    However, Zhu Youxiao did not say anything more to the British public. Instead, he turned to Wang An and said: "Liu Qi has 5,000 acres of fertile land. These are all converted into imperial estates. The land rent is set at 30%, but the land tax and  The head tax will be paid by the village. I think all the tenants of the village will agree to such conditions. Besides, I feel sorry for disturbing everyone tonight, so I will give each family five taels of silver to calm their shock!"

    Wang An was just about to accept the errand, but felt something was wrong, and quickly said to Zhu Youxiao: "Master, since it has been turned into an imperial village, where is the land tax and so on?"

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong. The sage has said that the whole world is not the royal land. Doesn't the whole world need to pay taxes? The output of Huangzhuang is only for the expenses of the palace. It is the royal private property. Taxation  This is a major plan of the country, related to the survival of the country. How can there be a dispute between private property and national utensils? With this matter, you can go to Shuntian Mansion and report all the property in the imperial village. From now on, the spring and autumn taxes will be paid on time!"

    Wang An didn't know what Zhu Youxiao was up to, but based on his understanding of Zhu Youxiao these days, this little emperor was not simple in his words and deeds. He didn't know when he would dig holes for others.  I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions this time, so Wang An responded and asked no more questions!

    However, Wang An suddenly saw a group of officials kneeling on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Master, the officials of Shuntian Mansion are all kneeling here! Where can you tell me to report!"

    Zhu Youxiao slapped his head and said: "I have forgotten this problem, but it is not impossible to keep everyone in Shuntian Mansion. There must be a few innocent people, right?"

    Luo Sigong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "To reply to Your Majesty, I have already checked on the list. There are still three people in Shuntian Mansion who are not included in Liu Qi's report. The rest have more or less received Liu Qi's money and benefits!"

    Zhu Youxiao said with a wry smile: "Then bring those three up and let me have a look!"

    Luo Sigong quickly brought three officials. When Zhu Youxiao saw them, they were all green-robed junior officials of the eighth or ninth grade. Two of them were old men in their fifties. It looked like they had spent their entire lives pursuing a career.  Characters, Zhu Youxiao could see the sleekness in them at a glance!

    However, there is still a young official in his thirties. This man has a majestic appearance and piercing eyes. Although he kneels in front of Zhu Youxiao, he does not feel nervous or cramped at all, and Zhu Youxiao feels that in this person  There was a sense of righteousness, which made Zhu Youxiao pay unusual attention to this person!

    "What's your name?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the man and asked in a deep voice!

    "Wei Chen Wu Bingrui from the Bingzi Treasury of Shuntian Prefecture is here to see your Majesty!" When the man saw Zhu Youxiao asking him, he immediately kowtowed and answered in a loud, yet respectful voice!

    "How many years have you been working in Shuntian Mansion?" Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.

    "Your Majesty, Weichen's father is the treasurer of Shuntian Mansion. It has been three months since Weichen took over his father's position. My father also bought this ninth-grade official position with money from Zhang Changlu!" Wu Bingrui said expressionlessly.  replied.

    "No wonder Liu Qi didn't bribe you, he's still a new official!" Zhu Youxiao said with a contemptuous smile.

    "Your Majesty, even if the minister has been in office for a long time, Liu Qi and his ilk will never try to bribe the minister!" Wu Bingrui looked at Zhu Youxiao and said sonorously and forcefully. His eyes were as clear as water and shining like stars, which made people feel sad.  It means awe-inspiring.

    "You said your father bought this official position for you?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wu Bingrui again and asked in a deep voice.

    "Yes!" Wu Bingrui's expression suddenly darkened when he mentioned this matter, but he continued: "Although my father violated the national law, since I am a son, I should be punished on my father's behalf!"

    "Since your father used money to buy you a ninth-grade official from Zhang Changlu, now you take out the most valuable thing on your body!" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

    Although Wu Bingrui didn't know what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do, but it was hard to disobey the sacred order, he still took off a simple jade pendant with the word "Fu" on his body, held it in both hands and presented it to Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao picked up the jade pendant and looked at it.  Look, I found that it was just an ordinary jade pendant. If I had to estimate it, it would cost only three to five taels of silver.

    "It's done. Your father bought you a ninth-grade Sesame Officer. Today I will sell you a Fuyin of Shuntian Prefecture. However, the Fuyin of Shuntian Prefecture is a third-grade official. Your official position is low and you are not a Jinshi, so I can only agree to it.  You have a fifth-grade title, but you have to remember that since I made this deal, I definitely don¡¯t want it to be lost, so you must take care of yourself!" Zhu Youxiao said as he put away the jade pendant.

    Wu Bingrui looked at Zhu Youxiao blankly, not knowing what was happening in front of him, but Zhu Youxiao just smiled and quickly disappeared into the night with Wang An and the guards.

      After a long time, Luo Sigong smiled and said to Wu Bingrui: "Master Wu, please stop kneeling like crazy and hurry back to the Yamen to be the director!"

    Wu Bingrui suddenly kowtowed three times in the direction Zhu Youxiao left, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Wu Bingrui swears to God, if you dare to do anything illegal, you will tell me that the Wu family will have no descendants!"

    After shouting this, Wu Bingrui got up from the ground and quickly disappeared into the darkness. The two officials who were not involved looked at Wu Bingrui who was leaving with great envy, and then looked at each other, and they all had a tacit understanding.  , also hurriedly got up and followed Wu Bingrui!

    The British Duke looked at Wu Bingrui's back, smacked his lips and said, "It looks like another Hai Rui will be born in the Ming Dynasty!"

    Luo Sigong smiled and said: "With this person in charge of Shuntian Mansion, we men may find it difficult to live at ease these days. You must take good care of your family and don't get into trouble!"

    The British duke clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for the tip. I will hand over the people involved in the matter to you in the capital camp early tomorrow morning."

    Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there are some old people in the hands of the Duke of Guo. Look"

    The British Duke snorted angrily and said: "Not to mention some unsatisfactory subordinates, even the descendants of the old man, as long as they are on that list, the bodies will be sent to you early tomorrow morning. The old man is a little tired, so I'll say goodbye first!"

    Luo Sigong hurriedly saluted and said: "Best farewell to the Duke!"

    In the morning of the next morning, Zhu Youxiao specially wore an Emperor's Sword and sat on the dragon chair. Looking towards the court class, he saw that today's civil and military officials had different expressions. On weekdays, the noble generals looked like soy sauce.  Everyone is dancing with joy.

    "But among those arrogant civil servants, some are dejected, some are filled with indignation, and some are suspicious, but none of them has the usual arrogance!

    Even an old fox like Fang Congzhe had a sinking face. He looked at his nose, his nose and his mouth, and asked his heart. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. As for the Donglin princes, although there were many with angry expressions, they  They all look like they dare to be angry but dare not speak!

    Zhu Youxiao received a secret report from Dongchang last night. Liu Yisui, Yang Lian, and Zuo Guangdou met secretly overnight and repaired the Southeast, asking the big households in the Southeast to transport grain and rice to Beijing as soon as possible. They also informed everyone in Donglin that  Let them not get entangled in the two matters of official ships entering the sea and collecting commercial taxes!

    But who would have thought that the emperor's murder of a minister happened overnight, and there were also rumors that Zhu Youxiao planned to appoint the British Duke Zhang Weixian as Minister of War. This can be said to have shaken the foundation of the civil service, which made all civil servants, including Fang Congzhe  Everyone inside felt that the little emperor was really fooling around, so that was why there was this weird scene in the court!

    Zhu Youxiao put the Emperor's Sword he was wearing on the dragon table and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, just say whatever you have to say. I am not a man who blocks the way of speech, and I will not blame you for telling the truth.  !¡±

    After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost lost their breath and crooked their noses. The bodies of more than a dozen people are still cold, and the culprit actually said something that was not a sinner. No one would believe it even if he said it!
