"In the past, I was unwilling to accept that a person's background determines what kind of insight he will have in the future and what height he will reach in the future."

"The origin here does not necessarily refer to family background, but more of a growth environment from childhood to adulthood."

"In this way, Emperor Gaozu of Han was not very good. From the generation of his father Liu Taiweng, he was a gangster family."

"The origin of Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty is even more harsh. He is not full or warm in food. He has been struggling on the line of life and death before the twenty-five years!"

"But their foresight and achievements in history are beyond the reach of future generations."

"So when I was young, I thought that human origin was nonsense. Not doing big things should be because of bad luck, or God did not give him a chance."

"But as I grew older, I realized that there were only two of them in the vast past few thousand years."

"Empers from ancient times to the present, especially those who unified Wang Chao, were mostly noble. They have been vocal in power and the way of governing the country since they were young."

"Even the military emperors among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, how many of them are from unknown origins?"

"When I was young, I thought more than once that if one day I became an emperor, I should change my country and the sun and the moon and the vastness of it!"

"But when I really sat in this position, I realized what it was like walking on thin ice and thorns everywhere."

"Everything that I fantasized when I was young will become a bubble when I became an adult. Even as an emperor, the world will not be operated by the emperor's will, let alone a complete change."

"And the many and difficult problems of the empire are even more frustrating and even weakening."

"The reason I am frustrated and powerless is because of my origin...I want to take the empire higher and farther, but my abilities do not match."

"That ability is not power and tricks, nor zz checks and balances, but pattern..."

~~

The lights in the Qianqing Palace were still on. Since the decision to publicize the new policy nationwide, the lights in the palace have been constantly on all night.

The meal on the table was already cold, the large oil in the stew had solidified, a white layer.

But Zhu Yunyu was still sitting under the lamp, frowned and looked at the document in his hand.

Minister of the Southern Study Room, Shangshu of the Independent Council, and others sat opposite Zhu Yunxi, and everyone was silent.

"The problem is more serious than imagined!" Zhu Yunxiu put down the document in his hand and sighed softly.

"If you don't check, you won't know. If you check it, you will be shocking!" said Ba Zhao, "No official warehouse in the entire Zhili territory is clean." He said, gritting his teeth and saying, "The most serious problem is the Okura, the capital."

"Because of the deficit of the capital's Daguan, it was directly counted on the heads of dozens of official warehouses in Zhili." Bao Zhao continued to grit his teeth, "My Ming official warehouse is like a toilet. When the lid is opened, it is filled with white maggots..."

Prosperous era?

Zhu Yunxiu had a self-deprecating sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Bao Zhao is right, in the prosperous era... there are a group of maggots!

"It's only been a few years!" Zhu Yunxiu's voice was faint, as if he was a little sad, "I have been an emperor for only a few years, and the administration has become like this. If it weren't for the implementation of the new policy, I wouldn't know..."

"In fact, there have been corruption and fraud in the official warehouse!" He Guangyi, who was behind Bao Zhao, hurriedly said, "They were not greedy in the past few years, but they started greedy in the Hongwu Dynasty."

As he said that, he looked at the emperor's face and continued, "The warehouse envoys in the north, Annan and two warehouses of Jingcang began to secretly buy land and buy houses and shops when Emperor Taizu Gao!"

Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly again, "These maggots have lived for so many years, you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, can't stand the blame!"

"I'm going to die!" He Guangyi stood up and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and smiled mockingly again.

What is the meaning of venting anger on such a thing? Can you vent your anger?

He is the Jinyiwei...

Princes and ministers are the targets of the Jinyiwei. As for these grassroots officials, isn’t it a cannon to use the Jinyiwei to hit flies?

yes!

Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart, "I have raised many cannons, but no matter how big the cannon is, there is no way to deal with these flies!"

Then he blocked the emotions in his mind and asked, "Has the criminals confessed?"

"In front of iron evidence, we cannot deny it!" Bao Zhao was so murderous.

Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment, "Listen to what you mean, find the evidence first and then arrest the person?"

Bao Zhao stood up and apologized, "I ask the emperor to punish the crime of his unsolicited orders before he asked for the imperial edict!"

As he said that, he looked up and said, "I ordered the arrest of people not because I found any evidence...but...?"

"But what?" Zhu Yunxiu said, "It's okay!"

"I first read the official list of the Ministry of Personnel. Whether it is officials or officials in the capital, the hometown and why each person holds clearly is marked. It also includes how many people they had at home, how many rooms and acres of land they had before taking on their posts..."

"Then..." Bao Zhao said, looking at He Guangyi, "this time thanks to Commander He, the Jinyiwei walked in the market and heard many rumors. For example, where did a certain minor official buy a new house, and a certain official marry a concubine..."

"Just rely on a little bit!" Bao Zhao was very angry, "As long as the officials' property now doubled compared to when they were officials, they will be arrested together!"

"Wait!" Zhu Yunyu suddenly grabbed something in his mind, "The official list of the Ministry of Personnel marked their property before becoming an official?"

"It's not just a few notes, it's just a few strokes!" Bao Zhao said, "In fact, this is the old rule of the Hongwu Dynasty. As long as officials take office in the early years of the National Dynasty, they must declare their family population and land in the Ministry of Personnel..."

"Then why didn't you declare it later?" Zhu Yunhuang asked.

"Because..." Bao Zhao paused, "In the later major cases, there were too many officials killed. In order to prevent the official position from being vacant, some people were promoted in a hurry, so this matter gradually... was forgotten!"

"You can even get sloppy even if you are so angry!"

How could Zhu Yunxi not hear the other party’s implicit sound?

Before the officials took office in the early years of the State Administration, they had to leave relevant files in the Ministry of Personnel. The reason why they did not leave them was not because they forgot it, but because everyone reached a consensus and collectively avoided it.

In the last few years, the old man basically did not care about the government affairs. Zhu Yunyu showed kindness to win people's hearts at the beginning of his ascension.

Otherwise, why are the property of the minor officials in the capital marked in the official list of the Ministry of Personnel, but the officials did not?

“Property declaration!”

Zhu Yunxiu thought to himself, "There is no 100% effective method in the world. The path is one foot higher than the demon is one foot higher! But you can't just not restrain yourself because it may not work..."

"This marking of family property is quite interesting!" Zhu Yunxiu pondered slightly.

Bao Zhao lowered his head, hesitating a little.

It is true that he is the second generation of the Ming Dynasty, but he is not the first generation of the stupidity of the Ming Dynasty.

If you squirt, anyone can squirt, and you can squirt whatever you want.

But some things need to be thought twice before doing.

"I think this method can be implemented in the court!"

Bao Zhao was hesitant, but He Guangyi next to him didn't care about so many.

"Well, come and listen!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
