Daming reckless man

Chapter 626 Seeing King Lu

Zhang Hao is indeed a little worried. This time King Lu did not succeed in rebelling, and many officials have no reason to arrest them. They must have been caught. Of course, if there is a strict investigation, it is definitely possible. Zhang Hao can also check the accounts.

However, this was a waste of time. Zhang Hao wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible, but if those corrupt officials were not investigated, Zhang Hao was also worried, fearing that he would cause trouble again.

Then, the food here was ready. Zhang Hao, King Yu and those thousands of households, Shen Lian and the others sat here to eat together, discussing the case.

"I thought about it. All the officials in Shandong have to go through it and check all the accounts. Since they are here, they should be cleaned up thoroughly, so that the people of Shandong will have a bright future.
In addition, early tomorrow morning, I will write a memorial to ask His Majesty to send officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Households to Shandong to start cleaning up the officials in Shandong. Next, Jin Yiwei will Investigate all the officials, down to the non-influx, up to the king of Lu, all of them must be checked,
Although the time is relatively long, it is a good thing for the court and the people of Shandong, so please work hard during this time! " Zhang Hao said to them.

"Yes, my lord, it's not hard!" Shen Lian and the others immediately said with a smile.

"Well, the people in Shandong should live a better life. Look at the people outside. Although they are better than the people in Shaanxi, they are far worse than the people in the suburbs of the capital.
In addition, the farmland controlled by the Chaotang here is less than 200 million mu, and the number of registered people in Shandong exceeds 1000 million, which is far from enough. Of course, there are still many people who have not registered. Those who are on the register, these people are also members of my Daming, and they will also be assigned to Yishou Yongyetian! "Zhang Hao sat there and said.

"Yes!" Those people nodded.

After the meal, Zhang Hao asked King Yu to rest. After all, he was really tired after traveling for such a long time, and Zhang Hao also felt a little tired, but Zhang Hao still needed to read those materials. Only after reading, Zhang Hao was relieved to go sleep,
Early the next morning, after Zhang Hao woke up, he had breakfast with King Yu first, and then took King Yu to stroll around Jinan for a while, looking at the people here and listening to their voices.

"This time King Lu and the others must be doomed. Not to mention King Lu, even those officials are probably doomed. This time, Marquis Lu An is here. I heard that King Yu is also here, and he is the one to clean them up. Your majesty is wise. I know that there are too many corrupt officials in our Shandong Province. Send people to investigate!"

"Be careful, be careful, if someone overhears you, you will be in trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? Now those officials' homes are under the control of Jin Yiwei. They can't even come out if they want to. I heard that they can only go in and not come out!"

"That's right, don't be afraid, His Majesty wants to deal with those officials. I heard from the businessman that King Qin was arrested in Shaanxi. People in Shaanxi set off firecrackers all the way. I heard that it was also the case handled by Marquis Lu An!"
Those common people were sitting here in the teahouse discussing this matter, while Zhang Hao brought King Yu and several guards, and they were also sitting here drinking tea, listening to the news here, after drinking tea, Zhang Hao took King Yu to the Go to the market to see.

"A bazaar can best reflect the living conditions of the people in a place. If the living standard is high, then there will be many people in the bazaar and the supplies will be abundant. If the level is not high, then there will be few people and not many supplies. Get up!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.

"Well," Yu Wang nodded, looking at the few people in the market!

"Master, why are there not many people in this market?" Zhang Hao entered a shop and asked an old man inside.

"Who are you?" The old man looked at Zhang Hao and the others and asked.

"I just want to do some business here in Shandong. I'm just here to investigate. I thought Shandong has a large population. Why are there so few people?" Zhang Hao looked at the old man and asked.

"The common people are poor, how can they have the money to buy anything? Look at my small shop, which is full of daily necessities. We have high taxes in Shandong!" the old man said with a wry smile.

"The tax is high, that's wrong, isn't it tax-free? Oh, yes, the businessman's tax is still there, but it's halved!" Zhang Hao asked the old man.

"How can there be a halving? Besides, those people have no agricultural taxes, but they still have other taxes! For example, you have to pay taxes for killing chickens, and you have to pay taxes for selling cattle. You said that ordinary people can have How much is the tax?" The old man continued to complain.

"Is there such a tax?" Zhang Hao looked at the old man in surprise and asked.

"Yes, every place is different anyway!" The old man said, Zhang Hao nodded, thinking in his heart, it seems that those local officials really need to be investigated.

"Why do they still dare to accept the regulations above?" King Yu asked in surprise.

"We don't know if there are any regulations above, but those officials, it's not like they accept whatever they want!" The old man said with a smile.

"Well, okay, sir, let's take a look again!" Zhang Hao said to the old man with a smile, while he continued to watch,

And Yu Wang asked Zhang Hao suspiciously: "They collect taxes like this, and they don't care about the imperial censor?"

"What if the capital censor can also get the money? What do they care about? Anyway, here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows what they have done as long as no one gets involved?
Censors from all over the world, they are sometimes bought by those people, how do you think the higher ups know?So, to govern the world is to govern the people. Those people below will deceive the subordinates and hide the truth from the superiors. Otherwise, can His Majesty worry about the affairs of the world so much? "Zhang Hao looked at King Yu with a smile and said.

"Too much? Is there no way?" Yu Wang was so angry that he felt that he was cheated. He had seen the memorials from Shandong before, but he didn't find such a problem.

"Yes, an investigation team is sent out every year, directly under His Majesty, and random inspections are conducted every year. Wherever they are drawn, they will check wherever they are, so that those officials will also be afraid. Of course, the key is to look at His Majesty, including the future emperor.

If the future emperor does not have the heart to investigate corrupt officials, then nothing will work. If the higher authorities have the determination to investigate corrupt officials, then the number of corrupt officials will decrease a lot, and the people will have a better life! "Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and said.

"We must not bypass them and oppress the people like this!" King Yu said angrily.

"Well, don't be so angry, just watch calmly, think about the things behind, slowly ponder, think about the problems inside, and you will naturally know what's going on!" Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and said, he didn't want King Yu went to extremes.

"En!" Hearing this, King Yu nodded, still very angry in his heart.
Then Zhang Hao took King Yu to continue to visit Jinan City. For those famous places in Jinan City, Zhang Hao took him there, one was to have a look,

The other is to hear what the people say about the officials in Shandong. Zhang Hao listened to a lot of them along the way, but none of them had good comments. In the afternoon, when Zhang Hao and the others returned to their place of residence, Shen Lian came over and said to Zhang Hao : "King Lu has always said that he wants to see you!"

"Why are you seeing me?" Zhang Hao looked at Shen Lian and asked.

"I don't know, I guess I want to plead with you or have other ideas!" Shen Lian shook his head and said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go, His Royal Highness King Yu, let's go to King Lu's house and see what King Lu has to say!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go and see the King of Lu too. He is responsible for Shandong becoming like this!" King Yu said very angrily.

"Well, let's go!" Zhang Hao said and walked outside, Yu Wang also followed Zhang Hao, and now Zhang Hao will take Yu Wang with him when he goes to do anything.

After all, Zhang Hao was also worried about what might happen to King Yu, so he could rest assured if he was by his side. Soon, Zhang Hao took King Yu to the Palace of King Lu,
King Lu's mansion knew the news in advance, and opened the door. They saw Zhang Hao coming, and then saw the young man beside Zhang Hao, who was King Yu. His Royal Highness!"

"Well, I have seen His Royal Highness King Lu!"

"Marquis Lu An, please!" King Lu then said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look!" Zhang Hao nodded with a smile and said, when he arrived at Prince Lu's mansion, Zhang Hao saw people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, all of them were the family members of King Lu, big and small, including infants.

"His Royal Highness King Lu, what do you mean?" Zhang Hao asked while standing there, looking at King Lu.

"Please Commander, please spare your life!" King Lu said to Zhang Hao, clasping his hands.

"Don't worry, I have laws in Ming Dynasty. Unless it is the Jiu Clan, I will spare the child's life. You, King Lu, haven't done that yet, have you? Your Highness, King Lu, who are you showing this to? You didn’t do less evil before, my files on you and King Lu’s family are as tall as a building, when you killed people, didn’t you think about such a day?” Zhang Hao looked at King Lu and said ,

King Lu stood there without speaking.

"Go back!" Zhang Hao said to the family members. The family members immediately stood up and left quickly. Zhang Hao stared at King Lu and said, "What do you want? You want to bully King Yu, who is young and inexperienced. Do you want King Yu to intercede with you, or use King Yu's youthful sympathy to intercede with His Majesty?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

King Lu was surprised at the moment.

"Don't dare, I think you are very courageous, didn't you let go of your words? As long as I, Zhang Hao, dare to come to Shandong, I will kill me, and I will gather those generals to rebel. Come on, you can build one for me!" " Zhang Hao looked at King Lu who continued to question, and King Lu dared not speak at this moment.
