Slap sex...
The sound of abacus sounded continuously, and there were tables in the hall like a private school. An eunuch who was proficient in abacus was focused on looking at the books and fiddling with the abacus.
There were also many eunuchs in the hall, either carrying account books to each eunuch's table, or stacking the calculated results neatly.
"Everything is carefully, and it is not wrong at all. Each account book must be verified by three people and then submitted to the Ganqing Palace!"
"A little mistake is a head-cutting thing."
Wang Wu walked slowly and said a few words from time to time.
After saying that, Wang Wu seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at the little eunuch beside him and asked:
"How many places are there to be submitted?"
"There are still 182 counties that have not been submitted, so they should be still on the way..."
"If the garrisons in various places have gone for 800 miles, they have all arrived."
The little eunuch replied immediately.
"Um……"
Wang Wu nodded and then looked at the result of the mountainous audit.
"You guys, carry these and present them to Your Majesty with me."
With an order, several eunuchs immediately followed, took up the account book, and followed Wang Wuchao Ganqing Palace.
...
"Your Majesty, some results have been audited."
After arriving at the Ganqing Palace, Wang Wu immediately ran to the emperor and spoke respectfully.
The emperor glanced at the account books: "Have the audit results of garrisons in various places come out?"
"There are some of them out, that's all."
Wang Wu replied immediately.
"Take it all over!"
The emperor nodded, and Wang Wu immediately directed the eunuch beside him to put a stack of account books on the table.
The emperor picked up a book of accounts and frowned for a moment.
The so-called audit is naturally not just a simple calculation of the total number of population and land reported by various places.
The foundation of reform lies in land and population.
The land inventory and population inventory in the previous Ming Dynasty were already useless.
Just like the Ministry of Revenue's Yellow Book of Land Population, from the 32nd year of Wanli to the 4th year of Chongzhen, many thorough investigations have been conducted over the years.
The number of land population has not changed much. In many places, the yellow land book reported by the household registration has not changed at all for many years, and even the single digits have not changed!
It is obvious that the population and land inventory in the previous Ming Dynasty had already been completely corrupt.
It is conceivable what kind of scenario will happen when a country, and a country dominated by agriculture, has lost statistics on its own country's land and population.
The first thing he needs to do in this reform is naturally to investigate the land and population in the world.
There is no doubt that even if there is no follow-up reform policy, just investigating the population and land will inevitably infringe on the interests of many people.
Of course, nowadays, no one dares to resist openly.
But in secret, there are so many places where you can do things.
After all, there are nearly a thousand counties in Daheng now, and each county is basically a stern gentry and a county magistrate.
Let each county investigate, that is, let the gentry of each county investigate themselves, not to say it is completely perfunctory, or just hide it casually, nearly a thousand counties are all a huge number.
It was precisely to avoid this that he created such a large formation.
The biggest reason for the tax case was to be involved in arbitrarily, which was to crack down on gentry and landlords!
Nowadays, whether it is the twelve inspection teams or the Jinyiwei, you can either let the inner court completely extend his hands to the world, or make public it to the whole world, and reward the whistleblower!
It is also to avoid collusion and concealment and miss reports!
The hundreds of people in the palace were auditing day and night for this purpose.
The land household registration book of the previous Ming Dynasty was naturally not sufficient for reference.
But over the years, he has not been prepared at all.
For example, when the military reforms turned a large number of garrisons from inaction to real garrisons. These lands, including the wastelands reclaimed by garrisons in various places over the years, were recorded in the book and were also backed up in the palace.
There are also major cases over the years, land confiscations and distributions, and the attacks on the former Ming royal family, all of which were re-registered.
In addition, the major border towns that integrate military and political affairs have begun to investigate population and land early in recent years under his will. This is also the most important reason why the taxes paid by these governments every year can far exceed the taxes paid by the court.
The Jinyiwei also needs years of open and secret investigations to investigate the land of the landlords and gentry families in all parts of the world.
With these huge data as support, it is enough to calculate a rough figure of the population of the world's land acres. In addition, he ordered that every seven days, localities must summarize and submit the inventory books, which can also be used as a certain data support.
In the end, if the gap is not big compared with the population and land figures summarized by various places, and the multi-pronged supervision has not found any problems, it means that even if there is concealment, it will definitely be in a very small range and there is no big problem.
But if the numbers are too different after summary and comparison, there must be problems. At that time, someone will be sent to inspect in a targeted manner. If there is any problem or what the problem is, you will know clearly.
And the account book in front of me was obviously something was wrong.
Ningzhou Wei, Jingwu in the former Ming Dynasty, was reorganized in one year and reclaimed 9,865 acres of occupied fields.
In the second year of Jingwu, the year of Zhaowu, 925 acres of wasteland were opened and 10,865 acres of land were received from the former Ming royal family.
In March of the second year of Zhaowu, Ningzhou suffered a severe drought and the people were displaced. Ningzhou Prefecture was responsible for resettlement of refugees. Ningzhou Wei allocated 13,526 acres of land to build Anning Town on the spot to resettle refugees.
This time, the population of Anning Town increased by more than 1,000, and the land figure not only did not increase, but it was still more than 2,000 acres less than the number of land assigned by Ningzhou Wei.
What's wrong with this is obvious.
"Go and check!"
The emperor threw this memorial to Wang Wu, and after he said two words coldly, he picked up another account book.
"I'll go now!"
Wang Wu retreated respectfully, and the emperor was still focused on reading these mountainous books.
Daheng has 968 counties, 272 guards, and 109.
All are the fields and populations that are related to the fundamentals of the country.
Under the bureaucratic system of this era, no matter how strict the inspection is, it is impossible to achieve perfection.
The emperor naturally knew about these things, and even he could imagine that under his high-pressure policy, the gentry and landlords with a large number of fields in various places had definitely become fat in the eyes of many people, whether they were good or evil.
And I also eat fat meat that will not have any side effects.
Just like the memorial in his hand, the three landlords of He, Chang and Hou in Xinning County concealed and missed reports, hindered the reform strategy, and violated the will of the holy people...
Everything seems to be conclusive and there is no loophole.
He took the blame and searched his house and sent him to his exile.
Perhaps all the landlords of these three families were wronged.
But that's the general trend!
Under the general trend of reform, there will always be victims of the times.
No matter how good the policy is, there will always be injustice.
The great injustice and the great injustice are not worth mentioning in the overall situation!
He, the emperor, has no choice!
Chapter completed!
