I have a chat group.

Chapter 120 Chongzhen's Changes

Gao Wenfeng: "@朱后照, of course I know what the Ming Dynasty, which opened the Age of Exploration, was like, because I have seen it. @朱见深, didn't the Great Navigation begin? Now in his world, the annual tax revenue is at least 800 million to 900 million taels of silver, and this is the tax revenue collected after a large number of tax cuts were made on farmers. How could I not know what the Ming Dynasty, which opened the Age of Exploration, was like?"

Zhu Jianshen was the first member to join the chat group, and when he joined the chat group, he had already controlled the entire Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty acted completely according to his will.

Therefore, Zhu Jianshen was a person who developed his own world early on, and the Ming Dynasty he ruled can now be said to be invincible.

Just like the invincible fleet of Spain in history, he can pull out three of them at any time.

That's why Zhu Houzhao said that the Ming Dynasty was invincible during the Age of Discovery. Because those three invincible fleets were enough to sweep the entire world.

Zhu Jianshen can form two more fleets like this at any time if he wants.

Of course, these two fleets are a combination of the previous three fleets. The Ming Dynasty never plays small things.

Zhu Youjian was also shocked at this time, because he heard the figure of '800 million or 900 million taels of silver'. If he had so much silver, he would have pacified the world long ago. Why would he need to unify the world bit by bit like he is now?
Zhu Youjian, "@Zhu Jianshen, ancestor, do you really have so much silver? Can you spend all the 800 million or 900 million taels of silver per year?"

Zhu Jianshen said, "I didn't collect silver. Precious metals like silver are of course stored in warehouses together with gold as paper currency deposits. They may be used. The so-called 800 million to 900 million taels of silver I collect every year refers to the taxes I collect, which can be exchanged for 800 million to 900 million taels of silver. And that is only this year's income. It may be even more next year."

Zhu Jianshen actually accelerated the time in his own world, and it accelerated for several years. During these years, he made his country extremely wealthy, and the whole world looked like the British Empire in the Victorian era.

Zhu Jianshen felt that if he accelerated for a while longer, he might be able to push his world to the state of the Republic of China. However, he was worried that if he accelerated for too long, he would be out of touch with the chat group like Ying Zheng. That's why he did not continue to accelerate, but stopped after accelerating to a certain extent.

But this is enough for him. At least it gives him a lot of capital during this period. The only bad thing is that he cannot purchase the annual comprehensive enhancement.

After all, the time in the chat group is the real time, and all the time must follow the chat group.

So when Zhu Jianshen found out that he couldn't strengthen himself, he returned to the chat group, and for this he lost a month's sign-in points.

Zhu Youjian, "800 million or 900 million taels of silver in tax revenue? That's really rich. When I searched my house, I only found over 30 million taels of silver. It's really nothing compared to yours."

Zhu Jianshen, "Of course there is no comparison. Your Ming Dynasty has lost its national credibility. Your Ming Dynasty has not won many foreign wars. It has not brought benefits to people. They will not support you. You are not like me. I have planted the flag of the Ming Dynasty with the sun and the moon all over Asia. Every household of my people has more than 100 acres of fertile land. Do you think they will support me? My food can make the world famine for two years without anyone starving to death. Can you do it?"

As one of the most important emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen's control over his empire is not comparable to that of Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youjian.

Although those two were emperors, their rights had been encroached upon by court officials, but Zhu Jianshen's rights had not been encroached upon at all, so their abilities were completely different.

Xing Yusen said, "Everyone, I am talking about my own affairs. You are talking about the Age of Discovery here. You can discuss this issue separately. I am in real trouble. You know that I am the head of the Six Gates. These matters are all related to me. You also know the location of Qixia Town. It is the only way for people from Guanzhong to enter Beijing. So this is directly on my head. What should I do?"

Xing Yusen has always believed that his world is a peaceful and funny world, and he has never thought that he would be involved in any major case. In his opinion, he just needs to stay in his own world, and has never thought about getting involved in anything dangerous.

But now the matter between Jin Jiuling and Luo Ma made him feel that he was in trouble.

These two people are in very bad shape. One is a world-famous embroidery thief who embroidered human eyeballs. The other one was involved in a big case of fake silver bills, a case that could cost the lives of an entire family.

Xing Yusen didn't want to get involved in these things, but whether he wanted to or not, they all happened within his jurisdiction.

Gao Wenfeng, "Those two people should not be your opponents. You can be an important character in your world and nothing will happen. Those cases will be handled by Lu Xiaofeng, so you don't have to worry about it."

Although Gao Wenfeng didn't know how the world of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was integrated with these worlds, he knew that nothing would happen to Xing Yusen, because his kung fu skills were already considered pretty good.

At least when facing the God of Thieves Ji Wuming, Xing Yusen faced the enemy head-on and defeated her fairly easily. If he hadn't been older, he could have become one of the Four Great Constables.

So Gao Wenfeng felt that nothing would happen to Xing Yusen.

Xing Yusen, "It's not a question of whether something will happen, but a question of whether I want to get involved in these things. You all know that I'm just a small civil servant. I'm already very satisfied with my current position as a senior constable. I don't want to get involved in other things, and Guo Juxia also promised me that he would not assign me any tasks. But this time the task still came down, and it came directly from the Ministry of Justice. What should I do? I don't want to take it at all. No matter what these people do, in the end they will deal with our own people from the Six Gates. If I deal with them, I will be in trouble. I will be in trouble inside and outside." If it were in the past, when Xing Yusen had just started working, he would have been eager to take these cases into his own hands, but now he doesn't want to do these things anymore.

Because these things seem good, but they will make him have a bad reputation among his colleagues, and he will also be involved in some troublesome things, which Xing Yusen does not like.

Xing Yusen is about to retire, and he wants to retire safely, so he doesn't want to offend his colleagues at this time.

Gao Wenfeng, "You don't have to deal with it. You just need to find Lu Xiaofeng. If that doesn't work, you can go find Guo Juxia and explain everything to him. As for what happened in the case, you can make up your own excuses. If that doesn't work, go to Jinyiwei. With your skills, if you join Jinyiwei, you should be able to get a good position."

Xing Yusen, "Jinyiwei? Can I join Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Houzhao said, "The Jinyiwei will recruit people from the underworld, but they prefer to recruit people from military households and other government departments. You are from the Six Gates, and you are a pretty strong guy. If you join the Jinyiwei, you should have a good position. Even if you have descendants, the position can be passed down to the family, at least a general flag or a centurion, there is no problem with this position."

Zhu Houzhao had some understanding of the Jinyiwei, the emperor's personal army, because these people were his personal soldiers. If he didn't understand them, he would be in trouble.

Zhu Youjian, "Jinyiwei? I haven't paid attention to them for a long time."

Zhu Youjian did not like the Jinyiwei because those people were not close to him but to the Ninth Prince. In addition, he had also read the History of Ming Dynasty and knew that Luo Yangxing became the first governor of the Qing Dynasty, so he was not so close to the Jinyiwei.

When the Jinyiwei heard this, their faces immediately turned ugly. In front of them, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong were reporting to him about the training matters of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Family Army. Suddenly, they saw Zhu Youjian's ugly face, and they didn't know what the reason was, so they all knelt on the ground, showing an attitude of admitting their guilt.

It's not that they were timid, but Zhu Youjian was too murderous. Zhu Youjian killed half of the Ming Dynasty's court, and he killed them all with reasons. Those who were killed either embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, or had connections with the Jian Nu, or were corrupt during the disaster relief. In short, when he killed people, he always had reasons and reasons.

Moreover, when Zhu Youjian killed people, he also made all the charges against them public. He did not hide anything and explained all the charges clearly. He also turned those beggars into lotus flowers and made the crimes of those corrupt officials public.

This let everyone know that none of the officials who were killed were good people. Even now, Zhu Youjian could just kill anyone he disliked. He had so much leverage over countless people. So even important officials of the court like Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzhong were frightened when they saw Zhu Youjian's ugly face!
"Why are you kneeling down? I just suddenly remembered something about the Jinyiwei. What's wrong with you? This has nothing to do with you. I also heard that the things you reported were very good. My Ming army will train according to Qi Jiguang's new book of Jixiao in the future, and all soldiers will be treated according to the standards of Qi's army! This matter will be handed over to Zhisheng. Since I trust you, I will let you do everything. I will not act casually. Before I take action against anyone, I will deal with Yuan Chonghuan. That's because Yuan Chonghuan used my capital as bait after discussing it with me. If he had discussed it with me, I would not punish him."

Chongzhen had a calm face. He had thought it through. Yuan Chonghuan really could not be killed. Not only because he was the father of the protagonist of this world, but more importantly, Yuan Chonghuan in this world was truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic. So he should be spared if possible.

Otherwise, with his suspicious personality, he would have chopped the man to pieces long ago!
Anyone who dares to use me and the capital as bait deserves to be cut into pieces!

But now that you want to use someone, you naturally have to act like I understand why you do this, and the reason I'm angry with you is because you didn't discuss it with me!

Of course, this kind of crime can just be intimidated and the person released. After all, the person cannot be really killed. If a loyal minister is killed, then the Ming Dynasty will really be doomed!
Even if he is just being loyal on the surface, he can't kill him!
Because everyone values ​​face, everyone will approve of something that can save face, so as long as they show enough loyalty for the sake of face, Chongzhen will not deal with them, unless of course they are too stupid.

For ministers in the court, loyalty or disloyalty is never a fault. The real fault is stupidity!
Good people will not be killed, bad people will not be killed, but stupid people will definitely be killed!
Chongzhen now understood all these things. He knew nothing about them before. He believed that as long as a person had a good reputation in the city and was a good person, he should be reused. But only now did he realize that there are no good people or bad people, only smart people and stupid people.

Smart people should be reused, but stupid people should be eliminated!

The imperial court will also eliminate those fools.

Chongzhen had never understood these things before, but now he understood them all. So, he learned from Jiajing and acted as if he did not show his emotions on his face.

Chongzhen finished reading the entire Ming Dynasty 1566, read the explanation of Ming Dynasty 1566, and studied all these methods. He felt that he was not talented enough, so he should learn from Jiajing.

Of course, his methods were still more cruel than Jiajing's. After all, Jiajing asked other people to kill people, and he had no convincing reasons. However, Chongzhen killed people by himself, and he also showed sufficient reasons for the killing, which no one could refute. Therefore, all the civil and military officials in the court were even more afraid of Chongzhen.

After all, even if everyone dies, they still need to have a good reputation, so no one wants to be in the hands of rebirth. Of course, they have also discovered that although Chongzhen killed many people, those people were competing with him for power and held him back.

As for those who did not hold Chongzhen back and helped him work, even if they embezzled money, Chongzhen would not punish them. He would even let them retire well. Of course, they had to hand over most of the property they had embezzled before retiring.
