Yangxin Palace Hall.
Even though Jiang Chen didn't step out of the hall, he still knew everything that was happening in the country.
In just one or two days, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had captured thousands of people in this nationwide purge. Among them were officials, businessmen who bought and sold official positions, and even people from the aristocratic families!
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
As for how these people who were captured should be dealt with, there were naturally laws. Those who should be killed, those who should be beheaded, and those who should be imprisoned.
Jiang Chen didn't need to do anything about these small matters.
Of course, this caused a huge commotion in the court. The civil and military officials wailed and the clans all over the world protested.
Countless memorials were sent to the Heart-nourishing Pavilion.
However, these memorials, Jiang Chen, this is also not looking, all playing, this is the province under the door, where to send, where to send!
As for the officials who came to plead for mercy, Jiang Chen also refused to see them!
Jiang Chen had already decided to purge the court, so he would never be soft-hearted and thought about the negative impact!
However, in Jiang Chen's view, these negative effects were far less than the benefits of this purge!
First, after this purge, all the evil spirits in the country would be eliminated, and the people would be able to live and work in peace!
Secondly, clearing out the fake positions could greatly reduce the pressure on the court's salary. Moreover, there would be more positions for the second-grade examinees!
The third was to display the might of the emperor and win over the hearts of the people!
In just two days, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that his imperial prestige was increasing all the time.
However, the increase was relatively small. It was always 1 or 2 points.
However, this already showed that this purge event had completely achieved Jiang Chen's goal of showing his authority!
Secondly, he wanted to win Ming Xin over again!
Back then, after the tax reform, the average popular sentiment was only 28 points. After the amnesty, it rose to 34 points. In fact, it was still too little.
And this time, Jiang Chen solved the corrupt officials everywhere, which was equivalent to eliminating the scourge for the people. The people's hearts would naturally rise.
However, what surprised Jiang Chen was that the popular sentiment directly rose from 34 points to 44 points, an increase of 10 points!
At the same time, he thought of the news from the East and West Chambers. The people all over the world were celebrating as if it was the new year, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Although the people's hearts had risen, they should be happy!
However, such a huge increase and the reaction of the people also expressed another state. It was how miserable the people were under the control of corrupt officials!
This made Jiang Chen even more determined to create a peaceful world!
But then, Jiang Chen came back to his senses.
Because the loot had been sent back to the East and West Divisions.
318 famous paintings!
856 jade ornaments!
500 pieces of jewelry!
1,300 pieces of precious silk!
The total value of gold and silver was six million taels!
All of the items added up to a total of 13,800,000 taels!
Jiang Chen looked at the East and West Chambers, using ten thousand people to calculate the data, he was dumbfounded!
This had far exceeded his expectations!
Originally, he thought that it would be good enough if he could copy three to four million taels of silver. He did not expect to copy nearly twenty million!
Sure enough, a horse would not get fat without grass at night. However, these officials usually sought so much personal gain for themselves that it had simply reached an appalling level!
The key was that this was only the gains from the raids in Chang 'an Fortress. The gains in other parts of the country were still on the way, and some places had not yet started the raids!
If they added it all up, it was estimated to be around 20 to 30 million taels!
Jiang
Chen couldn't help but gasp!
At this moment, he once again felt the joy of looting!
Sure enough, it felt good to raid a house for a while, but it would always feel good to raid a house!
The treasury, which was originally not rich, instantly became rich!
Jiang Chen felt that he might be the only emperor who relied on seizing property to maintain the state treasury!
However, Jiang Chen felt it was a pity that after the purge, there weren't many places left for him to plunder!
