When Zhu Biao asked, the rest of the people looked curious, and came back to their senses from the shock just now, and turned their ears to the sound.

"That's naturally different."

"Compared with those clerks who have practiced their own actions, the corruption methods of these senior officials are obviously much simpler and much better."

Fang Shiyu nodded and returned.

"Simple and efficient? Tell me quickly, how can I do it simple and efficient?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became curious.

Although the huge amount of embezzlement funds obviously accounted for a larger proportion of clerks, the number of clerks was also greater. If it was spread evenly, the amount of corruption for a clerk was actually extremely limited.

But Guo Huan's level is different. Although the proportion of corruption is not as high as that of clerks, just a few people embezzled millions of silver!

Even if it is spread evenly, a person will start with at least hundreds of thousands of corruption!

It is really curious to be able to do it without realizing it!

"It's just two tricks!"

"First, make a name!"

"Second, tamper with the bill!"

Fang Shiyu said as he took the pen from Wu Yuannian and wrote down the eight words.

"The first one is easy to understand. They took the flag of the court and collected taxes on local people, but the taxes collected were not handed over to the court, but entered their own pockets."

"The court did not nag at all, but also had to take the blame for Guo Huan and other people, and was scolded by the people as fierce as a tiger!"

Fang Shiyu explained slowly.

"I really took Xiong Xin and Leopard's courage, but I dared to give up my personal pockets so blatantly and pretend to be public and help my private interests!"

"That's right, these people are simply seeking death. They have made money, but the emperor takes the blame!"

"As expected, it's the same as I thought!"

.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n

As the words came to the ground, the group of people were already full of righteous indignation, but their expressions did not change much. It seemed that they had thought of it for a long time.

Moreover, this method was not only available in the Ming Dynasty. It has been repeatedly banned and emerged one after another!

Even in the 21st century, it is very common!

You have to pay the fine, but there is no invoice.

But compared with Guo Huan, he is really a little cautious.

It’s fine if the people walk across the bridge, so it’s fine if you try to get some money.

Damn, if the people go to a temple, burn incense and pray to a god, do you have to collect money?

Corruption is so greedy that he can do anything!

If you want money, don’t live, gods and Buddhas stand aside!

There is a bird for respecting gods and Buddhas, but gods and Buddhas do not give silver!

"But this method involves too many people, and it is very easy to detect. The money that really reaches everyone's pocket is pitiful."

"So Guo Huan and the others mainly use the second trick, which is to tamper with the bill!"

"This trick is simple and easy to use. It is really a necessary method for corrupt officials. Whoever uses it will know!"

Fang Shiyu continued with a smile.

These ancient people are too ignorant!

Although the first move can really make money, it is really not easy to use!

You have to rack your brains to think about the names, and after thinking about it, you have to explain it to the clerks below, and let the clerks go to collect them. If you meet Zhang San Li Si Si Wang Er Ma Zi, you will be so naughty that you have lived for thousands of years. If you report it to the yamen, you have to deal with it yourself.

How troublesome!

The risk is high!

How can I draw a pen on the bill quickly?

It's simple, easy to deal with, and greedy.

"Tampering with the bill? How to tamper with it?"

"That's right! Will you not be discovered if you do this? The court used the Longmen Account, which was much more effective than before, and was much more rigorous. Are you not afraid of being noticed if you do this?"

"Benefactor, can you explain in detail how they operated?"

.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n

As the words came to the ground, everyone couldn't help but ask.

In the eyes of this group of people, the method of making a clever name is already a masterpiece!

But unexpectedly, in order to embezzle, Guo Huan and other corrupt officials could even think of more clever tricks!

If what Fang Shiyu said was true, then wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty treasury become a group of corrupt officials who had to have private wallets?

As long as you are brave enough, just be greedy if you want to?

No matter how time or amount you want, you will be greedy whenever you want, and as much as you want?

"Listen, I will only say it once!"

Fang Shiyu picked up the pen and wrote a random format on the wall according to the gantry account invented by Chen Wansan.

In fact, Chen Wansan's accounting method is very similar to the later generations of loan and credit accounting, and it is a very advanced invention.

It is mainly divided into four parts.

One: Enter.

That is the income part!

Second: pay.

That is, the expenditure part.

Third: Save.

This includes all assets and creditor relations.

Fourth: It.

That is, all assets plus debts.

If you draw a formula, it means saving and subtracting, and the result is equivalent to it.

"I'm optimistic. The payment here not only includes the salary paid by the court to all officials, but also the loss of taxes collected during transportation. For the sake of easy calculation, I took an integer and calculated it according to one hundred."

Fang Shiyu wrote a hundred under the word "联".

"If you want to embezzle it, it's very simple, you just need to change it."

Fang Shiyu picked up the pen again and added a word of one hundred, which instantly turned into two hundred, and the share paid instantly doubled.

"If you think it's not enough, it's simple, just change it."

After the words came to an end, Fang Shiyu mentioned it again and added another sentence, so two hundred became three hundred.

Just two simple transactions, the court's expenditure instantly tripled, from one hundred to three hundred.

"This is really.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n"

Seeing that Fang Shiyu had just added two simple strokes, the court's expenditure tripled instantly. Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer hold it back and stood up suddenly, looking shocked!

This is really simple and effective!

Just move your wrists and triple the imperial court's expenditure?

Although Arabic numerals were introduced to China as early as the Song and Yuan dynasties, they were not popularized and were not widely used until the 20th century.

During the Ming Dynasty, Arabic numerals were basically not used. At that time, the Chinese still used our own numbers (one, two, three, four, five.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n).

I want to change it, it's not too simple.

The lower-level officials may not have the courage to do so, but for senior officials of the level of Guo Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it is just a matter of action.

Even Guo Huan didn't have to do it himself, and he said hello to the younger brother who was keeping accounts or placing the warehouse, and it was done.

The person who keeps the book is responsible for making changes, and the person who enters the warehouse just intercepts the flow according to this false amount.

As for the false reporting, they don’t need to be put into the warehouse at all, and they will divide it up on the spot.

And in this way, you will not find any evidence at all, and all bills can be correct.

Unless you find the source one by one and verify with the people who pay the specific tax on that bill, you don’t expect to find that someone has already been tampered with it.

These people naturally thought of this, so they would not leave any hidden dangers for themselves, allowing you to find that they are corrupt.

Besides, the education level at this time was really very limited. Ninety-nine percent of the people were all illiterate white households.

They will give as much as you ask them to hand over, which is no different from a blind man with open eyes.
