Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 246
[Note: There is a bug in the last chapter. Tongxiang County was established by the father of Tianzi Mingmen. It didn’t exist at this time, so it was changed to Chongde County, sorry. 】

The third child was also a resolute master. Now that he had made up his mind, he immediately left the Golden Lotus Courtyard, changed into a dragon suit, and entered the Forbidden City with the sixth child before the palace gate was closed.

But they didn't go to see the father right away, but turned a corner and came to the Wenhua Palace.

In the eyes of the two, the crown prince is the father... Uh, there seems to be ambiguity in saying so.In short, anyway, it is completely unimaginable for the two of them to report such outrageous things directly to the father, skipping the eldest brother.

The reason is very simple, if the father wants to beat him up, his elder brother will protect him; if the elder brother wants to beat him up, his father will not protect him...

In the Wenhua Palace.

The prince finished his busy day and was about to go back to the palace for dinner when he saw the two younger brothers hurrying in.

Brothers don't need to report to him when they come to him.

Zhu Biao got up with a smile and greeted him: "You two are well, let's go to have dinner together."

"I can't take care of it, big brother." The third child waved his hand to let the servants go down, and then handed over the blank printing paper.

"..." Zhu Biao took a look at it, but he didn't realize the lethality of this piece of paper instantly like the sixth child.

This is not to say that the crown prince is not as good as Zhu Zhen, but that the sixth child knows the answer, and it will be clear at a glance when he looks at the question again.

However, based on Zhu Biao's rich experience in government affairs, he still sees something wrong.

This account paper should be used to record the amount of autumn tax sent to the higher-level Yamen from Chongde County, that is, Jiaxing Prefecture.

After the government collects the tax amount of each county, it reports to the province.After the province collects the tax amount of each prefecture, it reports to the Ministry of Household Affairs.In this way, the Ministry of Household Affairs can summarize the total autumn taxes of the twelve provinces across the country this year.

Normally, each county should report to the government immediately after collecting the autumn tax, and each government should summarize the amount for each county before October every year.

It is already the first month of the ninth year of Hongwu, and it should be time for the provinces to send people to Beijing to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs.There shouldn't be any account papers from last year's county in the capital, and it's still blank with stamps.

This is even more outrageous.The common people know that it should be recorded first and then printed to ensure the authenticity of the content.

"The magistrate of Chongde County is confused. How can he use seals before keeping accounts? If the people below fill in randomly, does he still want black yarn and his head?!" The more the prince thought about it, the more angry he became, and asked: "This account Where did the paper come from?"

"Brother, don't you know that I am ordered by my father to monitor the officials who come to Beijing." As Zhu Biao's number one fanboy, naturally he has to tell his elder brother everything. "It's still you who told me that they came to Beijing to talk... Oh no, they filed taxes."

"Yeah." Zhu Biao nodded, there is such a thing.

"I won't talk about how to monitor. From their conversations, I learned that the ministry and the province are arguing, the province and the government are arguing, and the government and the county are arguing. In short, the top and bottom have been arguing. .” Zhu went on to report:

"At this time, one of my female historians received the Chongde county magistrate. My eldest brother knows that the female historian of Qinhuai River is not just about giving money, but also has to be in their eyes."

"I don't know!" Zhu Biao coughed for a while, and glared at the third child, thinking that he was destroying his image in the sixth child's heart.

"Hey, don't you know now?" Zhu Jianjian smiled, and continued: "Anyway, that's what happened. In order to support the scene, the Chongde county magistrate revealed his identity. My female history didn't believe it, saying that he didn't look like a As an official, the county magistrate showed her his official report.

"There are still a few pages of blank paper in his official report. Even the female historian knows that there is a problem with using official seals on blank paper. So I asked him how dare the county magistrate use seals on white paper. He said everyone It's nothing to do like this. Nu Shi secretly hid this page while he was falling asleep from exhaustion."

"You mean, this blank ledger was found from the Chongde county magistrate?" The prince's eyes froze, and he had already realized the seriousness of the situation. "Is he also talking about counting?"

"Yes." The third child nodded and said, "According to our investigation, although it is not his turn to talk to the household department. But after the province has finished talking, it must be distributed to the government, and then the government will distribute it to the county, up and down. It has to be negotiated, so he also came to the capital on behalf of the county magistrate..."

"A bunch of bastards!" The prince suddenly punched the table heavily, cursing:
"Officials from all provinces and counties across the country, running to the capital together to tell the numbers is outrageous enough! Are they openly carrying empty accounting papers so that they can make accounts on the spot? Isn't this lighting lanterns in a latrine-looking for death?!"

"It's too arrogant." King Jin nodded and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"You just follow me to see the emperor, the matter is too big, I can only ask the holy judge." The prince said with a dark face.

"Father... will set off a big prison?" Jin Wang swallowed and said.

"Let's just lift it up, it doesn't make sense for others to treat us as fools, and we still have to worry about their lives!" Zhu Biao snorted, took two steps, and then said in a low voice: "I will supervise this case, and try to make the emperor less murderous." Bar."

"En." Jin Wang nodded, thinking that this is the best.

He was worried that if his father killed too many people, it would be troublesome for the government and the public to settle the account on him...

Qianqing Palace.

Boss Zhu didn't get angry on the spot as his sons imagined. He actually smiled when he looked at the blank printing paper in his hand.

Laughing very scary.

"Did you see it, sons? No one is with us men." He shook the blank paper, and said with a strange smile:
"It has only been a few years since the founding of the country? Our ministers, from the central government to the local government, dare to blatantly and collectively falsify accounts, echoing from top to bottom, 'all in one mind', and join hands in corruption! It is really eye-opening."

"Yes." The prince and the others nodded silently, indeed they did not take their family seriously.

"If this wave is not stopped, our newly founded Ming Dynasty will not have to go through a period of governance, prosperity, prosperity and decline. If it is in place in one step, it will be reduced to the end of the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang gently stroked the empty printing paper road:

"But it's normal. Which of the local officials didn't come here at the end of the Yuan Dynasty? The Yuan Dynasty lost the world, and they all have to remember their merits. How could it be possible for me to turn over a new leaf and start a new life in Ming Dynasty?
"Of course, dogs can't change eating shit. If I move the same thing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty to my Ming Dynasty, then Daming will naturally become the end of the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang's smile became more and more menacing.

"Okay, that's great. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to catch them all..."

"Father calm down, it's hard to say that everyone is like this, maybe it's just a few bold people who dare to do this." The prince said softly.

"Want to know? It's easy." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice and said, "Liu Ying."

"Humble position here." Liu Ying immediately entered the hall upon hearing the sound.

"Assemble all the soldiers and horses of the pro-military captain's mansion immediately, and the local officials who have entered the capital from the whole city!" Boss Zhu ordered in a deep voice; "Search their luggage and belongings, and if you find a blank paper with a seal on it, you will be sent to the capital!" Catch them all! Go..."

"Yes!" Liu Ying took the order loudly, immediately withdrew, and went to carry out the decree...
