Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 506 Follow Me, That's Right

The so-called private accounts are relative to the public accounts of the yamen.

In the former dynasty, the official administration was in vain, and the management of the yamen was chaotic. The subordinate officials colluded with the local local tyrants and tried to hide or even edit the original fish scale albums and running account books.Make it impossible for officials to collect taxes from large households.

But the subordinate staff have to master these data themselves, which is the source of their gray income.Sometimes, when the Shangguan is in a hurry, he has to use this to make the big family bleed to eliminate the disaster.Therefore, they will rebuild the account books in private at the same time, and as the guys who eat, they will pass it on from father to son.

And Hu Weiyong asked Shen Liben to build this "Regardless of Account Books", which is exactly this kind of thing.It's just that here, the officials have become subordinates, and the emperor has become an official.

"This gentleman is right, this account is not only our cornucopia, but also a talisman." Shen Liben nodded.

"That's the collective corruption invented by Prime Minister Hu, which is more efficient and more convenient to bargain with big households." Zhu Zhen teased angrily: "Otherwise, who would dare to knock the stick on Zheng Yi's head? Zhang Tianshi crushed an official to death." , it was too easy."

"Your Highness is really knowledgeable, but this is not the case." Shen Liben praised: "With "No matter the account book", it is clear at a glance how much benefit you should receive every year. You will not be harassed by the government if you are with those big households, which can be called convenience .”

"It's easy for you, but what about the imperial court?! What about the people?!" Zhu Zhen slapped the table and scolded angrily: "You all eat fat intestines and brains, but the fuck is impoverishing the imperial court and suffering the common people!"

"Yes, it's just that this is not our original creation, it's just like this..." Shen Liben explained cautiously.

"Is it right to be like this?!" Zhu Zhen said angrily:

"If it is correct, the Yuan Dynasty will not perish! The reason why they perished so quickly is because they were corrupt officials in the Yuan Dynasty and no one cares about them! That's why my father has to take care of them severely. You people are ruining the country and the people Corrupt officials!"

As he said that, he waved his hand violently, and ordered: "Take him down, don't give him food, but also let him taste how the common people suffer from hunger!"

"Your Highness, the guilty minister said everything..." Shen Liben wailed and was dragged out of the main hall.

At this time, it was getting dark, and Zhu Zhen finally remembered that Shu Laibao was still waiting outside, so he had someone call him in.

When he was in the Beggar Gang before, Shu Laibao was still comfortable with him.Now that he came to the magnificent Xingyuan, facing Zhu Zhen who had restored the majesty of the prince, the former gang leader couldn't help but become cautious.

After kowtowing to His Highness, Zhu Zhen asked him to get up and answer.

"Tell me, why did you save Zhao Zheng?" King Chu asked warmly.

"He is His Highness's guard, and His Highness is the son of the patriarch, so he is considered one of his own." Shu Laibao laughed and said, "Isn't it natural and right for one of us to help our own?"

"Nonsense." The King of Chu rolled his eyes and said calmly, "To me, you'd better tell the truth."

Xin said that because this king didn't tell the truth, my father was full of nonsense.If everyone didn't tell the truth, wouldn't Daming become a country of lies?
"Well, it's actually because of Liu's participation in politics." Shu Laibao hurriedly said seriously:
"Although I, Shu Laibao, am a beggar, I was not born begging for food. When our family was in the Yuan Dynasty, corrupt officials and landlords and old fortunes colluded and forced the family to go bankrupt. Except for the villain, the whole family starved to death. .”

"That's really similar to my family." Lao Liu said softly.

Shu Laibao said in his heart that I am not as capable as your father.On the face, he said respectfully: "Master Hong Wu is also from a poor background. Like us, he hates corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry the most, so we believe him because he is sincerely doing good for us poor people.

"So I also asked someone to read the notices posted by Liu Canzheng and the leaflets. They are all in plain language that ordinary people can understand, and the reason is very clear. Tax, Mr. Tian pays less tax’, isn’t that right?” Shu Laibao said with tears in his eyes:
"At that time, my family only had five acres of Susukida, but it took 20 years to collect the tax. Why, it's because the landlord and the rich don't pay the tax, so the government can only do their best to apportion it on our heads!"

"Now Emperor Hongwu sent Liu Canzheng to change it, but the common people tried their best to stop it. I know they were just being fooled by those tyrants, who would definitely not want to make such a change, so they urged the common people to make trouble for Liu Canzheng. "Shu Laibao sighed and said:
"I am a soft-spoken person, and I can't let the common people recognize good from bad, but I know who is right and who is wrong."

"On the first day of the first lunar month, the disciples of our Beggar Clan unintentionally rescued Brother Zhao, and the next day they heard that Liu Canzheng was gone. I suspected that there was a relationship between the two of them. After asking, he was indeed Liu Canzheng's Guard, I am determined to save him and let him avenge Liu Canzheng..."

After finishing speaking, Shu Laibao smiled wryly again and said, "Your Highness may not believe these things, how could a beggar think about these things?"

"What's wrong with the beggar? I don't think any of the officials in Jiangxi can figure it out." Zhu Zhen beckoned him to sit down at the table and said:

"Besides, beggars are not ashamed! My father was a beggar, and this king was also a beggar. I am still your leader."

"Your Highness still admits this?" Shu Laibao couldn't help but exclaimed in ecstasy.

"Is it true that this king can still say what he said?" Zhu Zhen said with a stinky face:

"You really have foresight, kid. You don't want Xiong Qitai's reward of [-] guan, but you want to worship the leader of this king. Let me tell you, following the leader of this guild will have a bright future, and it is worth much more than [-] guan."

"Yes, my subordinate is so lucky. I will go through fire and water with the leader in the future, and I will not hesitate!" Shu Laibao hurriedly climbed up the pole.

The two were talking enthusiastically, Liu Li came in with a tray to serve dishes.

She had changed back into a plain dress in green clothes. Although she hadn't put on any makeup, she couldn't hide her beauty, which made Shu Laibao stunned.But he has been a leader of the gang before, and he knows what to look at and what not to look at, so he quickly lowered his head.

"Don't be so cautious, this is also a brother in our gang." The sixth child laughed.

"Huang Rong pays a visit to the deputy gang leader." Because the murderer had been arrested, Liu Li was in a good mood, and cooperated with Lao Liu to send a blessing to Shu Laibao.

"I can't, I can't." Shu Laibao hurriedly got up to kowtow to return the salute. He had a clear mind and knew that the little beauty who was with the King of Chu must have a lot to do with him.

"You stand up, you deserve this gift." Zhu Zhen said seriously.As he spoke, he held the letter in his hand and showed it to Liu Li.At the same time, it tells the story of how Shu Laibaoyi rescued Zhao Zheng.

At the end, Zhu Zhen said softly: "If Shu Laibao hadn't come to his rescue, Big Brother Zhao would definitely have died. Although Xiong Qitai would definitely not be able to run away, he would not be able to find out the people behind him, let alone know the tragic stories of big brother. Struggle experience..."

After reading the letter and listening to the statement of the little uncle, Liu Li was already in tears. She didn't realize why the sixth child pressed the last line to prevent her from reading it.

She bowed deeply to Shu Laibao again, expressing her sincere thanks.

Shu Laibao panicked, not knowing how to return the gift.
