Zhu Xiongying shook his head,

Said

"Some corrupt officials are greedy by nature, they are greedy.

These corrupt officials have nothing to do with grandpa,

And such a big corrupt official is definitely going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

But those officials who have to be greedy,

But it was grandpa who forced it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened,

Zhu Xiongying's words have completely exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's cognition.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view,

A corrupt official is a corrupt official, and a clean official is a clean official.

Officials are greedy for money,

It's because he's greedy by nature.

How can there be officials who have to be greedy for money?

It seems to be said,

Who forced him to be greedy for money!

Could it be that they are greedy for money, and we force them?!

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was unconvinced.

The eldest grandson said that the things were not bad,

But

The eldest grandson is not right about this!

Lao Zhu didn't say a word, and he sulked.

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile,

"Grandpa, let's play a game."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over,

"Playing games? What does it mean? ”

What's the kung fu, the eldest grandson still has the heart to play games?

Zhu Xiongying raised his fingers,

"A hypothetical game.

Grandpa, you have now forgotten everything about who you are,

You're just a new Jiupin official in the local government. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this,

I couldn't help but say,

"Hey! That's interesting! ”

Zhu Xiongying stretched out two more fingers,

"Grandpa, before we start assuming.

I'm going to add three conditions for you.

first

You are just an ordinary nine-rank petty official, without any power and without any background. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded,

"That's as it should be."

Saying,

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart,

The game that the eldest grandson made seems to be different immediately.

All of a sudden, it became so real.

Zhu Xiongying nodded,

Continued,

"Second, all your actual situations are calibrated with Hongwu's fifteenth year.

Other words

Your income, your functions, your affairs,

It is no different from any of the minor officials of the current local state capital. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded solemnly,

He already had a feeling of being substituted.

"Thirdly,

You have a family of three,

you

Grandmother

And Dad.

Whatever you do, put your family first.

If you are kicked out of the government or do something drastic that leads to jail.

You've failed. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang held his breath and seemed to understand something,

Seriously,

"Let's get started."

Zhu Xiongying began to say,

And provide Zhu Yuanzhang with a choice,

Lao Zhu made a choice.

The two of them just sat here with words, by imagination,

The game begins.

.......

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes,

A small room that is not dilapidated.

There are Mrs. Ma and son Zhu Biao in the family.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a thirteen-year jinshi,

Alternate for two years,

was thrown to Guiyang Liping Mansion as an official.

This place is very poor, and Zhu Yuanzhang is just a minor official.

Zhu Yuanzhang received the appointment,

The family moved to Liping Mansion in Guiyang.

While this is just the beginning, it's over.

Because

Zhu Yuanzhang has no power, no background,

In officialdom, it can be regarded as the end.

"Chongba, let's eat."

It is said to be rice, but it is gruel,

Grains of rice float in the porridge,

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pushed away the rice bowl,

"You two eat! We're not hungry! ”

Zhu Biao raised his head and didn't say anything.

They don't have land in their homes,

If Zhu Biao wants to be motivated, he can only walk the road that Zhu Yuanzhang has walked again.

Imperial examination.

Only by getting ahead in the imperial examination can Zhu Biao change his fate.

But

Even if you pass the exam this year, you will have to take the exam for three consecutive years before you have the opportunity to be an official.

And that's all at once.

During the period when Zhu Biao was preparing for the exam, there was no way to bring a penny of income to his family.

He can only put all his mind on reading,

In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang's 30 stone of rice per month, the rest of the source of income is the needlework done by Ma's.

In fact, the rice of the Jiupin officials is fifty stones, but His Majesty's rice money is mixed,

The remaining banknotes are completely worthless.

Therefore, I can only live on these thirty stone rice.

Thirty stone meters is not a small amount,

But Zhu Yuanzhang's family also spends a lot,

Most of them are for Zhu Biao to read,

So after January, I can barely survive by saving money.

"Hehe, let's take office today, and we can get it next month!

Biao'er, you read well,

Don't think about anything! ”

With that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the house.

My stomach began to growl.

Though hungry,

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very excited,

Alternate for two years,

I finally took office today.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the official mansion and did not welcome him as he imagined.

And all the officials leaned weakly in the hall,

They don't play cards or talk,

I'm already hungry.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and walked in, and shouted in a unique loud voice,

"What's going on?! If the people come to sue the judges,

That's what you look like?!!

Get up! ”

The Liping Mansion booklet glanced at the people,

"Who are you, you?

Roar the court again, and arrest you first. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, anger came from it,

stepped forward like a chicken, lifted the book,

roared,

"Who is Lao Tzu?

Lao Tzu is Zhu Yuanzhang! ”

The bookkeeper slowly opened his eyes,

Then exclaimed,

"Mom! It's the county official!

Don't sleep! The big man is here!! ”

And the people scattered on the ground rose one after another,

Not only that,

There was a large group of people rushing out of the hula behind the official mansion,

There must be more than two dozen of them, to say the least.

This is all the official configuration of Liping Mansion,

Three shifts and six rooms.

They are all people who work for the county government.

Their salaries are all paid by the local government.

Who is the magistrate?

Zhu Yuanzhang.

A crowd of people crying and shouting for their mothers rushed up,

"O lord! You're here!

The little ones are waiting for you!

The little ones haven't eaten in three days! Drink water every day!

Do you have to send this to the little ones?! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned in place,

Looking at the book, which is so thin that it is out of phase,

I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knows,

These people's salaries are all opened by the government,

Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said,

"Don't worry! Bring me the books of the government! ”

The bookkeeper hurriedly took out a large broken notebook from his bosom, with only a few thin pages.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and glanced at it twice.

exclaimed,

"That's all?!"

The bookkeeper nodded,

"Sir, that's all!"

"How the fuck is that?! Our government doesn't have any income at all?! ”

The count's face is full of bitterness,

Said

"O lord! What are you talking about?

Surely there is none!

Our house is already poor, and there is little food to hand over to the court.

There is still loss on the road,

When I arrived in the capital, there were not many children,

How many of us can return to the capital?!

Big man, the little ones can't wait for a drought and flood in our land! ”

The rest of the officials nodded in unison,

Babbling,

"It's good that there's a disaster! The imperial court came down to provide disaster relief silver! ”

"Damn, this place is unlucky! Not even a disaster! ”

"Drought, floods, whatever!

Natural disasters can still be saved, but man-made disasters can't be saved! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the officials in front of him with shocked eyes,

What are they talking about?!

Still looking forward to a natural disaster?!

But Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and couldn't say a word of justification.

Liping has reached this point,

There is really no other way than to hope for a natural disaster!

The bookkeeper suddenly excited,

"Don't worry, everyone!

Lord Qingtian is here! The court's fortune has arrived! ”

A sentence from the bookkeeper also made everyone instantly excited,

Everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with blank eyes,

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head,

"We, we don't have any money."

"What?!!"

"We don't have any money."

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head even more.

My heart was full of helplessness.

He understood,

Everything I think about when I go out by myself is a fantasy,

This month, 30 stones, not to mention whether it can be delivered to the hand on time,

Even if it is sent to his hand, he will not be able to take home a grain of rice.

This is already the established future.

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly confused,

What's the use of reading the books of the sages for ten years?!

said that when you are an official, you will have a field, and you will have a fortune....

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something,

Raise your head sharply,

"Where's the government's field?!"

Ji Bo has already seen that the old man Qingtian is actually a little deflated three,

Otherwise, you can't throw it here to be a county lord.

The tone was disrespectful, and everyone dispersed to do what to do,

The bookkeeper replied casually,

"The land is barren, and there is no one to plant."

"Why don't you farm?! Farming doesn't make money! ”

"Hehe, we're hungry and have no strength to speak, what's the matter?"

"But if you don't farm, you won't have anything to eat!"

"How can we farm without eating?!"
