Chapter 231 The Miserable Zhu Yunwen: I Know I Am Miserable, But When You Tell Me, Why Do You Feel T
Chapter 231 The miserable Zhu Yunwen: I know I am miserable, but when you tell me, why do you feel that I am even more miserable?
Ye Xuan wore a white robe and walked towards the main hall with a book under his arm.
During this time, many things happened in the court.
Yang Xian was killed.
Li Shanchang resigned.
Hu Weiyong served as prime minister.
However, this has no impact on Ye Xuan.
No one will pay attention to a small official like himself.
He will do whatever he needs to do.
Go to court when it's time to go to court.
When it’s time to give lectures to the emperor’s grandchildren, go teach the emperor’s grandchildren.
And today is the day to give lectures to the emperor's grandchildren.
"Mr. Ye, are you going to give lectures again?"
When the patrol soldiers saw Ye Xuan, they greeted Ye Xuan familiarly.
Ye Xuan is a frequent visitor to the palace.
From time to time, he went to the palace to teach the emperor and his grandchildren.
The patrolling soldiers were not surprised.
It's quite familiar.
"Well, yes, today is another day for me to teach the emperor's grandson."
Ye Xuan replied with a smile.
Be gentle.
Ye Xuan passed by this group of patrolling soldiers and continued to the main hall.
Imperial Palace, Main Hall.
The scent of calligraphy and ink fills the air.
Several rays of sunlight pass through the air to form the Tyndall effect, forming golden and transparent light beams. There seem to be fine dust floating in the light beams.
The little dumplings of the imperial grandsons gathered together and chattered.
"I recently copied the Hongwu spinning machine."
"Look."
"This little Hongwu spinning machine!"
Zhu Gaoxu’s chubby little hand held a palm-sized Hongwu spinning machine.
The little dumplings exclaimed.
"Amazing!!"
"How did you make it?"
"Will it work?"
"Of course it works!"
"I'll show you how to do it!"
Zhu Gaoxu started operating the palm-sized Hongwu spinning machine, and the little dumplings exclaimed and were envious.
"I also want a small Hongwu spinning machine."
"Gao Xu, you are so powerful. What on earth do you need to do to do this?"
Zhu Gaoxu raised his face with pride.
"After a lot of research, I came up with this small Hongwu spinning machine.
"Next I'm going to make a water-powered spinning machine!"
The little dumplings were filled with envy and admiration again.
Zhu Yunwen Xiaotuanzi, who was sitting in the seat, looked a little unhappy when he saw Zhu Gaoxu's popularity.
"Just get a small one out."
"What's so great."
"I can do it too."
Zhu Yunwen's little dumpling was lying on the table, looking lifeless.
Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting next to him, noticed something unusual about him.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhu Gaochi is about one year older than Zhu Yunwen.
It's his cousin.
He couldn't help but worry when he saw that Zhu Yunwen had no vitality and his face was languid, like a leaf that had withered in the sun.
Could it be that he is sick?
"No."
Zhu Yunwen's soft and waxy face wiped the table and shook his head from side to side, just like white dough being kneaded here and there. He said feebly:
"It's my mother-in-law."
"My mother-in-law confiscated all my machines."
"I'm not allowed to touch those machines yet."
"I was going to study steam engines."
“As a result, everything was destroyed in one fell swoop.
"My servants have also been warned by my mother and concubine. Now they don't dare to secretly give me machines anymore and supervise me all day long to learn Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism."
"It was just so painful."
Zhu Yunwen's little dumpling's face wrinkled into a ball, with a look of pain on his face.
After Lu knew the importance of Ye Xuan in Zhu Biao's heart, she did not dare to do anything.
Even Queen Ma can't take matters into her own hands.
Not to mention her.
Therefore, Mrs. Lu could only strictly monitor Zhu Yunwen's little dumpling in private.
This made Zhu Yunwen Xiaotuanzi miserable.
Zhu Gaochi Xiaotuanzi looked sympathetic.
"You are so miserable."
Zhu Yunwen Xiaotuanzi:....
He knew he was miserable.
But when I hear it from others and gain sympathy from others, I always feel that I am even worse off.
"The teacher is here!!"
The sharp voice of a certain little dumpling sounded.
It was like the sound of a school bell. The small group of people who were still gathered together ran back to their seats and sat down obediently.
They were sitting in danger.
The moment Ye Xuan walked into the school, the big black eyes of these little dumplings all looked at him, like lights focusing on Ye Xuan.
"Teacher, teacher!"
"What interesting knowledge do you want to tell us in today's class?"
"Teacher, teacher!"
"Look at the small Hongwu spinning machine I made!"
"Teacher, teacher!"
“Is this class still about governing the country?”
This group of little dumplings are like sparrows, chirping and full of energy.
These days, Ye Xuan is how the pope's grandsons govern the country.
That's why they ask.
But this time, Ye Xuan plans to continue teaching them how to govern the country.
"This small Hongwu spinning machine is very small and cute, and it is well made. Gao Xu obviously has a thorough understanding of the principles of the Hongwu spinning machine, so he was able to manufacture it and it is well made.
Ye Xuan praised the Hongwu spinning machine in Zhu Gaoxu's hand.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but giggle.
Happy face.
The other little dumplings looked envious.
"Then, let's start class."
“In this course, I will teach you how to prevent official corruption.
Ye Xuan didn't waste any time and went straight into this class.
He put the notebook under his arm on the table and pasted a long and wide piece of giant Dabai paper on the wall behind him as a "blackboard."
While he was busy, he thought:
"It takes so much trouble to write on the blackboard every time."
“How about getting out the blackboard and chalk.
“Blackboard is easier.”
"All you need to do is get a board and paint it black to make a blackboard."
"With chalk, it's more troublesome...
Ye Xuan had a white paper taped to his side and was thinking in a mess.
Corruption was very serious during the Hongwu period.
This issue has become a big problem in the Ming Dynasty.
The most famous one is the "Guo Huan Case". 453
Guo Huan, the minister of household affairs, took advantage of his power and colluded with Zhao Quande, the envoy of the Prosecution and Prosecution Commission, and Li He, the envoy of the Beiping Provincial Government, to commit corruption.
They embezzled taxes from Taiping Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture and other prefectures.
Stealing autumn grain.
A clever name is used to levy more taxes.
Among them, more than two million shi of autumn grain in western Zhejiang were embezzled.
You know, the autumn grain in western Zhejiang should have been handed over 4.5 million shi.
However, Guo Heng stole half of the food.
It's not terrible.
In addition, when taxing, they collect taxes such as food money, treasury money, god and Buddha money, etc. to line their own pockets.
They not only exploit the people.
He also embezzled royal taxes and food.
It's simply unconscionable.
In total, this group of people embezzled more than 24 million shi of grain.
The amount of food involved is shocking.
The scope of this case is even more shocking.
Twelve chief secretaries across the country were implicated in the case.
Wang Huidi, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Mai Zhide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others were all involved.
Because there is too much stolen food.
There are more than 20 million stones.
It is recorded in the Criminal Law Chronicles that "for fear that the people would not believe it, I wrote down seven million ears."
Zhu Yuanzhang executed all officials below the rank of Minister of the Six Ministries.
In order to recover the stolen goods, locations across the country were implicated.
Countless people had their homes confiscated and went bankrupt.
Tens of thousands of people died for their sins.
The case involved a huge amount of money, had a far-reaching impact on the economic field, and was widely implicated, which attracted the attention of the world.
