Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

When everyone came to the execution ground, the four Dolgon knelt in the middle, and the four executioners stood beside them, sharpening their knives, and the people were all around, looking at these four Jiannu, all of them had angry looks in their eyes, and their mouths were shouting and cursing.

Originally, when the four of them paraded through the streets, they had already been thrown away with filth, and even worse, they were smashed with stones, so that the four of them were already scarred and not human.

"Feng Ying, you just go and preside, after the heads of the four people are cut off, they will be cast into Jingguan, indicating their identities and official positions, these four identities are not low.

Zhu Cihong and the others came to a restaurant, sat by the window, and looked at the execution ground below.

"Yes.

Feng Ying walked down.

Sun Chengzong sat on the side, looking at the four Dolgon below, and sighed in his heart, the Qing army entered the customs three times in front, and the defenders everywhere were vulnerable, and they were afraid to face the battle, so the Qing army was like no one in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but this time, I didn't expect His Highness to be so brave.

Below, Feng Ying came to the high platform, announced the various evil deeds of the Qing army, and said the identities of the four Dolgon, and the onlookers shouted loudly, most of them scolded Jiannu.

"Beheading!" After

Feng Ying announced everything, he directly ordered the beheading.

"Good!

" "Good killing!

" "This group of beasts should be cut by a thousand knives, it's too cheap for them to behead them like this!"

There was another cheer below, and he was not afraid of the bloody scene of beheading at all, but he also applauded loudly and enthusiastically.

As the executioner's broadsword fell, the four heads fell to the ground with a sound, and blood splattered all over the ground, and the bloody stimulation not only did not make the onlookers afraid, but made them even more excited.

The whole street was surrounded by water, and I couldn't see the end at a glance, and I heard that the big officials who had built slaves were arrested, and they all rushed over to watch the play if they wanted to cut off their heads, which caused congestion all of a sudden, and some people from the north of the city who were far away from here rushed over, and the heads fell to the ground, and there was a sigh, which was too slow.

It can be seen how hateful Jiannu is in everyone's hearts.

"Ding~ Execute the enemy's main general and get the platinum gift package!" Just

when the heads of the four of Dolgon landed, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Cihong's mind, which made him a little excited in his heart, he hadn't received the gift package for a long time, and the receipt of tens of millions of silver failed to make him excited.

"Okay, the palace will go back to the palace first, and the cabinet will discuss politics tomorrow, and then other things will be dealt with tomorrow.

Zhu Cihong stood up and turned around and went down the restaurant.

"Respectfully send off Your Highness.

Sun Chengzong immediately stood up.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Cihong immediately returned to the palace, ordered no one to disturb, and then prepared to open the gift bag.

"Open the package. "

Ding~ The platinum gift package is being opened

!" "Ding~ Congratulations on getting a thousand elite sailors, cloning the sailor general Liu Renliang!" "

It's just the right time to come, and I'm worried about the lack of sailor talents."

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up when he heard that it was the elite of the sailors, and Liu Renliang also heard a little, recording that he had never lost a naval battle with the Japanese State, and every time he almost completely annihilated the Japanese navy, and the Japanese did not dare to set foot in the Central Plains for 800 years.

It was only in the Ming Dynasty that he dared to invade the Central Plains again, but he was repelled by Qi Jiguang, and after that, the little devil recuperated until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and then he invaded again, but this time, the Qing Dynasty ...... It's all anger when you talk too much.

Zhu Cihong couldn't wait to find a spacious place where no one was there and released the sailor and Liu Renliang.

"Ding~ In the release, once released, it can't be recovered!" After

the cold voice of the system finished speaking, the wind and clouds surged around, and a white mist appeared out of thin air in the clearing in front of him, so that Zhu Cihong could not see anything in the white fog clearly.

After a while, a white light flashed, the white mist receded, and a thousand elite soldiers stood in the square in unison, led by men in their early thirties wearing black armor, tall and mighty.

"Subordinate Liu Renliang led a thousand elite sailors, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Liu

Renliang

stepped forward, came to Zhu Cihong and knelt down on one knee, shouting loudly, and then the thousand people behind him also knelt on one knee in unison, making bursts of sound.

"Get up.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Renliang up, and then smiled at everyone, this elite of a thousand sailors is much more expensive than the elite of infantry, and the navy is very important to the Ming Dynasty, there are many sea areas, but unfortunately the Ming Sailors have long existed in name only at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After arranging Liu Renliang and others, Zhu Cihong planned to let him go to Shandong tomorrow to train sailors and reorganize the Ming sailors.

Night.

East Palace.

In the hall, more than a dozen long tables are placed, on which are full of account books, hundreds of eunuchs are holding abacus at the moment to quickly make abacus, a group of people are making abacus, a group of people are verifying the account books, and then a group of people count the silver in the box and weigh it.

The entire East Palace is the voice of the plan, these eunuchs are carefully selected and trained by Qiu Zhizhong, who specialize in settling accounts and auditing account books.

At this moment, they were calculating the revenue and expenses of the Longmen Chamber of Commerce for a year, counting the amount and weight of the silver sent by the Longmen Chamber of Commerce, and accounting for these books.

The sky was slowly dark, the last bit of white belly disappeared, dozens of stoves in the hall were driving away the cold inside, Zhu Cihong sat while drinking white porridge, and looked at the account books that Qiu Zhizhong went to the household department to get over, the account books about the population of the Ming Dynasty

, the salt introduction, and the salt administration! He had to figure out the expenditure of the salt and the corresponding profits, so that he could know how much salt tax those salt merchants and local officials took away every year.

"10,000

taels packed!" "10,000 taels packed!" "100,000 taels

counted!"

Three hours later.

The accounts of the Longmen Chamber of Commerce are finally settled.

"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with the account of the Longmen Chamber of Commerce, and there is nothing wrong with 11.5 million taels of silver, and the production, expenditure, and sale of goods are all correct.

Qiu Zhizhong came to Zhu Cihong with a general ledger, whispered, then put down the ledger, and said: "Now the East Palace has 91.6 million taels of silver, 2.1 million taels of gold, and 200,000 stones. "

Hehe, these profiteers are still rich, and these eight families and nine clans in Shanxi really make him a wave of fat.

Zhu Cihong took the account book and opened it, and immediately smiled, thinking that those salt merchants in Jiangnan are estimated to be not too thin, and they should be very fat.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour and then continue.

Zhu Cihong commanded, then leaned his head back, closed his eyes, and thought about how to serve the private salt in the south of the Yangtze River, the best should be fishing law enforcement, but it still needs to wait, first quietly, let those salt merchants feel that the court doesn't seem to have noticed anything, and they don't plan to care, as always.

Only in this way will those officials and businessmen let down their vigilance.

"The salt tax in the year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty is only one million!" Zhu

Cihong opened his eyes, picked up the salt tax book and looked at it, and felt that it was outrageous.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two groups of people who could not collect taxes, one was the gentry group and the other was the merchant group, but these two groups of people colluded with the officialdom, deceived the superiors and subordinates, did not pay taxes, and embezzled!

As a result, a large number of fields, population, and industries were all hung in the names of these gentry, and the merchants had low commercial taxes, and they also bribed officials to evade taxes

In addition to these problems, there are three strata, which are the moths of the Ming Dynasty, which have eaten away at the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and when it came to the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty finally couldn't bear it.

First, it is a princely and aristocratic group with hereditary titles

! Second, it is a power group represented by the bureaucratic

system! Third, it is a gentry group represented by the Enke system!

All of the above are the same problem, non-payment of taxes, corruption, cover-up, collusion between officials and businessmen to smuggle and evade taxes, and land annexation.

Zhu Cihong didn't have time to take care of these now, and before the thieves were eliminated, it was not easy to put these people in one pot, that is, the matter of private salt, which seriously damaged his huge interests, so he had to do it in advance.

Let these groups run rampant for a while, and then when he completely frees his hands, it will be time to raise the butcher's knife against these groups!
