"Shut up!" Huang Youwei rebuked angrily. At this moment, his heart was bleeding.
He had spent all the snowflakes and silver that he had racked his brains and swindled over the past few years. How could it not be a lot?
Li Zhi smiled meaningfully.
He thought to himself, It seems that the officials of the Great Tang are quite wealthy. In the future, if I need money, I will definitely look for them.”
He also thought of the hard-working Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian. When Li Zicheng attacked the city of Beijing, Zhu Youjian suggested that the ministers donate money as military pay to recruit soldiers to defend the city.
In the end, these ministers made excuses or used a little money to perfunctory Chongzhen.
In the end, Beijing City was breached and Zhu Youjian committed suicide in Meishan.
Those ministers who refused to pay out money, under the torture of Li Zicheng's number one general, Liu Zongmin, took out hundreds of times the amount of gold and silver.
It was really ironic.
Li Zhi didn't want to be a Chongzhen, so he couldn't let these dog officials become rich and make himself poor.
He had people move the silver to the inner chamber at the back of the hall and then continued the trial.
The following cases were mostly corruption and crimes of stealing gold and silver.
Li Zhi was particularly concerned about such cases.
Huang Youwei and Ren Haoren were complaining incessantly. After all, this mess was getting bigger and bigger, and it would not be easy to clean it up in the end.
In the end, other than the 120,000 taels of silver, Gao Lishi was also found to have embezzled 90,000 taels of silver.
Li Zhi let Yan Song personally bring people to search Gao Lishi's house.
After a day of inspection, they had obtained a total of 30,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, and all kinds of jade, antiques, and calligraphy, which were equivalent to more than 20,000 taels of silver.
This was roughly equivalent to the 90,000 taels.
Huang Youwei and Ren Haoren heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the number.
This Gao Lishi finally had some family background. Otherwise, the two of them would have asked him to go around asking for money, and he would have to spend a lot of money to plug the loophole.
Li Zhi asked Yan Song to send people to move all the gold and silver into his palace. He specially built a silver vault and sealed it.
Yan Song finally sentenced Gao Lishi to exile at the border, his family members were all dismissed, demoted to low status, forever unable to be an official.
To Gao Lishi, this sentence was already quite merciful.
The moment he heard the verdict, Gao Lishi began to cry bitterly. Then, he knelt down five times to Li Zhi, thanking the Emperor for his great kindness.
After two days, Gao Lishi's case was finally closed.
Li Zhi's harvest this time was extremely bountiful. Just the silver alone was worth 150,000 taels, the gold was 5,000 taels, and the other gold, jade, gems, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings were worth more than 20,000 taels.
In addition, Gao Lishi's mansion occupied an area of 300 acres. It had a large courtyard, pavilions, and many rooms.
After Li Zhi confiscated the house, he ordered people to tidy it up and prepare to use it as a government office for the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
........
In the inner chamber, Li Zhi was awakened by a fragrant wind. When he opened his eyes, he saw Diao Chan.
These few days, Diao Chan looked more and more beautiful and moving. Her small breasts were also plump, and her figure was also slender. She looked more and more feminine.
She must have developed again in the past few days.
At this moment, there was a sudden sizzling sound.
This sound seemed to come from a bad connection.
Then, a crisp sound rang out.
"Ding, system... System, barely activated. Data summary completed. Based on the host's domineering performance previously, a total of 1300 domineering points have been obtained. Domineering points can be exchanged for goods in the mall.”
Li Zhi was shocked. F * ck, the broken system was finally activated again.
That was great.
He had actually obtained 1300 domineering points!
Li Zhi quickly opened the system store in the system.
He wanted to see if there was anything good inside.
If there were any heavenly treasures, he would exchange them for them directly. Then, his cultivation would increase greatly. He would hold the three-foot-long Qingfeng sword and rush into the bedroom of the eighth empress, snorting at them.
Li Zhi's mind was very active, and he thought of many good things in an instant.
However…
When he opened the system store, he was instantly dumbfounded.
The only item in the system store was the Body Tempering Pill.
It was the kind of medicinal pill that he had taken before to change his physique.
However, one person could only take one of these pills. There was no effect even if they took more. After all, the effects could not be stacked.
Moreover, if he ate too much, it was very likely that his Yang qi would be too strong, and his true qi would surge wildly, causing his blood vessels to explode and he would die.
"System, explain to me. Is this your so-called mall? F * ck, you have the nerve to call it a mall with only one product?”Li Zhi was so angry that his hair stood on end.
"Host, please exchange as soon as possible. The system is running low on battery and will be shut down in hibernation!”
The system's voice drove Li Zhi crazy.
Helpless, he immediately exchanged all 1300 domineering points for Body Tempering Pills. He obtained a total of 13 Body Tempering Pills.
In an instant, Li Zhi felt that there was something extra in his sleeve pocket.
After sending Diao Chan out of the room, he placed the 13 Body Tempering Pills the size of soybeans into a small bag and kept them close to his body for future use.
In the morning court.
Prime Minister Di Renjie reported that a drought had broken out in Shaanxi and Gansu, and many farmers had lost their crops. The country needed to send people to relieve the disaster as soon as possible.
Li Zhi immediately ordered the Minister of Revenue to allocate money and grain to relieve the disaster in Shaanxi and Gansu.
As for the other small matters, Li Zhi let Di Renjie decide.
Di Renjie was very gratified to see Li Zhi handling his official duties smoothly, and the empress could hardly get a word in.
The eighth empress's face was as dark as water. They felt the pressure from Li Zhi.
After the morning court session, Li Zhi went straight to the Imperial Army camp. He wanted to personally select the Embroidered Uniform Guards and new guards.
.......
On the Imperial Army Drill Ground.
Three thousand Imperial Army soldiers stood densely packed together.
These soldiers were all selected from the various camps and gathered together.
It could be said that this Imperial Army was equivalent to the special forces of the future.
The new Commander of the Imperial Army, Yang Ye, stood in front of the troops and swept his gloomy gaze over the soldiers.
In these few days of contact with these Imperial Army soldiers, he discovered that many of them were subservient to him, and the situation of forming cliques for personal gain was very serious.
Many of the leaders of the Imperial Army were from the eighth empress, and Yang Ye was sometimes unable to command them.
After all, there were two or three leaders with the surname Wu, two with the surname Lu, and two with the surname Yin. Although the others were not related to the Eighth Empress, they were still trusted subordinates.
Yang Ye was very worried that Li Zhi would shoot himself in the foot if he chose a new team candidate from these people.
(Aiya, aiya, chapter 19 is good. Chapter 18 is locked in the small black room again. Sob, sob, sob, hurry up and edit it!) Please give me some fresh flowers to comfort me, big shots!）
