Ming Dynasty: My three-hundred-year-old imperial master frightened Zhu Yuanzhang

Above the court, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other.

I never expected that there would be such a big discovery in this matter.

But even so

Liu Sheng and the officials below could not escape the responsibility of embezzling taxes and grain.

Especially Hu Weiyong and others, who are salivating in the Taiyuan area, are even more worried about this matter and don't want to let it go.

Just when Hu Weiyong wanted to continue playing,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt a little relieved that the grain was still there, immediately asked: "Since the grain is there, why do you secretly set up a grain warehouse instead of handing it over to the imperial court?"

For Liu Sheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang still believes it.

Because this kind of lie is completely unnecessary.

If it is a lie, at most it will delay a little time to verify.

If it is found to be a lie, then there is one more crime of deception.

The original Yi three clans will directly become the nine clans of extermination.

Zhu Yuanzhang believes that no one will take the lives of his nine clans in order to live for a few more months!

Liu Sheng just cried and laughed and said: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty's national policy of agricultural tax is a policy of collecting ten and paying one. "

"No matter what the harvest is, it is a fixed number, and we do pay according to this fixed number!"

Hearing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

yes!

They did pay this amount!

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang reacted.

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "We have seen with our own eyes that just Yanmen County is a bumper harvest. "

"Your counties in Taiyuan Prefecture are also a bumper harvest this year!".

"In this case, your total is wrong, are we wrong?"

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong immediately walked out with Yuhu in his arms: "Lord Liu, don't say more." "

"Now that the country is decided, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and I still have to prepare for the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is the time when we need grain and grass. "

"You don't pay much when you have food, but you build a warehouse and keep it for yourself, which is a great crime!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong's friends also bowed down with Qiqi:

"The prisoner Liu Sheng is extremely evil, and I ask Your Majesty to punish the crime and correct the law of the country!"

Looking at so many ministers who taught him to do things, Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart.

Excellent!

They are digging their own graves!

This is exactly the result that Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

It's just that it's not the result of now.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just said lightly: "We haven't finished the trial yet, and there is no hurry to convict us." "

"Someone!".

"Give him a map of Taiyuan, and show us where the granaries are. "

"Also, what is the matter with your granary for war preparedness, disaster preparedness, and utilization?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang asked, everyone looked at Liu Sheng again.

yes!

The granary is the granary!

Why do you still have all these classifications?

In everyone's eyes, Liu Sheng stood up straight, as if he was not guilty at all.

Liu Sheng took out a damp-proof parchment from his arms and said, "No need to draw." "

"The minister has brought the map of the granary, so please preview it. "

Saying that, Liu Sheng also raised his voice and said: "As early as when I learned that His Majesty sent troops to put Lord Ye Qingye under house arrest in Yanmen Prefecture, the minister wanted to bring the picture to Beijing and comment on Lord Ye. "

"It's just that I never expected that as soon as the minister's front foot was about to set off, Lord Zheng came with the holy decree on the back foot. "

"Therefore, the minister only has to bring a picture to accompany him to Beijing, and only ask His Majesty to uphold justice for Lord Ye!"

As soon as he heard the word 'anti-evaluation', the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military eyes immediately widened.

It's all like this, can it still be squared?

Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only Zhu Biao smiled with relief after hearing this.

Turnaround!

There must be a turnaround!

But his father Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was almost angry and couldn't sit still.

Good guys!

How deep is this Liu Shengzhong Gu?

It's all like this, and you still want to comment on Ye Qing?

Wait!

Comment on Ye Qing?

Doesn't that mean we're blind?

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth trembled, and the red bloodshot in his eyes quickly became dense.

He really wants to cut Liu Sheng right now!

But in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, everything must be truth-seeking.

After Zhu Yuanzhang endured his anger, he also wanted to see how this Liu Sheng relied on a picture to comment on Ye Qing.

"Bring it in!".

"Then you say, let's watch and listen!"

This time, Hu Weiyong didn't speak again.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Yuanzhang has already been furious.

No matter what he Liu Sheng said, he couldn't escape the knife in his neck.

In the eyes of all,

Liu Sheng, who was dressed in prison uniform, held his head high and said with a clear conscience

"Do you know that when I was promoted to the prefect, why did I recommend my county Cheng Yeqing to succeed me as the prefect of Yanmen?"

"Train protégés?".

Huh!

After Liu Sheng smiled disdainfully, he said solemnly: "It's because of a suggestion from Lord Ye." "

"As early as when I was still the magistrate of Yanmen, Lord Ye showed his amazing ability to govern the world. "

"He opened ditches and diverted water from rivers to irrigate fertile fields, so that farmers no longer depended on the weather for food, and also played a role in flood control and diversion. "

Because of this, Yanmen County began to harvest year after year. "

"In the first bumper year, I was also prepared to pay more grain taxes and even let the farmers keep more grain for themselves. "

"But Lord Ye said, I'm harming the peasants. "

"If there is too much grain circulating in the market, the price will fall, and the farmers' pockets will become more and more deflated. "

"If farmers are asked to keep too much food for themselves, they will not be able to handle it, and they will waste losses. "

"Therefore, he proposed that the government buy it and build a warehouse for other use!".

"The so-called other use is embodied in the six words 'war preparedness,' 'disaster preparedness,' and 'utilization.'"

“......"

In this way, Liu Sheng explained loudly with a heart of grievance.

Following his explanation, everyone finally understood the wonderful use of these six words.

The granary of war readiness, not far from Yanmen Pass, is used for war readiness as the name suggests.

Yanmen Pass is the center of the North Great Wall

The army goes out on an expedition, once the grain and grass can't keep up, and then it is transported from Yingtian, that is, far water can't quench the thirst!

At that time, there will be grain in Yanmenguan, and you can support it nearby.

Not to mention the expedition, it is to defend the front line of the Great Wall, and the 200,000 stone of war preparation food at Yanmen Pass can also be supported left and right while taking care of itself.

To put it bluntly, whether it is offensive or defensive, it has solved the problem that the imperial court cannot quench its thirst.

The surplus grain of the first year should first be filled with the granary of war readiness.

The soldiers' food must be guaranteed!

The new surplus grain of the second year was reinstalled in the war preparation granary.

At the same time, the old grain from the war preparation granary was transferred to the disaster preparedness granary.

If there is a natural disaster in the northern region, you can get through it on your own.

In the third year, the new surplus grain was still filled with war-ready granaries.

And so on

The war granary will always have new grain, and the soldiers must eat well!

The disaster preparedness granary will always be old for two years, and the disaster victims must also be guaranteed!

The granary will be used for three years and can be sold to other grain-deficient provinces at any time

In fact, Ye Qing did not directly name the granary at that time, but named the granary as "realization".

It's just that the word 'realization' is too straightforward, so the word 'utilization' has been changed.

The money from the granary can be used not only to build roads, but also to build walls and various public facilities such as houses, which have fallen into disrepair.

After Liu Sheng finished speaking in one breath, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were already stunned.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not only stunned, but also panicked.

It's at this very moment

Liu Sheng just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed:

"Your Majesty!".

"A section of the Great Wall of Yanmen Pass is a rammed earth city wall built by the Tang Dynasty in the past, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time!"

"Now it's a brand new look, and the exterior walls are all made of stone and brick!"

"All of this is due to the 'use of the granary'!"

Immediately after,

Xu Da and Lan Yu and other generals also had wet red eyes.

There is no other reason

Because Ye Qing is a civil official, he has the heart of a military general.

He Ye Qing is the benefactor of these martial artists, and the benefactor of thousands of Ming soldiers!

Xu Da took the lead in bowing: "Please also ask Your Majesty to uphold justice for Lord Ye!"

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yu, Chang Mao and the others all bowed: "Please also ask Your Majesty to uphold justice for Lord Ye!!".

Seeing this, Zhu Biao added comprehensively: "Please also ask Your Majesty,"

he said

"Uphold justice for Lord Ye, and also uphold justice for all officials in Taiyuan Mansion!!".

Looking at these 'forced palace' people, Zhu Yuanzhang's whole person was numb......
