I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

During Wu Changqing's lunch break, Sun Yunxuan asked to see him.

Of course Wu Changqing could guess her purpose, but Concubine Shu was one of the few concubines, of course Wu Changqing would not ignore it.

Sun Yunxuan came in with tears in her eyes. As soon as she came in, she hugged Wu Changqing's thigh and knelt in front of Wu Changqing.

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. My uncle is confused and confused. He is too old to bear the torture in the cell."

Sun Yunxuan begged.

"You don't need to worry about this."

Wu Changqing said.

"After all, he is my uncle. I beg Your Majesty to spare his life for the sake of his contribution to Dahua."

Sun Yunxuan said.

"Don't worry, I will save his life, and at most it will be a fine for raiding the house."

"However, the hundreds of people in the Sun family have no money and no livelihood. How can they live?"

Sun Yunxuan continued to cry, it was easy to change from frugality to luxury, and difficult to change from luxury to frugality.

The Sun family, who is accustomed to living a prosperous life, is afraid that many people will starve to death in the future if their home is raided.

After all, in addition to a group of elites in the Sun family, there are also a group of worms who only eat and wait to die. Just like Sun Yunxuan's father, he has almost no ability and is all supported by her uncle.

"Then what do you think? Can you still want him to be acquitted? If I do this, how can the world obey me?"

Wu Changqing snorted coldly.

The royal family enjoys various privileges, and the common people can accept it, as long as it is not excessive.

Just like Sun Daoming used his status as a royal relative to bully the market before, although everyone was upset about this kind of thing, they could bear it.

But if it goes too far and commits such a serious mistake without being punished, it will chill the hearts of the people of the world.

"I beg Your Majesty to give the Sun family another chance, and I will surely persuade them to obey the law in the future."

Sun Yunxuan is still working hard, but unfortunately, she is no longer favored.

If it were Cui Xianghan, who is currently favored, he might be able to act like a spoiled child and let Wu Changqing handle it leniently.

Unfortunately, Sun Yunxuan has no capital.

However, Wu Changqing was never a particularly ruthless person. Seeing that Sun Yunxuan was so pitiful, he couldn't ignore it completely.

So, he said: "I will tell them to not be too harsh when they raid their homes, and leave some money for your family to maintain a decent life.

However, for the sake of fairness, your title of Concubine Shu will be removed. Do you agree or not? "

Wu Changqing gave her a choice. If she was willing to give up her status as Concubine Shu, he would give the Sun family a way out, otherwise she could only do business.

There are only nine places for concubines in total, which is quite precious.

Those women who have not yet received the award are all working hard to serve Wu Changqing and want to get the status of concubine.

Taking Concubine Shu back and rewarding Cui Xianghan is also a reward for Cui Xianghan's efforts.

"Chen and concubine kowtow to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Sun Yunxuan cried and said, she originally wanted to say that a concubine can't do it, after all, Concubine Shu's status is quite noble.

With this status, her monthly bill will be much higher, and other women will respect her more.

And without this status, the income will be much less, and in the circle of the emperor's women, it is more difficult to gain respect.

Sun Yunxuan was quite reluctant, but she had no choice but to agree.

Otherwise, hundreds of Sun's family will live on the streets in the future.

And she, I am afraid, will also be pointed out by thousands of people.

A few days later, the people who should be arrested have basically been arrested, and the results of the trial have basically come to fruition.

This is just an ordinary business case, not a political struggle, and there is no intricate relationship between officials and officials, so most people confessed easily.

In this turmoil, more than 30 officials were involved, but most of them were small officials of the seventh or eighth rank, and the largest fish was only the fifth rank.

They are all people who do specific things. These people use their powers to deceive the top and the bottom, and embezzle and accept bribes.

It is said that Beijing officials are naturally superior to others, which is indeed true.

Officials in Nanjing, even if they are of low rank, often have great power in their hands, and it is very easy to make money.

In this turmoil, the amount of bribes taken by an eighth-rank master bookkeeper was as high as 100,000 yuan, which was a thousand times his annual salary.

Among the thirty-five officials, two principal offenders with serious circumstances were sentenced to death.

They used the power of auditing to list more than 50 shell companies, embezzling more than 5 million yuan in bribes, causing huge losses to the court.

Just raiding the home is far from deterrent.

Of the other thirty-three low-level officials, all were dismissed, twenty of them had their homes searched, some were sentenced to several years in prison, and some were exiled.

There are also thirteen officials, because people are in officialdom and cannot help themselves, and are forced to join forces.

The punishment for these people is relatively light, they are all suspended for probation, all the proceeds of embezzlement are confiscated, and they are fined heavily.

This punishment is quite satisfactory.

And those businessmen who offered bribes gave corresponding penalties according to the amount of bribes, the amount defrauded, and the losses caused.

It was Sun Daoming who committed the most serious crime, but it was not him who was punished the most.

Sun Daoming was sentenced to 20 years in prison and most of his family property was confiscated. Several of the main criminals in the family who participated in the incident were also sentenced to three to five years in prison.

and

Another businessman, Tang Sijin, was sentenced to death and ransacked his house, and his accomplices were severely punished after only listing four shell companies and cashing out more than 8 million yuan.

Even those innocent women were stuffed into the Jiaofang Division.

Only in this way can it be a deterrent. If the owner of the family can bear all the crimes by himself, without affecting his family, I am afraid that more businessmen will choose to take the risk of committing crimes.

Tang Sijin's crime was less severe, but he received a heavier punishment, but the people did not feel that the emperor was partial.

After all, the emperor also removed Concubine Shu and punished Sun Daoming.

In the eyes of Dahua people, this is quite fair.

Other businessmen, depending on the severity of the circumstances, were also punished accordingly.

The main ones are raids and fines.

After this wave, Dahua got an income of 60 million.

This figure shocked Qian Taoli, who was in charge of the statistics of the home raid.

He didn't expect that the upper class of Dahua is now rich to this level.

You must know that this time, only some middle-level roles have been affected, and all those who have been arrested are small officials, and the businessmen who have been punished are not top wealthy families.

But even so, they were able to copy as much as 60 million.

It is conceivable that if you copy the homes of a few high-ranking officials, or the homes of a few top rich people, the gains will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Qian Taoli even showed a wicked smile. He wished that Dahua would do something like this from time to time, which would also make the central government's finances a lot more comfortable.
