The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

And this is not even counting the aura of a superior that has now been completely integrated into Li Chenghan.

In addition, Li Chenghan's strength and agility have been greatly improved.

In addition, there is internal strength.

Although Li Chenghan is not yet able to release his internal strength, he can still use his internal strength to increase his body's defense, strength, and agility, and use his internal strength to heal internal injuries.

Look, Li Chenghan has hardly slept in the past three days.

But Li Chenghan's spirit is better than ever.

"Your Majesty!"

"Gold, silver, and banknotes found in Prince Yi Zhong's mansion are worth 12 million, 378,000 taels of silver!"

"Among them are various valuable items, such as jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, corals, valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings, brocade, silk, silk, porcelain, ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, soft armor dragon robes sewn with gold thread, colored glaze, etc., excluding the soft armor dragon robes, the total value of silver is as high as 5 million taels of silver.

In addition, there are fertile fields 1,300 hectares (130,000 mu)!

According to the investigation, Prince Yi Zhong also had connections with many ministers in the court, local garrisons, and local government.

In addition, Prince Yi Zhong also colluded with Jiangnan salt merchants. Every year, Prince Yi Zhong would earn a lot of money from the Jiangnan salt industry. "

After Wang Ziteng was summoned by Li Chenghan, he came to Li Chenghan's bed with a thick book and reported in detail to Li Chenghan who was sitting cross-legged.

"Good! Good!"

"My good uncle is really good!"

"Take out 7 million taels of silver and send them to the treasury together with various valuables.

Then take out 2 million taels of silver and send them to Prince Yi Zhong's mansion and Cao Shaoqin together with all the land deeds.

Tell Cao Shaoqin that I gave him silver and subsequent development funds.

Let him recruit people and train them as soon as possible."

"In addition, send the remaining 3 million taels of silver to the national treasury."

Listening to Wang Ziteng's report, Li Chenghan's face was as cold as frost.

He didn't expect that Prince Yi Zhong would be so greedy.

However, Li Chenghan also knew that this was not the time for him to get angry, so he immediately made arrangements for Wang Ziteng.

"As ordered!"

After Wang Ziteng received the order, he immediately responded.

However, after answering, Wang Ziteng did not get up and leave in a hurry.

Instead, he continued to flip through the account book and reported to Li Chenghan: "According to the silver notes, silver, and gold seized from the property of the deputy commander of the imperial army and the nine clans in Beijing, the total value is 2.36 million taels of silver, and various valuables are worth 200,000 taels.

In addition, there are more than 50,000 acres of fertile land."

"Some of them are from the relatives of the deputy commander of the imperial army. Relatives relied on the name of the deputy commander of the imperial army to bully the people and dominate the market."

Listening to Wang Ziteng's report, Li Chenghan's eyes moved.

Although the corruption of the deputy commander of the imperial army was far less than that of Prince Yi Zhong, many of them were taken by his relatives in his name.It was obtained by robbery.

But this also reflects a problem, that is, the administration of the Great Wu has been completely corrupted.

And without the property of Prince Yi Zhong, the property of this deputy commander of the imperial army is also quite large.

"All valuables and land deeds are put into the treasury, and the land is incorporated into the imperial farm.

As for the money, it will be used for the national mourning of the late emperor and my upcoming coronation ceremony."

Li Chenghan paused and made arrangements for Wang Ziteng.

"Your Majesty, 2.36 million taels for the national mourning and your Majesty's coronation may not be enough!"

Wang Ziteng reported to Li Chenghan hesitantly.

"Not enough? Then there are Prince Yi Zhong's cronies!

First, confiscate all the cronies in Beijing!

All their nine clans will be banished to slavery!"

Li Chenghan raised his eyes and said coldly to Wang Ziteng.

"As ordered!"

Wang Ziteng answered Li Chenghan without hesitation and left.

With Li Chenghan's order!

A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were transported to the palace, the treasury and Prince Yi Zhong's mansion.

At the same time, Cao Shaoqin, who had obtained money and 130,000 fertile fields as follow-up funds, also began various arrangements.

He ordered people to start recruiting people in secret, and then train spies.

At the same time, Cao Shaoqin also sent a large number of people to collect taxes based on the land deeds.

In addition, Wang Ziteng also began to lead the army to investigate and arrest Prince Yi Zhong's cronies in and outside the capital.

The city of Shenjing, which had not yet recovered its peace, began to panic again because of the actions of the court.

The people and various forces were discussing various major actions of the court.

Until the court announced the specific matters, Prince Yi Zhong's cronies, the many crimes he committed, and the dirty silver confiscated from his family to the public.

Shenjing City was in an uproar.

And this news spread out from the center of Shenjing City like a hurricane to the surrounding areas.

The nobles and officials were worried about the successive investigations.

Although they did not participate in the rebellion and were not Prince Yi Zhong's cronies, they were not clean.

The new emperor was so ruthless and resolute in dealing with Prince Yi Zhong and his cronies. He would exterminate nine clans of people at any time and demote nine clans to slavery. Who would not be afraid after hearing this?

Especially, the new emperor used to be mediocre and inconspicuous, but now he has become so ruthless and resolute after taking power, and his mind is clear.

Many of them even doubted whether the new emperor was in disguise before.

If it was a disguise, then how terrible must the new emperor's forbearance and scheming be!

Secondly, if the new emperor is not in disguise, but has become like this because of the death of the previous emperor, then this change is too big.

It's just like a different person, which makes people unable to see through and guess.

It's even more elusive, and such an emperor is the most worrying and frightening.

It is worth mentioning that none of the cronies of Prince Yi Zhong who were seized were good people.

More than 7 million taels of silver were seized from the cronies of Prince Yi Zhong in and near Shenjing City alone!

The land holdings were as high as nearly 100,000 mu.

For these, Li Chenghan directly returned the good land to the imperial farm.

Of the more than 7 million taels of silver, Li Chenghan gave 2 million to Cao Shaoqin, and 3 million and the previous 2 million taels as national mourning and his own enthronement expenses.

The remaining 2 million taels were directly sent to the northern border to fill part of the shortage of military pay at the northern border.

And the people were shocked and happy that so much stolen money and so many corrupt officials were seized.

They were shocked by the huge amount of money they had never heard of in their lives, and they dared not even think about it. Those officials and princes had embezzled so much.

And they were happy that so many corrupt officials were found out. Let's see if they will have the opportunity to embezzle and take bribes and oppress the people in the future.

Will the emperor continue to rectify the officialdom so that corrupt officials dare not oppress and bully the people?
