Yangzhou Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhu Changluo has not been idle these days, the yellow books stored in Yangzhou Mansion are copies of the yellow books that were saved four years ago when the yellow books were made, and it is relatively easy to count, but after these are over, the yellow books and verification results that have been sent to Yangzhou Mansion one after another are the most important thing!

Taixing County was the first to complete, and the original estimate is not much worse, the number of household registrations registered in the Yellow Book of Taixing County, and the actual difference of more than 6,700 households, that is to say, this alone, Taixing County has to levy hundreds of more conscripts every year.

However, what Zhu Changluo noticed was not this, what he noticed was the time of forging the yellow book.

"According to the inventory of the Yellow Book over the years and the people said, the time to forge the Yellow Book should be around the sixteenth year of Wanli, when it was the year of the Yellow Book, but Yangzhou was in the midst of a great drought, famine all over the wilderness, and the people were displaced, according to the government records, the then Yangzhou Governor Yang delayed for a few days, and finally released the grain, to help the people through the famine, and then reduced taxes, and rested with the people, so that the Yellow Book inventory of the year did not decrease, but increased, presumably from that time, the Yellow Book began to be forged!"

Liu Yuanlin looked at the Fu Zhi on the case, and after a while, he raised his head and said.

It's just that there is a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

"In this way, this Lord Yang is still in the court now?"

Zhu Changluo naturally did not let go of the change in Liu Yuanlin's face, and he could guess why he was worried, it has been nearly fifteen years since that big yellow book was made, and since this person has already achieved the position of Yangzhou prefect, presumably in the past ten years, he will not stand still.

The one who can make a feudal official like Liu Yuanlin jealous must be a big man in the court!

Liu Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, according to the records of the Mansion, the person who served as the prefect of Yangzhou in the sixteenth year of Wanli is Lord Yang Junmin Yang!"

"Yang Junmin, the head of the household?"

Zhu Changluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face also changed.

That's a big fish!

The six departments of the imperial court, especially the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, are the most powerful, and the real power is the heaviest.

In particular, Yang Junmin is not a person without roots, he has been transferred to the head of the household department since the 22nd year of Wanli, and it has been nearly eight years since then, and he has managed the household department without leakage, and is deeply trusted by the emperor.

And he was born in a famous family, and his father was the late Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who had military merits, so he made friends all over the place, and was a force that could never be ignored in the government and the opposition.

Liu Yuanlin sighed and said.

"Yes, at that time, Yangzhou suffered a major drought and the people were displaced, but Lord Yang handled it effectively, and it did not cause much loss, but made the people safe, and it happened to be the year of the official examination, so it didn't take long for Lord Yang to be transferred to Beijing as a household waiter, and he was also in charge of the warehouse!"

At this point, Liu Yuanlin's face was complicated, from the prefect of Yangzhou to the household servant, this can be said to be the most important step in Yang Junmin's career, but who would have thought that his step was actually taken by this means.

The matter has come to this point, and the matter is already very clear, the root of the forgery of the yellow book is in Yang Junmin's body, in the news obtained from the many visits of Fuzhi and Liu Yuanlin.

It can be explained that this Yang Governor, today's Yang Shangshu is a capable official, a cadre, in the years he served as the Yangzhou Governor, the people of Yangzhou Mansion are safe and prosperous.

But in the last and most important year of his tenure, a drought broke out, and by the time Yang Junmin reacted, the drought had already caused serious consequences.

The people had no income, they were displaced, and a large number of fugitives appeared, and if he had truthfully registered the yellow register at that time, the number of households would have declined, and even if he did not fall to the lower rank in the evaluation of the officials, it was hopeless to be promoted.

So in the face of conscience and future, he finally succumbed, and that year's big yellow book was made, and the result was that the number of households did not decrease, but increased slightly!

Coupled with Yang Junmin's achievements in recent years and a strong network of connections, he was naturally transferred to the head of the household department, and then moved to the position of household secretary.

But it turned Yangzhou Mansion into a mess!

"But this matter is inseparable from Lord Yang, but it is also very related to the next few prefects, after Lord Yang was the first, the successive prefects in the future, did not think about how to fill in the yellow book, but covered it everywhere, whitewashed the peace, so that now, the household registration on the yellow book is so different from the actual number!"

After a pause, a look of hatred flashed on Liu Yuanlin's face, and he said.

However, Zhu Changluo is not surprised, this is the biggest drawback of officialdom, all officials think about how to cover up problems when they occur, not how to solve them, they don't know that these problems will erupt one day, but as long as they don't break out in office, they won't blow up themselves.

So the problem was dragged bigger and bigger, it should be said that this matter can not be blamed entirely on Yang Junmin, Zhu Changluo saw this household secretary when he was in the imperial court, he is a capable minister, the household affairs are extremely complicated, and the treasury is difficult, such a large court operation, Yang Junmin is indispensable, and what is even more commendable is that Yang Junmin is honest and honest, and he is very respected by Shilin.

But it is such a capable minister and an honest minister, when faced with such an officialdom choice, he still chooses to cover up the problem......

"Investigate thoroughly, bring to justice!"

After a while, Zhu Changluo slowly spit out four words from his mouth.

After a pause, he seemed to sigh softly, but his eyebrows became firm.

"No matter who is involved, we must find it down!"

"But Your Highness ......"

Liu Yuanlin was stunned for a moment, and a burst of admiration rose in his heart, but there was a look of worry on his face that could not be hidden.

This case is too big, a single household book is enough to make people feel frightened, not to mention that it is also mixed with other forces, you must know that Yang Junmin is in Beijing after all, Liu Yuanlin does not believe that he alone can support the six departments of Nanjing.

What's more, if this case is really investigated thoroughly like what Zhu Changluo said, it will set off a huge wave!

You must know that a thorough investigation of the Yellow Book case means that starting from Yang Junmin, all the officials who have served as prefects in Yangzhou Mansion must be held accountable and questioned, and some of these people have now returned to their hometowns, and some continue to advance in their careers.

Once the responsibility is pursued, above the court, I am afraid it will be another bloody storm!

And more importantly, Zhu Changluo's doing this will touch the unspoken rules of officialdom for many years, and the rebound from this point is more serious and difficult to deal with than the sum of the previous ones.

After all, being above the court, no one wants one day that they will be inexplicably dismissed from office by their mistakes many years ago.

It's just that although he has the heart to persuade him, after so many days of getting along, he also knows that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks gentle and easy-going, he has a stubborn energy in his bones.

Now that he has made up his mind, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to change......
