Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"Xiao Guo!"

"You are the Minister of Revenue, how can you not remember these things?"

Guo Yunhou finally reacted!

Damn it, this old guy is setting a trap for himself!

Are you willing to give up your reputation just to be a lone minister?

His face flushed and he retorted unwillingly.

"Mr. Wen! Do you know how many account books the Ministry of Revenue has?"

"If they were all piled together, they would be enough to fill up this huge Palace of Heavenly Purity!"

"How can I remember all of them?"

This answer, in his opinion, was also correct.

But he forgot one thing!

In Ming Dynasty!

Some people can pay attention to every detail and remember everything they see!

That beast was squatting right in front of him!

Chapter 216 Why don’t you dig up other people’s ancestral graves?

Wen Tiren smiled, and all the wrinkles on his face came together.

"Xiao Guo, how come I can remember it?"

"Until the seventh year of the Apocalypse!"

"My Ming Dynasty has 740 million acres of land!"

"219 million mu of paddy fields and 521 million mu of dry land!"

"Among them, 130 million mu of paddy fields are planted with rice, 80% of which are harvested twice a year, and the remaining 20% ​​are harvested once a year."

"Last year's rice production was about 42.1 billion catties, equivalent to 310 million dan!"

"........."

This old fellow actually answered all the questions that he had just asked Guo Yunhou in detail!

Even Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, was stunned!

Damn it!

Isn't this too much of a beast?

From the acreage of land, to the yield per acre, and then to the taxable grain!

From the total population, to the ratio of men to women, and then to the ratio of scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen!

He even told us how many people died and how many people were born every year during the seven years of the Tianqi Dynasty!

These strings of numbers, added together, can at least fill up an A3-sized piece of rice paper!

How did he remember it?

Guo Yunhou was kneeling there like a fool, his mouth open so wide that a sheep's ball could be stuffed in!

He just couldn't remember the numbers, but if someone mentioned them, he could still tell the real from the fake.

This plague...

He was right about everything!

And not a single word is wrong!

Wen Tiren was very proud of his reaction, and then finally revealed the real purpose of why he asked these questions.

"Master Guo!"

"Tell me, when dealing with this kind of thing, is it better to use a fool who can only read books, or one of those accountants who is proficient in mathematics and has a photographic memory for numbers?"

Guo Yunhou answered subconsciously: "Account, account office!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong and quickly refuted it.

"But Lord Wen, they are just accountants..."

But Wen Tiren didn't even give him the chance to finish his words!

"Well, you don't have to say the rest. I still have something to ask the other adults. I can't spend too much time on you, otherwise His Majesty will have to spend money to treat us to a meal in the palace again!"

After saying this, he left Guo Yunhou, who had a messy face, and looked at Su Maoxiang, the Minister of Justice next to him.

"Xiao Su, how about you answer a few questions for me?"

Su Maoxiang suddenly felt something was wrong. He subconsciously glanced at Zhu Youxiao, only to find that his emperor's originally angry face had turned into a smile!

The emperor was sitting behind the desk, looking at them with a smile!

Su Maoxiang was depressed, hung his head and muttered something.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wen!"

Wen Tiren feels that he is in better shape than ever today!

In ancient times, Zhuge Liang debated with many scholars, and now we have Old Wen overpowering the six ministries!

Comfortable! !

After thinking for a while, a barrage of questions came out of his mouth.

"Well, please answer me, Xiao Su, how many cases have been reported from various places in the seventh year of Tianqi?"

"How many of the five major crimes, treason, murder, rape, theft, and robbery, account for in the total?"

"At the same time, among the main culprits of these five major crimes, how many are male, how many are female, how many are old, and how many are young?"

"If anything else..."

As these questions were asked one after another, Su Maoxiang was close to collapse!

These questions, like Tang Monk's tight hoop, made him feel suffocated!

Until finally, he covered his ears with his hands and shook his head frantically.

"Don't say it, I can't remember clearly..."

Wen Tiren shook his head in disappointment: "Sir Su, you are the Minister of Justice and have been an official for many years!"

"If even you can't figure this out, how can you guarantee that the candidates will be competent?"

"But I know a group of people who can do the job!"

"Those lawyers who are always active in the government offices, fighting lawsuits for others!"

"Not only do they remember these, they are also very good at finding loopholes in the law."

"To put it bluntly, if you were to go to court with them, Lord Su, it's not certain who would win!"

Then, his gaze turned to the Minister of Personnel Wang Yongguang.

"You are Xiao Wang, right?"

"Come, come, let me ask you a few questions about official assessment..."

Guo Yunhou and Su Maoxiang fell one after another, and Wang Yongguang was always paying attention to this side.

Before Wen Tiren could finish his question, he shuddered, then held his stomach and screamed.

"Ah...it hurts! It hurts so much!"

He shouted and rolled on the ground, and beads of sweat the size of beans soon wet his hair at the temples.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending, Zhu Youxiao also became nervous.

"Someone! Go and call the imperial physician!"

Wang Yongguang shook his head palely and refused: "No, no need, Your Majesty, I probably had an upset stomach after breakfast........."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I want to go to the toilet first!"

Zhu Youxiao:..........

Is it such a coincidence?

My stomach hurts at this time. Do I need to go out to poop?

He immediately waved his hand and said, "No need to run outside!"

"Someone, get the toilet and screen!"

Wen Tiren was grinning and nodding beside him.

"Your Majesty cares for us, and it is a blessing for us!"

"This way, it won't delay Lord Wang's answer!"

Wang Yongguang was stunned!

In order to avoid Wen Tiren's attack, he twisted his belly several times with his right hand covering his stomach, which made him look so miserable!

But now......

Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to shit in the Qianqing Palace!

What's more, it's useless to shit!

Hard squeeze?

It's even more troublesome that you can't squeeze out after putting on this miserable look!

He could only bite the bullet and slowly get up from the ground, looking at Wen Tiren with resentment.

"Master Wen, please ask. I can still bear it for a while!"

But Sun Chengzong next to him stood up, stroked his beard and spoke calmly.

"Lord Wen, there is no need to ask any more questions!"

"You are a cabinet minister, you can read all the documents of the six ministries!"

"With your ability, it would be easy to stump us. Why bother?"

Wen Tiren had his little secret exposed, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He bowed to Sun Chengzong.

"Master Sun, what are you talking about? You are His Majesty's teacher. Even if I am blind, I dare not embarrass you, right?"

After saying this, he glanced at everyone again, then cleared his throat and spoke in a sonorous voice.

"Everyone!"

"The reason why I asked you these questions is just to let you know!"

"We have been officials for many years, but we are still not able to handle government affairs with ease, let alone those scholars who only know how to study?"

"Your Majesty is ambitious and intends to revive the Ming Dynasty!"

"As subjects, we should serve you even to the death!"

"Now someone is manipulating the imperial examinations, causing the imperial court to lose face!"

"Your Majesty is wise and has proposed reforming the imperial examination system. This move can not only save face, but also turn passivity into initiative!"

"Since those people have lost their dignity, why should we save face for them?"

"According to my temper, not only should I not give them face, I should also strip them of their underwear!"

"Let the world see their true colors!"

"Let those scholars who are willing to be controlled by them know which side they should stand on in the face of justice!"

After saying this, he turned to Zhu Youxiao and bowed deeply.

"His Majesty!"

"I think the reform is feasible!"

"But I propose that all the scholars who boycotted the exams, after being verified by the Royal Guards, not only should their academic titles be revoked and they should never be employed again, but their three generations up to and including the next three generations should also be investigated!"
