In the royal study.
Di Renjie reported to Shen Hao that the execution was completed.
Zhang Juzheng was puzzled."Emperor, why did you burn the memorial? Even if you don't investigate it, you can still settle the score in the future."
Shen Hao smiled and said,"What evidence? How could there be so much evidence in such a short period of time? It's all white paper. It's just to scare them
."
"How much money does the national treasury have now?" Shen Hao 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 silverware and silver jewelry, and 30 million taels of silver. There were 1875 pieces of jade,
more than 3200 volumes of ancient paintings,
more than 41,000 pieces of brocade and silk. There were also countless other treasures such as ivory, rhinoceros, tortoiseshell, agate, and so on.
"
This amount of money is enough for our Great Zhou to have a fat new year."
Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and said,"Your Majesty, you are too naive. Just the salaries of the soldiers and officials in various places have been deducted by 10 million taels. Not counting the repair of the river embankment and the distribution of disaster relief food, the national treasury's debt alone has reached 30 million taels of silver."
"At present, we need to raise 100,000 elite cavalry. Otherwise, we won't be able to face the dukedom."
Shen Hao smiled and said,"We don't need cavalry for now."
Zhang Ju was anxious and said,"Your Majesty, we can't be careless. Now that you're investigating the military pay case, it can be said that it affects the entire army."
Although they had killed Prime Minister Han Xiao and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming, the generals at the border all 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 100 troops. After this investigation, they found that 500,000 troops were fabricated. There were only quotas and no people. All of them were paid empty salaries.
It was impossible to rely on such an army.
Although the three of them looked worried, Shen Hao was very 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
rules. Reward: 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry]
This so-called 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry is more powerful than the trump card army in the hands of the kings. I really look forward to such a collision.
Shen Hao said,"Don't worry. I also have a cavalry that can dominate the world."
Hearing this, Liu Bei Zi and the others looked at each other.
Seeing Shen Hao's confident expression, Shi Zhixuan was surprised.
Thinking of Shen Hao's unexpected performance, it seemed 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, he had to spend five million taels to choose a beautiful girl for the emperor.
Shen Hao didn't expect the money to be spent so quickly. 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 would also help the royal family to carry on the family line and continue the royal line."
Shen Hao:
" I also want to, but I can't do it.'
At the thought of this, Shen Hao had an urgent thought about his body. This system was really trash.
What the hell?
"Alright, this matter is known. We will discuss the matter of choosing a beautiful girl in the future."
Zhang Juzheng said,"Emperor, the officialdom is currently empty. Should we let the aristocratic families recommend them?"”
"Dream on," Shen Hao said,"Don't even think about the empty seat."
Tomorrow, it will be announced that there will be an exam for the Great Zhou Dynasty. All the citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty can participate, regardless of their status, as long as they are promoted
.
Shi Zhixuan, Zhang Juzheng, and Di Renjie trembled. If they were using the imperial examination 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.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the system of selecting talents was very simple. The ministers in the court would directly accept advice.
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, Shen Hao'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."
Shen Hao sneered and said,"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 Dynasty and them, right?”
