Chapter 393: Zhu Yuanzhang Slapped in the Face(1/2)

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the overall arrangements and regulations of the Minister of Household Affairs.

After Zhao Mian finished speaking about how to bow, Zhu Yuanzhang made some suggestions:

"The planting of high-yielding crops does not conflict with the original rice and wheat fields. Therefore, more people, under the guidance of the government, will choose to reclaim new wasteland."

"There are always some people who are selfish and take chances, thinking that the government will not find out and hide the number of new lands reported."

"After spring plowing, the work of the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot stop. A new round of soil measurements must be carried out in all areas where high-yield grain seeds are distributed to ensure that all newly reclaimed land is registered."

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a cowherd boy who worked for landlords, so he was naturally very familiar with landlords' concealment of land.

The farmers at the bottom are not only simple, but also have their own cleverness, especially when it comes to land matters.

The distribution of grain seeds is also accompanied by education.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that when farmers knew that these high-yielding crops could be grown into new grain varieties in less than two months, many farmers would cultivate them secretly.

In this case, the statistics of the Ministry of Households cannot be calculated according to grain types, and all surrounding land must be counted.

Anyone who cultivates land privately must be severely punished.

This seed cannot be grown. It should be noted that sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops can be used as food reserves for the national treasury. Even if they taste a little bad, they can still survive a lot.

Taxes have already been halved, and if there is a lot of tax evasion, the court will suffer the loss.

"I respectfully obey the decree."

Zhao Mian stood up again and bowed.

Measuring land is no small job. For the Ministry of Household Affairs, all the Ministry of Household Affairs, including all local departments, are mobilized to complete it in a short time.

Although His Majesty did not specify a specific time, Zhao Mian knew very well that if all the land documents could not be submitted to His Majesty for review before Xia Liang, then his position as Minister would be over.

"Ru Shangshu, seeing how secretive you are, do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp eyes immediately noticed that Rujun, the Minister of War, was hesitant to speak, so he asked directly.

Ru Yun was able to sneak into the position of Shangshu, so he was naturally considered to be a good person.

Just now, after His Majesty and Zhao Mian made arrangements for spring plowing, he deliberately showed some hesitation.

Sure enough, His Majesty noticed it.

Ru Yu stood up and bowed, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I have received a secret report from the left guard of Datong in Shanxi Province."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me in the morning just now?"

Ru Yu trembled and said, seemingly a little frightened: "I don't dare."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little surprised and continued to ask: "What is the content of the secret report?"

Ru Jin replied: "It is the impeachment of Li Lin, the commander of Shanxi Zuowei Capital."

Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat impressed when he heard the name Li Lin.

The official position of Commander-in-Chief is not a big deal in the capital, but at the local level, it is the highest military officer in the area and has extremely powerful authority.

Being able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the capital in this year naturally has a certain amount of merit.

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled that this capital commander named Li Lin was once Chang Yuchun's personal soldier, and then he followed Lan Yu to perform meritorious service in Yuerhai, and proudly awarded him the official position of Shanxi Datong Left Guard Commander.

Randu Commander is a local military position, under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and is not affiliated with the Ministry of War.

Now the Minister of War, Ru Jin, said that there was an impeachment report from the Wei Institute. This is equivalent to crossing the Fifth Army Commander's Office, which is a violation of regulations. It is no wonder that Ru Jin did not tell the matter in the morning.

If he really said it in the morning, it would definitely arouse the hatred of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief.

It was still yesterday that Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was beaten violently by Lan Yu.

Such an act of overstepping one's authority, regardless of what happened, just the malicious intent coming from the Fifth Army Commander's Office would be unbearable for Ru Ru.

"Bring it to us to see."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the secret report that allowed Ru Yu to act like this was definitely not that simple.

Liu He walked from His Majesty's side, took the secret report that Ru Jin took out of his sleeve, and presented it to His Majesty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took it, he looked at it carefully.

At first, everyone in the hall, except Ru Yu, didn't have much thought.

However, as His Majesty's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, the atmosphere began to become solemn and depressing.

"Crack!!"

"Presumptuous! What a courageous dog!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly slammed the secret report on the desk, and even the candlestick was knocked to the ground.

Immediately, all the ministers present, including Liu He, Jiang Yu and others, knelt on the ground.

His Majesty Long Yan was furious, this matter is very big.

"Who gave them the courage? Who gave them the courage!! Ah!!"

"The most ruthless thing in our life is the corrupt officials. We have established a military household system to support millions of soldiers without spending a grain of food from the treasury. But how dare they, how dare they do this!!!"

The roaring sound echoed throughout the Huagai Palace, and even the eunuch guards outside knelt down.

How long has it been? Your Majesty has never been so angry.

Even if dozens of ministers were executed at the court meeting, even if it was the three major cases in the past few years, even if it was the recent rumor case.

I have never been so angry.

It's like the reverse scale of a dragon, anyone who touches it will die.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was red, his eyes were about to split, and his eyes seemed to be trying to choose someone to eat.

The sound of violent breathing was especially obvious in the quiet hall.

After waiting for a moment, Liu He quietly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and stood up.

He bravely brought a cup of hot tea and said with a slightly trembling tone: "Your Majesty, please drink some tea first. Don't get angry. If Taisun Palace knows that the old slaves failed to take good care of Your Majesty, they will definitely punish you."

Punishment.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was just about to swing his dragon robe and knock away the teacup brought by Liu He.

I heard the word Taisun.

The hand he just raised stopped in mid-air.

After a moment's hesitation, he took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.

Warmth spread in my belly, driving away the anger a little.

Everyone in the audience looked at Liu He with gratitude in their eyes.

If it weren't for him, no one in this hall would be in any better condition today.

snort!!!

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the tea cup on the table and returned to the dragon chair.

"Everyone, get up. Can things be done on your knees?"

After hearing His Majesty's words, everyone was shocked and stood up, but did not dare to sit down on the chairs again.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ru Yu.

Just this glance almost scared Ru Yu into falling ill. Her knees became weak and she suddenly knelt on the ground again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced away and shouted: "What crime have you committed!"

Ru Yun's lips trembled: "Chen... Chen... Chen..."

He didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Don't just admit that you are not guilty. Are we the kind of people who just give up guilt? Not only are you not guilty in this matter, but you have meritorious service. Come up and speak up."

Rujun quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the secret report that fell on the ground and said coldly: "You ministers in various ministries should also take a good look at this military household and what the situation of our Datong Guard has become."

The secret report fell at the feet of Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs. After hearing His Majesty's words, Zhan Hui quickly picked it up and read it quickly.

As he read, his pupils continued to shrink. It was obvious that the content above really frightened him.

After reading it, I even held my breath and understood why His Majesty was so angry.

Then it was quickly passed on to Yang Jing, the Minister of Punishment next to him.

Yang Jing's reaction was exactly the same as Zhan Hui's.

In just a short moment, the four ministers had read the above content.

Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs who finally took over from Shen Shu, the Minister of Industry, handed the secret report to Liu He with trembling hands.

"Tell me, do you think this is true, or is it someone's fraud?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
