Lan Xinyue was jubilant again, she could come to Liufu every day.

Although Liu Chun is very busy, he occasionally chats with her, and practices fist and foot kung fu with her, although there are only two or three times, Lan Xinyue is extremely satisfied, and she is happy to fly.

She packed all Liu Chun's food, not only Liu Chun, but even the big fat cat at home had piles of food.

In order not to fatten the cat to death, Liu Chun made a lot of sticks and poked the food on the tree, do you want to eat? If you want to eat, you have to go up the tree.

Liu Chun can clearly feel the resentment of the big cat.

However, for a super fat black cat, no matter what action you do, you can't be cute.

Liu Chun happily put food on the tree, and the big cat had to climb the tree again and again, and he didn't know if the calories burned each time could be replenished by food......

It seems that Liu Chun's life is very comfortable, but in fact, he is staring at it every day, and he does not dare to relax for a moment.

Yu Xin was framed solidly...... He knows very well that the truth must be found out, and the Guo Huan case back then, as well as the earlier empty seal case, all point to the fiscal and taxation system.

Lao Zhu, the emperor who picks the door, is the most taboo to be taken advantage of.

If it is really found out, there is a problem with Taicang's grain storage, and the household department doesn't know at all, not to mention his household secretary, even the thirteen Qing officials below, as well as those scribes who are not compiling, may have been killed by Lao Zhu.

Therefore, Yu Xin dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to go all out to thoroughly investigate the problems of the warehouse.

Didn't he tell Liu Chun that the warehouse is under the control of the household department!

In fact, this guy also kept a hand, although Wang Bi didn't take care of the household department, but all the incoming and outgoing accounts still had to be handed over to the household department...... Yu Xin mobilized personnel, carefully checked the accounts, and calculated day and night.

Although these people in the household department are much worse than Liu Chun's account office, they can be in charge of a country's finances and taxes, and their ability is not ordinary!

"My lord, we have counted it, and Taicang has a deficit of 180,000 stone of grain."

Yu Xin frowned, "Is that all?" Just report the loss, and it can be smoothed out. ”

"Your Excellency, please taste it carefully."

Yu Xin read something different from the weird smiles of his subordinates.

He looked more closely, and found that the old grain was actually 1.5 million more stones, and correspondingly, the new grain was less than 1 million stones!

Yu Xin exclaimed: "The result of our accounting is not far from the amount sent by the warehouse!" Are you sure you're right? ”

The subordinates hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, the little ones know that this matter is very important, and they definitely don't dare to joke with their lives. Rest assured, it's true! ”

Yu Xin held the result and was silent for a long time.

Clearly, something went wrong with Taicang.

And it's not a trivial matter.

According to Yu Xin's many years of experience as an official, it takes a lot of effort to reach out to Taicang, and it is by no means something that can be done overnight.

In other words, it is almost impossible to take advantage of a little bit of effort after so much effort. What will be pulled out later must be earth-shattering!

Take Guo Huan's case as an example, the number of people implicated is very wide, there are tens of thousands, six ministries and thirteen provinces, all of them are implicated, and the greedy grain has reached 24 million stones!

Lao Zhu was shocked by this result, and in order not to frighten the common people, when he wrote it in the big edict, he only wrote seven million stones.

Some people may wonder, can there really be so many?

Guo Huan is just a household servant, what is he going to do if he is greedy for so much food?

Some people even think that this is Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate rise in prison, killing heroes, framing innocents, and even exaggerating Lao Zhu's murder again...... Actually, Guo Huan's case has little to do with the honorable heroes.

Zhu Yuanzhang took his Huaixi nobles and laid down the country.

But these generals, who are accustomed to war, cannot govern the country. Although Lao Zhu also has some literati in his hands, the entire bureaucratic system still inherits the same set of the Yuan Dynasty, especially the middle and lower-level officials, no one needs to be nobody!

Including Guo Huan, when he was in the Yuan Dynasty, he had already become an official, and later continued to rise to the head of the household department.

These people were contaminated with the vices of the Yuan Dynasty, and many of them hollowed out their minds, greedy for the people's money, and did everything they could.

The whole bureaucracy is very corrupt.

Lao Zhu has long known these problems, but he has to eat one bite at a time, he first abolished Zhongshu Province, broke the entire bureaucratic system, and then used Guo Huan's case as a breakthrough to sweep away the remaining bureaucrats of the Yuan Dynasty.

If you look at the resumes of high-ranking officials in the last years of Hongwu, you will find an interesting phenomenon, Zhao Mian, Yang Jing, and Yu Xin...... These people were all promoted quickly by Lao Zhu after eighteen years of Hongwu.

To put it more clearly, the Guo Huan case is certainly to punish corruption and purge the rule of officials, but it also contains the purpose of metabolism and completely eliminating the bureaucratic system left over from the Yuan Dynasty.

It is not surprising that so many corrupt officials have been found and so many grains have been coveted.

As a first-hand witness of Guo Huan's case, Yu Xin understands very well that the case of the household department should not be investigated, and once it is decided to investigate, no one knows what can be found.

A Wang Bi, will he be the entire Huaixi nobles behind him?

If that's the case, you won't end well. Wasn't the official who tried Guo Huan's case back then slaughtered Lao Zhu to calm the anger of the public!

Yu Xin didn't think that he had a saint like Liu Chun, and he could not be bad.

But if you don't check, the deficit will only fall on the head of the household.

He has already lost points in changing the law, and if he makes a case again, he will simply go to the vegetable market to get a knife!

However, Liu Chun mentioned that he was willing to help him speak, but asking Liu Chun to help him in this case was too unbelievably not enough friends.

No matter what life or death is, Lao Tzu fights!

Yu Xin came to the noon gate with a heart of burning jade, handed over the sign, and met Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu's eyes are not very good, but he can't stand someone to be filial!

Not long ago, Liu Chun got reading glasses for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Misunderstood, Liu Chun hasn't burned the glass yet, this reading glasses are ground out of crystal pieces, and there is only one lens, which is a bit like a magnifying glass.

Lao Zhu hung with one eye, looking at Yu Xin's performance.

Gradually, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed!

"Yu Xin, the gap between new grain and old grain is so big, what the hell is going on?"

Yu Xin's forehead was sweating, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is the head of the household department, and it is difficult to escape the blame, based on the minister's inference, someone should be reselling official food!" ”

Yu Xin explained: "In the market, new grain is much more expensive than old grain, especially old grain that is more than five years old, even in Taicang, there is a lot of moldy and rotten grain that is thrown away every year, as much as more than 100,000 stones. If there is a flood, even more food will be thrown away. ”

"The minister thinks that no one will throw away the new grain as old grain, and over the years, it will cause the result of too much old grain."

Yu Xincheng was terrified, and every word was cautious.

Although his reasoning is reasonable, the problem is that there is no real evidence.

In case Lao Zhu is angry and treats him for the sin of gibberish, it will be unlucky.

These officials, except for Liu Chun, are all afraid of being killed.

But today's Zhu Yuanzhang was only angry for a while, and gradually returned to normal.

He said in a dull tone: "Yu Xin, you go down, continue to investigate, I want more evidence." ”

"Yes!"

Yu Xin wiped his cold sweat and came out of the palace, this is considered to be another life!

He took a brisk step and went to continue the investigation.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he watched Yu Xin's recital over and over again, and finally he spread his hands, threw his reading glasses aside, and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Yun Wei, what do you think?"

Zhu Yunwen was waiting by Lao Zhu's side, and when he saw Yu Xin poking out this case, his expression changed several times. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang watched the music silently, and he had enough time to calm down.

"Imperial grandfather, stealing the grain of Taicang is a great crime, and my grandson thinks that he should investigate it to the end!"

Lao Zhu was noncommittal, and asked again: "In front of Taicang, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, is in charge, what do you think of Wang Bi and his person?" ”

"This ...... The grandson didn't know, and the grandson only knew that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people. The emperor's grandfather ruled the country strictly and did not show favoritism. Many nobles were severely punished by the emperor's grandfather, and the grandson thought that Wang Bi was nothing remarkable! ”

Zhu Yunwen said loudly.

Lao Zhu's pupils shrank slightly, and he seemed to be very satisfied, "You can understand the general situation and take care of the overall situation, the imperial grandfather is very pleased, you go down!" ”

When Zhu Yunwen left the dormitory, Lao Zhu's eyes flickered and he sighed slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang does not show favoritism, but he also has a good friend named Tang He.

"Yun Wei, you're too clean!"
