Prince of Chaos

Chapter 44
Thanks to Dental Landis for the reward!

For the time being, Xishan Huangzhuang has cleaned up the house.At this time, Zhu Changluo began to take stock of his property.

After intimidating the little bosses, Zhu Changluo left Wang An and the eunuch in charge who he brought over.

Zhu Changluo said: "Don't be cautious, just sit down."

Wang An and the eunuchs in charge carefully sat down.

Zhu Changluo looked at the eunuchs in charge and said: "You are all able-bodied men recommended to me by Eunuch Sun, and I will not treat you badly, but I hope you will not bring some bad habits to Huangzhuang, otherwise, Don't blame me for not giving me a chance."

The eunuchs in charge were so frightened that they knelt down and replied, "I understand."

When Zhu Changluo saw their stance, he didn't have any expression on his face. He didn't care whether these people really understood, but if someone still touched the bottom line recklessly, then don't blame Zhu Changluo for saying it was unpredictable.

Zhu Changluo said: "Let's all introduce ourselves. Let's all get to know each other. In order to avoid problems in communicating with each other in the future."

Then Zhu Changluo gave Wang An a wink, and Wang An stood up and said, "My name is Wang An, and I am the new manager of Xishan Huangzhuang appointed by the master. Please take care of me in the future."

The remaining four eunuchs in charge quickly returned the gift.Then the eunuch sitting next to Wang An began to introduce the names one by one: "The slave's name is Zhang San."

"The slave's name is Li Si."

"The slave is called Wang Wu."

"The slave's name is Li Jinzhong."

When Zhu Changluo heard the last name, he paused, "Wait a minute, what did you say is your name?"

Li Jinzhong was very tall, and he was also very powerful. If it weren't for the eunuch clothes on his body, no one would think he was a eunuch.

Li Jinzhong said carefully: "Slave Li Jinzhong."

Zhu Changluo looked at Li Jinzhong, and felt that the name was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and then Zhu Changluo asked, "What was your name before entering the palace?"

Li Jinzhong replied in a low voice: "Wei Jinzhong. Eunuch Sun thought it was not good to add this name to this surname, so he changed the slave's name to Li Jinzhong."

Good guy!Now Zhu Changluo was stunned!

This guy turned out to be the [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian who became famous all over the world and was hailed as the "savior" of Ming by later generations of netizens!

Seeing this famous historical figure standing in front of him, Zhu Changluo stood up curiously and looked at Li Jinzhong. The more he looked at it, the more he felt incredible. How did such a fierce man grow up like this?Shouldn't he have a cold and ruthless appearance?Why do you look so honest and honest now?In particular, Zhu Changluo also saw that Li Jinzhong's arm muscles were obviously more developed, and the eunuch's clothes did not cover the muscle lines on his arms.

Zhu Changluo asked, "What skills do you have?"

Li Jinzhong said: "Slaves know how to shoot arrows and ride horses."

Zhu Changluo was surprised and said: "You are a versatile man in both civil and military affairs."

Li Jinzhong said in embarrassment: "The slave is illiterate."

Zhu Changluo said: "It doesn't matter if you can't read, don't underestimate your talent, you are much better than those who can read. You will follow me from now on. By the way, change your name too. Li Jinzhong sounds awkward to me. You can change your original surname back to Wei Zhongxian. This name suits you better."

Wei Zhongxian heard that Zhu Changluo praised him so much, so he quickly knelt on the ground to thank him, "Thank you, master, for giving me your name."

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian received special attention from Zhu Changluo, Zhang San Li Si Wang Wu, he was very envious when he saw it, and felt that his name was sloppy.

Zhu Changluo continued to assign tasks. He said to Wang An: "Wang An will be responsible for everything in Huangzhuang in the future, and everyone must obey Wang An's arrangements. Zhang San is responsible for the financial situation in Huangzhuang, and Li Si is responsible for the property and property in Huangzhuang. For the warehouse situation, Wang Wu is responsible for the manpower situation in Huangzhuang. Wei Zhongxian follows me and is responsible for supervising everyone in Huangzhuang."

Wei Zhongxian was terrified, he didn't know why he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by Zhu Changluo in the first place, even Wang An couldn't help but look at Wei Zhongxian more, feeling that his status seemed to be threatened by a new eunuch.

After assigning the task, Zhu Changluo asked Wang An and Wang Wu to find the roster of tenants in Huangzhuang. Zhu Changluo wanted to know how many people there are in Huangzhuang?
As a result, there are still many problems in this investigation.

Zhu Changluo looked at the roster that Wang An and Wang Wu had found. He looked it over and found that there were a total of 560 tenant households on the roster. According to the number of households with three to five people in each household, there should be a minimum of [-] tenants in this Huangzhuang. Seven hundred people.

However, when Zhu Changluo summoned the managers and tenants of the Huangzhuang, Zhu Changluo also made a rough visual inspection. There are less than 200 tenants in the Huangzhuang, so the rest of the tenants don’t know that Zhu Changluo is here, or do they deliberately not send manpower? , or these people simply do not have.This problem is quite serious.Therefore, Zhu Changluo must know the real situation in Huangzhuang, otherwise what is the use of Huangzhuang coming?

Zhu Changluo said to Wang Anwang five times: "According to the tenant information recorded in the roster, you personally took people to visit each household, and re-recorded the number of people in each household and how much imperial land they cultivated. I want to know this imperial tenant. Who is there in the village?"

Wang An took over the roster and began to count the personnel in Huangzhuang one by one according to Zhu Changluo's request.

After two days, Wang An and Wang Wu finally found out the specific population and manpower situation in Huangzhuang.

There are 210 actual tenant households in Huangzhuang, of which 210 are black households, which are not on the roster.These 750 tenant households plus their family members have a total of 1000 people.There is a difference of [-] people from Zhu Changluo's lowest estimated population!

How shocking this data is, this is still the Royal Manor.If this situation is extended to the whole country, how many vacant households will there be?How many hidden black households should there be?
This is really unimaginable!
Then Zhu Changluo asked Wang An, Zhang San and Li Si to check the financial situation in Huangzhuang. As a result, there was less than 500 taels of silver on the books of the huge Huangzhuang, and there were either old rice or bad rice in the warehouse for storing grain.Most warehouses are empty enough to run mice.

This Huangzhuang deficit and corruption is so serious!This also made Zhu Changluo understand the reasons for the corruption and subjugation of the Ming Dynasty.This country is really bad to the bone, but anyone with any power is desperately trying to suck the bones of such a country.In the end, all the pressure and exploitation were put on the people at the bottom.

The reason why this country is still lingering is because such oppressed and exploited people are still working hard to carry this country to crawl.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo broke out in a cold sweat, this is really terrifying!

At this time, Zhu Changluo finally understood why Lao Zhu killed the Quartet after founding the country and tried his best to fight corruption.These vested interests did not satisfy the glory and wealth given by the imperial court. They greedily wanted more resources and more wealth.

As a beggar, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been oppressed for countless lifetimes, must have hated these abominable corrupt officials so much, that's why he prospered, eradicated the nobles, and attacked the gentry!
Now, this country has not been anti-corruption for 200 years, and everyone has taken it as commonplace to encroach on the interests of others.This attitude should also be changed.

Thus, a ruthless anti-corruption killing began in Xishan Huangzhuang.
