In the royal study.
Di Renjie reported to Qin Feng that the execution was completed.
"Your Majesty, why did you burn the memorial? Even if you don't investigate it, you can keep it to settle accounts in the future."
Qin Feng laughed." There's no evidence at all. In such a short period of time, how could there be so much evidence? It's all white paper. It's just to scare them."
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng, Shi Zhixuan, and Di Renjie were speechless. This Emperor was too sly.
"How much money does the national treasury have now?" Qin Feng asked.”
Zhang Juzheng said," From Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming, Minister of War, Assistant Minister of War, Minister of Civil Affairs, and other corrupt officials, we stole more than two million taels of gold ingots, gold bars, gold cakes, gold leaves, gold items, and gold jewelry. 30 million taels of silver;
13,600 taels of silver and jewelry; 1875 pieces of jade;
More than 3200 volumes of ancient paintings;
There were more than 41,000 pieces of brocade and silk, and countless other treasures such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, tortoiseshell, agate, etc.
Roughly calculating, there are more than 55 million taels."
Qin Feng said with satisfaction,"This money is enough for our Great Zhou to have a fat year."
Zhang Juzheng smiled wryly." Your Majesty, you are too naive. Just the salaries of the soldiers and officials have been deducted by 10 million taels of silver. Not counting the repair of the river embankment and the distribution of disaster relief food, the national treasury alone has already owed 30 million taels of silver.
At present, we must raise 100,000 elite cavalry. Otherwise, we won't be able to face the dukedom kings."
Qin Feng smiled,"There's no need for cavalry for now."
"Your Majesty, you can't be careless. Your investigation of the military pay case can affect the entire army." Zhang Juzheng said anxiously.
Although they had killed Prime Minister Han Xiao and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming, the generals at the border still held military power. They had no control over these powers. They had to immediately form a new army, or else the capital would be in danger.”
Shi Zhixuan nodded and said," The Yuan King's Mongolian cavaliers swept across the grasslands. Li Shimin also has a trump card in his hands. He can be said to be invincible!"
This trump card troop was Li Shiming's Black Armor Army!
Great Qin's three more powerful Corps, the Meng Family Corps, the Guanzhong Corps, and the Lishan Corps, had a total of several million soldiers. It could be said that they could completely swallow the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang's Guanning Cavalry and Kang Xi's 300,000 cavalry. Each king has their own trump card army. We can't let our guard down.
Now that they were all restraining each other, no one attacked, but it did not mean that they would never enter the palace.
The Great Zhou Dynasty claimed to have an army of one million. After this investigation, they discovered that 500,000 of them were fabricated. There were only quotas and no people. All of them were paid for nothing.
We can't rely on such an army at all."
Although the three of them had worried expressions, Qin Feng remained extremely calm.
Just now, the system had given him a reward of 10,000 people.
Order!
The host ignored the obstruction of the ministers and forcefully changed the law to kill the three princes, violating the ancestral teachings.
[Reward: 10,000 Snowy Dragon Knights]
This so-called 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry was powerful, and it was the trump card army of the various kings that was more powerful. The sparks of such a collision were really anticipated.
Qin Feng said,"Don't worry, I also have a cavalry that can dominate the world."
Hearing this, Xuande Zi and the others looked at each other. Did the Great Zhou have one?
Seeing Qin Feng's confident expression, Shi Zhixuan was surprised.
Thinking of Qin Feng's unexpected performance, it seems very possible.
This new emperor was really too well-hidden.
Shi Zhixuan expressed that he couldn't see through it.
"Currently, the national treasury only has a total of 10 million at its disposal.
Moreover, I have to spend five million taels to choose a beautiful girl for the emperor."
Qin Feng did not expect that the money would be used up so quickly. He waved his hand and said,"It's fine to choose a beautiful girl, Zhen doesn't need it."
Zhang Juzheng, Di Renjie, and Liu Beizi hurriedly knelt down and said,"This is absolutely impossible. This is the dignity of the Son of Heaven. Every new Emperor will choose three thousand beautiful women to enter the palace to show your dignity.
It will also help the royal family to carry on the family line and continue the royal line."
Qin Feng was speechless.
" I want to too, but I can't do it. It's useless!'
Thinking of this, Qin Feng had an urgent thought about his body. This system was really trash.
What the hell was that?
"Alright, we know about this matter. We'll discuss the matter of choosing a beautiful girl in the future."
"Your Majesty, the current officialdom is empty. Should we let the aristocratic families recommend you?"”
Qin Feng said,"Dream on. Don't even think about the empty seat."
Tomorrow, I will announce that the Enke examination will be held. All citizens of the Great Zhou can participate, regardless of their status. As long as they are promoted,"
"Imperial examinations?"
Shi Zhixuan, Zhang Juzheng, and Di Renjie trembled. If they were using the imperial examinations to select talents, then these aristocratic families would be useless.
It was truly a genius idea. Just thinking about these three people made his blood boil.
Even Shi Zhixuan found it unbelievable.
This was digging up the roots of the aristocratic families.
The Zhou Dynasty's selection of talents was based on an inspection system. The meaning was very simple.
In the selection of talents, they would first consider close relatives with close blood relations.
Under this system, only the children of noble blood could be officials in the court, and their official positions were hereditary.
It is the system of succession of the eldest son to the eldest son, not to the virtuous, and to the eldest son to the noble.
Aristocratic families were powerful because they monopolized the cultural fishing wheel and the reserve power of the officialdom. Only they could recommend them.
However, Qin Feng's imperial examination system had completely opened up the hope of promotion for the lower class.
However, it also cut off the path of retreat for the aristocratic families.
Soon, the three of them calmed down.
Zhang Juzheng said,"Emperor, this..." This resistance will be unprecedentedly huge."
Qin Feng sneered." Don't worry. You can discuss it with the eight kings. If they have brains, they will agree. This is a good thing for the Great Zhou, isn't it?”
