Chapter 137: Into the Account
ps: There is only one chapter today. I have to stay up late and get angry. The author has to go to bed quickly and try to adjust his condition tomorrow.√∟小,...o According to the author's years of experience, every day of the heavenly stems, Ren water and the earthly branch, Chou Earth, the author's condition is not very good. It will take about 5 days a month! Please forgive me!&1t;/p>
The Hongzuibao victory and the Jinzhou victory brought some joy to the capital. The streets and alleys were filled with paper confetti left after the firecrackers were set off.&1t;/p>
The military victory still made the people very excited, so on the day the news was published, the firecrackers in the capital were sold out.&1t;/p>
The people in the Ming Dynasty were not unrelated to the country. In fact, they were very similar to the social environment in later generations. Although ordinary people were related to the country and even wanted to change the current phenomenon of the country, they had no channels or solutions. The Tian family seemed to ignore it and ignored it.&1t;/p>
However, when the country's situation improves, they will also be excited and celebrate.&1t;/p>
The sanitation workers began to clean the paper scraps early in the morning, and the workers who delivered newspapers at the newspaper office had already started delivering newspapers everywhere. At the time of the year, the newspaper boys also came out.&1t;/p>
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, and the Donglin Party's fallen officials confessed to guilty."&1t;/p>
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers..."&1t;/p>
It was another morning, and the people who were getting up early soon heard the shouts of newspaper boys. This was a habitual phenomenon for all the people in the capital.&1t;/p>
Many people have also begun to get used to buying a newspaper on the way to work.&1t;/p>
Today's headlines of "Da Ming Daily" were extremely sensational. People who could basically recognize words and read the verbals were all looking at each other when they heard the hawking of newspaper boys. Many people quickly took out their wallets and bought a newspaper.&1t;/p>
The front page of the Daming Daily reported the news of the confession of the officials of the fallen party of the Donglin Party. At the same time, Li Sancai's "Donglin Corruption Record" officially began to be serialized in the Daming Daily. People were surprised to see these extremely detailed corruption records that Li Sancai confessed.&1t;/p>
The inside story of Li Sancai committing suicide in prison was also reported. It was the operation of the senior leaders of the Donglin Party. Li Sancai was transferred from the Labor Reform Bureau to the Ministry of Justice, and was then sent by the senior leaders of the Donglin Party to poisoned to death.&1t;/p>
This report was even more shocking.&1t;/p>
The Daming Daily's report on the crimes of corrupt officials of the Donglin Party lasted for three days, using a large number of pages. A large number of crimes of corruption were published.&1t;/p>
For a time, the reputation of these people was completely foul.&1t;/p>
On the other hand, Zhu Youxiao was counting the silver happily. After some statistics, the factory guards reported the seized assets.&1t;/p>
A total of 6.3 million taels of silver were seized in cash, and there were countless other real estate, land, and antique jadeware, with a value of at least 7 million taels, which would take some time to cash out.&1t;/p>
Ye Xianggao and Liu Yiyi have both served as cabinet assistants. As the saying goes, stand high and see far, making money is naturally convenient. Among them, Ye Xianggao's property is worth about 2 million taels. Liu Yiyi has more, reaching about 2.5 million taels.&1t;/p>
At the same time, it also involved many landlords and wealthy businessmen. It also had many assets.&1t;/p>
The real estate that needs to be converted will actually fluctuate in value, but 630,000 yuan is actually available, equivalent to 7.59 million yuan.&1t;/p>
As the cutting edge of power, and China has always been an official society, it is normal for more than 70 Donglin Party’s family property to be seized this time, so it is normal to get so much silver. You should know that some ding-level merchants in the late Ming Dynasty had tens of millions of taels of silver with their working capital alone.&1t;/p>
There was a wealthy family at home that was hundreds of thousands of taels, which were everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, but later it was basically cheaper in the Qing Dynasty.&1t;/p>
After reading the home search reported by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.&1t;/p>
"The emperor, Wei, and Eunuch Wei, sent people to investigate in Shanxi, Zhangjiakou and other places this year, and have found many Shanxi merchants involved in smuggling. If the court still lacks money next year, they can attack these Shanxi merchants." Tian Ergeng said to Zhu Youxiao, who thought about it and said: "Shan merchants are not good at moving for the time being. If the Shanxi merchants are searched on a large scale, the chaebols in the south might rebel together."&1t;/p>
The financial resources of the chaebols in the south are naturally very terrifying, but these chaebols are divided into various families and are not very united. After all, China is so big, it is difficult for these chaebols to dominate one by one, but they are blooming everywhere. After all, China has at least tens of thousands of years since the emergence of the ancient Taoist system. Entering feudal society, it has at least two thousand years. Merchants and landlords are not stupid, and they all attach great importance to things that can last forever, so they will not sell their industries unless they have to.&1t;/p>
This concept is different from Westerners. Westerners often sell land and factories to trade stocks in order to trade stocks, but they are played by the consortium using finance.&1t;/p>
Many Western financial means are not a big deal in China. First, the government does not allow it, and second, not everyone is a fool, and will foolishly get into the financial trap.&1t;/p>
If these chaebols were united in the late Ming Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty and the peasant army would not be able to jump up at all. However, because there were too many doors and in their opinion, it would not matter if there was another emperor, so they didn't care about the peasant army's uprising. Later, Li Zicheng was foolish and completely offended the Donglin Party bureaucrats. The Donglin Party was in control of public opinion! Moreover, the military discipline of Li Zicheng was also afraid of the Jiangnan chaebols.&1t;/p>
While Li Zicheng lost the support of the Donglin Party, these Donglin Party and Jiangnan chaebols asked Wu Sangui to put the Qing Dynasty in the pass in order to deal with Li Zicheng. So the Qing Dynasty entered the pass under the banner of avenging Chongzhen.&1t;/p>
However, in the end, the Jiangnan chaebols appeared, and the Qing Dynasty did not follow the rules. So he supported Wu Sangui's anti-Qing, and Zheng Zhilong and his son also got involved, but Wu Sangui and Zheng Zhilong were not opponents of the Qing Dynasty at all. Li Dingguo, who changed his camp and formed an alliance with the Jiangnan chaebols, was also unable to make up for the situation.&1t;/p>
It was not until the end that these bureaucrats and businessmen realized that the Ming Dynasty was the best. But the country had been completely destroyed by them.&1t;/p>
The history of the late Ming Dynasty told future generations a profound truth that private capital is definitely unreliable. Especially the private capital that began to be cute and ambitious was extremely dangerous.&1t;/p>
Because these private businessmen have no borders, they can switch to camp at any time.&1t;/p>
The British World War I was ruined by the Rothschild consortium, which led to the decline of the Sun-Downward Empire, which further proves that once these businessmen without borders become stronger and become chaebols and consortiums, it is like a cancer for a country.&1t;/p>
A truly reliable consortium must have national boundaries, that is, a national consortium.&1t;/p>
The earliest national consortium in history was the "Junker Consortium" formed by the Germans before and after the French-Prussian War, and then Japan also exhibited national chaebols in World War I. After World War II, the Rothschild Consortium weakened, and Britain and France also took the opportunity to establish national consortiums.&1t;/p>
So the earth in the 21st century is actually a world controlled by consortiums. Monopoly is the basic rule. The so-called anti-monopoly law is just an effective weapon used to deal with private capital.&1t;/p>
For example, a private-invested company has developed a very profitable new product, so at this time the consortium can use antitrust law to sanction it and forcefully squeeze out market share. Then use various advantages to monopolize this new product.&1t;/p>
As for industries that are monopolized by consortiums, it is very simple to avoid anti-monopoly laws. Just control several companies separately, and then hit the right hand with your left hand and show it to the people! And like Microsoft, because there are too many operating systems, it will lead to market chaos, and then it will simply openly trample on the anti-monopoly laws.&1t;/p>
For Zhu Youxiao who traveled through time, the only thing that he was glad that the chaebols in the south had not yet united. Although they were rich, they also competed with each other and pulled each other. This was the reason why the Qing Dynasty took advantage of the situation. Zhu Youxiao was going to develop royal capital at this time, and the environment was obviously still good.&1t;/p>
However, at this time, Zhu Youxiao's power was still insufficient. Once the southern chaebols rebelled, the momentum would be absolutely terrifying. In history, Zheng Zhilong and his son could also pull out more than 100,000 troops. Although Zheng Zhilong had not been granted the imperial examination at this time and was still in a low-level pirate level, other chaebols had a lot of money.&1t;/p>
So Zhu Youxiao can fight corruption, but he can't challenge the nerves of those big businessmen. That is definitely a force that is more difficult to deal with than bureaucrats.&1t;/p>
"The gentle minister is reckless." Tian Ergeng knew that he had said the wrong thing. It would be okay for the merchant to arrest one or two at this time. If the smuggling Shanxi merchants were destroyed at one time, there would definitely be trouble.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, I think that next year, I can set up checkpoints and collect taxes in the canal rivers, and I will definitely get a lot of money." Wei Zhongxian also suggested at this time.&1t;/p>
"This can be there." Zhu Youxiao nodded. The canal transport losses are high. After all, the Zhongcanal has not been repaired yet. However, Zhu Youxiao is too lazy to build the Zhongcanal. In two years, the grain will not be transported by the river. These canals will be thrown to private businessmen to use them, and set the checkpoints up. This route is not allowed to be taken.&1t;/p>
At this time, Wei Zhongxian no longer interfered in the political operations of the court. This kind of operation activity was left to Chen Yan, so Wei Zhongxian also spent his thoughts on the Taxation Bureau, thinking about how to collect some money all day long, but he achieved a lot of results, which made the tax revenue of the Taxation Bureau begin to grow rapidly.&1t;/p>
However, the taxation method of the Taxation Bureau still has principles. Wei Zhongxian's scavenging activities have established these major principles. For example, it cannot affect the lives of ordinary people, which is the greatest principle. Furthermore, small and medium-sized private capital cannot be eliminated. These small and medium-sized private capital have good production organization capabilities, which is beneficial to economic development.&1t;/p>
After some report, Zhu Youxiao said with great satisfaction: "You have worked hard this year, and I see it all. Since it is the end of the year, I will reward you with 100,000 silver dollars each!"&1t;/p>
"Thank you for your grace."&1t;/p>
Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian knelt down and thanked him quickly. The others were all empty, and the silver was real. Moreover, these silver was rewarded by the emperor himself, and they were income that could be obtained.&1t;/p>
This made Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian the highest-paid officials in the system.&1t;/p>
In fact, this is the simplest, most practical way to control the wrist, as Yuan Shikai said: holding a butcher knife in one hand and a silver in the other. Obediently look at the reward, and disobediently eat the knife. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
