Chapter 246 A dog cant change its habit of eating shit
[Note: There was a bug in the previous chapter. Tongxiang County was established by Men Tianzi’s father. It didn’t exist yet, so it was changed to Chongde County. Sorry.]
The third child was also a resolute master. Once he had made up his mind, he immediately left the Golden Lotus Courtyard, changed into a Gun Dragon suit, and entered the Forbidden City with the sixth child before the palace gate closed.
But they did not go to see their father immediately, but turned a corner and came to Wenhua Hall.
In the eyes of the two of them, the prince is the father... Well, there seems to be an ambiguity in saying so. In short, it is completely unimaginable for the two of them to report such outrageous things to the father directly without the eldest brother.
The reason is very simple, if the father wants to beat him, his elder brother will protect him; if the elder brother wants to beat him, the father will not protect him...
In the Wenhua Palace.
The prince had finished his busy day and was about to return to the palace for dinner when he saw his two younger brothers walking in in a hurry.
There is no need for any warning when the younger brothers come to his place.
Zhu Biao stood up with a smile to greet him and said, "It's a good idea for you two to come home. Let's have dinner together at home."
"I can't take care of it anymore, brother." The third child waved his hand for the servants to get down, and then handed over the blank accounting paper.
"..." Zhu Biao took it and took a look. Like Lao Liu, he did not immediately realize the lethality of this piece of paper.
This is not to say that the prince is not as good as Zhu Zhen, but that Lao Liu knows the answer and it will be clear to him when he looks at the question.
However, with Zhu Biao's rich experience in government affairs, he still saw something wrong with this.
This account paper should be used to record the amount of autumn taxes sent by Chongde County to the superior government, that is, Jiaxing Prefecture.
After the prefecture summarizes the tax amount of each county, it reports to the province. The province summarizes the tax amount of each prefecture and then reports it to the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, the Ministry of Revenue can summarize the total autumn tax for the twelve provinces in the country this year.
.
Normally, each county should report its accounts to the government immediately after collecting autumn taxes, and each government should summarize the amounts for each county before October of each year.
It is already the first month of the ninth year of Hongwu. At this time, it should be time for each province to send people to Beijing to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs. There should be no reason why the county's account papers from last year should appear in the capital, and they are still blank and printed account papers.
This is even more outrageous. Common people all know that accounts should be recorded first and then printed to ensure the authenticity of the content.
"The magistrate of Chongde County is so confused. How can he use the seal before keeping accounts? If the people below just fill in random items, will he still need the black yarn and his head?!" The prince became more and more angry as he thought about it, and asked: "This account
Where did the paper come from?”
"Brother, don't you know that I have been ordered by my father to monitor the officials coming to Beijing?" As Zhu Biao's number one fan, he naturally has to tell his eldest brother everything. "How about you tell me, they came to Beijing to talk about statistics...
…Oh no, tax filer.”
"Yeah." Zhu Biao nodded, that's what happened.
"I won't go into details about how they eavesdropped. From their conversation, I learned that the ministry and the province were arguing, the province and the prefecture were arguing, the prefecture and the county were arguing, in short, the top and bottom were arguing.
." Zhu then reported:
"At this time, a female historian under me received the Chongde County Magistrate. Big brother you know that the female historian of Qinhuaihe not only needs to give money, but also has to win their attention."
"I don't know!" Zhu Biao coughed and glared at Lao San, hating him for ruining his image in Lao Liu's mind.
"Hehe, don't you know now?" Zhu Jianjian smiled and continued: "Anyway, that's what happened. In order to prop up the scene, the Chongde County Magistrate revealed his identity. My female historian didn't believe it and said he didn't look like him.
If she is an official, the county magistrate will show her her official report.
"His official report also contained a few pages of blank printing paper. Even the female historian knew that there was a problem with using the official seal on blank accounting paper. So I asked him how the magistrate dared to use the official seal on blank paper. He said that everyone
It's nothing to do like this. The female historian secretly hid this page while he fell asleep from exhaustion."
"You mean, this empty accounting paper was found from the person of the Chongde County Magistrate?" The prince's eyes flashed, and he was already aware of the seriousness of the situation. "Is he also here to give an account?"
"Yes." Lao San nodded and said: "According to our investigation, although it is not his turn to talk to the Ministry of Household Affairs, after the province talks about the numbers, it will be assigned to the government, and then the government will distribute the numbers to the county, up and down.
We have to negotiate well, so he also came to the capital on behalf of the magistrate..."
"A bunch of bastards!" The prince suddenly punched the table with his fist and cursed:
"It's outrageous that officials from all provinces and counties all over the country come to the capital together to tell the statistics! And they openly bring blank accounting papers so that they can do the accounting on the spot? Isn't this lighting a lantern in a manhole - looking for death?!"
"That's too arrogant." King Jin nodded and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"
"Follow me and go see your father right now. The matter is too big and we have no choice but to ask the Holy Spirit for judgment." The prince said with a dark face.
"Father...will he cause a big prison?" King Jin swallowed and said.
"Just lift it, there's no reason for others to treat us like fools, and we still have to worry about their lives!" Zhu Biao snorted, took two steps before whispering: "I will supervise this case, and try to prevent my father from killing as many people as possible.
Bar."
"Yeah." King Jin nodded, thinking that this would be the best.
He was worried that if his father killed too many people, the government and the public would be in trouble if they blamed him...
~~
Qianqing Palace.
Boss Zhu was not as furious as his sons expected. He looked at the empty accounting paper in his hand and actually smiled.
The smile was very scary.
"Sons, have you seen it? No one is of the same mind as us." He shook the empty printing paper and said with a strange smile:
"How many years has it been since the founding of the People's Republic of China? Our ministers, from the central to the local governments, dared to collectively and blatantly falsify accounts. They echoed from top to bottom and said, 'We are all united,' and worked together to commit corruption! It's really eye-opening."
"Yes." The prince and others nodded silently, indeed they did not take their family seriously.
"If this wave is not stopped, our newly founded Ming Dynasty will not have to go through any governance, prosperity, prosperity and decline. In one step, it will be reduced to the end of the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang gently stroked the empty printing paper
road:
"But it's normal. Among the local officials, which one has not been here in the late Yuan Dynasty? When the Yuan Dynasty lost the world, they will all take credit. How could it be possible for me to change my mind and start a new life in the Ming Dynasty?
"Of course, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. If you bring the Yuan Dynasty mentality to our Daming Dynasty, Daming Dynasty will naturally become the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang's smile became more and more terrifying.
"Okay, that's great. Thank them for giving us this opportunity to catch them all..."
"Father, please calm down. It's hard to say that this is the case for everyone. Maybe it's just a few bold people who dare to do this." The prince said softly.
"Want to know? It's simple." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice and said, "Liu Ying."
"My humble duty is here." Upon hearing this, Liu Ying immediately entered the palace.
"Immediately gather all the soldiers and horses of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, and summon the local officials from the whole city to Beijing!" Boss Zhu ordered in a deep voice; "Search their luggage and belongings. If you find any blank paper with a seal, we will search for them."
Arrest them all! Go ahead..."
"Yes!" Liu Ying accepted the order loudly and immediately stepped back to carry out the edict...
