In fact, Liu Haojia really didn't offend him when he asked him to kneel down and answer! Because at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and his Huaixi nobles were from ordinary people and had completely different etiquette. So as soon as the meeting started, the whole hall became chaotic.
group!
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had a small peasant consciousness and felt that etiquette must be formal in order to set off the majesty of the dynasty. Therefore, the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty was stricter and more complicated than other dynasties! According to the rules of the time, four people like Wu Yunshan
The fifth-grade official actually knelt down and knelt down to worship the real Marquis!
However, as time goes by, the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty have lower and lower requirements for etiquette. This is because they feel that their family background is enough and they do not need etiquette to set it off. And with the gradual expansion of the power of civil servants and the nobility.
With the decline of power, the gap between civil and military officials is getting wider and wider! Civil servants are becoming more and more superior to noble military officers!
Fortunately, the nobles had titles, but the military attaches without background were the most unlucky! By the late Ming Dynasty, military attachés from the fifth to the seventh grade had to kneel down to pay homage! Even Qi Jiguang, the majestic military god of the generation
Every invitation to Zhang Juzheng must be written with the words "running dog", which shows how powerful the civil servants were at that time!
Wu Yunshan is one of the beneficiaries of this set of unspoken rules, so Liu Haojia asked him to kneel down to answer, which was a huge humiliation to him! If he hadn't been held down by two soldiers, he would have almost jumped up and fought Liu Haojia.
!
But even so, he was still cursing Liu Haojia loudly. Liu Haojia turned over the documents in his hands indifferently. After a while, he walked up to Wu Yunshan with a document and showed it: "Master Wu, you should know this person."
What is it?"
Wu Yunshan recognized what was in Liu Haojia's hand as soon as he saw it, because he looked at a lot of these things every month, so he said loudly: "This is a copy of the receipt, what's wrong?"
Liu Haojia said: "It's good to see it before! But I'm afraid you can't remember the number, right?"
Wu Yunshan looked at the thick stack of copy of receipts in Liu Haojia's hand and said: "I have to deal with so many official matters every day, how can I remember so much! What do you do with these copies of receipts?"
Liu Haojia smiled slightly and said: "Sure enough, you really can't remember! I will tell you one thing clearly, maybe you will have an impression! At this time, the imperial court sent receipts for food and salary to Tianjin every month, but the actual amount delivered was only
Sixty-and-a-half percent on the list! But I have never signed your full receipt. Instead, I have rewritten a receipt for your people to take back. Now you should think of something, right?
"
Liu Haojia looked at Wu Yunshan's expression and knew that he must have remembered something, but Wu Yunshan still replied forcefully: "So what?"
Liu Haojia said: "So what? It seems that you still haven't thought about some things clearly! But after you read this thing, you will understand it clearly!"
After Liu Haojia finished speaking, he took out the document in his hand and handed it over, and at the same time ordered the servant to let go of Wu Yunshan. Wu Yunshan rubbed his shoulders and was about to get up, but was pushed back by a servant. He could only kneel there angrily to take the document.
He glanced at the first page and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. Then after he turned a few pages, his expression became even more distorted! And it looked like he wanted to tear up the document in his hand!
At this time, Liu Haojia suddenly took the document back from his hand and said, "Now Mr. Wu should have remembered something, right?"
Now Wu Yunshan really remembered something, and it was something very deadly! His face had turned obviously pale, and his body was weak when he knelt straight. He suddenly sat on his heels, completely powerless.
Look!
When Liu Haojia received the food and salary from the Ministry of War, he discovered one thing, that is, the actual items he received were only 60% of what was on the list! The military attaché who escorted the food and salary actually told him without hesitation that the missing items "didn't exist"
"Yes!"
The word "floating" originally refers to the losses caused by water seepage or capsizing and other accidents when transporting materials in canals and seas. But now it actually appears on land, and at such a short distance from the capital to Tianjin.
"Drift away"!
What’s even more outrageous is that as much as 40% of the things that “floated away” actually “floated away”, which is simply appalling! As for where the “floating away” things went, it is naturally self-explanatory!
So when Liu Haojia argued hard, the official actually rolled his eyes and said: "This is the rule when sending food and salary! If the Marquis doesn't accept it, forget it!"
Naturally, Liu Haojia had to accept the free food and salary sent by the court, so Liu Haojia did not sign the list from the court at all, but arranged for someone to take a piece of paper and write a receipt.
The official was very dissatisfied when Liu Haojia refused to cooperate, and argued with Liu Haojia for a long time! Then Liu Haojia said something: "This is the receipt, do you like it or not?"
But at this time, the items had already entered Liu Haojia's warehouse, and the official had no choice but to accept the receipt and return. Originally, he and the people behind him thought that Liu Haojia would go to Emperor Wanli to complain, but they didn't.
Come to think of it, he didn’t mention it at all!
So the officials at the Ministry of War felt at ease that this was another sensible nobleman! Although the receipt was written by himself and actually received, it was just the last sign of his stubbornness!
But there was a problem. This kind of receipt that was signed based on the actual income could not be entered into the account. Because once it was entered into the account, the difference could not be withdrawn. So driven by the two emotions of greed and the feeling that Liu Haojia "understood the rules", the Ministry of War
The person simply forged the receipt and entered it into the account, and swallowed 40% of the material with peace of mind.
Of course, they didn't do this at the beginning, but after a period of time, they found out that Liu Haojia had indeed not complained before doing so. At the same time, in order to appease Liu Haojia, they added half a percent more to the food and salary in the future as an act of appeasement.
But is it so easy to take advantage of Liu Haojia? Of course it is impossible! After Liu Haojia received his salary for the first time, he has been investigating these matters and quickly identified the specific person in charge. What makes Liu Haojia even more dumbfounded is that
, this "floating" actually went through a second "floating"!
Wu Yunshan is directly responsible for the military appropriation in the Gyeonggi region, which means that he is the direct handler of the "floating". Of course, it is impossible for him to swallow this large amount of food and salary in full, so other than getting it within their small group
In addition to the part you deserve, a large part must be handed over to your superiors.
