Film and TV series start from Siheyuan

"At least 100 million taels, or even more!"

Now that the emperor has so much money, the ones who can't sleep are the civil servants.

"We must get this money out of His Majesty's hands."

"Otherwise, something terrible will happen."

"If we have no other choice, we must follow the example of our ancestors and ask Your Majesty to take a boat again or take some elixirs!"

The remaining civil servants in the court, regardless of their faction.

They couldn't help but hold a small internal meeting.

Although most of the small meetings were hidden from the eyes and ears of the East Factory, there were always some that were discovered.

Wei Zhongxian also handed over the few records he had found to Emperor Tianqi.

After reading it, Tianqi smiled slightly.

He had long known the quality of his ministers and the low moral integrity of the civil servants! Now it was just confirmed.

"You want to send me away. Then it depends on who among us, the emperor and his subjects, will go first!"

Then he said to Wei Zhongxian, "Keep monitoring! If you find any crime, as long as there is evidence, investigate directly, arrest the person and confiscate his property."

"In our Ming Dynasty, we don't have much of anything else, but we never lack officials."

"We have dealt with the capital, but there are still a lot of cases in Nanzhili."

"Enough to keep you busy for a lifetime."

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's explanation.

Wei Zhongxian felt relieved and took his leave again.

No wonder Emperor Tianqi has such confidence.

In addition to the 520,000 new troops in training.

After more than a month of training, not only has his body become much healthier, but he can also use telekinesis to lift objects weighing 100 kilograms.

Ordinary daggers and other small things were almost as useful as his arms. For this purpose, he even learned from Chen Yu and had someone make hundreds of large steel needles for him.

Moreover, the telekinetic shield has been refined. It is because the telekinetic power is still in progress. Therefore, the defensive power is relatively limited. However, as time goes by, the telekinetic power increases, and the defensive ability will also increase.

Now, Emperor Tianqi counts on his fingers every day to calculate the moment when his telekinesis exceeds his weight.

To put it in Chen Yu's words.

“The dream of flying is universal among people, regardless of age or social status.”

At this time, Chen Yu also brought the first issue of the Ming Bimonthly News to the palace for Emperor Tianqi to read.

After introducing the functions of each page to Emperor Tianqi.

Finally, it was decided to start printing in batches now. The number was tentatively set at 30,000. They would be distributed in ten days.

The next morning, Emperor Tianqi announced the reform of the post station. For example, all civil and military officials, including royal family members and nobles, had to pay for using the post station according to the regulations. No one was exempted. If anyone dared to default on their payment, the Jinyiwei would come to collect it, and at that time, it would be more than just that much money.

At the same time, the post station provides the service of mailing letters and other items to the public, but the price is also regulated.

This time, the civil servants were not happy.

They are all the elites of this era.

Don’t underestimate these two reforms.

With a little calculation, they can find the huge profits.

I can’t say how much more it is, but a few hundred thousand taels every year is no problem.

Therefore, the civil officials, under the leadership of the cabinet, began to haggle with Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi also knew that this was all a struggle for interests.

No face was given to these cheating civil officials.

He said coldly: "So the post station is in your hands. Not only can it not earn a penny, but it also costs the court tens of thousands of taels every year."

"A few days ago, I assigned them to the Jinyiwei."

"Although some people objected, you were just biased against the Jinyiwei and opposed them out of habit."

"When I insisted, you retreated."

"Now, seeing the benefits of the reformed post station, they are flocking to it like flies."

"Do you still have the reserve of a Ming Dynasty official?"

"Isn't it a shame?"

But this time, the civil officials acted as if they had not heard anything.

Still insist on not compromising.

One great truth after another.

If not for the three major cases that caused the civil officials to suffer heavy losses and become afraid of Emperor Tianqi, they would have used their ultimate move and knelt in court.

In the end, Emperor Tianqi was forced to leave the court.

Even the news from the Ming Dynasty Semi-Monthly Report had to be postponed.

The next ten days were the ten days when the Jinyiwei would be dispatched again.

In just ten days, the Jinyiwei arrested more than a thousand so-called family members of officials who refused to pay their debts, beat up postmen, and smashed post stations.

Among them, only a dozen were real officials. The others were either juren or relatives of officials. The purpose of the Jinyiwei's large-scale deployment this time was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

This time, except for those who were too extreme and were thrown into jail, the others were all fined heavily.

The exact amount was unknown to the court, but it was said to be enough to pay the salaries of the postmen for several years.

The postmen were not only paid their salaries in full, but were also given several additional income items. They were all very excited. Now they not only had money to earn, but also became the outer guards of the Imperial Guard. Their status and income were completely different.

Active capabilities greatly increased.

Seeing the tangible benefits, the postmen began to recruit more people, and the number of people doubled or tripled.

Before the civil servants could regroup and fight for the post station.

The widespread distribution of the Ming bimonthly magazine once again caught them off guard.

Although, they still couldn't stop the emperor from canceling Liao Xiang's imperial decree during the morning court session, they flattered the emperor and praised him for being wise and caring for the people. Of course, a small number of them were also heartbroken for the missing tribute every year!

Those who took the biggest share were previously involved in the military pay case.

However, when they returned to the government office or home and got the first issue of the Ming Bimonthly.

All of them broke out in cold sweats.

The first issue of Daming Bimonthly. Not a single word of nonsense, full of useful information.

In addition to the front-page headline about the cancellation of Liao salary.

It is about the explanation of the three major cases mentioned above, as well as the reform of the post station.

Finally, there is news that the Enke will be held next year. Although the examination items of the Enke have changed slightly, which makes many older candidates unhappy, the number of admissions has been doubled.

But all the examinees cheered, completely drowning out the slight noise caused by the change of subjects.

It just increased the proportion of law and mathematics. The final eight-part essay became a discussion of current affairs and analysis of political precedents.

Anyway, there is still about half a year left. It is not too late to study hard.

"I can't do it, and neither can anyone else. Big brother, let's not talk about second brother, let's see who learns faster!"

And because there is more information about expanding the number of admissions for Jinshi and Tongjinshi.

The first issue of the Ming Bimonthly was supported by almost all the scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, several other more important pieces of news were also praised.

The scholars gathered together and unanimously cursed the corrupt officials and profiteers involved in the case, who dared to murder their wise and powerful Emperor Tianqi, and at the same time embezzled military funds and colluded with foreign enemies.

He really deserves to be killed!
