Zhu Xiongying shook his head,
said,
“Some corrupt officials are inherently greedy and greedy.
These corrupt officials have nothing to do with grandpa.
And such corrupt officials must be eradicated!
But those officials who have no choice but to be greedy,
But it was grandpa who forced me. "
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened,
What Zhu Xiongying said was completely beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding.
In Zhu Yuanzhang’s view,
Corrupt officials are corrupt officials, and honest officials are honest officials.
When an official is greedy for money,
It's because he is greedy by nature.
Why are there still officials who have to be greedy for money?
It seems like,
Who forced him to be greedy for money!
Is it possible that we forced them to be greedy for money? !
Zhu Yuanzhang looked unconvinced.
What the eldest grandson said was true.
but,
My eldest grandson is wrong about this matter!
Lao Zhu said nothing and became sulky.
Zhu Xiongying said with a smile,
"Grandpa, let's play a game."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked over and said,
"Playing games? What do you mean?"
After all the hard work, the eldest grandson still has the heart to play games?
Zhu Xiongying raised his finger,
“A what-if game.
Grandpa, you have forgotten all your identity now,
You are just a ninth-grade official who has recently joined the local government. "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this,
I couldn't help but say,
"Hey! This is interesting!"
Zhu Xiongying stretched out two more fingers,
“Grandpa, before you start assuming.
I'm going to add three conditions for you.
First,
You are just an ordinary ninth-grade official, without any power or background. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded,
"this is necessary."
Saying,
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The game played by the eldest grandson seemed to be different immediately.
Suddenly it became very real.
Zhu Xiongying nodded,
continued,
"Second, all your actual situations are aligned with the Hongwu Fifteenth Year.
That is to say,
Your salary, income, functions, affairs,
There is no difference from any ninth-grade official in the current local state capital. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously,
He already had a feeling of being substituted.
"third,
There are three people in your family.
you,
grandmother,
And dad.
Whatever you do, please put your family first.
If you are kicked out of the government, or do something drastic that results in jail time.
You have failed. "
Zhu Yuanzhang held his breath and seemed to understand something.
Seriously,
"let's start."
Zhu Xiongying began to say,
And provide Zhu Yuanzhang with a choice,
Lao Zhu made a choice.
The two of them just sat here using words and imagination,
The game begins.
.......
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes,
A small house, not a shabby one.
There is a wife named Ma in the family and a son named Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a Jinshi for thirteen years.
I was on the waiting list for two years.
He was then sent to Liping Prefecture in Guiyang to serve as an official.
This place was very poor, and Zhu Yuanzhang was only a ninth-grade official.
Zhu Yuanzhang received the appointment,
The family moved to Liping Prefecture, Guiyang.
Although this is just the beginning, it is also over.
because,
Zhu Yuanzhang had no power or background.
This is the end of the world in officialdom.
"Chongpachi, let's eat."
It is said to be rice, but it is just gruel.
Rice grains are floating in the porridge,
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pushed away his rice bowl.
"You two eat! We're not hungry!"
Zhu Biao raised his head and said nothing.
They have no land at home;
If Zhu Biao wants to make progress, he can only walk the same path as Zhu Yuanzhang.
Imperial examination.
Only by getting ahead in the imperial examination could Zhu Biao change his destiny.
but,
Even if he passes the exam this year, he will have to take the exam for three consecutive years before he has a chance to become an official.
This is still in the case of a one-time pass.
While Zhu Biao was preparing for the exam, he was unable to bring a penny of income to his family.
He could only put all his thoughts on reading,
In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang's monthly salary of 30 shi, the other source of income was Ma's needlework.
In fact, the salary of a ninth-grade official is fifty dan, but His Majesty’s rice notes are mixed with it.
The remaining banknotes are completely worthless.
So I can only live on these thirty kilograms of rice.
Thirty kilo is not a small amount,
But Zhu Yuanzhang’s family also had a lot of expenses.
Most of them were given to Zhu Biao for studying.
So in January I had to live frugally and live frugally.
"Hey, if we take office today, we will get our salary next month!
Biao'er, study hard.
No need to think about anything! "
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the house.
My stomach started growling.
Although I'm hungry,
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very excited.
I was on the waiting list for two years.
Finally took office today.
When Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the government office, he was not greeted by the crowds of people he imagined.
All the officials leaned weakly in the hall,
They don't play cards or talk,
Already hungry and detached.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked in with a frown, raised his characteristic loud voice and shouted,
"What's going on?! If some people come to sue the officials,
Is this what you look like? ! !
stand up! "
The planner of Liping Mansion rolled his eyes at the visitor.
"Who are you?
If you roar in court again, I'll arrest you first. "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became angry.
He stepped forward and lifted up the accounting book like a chicken.
roared,
"Who am I?
I am Zhu Yuanzhang! "
Ji Book slowly opened his eyes,
Then he exclaimed,
"Oh my god! It's the county magistrate!
Don't sleep! The big boss is here! ! ! "
The people scattered on the ground stood up one after another,
Not only that,
A large group of people rushed out from behind the official residence.
At least there must be more than twenty.
These are all the official configurations of Liping Mansion.
Three classes and six rooms.
They are all people who work for the county government.
Their salaries are paid by the local government.
Who are the local officials?
Zhu Yuanzhang.
A crowd of people came up crying and calling for mother.
"Master! You are here!"
The little ones are eagerly waiting for you!
The little ones haven’t eaten in three days! Just drink water every day!
Do you have to give this salary to the younger ones? ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned on the spot.
Looking at Ji Bo, he was so thin that he was almost out of shape.
I'm afraid what I said was not an exaggeration at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew,
These people's salaries are provided by the government.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said,
"Don't worry yet! Bring the government account books!"
Ji Book quickly took out a big torn notebook from his arms, with only a few thin pages.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it over, glanced at it twice and then finished it.
Surprised,
"That's all?!"
Ji Book nodded,
"Master, that's all!"
"How the hell is this possible?! Our government has no revenue at all?!"
Ji Book's face was filled with bitterness.
said,
"Master! What are you talking about?
That’s definitely not the case!
Our government is already poor, and we don’t have much food to hand over to the court.
There are still losses on the road,
We didn’t have much money left when we arrived in the capital.
How much more can we come back to the capital? !
Big sir, even the little ones wish there was a drought or flood in our land! "
The other officials nodded in unison.
Said in a flurry of words,
"It would be great if there is a disaster! The imperial court will come down to provide disaster relief funds!"
"Damn it, this place is so unlucky! There's not even a disaster!"
“Drought, flood, whatever comes, it doesn’t matter!
Natural disasters can be saved, but man-made disasters cannot be saved! "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the officials in front of him with shock.
What are they talking about? !
Are you still expecting a natural disaster? !
But when Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word of defense.
Liping Mansion has reached this point.
Apart from hoping for a natural disaster, there is really no other way!
Ji Book suddenly got excited and said,
"Don't worry, everyone!
Master Qingtian is here! The imperial salary has arrived! "
Ji Book's words instantly inspired everyone.
Everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eagerly,
Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head,
"We, we don't have any money either."
"What?!!"
"We don't have any money either."
Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head even more.
My heart is full of helplessness.
He understood,
Everything I thought about going out on my own was just a fantasy.
This monthly salary of thirty stones, let alone whether it can be paid on time,
Even if it is given to you, you won’t be able to take home a grain of rice.
This is already a given future.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly confused.
What’s the use of reading the books of sages for ten years? !
It is said that when you are an official, you will have land and salary...
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something,
He looked up suddenly,
"Where is the government's farmland?!"
Ji Bo has already figured out that Mr. Qingtian is actually a little bastard.
Otherwise, I can't be thrown here to become a county boss.
The tone was no longer respectful, and everyone dispersed to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Ji Book casually replied,
“The land is all barren and no one is planting.”
"Why don't you farm?! If you farm, you will make money!"
"Haha, we are so hungry that we have no strength to speak. How can we plant seeds?"
“But if you don’t farm, you won’t have food to eat!”
“How can we farm if we don’t eat?!”
