In fact, Liu Haojia asked him to kneel down and answer, and he really didn't wronged him! Because at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and his Huaixi nobles were simply ordinary people, and they had completely different etiquette. So as soon as the meeting began, the whole hall was in chaos!

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's small peasant consciousness was attacked, and he felt that etiquette must be formal and formal in order to set off the prestige of the dynasty, so the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty was strict and cumbersome, far exceeding that of other dynasties! According to the rules of the time, a fourth- or fifth-grade petty official like Wu Yunshan really knelt down and bowed when he saw the genuine Hou Ye!

However, as time went by, the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty had lower and lower requirements for etiquette. This is because they feel that their own background is enough, and they don't need etiquette to set it off. And with the gradual expansion of civil power and the weakening of nobles, the gap between civil and military forces is getting bigger and bigger! Civilian officials are increasingly above the noble military attachés!

Fortunately, the nobles have knighthoods, and the military attachés without a background are the most unlucky! By the late Ming Dynasty, the military attachés of the fifth rank and the nobles of the seventh rank had to kneel down to pay respects! Even the dignified generation of military god Qi Jiguang's greeting post to Zhang Juzheng had to write the words "lackeys under the door", which shows the great power of civil officials at that time!

And Wu Yunshan is one of the beneficiaries of this set of unspoken rules, so Liu Haojia asked him to kneel down and answer, which seemed to him a huge humiliation! If he hadn't been pressed by two soldiers, he would have almost jumped up and fought with Liu Haojia!

But even so, he was still cursing Liu Haojia loudly. And Liu Haojia ignored the paperwork in his hand. After a while, he walked up to Wu Yunshan with a document and said, "Lord Wu, you should know what this thing is, right?"

Wu Yunshan recognized the things in Liu Haojia's hand as soon as he saw them, because he had to look at them a lot every month, so he said loudly, "This is a copy of the receipt, what's wrong?"

Liu Haojia said, "It's good to have seen it! But you're afraid you can't remember the amount, right?"

Wu Yunshan looked at the thick stack of copies of the receipt in Liu Haojia's hand and said, "This official has to deal with a lot of official affairs every day, where do you remember so much! What are you going to do with these copies of receipts?"

Liu Haojia smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, you really can't remember! Ben Hou will tell you one thing clearly, maybe you will have an impression! At this time, the imperial court sent a receipt of food and salary to Tianjin every month, but the actual amount sent was only sixty and a half percent of the list! And I never signed your receipt for the full amount, but rewrote a receipt for your people to take back, so now you should be thinking about something, right?"

Liu Haojia looked at Wu Yunshan's expression and knew that he must have remembered something, but Wu Yunshan still replied stiffly, "So what?"

Liu Haojia said, "So what? It seems that there are some things you still haven't figured out! But once you've seen this thing, you'll know it!"

After Liu Haojia finished speaking, he took out the paperwork in his hand and handed it over, and at the same time ordered the family to let go of Wu Yunshan. Wu Yunshan rubbed his shoulders and just wanted to get up, but was pressed back by a family member, he could only kneel there angrily and take the paperwork.

He glanced at the first page and was about to say something when his face suddenly changed, and then his expression became even more distorted after turning a few pages! And it looks like he wants to tear up the paperwork in his hand!

At this time, Liu Haojia suddenly pulled back the document from his hand and said, "Now Lord Wu should remember something, right?"

Now Wu Yunshan really remembered something, and it was a terrible thing! His face was obviously pale, his kneeling body was weak, and he sat on his heels all of a sudden, looking completely powerless!

At the beginning, when Liu Haojia received the food and salary from the Ministry of War, he found one thing, that is, the actual things he received were only sixty percent of the things on the list! And the military attache who escorted the food and salary actually told him without hesitation that the missing thing was "drifting"!

The word "drifting" originally referred to the loss of goods transported in canals and seas due to other accidents such as water seepage or capsizing. But now on land, and at such a close distance from Jingshi to Tianjin, there is actually a "drifting"!

What's even more outrageous is that it has "floated" as much as forty percent, which is simply appalling! As for where the "drifting" things go, it is naturally self-explanatory

！

So when Liu Haojia was arguing, the official actually rolled his eyes and said, "This is the rule for sending food and wages!" If Master Hou doesn't accept it, forget it!"

Naturally, the food and salary sent by the imperial court could not be accepted, so Liu Haojia did not sign the list of the imperial court at all, but arranged for someone to take a piece of paper and write a receipt.

The official was very dissatisfied when he saw Liu Haojia's non-cooperation, and argued with Liu Haojia for a long time! At this time, Liu Haojia instead said a sentence: "It's this receipt, do you want to love it!"

But at this time, the things had already entered Liu Haojia's warehouse, and there was no way for the official not to return the receipt. So he could only return with a receipt. Originally, he and the people behind him thought that Liu Haojia would go to Emperor Wanli to complain, but they didn't expect that he didn't mention this stubble at all!

So these officials of the Ministry of War felt with peace of mind that this was another sensible noble! Although the receipt is the kind of self-written receipt, it is just his last stubbornness!

However, a problem arises that such a receipt signed on the basis of actual income cannot be recorded. Because once it is credited, the difference cannot be withdrawn. So driven by greed and the feeling that Liu Haojia "understands the rules", the people in the military department simply forged the receipt into the account, and swallowed it with peace of mind.

Of course, they didn't do this at the beginning, but after a period of time, they found that Liu Haojia did not do it without complaining, and at the same time, in order to appease Liu Haojia, they added an extra half percent when sending food and salary in the future.

But is Liu Haojia's benefits so easy to share? Of course not! After Liu Haojia received the salary for the first time, he has been investigating these things, and soon locked down the specific handler. And what made Liu Haojia cry and laugh even more was that this "drifting" actually carried out a second "drifting"!

Wu Yunshan was directly responsible for the appropriation of military funds in the Gyeonggi region, that is, he was the direct manager of "drifting". Of course, it was impossible for him to swallow the full amount of this large amount of food, so in addition to getting his share within their small group, a large part had to be handed over to his superiors.
