......

Over the next two months.

Just as Zhu Houzhao thought in his heart, the entire Zhengde Dynasty was set off in waves.

......

The first is the case of court officials colluding with wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

A large number of veterans in the civil official group were taken away by the East Factory, and for a while, the entire civil official group was almost leaderless.

Countless officials died denouncing Zhu Houzhao's cruelty.

But this is not important at all.

Because of Zhu Houzhao, he is not in the dynasty at all!

Just staying in the leopard room all day, these officials can only die in the air.

But the backlash that this incident sparked.

It was far more intense than Zhu Houzhao imagined.

Up and down the field.

Rumors about 'the emperor being cruel and cruel to the loyal ministers' have been heard endlessly.

Even in the streets, there are faint children's songs.

Secretly poking at the current emperor's arrogance is a great Ming arrogance!

No doubt.

To be able to trigger such a big reaction, it is definitely the gentry class that has begun to exert its strength.

"Fortunately, Xu is really cruel."

"Otherwise, I thought they were scolding."

Inside the leopard room.

Zhu Houzhao thought happily in his heart.

If those rumors outside had come out before he had taken control, I am afraid that he would still be afraid of three points.

After all, you have no right on your hands, but you will really be drowned!

But now Zhu Houzhao is in power.

The military and the government grasp both hands and are tough with both hands.

Those guys who spread the rumors below really have no other way than to spread this.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the four people in front of him.

Exactly the four of the cabinet.

In addition to the first assistant Zhang Xuan, the second assistant Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing.

And a newcomer.

And Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on the newcomer.

Not someone else.

The newly promoted cabinet elder - Yan Song!

That's right.

It was the Yan Ge elder who had served as the first assistant in the Jiajing Dynasty for twenty years and helped Jiajing not know how much silver he had.

However, at this time, Yan Song was still young.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao promoted Yan Song, this guy, up.

In fact, it is also fancy to his ability.

This person was a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Koji, and then served in the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.

It can be said.

In terms of competence, absolutely impeccable.

Besides.

There is another reason why Zhu Houzhao let Yan Song into the cabinet.

"When punishing Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites before, this Yan Song contributed a lot, and also provided a large amount of criminal evidence, so that the case of collusion with rich businessmen spread wildly in the Ministry of Rites, and even involved the Hanlin Academy..."

Zhu Hou glanced at Yan Song's figure, and his eyes became a little playful.

What is it?

This is a proper commitment!

Yan Song was like a hunting dog that smelled blood, and he couldn't wait to rush up.

Resolutely betrayed his gentry class and threw himself into the arms of Zhu Houzhao.

Capable + loyal

In that case, what else to say?

Zhu Houzhao is not a pedantic person, and he will not be used because of Yan Song's notoriety in later generations.

Regardless of black cats and white cats.

If you can catch mice, you are a good cat!

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Xuan stood up, his face full of joy.

The third pilot coastal open port has officially passed, and the first batch of treasure ships of my Daming has also entered the sea! "

"Today, the three pilot ports are very lively, and in just two months, the tariffs collected are as large as five million!"

"This is a grand occasion that has never been seen in the previous dynasty!"

Sea ban and tariffs.

This was the first task given to him by His Majesty, and it was also the first time he had carried it out since he became the first assistant.

Now it can be done successfully.

Naturally, it made him happy.

"The policy of commercial taxation has also been thoroughly implemented."

"Among the thirteen provinces, five southern provinces have already paid back commercial taxes, and the remaining eight provinces have fewer wealthy businessmen, so they are still being liquidated for the time being."

Yan Song stood up and said.

Although he is a new pavilion elder, he may be about the same age as Zhang Xuan, so he is also compatible with Zhang Xuan.

For the implementation of commercial tax policies, he also contributed a lot to them.

"Good."

After listening to the report of the two.

Zhu Houzhao nodded in approval.

Whether it is customs or raising commercial taxes.

For Daming, it is all about meritorious and beneficial in the future.

The boatmen of the first batch of Daming treasure ships leading to the Western Ocean were all personally screened by Zhu Houzhao, and each of them was a person who had familiarized himself with Zheng He's treasure map in a short time and had strong theoretical knowledge.

As for the increase in commercial taxes and public-private partnerships?

It is also the silver in the Daming treasury that has reached an unprecedented peak.

It can be said.

Even if you go to the treasury in the middle of the night, you will be illuminated by the silver inside!

"More than ninety-three hundred and twenty-three thousand taels!"

When he thought of this number, Zhu Houzhao was shocked.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang left Zhu Di 30 million taels of silver that year, so that Zhu Di had the capital to build a treasure ship fleet in the Western Ocean, and at the same time build the Yongle Grand Ceremony, and the Five Expeditions to Mobei.

And the silver reserves he now has are more than three times that of Zhu Di!

Almost accumulated most of the wealth of Daming!

What horror?

"Since you have so much silver, it's easy to do things next."

His heart was slightly excited.

Zhu Houzhao was very concerned about the matter of snatching the right to speak in the world from the gentry class.

After all, as a traverser, he can ignore many rumors.

But the rest of the Daming may not.

Therefore, the matter of winning the right to speak is inevitable.

However, as for how to dismantle the discourse power of the gentry class, he did not think about completely killing Confucianism.

Kongjiadian can't be defeated!

After all, it is not for nothing that Confucianism has been the mainstream among successive dynasties.

There is a lot of waste, but there is also a lot of good.

Zhu Houzhao wanted.

More is to slowly replace those scholars who spread Kong Meng and Cheng Zhu!

At that time, military power, political power, and public opinion will all be held in his hands.

The whole Daming.

It will reproduce the same as it was during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

The emperor's words are the weight of everything.

No one can resist!

I'm thinking about it.

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Zhu Houzhao's head.

【The chat cluster space has been unlocked, can I open the second assembly?】 】

"Unlocked?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Houzhao's face.

Three months is really fleeting.

"Turn on!"

Without hesitation, Zhu Houzhao said directly.

[The rally is about to start, do you want to invite new people?] 】
