Chapter 355: The First Major Case of the Ming Dynasty

When they came to the British Palace, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong saw that Zhu Han was sharpening his sword and wiping his armor, and seeing this scene made Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong's hearts tighten.

What do you do with a good sharpening sword? Zhu Biao wouldn't be going out, would he?

Zhu Biao was suddenly anxious, and now he was about to rely on Zhu Han to clarify the account books of the household department, Zhu Han couldn't leave at this time.

Hurriedly stepped forward, Zhu Biao asked Zhu Han, "Uncle, what are you sharpening your sword for?" Going out? ”

Hu Weiyong didn't want his only thigh to leave Yingtian now, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I have discovered a major event that endangers the treasury and the court, so you must not leave Yingtian at this time." ”

As he spoke, Hu Weiyong knelt down and kowtowed, begging Zhu Han not to leave the court.

“……”

Zhu Han is also a little confused, when did he say that he was going to leave Yingtian?

"I won't leave Yingtian for the time being, you two have something to say, don't kowtow."

Hu Weiyong is good everywhere, but he is too high-profile, his mouth is like a colander, he does one thing, so that the whole Ying Tian knows that he is white, and without waiting for Zhu Biao to start talking about things, Zhu Han directly knocked Hu Weiyong in front of Zhu Biao: "Hu Weiyong, let you follow the prince, not to let you shout and show off your might, but to let you do your best to assist the left, if I find out that the matter you discussed with the prince is known to outsiders, I will break your legs!" ”

Hearing Zhu Han's reprimand, Hu Weiyong called a comfortable body.

can still be scolded by Zhu Han, which means that he still has some use in Zhu Han's heart, and he will not be bored by Zhu Han, he quickly stood up and said to Zhu Han: "Please rest assured, Your Highness the Prince, I will follow His Royal Highness the Prince, from now on I will have no mouth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will say whatever he asks me, and I will not say anything else!" ”

“……”

Zhu Biao was also speechless.

Hu Weiyong is really a dog!

Zhu Biao ignored Hu Weiyong, but said directly to Zhu Han: "Uncle, Hu Weiyong and I studied the book you gave to the audit, checked the information of the household department, and really found out the problem. ”

Hu Weiyong added next to him: "Your Highness, you mentioned in the book you gave us that the development of each place is high and low, but it should be an upward trend, and this trend is closely related to the population, but when we checked the tax accounts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang, we found that this account book has almost not changed year after year, and since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the tax revenue has only increased by seventy percent, while the population has increased fivefold, the difference is so big, it is impossible!" You must know that Fumin, which is close to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has seen a sevenfold increase in taxes! ”

The tax of the Ming Dynasty is very simple, grain tax and commercial tax, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions as the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade ports, hundreds of thousands of ships come and go every year, and the Ming Dynasty in order to promote the development of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fumin regions, they have introduced a series of preferential policies, two percent of the tax is reserved for local use, for the development of people's livelihood, there are many merchants in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, plus the island is now completely under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the ports of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are more than Fumin.

And Fumin, where the port does not have an advantage, has increased its tax revenue by seven times, while Jiangsu and Zhejiang have only increased by seventy percent, and if there is no problem, there will be ghosts.

This is a problem in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as Huguang.

Huguang is the place that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han focused on and cared for, because here at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were the most wars in the place, Mengyuan, Daming, Han Song, Red Turban and other forces were fighting here, and the fight was tragic, and in the end, when Zhu Yuanzhang received Huguang, it is not an exaggeration to describe Huguang with ten rooms and nine emptiness, Huguang is a large province and a major grain production area, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang both think that this place is important, so they moved a large number of people to fill the vacancy.

Hu Weiyong told Zhu Han that over the years, the land in Huguang has not increased, and it is still the same as before, but the population has increased by 3 million, which is already very revealing.

Huguang is a major grain producing area.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang, an important town of maritime trade.

There was a problem in these two places at the same time, and Rao is Zhu Han thought that he should be sure when he encountered something, and his expression couldn't help but become serious at this time.

It's a big deal.

This has nothing to do with Zhu Han, but it will definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang angry enough, Zhu Yuanzhang rules the country with an iron fist, and there is no sand in his eyes, in the ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how many officials were cramped and lit by Zhu Yuanzhang because of greed for ink and hundreds of taels of silver?

Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang are very important, if there is a problem in these two places, it is a big trouble, and I don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

"Biao'er, this matter must be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law!"

Zhu Han's face became very serious, and while saying to Zhu Biao, he also reminded Hu Weiyong next to him: "And you, Hu Weiyong, before this matter is investigated, it is not allowed to leak the slightest rumor, if our speculation is confirmed, we must not wronged a good person, but never let go of a bad person, this matter must be done, it will be done as an iron eucalyptus!" ”

Hu Weiyong saw Zhu Han's rare seriousness, and immediately responded: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Zhu Biao also nodded: "Uncle, I understand." ”

After the two left, Zhu Han's face was still ugly, he picked up the long knife in his hand, and his eyes showed a cold glow.

Although Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong reported that there was no definite evidence and no implementation of the matter, Zhu Han had already vaguely guessed that there must be a big eucalyptus among them.

Ten years, Daming has only passed ten years.

Is there anyone who can't wait to be a vampire?

Then let me see if your head is harder, or if my knife is sharper!

Zhu Han called over to a family member and told him, "Go find Tang He and say I want to see him!" ”

The family members of the British Royal Mansion were Zhu Han's personal guards, Zhu Han didn't want to participate in the affairs of the court, so they also retreated from the army and entered the British Royal Mansion as family members, but no one dared to underestimate them.

The family members who can become the British Prince's Mansion are all brave people who are a hundred.

These people have been following Zhu Han for a very long time, and seeing Zhu Han's rare seriousness, the family also realized the seriousness of the matter in Zhu Han's eyes, and immediately bowed down to receive the order and went to find Tang He.

After ordering someone to find Tang He, Zhu Han immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

If the deficit between Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and Guangzhou is true, with the size of Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong, it is impossible to withstand the pressure of the court, so at this time, Zhu Han must come out, and he must inform Zhu Yuanzhang in advance to avoid trouble in the future.

……

In the original history, Tang He returned to Huaixi after the founding of the Ming Dynasty and helped Zhu Yuanzhang return to his hometown to build the imperial city, but now he did not, because of the appearance of Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so vigilant against these Huaixi nobles, Tang He was named the Duke of Xinguo, and still stayed in Yingtianfu.

Tang He learned that Zhu Han was looking for him, and he also realized that something was wrong, because usually except for holidays, Zhu Han would not contact them, and even if there were, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted that the big guys would party together, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang was out, Zhu Han would not call them, but now it has broken Tang He's perception of Zhu Han, and Tang He is of course suspicious.

When he came to the British Palace, Tang He was directly invited into the study, and there was a family handle outside the study, looking murderous, and Tang He was furious in his heart.

What's wrong with this?

Does anyone want to rebel while Zhu Yuanzhang is not there?

Pushing open the door and walking in, he was startled when he saw Zhu Han wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, and immediately realized that his previous guess was true, and he really encountered a big event.

Five-clawed dragon robe...... In fact, it is a dragon robe, when Zhu Yuanzhang named Zhu Han as the king of England, gave him the dragon robe together, and declared that this was a dragon robe, which represents Zhu Yuanzhang's debt to Zhu Han, and also means a promise of Zhu Yuanzhang: In the world of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han can replace him!

"Brother Tang, sit."

Zhu Han looked at the suspicious Tang He, smiled and said, "Brother Tang saw me wearing a royal robe for the first time, was it a little surprised?" ”

"It's really an accident, but I don't know your personality yet, if it wasn't a big deal, you would never wear it like this."

Tang He sat down with a relaxed expression and said to Zhu Han: "Tell me, what trouble have you encountered in Qiwu, and you need my brother to come forward?" I'll tell you, you're going to have to give me a drink when I'm done with you. ”

In this way, it was Tang He who showed his attitude to Zhu Han: If you have anything, just say it, even if you want to rebel, brother, I will accompany you to do it!

Zhu Han knew that Tang He deliberately said this, which meant that Zhu Han would get straight to the point, Zhu Han was not polite, and said directly: "Biao'er is checking the accounts of the household department, and found that someone has filled his own pockets, if this matter is true, it will become the first eucalyptus of my Ming Dynasty, this matter Biao'er can't do it, we have to do it." ”

Hearing Zhu Han say this, Tang He's face became serious, and his tone also became low: "Someone stole money from our treasury? Lao Tzu cracked him alive! ”

"I want to kill him alive, too, but I don't know who it is yet."

Zhu Han looked at Tang He, signaled him to be calm, and then said: "Brother Tang, I know that my brother trusts you very much, and the people my brother handed over to you, you have to make them move and pick the most trustworthy person to do it, I don't know how many people are involved." ”

Tang He immediately said without thinking: "Okay! ”

Zhu Han saw Tang He agree, and then arranged: "You find time to find Biao'er and follow his instructions, but you can't listen to him, he is still young, and there will be mistakes in his handling of some things, you have to help him plug those omissions." ”

"Understood!"

Tang He now knows what Zhu Han means by looking for him, and the first eucalyptus of the founding of the Ming Dynasty found out, the credit is Zhu Biao, but the black pot wants him to carry it with Zhu Han, this kind of thankless and offending work...... It is most suitable for soup and cooking.

After all, the people he helped Zhu Yuanzhang manage, that team, were the ones who carried the black pot.

Captain of the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion: Tang He!

In later generations, another identity of this brother's pro-army governor's mansion is even more terrifying: Jinyiwei!

Seeing that Tang He agreed, Zhu Han continued: "You come to help Biao'er, and I will deal with the others." ”

Tang He nodded, and pretended to be relaxed: "If you go out on the seventh or fifth day, it won't be a problem for the others, but I don't know how many old brothers will be involved." ”

"I hope this lesson will make them afraid!"

Zhu Han's tone was cold, "I don't want to point the knife at the old brothers, I hope they have nothing to do with this matter." ”

"I hope so."

Tang He was also a little distressed, and said helplessly: "How long has it been, why has people's hearts changed?" ”

Although there is no substantial evidence that this matter has anything to do with the founding fathers, whether it is Zhu Han or Tang He, they all understand that if there is no big backer behind this matter, other small characters will never dare to do this.

……

After Zhu Yuanzhang left from Yumen Pass, he kept going west, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was regarded as the border line of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty only fought down in other places, but it was not included in the map.

After coming here, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a person who surprised him very much: Lan Yu.

Seeing Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, and he asked:

"What are you doing here, kid isn't staying in Rome?"

"Your Majesty forgives you."

Lan Yu hurriedly apologized, and then explained: "The affairs of Rome, Zhou Buxin can finish it alone, Zhang Dingbian and I have nothing to do all day, so I heard that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother came to inspect, so I came over and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Lan Yu showed that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and the big deal was a meal of the board, and Lan Yu was used to it...... It is no longer possible to use the merits of defeating Rome and subduing the Ottomans and Hungary, anyway, he wants to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You bastard, you still look like a hairy monkey after two years of not seeing you."

Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on Lan Yu's head with a horsewhip, and did not pursue him again: "Let's go, go around with us, I hunted a deer just now, and stewed it at night." ”

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang not only blamed himself, but wanted to reward himself with a meal of venison, the smile on Lan Yu's face became even brighter: "Okay, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Lan Yu with a meal of wine, and went to sleep groggily at night, but before he could sleep well, he heard Yuan Qi outside suddenly wake him up, and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of England sent it urgently for eight hundred miles, and the slave didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly sent it to you." ”

Zhu Han sent a fold?

This made Zhu Yuanzhang unexpected, Zhu Han wrote letters to him or Ma Xiuying on weekdays, which was a twist and turn...... He hasn't played a concert since the founding of the country, has he?

What happened to Ying Tianfu?

Someone is going to rebel?

That shouldn't be.

If someone rebels, Zhu Han will settle the matter himself, and there is no need to write a recital at all.

Ma Xiuying, who was sleeping next to her, was also awakened and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Seventh Five-Year Ticket has been sent, it should be a big deal, you should hurry up and take a look." ”

"We know."

Zhu Yuanzhang put on his shoes, walked to the door and took the fold, and when he returned to the room, he looked at the candlelight next to him, and the more he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, the more gloomy he became, and then he put the fold together and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing!" ”

Ma Xiuying also walked over with her clothes on, and when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang so annoyed, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the fold to Ma Xiuying, still very angry: "Look at it, we have raised a group of things in the ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!" Sons of bitches, let's take them for granted! Tear out their hearts and see what color it is! ”
