"All the private means of plundering that I just mentioned can't be realized as long as the Yellow Book is complete and the review is effective! For example, as long as the supervisors we review have a little common sense, they will find the problem: poverty

It is possible for a household to save for many years and buy one or two acres of good farmland, but how is it possible for fifty poor households to collectively purchase land, and each household to buy an acre of land at the same time by such a coincidence? As long as the supervisor raises doubts, and then asks the local county government to provide red money

Qi. There is no way to hide this splash!

Another example is the dead mail. Assume that this dead mail occurred in the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, when the supervisors were reviewing the yellow books sent by the county in the thirty year of Wanli. As long as they have a sound yellow book of the twentieth year of Wanli in hand, the two comparisons will be compared.

You will find out next. Of those four extinct households, two of them died in the eighteenth year of Wanli. How could they come out to buy land again in the twenty-eighth year of Wanli?

Another example is forcibly changing the upper household to the middle household, and the lower household to the middle household. As long as the Huang Register is alive, you will find that the two brothers of the lower household have indeed married, but the Yellow Register ten years ago shows that one just had a daughter.

One of them has no heirs yet. How could it be possible that after ten years, five or six young men would suddenly appear in the family...

Therefore, in the past, Emperor Taizu took great pains to compile the yellow book. In addition to making it easier for the country to collect taxes to support the state, it also effectively protected the good people who paid taxes and served the country honestly. As long as the yellow book is there over the years and the review is effective, those who are peeing at night can

You can’t act recklessly!”

Taking a rough breath, she sat down and took a sip of tea to calm down. Lu Fengyi stood up again: "Corrupt officials, treacherous subordinates, and unruly tyrants. Everyone regards the yellow book as their enemy. In the officialdom,

The Nanjing Imperial College repeatedly appealed to improve the treatment of the students who entered the lake, but the officials in Gonggun ignored it. The Yellow Register repeatedly begged, asking for separate expenditures, but no one responded. In the past hundred years, the quality of the Yellow Register has continued to decline, and delivery in various places

The time for the yellow list is getting later and later. Although the emperor has repeatedly issued strict orders to severely punish the officials involved, the court has never been able to use the same methods as Taizu in the past to deter them... As the saying goes, the best way to get the law is from the top.

The imperial court treated the officials in charge of Huang Ce and the review supervisors in this way. Local officials at all levels began to neglect Huang Ce. Gradually, officials at all levels focused on Huang Ce... more

Crazy local officials, in order to facilitate their future bribery, simply mixed rice milk and honey into paper pulp to make yellow books! Such yellow books were all eaten up in less than half a year after being put into storage. In this way, local officials are doing

In the next ten years, they will be able to act unscrupulously when they are on the yellow roll, and the subordinate officials and bullies in the countryside will be able to oppress good people at will!"

"It's time to rebel against these bastards! Young master, let's ask the emperor to bear all the expenses of Huang Ceku and Jiansheng. The top day is only 10,000 taels a year, and our Xinghua Palace can completely afford it.

!If the emperor is right, I am willing to donate half of my annual salary."

"Wang Chengen, please sit down first." After waving his hand for Wang Chengen to sit down, Zhu Youdong stood up, refilled Lu Fengyi's water again and said: "Old sir, we already know who Huang Ce's enemy is. Huang Ce has lost control and is attacking Xiaomin.

We understand the harm. Can you please talk about the harm to the country from the overall situation of the out-of-control pornography?"

"Yes, the common people obey." After bowing respectfully, Lu Fengyi cleared her throat: "The common people can give a few examples to His Highness. In the 31st year of Jiajing, the yellow book submitted by Xinghua County of Yangzhou Prefecture contained 11,111

There are more than 1,000 households, including more than 3,700 households, and the heads of the households are each over 100 years old. Do you believe it?"

After letting out a sad laugh, Lu Fengyi said again: "Caomin has worked in the Yellow Book Library for many years and once compared yellow books from different years in the same area. The problem here is even bigger. For example, the military yellow book from the sixth year of Longqing shows that,

The number of households in Funing Prefecture, Fujian Province, was two-thirds less than that in the Hongwu period, and the number of Dingkou was three-fifths less. The civil records of the 41st year of Jiajing show that Yingtian Prefecture, where we are now, has a population ratio of

A full half of it was lost during the Zhengde period. Haha, it's really strange. These two places, especially Yingtianfu, are sacred places. In the past hundred years, except for the Japanese pirates who made trouble for a while, they have not encountered any other disasters.

How is it possible that the population has decreased so much? After the yellow registration system got out of control, local wealthy families stole a large number of people through cover-ups, false marriages, escapes, concealment, tampering and other means.

The number of households controlled by this country is getting smaller and smaller, but the taxes of each county will not be reduced. In this way, the government will intensify its oppression of the remaining good people. After that, these good people will either live under the wealthy families, or they will have to abandon everything.

Become a refugee."

At this point, there is no need to go on. Because once this situation occurs widely across the country, anyone with a little knowledge of history will know: This is a standard image of national subjugation!

Lu Fengyi said at the beginning that if he had lived longer, he might have become a subjugated citizen. This was really true: officials in Huang Ceku were the most sensitive to the rise and fall of the country.

The room was eerily quiet, especially the three children Wang Chengen, Zhang Shize and Li Chunzhong. Although as their grandson's companions, they were exposed to many high-level things. But it was still too early for them to face such a cruel scene.

Already.

Not only are these three children afraid, but adults like Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen are also trying their best to control their trembling bodies at this time: As bureaucrats, how come they don’t know that there are many problems in the country. But until today, they didn’t know this

How terrible the problem is.

As for generals like Li Shizhong and Liu Zhaosun, they did not stand up and say stupid things about killing everyone at this time: the household registration is in chaos, even if you are the invincible military god, are you still stronger than Xiang Yu?

"Mr. Lu." After all, he is still a time traveler. Although he has not personally experienced the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty's demise, he has read about it countless times. Therefore, Zhu Youdong's mood at this time is relatively stable: "I wish to rectify the Yellow Book at all costs.

Even if there are thousands of fierce enemies ahead, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, even if you lose your position and die without a burial place, as long as you have one breath left, you will never retreat. Sir, can you teach me?"

"Your Highness!" After paying homage in a formal manner, Lu Fengyi stood up with the support of Zhang Shize and Li Chunzhong: "Your Highness, if you want to rectify the Huang Ce library, you first need to rectify the personnel of the Huang Ce library. Over the years, because Huang Ce has always been unpopular,

Officials in the treasury, petty officials and even those who work as supervisors in the lake have long lost the momentum they once had to defend the foundation of the country. They have degenerated into cowards even worse than the petty officials in the countryside!"

"how do I say this?"

"Your Highness, the various expenses of the Huangce Library have been shared by Jiangning and Shangyuan counties for many years since Xuande. As there are more and more yellow records in the Huangce Library, the required expenses are getting higher and higher. So that Jiangning,

The two counties of Shangyuan were also miserable. As a result, the relevant fees were often not delivered in time, and Huang Ceku officials and supervisors often suffered from cold and hunger. As a last resort, Huang Ceku thought of a way to make money."

"Well, during the review by the Yellow Register Library, if it is found that the Yellow Register sent by the local government is incorrect, in addition to ordering the local government to review and redo it, it will also impose a fine?"

"Your Majesty, there is no one who is more intelligent than me. But as soon as this case started, not only did the local people not feel dissatisfied, they were very happy to deliberately make mistakes in the yellow book."

"Hey, that's right. They can use this to distribute money to the people."

"Your Highness, if an yamen that is mainly responsible for cleansing, auditing and keeping can be established because of the little power in its hands, then this yamen will inevitably decay. It will no longer have the integrity to defend the country's roots like the founding of the country. So.

, the current Huangceku... I don’t know what your Highness thinks of the officials there today when he went to Huangceku. At least when Caomin was in office, the conduct of the officials who specifically managed there was really not worth mentioning. "

"I understand. To rectify Huangce, we should start by rectifying the atmosphere of the yamen in Huangceku."

"That's right." At this point, Lu Fengyi hesitated for a moment, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, please dare me to tell you something secret again."

"Secret? No problem, just tell it here."

"This... okay. Your Highness, Huang Ceku says it is protecting the country's foundation. But in fact, it has very little power. Your Highness, think about it, the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing has often been unable to make ends meet in the past hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. Now Huang Ceku, a small government office, has been punished wrongly.

With a huge amount of income, why don’t all the departments with real power come to ask for it?”

"Mr. Lu, what you want to say is that if you touch Huang Ceku alone, it will affect the whole body?"

"More than that." Lu Fengyi simply knelt down after saying this: "Your Highness, let alone the major powerful departments, even the royal family is eyeing this money. In the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing, Emperor Sejong issued an order to give Huang Ce

He asked Huang Ceku to withdraw 17,878 taels of silver and transfer it to the Nanjing Weaving eunuch so that Nanjing Weaving could purchase imperial uniforms, rear uniforms and other items for Emperor Sejong. When this happened, Cao Min happened to be in charge

The Nanjing Household Affairs Bureau was in charge of the Huangce Treasury. And the people clearly remember that at that time, there happened to be seventeen thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight two hundred and two cents and eight cents in fines in the Huangce Treasury."

Zhu Houcong! It belongs to your uncle!

Even if other yamen are targeting Huang Ceku, how can you, the emperor, target Huang Ceku? This is the foundation of the country, and it is also the basis for whether the descendants of the Zhu family can continue to be the emperor!

Later generations of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties compiled the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and said that the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli. This was actually putting a blame on Wanli. The Ming Dynasty embarked on the road to national subjugation. In Zhu Youdong's view, the root of the Ming Dynasty still lies with Ming Shizong Zhu Houcon.

This bastard who was extremely selfish and only thought about how to succeed in cultivating immortality so that he could live forever. He ruined the stable triangular balance of the emperor, cabinet, and ceremonial supervisors in the Ming Dynasty. He also ruined the stable finances of the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years. The Japanese pirates invaded the Southeast.

Wreaking havoc in the northwest, let Anda Khan become bigger... This guy actually does something that has no position and no lower limit?

This is the fact. Jiajing drove the Ming Dynasty towards the direction of subjugation. After that, except for Zhang Juzheng who tried his best to pull back the broken car of the Ming Dynasty, all the emperors of the past dynasties, Longqing, Wanli, Tianqi... all
Chapter completed!
