Chapter 135 The ulterior motive, the real goal
As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had absolute power.

What kind of law he wants to make is all in his mind.

For his sons, he is extremely loving and tolerant.

Even if he did a lot of illegal things, it was nothing more than a reprimand.

Another example is the construction of huge palace complexes by King Zhu of Qin, which cost so much that even the emperor would not be able to see it.

Where do those expenses come from, don't you know?
It's just that everyone pretends not to know.

Even if it is a capital crime, it is pardoned with one sentence.

Fully explain what is called the final right of interpretation!

Zhu Yuanzhang loved and tolerated his sons extremely.

But for the ministers below, there are extremely strict requirements.

The amount of money that was corrupted by ink alone was set at more than 60 taels of silver and punished with death!
What is the concept of 60 taels of silver?

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, one stone was equivalent to 153 catties, and one catty was equivalent to 594 grams, so the weight of one stone was 90882 grams.

That is, one stone of rice is 90882 grams.

If this stone of rice is converted into the current weight, it must be divided by 500 grams, which is 182 catties.

In other words, one stone in ancient times was equivalent to 182 catties today.

Therefore, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver could buy 728 catties of rice.

According to the current market price, the average price of rice is about 3 yuan, so it can be calculated that one tael of silver is equivalent to the current 2184 yuan.

Finally, it was concluded that 60 taels of silver was equivalent to about 13 yuan.

Of course, in the later Wanli period, the price of goods and the value of silver fluctuated.

According to records, at that time, only one tael of silver could be exchanged for two stones of rice, which was 2 to 7 yuan.

The answer is also Lao Zhu's harsh punishment, which curbed the atmosphere at that time.

At least not as blatantly as the late Ming Dynasty!

Chen Limu is in charge of Yanyin, so the amount of reselling and the benefits of receiving are more than 60 taels of silver?

But the big house where he raises women outside is far more than 60 taels.

Even if he asked Liu Tuiguan for help today, the benefits he gave were 300 taels of silver.

Otherwise, he can take the imperial weapon and use it for him?
Although there are a lot of silver taels for Liu Tuiguan, the real big head has to be provided to Huang Zhifu and Liu Tongzhi.

In this way, the two fifth-rank and sixth-rank officials were also tied to the same boat.

When there is a problem, I will help myself cover it up.

This is why he dared to blatantly use the government to suppress his opponents.

According to common sense, as the local God of Wealth, he can basically walk sideways.

But he happened to meet the most unprovoked person in the area.

Then you can only admit that you are unlucky.

After all, even if he was killed, he would never have thought that a feudal lord would dare to intervene in the salt business blatantly.

Isn't he afraid of being held accountable by the court?

Moreover, Chen Limu knew in his heart that the salt eaten by these vassal kings and county kings was all supplied by the salt department.

Where did Hanwang get the refined salt?

Anyway, he didn't believe the so-called excuse of cooperating with merchants from the Western Regions to obtain the formula!
But a vassal king has done enough foreshadowing, drama, and all kinds of false news.

So what if someone doubts it?

Without substantive evidence, even officials would not dare to impeach.

Otherwise, the crime of provoking the relationship between the emperor and the vassal prince's father and son can punish their nine clans!

Lao Zhu's rule fully embodies the double standard!

It's like warning the speaker: You can speak, but I can kill you if I get upset!
This kind of act of clearly helping relatives and not helping relatives, as long as you are not a fool, you will not foolishly send your neck to the butcher's knife!
Zhu Ming's understatement made several people's hearts jump.

Huang Zhifu and Liu Tuiguan were sweating coldly on their brows, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

Fortunately, Junjie, who has just learned about current affairs, chose to serve Hanwang knowingly.

Otherwise, it would be enough to be stripped of the real grass based on the money that Liu Tuiguan received today.

At the same time, I am looking forward to the future even more.

With a vassal king as his backer, he dare not say that his official career will be prosperous in the future, at least no one can easily attack him.

If you want to push yourself down from the position of magistrate, you have to look at the mood of this feudal lord first!

Although the emperor's ancestral precepts clearly stipulated that feudal princes were not allowed to interfere with local government affairs and personnel appointments and dismissals, that was just a rule.

What's more, King Qin almost killed Geng Bingwen, but the result was nothing.

Because everyone knows that if you offend a feudal lord and get killed, even if you die, you die in vain.

Even the emperor preferred to whitewash his son, even if he died, he would be accused of killing him.

In the cruel officialdom, who would fight against the emperor for a dead man?

Therefore, the local officials are even more afraid of the vassal king!
With the wisdom of the two of them, they still don't understand the purpose of the young man above.

"Guru~"

Huang Zhifu swallowed his saliva, and he completely let go of his heart.

At this moment, he still can't see that the other party's real goal is not himself at all!

Maybe it's me, but it should be willing to solicit.

But the real target is not yourself.

I finally realized the meaning of the sentence that the grade is too low and not enough!
just
Zhou Shuyi, who was not good at fighting, was full of doubts.

Looking up at the sky, he asked, "When are we going to go home for dinner? We were brought here before we even finished our meal at noon. We're hungry!"

Zhu Ming looked at the lovely woman next to her who was pouting her mouth and touching her belly with her palm.

He smiled and said, "Since we have started today, some things must be done at once!
If you are hungry, you can go back to eat first. "

Zhou Shuyi blinked her big eyes, she was pretty surprised.

According to her understanding, isn't she going to stand up today?
After all, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the salt industry, you must show a strong side.

Otherwise, not only on the official side, but even other forces will smell the silver and come over to share a piece of meat!

That's why there was a scene of making a big fuss and killing chickens to scare monkeys.

However, those who should be dealt with have been dealt with.

Chen Limu and his mistress have honestly confessed the money they have been greedy for ink over the years.

You just need to send someone to pick it up.

Is there anything left to do?
Zhou Shuyi frowned, her big eyes were full of confusion.

Based on her understanding of this man, I'm afraid things are far from that simple.

What she sees now may just be the beginning.

The real drama has not yet begun!

Originally thought it was to attract the magistrate who was in charge of a place.

Now it seems that the real target has not appeared yet!
Even the magistrate is not a target, so who is he going to target?
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuyi couldn't help getting more and more excited.

I want to see who Ju Ming is targeting!

Faintly, I also guessed the meaning of the sentence that must be dealt with today.

After all, today's scene was too big.

Some things have to be finished or they will be exposed!
really
A guard hurried in.

Respectfully report: "His Royal Highness, the king's capital is here!"
