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will not be stingy with the money and future he should give, but if he does not give, the eunuchs below cannot take it, and this nature will change.
Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua followed closely behind with different expressions. They didn't know very well. Why did their emperor go to the West Garden to summon people from the martial arts lecture hall?
Is it because they are dissatisfied with the errands they do?
Could it be that they were responsible for this matter and there were any other omissions?
"Fangzhenghua, how many people are there with you in the West Factory back to Beijing?" Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, looked at Fangzhenghua who was following him and asked.
"The emperor, there are more than 400 people." Fang Zhenghua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The other people in the West Factory are now under the rule of various prefectures to assist the internal factory in stabilizing order."
"This time, your West Factory and the Inner Factory are responsible for supervising the Huangzhuang business, and the errands are done very well."
Emperor Chongzhen praised without stinginess: "All the people who are called Xichang will return to Beijing, and the rest will be handed over to the inner factory to take charge of the aftermath.
The reward is waiting for your Xichang to do another thing and reward it with a kind reward.
I have a big event here, and I want you to lead the entire West Factory to assist in completing it with the generals I selected from the martial arts lecture hall.”
"I received the order!" Fang Zhenghua hurriedly replied.
This time, I took the thief from the inner court and practiced my skills. I have accumulated a lot of professional experience in house searches from Laixi Entertainment Factory.
Since this is the case, it is time for the eight major Shanxi merchants led by the Fan family to get rid of them. Emperor Chongzhen had already thought about their reputation.
Incorporating them into the Yuan case, Yuan Chonghuan said that Fan Yongdou and other rebels were secretly colluding with the Jianlu Eight Banners to do things that harmed the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps Yuan Chonghuan was not aware of this matter, but Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do something in his name, which was still feasible.
"Han Zanzhou, go to the west garden first." Emperor Chongzhen, who thought of this, looked at Han Zanzhou who was accompanying him and said, "I will gather all the senior generals and schools in the martial arts lecture hall. I will meet them at the Imperial Platform."
"Here!"
Since we have decided to get rid of the eight great Shanxi merchants and completely knock down Jianlu’s hidden arms, we must do things perfectly.
Emperor Chongzhen had thought about it and in the name of special assessment, he called Zhou Yuji and his strong generals, mainly Zhou Yuji and Chen Jisheng as the auxiliary, commanded the Yongwei camp. In addition, a group of elite troops were drawn from the Tianxiong Army and rushed to Zhangjiakou.
After all the elite troops dispatched and the people from the West Factory arrived at their locations, Fang Zhenghua conveyed the order and formulated a combat plan for the destruction of the eight major Shanxi merchants.
However, if the eight major Shanxi merchants really want to touch, there will be shocks in the Shanxi officialdom and even Xuanfu Town. In this way, the inner court will not only send Founder to lead the Western Factory, but also specialize in the investigation of the eight major Shanxi merchants, but also send another person to be responsible for stabilizing the local situation.
Wang Chengen is currently carrying an important position and cannot leave Beijing easily. In this way, he sent Cao Huachun to lead the people from the East Factory to leave Beijing and go to Shanxi after Zhou Yuji and the others.
When he rushed to the Imperial Terrace of Xiyuan, Emperor Chongzhen formed a complete plan in his mind to ensure that he could eliminate the turmoil of the eight major Shanxi merchants and minimize it.
