Chapter 412: Breakthrough

Zhang Jingyi said: "I am doing this now."

Emperor Tianqi said excitedly: "I have nearly 30 million taels of silver now. I can't bear to spend a single pen on weekdays, but with this money, I can finally do something. I see, Donglin Military Academy will expand its scale and recruit more students, and the money... I will give it..."

Zhang Jingyi said happily: "Does Your Majesty take this seriously?"

"Take it seriously." Emperor Tianqi said: "My silver must be used on the blade. After thinking about it, I must first use people to do things in the future. If I want to use people, I will not be able to raise them first. If I take these silver to the civil servants to provide relief to the people and hand them over to the military officers in Liaodong to rest and recuperate the troops, I am afraid that from the ten thousand taels of silver, there will be a hundred taels of silver that will be really useful in the end."

"I can't count on them anymore. I'll point to Donglin Military Academy now. You have to go to a charter to state how many posts you can expand, how many teaching teams you need to hire, and how much money you spend every year, come to me."

Emperor Tianqi said it very seriously. Does he really love money? As an emperor, no one knows the relationship between the country and himself better than Emperor Tianqi.

So he was willing to spend money, but over the years, he was really scared of being cheated. The officials around him were like a group of wolves, staring at the power in his hands and his silver.

After thinking about it, the money still has to be spent. If it doesn’t cost it, the Ming Dynasty will be gone.

But how to spend it? Whose head is spent on, it needs to be considered.

At least at Donglin Military Academy, Emperor Tianqi decided to be generous: "Don't be petty, you should show your courage, don't be afraid of spending money. What I am afraid of is just being wasted."

Zhang Jingyi was excited and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, I will show my courage."

Emperor Tianqi said: "What are the reasons for the chaos?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "There are some..."

Zhang Jing looked up and then said, "As far as I know, the monk's certificates of Daruo Temple have always been issued by the Ministry of Rites, which is responsible for the monk's certificates. However, the Ministry of Rites has been in chaos a few years ago, with only one person, and has been in the Ministry of Rites, from the head of the minister, to the minister, and then to the minister... Speaking of which, if you can protect Daruo Temple, at least in the past twenty years, you may be this person."

Emperor Apocalypse’s eyes lit up: “Who?”

Zhang Jingyi said: "Liu Hongxun, Minister of Rites."

"Liu Hongxun!" Emperor Tianqi's face changed suddenly.

He was very dissatisfied with Liu Hongxun, but he always asked him to serve as the Minister of Rites because Emperor Tianqi always believed that Liu Hongxun was a straightforward person.

Although such a person is useless and pedantic, at least... has a high character, but... he didn't expect that he actually colluded with the gangster.

"Is there any real evidence?"

"No, I'm still investigating it, but for now, I can only start from here and then... slowly follow the clues."

Wei Zhongxian stood aside and listened carefully, as if he was interested in it. After all, he was the admiral of the East Factory and was still very enthusiastic about capturing the rioters.

Emperor Apocalypse said: "How likely do you think it is."

Zhang Jingyi said: "At present, anyone can be, not to mention Liu Shangshu, Wei Brother, or even ministers, they may be a rioter. So... I have released a lot of eyes and ears now, hoping to find a breakthrough..."

Emperor Tianqi walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, showing anxiety: "Does Tian Shenglan have no other confession?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I am also making him recall it to see if there is any valuable information... But now that I can't catch the Fan family, I can only check it one by one."

As he said that, Zhang Jing looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Brother Wei, what news is there in the East Factory and the North Town Fushi?"

Wei Zhongxian was speechless for a moment.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian saw that everyone was like a rebellion and wanted to kill him.

It’s not that he has any special hobbies, but that there are many people in the court who are sarcastic about him.

Wei Zhongxian knew that this matter was of great importance. He pondered for a moment: "There is no clue at the factory guard for the time being, but Your Majesty... I have been thinking about one thing... Why are these people so calm? Look, Tian Shenglan has confessed. Don't they worry that Tian Shenglan knows something? Although the people who contacted them are all from the Fan family, the eight rebellious merchants are one. How can they ensure that Tian Shenglan does not hold another list in his hand? Although this list was burned by Tian Shenglan, others don't know!"

Emperor Aoki nodded: "So what does Wei Banpa think this means?"

"I think they will never be willing to surrender. The news of the house raid is a warning to them. For them, if they don't take action, something big will happen sooner or later. Or..." Wei Zhongxian's eyes were faint: "Maybe they know that Tian Shenglan has burned the list."

Emperor Apocalypse said: "How can they know?"

"Xinxian Prison."

Wei Zhongxian said seriously and then smiled at Zhang Jing: "Brother, we don't mean to arrange your prison, but... In a prison, there will be many people talking, and there will always be a few unruly people. At this time, someone is anxious to jump over the wall. So who can make sure that no one will try his best to find the jailers for information?"

"So... Brother Zhang hopes to start from Liu Hongxun's side, but we think that Liu Hongxun is one direction, and the prison guards in Xinxian are also one direction. Of course, it does not mean that these prison guards will be bribed, but those who are worried will definitely find ways to contact these prison guards. They may be under other names or using other methods, but they are just buying, tempting, and indirectly attacking these methods."

After pausing, Wei Zhongxian said: "So... the prison guards, especially those who can approach Tian Shenglan, including civil servants and clerks, should also think of a way to check it out. Of course, you can't do it openly. This is easy to alert the enemy. You can come secretly and slowly sort it out behind your back. Maybe there will be clues."

Wei Zhongxian's words really woke up the dreamer.

Even Zhang Jingyi suddenly became enlightened and couldn't help but say, "No, start from here, maybe you can have some clues."

Wei Zhongxian laughed and laughed, "Haha, it's just a trick. In fact, there are many things in the capital. If you want to inquire about it, you have to rely on these small means to start from these three religions and nuns, many big cases, or some imperial cases. In fact, it's just the bad ones among some slaves and officials. These people... are the best breakthrough."
