Chapter 83: The Civilian Clique is miserable
Under Li Wei's orders, Abu and Laifu took action, and the merchants and delivery workers on the street began to inquire about Fan Min's family intentionally or unintentionally when dealing with various shops.
At the end of the evening, Abu and Laifu gathered the relevant news and handed it to Li Wei.
In just a few days, there are a few people in Fan Min's family, how much oil they buy and how much salt they eat every month, the frequency of rouge gouache perfume and soap consumption, how many servants there are in the family, and how many concubines in the family are all handed over to Li Wei.
Based on this information, Li Wei entered the computer into a table, listed the one-time expense list, calculated the necessary and accidental expenses of the Fan family every month in detail, and then made a chart analysis to calculate his approximate expenses for a year.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, this dog says that a Lang Zhong spends nearly 100 yuan a month, and he gets more than 1,000 yuan a year!
In the two months after the year, just accepting a concubine will be 100 yuan, and with other expenses, it will be nearly 500 yuan!
Of course, this money is nothing to Li Wei, but it is too much for him to be a small Zhengwupinlang!
After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, in order to appease people's hearts, he gave a salary increase to 100 officials, but the 5th official's 250 stone meters and 150 yuan banknotes add up, which adds up to less than 300 yuan a year, which is definitely not enough for this guy to spend, there must be corruption!
In fact, the annual expenses of ordinary people in the capital are only about 30 yuan, and the seven grades of officials are 100 yuan, and there are various other benefits, which add up to not much less than Yulu. If you don't raise so many servants and concubines, Yulu is still very lenient.
I'm afraid that if one of these people becomes an official, the whole family will eat him, plus all kinds of servants and concubines, it will definitely not be enough to spend.
But there are some things that can't be helped, after all, the cold window has been studying hard for more than ten years, and many people rely on the family to provide for it, you can't be ungrateful when you become an official and only take care of yourself.
In later generations, there was a movie called What is the Partner, in which the male protagonist was raised by relatives in the village when he went to college, can he not repay the family when he is developed?
Thinking of this, Li Wei thought of why in ancient times he had to be punished for committing a crime, in this case, each official represents a family, and one person has ascended to heaven when he has achieved Taoism, and if he commits a crime, he will naturally have to be neat.
Li Wei summarized the results of these calculations and briefly wrote them down in the recital, and this time it was his turn to play others.
"Damn, the tiger doesn't send cats, you and I are sick!"
Picking up the book, Li Wei muttered to himself viciously.
……
Wuying Palace, Xue Xiang was summoned with apprehension, and he had a bad premonition.
"See Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang held a booklet in his hand, and he didn't let him be exempted, so after a while, he slowly spoke:
"Officialdom has the rules of officialdom, throwing stones to ask for directions, throwing bricks and attracting jade, we don't understand, Xue Shangshu, tell us, what are the rules in officialdom?"
Xue Xiang trembled, and knelt down in panic: "The minister is guilty, please forgive your majesty!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him: "Let's let you mention that kid more, but we didn't let you take him down the crooked road, you are so bold!" ”
Xue Xiang lowered his head a little lower, and explained in fear: "The minister has no such intention, it is Lord Li who misunderstood the meaning of the minister, the minister just wants him to move around more with his colleagues and pay attention to human relations during the New Year's holidays, not to instruct him to give and accept bribes!" ”
"Hmph, personal contacts, tell me what kind of human relations you have?"
"This ...... The minister, the minister's family is poor, and they all send some calligraphy and books to express their hearts, and the rest is gone. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Xiang couldn't help but scolded Li Wei a few words in his heart, this stinky boy, he didn't even bring a greeting post during the New Year, he sat at home and didn't care about anyone, he didn't know how to reply to the old man, he just saw that this guy was so ignorant that he mentioned it slightly, but he didn't expect to be cheated by him.
"Huh, really? What about the others? Is it also a book book? Or gold and silver treasures? Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.
"This, what others send, the minister is not very clear."
"Huh?"
"Minister...... The minister heard that there are often people who send door respects, charcoal respects or something, and some people have sent them to the ministers, but the ministers have refused and never received them! ”
Xue Xiang replied tremblingly.
There are many patterns of gifts given by other ancient officials, in addition to the door respect, there is also a rouge gouache money for female dependents called makeup mirror, Bing Jing in summer, Wen Jing for children to read, and so on.
In the name of personal contacts, these are actually bribery and bribery.
"Hmph, door respect, charcoal respect, the name is quite elegant!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and after a while, he whispered to Xue Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xue Xiang stood up tremblingly, and was afraid for a while, secretly saying that he would have to stay away from that Li Wei in the future, and he must not be killed by him.
In fact, he is still relatively honest as an official, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have spared him so lightly.
"Li Wei's side, you have to show us something in the future, like today's door respect or something, you can tell him directly."
“??”
Xue Xiang asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, didn't you tell me not to take him down the crooked road?" ”
"The road is in front of him, which way to go is his own choice, and we didn't let you hide it from him."
“……”
Xue Xiang was speechless, then what did you scare me just now? I'm so old, it's not fun at all!
Knowing that he would inevitably have to deal with that stinky boy in the future, Xue Xiang couldn't help but be full of resentment.
After a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xue Xiang to retreat, and then took out another note, which recorded the news that Li Wei had asked Laifu and Abu to investigate in the past few days.
It's just that these news are disorganized, I bought a few bags of rice today, I asked for a few catties of oil tomorrow, and I took a carriage one day, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and it was just a decimal of dozens of hundreds of texts when I took it out, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a long time, and I didn't know what this kid could find out if he wanted these things.
In fact, in intelligence work, information analysis is more important than information gathering, just like the famous A and what I was in later generations, and a lot of intelligence was analyzed from open news and information.
Although those guards are pervasive, after all, they are all from military backgrounds, and if they want to add or subtract, they can only do it by multiplying and dividing, and no matter how advanced they are calculated and analyzed, they will not be able to do it.
Not to mention these guards, even those officials in charge of the account books of the household department, when it comes to mathematical calculations, they are far inferior to Li Wei, an engineering student in later generations, not to mention that he also has a computer.
The next day, Li Wei took the book and went to the morning court with Han Yike, the human alarm clock, and now he is also a real important minister of the court, so he can go into the hut and wait for the door to open.
In the court, the ministers took turns to do things in an orderly manner, Li Wei did not take a nap, and patiently held back his big moves.
When it was his turn, Li Wei went out of class and handed the book to Xu Shoucheng and handed it in, saying, "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Fan Min of the household department, and the source of the huge wealth is unknown!" ”
As soon as Li Wei's words came out, the ministers were stunned when they heard it.
What's that? Huge fortune of unknown origin?
Fan Min was also stunned, what is this charge? I haven't heard of it, but it sounds pretty fresh.
In addition, he is now the representative of the household department, although he has not become a regular, but the general colleagues who give some face are directly called Shangshu, and if they don't give face, they have to be called a representative Shangshu, Li Wei called him Langzhong, which is somewhat rude.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on it, and when he heard the charge of Li Wei's impeachment, he was also puzzled, he knew that Li Wei was investigating Fan Min, and he also expected that this kid would be impeached in the next few days, but the source of the property you impeached is unknown, and there is no such article in the Daming Law, right?
"In detail."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a calm expression, he will not be as confused as those people below, as an emperor, he has to pretend to understand if he doesn't understand.
"According to the minister's understanding, Fan Min's family has a population of nineteen, including seven wives and concubines and children of Lord Fan, and eight servants and maids, each of whom spends at least two yuan per month, one coachman, three yuan per month, and a housekeeper......"
Li Weiwan said a lot, counted the expenses of Fan Min's family in detail, and finally came to the conclusion: "After statistical analysis, it can be concluded that the annual expenses of Lord Fan's family will be as high as 1,200 yuan, and Lord Fan's money, even if it is calculated according to the 700 yuan of Zheng Erpin, it is not enough to spend, I don't know where the money spent by Lord Fan comes from?" ”
After Li Wei finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Fan Min at the front of the household army.
The ministers were stunned when they heard this, but Fan Min was shocked in his heart, he couldn't understand the messy data in front of him, but the conclusion that Li Wei finally came to was very different from the actual situation of his family.
As for his Yulu, he hasn't turned regular yet, with Zhu Yuanzhang's degree of picking, how can he give him a second-grade Yulu in advance?
"No, you're not right, there are a few maid servants I just bought a few years ago...... Just hired, there were only four in my family before! There is also a concubine, and the concubine is a ...... that has just been accepted this year."
Fan Min retorted in panic.
Li Wei nodded calmly: "Well, what Lord Fan said is right, I have calculated according to Lord Fan's family situation last year, go to these, even if you go to Lord Fan's occasional extravagant consumption, Lord Fan still has 600 to 800 yuan of expenses every year, before Lord Fan was only a positive five grades, and the annual income was less than 300 yuan, so may I ask where did this extra 3500 yuan come from?" ”
Fan Min's face was pale, speechless, not to mention the past, even now his Yulu is less than three hundred, and Zhu Yuanzhang has not raised his Yulu for him.
Including slaves, according to the system, he has a maximum of five slaves in the fifth grade, but if he is calculated according to the value of Shangshu, he can have eight slaves, and he has already begun to enjoy the treatment of Shangshu before he becomes a regular.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Li Shilang for overstepping his authority to investigate the important ministers of the imperial court, and took revenge for personal gain, please punish Your Majesty severely!"
Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly came out of the class and said that he came out because it involved the authority of the Criminal Department, and secondly, he ......
The official Hong Yi left, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not let him go home to farm, but threw him to the field as a political envoy.
Du Yushi Anran is also gone, after all, he is old, and he is not treated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Ministry of Rites looks like he has nothing to do with himself, and he will resign tomorrow.
Xue Xiang of the Ministry of Industry is not a gang.
Zhao Ben of the Ministry of War, in the early Ming Dynasty, when the emperor and generals were extremely strong, the Ministry of War had no status at all.
Tobe is being impeached......
The civilian-bureaucratic clique is miserable!
