".........Meng Zhi is granted the title of Duke of the State, the title of Duke of Wu, hereditary without interruption, a fief of 5,000 households, a Duke of Wu's mansion, 10,000 taels of gold, and 100,000 taels of silver."

".........Qian Lai, Yan Que, Jin Hu, Jin Bao, Zuo Tie, and Duke Ji are granted the title of third-class marquis, hereditary without change, and a fief of 1,000 households. This is the imperial decree."The hereditary titles end here. Although there are other titles, other generals in the army are not hereditary, but some are earls, viscounts and barons.

Among them, many were once the 3,000 personal soldiers of the Ming Palace.

Since Xiao Jingli ascended the throne, the 3,000 personal soldiers have all been sent out to become low-level and middle-level officers of the army in various places.

And they naturally participated in this battle.

Although many people died in the battle, those who survived were promoted.

Of course, Xiao Jingli also treated them specially. After all, these people were loyal to him. By placing them in various places, his control over the army would be stronger.

"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims........."

Next.

Xiao Jingli changed the positions of all officials in Jinling and replaced them with Yeqin's team.

Even Shen Zhui and Cai Quan were sent to the places that had just been conquered, and became local officials of each province.

It would be a pity not to send people like this out. They are loyal, capable, and upright.

As for the local officials of other provinces, they were basically promoted from the local officials of Yeqin. The local officials of states, counties, and other places are basically political students of Cangbing Valley.

I hope that the local officials of Daliang have not changed yet.

Xiao Jingli looked at Qin Yi below.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Qin Yi stood up and said

""Zhong Wang, what's the matter?"

Xiao Jingli asked

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial with evidence of crimes committed by local officials in Daliang and Ming Dynasty."

"These people, who embezzled military pay and disaster relief funds, deserve to die."

"I hope your majesty will deal with it!"

Qin Yi said loudly while holding up the memorial.

In an instant, the originally bustling hall suddenly became quiet.

"Snapped!"

"What?"

"Embezzling military pay and disaster relief funds?"

"What is military pay? It is the hard-earned money of the soldiers. Why did the Ming Dynasty unify the world? Isn't it because of the bravery and fighting skills of the Ming Dynasty soldiers?"

"Snapped!"

"This is undermining the foundation of the country!"

"What is disaster silver?"

"That is the life-saving money of ordinary people!"

"Don’t these officials know what it means that the people are like water and the country is like fish. If the water is gone, can the fish survive?"

"These people really deserve to die, no, their death is not a pity!"

"Prince Zhong, there is no need to look at it. I order you to lead the Jinyiwei to arrest all these people and execute their entire families. As for these officials, all of them will be executed by slow slicing!"

Xiao Jingli said angrily

"Obey your order!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"My Lords, can we move the military pay and disaster relief funds?"

"This amount of silver may seem like a lot, with one transaction amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels. But why don’t you think about this: this amount of silver is money for survival, money for buying lives!"

"Even touching this silver, how is this different from treason?"

"ah!"

"The draft training is to organize the future generations to find that anyone who embezzles military pay or disaster relief funds will have their homes confiscated and officials will be executed by slow slicing. All will be treated as treason!"

Xiao Jingli looked at the people below with sharp eyes and said

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Tell the world that if you can't do it, there are many people in the world who can do it."

"Why corruption?"[]

"Is it that the salary I give is not enough?"

"You are all adults now, so I won’t tell you some things. Just remember one thing: if you commit a crime, you will suffer a fate worse than death. Just don’t beg for mercy!"

"Royal relatives and nobles are no exception!"

Xiao Jingli's eyes were filled with more and more murderous intent

"We dare not do that!"

All the officials knelt down immediately.

"It's best not to dare. I won't give you a death-free gold medal."

"There is one more thing I wanted to do for a long time when I was a prince."

"That is measuring the world"

"Looking back at the past dynasty, the dignified Duke of Qing held a fief, opened a shop, held a farm, and held thousands of acres of fertile land. He was so rich and powerful, and he also annexed the people's food."

"Such a person should have left earlier. If it were now, I would feel wronged to execute him by slow slicing."

""Xiao Jingyan!"

Xiao Jingli shouted

"I am here!"

Prince Jing stood up

"You were the one who presided over the trial of Duke Qingguo. Then, I will also hand over the task of measuring the world to you. Wenyuan Pavilion, Jinyiwei, and the Ministry of Revenue will send people to assist you."

"I will give you an army of 100,000, which you can deploy at will. I will also give you a golden sword, which can kill the prince first and the mob later."

"All obstacles, whether they are from martial arts sects or noble families, will be slaughtered by me."

"Ma Su, Lin Shu, Qin Yi, you should send more people to assist. After measuring the world, prohibit the people from buying and selling good farmland privately. If they need to buy or sell, they must trade with the local government."

"If you can't afford to buy it, you can also rent good farmland from the government. You just need to pay a small rental fee and pay the normal taxes."

"In the future, the grain tax of the Ming Dynasty will be distributed according to the amount of land, and will no longer be calculated based on the number of people. The more land you have, the more tax you will pay."

"Taxes are the foundation of a country. If you can't do a good job, I can only separate the power of the Ministry of Revenue."

Xiao Jingli's eyes were sharp and his words were extremely cold.
