Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Listen to what Taizu said.

Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment before waving his hand.

Next to him, Wang Chengen immediately walked over and took back the Emperor's Sword.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wen."

"You are the first to defend Nanjing."

"I said that if you can hold it, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"In this way, I promise that you will enter the Lingyan Pavilion and be ranked first."

"In addition, I will confer upon you the title of Duke of Wen, and reward you with fifty thousand silver coins and one thousand fertile fields."

"But you can keep the title of Duke for your generation, and when your descendants inherit it, it will automatically be downgraded to a hereditary earl."

Zhu Youjian opened his mouth slowly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below exploded!

Whether it is Huang Jin, Feng Ying, or Shi Fenglai and so on.

They all stared at Wen Tiren who was kneeling on the ground.

There is envy and jealousy in his eyes.

Oh shit!

This dog really licked it!

The first Duke during the Chongzhen reign!

It's neither Qin Liangyu nor Mao Wenlong.

It turned out to be Wen Tiren!

Grass...

Wen Tiren, who was kneeling on the ground, did not expect Zhu Youjian to be so generous!

He is now the Left Pillar of the State and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

In addition to the first place in Lingyan Pavilion and the title of Duke...

Needless to say, whenever future generations mention Chongzhen, they will inevitably mention Wen Tihen!

He will go down in history along with your Majesty's achievements!

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren also trembled with excitement.

Worth it...

It’s really worth it!

It's worth it that he stands so firmly on Your Majesty's side!

Although the title of Duke could only be passed down to his generation, he was content.

He was very clear about his own abilities. He could not compare with those generals in fighting, nor could he compare with the hundreds of schools of thought that had emerged recently in terms of civil administration.

The reason why I was able to get the first place was just by licking the words.

Consider Your Majesty as the absolute core and do everything Your Majesty wants to do.

In this situation, it is a blessing to be able to get the title of Duke.

As for the different looks behind him, he simply chose to ignore them.

I told you to lick it a long time ago but you refused. Now you are jealous?

late!

"I thank your majesty!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

There were no extra words, and even Wen Tiren didn't dare to show any reserve.

I’m afraid that this honor I’ve obtained will be lost.

"My dear, please get up."

"I see your hard work."

"I'll need you to help me share the burden in the future."

Looking at Wen Tiren who was trembling all over, Zhu Youjian raised his hand with a smile.

I saw that many people below had turned their attention to me.

Zhu Youjian then continued.

"Alright, the rest of your rewards will be settled after we finish the matter in the south."

"If you have nothing else to do, leave the court."

Although the civil officials have returned, the military generals are still busy outside.

Zhu Youjian planned to wait until the New Year to reward them together.

It can be considered as a conclusion to this matter.

-------------------

time flies.

January came in the blink of an eye.

Troops from all directions have taken back all the towns.

Except for the troops that stayed behind, the generals from various departments have also set out to return to Beijing.

It is said that His Majesty will promote all of them to higher positions on February 6th, New Year's Eve!

This is a big deal.

Isn't this what they've been busy doing?

January 28th.

The Minister of Revenue Guo Yunhou formally prepared a memorial and submitted it to Your Majesty.

Zhu Youjian was stunned when he saw this luxurious list.

"Good guy..."

"Taizu is right indeed."

"I am the only poor person in the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Taizu, look."

"The total amount of silver in the southern part of the country is nearly 300 million taels..."

"There are also various antiques and treasures worth 60 million."

"If we count all the land that has been invalidated and redistributed, the total wealth of these anti-Wang gentry is probably 500 million taels..."

“It’s really outrageous.”

This is too much money.

There were so many that Zhu Youjian's hands were shaking!

What does three hundred million silver coins represent?

It means that all the wealth in the world has fallen into his hands.

If all this money were spent, the energy that could be generated would be unimaginable.

"This is the ginseng that has been grown in the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years."

"They are all too fat."

"Didn't we settle an account with you before?"

"Basically all the money that Daming has missed out on in recent years is in here."

Li Chen was not surprised at all.

As a person who had experienced it, he knew very well how rich the Ming Dynasty was.

These bastards are taking bribes and emptying the treasury, while they themselves are getting richer.

If he had not had any soldiers when he first traveled through time.

The first thing to do is to deal with these bastards.

"call..."

"I still have more than 140 million in cash in my little treasury."

"With this amount, I have more than 500 million in cash..."

"If I include the money from the bank, I would probably be the richest emperor in history."

"The entire Ming Dynasty's wealth is in my hands."

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but do the math.

With the money in his hands, even the Tang Dynasty, which was known for its wealth, would have to call him a local tyrant.

With so much money, so many things can be done!

"What about your money..."

“This is all people’s money.”

"We have to return it to the people through various means."

"We estimate that after the balance is reached, the annual tax revenue of the imperial court should be around 300 million taels."

"Combined with the bank's reserve funds, it will be enough for the emperor to use his power in the future."

Li Chen saw that Zhu Youjian looked like he had never seen the world.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and remind him.

Wealth is attractive, especially since Zhu Youjian was a pauper before.

He was really afraid that this guy would become addicted to it.

"cough..."

"Don't worry, Taizu. I'm just talking."

"I will definitely return the money to the people later."

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian was a man who had seen many storms.

He waved his hands and took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.

"That's good."

"Let's prepare for the New Year."

"I'm afraid quite a few people will be rewarded this time."

Li Chen stared at Zhu Youjian for a long time before nodding and saying nothing more.

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he immediately patted his chest and expressed confidence.

"Don't worry, Taizu, there will be no problem."

"I'm so poor now that all I have left is money!"

"Give them a big red envelope this time!"

"It's a good opportunity to let everyone know that as long as they work for me, Zhu Youjian, I will not treat them unfairly as long as they are serious!"

Reward?

This is not a problem for Zhu Youjian now.

He is no longer the poor guy who was so stingy that he would be stingy even if he was given a reward of 100 silver coins.

Him now!

rich!

If you have money, you can stand firm!

Damn it, after this wave of rewards is given out, he doesn’t believe that there will be anyone in the court who dares to show his teeth to him for no reason.

It's against him!

"That's good."

"Okay, if you're fine, get lost."

"Don't disturb our rest."

Zhu Youjian's confidence made Li Chen smile.

yes..

We have money, soldiers and the support of the people.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had completely recovered.

To put it bluntly, it's no different from breaking up and then reorganizing.

Land was redistributed and public grievances were minimized.

This wave can at least extend the Ming Dynasty’s economy for another two hundred years!
