"So amazing?"

"Just use a method of accounting to distinguish these corrupt officials?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was shocked and incredible.

I couldn't even help but tremble.

Isn't it just Zhu Yuanzhang?

The rest, whether it was the civil servants, Lao Lao Lao, Liu Lao Wu, or the military officers Xu Da, Lan Yu and Chang Mao, even the crown prince Zhu Biao, and the king of Yan Zhu Di, had the same expression and expression as Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

Because this principle is very simple, since Fang Shiyu can distinguish between these corrupt officials.

Then Fang Shiyu naturally knew what methods these corrupt officials used to embezzle so many.

As long as you know the methods of these corrupt officials, there will be ways to prevent future officials from using these methods to embezzle them. There may be no corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming Dynasty came, the Guangwu Revival, the rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, and the prosperity of Kaiyuan were not a problem, and it was torture and killing in minutes!

Zhu Yuanzhang even secretly swore in his heart that if Fang Shiyu could really make the Ming Dynasty only have clean and honest officials from now on, and there would be no corrupt officials who could make money.

Then he would first reveal his identity as Emperor Hongwu and grant Fang Shiyu the only living king of different surnames on the Ming Dynasty!

Although there were kings of different surnames in the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yuchun had already passed away, and he was posthumously conferred after his death.

The living kings of different surnames will become the same as King Yan, King Ning, and King Qin.

At this level, the treatment of descendants is the same as that of Confucius and Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.

As long as you continue to stop, the court will always support you!

The two Zhu and Fang families will rule the world together!

"Benefather! Please help me solve my doubts!"

Zhu Biao stood up tremblingly, bowed deeply, gave a big gift, and said excitedly.

But the prince gave such a great gift to Fang Shiyu, but the people around him did not feel that it was inappropriate at all.

Purge the officialdom of the entire country!

This is no longer the category of a think tank like Liu Bowen. It is already transcending all things, using heaven and earth as chessboards, and everything is chess pieces. The fate of the Ming Dynasty is under his control!

Not to mention Zhu Biao, even His Majesty’s luggage is now, it’s all right!

"Not! Not!"

"Get up quickly, little blessing!"

"Say it out, aren't you?"

"Little blessing, I'll give your elder brother a cup of tea, so that he can calm down and calm down."

Fang Shiyu patted Zhu Biao's shoulder while being surprised.

As for such a fuss?

This is nothing more than a common method of economic investigation in the 21st century.

It really won't be!

"Brother, don't be excited. Young Master Fang doesn't like the serious atmosphere."

Zhu Ziyi comforted Zhu Biao while bringing a cup of tea.

In the past few days, Zhu Ziyi has been tempted by Fang Shiyu almost every day, so her understanding of Fang Shiyu has reached a higher level!

This person has a unique temperament, unruly!

No matter what your identity is, whether you can talk to you or not depends on his own eyes.

If Zhu Biao had always adhered to his duties so much, he would probably have given him points.

Sure enough, I heard that Fang Shiyu didn't like him, so Zhu Biao quickly sat down obediently.

"It's not as complicated as you think. These people can be roughly divided into two types."

"Guo Huan is one of them. He is a greedy person and embezzled huge sums of money!"

"Although this kind of person accounts for a small proportion and is not large in number, every person embezzles huge sums of money."

"The other type is small greed. The amount of personal corruption is not large, but the base is large. Added together, it also turns into a huge sum of money."

"In this Guo Huan corruption case, most of the food and grass that were embezzled were fed by such greedy people."

Fang Shiyu said while drawing two circles on the wall.

"Then how do these little greeds embezzle?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.

More than 20 million is not a small amount. Although Guo Huan alone greed for more than 8 million, most of them are jewelry and jade.

Most of the remaining food and grass were greedy for those little greeds.

How did these people do so without realizing it?

The others were also curious.

"This is not as complicated as you think, there are only two methods."

"First, color-shaving and fire consumption!"

"Second, the tip of the slapped duck!"

Fang Shiyu said while writing down these eight words.

In fact, these two methods were not unique to the Ming Dynasty. They were very common in all dynasties and were the main means for officials to eat fish and the people.

Because it is so easy to use, it has been left to this day and is also used by officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Before Zhang Juzheng's reform, there was no so-called tax law. The state collected taxes based on local conditions.

The country collects whatever your specialty is.

Even if your specialty is to raise chickens, the country will accept raw chickens, dead chickens and even eggs.

Of course, if conditions permit, the government will also cooperate with items and silver to confiscate them.

This gave those corrupt officials an opportunity to take advantage of.

After all, the smelting technology level of each low imitation is different.

Whether it is the folk, the official, silver, or copper coins, the ingredients inside are extremely inconsistent.

Some ingredients are higher, some are lower, and there is no unified standard at all!

Therefore, the official will remelve the collected silver or copper coins.

During this process, the loss comes out.

This is what is called color-shaving and fire consumption.

It was originally considered normal.

But the loophole is that the official has decided the amount of this loss.

Ten taels of silver will be lost after melting and casting. It is common to put the three taels into your own pocket.

Some people who are brave will lose 40% to 50% of you, which is common.

There are even some people who are not afraid of death, which will directly lose 70% to 80% of them, which can happen from time to time.

As for the tip of the slurry, it is more interesting and more common than this color-breaking fire consumption.

It was not the only Ming Dynasty. Every dynasty was the same. When the harvest season came, the officials responsible for collecting food in the place would use a tool called Hu as a measuring tool.

One bucket is ten buckets, but this bucket has no lid.

For ordinary people who pay taxes, as long as they fill up the hu of this hu, your tax will be paid.

Therefore, the common people will pour the food into the hukou, and they will stop after it is full.

This was originally a normal process, after all, it was already full.

Occasionally, some food will overflow because it is full, even if it is normal to lose it.

But over time, the officials responsible for collecting grain discovered an opportunity to become rich from this.

No one cares about the overflowing food anyway, so I can take it back!

As long as the more it overflows, the more it can take back by yourself?

So, when the people poured food into Huo, once it was full, the officials would use Foshan’s shadowless foot and kick it hard on Huo!

This kick made Huli full, but it instantly became much empty again. The people naturally had to make up for what was empty.

So he took away the food himself and the court collected a lot of it.

In order to make some money and water smoothly, this move was quickly promoted and implemented, and almost all officials participated.

So when people later selected who was the most popular person, it was not about the character or official position of the person, but whether the person's feet were powerful and whether he could lose more food in the huli!

Some people even started practicing leg skills since childhood. When they grew up, they became celebrities in the local government with their sharp leg skills.
