Chapter 287 Three years of running accounts
"All the private means of plundering that I just mentioned can't be realized as long as the yellow list is sound and the review is effective! For example, as long as the supervisors we review have a little common sense, they will find problems: 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 the dead parasite was born in the twenty-eighth year of Wanli. When the supervisors reviewed 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 that of the 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 yellow registration is still alive, it will be found that the two brothers of the lower household are indeed married, but the yellow registration from ten years ago shows that one has 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 deep breath, Lu Fengyi 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,
In the past, 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 Book Library repeatedly begged, asking for separate expenditures, but no one responded. In the past hundred years, the quality of the Yellow Book has continued to decline, and various places have
The time for handing over the yellow book 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 law can only be obtained from above.
Among them, 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 began to set their sights on Huang Ce...
There are even crazy local officials who, in order to make it easier for them to take bribes in the future, simply mix 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
In the next ten years, you will be able to be unscrupulous when working in the pornographic book, 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 lost control and attacked Xiao Xiao
We also understand the harm to the people. 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 your orders." After bowing respectfully, Lu Fengyi cleared her throat: "The common people can give your Highness a few examples. In the 31st year of Jiajing reign, the yellow book submitted by Xinghua County of Yangzhou Prefecture contained a
There are more than 1,000 households, among which there are 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 been working in the Yellow Register for many years and has compared the Yellow Registers of different years in the same area. The problem here is even bigger. For example, the Military Yellow Register of the Sixth Year of Longqing
It 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 than that in the Hongwu period. The civil records of the 41st year of Jiajing show that it is Yingtian Mansion where we are now, among which
The population has been reduced by half compared to 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 anything else.
Disaster. How could the population decrease so much? After the yellow registration system got out of control, local wealthy families stole a large number of people by means of cover-ups, false marriages, escapes, concealment, tampering, etc.
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!
6 Fengyi said at the beginning that if he had lived longer, he might have become a subjugated citizen. This was really true: officials in Huangceku 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.
.
Not only are these three children afraid, but adults like Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen are also trying their best to control their body shaking 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. 6." 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 will do whatever it takes to rectify the Yellow Book.
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 they have always been unpopular,
, Huang Ceku’s officials, petty officials and even those who went to the lake to supervise students have long lost the momentum of defending the foundation of the country. They have degenerated into cowards even worse than the country officials!”
"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 registration library, if it is found that the yellow registration sent by the local government is wrong, in addition to ordering the local government to review and redo it, there will also be 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 survive 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."
"Secret? No problem, just tell it here."
