Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 829: Zhu Yuanzhang Demands Fair Execution
It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang had the final say on everything, but it was clearly the same thing, but it resulted in two completely different judgments.

But for everyone, it seems natural.

Because now they also understood that Zhang Liyuan was still the same as in previous years, just concentrating on working.

He did come across an empty account book, but he only checked it and saved the other party the time of going back and forth.

He never dared to do anything like bending the law for personal gain.

But Zhao Yurong is different.

This grandson is really brave.

He actually helped his elder brother to fake the incident. He really just does whatever he wants!
This kind of behavior not only made Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang furious, but other officials also felt uncomfortable.

No wonder your brother got excellent grades in the evaluations in recent years. Is this how your family passes the evaluations?

Everyone's relatives and friends are still working hard in the local area to build water conservancy projects and encourage farmers to develop farmland, but your family is just making up accounts and writing whatever they want on the notebook.

Damn, who can compare to this?

Of course, some people may also wonder what to do when the Censor goes to the local area to inspect?
That's so simple.

Wouldn't it be better to just borrow some money and grain from the local wealthy households and send it in based on the numbers in the account book?
Then when reporting disasters, small disasters become big disasters, big disasters become serious disasters, and when providing disaster relief, they make some moves...

By then, we will definitely be able to satisfy the superiors, the victims and settle the accounts!
Anyone who has been to the local area knows these methods.

Because this is customary.

Whenever a disaster strikes, local officials who have some means will happily begin to settle the accounts.

Therefore, the real trouble has never been the local warehouse, but the inspection by the Ministry of Households.

As a result, this kid Zhao Yurong actually cooperated with his elder brother and got away with it.

Fortunately it was exposed this time, otherwise, wouldn’t his elder brother be able to rise to the top in the future?

Many people are secretly thinking at this moment, well, you owe your elder brother such a huge favor that he would risk his life to help you.

But it doesn’t matter. Now your eldest brother’s family and your family are all gone!
Zhang Liyuan's case has been resolved. Although he still has to go to the imperial prison to record his confession, Zhu Yuanzhang has now decided on the disposal plan for him, so this is nothing more than a formality.

Zhang Liyuan really felt relieved.

Damn it, why does His Majesty always say that I look like my teacher?

If he didn't still have a trace of rationality, he would actually like to shout out, it would be nice to be a minister, even for life, as long as the salary doesn't stop.

But he didn't dare!

So he obediently stepped aside.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Zhao Yurong.

"Tsk, Zhao Yurong, we have nothing much to say to you."

"Let the Royal Guards take him away for interrogation!"

"We just want to know how many people are involved in this matter!"

“How much of it is excusable and how much of it is deliberate!”

"Don't worry, the accounts will be verified with the Ministry of Revenue. You don't have to worry about me forcing you to confess."

"But if you keep saying that you are just helping, but in the end the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue you handled were all used to cover up for the local authorities, then there is nothing to say!"

"Well, take him away!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, not only the court officials, but even the guilty ministers were silent.

In fact, everyone was surprised as to why His Majesty was so easy to talk to. If he had behaved like this in the past, he would have chopped off several heads by now.

Where are the steps of review and verification? !
The main point is that you have to recruit them whether you want to or not!
If Master Hu were here, he would be even more surprised.

Because in Mr. Hu's memory, the Empty Seal Case was the second case to occur among the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, second only to the "Hu Weiyong Case".

The main reason why this case was listed as one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty was that not only did it kill many people, but it also happened quickly.

If you get infected, you will die.

Old Zhu thought that these people not only did not follow the rules he had set, but were even trying to cheat him of his money?

Is this still available?

kill!

Not killing is not enough to make the people angry!

Not killing is not enough to warn people!

Then it became one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Yuanzhang in this life was somewhat different.

Not to mention that Zhu Biao is about to succeed to the throne, even the palace has begun quietly preparing for the abdication ceremony.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang also gave in to some of the things that Zhu Biao insisted on and demanded.

More importantly, at this time in history, there were no longer enough caring and wise advisers around Mr. Hu.

There is not even anyone who can advise him, so isn't he just being unscrupulous?
But in this life, Mr. Hu was still alive and well, and the Hu Weiyong case became the Li Shanchang case.

Today, Hu Weiyong has already become the closest family to the royal family.

With all the reasons put together, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not listen to Mr. Hu's advice?

Of course, there is another very important but less obvious reason.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as poor as described in history.

You know, although Mr. Hu no longer intervened in the work of Fu Youde and others' "ocean-going fleet" and the Foreign Diplomacy Department, it has actually never stopped.

Large amounts of gold and silver flowed into Zhu Yuanzhang's treasury and the Ming Dynasty's national treasury like water.

This gave Zhu Yuanzhang at least more confidence regarding money!
Although it is still stingy, it is not as scary as in history.

Zhu Yuanzhang in history never relaxed throughout his life.

He had never received any specialized education and knew neither finance nor accounting.

He lived exactly as he imagined a wealthy family would live, hoarding money and grain!
They still believe in the way of the rich families, that is, as long as they have food in their hands, they will not be worried.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's finances were never very healthy.

But he feels sorry for the people and doesn't want to increase taxes, so doesn't that mean he can only stick to those few expenses?

If anyone touches his money, wouldn't that be the same as asking for his life?
Of course!
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is more or less about to abdicate, so there is no need to overdo some things.

At least for Zhu Biao who was standing at the steps, this was a good thing.

He was also very nervous just now, fearing that his father would throw him out and chop him into pieces.

That would be great fun.

The canonical punishment is not just a simple procedure, it is more about maintaining a certain order.

If even you, the emperor, can do whatever you want, then why do you ask others to follow the rules? (End of this chapter)
