Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"I have been under the rule of Shuntian Mansion these days. I want to recruit a group of honest and brave people from the Liao people who were previously settled by the imperial court."

Fang Zhenghua reported truthfully: "After several days of recruitment, a total of nearly two thousand brave people passed the examination, and the number of these brave family members exceeded five thousand..."

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he knew Fang Zhenghua's way of doing things. Based on the principle of being practical and reliable, he first recruited a group of brave people from the Liao people who had been settled by the imperial court to lay a solid foundation for the Four Guards Camp and the Warrior Camp. .

In this way, you can conduct training and recruitment at the same time. During this period, if you dare to slack off, you can directly eliminate the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion, and you can also make up the difference in time.

This is indeed the safest way.

"...It's just that when these brave family members were resettled, there were cases of encroachment and occupation of the Huangzhuang fields in Xishan, Yuhe, Wanping, Daxing and other suburbs of Beijing."

Fang Zhenghua's heart beat faster and he lowered his head and continued: "After I learned about this, I ordered my subordinates to conduct a secret investigation. However, the situation found was completely different from that of the inner court. Many eunuchs and stewards in the suburbs of Beijing Wait, how dare you use the name of the inner court to invade official land, seize private land, bully the market, open coal mines privately, make loan sharks, etc."

"Only those imperial estates on the outskirts of Beijing have at least thousands of acres of farmland occupied. After I learned about this situation, I didn't dare to hesitate at all, thinking..."

As he spoke, Fang Zhenghua could not speak.

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion changed.

Although Fang Zhenghua lowered his head, he could clearly feel his emperor's anger!

"Is what you are telling the truth true?"

Zhu Youxiao restrained his anger and stared at Fang Zhenghuadao, who was standing with his head bowed.

"Everything my slave said is true!"

Fang Zhenghua knelt down on the ground, bowed and said, "It's just that I haven't found out how much personal profit the eunuchs and stewards in charge of the village in the suburbs of Beijing have made from them. After all..."

"Then take the people from the West Police Factory and check it out for me!"

Zhu Youxiao snapped the case and said angrily: "Okay, it really opened my eyes. I thought that the things I checked earlier were all the inner court, but I didn't expect that this big head was still hiding behind! Even Huangzhuang dared to invade , It’s simply lawless!!”

The main sources of internal funds are: one is Zhese Yin, the other is pasture, the other is Huangzhuang Zili Yin, and the other is Huangdian. The above is the bulk of internal funds.

In addition to these incomes, there are also miscellaneous incomes, but the money obtained is very little.

When he first ordered a thorough investigation of the Royal Horse Supervisor, Zhu Youxiao had some doubts. Corruption in the Huangzhuang Huangdian under the jurisdiction of the inner court was probably very serious.

After all, compared with the grassland and pasture under the jurisdiction of Yuma Prison, compared with Huangzhuang Huangdian, the two are not on the same level at all!

"Check for me all the imperial mansions in Shuntian Prefecture, don't just limit yourself to the few imperial mansions in the suburbs of Beijing!"

Zhu Youxiao, who was getting angrier as he thought about it, said with sharp eyes: "The imperial palaces under the jurisdiction of the inner court are spread all over the counties of Northern Zhili. If half of the imperial palaces in Shuntian Prefecture dare to rot, then the other places will be even worse!"

"The investigated eunuchs and stewards, no matter who they are, will be arrested by me as long as they occupy the Huangzhuang's land, act arrogantly in the local area, and violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty!!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Fang Zhenghua immediately bowed and responded.

The imperial estates under the jurisdiction of the inner court were not only located in the suburbs of Beijing, but also not only in Shuntian Prefecture, but also in all prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Beizhili. They occupied extremely huge acres of land.

Huangzhuang first appeared in the Yongle Dynasty and was also called "Gongzhuang". The most famous one is Renshou Guanzhuang. During the Xuande dynasty, Qingning and Weiyang palaces were built one after another. The above-mentioned palaces and villas cover a wide area and are contiguous stretches of fertile land, and all the products produced are used as internal funds.

Afterwards, through the Tianshun, Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing periods, the scale of the imperial palaces under the imperial court gradually expanded and spread throughout the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili. How big was the scale when it was passed to the Tianqi Dynasty? Even Zhu Youxiao doesn't know it yet, but what Zhu Youxiao knows is that during the period of Emperor Zhengde, the number of imperial villages increased dramatically to more than 300, covering an area of ​​37595 hectares, which was 1/7 of the total land owned by officials and civilians in the eight prefectures of the capital.

This is not a small amount!

Sucks.

It really sucks.

Looking at Fang Zhenghua's hurried away figure, Zhu Youxiao couldn't suppress his anger no matter what. He had always wanted to hold the gun and the money bag, and he had always done so.

But now the money bag, the money bag, is constantly being eaten by the rat scum around us. As batches of armies are raised, the demand for money and food will surely increase exponentially in the future.

If you can't even meet the money and food needed to support the army, let alone lead the army to conquer the army personally, or go to suppress the rebellion of the rebels, it is uncertain whether you can train the army.

"We still have to kill!!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes became sharp: "No matter who is involved, as long as they dare to touch the bottom line, they must be killed!"

This long-established corrupt trend cannot be curbed by anything other than simple and crude killings and continuous killings.

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about this, Fang Zhenghua, who left the Qianqing Palace, hurried all the way to the West Police Factory. A thorough investigation of the Huangzhuang was not a trivial matter and had to be arranged.

If the Huangzhuang in Shuntian Prefecture is thoroughly investigated and many scandals are found, then the Huangzhuang in other counties in Northern Zhili will inevitably be investigated.

"Manufacturer."

"Manufacturer."

The eunuchs in charge who were waiting in the West Jishi Factory had been waiting for an unknown amount of time. When they saw their factory boss coming back in a hurry, they all got up and gathered together.

"The emperor was furious when he found out about the imperial village in the suburbs of Beijing."

Looking at the people in front of him, Fang Zheng turned his sword eyebrows and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty has issued an order to go to the West Police Factory to conduct a thorough investigation of the Shuntian Mansion Realm Imperial Mansion."

"Isn't it the Imperial Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing?"

Li Fengxiang was shocked when he heard this and looked at Fang Zhenghua in surprise: "Why..."

"First check the Imperial Mansion in Shuntian Mansion Realm."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Fang Zhenghua explained clearly: "If there are many problems found, then we will investigate Huangzhuang in other counties in Northern Zhili."

"!!!"

Now Li Fengxiang, Gao Shiming and others were all surprised in their hearts, something was going to go wrong.

"Mr. Factory, I'm afraid this won't be easy to investigate."

Gao Shiming retreated a little, "The imperial palace under the jurisdiction of the inner court is very complex, and many of the eunuchs and stewards assigned outside have very complicated relationships with the palace. If nothing else, as far as our family knows, in recent times, In recent years, Li Yongzhen, the eunuch who serves as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has sent many people out."

Gao Shiming did not dare to mention Wei Zhongxian's relationship with Wang Ti, but specifically mentioned Li Yongzhen, who was very close to Wei Zhongxian.

"Yes, Mr. Factory."

Zhang Guoyuan followed closely and said: "And the most troublesome thing is that there are some eunuchs or stewards sent by the masters of the harem. What if..."

"What? Are you scared?"

After hearing this, Fang Zhenghua looked at the people in front of him and interrupted coldly: "To tell you the truth, from the moment we entered the Xiji Bureau, apart from being absolutely loyal to the emperor, we have nothing else. It’s not something we slaves have to consider anymore.”

"Xijishuchang is a sword. It is the sword that the emperor uses to kill demons and demons. But you must remember, don't think that the only knife that the emperor can use is our Xijishichang."

"If anyone dares not do it, please bring it up now, and we will go to the Emperor to transfer him/her out of the West Police Factory. This way we don't have to look forward and backward."

Now, none of the eunuchs in power in the West Jishi Factory who were initially hesitant did not dare to hesitate anymore. Now that the talk has come to this, is there any way out for them?

Their status and power in the inner court could be greatly improved, didn't they rely on running errands in the Xiji Affairs Factory?

If they leave the West Police Factory, they will be nothing!

"During the thorough investigation of the Imperial Mansion in Shuntian Prefecture, the recruitment of the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion cannot stop."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Zhenghua directly ordered: "In addition, the Xi Jiji Factory has to recruit and select factory officers in Beijing, so our family will be stationed in the capital, and you will each lead a factory team to help our family everywhere. Go and investigate strictly and remember it all for our family. If something goes wrong, our family will take care of it. But who dares to fool us and let our family know about it? Then don’t blame our family for being ruthless!"

"Here!"

Everyone immediately bowed in response.

Compared with when he first took charge of the Xiji Service Factory, Fang Zhenghua no longer did things personally, but distributed errands. This change was very important. After all, the Xiji Service Factory had many things to do. As the admiral of the Xiji Service Factory, he With the existence of a police factory, how could it be possible to do everything by oneself!

If Xi Jiji Factory wants to be independent, it must have more talents. Now Fang Zhenghua has understood this truth. He will now promote a group of malleable talents, and the criteria for promotion are also very simple. When doing things in daily life, who is doing their best and who is fooling around?
