All resources come from the land, from the people.
Those harsh taxes and the wealth squeezed from the people were put into the treasury, and from the local government to the imperial court, they were reported layer by layer, and turned into a book of accounts, like water passing through sand, all of which were stripped away layer by layer by these party-forming officials.
Naturally, in the hands of the emperor, there was not much left of the treasury.
It just so happens that this Zhu Xi is an idle emperor who wants to live forever, thinking that he regards the eunuchs around him as his family, and the court as his own living room, and understands their "difficulty" with human affection, but ignores that he is not the monarch of a palace, but the monarch of all the people in the world.
This has made the exploitation of those officials even more intense, and the harsh taxes have increased year after year, but the treasury is still in deficit every year If there is no reform, civil upheaval, natural and man-made disasters, external disasters, and the destruction of the country are just around the corner And according to the original plot, after Zhu Xi's death, the new monarch immediately implemented a series of reforms to make this already moth-eaten country survive Although the original owner later followed his master Li Huairen's father-in-law to the imperial tomb to guard, he still knew a thing or two about the outside world.
Tens of thousands of people were involved in that long-lasting reform, and of course, there were those parties who were at odds with each other, and in short, there was no reform that could have been successful without bloodshed.
Leather, cut off.
It meant killing.
However, from the perspective of people outside a political party, it is the people who suffer the most.
The fields that had been tuned were still in the hands of the powerful, but they had been replaced.
Their harsh taxes are still heavy, and the wealth created by the hardships of wearing the stars and the moon every day, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, and the wealth they continue to create, are still swallowed up by the bloated bureaucrats layer by layer like the West Sand.
However, now Ziqing has directly swept through the difficult reform in the middle and directly eradicated the foundation of their corruption.
There are no local officials to oppress and exploit the people, and there is no local government to provide for them, so how can they get income other than money So, ever since Ziqing began to carry out a purge of the whole country with a holy decree, they have been operating.
But all they can think of is to enter the language, refer to the book.
It's a pity that now the emperor locks himself up in the Taihe Hall all day long to practice the way of immortality, if they thought that the emperor was stupid and incompetent before, he cultivated and let him cultivate, which is just right for him to expand his power and accumulate money.
But now, Ziqing has drawn their money from the bottom of the kettle, and the only thing they can do is to find the emperor and eliminate this disobedient eunuch.
For example, the merit is high and the lord is shocked, such as contempt for the emperor, contempt for the law, rebellion, etc., but all the crimes that can be thought of are pressed on Ziqing's head.
Any one of them is a heinous crime of the Nine Clans.
It's a pity that no matter what kind of advice and bitter advice they used this time, the emperor actually burned all the piled up music in front of them.
They also tried to unite all the forces and carry out the forced palace.
It's a pity that those forces have just started to stir up and have been dismantled That's when they felt the real panic.
Ziqing carried out a thorough cleanup of the entire country with a unique high-profile approach that overrode the law, the court, and even the emperor in a decisive way that overrode the law, the court, and even the emperor.
Ziqing is an understanding person, and the reason why he can go so smoothly is absolutely related to having a stable rear.
Ziqing felt very relieved that the emperor had always firmly held the military power in his own hands, and there were still a few loyal generals who were loyal and had their own firm principles and were not carried away by the interests of the party.
So, no matter how these people stumble and pry, they don't take any restrictive actions against themselves.
And for those officials who only know the Bagu article and talk about the war on paper, they have no military power, they only have their own "family members" at most, and they can't compete with Jinyiwei after all.
Moreover, Ziqing's current skills and golden fingers are enough to allow her to walk sideways in this world that is still in the era of cold weapons.
However, there is a certain bottom line in everything she does, and she doesn't want this world with complete laws to carry too much murder.
That's why we will adopt the method of substituting work for crime and make a peaceful transition.
The imperial capital was in a state of extreme panic.
In this imperial capital, where a window lattice can fall and hit several third-grade officials of the imperial court, there is a very magical interpersonal relationship model, whether it is hostility or friends, but the in-law relationship between each other is intertwined.
So on the one hand, they are inferior to each other internally, and at the same time, they have always had an incomparable sense of superiority and rejection externally.
It used to be a big problem that gave the emperor a headache, but without these ministers, the country is not a country, the king is not a king, and the king is built on the subjects.
Therefore, even though the government is the biggest problem, dozens of dynasties that have been happy to pass on thousands of years have been passed down from generation to generation.
Well, there is also the eunuch civilization.
And now, for the people of the imperial capital, all the once prosperous and extravagant, high-class high society superiority is gone.
Because they have not received additional "offerings" for more than a year in a row.
Without the offering silver harvested from the side, how could he support such a large family with only that little bit of grain of more than 100 stone per year, so the entire big family fell into an extremely difficult situation.
It has even reached the point of selling property, jewelry, shops, land, etc. to maintain daily expenses.
But this is not a matter after all, so I had to dismiss some of the miscellaneous servants, but there are still so many aunts, concubines, and family members, and they don't say that they need to give monthly money, food and clothing.
In the end, even this could not be guaranteed, so more servants were dismissed, and the aunts and concubines, who could once be called "masters", were allowed to play the role of slaves.
Of course, they were originally minions, but they were still half masters in decent homes.
And now they are completely reduced to slaves.
There is no spare money to support their so-called "rules", and the rules will naturally fall apart.
Moving from a system to a new rule, panic is inevitable.

So there was a scene in front of Ziqing that Ziqing saw.
Tsk, Ziqing never thought that there would be so many "ministers" in such an imperial city.
Zi Jing looked at the kneeling people outside the imperial city, and was very stunned She subconsciously glanced at Zhu Qi, and Zhu Qi happened to look at her as well, and said indifferently: "These are the ministers and officials in the imperial capital. ” Ziqing couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked a very idiotic question, "What are they kneeling here doing on this cold day?"
