Xishan Imperial Manor has cleaned up the house for the time being. At this time, Zhu Changluo began to take inventory of his property.

After intimidating the little bosses, Zhu Changluo left Wang An and the eunuch in charge he had brought over.

Zhu Changluo said: "Don't be formal, everyone, sit down."

Wang An and several eunuchs in charge sat down carefully.

Zhu Changluo looked at the eunuchs in charge and said: "You are all capable men recommended to me by Eunuch Sun, and I will not treat you badly, but I hope you will not bring some bad habits to Huangzhuang, otherwise,

Just don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”

Several eunuchs in charge were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and replied: "I understand, I understand."

When Zhu Changluo saw their statements, there was no expression on his face. He didn't care whether these people really understood, but if someone still dared to touch the bottom line, don't blame Zhu Changluo for saying that he didn't predict what he said.

Zhu Changluo said: "Let's all introduce ourselves. Let's get to know each other. This will prevent us from having problems communicating with each other in the future."

Then Zhu Changluo winked at Wang An, and Wang An stood up and said, "My name is Wang An, and I am the newly appointed general manager of Xishan Huangzhuang. Please take good care of me in the future."

The remaining four eunuchs in charge quickly returned the gift. Then the eunuch sitting next to Wang An began to introduce his name one by one: "My name is Zhang San."

"My name is Li Si."

"My name is Wang Wu."

"My name is Li Jinzhong."

When Zhu Changluo heard the last name, he paused and said, "Wait a minute, what is your name?"

Li Jinzhong was very tall and strong-looking. If it weren't for the eunuch clothes he was wearing, no one would have thought he was a eunuch.

Li Jinzhong said carefully: "Slave Li Jinzhong."

Zhu Changluo looked at Li Jinzhong and felt that the name sounded familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere. Then Zhu Changluo asked, "What was your name before you entered the palace?"

Li Jinzhong whispered back: "Wei Jinzhong. Eunuch Sun thought it was not good to add this name to his surname, so he changed his name to Li Jinzhong."

Good guy! Zhu Changluo has been restrained now!

This guy turned out to be the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian who later became famous all over the world and was hailed as the "savior" of the Ming Dynasty by later generations of netizens!

Seeing this famous historical figure standing in front of him, Zhu Changluo stood up curiously and looked at Li Jinzhong. The more he looked at it, the more incredible it became. How could such a fierce man look like this? Shouldn't he have a cold and ruthless appearance?

Why does he look so honest and honest now? Especially Zhu Changluo also saw that Li Jinzhong's arm muscles were obviously more developed, and the eunuch's clothes did not cover the muscle lines on his arms.

Zhu Changluo asked: "What are your abilities?"

Li Jinzhong said: "I know how to shoot arrows and ride horses."

Zhu Changluo was surprised and said: "He is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs."

Li Jinzhong said awkwardly: "This slave is illiterate."

Zhu Changluo said: "It doesn't matter if you are illiterate. Don't underestimate your talent. You are much better than those who are literate. You can stay with me from now on. By the way, change your name too. Li Jinzhong sounds awkward to me.

Just change your surname back to Wei Zhongxian. This name suits you better."

When Wei Zhongxian heard that Zhu Changluo praised him so much, he quickly knelt on the ground and thanked him profusely, "I thank you, Master, for giving me this name."

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian received special attention from Zhu Changluo, Zhang San, Li Siwang and Wu, they felt particularly envious and felt that their names were careless.

Zhu Changluo continued to assign tasks. He said to Wang An: "Wang An will be responsible for everything in the emperor's village from now on, and everyone must obey Wang An's arrangements. Zhang San is responsible for the financial situation of the emperor's village, and Li Si is responsible for the property and property of the emperor's village.

Regarding the warehouse situation, Wang Wu is responsible for the manpower situation in the Huangzhuang. Wei Zhongxian follows me and is responsible for supervising everyone in the Huangzhuang."

Wei Zhongxian was horrified. He didn't know why he was entrusted with such an important task by Zhu Changluo in the first place. Even Wang An couldn't help but take another look at Wei Zhongxian, feeling that his position was threatened by a new eunuch.

After assigning tasks, Zhu Changluo asked Wang An and Wang Wu to find the list of tenants in the imperial village. Zhu Changluo wanted to know how many manpower there were in the imperial village?

As a result, there were still many problems with this investigation.

Zhu Changluo looked at the roster that Wang An and Wang Wu had found. He looked through it and found that there were a total of 560 tenant households in the register. According to the family size of three to five people per household, the minimum in this imperial village should be

There are 1,700 people.

However, when Zhu Changluo summoned the management staff and tenants of the Huangzhuang, Zhu Changluo also made a rough visual inspection. There were less than 200 tenants in the Huangzhuang. So the remaining tenants did not know that Zhu Changluo was coming, or they deliberately did not provide manpower.

Well, these people don't exist at all. This problem is quite serious. Therefore, Zhu Changluo must know the real situation in the Huangzhuang, otherwise what is the use of the Huangzhuang?

Zhu Changluo said to Wang An and Wang Wu: "According to the tenant information recorded in the roster, you personally visit each household and re-record the number of people in each household and how much royal land they cultivate. I want to know this royal land.

Who is there in the village?"

Wang An took the roster and began to count the personnel in the imperial village one by one according to Zhu Changluo's request.

After two days, Wang An and Wang Wu finally found out the specific population and manpower situation in Huangzhuang.

There are actually 210 tenant households in Huangzhuang, 103 of which are illegal households and are not on the roster. These 210 tenant households, plus their family members, have a total of 758 people. The lowest number compared to Zhu Changluo

The estimated population differed by a full thousand people!

This data is so shocking. This is still a royal palace. If this situation were extended to the whole country, how many empty households would there be? How many hidden illegal households would there be?

This is unimaginable!

Then Zhu Changluo asked Wang An and Zhang San and Li Si to check the financial situation in the imperial village. It turned out that the huge imperial village had less than 500 taels of silver on its books. The warehouses storing grains contained either old rice or bad rice. Most of the warehouses were empty and could be run away.

It's a rat.

The deficit and corruption of this imperial village were so serious! This suddenly made Zhu Changluo realize the reason why the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and ruined the country. This country is really bad to the core, and anyone with some power is trying their best to destroy such a country. In the end

They also put all the pressure and exploitation on those at the bottom.

The reason why this country is still struggling is because people who are so oppressed and exploited are still working hard to carry this country forward.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. This was really terrifying!

At this time, Zhu Changluo finally understood why Lao Zhu went on a massacre and fought against corruption after the founding of the country. These vested interests were not satisfied with the glory and wealth given by the court. They were greedy and wanted more resources and wealth.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a beggar and had been oppressed for countless lives, must have hated these hateful corrupt officials, so he established the Zhaoji Prison, eradicated the nobles, and attacked the nobles!

Now, this country has not fought against corruption for two hundred years, and everyone has regarded embezzling the interests of others as commonplace. This culture should also be changed.
