Jiajing was talking there, and Yan Song and the others quickly said that they didn't dare. Jiajing said these words very seriously. If they wanted to check the old accounts before, it would be fatal. It is estimated that 80% of the officials in the court, including those who died, would need to make trouble. In this case, there would be no officials in the court in the future.

"Don't you dare? Don't they dare? You still say you don't dare? I'm surprised that I didn't spend so much money last year, there were so many disasters last year, and there were still people's rebellion,

This year, there are no people in the world who rebelled, and there are no major natural disasters. The Tatars dare not come over on the border, and the Oirat dare not come over. They still spend so much, and they are still staring at the salt and tariff money? Well? When did I tighten the money from the Ministry of Revenue? When did the Ministry of Revenue need money? I haven't approved it, but I am still staring at the money? They are so brave!" Jiajing sat there and said angrily.

Yan Song and the others were all standing there, lowering their heads.

"Let's talk about this? What should I do? After checking everything, I will check all the previous accounts. In addition, how should those arrested officials deal with it? And how can I warn future generations?" Jiajing stared at them and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, these corrupt officials have been arrested now, so the punishment is just that, if you continue to investigate the previous accounts, many officials will probably have trouble, which will cause unstable courts at that time.

What I mean is to warn and look at the subsequent results of those officials. There were many vacancies in the six ministries. Some of them were just added this year. If you continue to investigate now, you may be short of officials again. Moreover, there are also lack of officials in the local area. If you continue to draw from the local area, it may be difficult!" Yan Song stood there and bowed to Jiajing.

"Well, what do you mean is, the previous accounts, forget it, those corrupt officials will put them in the pocket for security?" Jiajing stared at Yan Song and asked.

"Your Majesty, what Master Yan means is that those corrupt officials who have been corrupt in recent years have been corrupt before, and now they are probably corrupt. So many problems have been found this year and those officials have been arrested. It can be seen that they are the same before. If they continue to investigate the previous accounts, they may still be those people. Of course, some people will definitely be added. However, now there are not so many talents in our court!" Xu Jie immediately bowed to Jiajing and said!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I mean that. The people found out this time must have more than that little money for the people who were searching for their houses. After all, I heard that a lot of people need to be arrested!" Yan Song immediately said to Jiajing. He actually didn't know how much he was to be arrested, but he heard that people were arresting people outside now.

"More than 200 people are to be arrested!" Jiajing said to Yan Song.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if so many people were arrested, and now there are three to five million taels of silver in the account, but if the house is confiscated, there will definitely be more than these. Therefore, Your Majesty, now you have to consider whether there will be so many officials in the court after you go to court next year. There are so many officials missing from the six ministries, but no one will work!" Yan Song said to Jiajing again,

Zhou Yan and the others didn't dare to speak at all. They hadn't fully understood what Jiajing meant, so they didn't dare to follow up. After hearing this, Jiajing sat there thinking, but in fact he didn't think about it. He just wanted to listen to them continue and see what their thoughts were.

"Your Majesty, since this matter has been investigated, it must be strictly punished. Our cabinet joined forces with the six ministries to report it out and warn us to the officials of the Ming Dynasty to do things for the people. If they dare to continue to be corrupt, they will be punished strictly without mercy!" Yan Song continued to look at Jiajing and said, but Jiajing still didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, this is the money for salt and tariffs. What I mean is that Your Majesty is still continuing to supervise. There are indeed many problems with the Ministry of Revenue. After all, there are so much money, many people are very moved when they see it!" Xu Jie continued to look at Jiajing and said.

Yan Song also reacted at this moment and said to Jiajing: "Yes, Your Majesty, this money still needs supervision!"

When Zhou Yan heard this, he also reacted and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, I agree!"

At this time, the other people nodded quickly.

"Well, the tariffs and salt money. I said that I need to use this money to purchase land. The money is paid by the people. I use the land to return it to the people. In this way, the people can support the family and will not think about rebellion.

Now, how much of the land in the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the people? How many are in the hands of those big landlords, officials, nobles, and royals. I am going to take out a part of the land of the royal family in various places and give it to the people to plant!

I hope that everyone in the Ming Dynasty will have one acre of land as the bottom line. Now, it only takes less than 30 million mu of acres, and there is still a 70 million mu of vacancies. The royal family is estimated to be able to take out 6 million mu of land, but the difference is still very big. The tariffs and salt money are only less than 4 million mu of land a year. It is estimated that it will take 20 years to complete these things. I have also prepared 20 years to do this!" Jiajing sat there and said, and he arranged the money in this way.

"Your Majesty is wise!" They immediately bowed and said,

I thought to myself that it would take so many years. More than 200 officials were searched this time. They had a lot of land in their family, which was estimated to exceed hundreds of thousands or even millions of acres. There was also the money for the search, so I guess they could buy a lot!

"Since you agree, you need to announce it. In the future, these two items of money will be used for purchasing land, okay?" Jiajing stared at them and asked. He hoped to confirm this matter so that he would not continue to be remembered by the ministers in the future. He did not want this.

"Yes!" the ministers nodded again.

"Then you continue to issue official documents!" Jiajing said, and they nodded again.

"What should I do if I just need those officials?" Jiajing asked as he looked at them.

"Your Majesty, just deal with it according to my Ming law!" Zhou Yan immediately spoke. He was the chief censor and knew the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

"What do you mean?" Jiajing immediately looked at the other ministers.

They nodded immediately and agreed to deal with this. It would be impossible to disagree. Now Jiajing is going to get back the old accounts. I don’t know how many people will be unlucky at that time, so now they nodded.

"Okay, since that's the case, that's fine. You need to explain to the ministers about the subsequent matters. They are corrupt and have a warning meaning, rather than arresting batch after batch. The Censorate also needs to achieve results. This year, the local government has dealt with several officials, huh?" Jiajing stared at Zhou Yan and continued to ask.

"This seems to have investigated and dealt with 11 people!" Zhou Yan didn't know what Jiajing meant, but Yan Song felt a thrill. Did Jiajing start to investigate local officials? If that's the case, then the lives of those officials next year will be sad?

"With so many officials in the local area, do you believe that only 11 people have problems? The Ministry of Revenue does not investigate and there is nothing. Once it is investigated, if such a big problem occurs, the officials in the local area are so good?

How many of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue were promoted from the local area? Last year, there were only one of the nine county magistrates in Shuntian Prefecture, and there was no problem with one. Can the censors from the Censorate be able to do it?" Jiajing stared at Zhou Yan and said very sternly.

"Yes, I will definitely supervise them after I go back. Please rest assured by your Majesty!" Zhou Yan immediately bowed and said.

"Well, next year, I will check some prefectures. Let's check it first. They are directly facing the people. How the people view our Ming Dynasty, the officials of those prefectures have a direct impact!" Jiajing stared at Zhou Yan and the others and said,

After hearing this, they all nodded. There was no way for Jiajing to investigate the case. Who would dare to object? He just said that when the time comes, if Zhang Hao still investigates the case, it would be troublesome. If other officials go to investigate, there is still room for operation, so now they just need to figure out this matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can ask the Censorate to send someone to investigate next year!" Yan Song immediately followed the topic and said, with the purpose of temptation.

"I've talked about this matter next year. I haven't figured out what places to check!" Jiajing said, and they nodded immediately.

On Zhang Hao's side, a large number of officials were arrested on the Jinyiwei's side, and their families. Zhang Hao was sitting at the door of the prison cell and watching. When the officials and their families saw Zhang Hao, they did not dare to speak at all, and they did not dare to say anything to resent Zhang Hao.

This is the territory of the Jinyiwei, Zhang Hao, and it was also because of the account. If Zhang Hao had not found their problems, would he arrest them?

"Sir, the officials in the capital have been arrested now, and some have been transferred out. Now they are sending people to arrest them. It is estimated that it will take time. The mansions at those families are already being searched, and accounts will probably come soon!" Liu Yunhai said to Zhang Hao.

"Interrogate overnight, transfer all their files and pass them one by one according to the records inside, so as not to say that we will catch them randomly!" Zhang Hao sat there and spoke.

"Yes, sir, but there is no need. I don't know what they did. They don't dare to be arrogant in front of you, sir!" Liu Yunhai said to Zhang Hao with a smile.
