Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 165 Thorough investigation!

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..."

Zhu Yuanzhang read these numbers with a smile on his face: "Okay, this suggestion is great! Data tampering is the most troublesome thing in all dynasties. If you add data written in Chinese characters after important data, this problem will be solved." It can be solved! Haha!"

His eldest grandson can always surprise him.

Sometimes, Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed with emotion. After experiencing the pain of bereavement, God sent him his grandson back, which was the best gift in his remaining time.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang in a good mood, Zhu Xiongying said, "Grandpa, grandson has another suggestion."

"Anthracene?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned, and quickly waved: "Say it, say it!"

Zhu Xiongying said: "When my grandson checked the accounts, I also found a problem, that is, the measurement of tax and grain in various places is not uniform. Unevenness and serious embezzlement, Sun Er suggested that the imperial court build copper buckets as soon as possible, and distribute them to all regions as a standard measuring tool.

"Ah, very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "These two policies will be implemented starting this year."

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, waved his hand, and said: "Come on, go and call the Minister of the Household Department!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt something was wrong when he said the words, and immediately waved his hands in displeasure: "Forget it, forget it, go and call Zhan Hui!"

The Minister of the Household Department is an extremely important position, in charge of important matters such as money, grain, people's livelihood and economy.

Now Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, committed suicide in fear of crime, and the Household Department is in a state of leaderless, and many things will be affected.

Zhan Hui already holds two important positions in the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is already too busy, but now he is still looking for him, obviously the workload is a bit beyond the standard.

And the workload of the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Industry is also full.

Now Zhao Mian's matter is not just his own business, it is likely to involve many people in the household department. Although Zhao Mian has committed suicide now, the people in the household department are already frightened. How can they have any thoughts on doing things?
Spring plowing is imminent, and various policies are waiting to be implemented. The Ministry of Household Affairs must be stabilized this morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Dasun, do you think the household department needs to continue the investigation?"

Zhu Xiongying thought for a moment, then replied: "Check!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, that's what we mean too."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "But have you ever thought about how to fill the vacancy in the household department once it is checked?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandpa, our Daming has a lot of talents. Are you afraid that this vacancy will not be filled? This year's spring test is about to start, just in time to fill up talents for the household department!"

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction: "Then do as you want, but you must pay attention to your body, don't make any mistakes, otherwise you will give us a rest!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really afraid that something would happen to Zhu Xiongying again. If something happened to Zhu Xiongying, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"understood!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandpa, eat quickly!"

As he said that, Zhu Xiongying himself picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

"Stinky boy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed.

Talking to the old man, Zhu Xiongying's mood also improved a lot.

Like the old man, he was really afraid of losing him. He couldn't imagine how sad he would be if one day the old man was gone. No one would discuss things like this again.

……

After breakfast, Zhu Xiongying recruited Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Minister, Yang Jing has met His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager."

"Get up."

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and asked Yang Jing to stand up.

Yang Jing had known Zhu Xiongying as early as when he dealt with Zhou Ji. Back then, he was directly frightened by Zhu Xiongying's methods.

Later, after Zhu Xiongying entered the palace, the two had less interaction.

Because Zhu Xiongying seldom puts his mind on punishment and prison, but mostly on the people's livelihood and economy.

But Yang Jing is an official, Zhu Xiongying knows this.

When Zhu Yuanzhang compiled the "Da Gao", he listed Cai Zhui, Zuo Tongzheng Ruchang, Qin Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Households, to encourage them. To be faithful to my duty is my heart."

Yang Jing and others are known as law-abiding officials and role models for officials and bureaucrats.

"Master Yang, Gu called you over, you must know what's going on, right?"

Yang Jing nodded and said: "I understand that it is for the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I was also the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is really unexpected that the Ministry of Household Affairs has fallen into the quagmire of corruption today. It is sad and lamentable!"

Zhu Xiongying said: "I just want to thoroughly investigate the household department, what do you think?"

Yang Jing pondered for a moment, then replied: "I agree with Your Highness, I will deal with it fairly and clearly check the truth!"

"very good!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded in satisfaction: "Master Lao Yang is the one who is responsible for the household affairs."

Yang Jing cupped his hands and said, "This is the duty of a minister!"

Zhu Xiongying continued: "I'm here to ask you. Apart from the household affairs, there is one more thing I want to explain to Mr. Yang."

"His Royal Highness, please speak!"

"Gu wants you to check, is there someone who is leading something behind the incident that Shangshu Zhao Mian was reported?"

After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Yang Jing was slightly taken aback.

How clever he is, he already understood Zhu Xiongying's meaning as soon as he heard it. It is true that the matter of the household department this time came by a bit of a coincidence.

It's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun was suspicious.

Yang Jing replied: "I understand, I will do my best!"

Zhu Xiongying said: "You know this matter and I know it. Don't pass it on to a third person. Do you understand Gu's meaning?"

"I understand!"

"Okay then, back off first!"

……

Zhu Xiongying believed in Yang Jing more than in Jin Yiwei's Jiang Yu. Yang Jing was smart and upright, but Jiang Hao was different. He was strong in martial arts but ruthless, and he was greedy for fame and fortune by any means.

Zhu Xiongying also thought a lot about the household affairs this time.

The current situation is far from being as calm as it appears on the surface. The reason why the surface is calm now is because the old man is still alive, and those storms can only be hidden in the water.

If the old man made any mistakes, these storms and waves would surge out of the water and stir up trouble.

So Zhu Xiongying thought, he must suppress or eliminate all these storms while the old man is still alive.

He's not afraid, but wants the old man to feel at ease.

Otherwise, according to the historical development, when the old man passed away, he didn't even dare to let his sons go back to Beijing for the funeral, because he was afraid that when he was not around, he would not be able to calm down these storms.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying can no longer passively let some people do tricks behind his back...
