Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 59 The Ming Dynasty Before the Abyss
Chen Yunfu no longer knew how to express his feelings at this moment.

Shock.

Not a single one of the six divisions of the Great Ming Center is clean.

And all the top leaders are taking the lead in corruption.

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are just Zuo Shilang rotten, but the situation of the Ministry of Accounting and the Ministry of Industry is right there. It is said that they are servants, but they exercise the powers of the top leaders.

When was Zeng Tai in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Namai Zhide himself was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was demoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry because of some small mistakes half a year ago, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry has always been vacant, and everyone I knew it was reserved for Mai Zhide.

No one in charge of the six departments is clean!
As mentioned before, following the Hu Weiyong case, Daming abolished the position of Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, and did not set up a cabinet. Therefore, Daming lacked a central administrative agency.

In this political environment, the six ministers are already the pinnacle of Ming power, and they are all rotten.

Big political scandal!
In addition to being shocked, Chen Yunfu was even more heartbroken.

According to Yang Ruxian's confession, this can no longer be called corruption. They actually joined hands to steal the country!
What kind of behavior and what kind of bad nature is it to steal the treasury into one's own pocket!

In his previous life, Chen Yunfu had been unable to understand one thing, that is, many high-ranking officials had already lived comfortably all their lives, and the state paid for all food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so why should they be greedy.

Don't dare to spend the money you got greedily, just for the pleasure of looking at it?

Like Director Zhao, who used money to make a wall and money to make a bed.

But now, Chen Yunfu didn't understand even more.

The six ministers, one year's salary in this era is too much to support relatives of a family. They enjoy the highest standard of political treatment. The imperial court gives them officials, coachmen, guards, cooks, and servants, all of which are used by the imperial court. to raise.

It's not like it's shown in the TV series, these officials have to spend their own money.

Even the county magistrates, their grooms and soap officials are paid by the court.

It is recorded in "Daming Huidian" and "Shihuozhi" that the county magistrate is equipped with four firewood officials and one groom, and the wages of these five people are paid by the state.Clothing and pen and ink expenses in winter and summer are subsidized by the state.

"The clothes and salt are given every year." The clothes are clothes and food, and the salt is salt and vinegar. These things are distributed by the court.

Therefore, there is no such thing as saying that the county magistrate gave money to subordinate officials from his own salary, so that he was poor and had no rice to eat, so he went to embezzle and accept bribes. As the previous sentence said, embezzlement is entirely a personal act, and it is rooted in life Not directly related.

As for the county magistrate in the TV series, the behavior of paying salaries to his subordinate officials only exists in the donation class.

As for what is donating classes, I won’t explain much here, and those who are interested can find out.

Just talk about where the donation from Hongwu Dynasty came from.

Chen Yunfu just didn't understand that the six ministers were greedy for tens of millions of shi of grain and sold it privately, so what about the money.

What is the point of storing millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver.

What's the difference between this and Director Zhao sleeping on the banknote bed and eating noodles with fried sauce.

But by doing this, they are pushing Daming into the grave!
Today's Ming Dynasty is resuming production internally. It doesn't need money to build people's livelihood. Externally, Fu Youde, Mu Ying, Lan Yu, and Xu Da are still expropriating and recovering lost land in the north and south. Military expenditures have been high year after year, which also requires money.

If these moths continue, when the military expenditures are gone and the soldiers’ salaries cannot be paid out, Bei Yuan will continue to go south, and Daming will perish!
Is this alarmist talk? No, it is a fact, a bloody fact.

But even if Chongzhen was able to spend 1000 million taels to make up for the military expenses owed by Nine Sides for more than ten years, the Manchu Jurchens would not dare to covet Daming, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, let alone break into Beijing.

Jiashen national disaster will not happen.

Therefore, corruption will lead to the subjugation of the country. Why are there so many people who don't believe this sentence, and shamelessly say that corruption is the lubricant of the economy.

Why do we have to unswervingly fight against corruption and corruption, even if we know that corruption cannot be completely banned, we still have to devote a lot of energy to it, even if it is criticized as so-called 'idealism', it is because Jufan has some knowledge Everyone knows that if you don't fight corruption, the country will perish!

Looking at these people and these things that Yang Ruxian confessed, it is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, the Ming Dynasty, which has only been founded for 16 years, has already stepped on the edge of the precipice of subjugation!
Is it an exaggeration?

No exaggeration!
The prosperous Ming Dynasty is only one step away from subjugation.

That is, once Xu Da, Lan Yu, Fu Youde and others suffer even a disastrous defeat in a foreign war, but the court fails to provide compensation money, this will overturn the first domino and trigger a chain reaction will spread rapidly.

Therefore, in addition to shock and heartache, Chen Yunfu also felt fear.

The end of fear brought Chen Yunfu endless anger.

"You bastards, you are destroying this country!" Grabbing Yang Ruxian by the collar, Chen Yunfu roared furiously, his small face was completely filled with anger: "You dare to steal money from the treasury, What do you want to do, what do you want to do!"

Yang Ruxian was scolded, but she didn't look ashamed at all, instead she looked at Chen Yunfu with a sneer.

"What do we want to do? You should ask our Majesty what he wants to do. He is mean, suspicious, and indiscriminately killing innocent people. We have already been heartbroken by him.

In the case of Huaixi, tens of thousands of colleagues suffered innocent disasters, and some even gave Hu Weiyong a birthday gift, and they were all designated as accomplices by him, beheaded and ransacked.

Is such a king worthy of support? As an official, we have to think about ourselves. What if we touch the emperor's brow one day and we are beheaded and ransacked, we should leave some money in advance for future generations.

I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, even if I'm from the Zhu family, I'm not afraid. Over the years, the old man has raised dozens of concubines in private, leaving behind a lot of flesh and blood.

Since Weng Junbo was arrested, the old man has distributed money to them and told them to flee for their own lives. Now even the old man doesn't know where they fled to and what kind of life they lived.

So, come and kill, it doesn't matter if you fill your family with plants! "

Yang Ruxian's shamelessness undoubtedly added fuel to the flames, and for the first time, murderous intent appeared in Chen Yunfu's eyes.

He only regarded Yang Ruxian as shameful and hateful, but now, he found that Yang Ruxian had completely lost the most basic bottom line of being a human being.

The dignified Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, a member of the central government, even regarded his own corruption as something worth showing off, and even thought he was right to throw the blame on the country and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Master Hu, cut off all his fingers joint by joint."

Chen Yunfu gritted his teeth and squeezed out this order: "Don't you like to stretch out your hands for greed, this is your retribution."

"Chen Yunfu!" Yang Ruxian became mad after being frightened: "Who do you think you are, do you claim to be righteous? The old man told you that what you are doing at this moment will also become the root of your curse to the guillotine in the future.

The old man is waiting for you on Huangquan Road, just watch, those who work for Zhu Yuanzhang will not end well, this is known by the government and the public! "

Chen Yunfu looked at it coldly and said nothing.

"Check it out, kill it, I'll see where you can find it, and where you dare to find it!"

As he said that, Yang Ruxian reported the names of several people in a row, and finally laughed wildly: "Go investigate, go kill, what are you, you are just like the old man, you are just a slave of his Zhu family, hahahaha. "

In the cell, Lao Hu, who was about to be executed, was also dumbfounded after hearing these names.

It was Chen Yunfu who broke the horror.

"Cut his tongue off."

After explaining, Chen Yunfu leaned into Yang Ruxian's ear and said: "Holiday holds the Yitian sword and kills all the rotten ones to be relieved. You guys, never try to destroy this country."

Yang Ruxian's eyes widened, and before he could say anything, a hook blade had already plunged into his mouth, plucking out his tongue fiercely!
