Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 41 The source of 7000 million taels of silver

Daming has been reduced to the point where the people are struggling to survive, and Donglin party struggle is the most important factor.

The civil and military officials above the court did not want to serve the people wholeheartedly, but instead focused on fighting.

Make the court hall into a mess, and the whole Daming is also unlucky.

In today's Ming Dynasty, wars are raging everywhere.

It is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Chongzhen said with a heartbroken look:

"I really didn't expect that these ministers who usually regard themselves as gentlemen would embezzle so much money. These are the people's fat and the people's anointment! I am so disappointed in them."

Chen Fan answered.

"The so-called knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, that's probably it."

Hearing this, Chongzhen sighed.

"I was deceived by them, so miserably."

Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

"That's right! Big brother is too young after all, he is no match for these old guys. These bad old men are very bad, they work together to fool big brother."

"Brother, you will see these records when the time comes, how they tricked you into abolishing Jinyiwei and Dongchang."

"According to historical experts, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have a great deterrent effect on these bureaucrats, preventing them from doing things that endanger the common people."

"But brother, after their flickering and dismantling of the factory guards, they were like wild horses that had run loose, completely releasing their greed in their hearts, so much so that they spoiled the good Ming Dynasty like this."

The more Chongzhen listened to it, the more angry he became, and he wished to kill them now.

"It's in vain that I trust them so much."

Chen Fan quickly comforted him.

"So, the urgent task now, big brother, is to rebuild the shelf of the factory guard, and then according to the records in the book, directly ransack the houses of those corrupt officials."

The history books clearly record the details of Li Zicheng's rewards, which minister's house seized millions of taels of silver, and which official's cellar dug up gold, silver and jewelry...

These history books have records.

As long as Chongzhen arrests people according to the records in the book, he guarantees that he will catch one person and will not wrong a good person.

"Your brother is right. It seems that the factory guard is indeed going to be re-established. As for the candidate for the factory guard..."

Seeing Chongzhen bow his head in thought, Chen Fan gave Chongzhen an idea.

"Brother, it's good to let the chief manager Wang Chengen be in charge of the factory guard. After all, the prince and the elder brother hanged themselves to death together, which is enough to show the loyalty of the prince. Even experts and scholars have high praise for the prince."

Chongzhen's eyes lit up, he almost forgot about this.

The big companion hanged himself with him, and his loyalty can be learned from.

"Big Companion, did you hear that? Since my virtuous brother recommended you, I will give you this opportunity to take charge of the factory guard. I will give you three days to form a good team and wait for my dispatch. Then I will be of great use."

Wang Chengen, who was behind Chongzhen, stepped forward quickly.

Kneeling on the ground excitedly replied:

"Please don't worry, my lord. The servants promise to arrange manpower within three days and wait for the lord's orders at any time."

Hearing that His Majesty let him be in charge of the factory guard, Wang Chengen trembled all over and was very excited.

The Jinyiwei made civil and military officials frightened by the news, and Dongchang made the people all over the world tremble with fear.

It can be said.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the two most powerful institutions in Ming Dynasty.

just now.

His Majesty merged these two largest power agencies into one and established the factory guard.

And let him take charge of the factory guard.

The power in it made him inexplicably excited.

Wang Chengen raised his head and secretly glanced at Chen Fan.

I am grateful for Chen Fan's recommendation.

If it wasn't for Chen Fan to speak for him, how could he have such power now.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, you can do it now. After I finish reading these books, it's time for you to use it. Go!"

Chongzhen waved his hand and asked Wang Chengen to arrange the manpower.

When Wang Chengen walked away, Chongzhen turned to look at Chen Fan.

"My dear brother, I will take these books back first. My brother is very interested in how people in the fairy world think of me."

"Brother, you will know when you take it back and have a look, but the overall evaluation is not bad."

According to what Chen Fan learned, historians' evaluation of Chongzhen is fairly fair.

Although self-willed, suspicious personality.

But he also works diligently for the people and cares about the people.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty was unable to recover, and Chongzhen could only watch the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty sink slowly.

In the end, when the Ming Dynasty fell, he chose to die for the country and hang himself to death.

He fulfilled the ancestral motto that the emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country, retaining the last trace of dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

This alone is enough to make people move.

Chongzhen was very interested in these books.

After all, these books are all about him, and he can re-examine his life from another angle and learn from it.

But when he saw one of the books, Chongzhen was puzzled.

"My dear brother, who is this Chen Yuanyuan? Why hasn't my eldest brother heard of it?"

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

"Oh, brother is talking about "The Stories Chongzhen and Chen Yuanyuan Have to Tell". I don't know about this either. I guess it's a gossip made up by some web writer!"

Chen Fan also just saw that this book was related to Chongzhen, so he bought it together.

As for the content of the book, Chen Fan hasn't read it yet, so he doesn't know.

"Then what is the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard? The elder brother only has one empress and two concubines. How can it be so exaggerated as it is said above."

Chen Fan smiled awkwardly:
"This "Three Palaces and Six Courtyards of Chongzhen" is about the eldest brother's love affair. I thought that the eldest brother might be more interested, so I brought it over together."

Chen Fan heard the laughter coming from Chang'an Street, and quickly changed the topic.

"Brother, when will you punish these corrupt elements, one more day they exist, one more day they will squeeze the common people."

really.

As soon as Chongzhen heard this, his anger suddenly rose again.

"Don't worry, after reading these books, I want to see what kind of sanctimonious villains there are. Then I will find them all, confiscate their homes and exterminate them, and I will not let go of any fish that slip through the net."

Chongzhen looked at the minister in the distance and said viciously.

Chen Fan frantically nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Big Brother is right. None of these moths can be spared. The reason why the Ming Dynasty is in its current state is entirely their fault. Big Brother needs a lot of silver to repair the wounds of the Ming Dynasty. Just let these moths contribute. It’s an advantage for them.”

Chongzhen also had such a plan.

In order to restore Daming to the situation of smooth government and harmonious people, silver is indispensable.

"Let them be proud for a few days first, and then see how I deal with them."

Chongzhen looked into the distance and murmured softly.

Chongzhen stood on the wall of the imperial palace, scanned the capital, and then returned to the Golden Luan Hall.

He wants to go back and read these books seriously.

So as to provide him with ideas for governing the country in the future and not make the same mistakes as before.

　When I have money, I will destroy all coriander seeds in the world, so that it will be extinct from now on.

　　Divine comment: When I get rich, I will catch you and feed you coriander.
