When Hu Changan heard this, he also said with a straight face: "The minister thinks that the ministers should be improved." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

This Hu Changan is really not afraid of death!

This time, it definitely touched Zhu Yuanzhang's reverse scales.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed dangerously: "Hu Shilang, you should tell me about it, where is this official's salary?" ”

"The official of the first product of the DPRK, the moon is eighty-seven stones!"

"In this year, it's a thousand stone of rice."

"The production of this thousand-stone rice requires more than 50 strong laborers to work hard for a whole year."

"Fifty people for one person, isn't that too little?"

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a little annoyed.

In his heart, this is definitely not low.

Even in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, such treatment is already generous.

He never expected that even Hu Changan would dare to go against him, thinking that there were too few people.

Is it because he makes too much money that he can't look down on this little money anymore?

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but slap the table, and yelled at the ministers: "Tell me, are you still too little to have so many money?" ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to squeak.

The corruption storm has not passed just now, and now I stand up and say that there are too few people, which is simply too long.

Even if they really feel that the salary is too low, they are not afraid to speak.

However, when Hu Changan heard this, he was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are afraid of your majesty, so naturally they will not tell you the truth." ”

"But I'm here to settle the score for you."

"Taking a Qipin county official as an example, the annual salary of a Qipin county official is about twelve stones of rice."

"That's the equivalent of a year's harvest for five strong laborers."

"In other words, these twelve stones of rice can feed about five people."

"According to His Majesty's algorithm, an ordinary family is indeed only about four or five people."

"But in reality, how many officials have only five people in their families?"

"The average official is old and young, these two old people, a wife and two children, add up to a family of five."

"Not to mention that as long as you are an official now, you will find a few little maids at home, and even take a few concubines in the family."

"In this way, the original standard of five people has seriously exceeded the standard."

"Coupled with the fact that you have to walk around during the New Year's holidays, these meager salaries are even more stretched."

"So in poverty, these officials can only take risks and embezzle the hard-earned money of the people."

"The minister believes that if you want officials not to be corrupt, you must appropriately raise the salaries of officials."

"Only when officials live a prosperous life will they not use their brains and think about corruption."

"Coupled with His Majesty's two-pronged approach to severe punishment and strict laws, we will definitely be able to fundamentally eradicate the phenomenon of corruption!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also fell into deep thought.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, Hu Changan dialed it a little, and Zhu Yuanzhang also woke up.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and suddenly said by name: "Hubu Du Yan, tell me, how many mouths do you need to support in your family?" ”

Du Yan was suddenly named, and he was also stunned.

But after a while, Du Yan reacted, and said respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of eight people in the minister's family who need to be supported. ”

"These eight people are the minister's parents, the minister's wife and concubine, the minister's three children, and a maid."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also flashed.

I didn't expect this matter to be really as Hu Changan said, if you randomly point to an official, there are enough eight people in the family to support!

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sank, and he continued to ask: "I don't know if you are quite comfortable at home now?" How many meals of meat do you eat in a month? ”

Hearing this, Du Yan also replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister's family is still well-off. ”

"My wife and concubine will make some female celebrities to subsidize the family, and my parents will also grow some vegetables to eat."

"We can eat meat about twice a month."

Although Du Yan said it lightly, everyone in the court bowed to Du Yan with bitter tears.

This official is indeed shabby.

Not only the wife has to work to support the family, but even the parents have to work in the fields.

And in this month, I can only eat meat twice!

This is simply inferior to the lives of some wealthy peasants!

No wonder Na Du Yan looks like this = weak and can't help the wind, it turns out that he is all hungry!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it.

As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang does not eat meat all at once, but he can eat meat for at least 20 days in a month.

He never expected that as an official of the imperial court, this Du Yan would be so cold!

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but understand Hu Changan's words.

It seems that sometimes it is a last resort to take risks.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to another minister and asked, "Wang Aiqing of the Ministry of Rites, tell me how many people you have in your family?" ”

The minister who was called was taken aback.

After being stunned for a moment, the minister hurriedly replied: "If you go back to Your Majesty, there are a total of ten people in the minister's family. ”

"These ten people are the minister's old mother, the minister's wife and two concubines, the minister's four children, and two little servants."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also sighed slightly.

It seems that this big family is even more lively than Du Yan's before.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang randomly selected more than a dozen people in the court.

Among these dozen people, none of them are a family of five.

The least of these people also has seven mouths to feed in their homes.

And the most of them, there are fifteen people in the family to feed!

Zhu Yuanzhang's previous set is a drop in the bucket!

is as stubborn as Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has to believe Hu Changan's words.

It seems that the corruption of these officials does have his problems.

In such a poor life, I am afraid that even the peasants are not as good.

It is no wonder that some of these people who are not strong-willed take risks and think about corruption!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little indignant: "Hu Aiqing, I know what you mean." ”

"But even so, that's not a reason for them to be corrupt!"

"If it's not enough, they can talk to me."

"They shouldn't have done anything to innocent people!"

"They deserve to be punished no matter what!"

"And although what you said Hu Aiqing makes sense, how should this salary standard be customized?"

"I think no matter how high the setting is, there will always be people who are greedy enough to swallow the elephant and continue to attack the people!"
