Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 736;
Chapter 690; The emperor wants to open a brothel
The imperial city of Chang'an City!
Looking at the Tai Chi Palace that has been relocated, Li Shimin was filled with emotion, it is finally over!I can finally sit in this position!
"It's a pity that all the generals under my command have been sent out. Otherwise, everyone can experience together the place that was bought with their lives."

Hearing the emperor's emotion, a group of civil servants next to him nodded. It is undeniable that this day would not have come without those generals who put their heads on their waistbands and fought desperately.

Fang Xuanling accepted Li Shimin's words;

"Yes Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty, tomorrow's court meeting can be held in this Taiji Palace!"

The happy Li Shimin turned his head to look at the civil servants who were born in the Qin Palace, and found that several people wanted to talk and then closed their mouths, and asked curiously;
"What are you Aiqings doing? Our old brothers are not strangers, so it's okay to speak up!"

"Uh, this... that... Your Majesty, another document came from Shangyang County, Henan Province, that... An Xiwei killed more than 1 heads in just five or six days. Your Majesty..."

As soon as the white-bearded old man finished speaking, Li Shimin followed indifferently;
"Oh, that's all?"

A group of civil servants saw that the emperor didn't take it seriously at all, and another civil servant was anxious;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the number of heads hanging at the gates of Li County County, men, women, and children has already exceeded [-]. If this continues... the people on Henan Road... this is amazing. His Majesty!"

There were two people who started, the two servants also nodded, and the rest of the civil servants started.

"That's right, Your Majesty, some crimes are not too serious, and it's enough to whip dozens of lashes or twenty boards, but the nephew of the Li family doesn't even look at it, and he doesn't make allowances. There is only one verdict, which is to behead his head as a public display. It's outrageous, I haven't seen a case handled like this since ancient times..."

"Isn't that right? Some people who are not guilty of death are also beheaded. If you say you kill them, you will kill them. But the nephew of the Li family will kill the three clans at every turn. This is a bit too cruel. Your Majesty, you really have to worry about it." Take care of it!"

"That's right, if this continues, how many people will be left on Henan Road?"

"Isn't it? It's a good thing that General Cheng shared the responsibility. Otherwise, if I asked Li's nephew to clean up like this, there wouldn't be many people left."

Li Shimin laughed and asked several officials in the crowd;
"Mr. Liu, please tell me how many household registrations have been added to the people on Henan Road in your household department recently?"

The household officials who were questioned didn’t want to respond directly;
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no need to go back and check on this. Every day, the horses come back to report. The minister did a simple calculation the day before yesterday. Not talking about men, women, old and young, just talking about heads. There have been 170 million more on Henan Road in the past two months. I estimate that after the end, there will be about 400 million more household registrations on Henan Road."

Li Shimin was very satisfied. He turned his head and looked at the dragon chair at the top of the main hall, and there was the sound of air-conditioning behind him. What is the most important thing in Xinchao?

Human head!Population is the most important thing. In the chaos of the last year of the great cause, the population dropped by more than half. Of course, it is important to restore the population. Without the people, the court still collects shit taxes?

"Li Dalang killed 6 to [-] people, you are surprised? Do you know how many Zhijie killed?"

"Your servant doesn't know?"

"Zhijie passed by along the way, and Li Dalang's disposal method was exactly the same, but he was not as ostentatious as Li Dalang. All the heads were disposed of, and all the corpses were buried. Zhijie encountered the most confrontation, and more than a dozen soldiers died, so Zhijie Jie's eyes are red, Du Aiqing, tell me how many people killed Zhijie?"

"It's Your Majesty. I want to report to Your Majesty. General Cheng already has almost [-] heads. I guess I will have enough heads when I finally come back."

"My goodness!"

"Is this too cruel?"

"Oh, it hasn't been like this for so many years..."

"Yeah, this is almost catching up with the loss of the First World War..."

"Let me tell you, brothers, you can't just listen to the dead. There are more than 100 million people who have been searched. The household registration of the household department is clearly written."

"That's right, there are a lot more in comparison."

"I reckon that not only in Henan Province, but also in other places, there will be many more. I am afraid that after this investigation, there will be more than a million more households."

"I see more than that."

A servant from the household department stroked his beard and looked up at the sky;

"During the five years of the great cause of the previous dynasty, there were 900 million registered households. Based on an average of five or six people per household, it also exceeded 4000 million, almost close to 5000 million.
But when I first came to power, there were only 180 million registered households. Even after ten years of war, the loss was only a million people, but the remaining 3000 million people disappeared!

Are these all killed in battle?Are they all starved to death? "

Li Shimin turned around and looked at a group of civil servants;
"Ai Qing is right. I have thought about this question countless times in my heart, so I agreed with Li Dalang's proposal. It is time for the temple to be investigated. Those people who disappeared are either hiding in Taoist temples or hiding in the temple.

I don’t want to hide it from you dears. According to calculations from the letters returned by the generals from all over the country, the imperial court has already had an extra population of more than 800 million people. Just imagine, dear dears, the number of household registrations has doubled in just a few months. What could be more delightful than this?
I guess that by the time the sixteen guards come back from the investigation, my people will reach a little over 500 million households. Although it is not as many as the 900 million households of the previous dynasty, I am very relieved. Li Da is right, the more people are killed, the more people will be killed. .

"I'm not afraid of your lover's complaints. Before I left, I specifically told the generals of the Sixteenth Guards that this investigation can be done freely and quickly, so this investigation is not mainly focused on temples."

After Li Shimin finished speaking triumphantly, looking at the dumbfounded civil servants, Fang Xuanling also answered with a smile;

"As of the day before yesterday, a total of 85 county magistrates had been beheaded by the generals of the sixteen guards. There were also 63 county magistrates and 98 chief ministers.

Involved with 35 government offices, 78 officials of the sixth rank, [-] other officials of the fifth rank, nine of the fifth rank, and the most shocking thing is that a local chief official of the fourth rank was killed!

All of these officials were guilty of capital crimes, and the evidence is clear. Fourteen of them were killed by the three clans because of their serious crimes, 23 officials were killed by the three clans, and the rest were ransacked and confiscated. The prison is overcrowded,
There are also a lot of people who need to be sent into exile. All the five surnames and Qiwang families have sinners of varying degrees who have been arrested. Even His Majesty's family, the Longxi Li family, has five, six, and seven families, and there are more than a dozen of these three families. Those who were beheaded for public display were, of course, arranged by His Majesty to go to the third house of the Li family in Longxi to investigate the officials of the Li family in Longxi. "

With the number of people Fang Xuanling moved out, these uninformed officials were stunned. This time the investigation was so thorough, it was extremely surprising. The north and south of the river were cleaned up. Du Ruhui waited for Fang Xuanling to finish speaking and concluded. sentence;
"This time, no one said that His Majesty took care of Mrs. Li. Five officials were beheaded and killed even in His Majesty's room. There was no mercy, no mercy!"

"That's right! This time I don't take sides with anyone. As my clan, the Li clan in Longxi didn't spare any official. The third house didn't serve in the imperial court, so I won't say anything more. As long as the other houses are officials , all of them were strictly checked by the elders of Shangsanfang. I heard that the elders of the clan directly mobilized more than 4 strong men to act.

This is an iron law since ancient times. The bad habits and filth that have accumulated since the previous dynasty just took advantage of this year to check it out. I am very happy. I have killed tens of 10 people. I didn’t expect there to be more One to two million households, I haven't slept well for several days, this is the only time I can't sleep because of happiness, the world is at peace, what I need is not corrupt officials, what I need is ministers who can govern the world,
What I need is a good official who is wholeheartedly for the people, an honest official, I will accept Li Dalang's proposal in the future, and the salaries of all officials will be added in the future,

In addition to food, money and silk must be added. I am not a fool, and I know the ways of the world. There are a lot of people eating in every family. I really understand.
So I decided to use this as an issue at tomorrow's court meeting. Officials of each rank should increase their salaries, at least three times as much as before. "

After Li Shimin said this domineeringly, he proudly looked at a group of officials around him with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty, triple the salary, where will the imperial court get these expenses?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are too many!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are really too many, and the pressure from the court is too great!"

Li Shimin shook his head fiercely, walked towards the highest position, talking all the way;
"When you are free, go and look at the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Look at the officials who were beheaded. You will know the number of their property. They set up tricks to make money outside of taxes. Which one didn't take it away? A hundred times more than a salary? A thousand times?
Today I can tell you all my loves. I have been discussing with the two servants and Wei Zheng for almost a month. The triple salary is just the beginning, not the end. It will gradually increase to five times in the future. Seven times or even nine times! "

"what?"

"My God!"

"My God!"

"Oh my God!"

Li Shimin looked at the exclamation of the officials below and laughed proudly;
"Hahahaha, dear dear ones, don't be surprised. What is this? I was trembling reading what Li Dalang wrote to me before he set off. When I saw ten times the salary, I couldn't even keep the notebook!
After thinking about it carefully all night, Li Da was right. If you feel sorry for this little money, more corrupt officials will be born. It is better to be generous and give them money and salary to support their families. Who has an excuse to mess around? "

"But Your Majesty, human beings are sinister and greedy. No matter how much money you give Your Majesty, some people still dare to mess around."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not easy to kill all the things in human nature."

"My minister agrees."

"My Majesty, people who are greedy by nature will not be satisfied with how much they give, and there are still a few who are not greedy. Those... oh... can only be blinded by the amount of money."

"It doesn't matter, I understand this too, so I also discussed this with Wei Zheng, the law has to be revised, I have nothing else but one, all violations of the law will be punished severely, and the country will be governed with severe punishment!
Especially when dealing with officials, exile and distribution are canceled. As long as you dare to be greedy, I don’t care about my reputation. I don’t care if future generations say that I am bloodthirsty. Those corrupt officials I will kill have nowhere to hide. , kill the world in a proper manner! "

Li Shimin became more and more excited as he talked, and finally stood up from the dragon chair;
"From now on, for all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the women in their family members will all serve as official prostitutes. Originally, I wanted to kill all the family members of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the world at once.
But looking back, it was too wasteful. Besides, God has the virtue of good life, so let them atone for the scandals done by your husband. These newly opened places do not need to pay taxes. The civil and military officials of the world..."

When Li Shimin said this, several old men were dizzy and unable to stand, some were supported by the people next to them, and some leaned on the pillars to breathe...

Everyone was thinking in their hearts that the idea of ​​asking the emperor to open a brothel must be a crooked way conceived by that damned Li Dalang. Let's just say, where did the emperor get money to support the extra expenses?

It turned out that the extra salary was paid for by the woman's money from the sale of meat. Li Da's ass should have been smashed to pieces... This... this is so fucking ridiculous!This is simply degrading...

Li Shimin can't see anything like a blind man, he just talks about himself;
"In this way, the living people can also see the good fate of corrupt officials. As for the males of corrupt officials, they will all be sent to the frontier.
Either farm the land, or join the army as a death squad, behead one of the enemy's heads, be released without charge, and return to the hometown to farm, or continue to serve in the army, behead two heads, become a first-class household, behead three , Start counting military merit!It is allowed to redeem a family member with military merits, and the head of every thief killed in the future can be exchanged for a female family member.
Ladies and gentlemen, you would never have imagined that just for the two or three hundred beheaded in the past few months, there are almost 1 women in the family, hahahahaha, the bells and drums of the fair lady, besides, it is still the same as before Lady?Men in the world will definitely flock to him, so I am not worried about the increased salary at all. I wish I could deal with more corrupt officials. I want to see how many people will dare to mess around and act recklessly in the future. "

Seeing the excited and incoherent speech of His Majesty above, many civil servants from Prince Qin's Mansion shook their heads, and finally an old man came to his senses and took a step forward;
"May I ask Your Majesty, how to close the gap between these two or three officials?"

"Du Pushe, can you tell me? I also rest!"

"It's Your Majesty."
