I want to ruin the country

Peng Yunzhang blinked his eyes and said,

"Your Majesty, which Imperial Master said this? It's a bit absurd!

"Not being able to see your family for your entire life, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing!"

Yining really wanted to go over and kick him. What nonsense are you talking about? I fucking say it’s true.

He glared,

"This is the first time I've heard of it. Does hearing it for the first time mean it doesn't exist?

The world is so big and full of wonders. Isn't it possible that you, Lord Peng, are so ignorant?

This is the first time I've heard it. If I hear it again, it's the second time, right?

"Everything in the universe has yin and yang, and they interact with each other. What's so strange about that? You know that, don't you?"

Peng Yunzhang was a little confused by the sudden criticism. He didn't say anything, so why was the emperor so angry?

No matter how stupid Peng Yunzhang was, he knew that a hero would not suffer a loss in front of him, and the hero in front of him was a real hero. If he wanted to make him fall, he only needed one word.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows!"

Yining rolled his eyes and said,

"That's it. For the safety of Consultant Zhang's family and the well-being of their descendants, this is how it's done!"

Peng Yunzhang wanted to speak, but Yining continued,

"It's not easy for them to come to the capital. You can arrange for them to have a good time in the capital for a few days, and you will reimburse the expenses."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yining said again,

"Well, when you leave, give them some money so they can go home and live their lives!"

After a while, he seemed to feel a little bit reluctant, and said in a slower tone,

"Tell them that Consultant Zhang will return to reunite with them in thirty years!"

Having said that, if Peng Yunzhang continues to be stubborn, he would be ignorant of the current situation. So he had no choice but to ask,

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, how much silver do you want?"

Yining Road,

"Thirty thousand or fifty thousand is fine, one hundred thousand or eighty thousand is fine, even a few hundred thousand is fine too. That's your business, I don't care!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

When Peng Yunzhang heard that the emperor was really generous, he wondered if he was feeling guilty.

Zhang Xiang was delighted. He looked at Yining and thought to himself, it seems that feudal superstition is not always a bad thing. He could even think of such a vicious trick!

Yining asked,

"Where are Wu Meiling and her father?"

Zhang Xiangdao,

"It's right next door!"

"How many people are there in your team?"

Zhang Xiangdao,

"About fifty or sixty."

Yining Road,

“I think it’s far from enough!”

"why?"

Yining Road,

“I think you should get a team of 500 to 600 people, or even 1,000 to 2,000 people, and set up a social science academy.

You are responsible for coming up with ideas, providing them with information, and letting them develop freely!"

Zhang Xiang thought about it and it made sense.

"You're right. No wonder I felt exhausted and it still felt slow. I was too self-righteous!"

Yining Road,

“Find talents in all aspects and trust them!”

"it is good!"

Yining ordered,

"Call Wu Meiling and his father over to meet him!"

After a while, Wu Meiling and her father Wu Chongzhi came over.

"Meet the Emperor!"

Yining Road,

"Master Wu, are you getting used to life in the capital?"

Wu Chongzhi was an old scholar, a true scholar who would not be sour and servile. He replied,

"My family is still used to it. Thank you for your concern!"

Yining asked again,

"How knowledgeable is Advisor Zhang?"

Wu Chongzhi raised his thumbs up.

"Advisor Zhang is a man of extraordinary talent. It is a blessing for the Emperor, the people, and the nation that our dynasty has such a great fortune!"

Yining asked Wu Meiling again,

"What is the character of Consultant Zhang?"

Wu Meiling said openly,

"Consultant Zhang is a man of good character and knowledge. Meiling admires him very much!"

Yining Road,

"Sir Wu, I would like to arrange a marriage between Advisor Zhang and your daughter. What do you think?"

Wu Chongzhi had long seen that his daughter and Zhang Xiang were in love with each other. He also admired Zhang Xiang's talent very much. How could he not be satisfied?

"Your Majesty, I will leave it to you!"

Yining Road,

"Well, I will grant Advisor Zhang a house and 10,000 taels of silver as a wedding fund for both parties. Preparations will begin today.

Ten days later is an auspicious day, which is also the auspicious day for the opening of the first royal restaurant in the capital.

Zhang Xiang and Wu Meiling were married at the Royal Restaurant according to imperial decree!"

When Peng Yunzhang saw the situation, he understood everything.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are so evil. In order to make Wu Meiling marry Consultant Zhang, you even told a huge lie to fool someone else's wife.

But he couldn't figure out why the emperor did this no matter how hard he tried.

He thought Zhang Xiang was the ungrateful Chen Shimei, but he never expected that Zhang Xiang was the real Chen Shimei. It was even more unfair to say that he was ungrateful than Dou E!

After the imperial conference, the court issued an edict.

What this means is that the population of the capital is now exploding, "the number of households is increasing day by day, and there are many people waiting for food. There is no extra money to provide for them, and there is no extra land in the capital to accommodate them."

In order to ease the pressure of population growth in the capital, the emperor built 50,000 new houses in each county of Tongzhou, Shunyi, Huairou, Miyun, Changping, Yanqing, Fangshan and Daxing, and called on the bannermen to move to various places.

Those who moved to the designated residence before the beginning of winter were given ten mu of land and ten taels of silver as a subsidy.

Those who fail to move by the deadline will have all their bannerman treatment cancelled and their status will be the same as that of the Han people.

The government also issued a notice.

The above is about the murder case of Hailanjiang.

Hailanjiang was sentenced to immediate execution, Hou Er was sentenced to slicing, and the other two servants in Hailanjiang's family were also sentenced to beheading.

The notice specifically stated,

Hou Er was skinned alive, and the two servants who helped their master were beheaded, in order to warn those who assisted the tyrant and created trouble out of nothing.

From now on, people like this will be severely punished!

Many Bannermen were indignant after reading the notice!

What's wrong with the emperor? He just killed a Han Chinese. Is it necessary to behead him? At most, he will be fined more silver.

What surprised them even more was that not only was Hailanjiang beheaded, but the government notice also stated that Hailanjiang's family needed to compensate Yu Tiechui and his wife with a certain amount of silver.

This includes: 300 taels of silver for each of Qi Erjie and her husband, totaling 600 taels of silver.

Compensate two people for funeral expenses of 20 taels each, totaling 40 taels.

Yu Tiechui's father was killed and he was required to pay 200 taels of silver as compensation and 20 taels of silver for funeral expenses, totaling 220 taels.

Compensate Yu Tiechui's mother with 200 taels of mental damages.

Pay 200 taels of compensation to Qi Erjie's parents for mental damages.

Compensation for child support of 396 taels (2 taels per month until the child reaches 18 years of age).

Compensate the child with 100 taels of money for mental damages.

Compensation for Yu Tiechui's mother's support for 24 years, 720 taels per year, totaling taels.

Compensate Qi Erjie's parents with maintenance of 30 taels each per year, for a total of 720 taels over years.

Sister Qi's death was suicide, and it was her own fault. No compensation will be awarded.

In the end, Hailanjiang's family needed to pay 3196 taels of silver as compensation.

Moreover, the notice also clearly explained why the money had to be compensated.

"boom"

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the entire capital was in an uproar!

For the bannermen and royal family, killing someone and paying with their life was already unbelievable, but they also had to pay nearly four thousand taels of silver as compensation. Why?
