At this time, Zhu Yicheng suspected that Li Wei was the Li Wei in history, but it is still impossible to determine whether it is.

But one thing is certain. Li Wei is indeed an operator. He solved the problem in such a short time just because he had not yet established a stable foothold in Luoyuan County, and then made great contributions in the Fujian case. This person is really not simple.

I carefully looked at the arrangements for Li Wei in the list. According to the list and recommendations reported in Fujian, the Ministry of Personnel's arrangement for Li Wei was to be promoted from the ninth rank chief clerk to the seventh rank magistrate, and was promoted to the fourth level at once. More importantly, he was transferred from Luoyuan County to Changle County, Fuzhou, and became the chief officer of the largest and most important county in Fuzhou.

This promotion can be said to be very good, and it also means that Li Wei directly passed the probation period and became the seventh-rank chief official.

To be honest, Zhu Yicheng even had the idea of ​​adjusting Li Wei's official position at this time, and invited him to Nanjing to see if this person was the Li Wei in his memory. But after thinking about it, Zhu Yicheng gave up this idea. After all, Li Wei is just a sesame and mung bean official at the moment. The emperor issued an order to summon a seventh-rank magistrate who had not yet been officially appointed to the capital. Once this news spread, it would not be a good thing.

What's more, no matter whether Li Wei is that Li Wei or not, he is not a big deal for Zhu Yicheng now. If he is really Li Wei in history, then gold will shine everywhere. Zhu Yicheng secretly wrote down the name of this person in his heart, and then picked up the pen and drew a circle on it.

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Yicheng returned the roster to Liao Huanzhi and asked him to handle it according to the regulations. Liao Huanzhi agreed, and then Zhu Yicheng asked about the end of the Fujian case. Liao Huanzhi was prepared for this and immediately reported it one by one.

As for the verdicts of officials and wealthy businessmen who entered the case, this is a conclusion. Liao Huanzhi basically reported the situation of searching and repaying the land and family wealth in the local area because of the case. Zhu Yicheng listened quietly, and nodded slightly while listening. This matter was specifically explained by him. Because corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen colluded with many people in many places. Since the case has been settled, the land and family wealth that were occupied at the time of the case will naturally be returned. This is also a remedial measure for the court.

In addition to this, Zhu Yicheng was a little happy after the search. According to what Liao Huanzhi said, in addition to the returned land and family finances, the amount of the search was counted. A total of more than 90 million yuan of property was confiscated into the national treasury. When he learned that there was such a large amount, although Zhu Yicheng had predicted it in advance, he was also surprised.

"These people really want money but don't live, more than 90 million yuan, haha..."

Liao Huanzhi smiled bitterly and nodded immediately. He was shocked after the property was finally counted. Such a large amount could almost match the fiscal revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty a few years ago. Even now, it accounts for most of the fiscal revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty.

A sentence flashed through Zhu Yicheng's mind, "Heshen fell, Jiaqing had enough food." Heshen, a corrupt official in history, was eventually confiscated, and his family's wealth was worth the 20-year tax of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor at that time, Jiaqing, became a fat man in one breath. It seems that the court had no money to confiscate corrupt officials, was indeed a good way, just like the people raising pigs. If the pig is fattened, it can be killed and eaten.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but laugh. He was not the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. What he wanted to build was a brand new Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yicheng would rather not find a corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty than see the money being caught in the warehousing.

But then again, the money has understood the urgent needs of the court. Originally, after the Central Plains War, the Ming Dynasty was extremely tight in finance. Wang Fan was worried about the money every day. Before, Zhu Yi and Chengdu used the private treasury to pull the Ministry of Revenue. Otherwise, Wang Fan, who was short of money, would have to be driven crazy.

Now that this large sum of money has been invested, the gap in the Ministry of Revenue has disappeared, and the fact that the Central Plains disaster relief plan formulated before is also sufficient. In addition, the news from Xinming a few days ago also made Zhu Yicheng very happy.

After the Fujian case, the annual income of various places will surge a lot. It should be no problem to think that the court's income will exceed 200 million or even more by next year. In addition, as Xinming gradually stabilized, Xinming, which has always subsidized by the imperial court, has gradually begun to feed back to the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the others, it is just the gold and silver mines in Xinming. The gold and silver mines in Wanghai City have been invested in mining and produce a lot every day. Moreover, with the expansion of Sun City, the Xinming government has actually discovered the existence of Jinshan hundreds of miles from Sun City, which made Xinming even more ecstatic.

These gold and silver mines provided a large source of wealth for Xinming. According to the practice of Western countries, these gold and silver naturally had to be minted locally, or made into gold and silver bars and loaded on a large ship to transport them back to the local area. However, the Ming Dynasty was not like this. It was mentioned before that Western countries have always operated the territory outside the local area in the form of colonies, that is, they can obtain the wealth of the colonies indefinitely and then transported the wealth back to the country for domestic enjoyment.

However, the Ming Dynasty was different. As the Han people, they had always had a strong sense of land and an assimilation culture that their nations did not have. When they decided to open up the new Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yicheng planned to directly entrust overseas territory, so that these places and the land of China would generally become part of the Ming Dynasty, rather than just a colony that obtained a source of wealth.

These are two different business methods. From the former, the speed of obtaining wealth will be very fast, and the disorganized exploitation of the colonies can also be used to make the local area stronger in a very short period of time. As for the latter, it requires long-term management. Perhaps not only does not see any profit in a short period of time, it also requires the local area to continuously provide various support from politics to economy to military.

The investment and time required by the latter are incomparable to the former, and it may take several times or even dozens of times more effort to see the effect. This approach is not realistic for European countries, because compared with China, European countries have always been small countries and few people. Their regional politics and aristocratic structure, coupled with the contradiction between kings and theocracy, etc., it is impossible to spend a lot of effort to manage these, so they can only choose the former approach.

This is also the essential difference between China's great unification and European countries. In this world, only the Ming Dynasty can do this, but Western European countries cannot do it.

Originally, Zhu Yicheng had the idea of ​​continuing to invest in Xinming for a long time, but unexpectedly, the continuous gold and silver mines of Wanghai City and Sun City were discovered. In addition, the Xinming Governor's Office was unexpected about the expansion of Xinming. It was not long before Xinming began to have the ability to make blood.
