Looking at the puppets in the court, Chongzhen inexplicably remembered the ghost videos he had watched in later generations, and various spoof dubbing versions of "The Fighter of the Head".

Chongzhen felt like the head of state underground, a group of scumbags were about to kill him, and Jiannu rushed in and beat him to death at any time like a polar bear.

Just when Chongzhen was thinking about whether he would arrest a few more people to kill him, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, suddenly came out to report: "Your Majesty, if you don't collect this commercial tax, where does the national dynasty come from to train soldiers? Where does the silver come from to help the people?

As for the corruption that Master Shi mentioned just now, I am ignorant, but I have a little opinion."

Chongzhen was interested in what Xu Xianchun said. You should know that Xu Xianchun, one of the "Five Biaos", belongs to a military position, so it is definitely no problem for him to fight and kill, but it is really embarrassing him for advice.

No matter what, it is a good phenomenon that people below are actively making their way forward, so they should be encouraged. Chongzhen immediately asked, "What are the opinions of Xu Aiqing?"

Xu Xianchun said: "I heard from Your Majesty that Master Shi is nothing more than the officials and minor officials below who are corrupt and are worried that the supervisors will collude with him.

However, what if the great edicts made by Emperor Taizu Hongwu were used to let the people supervise officials?

Taking a county as an example, the county magistrate is corrupt. Can he bribe one person and the whole county? In addition, the factory guards secretly supervise it, corruption can be stopped."

When the officials in the court heard this, they cursed in their hearts.

Xu Xianchun is worthy of being the fifth party of the eunuch party. He is really cruel. This move is like taking off the firewood directly - the people are definitely unwilling to be corrupt by officials, but since Emperor Chengzu, this great edict has gradually become a nameless decoration. Therefore, which one of them dares to take care of the affairs of the officials?

Now Xu Xianchun has re-used such a great killing weapon as the Great Eagle, and the Jinyiwei has been supporting the mud legs. Even if everyone in the court thinks about it, they will know that the people below dare not be corrupt easily.

So the question is, the people below dare not be corrupt, where will the big men in the court accept "filial piety"? If the "filial piety" is gone, would we, the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, and the ministers of various departments, go to make money in person? Do you still need the face of the court?!

Chongzhen didn't care what the ministers in the court thought. In his opinion, as long as he could stop the unhealthy trend of corruption and supplemented by commercial taxation, the Ming Dynasty would not be destroyed! He didn't have to worry about one day that a courier would force him to hang himself in the southeast branch.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was very happy in the long face, decided to do this. He even wanted to learn from a big boss: "Who agrees? Who opposes?!"

Chongzhen immediately ignored the ugly faces of the ministers below who died and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, I have a decree."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty must prepare a grand edict at home. I will send local governments to deliver it to each household in your first household. If anyone dares not give it to me, I will send the Jinyiwei to deal with it.

If you have a great imperial edict at home, you can take the imperial edict to the county government office to see if your county magistrate is greedy for money. If so, escort him to the capital, and I will have a lot of rewards.

If you have children at home to study, you should study the Great Edict well. In the future, the content of the Great Edict will be added. Those who are not familiar with it cannot become officials."

After saying that, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen again: "Just write an edict as I said just now, with no words or few words. Be sure to let the people understand it. This edict will be as long as it will never add a licence, so that the people can know this matter."

Chongzhen thought about it and said to the ministers: "Since this supervision problem has been solved, let me tell you, how should I collect this commercial tax? I will first set a tone. Those who produce and use it themselves will not collect, those who benefit less will receive less, and those who benefit more will receive more. Others, please add it."

Since the commercial taxation matter was a foregone conclusion, Chongzhen, who held the butcher's knife, made a decision again, and the ministers had to fight for it again, hoping that he could get some benefits. Seeing that he could not discuss it for a while, Chongzhen simply talked about another thing.

"This time I went to Xuanfu and ordered people to search the eight traitors who colluded with Jiannu, and they gained a lot.

Since I have money, I also think about bringing up the salary of all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. After the dear ministers returned, they thought carefully and handed over the memorials."

"In addition, before I left Beijing to pursue Jiannu, I had ordered the Ministry of Works to supervise the construction of the Martyrs' Temple. How is it now?"

The Minister of Works immediately came out to listen to the work and said, "It's October now. No matter how hard you work, you can't finish the snow before the snow falls. When the snow blows, the quality will be difficult to guarantee. Please make a decision without authorization. The craftsmen have ordered to suspend construction and continue until the spring of the next year. I am guilty."

Chongzhen said "hmm" and said, "This is not your fault. The time when Jiannu knocked on the gate is too coincidental, it is not your fault. Since it has been suspended, let's pause first. But the craftsmen should not disperse first, and wait for my order.

However, Chongzhen remembered the awkward thing. Glass, cement, and gunpowder were the necessary legal documents for traveling through time.

I already have gunpowder, but I don’t know this thing. I only know that glass was burned with sand. As for how to burn it? Damn it, I was just a programmer before I traveled through time, not an engineering dog!

Cement? I don’t know what’s going on. At worst, I can get a bunch of stones, all kinds of them. Is it enough to burn them separately and burn them into ashes? Then add some water, which one is solidified and is particularly strong, then it is cement?

The more I thought about cement, the more itchy he felt, Chongzhen simply said, "Forget it, I'll be here today.

After the ministers returned, they thought about these two things carefully. One was commercial tax and the other was increased salary.

The memorial is appropriate to be vernacular. The simpler and clearer it means that the better the thoughts in my heart. Let it be dispersed."

After retiring from the court, Chongzhen, who returned to the harem, thought more and more that his ideas were reliable. When he arrived at the place where Emperor Tianqi worked as a carpenter before, Chongzhen suddenly remembered that Tianqi was doing carpenters, and this piece of land was only suitable for carpenter work. If he wanted to study how to boil cement, he had to clean it up.

Fortunately, Chongzhen was the emperor. With the order, the eunuchs and maids in the entire palace were busy. The moving things and the sliding of the ground was swept away, and it was cleaned up soon.

Wei Zhongxian, who heard the news, looked at everything in front of him slowly being cleaned up, and thought of the great Emperor Tianqi, whose nose was sore and his eyes turned red.

When Chongzhen saw it, the memory of the authentic Chongzhen hidden deep in his mind was also evoked, but he forced himself to shout: "What are you crying! I am sad, my brother is very happy. But I have to clean up the mess left to me by the emperor.

Let’s cheer up and send people to the Ministry of Works to recruit some craftsmen who burn lime and bricks to come to the palace. I have some things to give!"
