Chapter 117 Full of Pots

So after such a toss, after the harvest came up, even Xiao Tianjian was shocked. Others didn't say anything. With his understanding of history, the first one to do it was Zhou Kui, Chongzhen's father-in-law. From Zhou Kui's home alone, his house raiding team copied more than 1.3 million taels of silver and more than 70,000 taels of gold. Two, there are nearly 10,000 pieces of other valuable calligraphy and paintings and jade jewelry. The value is initially estimated. Even in this troubled times, these things are worth more than one million taels of silver. In addition, there are land deeds of thousands of hectares of land annexed by the Zhou family around Beijing. In addition to these valuables, the gendarmes are still in his mansion and copy them out. There are thousands of stones of all kinds of grain, most of which are old grain, and even many of them have become moldy. There are also thousands of silk and satins. It can be seen that Zhou Kui is so stingy. People starve to death every day outside his big house, and this man would rather let the grain be moldy in his warehouse than take it out a little. Go to relieve the hungry people in the city.

At the beginning, Chongzhen asked him for a few times for a rate. This man was like an iron rooster. Now it's better. As soon as Xiao Tianjian came, he immediately cut off more than 100 people in his family, except for women and children. With the power of Chongzhen, all the family property he had searched for so many years was given to Xiao for nothing. Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian almost turned over from the dragon chair with a smile, looked at this list, and scolded damn it.

In addition, Cao Huachun, who surrendered, knew that he was not immune. In order to find a way to live, he also handed over all his private property. He alone, an eunuch, handed over 350,000 taels of silver. The rest of the eunuchs were ignorant and had no money. As a result, he was denounced by Cao Huachun. After raiding the house, they were all copied. A huge amount of property.

So although this kind of action is limited to a very small range, the harvest is very rich, but it is somewhat regrettable for Xiao Tianjian that compared with the original expected harvest of 50 million taels of silver, now because the scope of the house is greatly limited, the amount of silver that has been copied and the amount of gold is only It has only reached more than 30 million taels, and there is not even more than half of Li Zicheng's silver in Beijing in history. It can be seen that a large amount of wealth has been precipitated in the capital.

However, Xiao Tianjian doesn't feel too sorry. After all, he is different from Li Zicheng. Although he urgently needs these yellow and white things to enrich the national treasury, he knows that everything must be limited. In this list of house raids, after careful consideration, some rich officials are not included in the scope of house raids. There is no other reason. Although this group of people have also made a lot of money, for example, some ministers such as Fan Jingwen, the bachelor, Ni Yuanlu, the minister of the Ministry of Household, Li Banghua, the imperial historian of Zuodu, Wu Linzheng, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and Wu Ganlai in the Ministry of Household Affairs, have not been included in the scope of raiding the family. There are also many of these people. They are very rich, but relatively speaking, they are still relatively capable people, and they have a great influence among scholars. Once they are also beheaded, it will have a negative impact on the governance of the Greater China and the North Korea in the future, so as to affect the harvest.

Xiao Tianjian doesn't feel sorry for this. He asked for money but was not lost his mind by gold and silver **. He knew very well that this kind of thing must be limited to a certain range. Otherwise, no matter how much money he made, he might pay a greater price in the future.

However, although there is less gold and silver copied at present, it does not mean that the harvest will be less than Li Zicheng. In addition to yellow and white things, they have also copied a large number of things such as writing, play, calligraphy and painting. The value of these things will actually be more than those real gold and silver in the future. As long as the value is settled in China in the future, there will be more and more people collecting these things. This is the truth of collecting gold and silver in troubled times. As long as he can return the world to a peace, it is expected that as long as these things are put on the market in the future, they will bring huge income to China and North Korea in the future. At that time I'm afraid that the gold and silver converted from these things will be far more than ten times or even a hundred times the gold and silver harvested now.

After the local steamed buns like Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin entered Beijing, they only stared at the yellow and white things and did not know the value of these things at all. Many calligraphy and paintings that can be regarded as treasures were even burned by them in large numbers. This is a great damage to Chinese culture, but compared with it, Xiao Tian Jian pays more attention to the value of these things such as calligraphy, painting and antiques, not to mention how much these things are worth. The cultural value they contain cannot be measured by gold and silver for future generations.

And not only these things. Through this large-scale raid, they also confiscated thousands of houses of these bastards in Beijing. Take Nanjing as an example. In the future, these properties will also bring a huge amount of wealth to China and North Korea after they are put on the market.

So, the yellow and white things that have not been copied at present are not as good as what Li Zicheng has gained in history, but in fact, the value of the things that Xiao Tianjian has harvested has long exceeded the 70 million taels of silver.

Looking at this list, Xiao Tianjian finally breathed a long sigh of relief. With more than 30 million taels of gold and silver at the bottom, there will be no more financial difficulties in the short term. After the money is invested in the resumption of basic production in the future, the benefits will be a hundred times that, and these yellow and white Everything will not flow to society in the future, but will be transferred to the Bank of China to reserve, issue more dragon banknotes, gradually stabilize and establish the credit of dragon banknotes, establish a new financial system, and completely end the current situation of cash transactions popular in Daming.

So this time Xiao Tianjian won the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which not only destroyed the Ming Dynasty, which had ruled the country for nearly 300 years, but also obtained a relatively sufficient economic foundation and laid a solid foundation for future development. To put it worse, it was just a lot of money.

With the capture of Beijing, Xiao Tianjian also faced a major choice. When he established the Great China Dynasty in Nanjing City, he did not officially announce the positioning of Nanjing City as the capital of the Great China Dynasty. For this reason, the DPRK has long been controversial about the establishment of the capital. A large number of people believe that the Great China Dynasty can completely take Nanjing. The city is designated as the capital of the country, and there is no need to choose the capital of the country in Beijing. After all, Beijing is too close to Guanwai, and it is easy to be threatened by Mongolians and slaves outside the customs. Once the capital is set in Beijing, the strategic depth is too shallow, and the safety of Beijing will not be guaranteed, and there is still a climate after decades of war in the north. Xiang, whether it is population, agriculture or commerce, it has been greatly damaged. If the capital is Beijing, it is also like the Ming Dynasty, it has to rely on the support of the south to the north. It is a huge burden to maintain such a large amount of transportation, so the demand of the dynasty and China for the capital of Nanjing is very high.

There are also some ministers who think that it is better to set the capital of Beijing. After all, after more than 200 years of operation of Daming, Beijing City has been quite prosperous, and it is fixed in Beijing. It can take advantage of political convenience to restore northern agriculture, industry and commerce faster, which is also convenient. Attracting more refugees fleeing from the south to return to the north to settle down, it is easier to attract the rich people in the south to migrate to the north.

Xiao Tianjian had learned about these two opinions before the establishment of the Great Central Dynasty last year, but he has not made a decision for a long time. In his opinion, this kind of debate is still good for him to rule the country in the future. It is impossible for him to establish a word in the Great Central Dynasty, and everything is up to him. In that case, he will be exhausted. He will probably be busy, especially in the handling of government affairs. He thinks that even if he has some knowledge of future generations, he can't be called a very qualified administrator, and many things in this era are different from future generations. Many systems in future generations cannot be transferred. In this era, otherwise, it will not only have a good effect on governing the country, but also cause greater chaos.

To put it mildly, it is that the step cannot be too big, otherwise, the step is too big and it is easy to get the egg. Therefore, although Xiao Tianjian knows what direction the world will develop in the future, at least now is not the time to fully implement the systems of future generations, but more imperceptibly. Step by step, gradually guide the country and develop in the right direction, until one day, a new political system will be established in this country.

In the past, Xiao Tianjian could have ignored the matter of the capital, but after he took Beijing, he had to face this matter. Therefore, when he was in Beijing for a few days, all kinds of things were still mixed, the scholars who stayed in Nanjing began to send people to send memorials to congratulate Xiao Tianjian on his fight. In Beijing, the other side also began to move to negotiate the capital.

However, after thinking about it for some time, Xiao Tianjian still did not finally confirm this matter, but temporarily ordered Lu Xiangsheng to take the position of director of the Supervision Institute, take the position of governor of Beizhili, temporarily sit in Shuntianfu, and be responsible for cleaning up the mess in the area of Beizhili. As for the matter of fixing the capital, he thought it would be decided later.

Although Chongzhen is dead and the Ming Dynasty can be declared annihilated so far, there is another very important thing that has not been implemented for Xiao Tianjian, that is, Chongzhen's three sons, Prince Zhu Cixuan, Dingwang Zhu Cijiong and Yongwang Zhu Cizhao, but there has been no news after the army captured Beijing. For this reason, after Xiao Tianjian entered Beijing, he ordered the special affairs office of the Ministry of War under the jurisdiction of Feng Weihan to trace the whereof of these three people.

However, it has been ten days since he entered Beijing, but these three people still have no news, which makes Xiao Tianjian quite uneasy.

Although the oldest prince, Zhu Cixuan, is only thirteen years old, and Zhu Cizhao, the youngest Yongwang, is only six years old, their identity has nothing to do with age. No matter who they are, it is undoubtedly a blockbuster time bomb for Dazhong Dynasty. Once they are allowed to escape to the south, they will immediately They were helped up by the officials of the Ming Dynasty who had not yet submitted themselves to the Dazhong Dynasty and set up a small court. Once this is the case, they can undoubtedly condense the remnants of the old Ming Dynasty and continue to fight against the Dazhong Dynasty.

Although Xiao Tianjian is not worried about not being able to deal with the southern provinces, after all, a unified south, compared with the separate southern provinces, once they are allowed to establish a recognized small court, it will cause great trouble for the unification of the south in the next step.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian has been paying attention to this matter these days, in addition to being busy "plundering the family and money". In addition, on July 20, the third day he entered Beijing, as the emperor of Dazhong, he officially announced the death of Emperor Chongzhen, and officially announced the Ming Dynasty. The destruction.
