Zhao Mian committed suicide with his whole family.

Hearing the news, Zhu Xiongying's heart sank violently, and after being stunned for a while, he let out a long breath.

Zhao Mian is a talent, but he is also self-inflicted.

This may be his best ending, otherwise if Zhu Yuanzhang is allowed to deal with it, it will only make his death more painful.

Zhu Xiongying's heart was not comfortable.

A Tobe Shangshu who has implemented many policies with him has been found out and disposed of by himself in this way, and he feels like he has cut off his arm.

In fact, Zhao Mian is right about one thing, he didn't have an accident sooner or later, but he had an accident at this time.

At this time, it was the time when his career was thriving, and it was also the critical time for the reform of the post station, and it seemed that the interests of some people were touched, or in other words, someone wanted to deal with him Zhu Xiongying.

When Zhu Xiongying was thinking in his heart, the personal eunuch Li Zhongmai came with a small step in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the old emperor invites you to come over and have breakfast together."

"Got it."

Zhu Xiongying answered, then got up and went to the imperial dining room......

……

"Coming?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in good spirits during this time, his face was full of red light, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Xiongying: "Don't make so much red tape between the two of us, sit down." ”

Now when there are no outsiders, the two of them are like ordinary grandchildren.

Zhu Yuanzhang also likes this way of getting along.

Zhu Xiongying nodded, sat opposite Zhu Yuanzhang, picked up a soup bag and took a bite, chewing it like chewing wax.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and while eating pickles and porridge, he said, "Eldest grandson, don't you feel good?" ”

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Zhao Mian is a good talent, but he should be damned!" The court has already given them so much money, isn't it enough for them? And greedy! Stupidity! ”

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, grandchildren think ...... Is there less money for the ministers? ”

"Less?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Zhu Xiongying for a while, and said, "Eldest grandson, do you think that after giving more money, they won't be greedy?" ”

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "High salary and incorruptible." ”

"Huh-"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled when he heard this: "Eldest grandson, how much do you think is appropriate?" Double, is it enough? ”

Zhu Xiongying was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I can't tell how much is appropriate, right?" Grandson, you are very smart, but after all, you are young, you still have little experience, people's hearts are not enough, and grandpa will see a lot when he is young! ”

"At the beginning, my grandfather gave the landlord who herded cattle enough money and grain every year, but when our father and mother died, he refused to give our father and mother even a small piece of shelter!"

"And those corrupt officials, the grain seeds of our two families will be robbed!"

Speaking of this, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth couldn't help but tremble slightly: "Corrupt official!" What we hate most in this life is corrupt officials! When you are an official, you should ask for the people's life, but when you are an official, you are a fish and a common man, you say that if we don't kill him, who will we kill?! ”

"Look at those corrupt officials, let's catch one and kill the other, but there are still people who dare to be greedy, they even spare their lives, do you think that if you give more money, they will not be greedy? Dare we tell you, they're only going to get worse! ”

"The former Song Dynasty's Yulu was very high, but if you look at the officials of the Song Dynasty, they are corrupt to the bone!"

Zhu Xiongying listened and nodded thoughtfully.

High salary and honesty, this is the method proposed by some people in later generations, but in fact, it has actually been implemented in the Song Dynasty, and Song Taizu has proposed in the Kaibao period: "It is better to pay for it than to be redundant and heavy, and it is better for provincial officials to benefit." Song Taizong said: "The system of Lilu should be excellent, a few Fengtai, and the responsibility is incorruptible." ”。

It can be said that from Taizu to Huizong, the emperors of the Song Dynasty insisted on giving hundreds of officials a "salary increase" to "maintain integrity".

But in the end, the wind of corruption could not be contained, and Bao Zheng once pointed out that there were "six or seven out of ten tyrannies" in the officialdom at that time, and in the end, "11 honest officials and 19 corrupt officials".

The old man is right, these people don't even spare their lives, how can they support themselves with a higher salary?

The problem of corrupt officials has been a major problem since ancient times, and no dynasty or generation can really solve it.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's strict rule of officials still gave corrupt officials a great deterrent.

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth and said: "Grandpa, it's the grandson who owes it to consideration!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, nodded, and said: "Eldest grandson, you can ask questions, it's good, we are still here, you can raise any questions, we can check for you, otherwise after we leave, you will have to rely on yourself!" ”

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandpa, you will live a hundred years old!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said, "Eldest grandson, don't say these nice things, we also want to live a long life, but this is not something we can decide." ”

"By the way, you didn't say it right just now."

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his words and said: "Our Daming's salary is actually not low. ”

Zhu Xiongying was slightly stunned for a moment, only to hear Zhu Yuanzhang continue: "Look at Qian Tang, he is honest enough, right?" But he can live a normal life, and even be able to support a few staff, how many times better than the people at the bottom? ”

"Don't think we're stupid, when we set them a salary, we thought about it, how much food, clothing, housing and transportation are needed every month, how much are needed to support staff, and how much is left for them to spend, we can calculate it clearly, so the next time anyone dares to complain to you about the low salary, you will check him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, with a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Xiongying found that it was true.

It all shows that the officials of the dynasty, if they rely only on Yulu, they basically have to ask for food, but that is actually the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Because when the old man formulated the Yulu, he did not consider inflation, and the later emperor referred to the old man's Yulu system, which caused the middle and late Ming Dynasty to make it difficult for officials to survive on the Yulu, resulting in serious corruption.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa is wise!" ”

"What a wise man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Governing the country is the same as governing the family, we have to be careful in planning, when we used to be in charge, a copper plate was broken and blossomed, and now we are the home of the world, of course, we must ensure that our people can live!" ”

"Therefore, don't hurt the prestige of the court because of an official, let's tell you, even if our brothers commit a crime, we will not show mercy!" Thousands of thousands

Zhu Xiongying knew that what the old man said was true.

If he hadn't been there, grass would have begun to grow on the blue jade grave now.

Maybe some people in later generations said that the old man was dumped in his old age, but how did they know that the old man was defending his world and his people.

The more he understands the old man, the more Zhu Xiongying admires him.

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying's eyes lit up, and said: "Grandpa, this time when my grandson checked the account books, I found that when I was counting now, I used the numbers one, two, three, four, such numbers are very easy to tamper with, and my grandson thinks that this is inappropriate." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Tell me." ”

Zhu Xiongying continued: "Sun Er thinks that the imperial court should make a rule that when recording important items such as money and grain, the current data such as one, two, three, and four will be added to the current one, two, three, and four data, plus the counting of the Chinese characters one two and three wantons, so as to eliminate the disadvantages of tampering! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, and his face showed a look of sudden realization.

I thought about it for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly slapped the desk and laughed: "Okay! That's great! Great grandson, your suggestion is great! ”
