Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Have you heard? Yesterday, the emperor showed kindness and released the children under three years old with their mothers, and the pregnant woman was also spared from death."

"I've known for a long time that this new emperor is a kind man!"

"No, you can be exempted from the crime of destroying the nine tribes."

"If you ask me, I should kill them all!"

"You know Hammer, this is the Emperor's mercy, only the Holy Lord can do this!"

The next day, early in the streets and alleys in the capital, rumors began to spread that the emperor had pardoned pregnant women.

With the help of many caring people, this matter soon became known to the people in the city.

Not long after, Zhu Youjian was given the hat of a benevolent gentleman!

Needless to say, this must have been the work of the factory guards, otherwise it would not have spread throughout the capital so quickly.

And while the people were discussing this matter heatedly, the officials who had been forced to watch the beheading for two days were sitting on the floor tiles at home crying without tears!

Damn!

Bullshit Renjun!

Will Renjun allow those factory guards to act like this?

I originally thought that those Jin Yiwei would only take away the family's money at most.

But what they didn't expect was that in addition to the silver, the chairs and benches at home, the pots and bowls used for eating, and even the gilded murals on the walls were all taken away!

Some senior officials almost didn't recognize him when they returned home!

Just stand out and be completely destitute!

Especially those from the Donglin Party, under the instruction of Wei Zhongxian, they really moved away even the stepping stones.

Many people were so angry that they cursed at home!

Grass!

They swore that if the emperor hadn't just chopped off more than 3 heads at Zhongyi Temple, they would definitely make these bastards pay the price!

And now they can only look at the empty room and cry without tears.

After all, this was an investigation of stolen money, and the emperor had already given him some mercy. How could they dare to join in and seek death again?

However, although he did not dare to say it with his mouth, he silently made a note to Zhu Youjian in his heart.

Row!

You like to use factory guards, right?

You like to imitate Taizu's copying of knives, right?

You wait for me!

Compared with those officials who were shaking with anger, Zhu Youjian was in a pretty good mood today.

Wei Zhongxian was worthy of being a loyal royal dog, and he managed to get nearly 800 million taels of silver from the homes of these officials.

Including the wealth contributed by these eight Shanxi merchants, the income this time has been close to 9000 million.

The most important thing is that all this money comes from internal funds.

With so much money in hand at once, Zhu Youjian felt that he had a lot to do now!

No, it was just a quiet night. The next morning, Zhu Youjian went directly to the side hall without even holding the morning meeting.

He already knows what Taizu arranged yesterday.

He admitted that he was impulsive.

In fact, after coming down from the city gate, Zhu Youjian felt a little regretful.

However, it was difficult for him to take back the decree once it was given.

Unexpectedly, Taizu helped him solve this problem so easily.

Considering that he was the one who caused the trouble, Zhu Youjian could only bite the bullet and come over to plead guilty.

"Taizu..."

"Are you awake?"

Carefully enter the side hall.

Seeing that there was no Taizu on the chair, Zhu Youjian took a breath and then bowed to the portrait on the wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden boot suddenly flew out of the portrait.

Then it passed through Zhu Youjian's head while he was confused.

"Oh, isn't this our Daren-kun?"

"What brought you here?"

Li Chen pulled a face and slowly floated out of the portrait.

Looking at Zhu Youjian in front of him, his tone was a little mocking.

Only then did Zhu Youjian come to his senses, subconsciously touched his forehead and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.

"Taizu, I was wrong!"

(Many people say that Zhu Youjian did not dare to use the word "I" in front of Taizu! After that, he changed it to "I" most of the time, mainly because the author did not know how to use this title...)

Looking at Zhu Youjian, who was kneeling on the ground with a bachelor look on his face and admitting his mistake, Li Chen's lips twitched slightly.

He asked after a while before sitting on the chair.

"wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Let's hear it."

Seeing that Taizu did not continue to get angry, Zhu Youjian thought for a while and replied quickly.

"I shouldn't have let those young children and women go."

"This is too merciful and I didn't consider it well."

Ok?

After listening to what Zhu Youjian said, Li Chen slapped his face and said "tsk".

That's it?

Hey...

"You still don't understand..."

"As an emperor, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness."

"If you don't let him go, it means you are decisive in killing him. If you let him go, it means you are kind-hearted."

“There is neither right or wrong choice.”

"But your fault is that the precautionary measures are too naive."

"If you choose kindness, you have to bear the price of kindness!"

"You have to be prepared for this, because people's hearts are so unpredictable!"

"We're not angry at you for letting those people go, but we're angry at you for not knowing how to defend yourself!"

"As the same saying goes, you have to think twice before doing anything, be thoughtful and never act on impulse."

Li Chen said this very seriously.

Zhu Youjian, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly realized after listening.

It turns out Taizu was angry about this...

"I see..."

"I will never do it again!"

One of Zhu Youjian's strengths is that he corrects his mistakes when he knows they are wrong.

Now that he knows what the problem is, he will definitely pay attention next time.

really...

He didn't think enough about it.

"Okay, just remember."

"Let's stop this matter. We don't want to talk more."

"Let's talk about other things. The money collected has been returned to the treasury."

"Do you have any ideas on how to use it next?"

Seeing that Zhu Youjian had listened to what he said.

Li Chen didn't bother to dwell on this matter.

We are all adults, so there is no need to say more as long as we understand these things.

"Yes, Taizu."

"As for money, I plan to allocate 3000 million taels first to replenish the national treasury."

"The remaining 6000 million taels are reserved for backup."

"The money will be used first to restore people's livelihood around the capital, to allocate military salaries and purchase equipment in the following years, and to train the new army to prepare for disasters."

Zhu Youjian quickly gave several directions for spending money with his fingers.

He had already started thinking about this matter of spending money before.

It's nothing more than making allocations around people's livelihood and the military.

"Yeah, that sounds fine."

"But now you need to add two more points."

"The first is to improve the welfare benefits of officials."

"We started this thing. We used to think that officials could just eat and drink by themselves, but we didn't know that it would be really difficult to support a large family with that little money."

"Many corrupt officials here were forced out by our policies."

"So now we are going to improve their salary. In addition to increasing their salaries, you also need to set up a new department."

"This department is called [Pension Association] and is responsible for the payment of pensions."

"The so-called pension is specifically used to provide life security for officials after they retire!"

"As long as you have worked in the court for more than 20 years, or are over 50 years old, you can receive a pension based on 70.00% of the basic salary every year after retiring from your position."

"This not only increases wages but also provides retirement security. We cannot guarantee that all officials will not be corrupt because of this, but at least some of them can be eliminated."

"As for the remaining ones, just find them out and kill them!"
