The so-called private accounts are relative to the public accounts of the yamen.

In the past, the government of the officials was in vain, and the management of the yamen was chaotic, and the officials colluded with the local tyrants to try to hide or even alter the original fish scale atlas and running account book. Make it impossible for officials to collect taxes from large households.

But the officials themselves have to get hold of these data, which is the source of their gray income. Sometimes, Shangguan is urgent, and he has to rely on this to make the big family bleed to eliminate the disaster. Therefore, at the same time, they will privately rebuild the account books, as the guys who eat, and pass them on from father to son.

And Hu Weiyong asked Shen Li to build this book "Regardless of the Account Book", which is exactly this kind of thing. It's just that here, the official has become a bureaucrat, and the emperor has become an official.

"This gentleman is right, this account is not only our cornucopia, but also a talisman." Shen Liben nodded.

"That is, the collective corruption invented by Hu Xiang is more efficient and more convenient to negotiate with large households." Zhu Zhen teased angrily: "Otherwise, who would dare to knock the bamboo pole on the head?" Zhang Tianshi pinched an official to death, it was too easy. ”

"Your Highness is really knowledgeable, isn't that what it is." Shen Liben praised: "With the "Regardless of Account Book", it is clear how much benefit should be received every year. Zhengyi and those big families will not be harassed by the government, which can be described as two pennies. ”

"You're two poops, what about the court?! What about the people?! Zhu Zhen scolded angrily: "You eat fat intestines one by one, but you are poor in the court and miserable for the people!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's just that it's not something we created originally, it's just that it's so ......," Shen Liben explained cautiously.

"Is that right?!" Zhu Zhen became more and more angry and said:

"If it's right, the Yuan Dynasty won't die in the world! The reason why they died so quickly was because no one cared about being corrupt officials in the Yuan Dynasty! That's why my father has to take care of it fiercely, you corrupt officials who have brought disaster to the country and the people! ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand violently and commanded: "Take him down, don't give him food, and let him taste the hunger of the common people!" ”

"Your Highness, the sinner has said everything......" Shen Liben wailed and was dragged out of the main hall.

~~

At this time, it was getting dark, and Zhu Zhen finally remembered that Shu Laibao was still waiting outside, so he asked people to call him in.

When he was in the beggar gang before, Shu Laibao was still free with him. At this time, when he came to the palatial line, facing Zhu Zhen, who had restored the majesty of the prince, the former gang leader couldn't help but be restrained.

After kowtowing to His Royal Highness, Zhu Zhen asked him to get up and talk back.

"Tell me, why did you want to save Zhao Zheng?" King Chu asked softly.

"He is His Highness's bodyguard, and His Highness is the son of Master Zu, so he can be regarded as his own person." Shu Laibao smiled and said: "Isn't it natural for your own people to help your own people?" ”

"Nonsense." King Chu rolled his eyes and said lightly: "With this king, you'd better tell the truth." ”

The heart said that because this king didn't have a few words of truth, my father was full of nonsense. If everyone doesn't tell the truth, won't Daming become a country of lies?

"Well, it's actually because Liu is involved in politics." Shu Laibao hurriedly said:

"Although I, Shu Laibao, am a begger for food, I am not born to ask for food. When our family was in the Yuan Dynasty, we let corrupt officials collude with landlords and old wealth, and forced the family to go bankrupt, except for the villain, the whole family starved to death. ”

"That's a lot like my family." The sixth said softly.

Shu Lai Baoxin said that I don't have your father's ability. On his face, he said respectfully: "Hong Wuye is also from a poor background, and like us, he hates corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry the most, so we believe in him, and he is sincerely good for our poor people."

"So the notices posted by Liu Shenzheng and the leaflets that were distributed, I also found someone to read them to me. It's all vernacular that ordinary people can understand, and the truth can't be clearer, that is, 'those who have more land pay more taxes, and those who have less land pay less taxes', isn't this right? Shu Laibao's eyes were filled with tears and said:

"At that time, my family only had a total of five acres of thin land, but twenty years after the tax was collected. Why, because the landlord does not pay taxes, the government can only pay our heads! ”

"Now Emperor Hongwu has sent Liu Shen to change it, but the people are desperately trying to stop it. I knew that they were just blinded by those big dogs, and the big dogs were definitely not willing to change like this, so they asked the people to coax Liu to participate in politics. Shu Laibao sighed and said:

"I am soft-spoken, and I can't let the people know what is good or bad, but I know who is right and who is wrong."

"On the first day of the first lunar month, the disciples of our beggar gang unintentionally saved Brother Zhao, and the next day I heard that Liu was gone. I suspected that there was a relationship between the two of them. As soon as I asked, he was indeed Liu Shenzheng's bodyguard, and I was determined to save him and let him avenge Liu Shenzheng......"

After speaking, Shu Laibao smiled bitterly and said: "These highnesses may not believe it, how can a person named Hanako think that these are not available?" ”

"What's wrong with being called Hanako? I don't think the officials in the whole Jiangxi are as clear as you are called Hanako. Zhu Zhen beckoned him to sit down at the table and said:

"Besides, there's no shame in calling Hanako! My father was called Hanako, and this king was also called Hanako, and I am still your helper. ”

"Your Highness still recognizes this stubble?" Shu Laibao couldn't help but say in ecstasy.

"If you say this, does this king still speak?" Zhu Zhen said with a stinky face:

"You kid is really discerning, you don't want Xiong Qitai's 100,000 yuan bounty, but you want to worship the king as a helper. Tell you, follow this gang leader, that is called a bright future, but it is worth more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Yes, my subordinates are really lucky, and I will follow the helper to the soup in the future!" Shu Laibao hurriedly climbed up the pole.

The two were talking hotly, and Liu Li came in with a tray to cloth vegetables.

She has changed back into a plain skirt in Tsing Yi, although she has not applied powder, but it is difficult to hide her stunning color, which makes Shu Laibao stunned. But he has been a helper, and he knows what to look at and what not to see, so he quickly lowered his head.

"Don't be so restrained, this is also the brother in our gang." The sixth laughed.

"Huang Rong meets the deputy gang leader." Because the murderer has been arrested, Liu Li is in a good mood, and he also cooperated with the sixth child to give Shu Lai Bao a blessing.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Shu Laibao hurriedly got up to kowtow and return the salute, he was clear-minded, and knew that this little beauty who was following the King of Chu must have a lot to do with him.

"You stand up, you deserve this salute." Zhu Zhen said with a straight face. As he spoke, he took the letter in his hand and showed it to Liu Li. At the same time, it tells the story of Shu Lai Baoyi's rescue of Zhao Zheng.

At the end, Zhu Zhen said softly: "If there is no Shu Laibao to save him, Brother Zhao will definitely die." Although Xiong Qitai will definitely not be able to escape, he will not be able to find out the people behind him, let alone know the tragic struggle experience of the senior brother......"

After reading the letter and listening to Uncle Xiao's statement, Liu Li had already cried into tears, and she didn't notice why the sixth child held down the last line of words and didn't let her read it.

She once again bowed deeply to Shu Laibao and sincerely thanked her.

Shu Laibao was so panicked that he didn't know how to return the gift.
