Chapter 357 Routine is King



Chapter 357 Routine is King

Zhu Youjian wanted to scare the monkeys and scare some people with evil intentions. All those who participated in the rebellion would be tried and executed regardless of whether they confessed or not. He didn't even bother to make a little perjury to incriminate these people. The reason why Let Jin Yiwei torture and interrogate them just to squeeze money out of these people's mouths.

The so-called cunning rabbit's three caves, those rich people have the habit of burying gold and silver jewelry to prevent unexpected events, especially those noble families who know better how to survive, and they are experts in hiding money separately, even if the family suffers a devastating blow, Their descendants can also make a comeback with the family's buried treasure.

No matter how awesome a tough guy is, he can't stand the eighteen kinds of torture from Jin Yiwei. In order to die a more pleasant death, he can only confess obediently. However, not everyone confesses. There are some ruthless people who would rather commit suicide in order to keep the family alive. No confession either.

The treasures buried in secret were taken out one by one by the Jin Yiwei and sent to the palace. Together with the confiscated properties of dozens of wealthy businessmen and powerful families, Zhu Youjian made a huge fortune.

The specific data is still being compiled, and there are still many antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and real estate that have not yet been sold and realized. A rough estimate is that it is enough for him to form at least fifty new military divisions and fight a long-term war with the Qing army for three years.

Zhu Youjian also had to admit that there was nothing in the world that could make money faster than ransacking homes.

The large-scale arrest operation must have made the uninformed people fear that they would be affected, and they would inevitably panic. In order to appease the anxious people, Zhu Youjian once again released the navy troops at a cost of only a few thousand taels of silver.

In Ming Dynasty, he was the unrivaled king of routines.

With the emperor's backing and the notorious Jin Yiwei secretly taking care of them, the navy's combat effectiveness was very strong. In just two or three days, the people in the city knew the whole story, and all the tension and fear in their hearts disappeared. , and even knelt down in the direction of the palace and called the emperor a saint.

According to Zhu Youjian's explanation, the naval forces spread inside information among the people and publicized the crimes of those arrested. As for why those people rebelled, it was because they opposed the emperor's reduction or exemption of taxes on the people and the taxation of merchants.

However, the reason why those people dared to rebel was because they were deceived by some powerful people. They can only be blamed for their stupidity, which caused the entire family to lose their heads. No one dared to believe the man behind all this. .

You ask me who is behind this? I don’t dare to say it, I’m also afraid of death, but you just need to ask who instigated the merchants to close their shops and strike the market a few days ago, hehe.

Some words are said so clearly that they make people doubtful. If you say half of the words and leave the other half, the effect will be more obvious.

All the gossips reveal almost the same meaning. In order to make the people all over the world live a good life, the emperor reduced the taxes of the people. However, some bad people do not want the people to live a good life. They want to continue to squeeze the people and enslave the people. The emperor To fight against those bad guys on behalf of the people all over the world, everyone must fully support the emperor.

The common people in ancient times were basically illiterate people who couldn't even write their own names. They were simple and kind-hearted and easy to fool. The sailors were very eloquent. They could speak white into black, speak dead people back to life, and be as fierce as tigers. The operation has made the people more and more loyal, and the Donglin Party, which once established a tall image in the minds of the people, is slowly collapsing.

The people are simple and simple. Whoever treats them well is a good person. If the emperor treats them well, the emperor is a good emperor and deserves to be supported.

By raiding his home, Zhu Youjian not only made a lot of money, but also obtained a large number of soldiers. He formed three new divisions in one go, and they were free soldiers.

In order to avoid wars and famines, a large number of people had to leave their homes and were desperate. They had to sell themselves as slaves to those powerful people, till their fields for them, take up arms in wartime, and become cannon fodder for the powerful people.

Zhu Youjian confiscated the homes of these powerful people, and all the farmers who sold themselves into slavery were liberated. In order to resettle and bribe these farmers, he performed a series of tricks.

As the old saying goes, routine is king.
