The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62 Master Ye Disdains the Prospects Given by Emperor Zhu (seeking more updates)
In Ye Qing's opinion, this news is barely good news for him personally.

There is no other reason,

Because in his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang was directly sent to death on the spot by his self-evaluation memorial written as a self-report letter, which is the happiest good news.

But looking at it now, if a process of secret investigation by imperial envoys is really added, it would be too straightforward.

But this also proves that Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who can easily become a brainless angry bull.

Of course, after all, he is a legendary emperor who starts with a bowl and ends with a country. If he really turns into an angry bull so easily, I'm sorry for the word "legendary".

It doesn't matter, even if they are imperial envoys, they still can't stop Ye Qing's determination to return to the modern metropolis!

If Ye Qing had to choose between being the Northern Yuan spies or the emperor's imperial envoys, he would definitely prefer them to be the emperor's imperial envoys.

As the saying goes 'the lesser of two evils', if they were imperial envoys, he, Ye Qing, would not have to think too much about it, just offending them to death.

Let these people who represent the emperor hate him for a puddle of blood, and let these people who represent the emperor go back and hate him to death!

After making such a plan, Ye Qing's eyes also had a look of anticipation, and there was a light smile of relief on the corner of his mouth.

But the one sitting across from him, Wu Yong, who is actually the Deputy Magistrate, has a sad expression on his face!
Because from Wu Yong's point of view, this is extremely bad news.

If they were imperial envoys sent by the imperial court, then Ye Qing would be in big trouble.

It stands to reason that if they found out that this group of people were imperial envoys from the very beginning, they would eat, drink, entertain and entertain them, and inspect what they could inspect with their company.

When leaving, let this group of people return home with full rewards, then he, Ye Qing, will definitely be the Qingtian master with unparalleled political achievements.

It will be a matter of time before the magistrate becomes the magistrate.

If you do it well, you will be summoned by the emperor and rewarded in person!
But the fact before them is that they are very likely to arrest him as a Beiyuan spy, and directly make him a reform-through-labour prisoner.

If they were really imperial envoys, they would really offend them to the point where even kneeling down and admitting their mistakes would be irreversible!

Of course, even now, they cannot fully confirm that these people are imperial envoys.

It's just because what these people do is completely in line with the status of Beiyuan spies and imperial envoys.

"grown ups,"

"The next official thinks that the matter has not reached the point of no return!"

As soon as Wu Yong finished speaking, there was a piercing cold light in his eyes, which was quite obvious under the bright moonlight.

Ye Qing looked at his eyes that were almost narrowed into a slit, and also felt the killing intent bursting out from his eyes.

Looking at Wu Yong's eyes, Ye Qing only felt that there was a mountain in front of him, a 'mountain' that prevented him from going home, and it was still the kind of wall.

Ye Qing hurriedly asked: "What do you want to do?"

Wu Yong immediately wiped his neck and said: "Anyway, their actions are completely in line with the status of Beiyuan spies, so we just don't do anything."

"Let's not try to subdue any capable Beiyuan people for our own use, just kill him with one blow!"

"In this way, it doesn't matter whether they are the Northern Yuan spies or the emperor's imperial envoys."

"Even if they haven't returned to the court for a long time, the emperor will find out, we just need to wipe out all their records of entering the city, and we can prove that they never came."

"As for whether they fell off the cliff and died on the way, and then their bodies were snatched away by wolves, tigers and leopards, or they died when the boat sank while crossing the river, and their bodies were eaten by fish and shrimp, that's none of our business."

"My lord, this is the only way to secure your future!"

Ye Qing watched Wu Yong salute very seriously, he was really relieved and scared!

The reason why he feels gratified is because Wu Yong came up with the idea of ​​killing imperial envoys in order to protect Ye Qing's future here.

Ye Qing knows that as long as he nods in agreement, Wu Yong will never be ambiguous, and things will be done properly tomorrow.

In other words, when he went to take a bath later, those people would turn into corpses that were still warm!
Regarding this point, he is absolutely sure, there is no need to doubt it at all.

Just because of his loyalty, he should feel gratified.

But it was also because of this that he felt scared!
Regardless of other factors for the time being, even if things went as smoothly as Wu Yong thought, he would just kill them as Northern Yuan spies without being discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang, thus saving his future here.

But it blocked his way home!

What’s so good about this place? There’s no air-conditioning in summer, no floor heating in winter, and no planes for traveling. Life is short, and most of the time is wasted on the road.

Take the "empty seal case" that will happen in a few years, a large part of the reason for such a tragedy is that the traffic is not good and it takes time.

According to the provisions of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", all local administrative units must submit the accounts of money, food and taxes to the imperial household department every year.

Moreover, the account numbers of the Ministry of Accounts and the local administrative units must be completely consistent before they can be closed.

As long as there is an item that does not match the figures, the entire account book will be returned and filled in again. The key is to re-stamp the relevant rights of the local government.

You must know that the capital at this time is Yingtian, and relevant officials from all over the country have to go to Yingtian to report the accounts in person.

At this time, the taxes paid cannot all be spent on precious banknotes, which can only account for a small part, and most of the taxes are still grain and cloth.

In this era that pays attention to food and clothing, food and cloth are the biggest hard currencies, far more valuable than banknotes that will depreciate rapidly in the future.

Especially silk, there is a saying of "one tael of silk and one tael of gold"!
It is also because most of them pay taxes in kind, so some road losses are inevitable and normal.

Especially in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangdong and Guangxi regions, they have to go through a long journey to send food and cloth to Yingtian City.

With the current traffic conditions, it would be absolutely embarrassing for them to avoid road loss!
But he, Zhu Yuanzhang, is such a person who accepts death, so he wants people to go back and make a new book. If he has toss twice like this, a year will be wasted.

Therefore, for the sake of convenience and without going back and forth, they have the practice of preparing blank booklets in advance.

And this is also a practice that has been handed down all the time. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has not been a written prohibition!

But because of this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang directly issued an order to kill a boat of people with one shot, "All the officials of the main seal will be executed, and the deputy and below will be punished with a staff of one hundred and then sent to the army."

Yes,

He, Ye Qing, also believes that someone must take advantage of this opportunity to enrich themselves, but there is absolutely no need to kill them all with one shot!

As far as this matter is concerned, there are many people who deserve what they deserve, but there are also many people who died unjustly.

Not to mention that the material conditions in all aspects of this era are worse than those of modern cities, just based on Zhu Yuanzhang's approach, he completely disdains the prospect of working for Zhu Yuanzhang for a lifetime!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately looked at Wu Yong, his eyes were still full of reproach!
