Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 355 Killing Corrupt Officials to Kill Officials

"What crime?" Zhu Yuxi slowed down her tone again, "Xie Qing only needs to re-judgment according to the law.

It should be noted that the laws today are quite lenient compared with the time of the Taizu. If we show leniency to the corrupt, wouldn't we be encouraging corruption and breaking the law? "

Xie Xuelong said: "I understand."

On the other hand, Hao Guangming was thinking, thanks to this time and space, he met Zhu Yu, the empress. If he met other traversers, even if he didn't completely restore Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment method, he would recover by [-]% to [-]%.

But this time Zhu Yuxi did not soften her heart, she made up her mind to behead enough corrupt officials to deter other Ming officials.

Xie Xuelong then reported on the trials and judgments against corrupt officials of the Ministry of War.

Because the Ministry of Households manages a large number of warehouses, the number of officials is the largest among the six departments.

In comparison, there are not so many officials in the Ministry of War.

There are only 33 officials, and only more than 200 officials.

This time, 5 officials were sentenced to be beheaded for corruption, 11 were exiled, and 7 were demoted and fined.

On the other hand, the proportion of corrupt officials in the Ministry of War was relatively small. Only 13 were sentenced to beheading, 22 were exiled, and 42 were dismissed and fined.

Of course, all those who were beheaded and exiled had their homes confiscated.

After all, one of Aimee Zhu's goals in punishing corrupt officials is to confiscate the wealth of these people in order to increase the income of the state treasury and her private treasury.

After Xie Xuelong finished his report, Zhu Wei said, "When executing these corrupt officials, we need to explain to the people what they have committed.

Remember, it is for ordinary people, not just scholars.

Therefore, your verdict must be based on the vernacular, so that people who have not read the book can understand it.Xie Qing, do you remember? "

As soon as Xie Xuelong heard Auntie Zhu ask him "Do you remember it" instead of "Do you understand it", he knew that there was no need to discuss this matter.

He also felt that this move was good and pragmatic, so he replied: "I will remember it."

Aunt Zhu said again: "The matter of ransacking the house will be carried out by the imperial guards and the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who handled the case together to supervise each other.

If during the process of ransacking the house, corruption of ink happens again, I will punish it severely! "

Xie Xuelong said: "The minister will definitely tell the officials of the Ministry of Punishment."

The implication is that the imperial guards are not under his control, and neither is he.

···
Outside the noon gate.

More than 300 accountants and shopkeepers who were conscripted and completed the accounting work of the household department and the military department gathered together happily.

Not only because they can go home, but also because everyone has received a commission of 10 taels of silver.

It is also because they watched the sentencing of those corrupt officials by the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, and they all felt that the hard work of the past three days has become very meaningful.

After all, as a group of businessmen, they have suffered a lot from corrupt officials in the past.

This time it can even be said to be revenge.

It is a heart-warming move!

Then there is one thing that makes them even more happy, that is, the imperial court will award them the title of "accountant".

During the three days of clearing accounts at the Meridian Gate, they finally figured out the meaning of this "accounting certificate".

It is said that the imperial court intends to allow accountants across the country to obtain accounting certificates, and the first-level accounting certificate is only the lowest level.

After the promotion is successful, the imperial court may also check whether the accountant has an accounting certificate while checking the accounts of the merchants, and only recognize the accounts made by those who have the certificate.

In addition, the imperial court will also recruit officials and even officials from the crowd with accounting certificates!

Therefore, this accounting certificate is indeed a kind of fame, but it is not as valuable as the fame of a scholar.

These accountants and shopkeepers can also be regarded as scholars, at least half of them, but for various reasons, they gave up the imperial examination and became accountants and shopkeepers.

Now that he has the opportunity to step into the officialdom with his accounting skills, he is naturally both looking forward to and excited.

Wei Yao stayed at the edge of the crowd, listening to other people's comments, and was also quite happy.

She has no extravagant plans for entering the officialdom with an accounting certificate, as long as it can make Yingchunfang's business better, she will be satisfied.

Of course, being able to help the main court find out corrupt officials gave her greater spiritual satisfaction.

"Here we come, we come!" someone yelled.

"Why is it a female officer again?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, Jian Guo is a woman, so if the people around you don't use female officials, can't they use men?"

"Hush, keep your voice down, I heard that the son-in-law is an immortal. If you gossip about the princess like this, be careful that the son-in-law finds out and punishes you."

"···"

Wei Yao looked over, and found that it was indeed a female official again, but it was not Liu Zhu and Linglong who taught everyone the double-entry bookkeeping method, but a strange woman.

She sized her up and found that this woman's demeanor surpassed that of Linglong and Liu Zhu, giving off the impression of a well-educated person.

"My official is Liu Shuying, the secretary of the secretariat, and I am here to issue accounting certificates to you." Liu Shuying looked at the crowd with a smile and said, "Because you have performed quite well this time, the Supervisory Kingdom issued a decree to bestow the best performance 30 people with a second-level accounting certificate, and selected the household registration department as officials."

Upon hearing this, the cashiers and shopkeepers couldn't keep quiet, and they started discussing, most of them showing surprise expressions.

"A second-level accounting certificate? If the first-level is equivalent to Tongsheng, then isn't this second-level equivalent to a scholar?"

"Is there someone who can be an official in the household department today? This is really unimaginable."

"That's right, even the minor officials in the local yamen are like masters, let alone the officials of the household department."

"Bodhisattva bless me, let me be lucky enough to be chosen!"

"What's the use of asking the Bodhisattva? Should you ask the son-in-law?"

"But what kind of god is the son-in-law? It can't just be this name, right?"

"Then I don't know."

"···"

Wei Yao was also shocked when she heard the news, but she wasn't very happy because she didn't think she could be chosen by herself.

"quiet!"

A loud voice suddenly sounded, but it was Liu Shuzhen who used the loudspeaker.

"The following officials will issue the second-level accounting certificates one by one: Chen Liangchen..."

Seeing that Chen Liangchen was the first to be called out, many people showed envy, but they didn't think it was unfair, because in the past three days, Chen Liangchen had performed amazingly in clearing the accounts.

And in the end, Liu Shuying quickly read out a list of names, which seemed to have no intention of ranking, which made everyone less jealous of Chen Liangchen.

Those whose names were not pronounced were full of anticipation, apprehension, and nervousness.

And those whose names were read and received a second-level accounting certificate were full of joy and clapped their crowns to celebrate.

"Wei Yao, where's Wei Yao?"

Hearing her own name suddenly, Wei Yao thought she was hallucinating. After Liu Shuying yelled it three times with a loudspeaker, she realized that she hurried forward to get the certificate.

This time, some people became sour.

"She, a woman, can get a second-level accounting certificate?"

"I haven't seen any eye-catching performances from her in the past three days."

"you do not say."

"···"

Those who spoke sour words did not dare to speak loudly, nor did they dare to say more, but Wei Yao still heard it.

But she didn't take it to heart - as a female shopkeeper for many years, she heard such things a lot, if she took it all to her heart, how could she persist until now?

There is only one thing on her mind right now.

Could it be that the imperial court also recruited her as an official?Can she say no?
She also wants to go back to run the ancestral Yingchunfang.

After Liu Shuzhen personally issued the second-level accounting certificate, she asked the rest of the people to line up to receive the first-level accounting certificate at the Imperial Guard, which made everyone feel that the second-level certificate is indeed much more expensive than the first-level certificate.

Afterwards, Liu Shuying asked the Guards to call aside 30 people who had obtained the second-level certificates and give a speech.

"You should know that after investigating corruption in the household department and the military department this time, the officials were empty.

Therefore, I hope that after you go back, you will go to the Ministry of Finance to report this afternoon or tomorrow morning. "

Everyone bowed and said yes.

Wei Yao thought that there would be other people who were unwilling to go, but found that there was none.

But her situation was really special, so she bravely came to Liu Shuying.

According to her habit, she originally wanted to call him "Secretary Master", but found that it was inappropriate to use this name on Liu Shuying.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Secretary Liu, do I also have to go to the Ministry of Accounts to report?"

Liu Shuying looked at Wei Yao with a smile, and said: "There are no women in the household department now, it is really inconvenient for you to go.

However, someone has recommended you to Jian Guo as a secretariat clerk, and Jian Guo recognized your situation after knowing your situation, but I don’t know if you are willing to work in the secretariat. "

　Second more.

　　Will add one more tonight.
