Chapter 039: Beating Li Jinzhong

The boxes were carried into the Hall of Yangxin. Zhu Youchao was still very interested in chasing the house, especially the one who searched the house was Wang An's house.

"How much is these things worth in total?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the dazzling array of things in front of him and asked Li Jinzhong. Li Jinzhong shook his head and said, "I have to count them carefully, but the cash, cash, silver, and silver notes in Wang An's house are combined, and there are 80,000 taels in total."

"So much money?" Zhu Youxiao was shocked. Wang An, a rebellious boy, didn't actually take office for a long time, which was only half a year.

"Many of them should be embezzled from the treasury in the palace. Wang An also plundered a lot of silver from the imperial shop and the imperial village. There are other methods of scrapping outside the palace. It is normal for Wang An to have this money." Li Jinzhong explained.

"Come on, count it!" Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the results of this search. He found 80,000 taels of silver in cash. Wang An also had many antique calligraphy and paintings, pearls and jade, and many other things in his hand.

"Yes, my master, I will check it out now." Li Jinzhong quickly asked someone to carry the box down.

"It seems that house searching is a very prosperous activity!" Zhu Youxiao has already tasted the sweetness of house searching. This thing makes money too quickly and doesn't need to worry about it.

There are too many people who can be searched, such as the Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou who were traitors. These old rich men in Shanxi lived a relatively simple life. After making money, they kept hiding them in cellars and other places. If they were searched, they would definitely have a lot of money.

There are also Yangzhou salt merchants, many of whom have a net worth of millions of taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are everywhere.

Another one is maritime merchants. The wealth of these maritime merchants is truly amazing. The Spanish in South America flowed into China to cause inflation, and the first one to handle was these maritime merchants.

However, as an emperor, if they are crazy, they will be searched, and there will definitely be rebellion everywhere. So you still have to eat the rice bite at a time and don't be too hasty.

In addition to the ability of the East Factory to do this job, the Jinyiwei can also be engaged in it. Therefore, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, must take it down, so that Zhu Youxiao can control the Jinyiwei and rectify the Jinyiwei.

Not long after, a squad leader of the East Factory came to Zhu Youxiao to report to the news under Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, when the house was searching, I saw that the factory had hidden some silver notes privately, which was estimated to be more than 1,000 taels of silver." The head of the East Factory exposed Li Jinzhong's behavior to Zhu Youxiao.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao promoted the reporting system in the palace, and all the whistleblowers were rewarded. In addition, the punishment was strong, and a complete supervision system was formed. In addition, the welfare benefits of the in-house personnel were increased, and there were very few corruption in the palace. Although the Dongchang personnel were not eunuchs, they were also within this system.

"What's your name?" Zhu Youchao asked the East Factory leader.

"Return to the emperor, Xu Wensheng, the Wu division of the East Factory is in charge of the squad." Xu Wensheng replied that the East Factory is divided into twelve divisions, including Zi Chou Yin Mao, and is divided according to the twelve divisions. Under each division, there are twelve divisions (squad leader) and foreign divisions (members) and more compact structure than the Jinyiwei.

Except for the admiral who was a eunuch in the East Factory, the rest were transferred from the Jinyiwei. Therefore, the Jinyiwei and the Dongfa competed with each other. However, one was led by the Jinyiwei commander, and the other was led by the eunuch in the palace.

"Very good, I reward you with a thousand taels." Zhu Youxiao agreed with Xu Wensheng's exposure, and was not stingy in his actions, and directly rewarded 1 thousand taels.

"Thank you for the reward of the emperor." Xu Wensheng was overjoyed. He had just come to expose Li Jinzhong, but it was mainly because the emperor was always generous in the face of such an exposure.

"Okay, go back! Don't make a statement." Zhu Youxiao said to him.

"I obey the order." Xu Wensheng retreated.

Li Jinzhong began to be greedy for money, but he was not very brave, and he only greedy for more than a thousand taels of silver. But Zhu Youxiao still decided to beat him up.

Soon Li Jinzhong counted the search assets and dispose of the antique calligraphy and paintings, worth about 50,000 taels. So Zhu Youxiao called all the staff of the East Factory who participated in the search of the house.

There were more than 50 people participating in this operation.

Zhu Youxiao immediately asked someone to bring out a box of silver.

"This time, everyone is clean and I am very pleased with the criminal Wang An. So I decided that whenever I search the house in the future, I will take out one-tenth of cash to reward those who participated in the house search. But if I find anyone who dares to intercept the house privately when the house is raided, I will be punished all over the house. If you find someone privately hiding it, you can go to the palace to expose it, and I will give you an additional reward." Zhu Youxiao directly set the rules and took out one-tenth of the house to reward the house search personnel. Although the work is a bit big, it is still worth it. It is better than the one below who privately intercepted the house when the house is raided.

A group of Dongchang's "fanzi" were immediately happy and shouted that the emperor was wise. Then Zhu Youxiao distributed the money and each of them received 200 taels of silver. Regardless of the position, they were completely distributed equally.

This reward method can increase the supervision enthusiasm of low-level personnel in the East Factory. Once the seized assets are invaded by superiors, their interests will be harmed.

Anti-corruption is completely unreliable by relying on the morality and awareness of subordinates. The most important thing is to look at the two links of system and implementation. Zhu Youxiao has improved the system. Anyone in the system can "go to the heaven to listen" and report directly to the emperor, and then the emperor ordered it to execute it.

All the staff from the East Factory who received the money knelt on the ground and shouted: "I vow to die for the emperor."

Everyone got the money, but Li Jinzhong did not. When the people from the East Factory left, Zhu Youxiao called Li Jinzhong to him and asked him, "Do you know why I didn't give you money?"

"I, I..." Li Jinzhong began to sweat on his forehead, obviously not stupid. Looking at the emperor's expression and waiting for him to confess, Li Jinzhong regretted it even more. When he was searching the house, he couldn't stop his greed and took a thousand taels of silver notes. He didn't expect that the emperor would find out so soon.

Zhu Youxiao still didn't speak, and Li Jinzhong couldn't hold on anymore and knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao with a thud.

"I am guilty, and I am guilty. Please punish me." Li Jinzhong kept kowtowing, and Zhu Youxiao was quite satisfied. This guy obviously still had a sense of awe for the imperial power.

"What's the crime?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"When I was raiding my house, I took a thousand taels of silver." Li Jinzhong confessed, and quickly took out the silver notes. Zhu Youxiao took the silver notes and said, "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Jinzhong let go and stood up carefully. Zhu Youxiao handed the silver notes back and said, "You can take them with mere 1,000 taels of silver notes! It is the reward I will give you this time."

"I don't dare." Li Jinzhong quickly lowered his head.

"If you let me take it, I will take it. You are tired during this period of time, and I will see it." Zhu Youxiao really doesn't need to be serious about a thousand taels of silver and Li Jinzhong, but he still needs to beat him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Jinzhong hurriedly took the silver note.

"Do you know what corrupt people like Wang An look in my eyes?" Zhu Youchao asked Li Jinzhong, who bowed and said, "I don't know."

"In my eyes, they are like pigs. The pigs have not been slaughtered yet. Is it because they are not fat enough? Do you want to be such pigs?" Zhu Youchao asked Li Jinzhong.

"I, I don't want to." Li Jinzhong broke out in a cold sweat and said he was lucky, but fortunately he didn't really get caught in it.

"I don't want to do it, so I will give you some tips this time." Zhu Youxiao said to Li Jinzhong seriously: "Now my Ming Dynasty is internal and external troubles. If you are not careful, the country will be overthrown. You must know that adding icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to help you in time. If you can help me wholeheartedly and revitalize the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty is revitalized, I can not only let you be rich openly, but also let you shine in the family, even leave your name in history and be remembered by the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. Do you remember?"

"I remember your majesty's teachings." Li Jinzhong knelt on the ground and worshipped Zhu Youxiao in great devout moment. PS: The second update is here, asking for some recommendation votes, which is very important to the author. The book review area is still quite lively, and the brothers also gave a lot of suggestions. Thank you very much! There are also some weird and picky ones. The author wanted to explain patiently, but his account speech was limited, and he really felt that it took more time to explain, so he deleted it. Another thing is that many people have written about this topic, which is a bad one. The author dares to write about this topic.
