Wang Tiqian agreed and retreated, turned back before it was too late, and bowed to the emperor and said: "My lord, the confiscated money in the East Factory has been counted and has been transported to the inner treasury for safekeeping."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, with a smile on his face, and said to Wang Tiqian: "Wang Ban has done a good job on this job, and I will reward you very much."

In the capital, Xungui was the richest, followed by eunuchs and officials last.This is the impression Zhu Youxiao got from reading the materials of Li Zicheng's torture and looting in later generations.

This is indirectly proved by the property copied by Wang Tiqian who cleared the seals of Chaofu, the imperial supervisor, and Li Chaoqing, the imperial supervisor.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, these two eunuchs are old people in Wanli, and they don't know how many years they have been greedy.Zhu Youxiao felt that it was right to clear them away.

Besides, Zhu Youxiao was so short of money that his eyes were red. Giving Wang Ti the right to fight corruption is the same as releasing Uncle Wei.

Even with money and real estate, two or three million taels of silver came in, and you can buy a lot of thousand-pound cannons!
And the eunuchs in the palace are not the richest. Those eunuchs who are officials outside the palace, such as Li Shi, the admiral of Suhang Weaving, Gao He and others from the Nanjing Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, have been stared at by the shameless emperor who wants money. on.

The Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, the Nanjing Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, as well as the Shenbo Hall and the Liujing Supply Machine Room were all imperial merchants who weaved or supplied silk fabrics needed by the court.

The local government bureaus belong to state-owned enterprises, and they are divided into 22 weaving and dyeing bureaus in eight provinces and prefectures including Zhejiang and Nanzhili. They adopt the form of bureau weaving and concentrate production.

Zhu Youxiao has asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to re-establish the rules and regulations to revitalize these state-owned enterprises, aiming at profit, and can also accommodate more idle people who have lost their land.

State-owned enterprises should play a leading role.Those good machines, good equipment, good labor, coupled with scientific and intensive management, can't produce good products?Can you still make money?
Hearing that the emperor had a reward, Wang Tiqian knelt down, kowtowed humbly and said: "The servants are doing business for the emperor, as long as the emperor is happy, I absolutely dare not ask for a reward."

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, and his tone became more friendly, "Get up, companion Wang, I still don't know your loyalty. However, it is also my principle to distinguish rewards and punishments, so you don't have to be modest."

"My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness." Wang Tiqian kowtowed, stood up and bowed.

Staying by the emperor's side all day long, how could Wang Tiqian fail to understand the emperor's temperament.

If you do a good job, you can't do without rewards; if you fail, it's just a punishment.

But the emperor hates corruption the most, no matter whether it is a hundred officials or internal officials, this taboo must not be violated.It's not worth losing your life for some money.

Nursing homes on the outskirts of the city have been built and put into use, and a batch of old eunuchs in the palace have been sent to live well.

The Emperor's Courtyard also lived in a lot of repatriated maids, and sent paperwork to the government according to the address of their homes, asking their families to claim them.

If it takes too long to find family members, the Foreign Weaving and Dyeing Bureau in Beijing will send people to teach the skills, learn a skill, and then look for opportunities to live in the folk or marry.

This is all the grace of the emperor, and it is also to tell the other palace people that the problem of providing for the elderly has been solved for you, and don't blame the emperor for being ruthless if you give grace and corruption.

Uncle Wei does his job well, the emperor rewarded the house, and gave him a third class; Wang Tiqian was determined to stay by the emperor's side all day, but he couldn't overwhelm you?
Zhu Youxiao can probably guess some of Wang Tiqian's thoughts, and he is happy to do so.There is competition to be motivated, and Uncle Wei and Wang Tigan are competing to do good errands, which also makes him feel at ease.

After taking the memorabilia of Li Qiyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while after reading it, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly, feeling that he should not be so hasty and hasty.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was quite common for local governments to default on taxes, money and food, especially in Jiangnan.

At that time, it was said that "when a Qingjin sent his family, he would never be a county magistrate for half of his life. To the genus of Jiake Xiaolian, the people who were full were even more unbearable. a few millions".

Generally speaking, ordinary people seldom resist paying taxes, and there are some who really have no money to pay, mainly in the northern regions where natural disasters are frequent.

However, in the wealthy Jiangnan, there are government officials demanding, and ordinary people will not have the guts to default on paying taxes to the court.

Those who do this kind of behavior are all rich, landed, and famous gentry landlords, and not all of them refuse to pay, but most of them will fabricate reasons and evade taxes by half-paying and half-arrears.

Because the gentry held the power of public opinion and discourse in the local area, and many gentry had current officials in their families, local officials and officials who called for tax payment generally did not dare to resort to violence and could only let it go.

However, the imperial court also stipulated that local officials must use other methods to supplement.

For example, cleverly set up a name to squeeze ordinary people, and some businessmen with no background, or they said that the harvest was not good due to a disaster, and they asked the court to reduce or exempt them, etc.

The result of a group of people working together is that from the gentry to the local government, a tacit understanding has been formed in concealment, so that most of the taxes payable have become figures on paper.

But arrears are not a solution after all, and the IOUs will have to be paid back sooner or later.Aren't these gentry and officials afraid, just thinking that they can default for such a long time?

Of course not, they have their solution, which is to wait for the court's amnesty or relief.

For example, the emperor ascended the throne, got married, gave birth to a child, etc., or the army won a big victory, or there was a natural disaster in the locality.The imperial court usually either amnesty or exempts local taxes.

In this way, if you have been in arrears for several years or more than ten years, you can always catch up with the wave, right?

Whether it is tax reduction or exemption for one year or several years, part of the arrears of the gentry can be legally exempted, or even colluded with the government to clear it all at once.

In order to achieve this goal, gentry groups will even take the initiative to create reasons for amnesty, such as making auspicious appearances, falsely reporting local disasters, colluding with bandits to create turmoil, and so on.

That's right, the Jiangnan gentry has become an interest group, disregarding the interests of the country and only caring about filling their own pockets.

What is owed always has to be repaid. The tricks of these Jiangnan gentry have been retribution in history, that is, the cancellation case set off in the early Qing Dynasty.

In front of the handle of the knife, the Jiangnan gentry swept the floor, and finally understood that the new master spoke with his fists, and there was a mockery of "a flower is not worth a penny".

Now Zhu Youxiao can do the same, but a turmoil is inevitable.It was not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty for the gentry to incite the common people to go on strike.

Of course, the current Ming Dynasty is sure to be able to suppress the turmoil, but this is not in line with Zhu Youxiao's plan to achieve many goals this year.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao thought about it again and again, and decided to let it go for the time being.If the local government is not trustworthy, they will replace it with capable ones, and then use the factory guards to conduct reconnaissance, obtain sufficient evidence, and determine the precise target of the attack.

Or, you can also change a method to strive for the greatest victory at the least cost.
