If Mao Xiang was lazy in it, he would never let Mao Xiang and Hu Changan go!

However, when Mao Xiang heard this, he didn't panic at all: "Your Majesty, although the time is very short, we have indeed checked all the ministers, and none of them have been pulled down." ”

"This is the specific inventory list, please look at it."

As he spoke, Mao Xiao took out a stack of rice paper from his pocket and respectfully handed it to the eunuch on the side.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly walked up the steps and handed the rice paper to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang read the stack of rice paper carefully, and his face couldn't help but turn from cloudy to sunny.

On this, it is clearly recorded that a few years, months, and days have been checked, and several households have been checked.

It seems that every minister's family has already checked it carefully.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded with satisfaction.

Although he was still a little incredulous, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the records on it were all true.

After all, Jinyiwei is a personal soldier selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, even if they give them ten more guts, they will not lie to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang still has this confidence in Jinyiwei.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, but he was still puzzled: "Mao Xiang, why did you investigate so quickly this time?" ”

"In the later period, an average of four households a day were checked? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Mao Xiang also smiled and took the initiative to explain what Hu Changan had done.

From Arabic numerals to four operations, and then to the first digit accounting method, all the piles and piles are not hidden.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but admire.

I didn't expect that Hu Changan, this kid, not only has a hand in construction, but also has a deep accomplishment in arithmetic!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and then said to Mao Xiang: "Mao Xiang, in the future, your team will be responsible for auditing the accounts." ”

"From now on, all the treasury books and the accounts of the ministers will be inspected from time to time."

"If you find any corruption, report it to me immediately, and I will never spare it!"

At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was already a little hideous.

He hates those corrupt officials who eat inside and outside the house, if Hu Changan hadn't stopped him this time, he would have killed all the officials inside and outside the court a long time ago!

When the ministers heard this, they also hurriedly promised to be.

At this time, they almost no longer have the idea of corruption.

In the past, a large part of the reason for corruption was the lack of a sound verification system.

Although the penalties for corruption are severe, year after year, no one comes to check the accounts.

Over time, those harsh punishments became decorations.

After all, no one has come to catch corruption, and who will take the punishment after corruption seriously?

As a result, these officials, one by one, from small greed to big greed, gradually grew in appetite and embezzlement, and finally caused a monstrous disaster.

And now, they really don't dare.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is really moving, saying that he will check the accounts every year!

Since someone really comes to check the accounts, then the so-called punishment for corruption is no longer an ornament.

If you accidentally get caught, you're really going to be beheaded!

In the final analysis, these ministers are just powerless civil officials, and they can't afford to get along with their own people for a few taels of silver.

What's more, the methods of those brocade guards to check their accounts are really unheard of!

Arabic numerals or something, they'd never heard of before.

With such an advanced means of auditing, what fake accounts can't be found?

The officials were not confident that they could escape with such thunderous tactics.

Everyone was terrified.

Corruption is terrible, and they will never be corrupt again!

Looking at everyone's trembling looks, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, these courtiers are really scared now!

The next step is to give a sweet date a stick and give them a little reward.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang and said, "Mao Xiang, have you checked the population data that you asked you to check before?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, check it out." When Mao Xiang heard this, he hurriedly handed Zhu Yuanzhang a stack of rice paper.

This is a record of the population of all the ministers' families.

Whether it is a few elderly people in the family who need to be raised, or a few concubines in the family, all of them are registered.

However, with these data, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.

What are the mean, median, and mode numbers capitalized on this cover?

He could barely guess what that mean.

But what are these medians and modes?

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's puzzled eyes, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, on top of this original data, I have also made some explanations. ”

"Among them, the average, as the name suggests, refers to the average number of people in each household among all ministers."

"According to this data, all the ministers of the DPRK and China have an average of nine people in each household."

"As for the median, it is the number of people in the families of all the ministers in descending order, and the number of people in the middle of the minister's household is the number of people."

"The majority, on the other hand, refers to the number of ministers with the highest frequency of the population."

"The majority is 12, which means that among all the ministers, one household has the largest number of 12 people."

"The minister has submitted these three data, which is also convenient for His Majesty to make judgments based on them."

"After all, there are too many entries in the population data of all the ministers."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also nodded.

Originally, he planned to go back and study it for a few days after getting the data, but he didn't expect Hu Changan to help him get things done so intimately.

Looks like he'll be able to make a decision on the spot now!

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Since this is the case, let's take 12 people as the benchmark." ”

"The Yulu of the Qipin County Official, based on the calculation of 12 people in the family, is adjusted to 240 stone rice every year."

"For every liter of a product, the official will increase his income by 150 stones."

Zhu Yuanzhang's adjustment this time is not ungenerous.

Although the annual income of the first-grade officials has not changed much, the income of the seven-grade county officials has doubled compared to before!

In this way, the life of low-level officials will definitely be much richer!

The ministers under the steps were all smiling.

The salary increase is good, the salary increase is wonderful.

In this way, even if they are not corrupt, their whole family can live a good life eating meat!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone's excited eyes, and coughed lightly, and said, "Since I have added money to you, then you will no longer be able to be corrupt in the future!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" When everyone heard this, they all replied energetically.

This time, their answers sounded obviously a little more sincere than before.
