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

Chapter 68 Brother, Come Back Quickly

Ming dynasty.

Capital.

Golden Palace.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with a sad face.

"Hey, Brother Xian has been away for almost ten days, and I don't know when he will come back?"

Since ten days ago, he followed the advice of his virtuous brother and ransacked the homes of all the ministers of civil and military affairs who were corrupt and took bribes.

Thousands of officials, large and small, were implicated, not counting their family members and servants.

these ten days.

Chongzhen has been dealing with the turmoil of ransacking his home.

After all, thousands of officials' homes were ransacked. This move was too shocking.

Not only did it scare the other civil and military ministers, but even the common people in the capital were trembling.

Everyone was afraid that they would be implicated in the ransacking of the house.

So during this period of time, everyone was very cautious in what they said and did, for fear of suffering unwarranted disasters.

Over the entire Daming capital.

A dark cloud was shrouded in everything, and everyone was almost out of breath.

But okay.

As Chongzhen slowly revealed the truth about the house raids to the public.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that they will not be implicated.

can be followed.

Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

According to the news from the palace, the proceeds from the raid this time exceeded [-] million taels of silver.

The bulk of it is 7000 million taels of silver and more than 500 million acres of fertile land.

There are countless other gold and silver jewels.

As soon as the news came out.

The common people were all shocked and lost their voices.

"Oh my god, two hundred million taels of silver?"

"Who can tell me what two hundred million taels of silver is?"

"My darling, just give me a little, and I'll get rich."

"These damned corrupt officials embezzled so much money."

"That's right! They should be slaughtered all over the house, so much money is the fat and anointing of our common people!"

Soon, the news spread throughout the Ming capital.

The capital was in an uproar!

Everyone asked His Majesty the emperor to execute these corrupt officials.

These corrupt officials don't know how much blood they sucked from their common people before they embezzled this appalling wealth.

Chongzhen has been making decrees these days to drag corrupt officials who have committed crimes to the vegetable market and behead them.

As for the family members of these corrupt officials, the men were dragged to the border for exile, and the women were sent to Jiaofangsi to pick up guests.

These days, the vegetable market in the capital is very lively.

The common people watching the beheading surrounded the vegetable market tightly.

Crowds of people, three floors inside and three floors outside.

It can be said that the people in the capital took the whole family with them.

All of a sudden, it created a spectacle of empty alleys in the capital.

To know.

In the past, this scene was only available during the Lantern Festival.

The beheading in the vegetable market lasted for five days and five nights, and the heads of corrupt officials one after another were beheaded by the executioner.

The splashed blood pooled into the ditch of the vegetable market, dyeing the water in the stinky ditch red.

The common people also watched for five days and five nights.

Tired and hungry, I went back to have a meal, and then came to the vegetable market to watch the excitement.

After Chongzhen dealt with government affairs day and night, the storm of house raids finally subsided.

And the civil and military ministers in the DPRK and China have been honest and low-key during this time.

joke.

Thousands of officials were ransacked and beheaded.

When these civil and military ministers came to court, they found that many familiar faces had disappeared.

If you are not honest at this time, what if His Majesty doesn't like it, and you drag him to the vegetable market to behead him?
When the time comes, I don’t know where to cry!

The matter of ransacking the house was finally over, and Chongzhen thought he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Where to think.

There was news that the drought in the north was severe, and countless people were forced to flee famine.

A large number of hungry people have begun to starve to death.

If there is no way to solve it, it is very likely that a large number of victims who cannot survive will gather and become an army of refugees to attack the city.

At this time, Chongzhen had a headache.

Could it be that just after repelling the army of intruders, there will be another rebellion of refugees in the north?
Only by sending a large amount of relief food to the north can the riots be stopped.

But where can Chongzhen find a large amount of food?

In the past few years, Daming suffered from drought, wars and chaos, and food shortages.

Even the capital's food supply is insufficient, so how can there be any surplus food to be transported to the north for disaster relief?

The capital's food soared to five taels of silver per stone.

You know, food used to cost only one tael of silver and one stone.

Can be imagined.

Food has become so scarce.

that's it.

The supply of food in the capital is still in short supply.

Chongzhen sighed.

"If Brother Xian is here, he will definitely find a way."

Originally, Chongzhen confiscated 7000 million taels of silver, which was the time when he was in high spirits.

Just when he was about to revive Daming with great ambition.

He suddenly found out.

There is almost no food left.

You know, you want the people of Ming Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, and the society is stable.

Adequate food supply is essential.

Food is the foundation of everything.

But now.

Chongzhen found out tragically that he had so much silver, but he didn't know where to buy food.

There is a large shortage of food all over the country, how can there be any surplus food to sell to him!
Wang Chengen hurriedly said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, my lord, the immortal master will be back soon. When the immortal master left, he said that he would go back for ten and a half months. It seems that he will be back soon."

Wang Chengen could see Chongzhen's anxiety these days.

But it has no good way.

He could only secretly wait for the immortal master to come back and share the heavy responsibility for the emperor.

Wang Chengen firmly believed that once the immortal master came back, all difficulties would be solved.

"Hey! I hope! I hope my virtuous brother will come back soon."

Chongzhen pinned all his hopes on Chen Fan.

Because Chongzhen knew that with the help of his younger brother's supernatural powers, his difficulties were nothing.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and send someone to notify me as soon as my virtuous brother comes back."

Wang Chengen responded respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the slaves and servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation have been watching. As soon as there is news about the immortal master, the servants will immediately report to His Majesty."

Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction, he was always at ease when he was doing things with his companion.

Sudden.

Chongzhen remembered something and asked:

"By the way, the National Teacher's Mansion that you sent someone to build next to the imperial city has been repaired?"

After Chongzhen seized a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from his family, he asked Daban to find someone to build a magnificent National Teacher's Mansion.

This is prepared for Chen Fan.

Wang Chengen smiled confidently:

"Don't worry, my lord, this servant has arranged for tens of thousands of craftsmen to work day and night. According to what the craftsman said, the work can be completed today."

The National Teacher's Mansion is very magnificently built, and its specifications are much higher than that of the Prince's Mansion.

Wang Chengen went to see it in person and was very satisfied. The area alone is as large as two princes' mansions.

Only such a grand national teacher's mansion can be worthy of the status of an immortal teacher.

"that's fine!"

Chongzhen now realizes the importance of Chen Fan more and more.

When encountering a food crisis, he is helpless.

The reason why Chongzhen built the National Teacher's Mansion for Chen Fan was mainly because he wanted Chen Fan to be the national teacher of Ming Dynasty.

Presumably so.

The virtuous brother will help him revive the Daming with more heart.

Chongzhen was thinking.

Sudden.

A loud shout came in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the immortal master is back!"

　On the first day of setting up the stall, I sold it for 6 yuan. They thought it was not delicious, so they smashed my stall and paid 500 yuan. I refused to accept it and went up to argue. I was slapped. I earn 1 yuan from working at the stall in one day. I will continue to work hard tomorrow.

　　God's comment: Ask for the recipe!
