Nearly half a month has passed, and the storm in the capital has not subsided.

The arrest of the Ministry of Justice was very smooth. All those who participated in this rebellion or had any connections, whether officials or gentry who had not entered the officialdom, were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's prison.

Zhu Youxiao specially dispatched the Imperial Guard to guard. Without his warrant, even the Minister of Justice could not be imprisoned.

The cleanup and house search of the nobles are also in full swing.

Seeing Xu Xianchun’s report on the preliminary liquidation of the assets of the nobles, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood.

Those corrupt officials had different positions and had no good positions and no amount of oil to scrape. They copied more than twenty companies, and even less than 100,000 taels of silver.

Although those merchants and wealthy people had some assets, they did not have many. The twelve companies combined were only more than 400,000 taels.

However, there are quite a lot of grain, cloth, silk, etc. that were found.

But these are all small money, and the real big head is with the nobles.

The searched cash and jewelry alone are as huge as 25 million taels, and this does not include the fixed assets under their names, such as land, houses, shops, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Sure enough, the wealth accumulated by this noble family that has been passed down for more than two hundred years is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even Zhu Youxiao, who had been mentally prepared, had to be shocked at this time and even looked at these nobles with different eyes.

You know, it is still the second year of Tianqi, not the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, but these nobles are already so rich.

And this is a preliminary calculation.

He had to suspect that the 70 million taels of silver obtained by the Dashun Army in history were only what he had obtained.

Zhu Youxiao has read the records of Kou Zhi in the country's peace, and it all clearly stated that 30% of the money Li Chuang got from nobles and 30% of the eunuchs in the palace.

The remaining 40% were divided into 20% of the civil servants and ministers in the capital and the wealthy merchants who had not had time to escape.

Although historical materials are proved, Zhu Youxiao still doubts.

The real money that was really roasted, and the rebels burned, killed, looted, and collected money like scraping the ground, was definitely more than 70 million taels.

You should know that the rebel army is even more terrifying than locusts. There is no grass growing wherever it passes, especially after entering Beijing, the rebel army has no military discipline.

Even the emperor Li Zicheng, the horse-stop emperor, could not restrain the army he brought out.

For the crusade army, he doesn't care whether you have money or not, or what kind of status you have, you won't let go of any one and snatch them all.

Liu Zongmin hated corrupt officials and wealthy merchants the most in his life, and was also a guy who could eat people and never vomit bones.

Even if he didn't take away all the assets of Beijing, it would be at least 80% or 90%.

In addition, a group of young men who broke into the army like locusts were all shameful.

This white silver is in front of them, so how can there be no reason not to take it?

Liu Zongmin was very bold and did not take Emperor Li Zicheng seriously at all.

In front of everyone, he said to Li Zicheng directly, "You should sit for the emperor, and this is the sound of me."

He even said after drinking, "I made a horse with him, why did you worship him today?" The generals of the rebel army grinned and laughed when they heard this.

Later, Wu Sangui rebelled, and Li Zicheng wanted Liu Zongmin to lead the army to Shanhaiguan.

As a result, this guy was even more invincible. At the court meeting where all the civil servants and generals of the rebel army were present, he said again:

"Why are you enjoying your life in this city? We brothers go out and fight to the death?"

Obviously, he had no respect for Emperor Li Zicheng, Dashun.

Li Zicheng was so angry that he almost didn't stare out his eyes. In desperation, he had to lead the army to Shanhaiguan himself. Liu Zongmin didn't have any time to say anything, so he went together.

Just like this, do you expect them to be able to give all the money they have obtained to Li Zicheng alone?

But it’s useless to think about so much now. He has already done Liu Zongmin’s job in advance, and it is himself who makes money.

Putting down the list in his hand, Zhu Youxiao Da breathed a sigh of relief.

With this money, he can expand another 100,000 elite troops, and even the early construction and development of the navy is completely enough.

Moreover, with so much silver, silver dollars can also be mass-produced, and there is just enough capital to integrate the economy and market.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao slowly spoke:

"All the Jinyiwei belong to the Jinyiwei will be given a reward of 100 taels of silver, and more than 100 households, and another fifty taels will be added."

"Those who died in battle will be given a pension of 500 taels of silver, and choose the right people from the family, and give them their position."

"There are also those injured, and you can add fifty taels. You can wait until they have a long vacation and then go back to the yamen to do the job after the injury is healed."

If you get rich yourself, you can't neglect the people below you.

Although they are likely to be full, this open and upright reward is still very different from sneaking.

What's more, the target of this attack is the nobles who are well-known to be with the country.

As a personal army, the Jinyiwei is very similar to them to some extent.

If he had such a thing, he would reward a lot of money and also have a pleasing effect on the people's hearts.

"I am thanking the brothers of the Jinyiwei for their kindness."

Xu Xianchun, who was tired, suddenly became energetic when he heard the emperor rewarding Jinyiwei.

Xu Xianchun has been very busy these days. He has been resting for less than three hours a day, so he ran around, but it made him very tired.

Fortunately, the emperor had done his job and now he received a heavy reward, and he also gave an explanation to his subordinates.

After Xu Xianchun left, Zhu Youxiao began to plan the purpose of his money.

For this reason, he also specially called the eunuch who managed the inner treasury and asked Wang Chaofu to calculate and reconcile with him.

Zhu Youxiao's inner treasury had a total of 13 million taels of gold and silver left. In addition to the income from the house search, it was 38 million taels.

He suddenly became the richest landlord in the Ming Dynasty, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't inflate either. He knew clearly that this was just the beginning.

The officials and gentry in the north are not as good as Jiangnan, and the nobles in the capital are naturally not as good as those in Nanjing. They have been passed down since the Hongwu year.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao decided to put all the searched grains into Taicang of the Ministry of Revenue. As for the money, he did not plan to divide the money this time.

As the finishing work progressed rapidly, the capital gradually stabilized again.

Because Zhu Youxiao made big moves as soon as he came back this time.

The new policy of digging into acres he implemented in Datong seemed to have forgotten it and never mentioned it again.

Maybe they are all busy cutting off their relationship and protecting themselves with all their might.

But no matter what the reason was, it also made Zhu Youxiao worry-free.

Without them talking in his ears, he was in a much better mood.
