1705 Missing Silver Gathered in Beijing

The reason why Liu Hairui asked Tao Er to investigate the family backgrounds of the ministers is entirely because he trusts him, and Tao Er has been with him the longest time, so he will be more or less influenced by him, and when he does things, he is not anxious and very steady , will also have their own carefulness.

Sure enough, Tao Er didn't disappoint Liu Hairui, he took his people out and asked his subordinates to seal off the homes of the ministers and control everyone, while he went door-to-door to count the property.

It is said to be an inventory, but in fact it is similar to ransacking a house. People rummaged through it and dumped out all the valuables in the minister's house. The property cannot change too much. If you dare to transfer it out, it will be a capital offense, because you can corrupt a part if you transfer a part.

After checking all the people in the court, Tao Er returned to the harem. When he returned, the tiger had already returned.

When the two met, they smiled wryly and sighed. They didn't know if they didn't search or copy. After such a fuss, they fully understood that although these old guys couldn't be rich, they would definitely have no problem buying the two cities.

Especially people with higher age and higher positions are more greedy.

"Big worm, how are you doing?"

"Me? Forget it, guess what?"

"How about it?"

"There are more than 80 taels of silver alone, and that's not counting gold jewelry and some rare things."

Da Chong shook his head vigorously: "Just one Minister of the Household Department can support the entire war expenses. Tao Er, where are you?"

"See for yourself."

Tao Er handed him a list.

"So much? How did these old foxes get so much money? Is there anyone who is not greedy?"

The tiger took a brief look, and found that everyone's property was not directly proportional to their salary.

"Anyway, I can't find out who is innocent. I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back and report."

"Hurry up, don't keep the regent waiting."

The tiger waved his hand.

After reading the list, Liu Hairui didn't frown or get angry, but showed a relieved smile.

Tao Er was a little baffled on the side. Obviously, the silver in the treasury of the Celestial Dynasty was enriched by these people. Thanks to the abundance of the Celestial Dynasty, it has never been discovered, or it has never been rectified.

"The sum of the silver taels of these people is more than the silver taels in our previous treasury."

"A little more is better."

Liu Hairui narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "If one day I kill them all, then the silver in these people's hands is completely enough for me to rebuild the country."

"It turns out that the regent has already thought of a countermeasure, but today you have already told those people not to pursue their past."

"Not pursuing the past doesn't mean I won't pursue their future."

Liu Hairui still had a smile on his face: "If you want to kill them, there are many ways. These people have become addicted to greed. If you don't, it's uncomfortable."

"That's good, we can catch these guys all at once."

"If we have to do it little by little, we will only scare more people. It's not the time yet. The property of Shangshu Hubu alone is enough to pay the people and maintain our army."

Liu Hairui said confidently: "For the next period of time, we will have to select talents and appoint them. Only after Zhang Renfeng is eliminated can the country continue."

"Then, in this imperial examination, will someone take bribes and break the law? Should we supervise it?"

"Well, this is inevitable. Every time there are imperial examinations, many people will take advantage of the opportunity to get benefits, and even more people want to gain fame. This big exam is related to the future of the country, so it must be fair and just."

"Unless we send people to various places to supervise, the scientific examination every year is unfair."

Tao Er said: "If it really doesn't work, I'll do it myself."

"This king has already thought about it. In order to avoid unfairness as much as possible, I will send a few people I don't know to go to various places to supervise. The scientific examination will no longer be recommended by the local county magistrate, but we will recruit it ourselves, so that people with knowledge Anyone who is capable will come to participate, and then send a few rounds of patrol inspections. If anyone does not do well, the supervisors can be punished on the spot. Finally, once someone is elected in the township, our heavenly court can give them travel expenses, so that those who are capable People come to Beijing for the university exam."

"It sounds good, but I don't know if the common people will believe it. The imperial examinations in all dynasties have never been like this."

"So, recently drafted an oracle and announced it to the world."

Liu Hairui's eyes shone brightly, as if he saw the bustling scene where countless educated people gathered in the capital.

1706 is unknown, so wait and see

In Zhang Renfeng's barracks, Mr. Liu and Zhang Renfeng sat together after heisha. A simple dessert and a pot of tea were placed on the table.

Zhang Renfeng looked sad. He and Liu Hairui were at the critical period of confrontation between the two armies. He didn't train soldiers, and he didn't recruit troops. It's a bit counterintuitive.He is so sure that Jiangshan belongs to him?He dared to conduct imperial examinations, not to mention wasting money and time, so he really thought he was the overlord of the world.

"Grandpa, I haven't figured it out all this time. Why is Haichen conducting scientific research so much at this time? Is there something tricky here?"

"It stands to reason that this time is indeed not the best time for scientific research."

Heisha frowned and said: "He must have some kind of conspiracy. Could it be that he wants to attract us to fight at this time?"

"Probably not?"

Zhang Renfeng set his sights on Mr. Liu. The combined IQ of the two of them might not be as good as that of Mr. Liu.

"We can't think about Haichen with normal people's thinking. This person is not simple, his thinking jumps, and he really can't figure out what he wants to do for a while."

"Then what should we do? Are we going to send troops?"

When it comes to dispatching troops, Zhang Renfeng's body visibly trembled. There are not many generals in his hand. If there is any difference, he may really be unable to compete with Haichen. In addition, he still has to stay Part of the force is used to deal with the future Beastmaster.

Haichen and Beastmaster are both his serious problems and difficult characters to deal with.

"Sending troops rashly without understanding the situation will only be fooled."

Mr. Liu did not approve of Zhang Renfeng sending troops.

"But I still think it would be better to send troops at this time, because Haichen's scientific research is going on there, and we have no time to take care of our side."

Empress Heisha strongly supported Zhang Renfeng's sending troops, no matter who they win or lose, it will be good for him.

"Empress Heisha, why don't you send your hussar battalion to try?"

Zhang Renfeng said.

"My hussar battalion has endured so little, and they still stay by my side to protect me. Zhang Renfeng, you don't want to have any ideas about my hussar battalion, do you?"

"It's just that apart from your hussars battalion, there should be no one who is a match for Haichen's army."

"The two of you should stop arguing over this matter. You have to discuss things slowly. If you are too impulsive, no matter who goes there, you may fall into Haichen's trick."

Mr. Liu also wanted to conquer the Queen of Heisha, but it should not be at this time. For now, the best way is for them to work together to deal with Haichen.
