Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

"Let's just say that Liu Xiu's method won't work! If these corrupt officials don't kill them, it's okay?! Now they dare to make it up to us! If we give them money according to Liu Xiu's words, then the **** won't be able to ride Shit and pee on our heads?!"

Xiao Zhu sighed, and Xiao Zhu was also taken aback when he brought this account book. Seeing that it was time to collect taxes in the autumn harvest, the treasury had to calculate the accounts every time this season came.

But the bill actually showed that not only did the treasury have no silver deposits, but it was also short of tens of millions of taels!

Even if this year's tax is raised, it will not be able to plug this shortfall!

How could Lao Zhu not be surprised by this? !How not to be angry? !

The treasury's money is fucking gone? !

"Cough, cough, cough!" Old Zhu became more and more angry as he thought about it, and coughed violently. Xiao Zhu quickly patted Lao Zhu's back. After the old Zhu was overwhelmed, he asked, "What did the household department say?!"

Xiao Zhu replied, "Fu Ren and Guo Heng will demote themselves to white clothes..."

"Hehe," a murderous look flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes, "Damn, you want to run away after you get the money?! Let them take all the benefits?! Let's ask, how do they explain the shortfall of the household department!"

"They said that there have been wars this year, floods in the south, and locusts in the north...the treasury was exhausted..."

"Bullshit!" Lao Zhu roared angrily, and several figures appeared outside the door. Lao Zhu waved his hands and cursed, "It's none of your business! Get out!"

Those figures immediately disappeared again.

"Do you really think we are fools?! It is true that war relief costs money, but can it create such a big deficit?! Isn't it the fact that after the relief funds and military expenses have gone down, they have exploited them layer by layer?! Once there Such a thing is a good time for these moths to make a fortune!"

"Kill! You have to kill! I haven't seen blood in the past few years, do you really think we are old?! Boss! You can do this! It's better to kill the wrong one than let it go!"

Xiao Zhu sighed in his heart, and begged, "Father, I can handle this matter, but if we kill it from top to bottom, our court will not be able to operate..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered twice, "It's hard to find soldiers these days, and it's hard to find farmers, but it's so easy to find officials. Once you kill one crop, there will be another one. Just do it!"

Xiao Zhu could only lower her head and remain silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said angrily, "What?! You still believe in Liu Xiu?!"

Xiao Zhu raised her head and hummed, and said earnestly, "Father, if I kill those big corrupt officials, I have no objection at all, but this killing from the beginning to the end will do a lot of harm and no benefit!"

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, Xiao Zhu continued, "Father! I think Liu Xiu is right. Corrupt officials are capable officials! Indeed, as you said, once an official is killed, another crop will grow again, but this How can a new stubble compare to an old one? The level of officials is getting lower and lower, how can our Daming be better if we are placed in the hands of a group of melon eggs?!"

Little Zhu's chest heaved violently. Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief. He didn't expect Zhu Biao to hold so many words in his heart. Old Zhu was silent for a moment, then sat back dejectedly, and sighed.

"Hey, why don't we know! Let's say that Hu Weiyong is indeed a capable person, but we have to kill him! We know that the new one is definitely not as easy to use as the old one, but what can we do?! It's better than letting the old one out. These moths must be strong enough to eat up Daming's foundation!"

Xiao Zhu gritted his teeth, he couldn't do anything about it, but he always felt that killing these crops one after another was not the solution, it was clearly a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause, and if he wanted to solve this matter once and for all, Lao Zhu's methods would definitely not work. !

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I heard that salt in Yanwu and Wu is selling well, and we also have shares, why don't we wait for Liu Xiu to give us a share of the money! Maybe we can plug this deficit first! Stop it first and then talk about it." !"

Old Zhu waved his hands weakly, wanting to get up and sit back at the table, but he didn't get up all at once. A flash of heartache flashed in Xiao Zhu's eyes, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Lao Zhu to the table. Old Zhu picked up the chopsticks and began to clean the leftover After eating all the dishes on the plate, Lao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, exhausted,

"Boss, you think too well, even if Liu Xiu sells it well, how much can he sell for? How many thousand taels? Tens of thousands of taels? How many 10 taels? If you don’t come up, it’s fine if he sells salt?”

"Besides, it's time for the fourth and fifth children to spend money, and they should use the money first. When it's in our hands, it's just a drizzle. Well, in the final analysis, Liu Xiu is still It's so ideal..."

After what Lao Zhu said, Xiao Zhu was like a deflated ball,

That's right, the common people have no money in their hands. Even if Liu Xiu is capable, how much can he sell salt for?

I still take it for granted.

If Liu Xiu can't make up for this shortfall, then there is only one way left,

Use Lao Zhu's native method!

Kill corrupt officials and fill the treasury!

But when Guo Heng moved, the pirate line was completely broken!

Alas, now is not the time to think about these things, Xiao Zhu's eyes turned cold,

"Father, I will do it!"

Chapter 131 Old Fox

"Father, I will do it!"

It's not that Xiao Zhu can't do such a thing. This empty printing case was led by Lao Zhu and assisted by Xiao Zhu, and the second of the four Hongwu cases that followed was also sponsored by Xiao Zhu.

So Zhu Biao will never be soft when he kills people, but he will not kill indiscriminately like Old Zhu, but if someone blocks the way, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will immediately show his fangs!

Old Zhu stretched out his hand to hang on Xiao Zhu's shoulder, sighed, and patted Xiao Zhu's shoulder twice,

"Start digging with Guo Heng first. If the clue of Dongying is broken, it will be broken. If you want to fight outside, you must first settle inside."

"I think so too." Xiao Zhu nodded.

Lao Zhu raised his brows and rubbed his hands with the linen pajamas on his body, "What do you say? Got an idea?"

Xiao Zhu nodded, "Liu Xiu's father is the key to bringing down Guo Heng."

"Liu Xiu's father... Liu Meng? If you don't tell me, we've forgotten that there is such a person in the capital. Haha, you're a good place to start! The household department is handled by this Liu Meng, he must know the household department The actual situation!" The more Lao Zhu thought about the arrangement, the more correct he was, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "So you've already started planning! Hahahaha!"

Xiao Zhu smiled wryly, "Father, if it's not a last resort, I really don't want to use this trick..."

...............

Hall of Supreme Harmony next day

All the officials stood up and shouted in unison,

"Heaven assists you with virtue!!!"

"Haiyu Xianning!!!"

"Holy Blessing!!!"

After that, they will stand in a row according to the size of the official position.

Originally, during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the upper court also shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live", but Lao Zhu felt that it was too empty, and he couldn't listen to it, so he changed it to these three sentences,

Normally, after hearing these three sentences, Lao Zhu felt comfortable, but since he found out last night that the national treasury was in such a deficit, he suddenly felt that these words were clearly provoking us!

Virtuous fart!Xianning shit!Good luck to us!

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair with a dark face, and the lower-browed courtiers couldn't help but thump in their hearts.

Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today, so don't get into trouble!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, neither did the officials, and the court fell into a strange silence for a while.

"Cough cough," the prince coughed twice and came out of the line, "Father is mighty, the war in Yunnan is victorious, my son congratulates father!"

"My emperor is majestic, I wait to congratulate His Majesty!!!"

Old Zhu's complexion improved a lot when he heard the words. Seeing that Lao Zhu was happy, the officials dared to discuss it below.

"This battle was fought beautifully!"

"Why don't you say it, this really hurt the people of Beiyuan!"

"Hahaha, I heard that Duke Ying led troops in three directions and killed the Northern Yuan Tartars until they fled like rats!"

"Not only in Yunnan, but also in Yandi, His Royal Highness King Yan also won a big victory!"

"I know! It is said that the Fire Elephant Formation used in Pocheng of Yunnan was learned from the Yandi Fire Bull Formation!"

"What?! Fire cow?! Killing a cow is not..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Lao Zhu coughed a few times quickly, and the officials were silent. Lao Zhu was a little uncomfortable, and quickly changed the subject, "This battle was well fought! Hehe, but it hasn't finished yet, let's discuss it Well, who should stay in Yunnan?"

There was a sudden stagnation in the middle.

Who should stay in Yunnan? !

That is to say, among the three generals Fu Youde, Mu Ying, and Lan Yu, one of them will guard Yunnan.

If it was during the Tang Dynasty, this would definitely be a good job for countless people to scratch their heads. The local power is strong, and it is far away from the emperor. It is said to be under the jurisdiction of the central government, but it is actually an independent kingdom!

But now it is the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, not only is the imperial power concentrated, but also the relationship between the central government and the local government is a pattern of strong stems and weak branches!

Whoever is appointed to guard Yunnan will basically spend the rest of his life there!This means that this person will be kicked out of the inner circle of court officials!

Besides, foreign officials are not vassal kings, so it is said that these three people belong to Duke Ying who made the most contributions, but no matter how great his contributions are, they are not as good as Lao Zhu's own sons, so it seems that they are guarding Yunnan, but they are not worth it at all. If you can't catch it, it's completely thankless!

In addition, Yunnan is also different from other places. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the chieftain system has been in place in Yunnan.

What is Tusi, is that Yunnan people choose officials to manage Yunnan, instead of sending officials from the central government to the localities, and the Tusi officials can be hereditary!

When the grandfather is finished, pass it on to the father, and when the father is finished, pass it on to the son!

The Yuan Dynasty is gone, and the chieftains in Yunnan are still hereditary!From a certain level, this Yunnan chieftain is more stable than the emperor!

In such a place where needles can't get in and water can't get in, outsiders are completely not allowed to step in!

Therefore, staying in Yunnan is definitely a hard job. To put it bluntly, it is no different from being assigned!

All the officials are human beings, and after rolling their eyes twice, they figured out the pros and cons of it!

This is a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents!

However, someone was in a hurry first,

I saw Fu Youde's son, Fu Ren, former Minister of the Household Department, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."

"Speak." Old Zhu said in a flat voice.

"Your Majesty, my father is old, and it should be the age of retirement. Thinking of my father's life of fighting in the north and south, taking advantage of this son, who has not fulfilled his filial piety, I feel like a knife is twisting in my heart! I dare to ask the emperor to let my father return Retire, Jing!"

Fu Ren's words were sincere and sincere. It was reasonable to say that his son wanted to provide for Lao Tzu's old age. Moreover, Fu Youde was indeed old and was no longer suitable for such a drudgery as guarding.

However, it seemed very childish for Fu Ren to say these words in front of the emperor in the court.

If someone casually mentions a person, Xu Da, or Feng Sheng, even if they don't want Fu Youde to guard Yunnan, they will definitely not say why Fu Youde is inappropriate, but Muying and Lanyu. How fit.

This is the technique of playing games in court!

However, Fu Ren is too tender.

Lao Zhu nodded, "Fu Youde is a capable man, and he is also my humerus. I am also in a difficult situation."

Fu Ren wanted to say something else, but Li Shanchang stepped forward and said,

"Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

Old Zhu looked at Li Shanchang, "Speak."

"Yes, I think Duke Ying is really old, and it is rumored that during the First World War in Yunnan, Lord Ying was only the Prime Minister, and all major military affairs were led by Mu Ying and Lan Yu. It can be seen that newcomers replaced old ones It's time."
