Time travel to the 12-year-old Chongzhen Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang. Faced with the inevitable situation of running away from the treasury and being a miser among all the officials, he realizes:
To save Ming Dynasty, being a benevolent king is a dead end! You must be more greedy than corrupt officials and more ruthless than ruthless bandits!
As a result, a double-faced prince appeared in the Ming Dynasty: during the day, he was the obedient and benevolent prince in the Wenhua Palace; at night, he put on a bronze mask and transformed into the frightened "nine thousand years old" underground in the capital!
Lack of military funds? He backhandedly kidnapped the grandson of the chief minister, extorted 100,000 taels and threw it to Lu Xiangsheng: "Take it and practice it to death!"
Afraid of establishing slaves? He monopolizes private brothels and forms a ghost army that only listens to "money" orders!
Punish the traitor? The whole family of the collaborating minister disappeared overnight, and his head was hung on the city gate, leaving only a "receipt".
Dorgon collapsed: "I'm not afraid of the Ming army, I'm just afraid of the madman in the shadows who wants to buy my head!" Chongzhen was confused: "Your Majesty, the treasury is full, but how come the civil and military forces of the dynasty have decreased?" Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly: "Father, this is called - asset reorganization."
