    "Are you aware of your mistake?"

    Emperor Hongzhi glared angrily.

    Because of Liu Jin's tax reform, the national treasury was full, so the imperial court also allocated a large amount of money to various places. These funds were mainly used to build reservoirs, river lifts, dredge waterways, build bridges and pave roads, etc., which can be regarded as confirmation of Liu Jin's  As Jin said, taxes are taken from the people and used by the people.

    Jiangxi is an important province in the south. At the same time, Poyang Lake in the north is connected to the Yangtze River and is connected by water. The imperial court also allocated a large amount of money to build reservoirs, river lifts, and dredge river channels in Jiangxi, not only to prevent floods, but also to  It is also to promote the development of Jiangxi.

    But who knew that when the imperial court rained heavily on the Jiangxi side, it all went into Zhang Tianyu's pocket, and when it got down there, not even a drizzle fell.

    You can imagine how angry Emperor Hongzhi was.

    In fact, Emperor Hongzhi had known about this for a long time. The factory guards were extremely powerful and they naturally monitored the feudal officials in various places. However, Emperor Hongzhi did not deal with Zhang Tianyu in advance, but left it until now.

    "Come here, Zhang Tianyu will be immediately removed from his position as governor of Jiangxi, his title will be removed, he will be demoted to a commoner, and he will be thrown into a sky prison. The Ministry of Punishment will be responsible for hearing the matter."

    Emperor Hongzhi gave the order coldly.

    He actually dared to embezzle 800,000 taels of silver out of one million taels. Forget about being a corrupt official. This Jiangxi province under the leadership of Zhang Tianyu has shown no improvement and is not good in all aspects. He doesn¡¯t even know how much tax money he paid to the court in a year.  , what is the use of such an official?

    "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me~"

    When Zhang Tianyu heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground and started wailing.

    However, no matter how he wailed, it had no effect at all. Soon someone came forward and dragged him down like a pig to death.

    When the surrounding ministers looked at it, they all fell silent.

    "Of course there are corrupt officials, and there are quite a lot of them.

    Now that the imperial court has allocated money to various places, many feudal officials are more or less corrupt, but there are very few people like Zhang Tianyu who are so bold that almost everything goes into his own pocket.

    But corruption is corruption, and Zhang Tianyu¡¯s fate lies here. As long as this matter is found out, Zhang Tianyu will definitely be executed by Qiu Hou. If it were placed in the Hongwu Dynasty, let alone 800,000 taels of silver, it would be 80 taels.  Silver, it all needs to be peeled off.

    "Lu Zongxue, the governor of southern Jiangxi, came forward to report on his duties!"

    Xiao Jing's voice sounded again, and Lu Zongxue came to the dragon steps tremblingly. He and Zhang Tianyu came together, and he was trembling when he saw Zhang Tianyu's fate.

    Fortunately, he has nothing to be greedy for. The duty of the governor of southern Jiangxi is to eliminate bandits and bandits in southern Jiangxi. He is not responsible for local government affairs. The money allocated by the court is not under his control or in his hands.

    "In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, I organized a total of seven bandit suppressions and killed more than 300 bandits"

    But when talking about his main contribution, Lu Zongxue also stammered.

    Because he has done absolutely nothing in the position of governor of southern Ganxi. He and Ye Xian are the same type of officials who believe in ruling by doing nothing. When he became the governor of southern Ganxi, he knew that his main responsibility was to exterminate the bandits in southern Jiangxi.  and bandits, but he still did nothing.

    It¡¯s just that every time a major case occurs, people will be sent to investigate and symbolically attack some bandits in the southern Gansu area. However, it has no substantive effect. On the contrary, it makes the bandits in the southern Ganxi area more and more rampant.

    "You suppressed bandits seven times a year and killed more than 300 bandits?"

    When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately asked.

    ¡°As far as I know, there have been a total of 79 major cases of robbing passing caravans in southern Jiangxi this year, and as for those small cases, they are countless.¡±

    ¡°Not only did they block roads and rob, the bandits in southern Jiangxi even openly threatened villages and towns in various places, demanding that villages and towns in various places must pay protection fees to these mountain kings.¡±

    "Not only the southern Gansu region, but also the bandits and bandits in Jiangxi have spread to Nanchang, Fuzhou and other places in the north of Jiangxi. As the governor of southern Ganxi, your main responsibility is to exterminate the bandits. However, it seems that you have not even visited Ganzhou City this year.  ?¡±

    "Is the banditry in southern Gansu already so serious?"

    "There is such a place in this peaceful and prosperous age?"

    When the surrounding ministers heard this, they all started talking in disbelief.

    Everyone has always thought that Daming's singing and dancing are rising and prosperous. This is a peace and peace in Daming. However, todayHowever, the inaction of officials and their idleness also led to the corruption of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor could only manage the ministers in the court, and the ministers in the court could only manage the capital, which extended to the entire Ming Dynasty.

    The emperor¡¯s imperial edict could not leave the capital, and the government¡¯s decrees were just a piece of paper when they arrived.

    This is why Emperor Hongzhi strongly supported Liu Jin¡¯s reform of officialdom, because Emperor Hongzhi felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

    There are really too many officials in the Ming Dynasty who do nothing and don't want to do anything. They also attack and exclude those who want to do things. You said that under such circumstances, even if the emperor wants to manage the country well,  It won't change anything at all.

    If Liu Jin hadn¡¯t reformed the tax system, nothing would have been done if the court had no money.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
