"So, I wonder if I ask Censor Liu, how many of the 13 supervisors of the Censorate are in Beijing and how many are there outside? How long are there in Beijing? Or are there outside for a long time?"

He pointed at Deng Zhen, and Yang Shaofeng continued, "How many of the ten things that Censor Deng said were seen in Beijing and how many of them were seen outside? Why can Censor Deng see it, but the remaining 109 Censors turn a blind eye?"

Deng Zhen, who was still watching Yang Shaofeng just now, turned his head and counted the nails on the hall door.

Liu Guan was almost forced into a dead end.

"Why did Emperor Taizu Gao set up the Censorate? He just hoped that the Censor would go out and take a look at the place, and come back with all the pros and cons of the military and civilians. In other words, the Censor is the emperor's eyes and ears."

Yang Shaofeng did not give Liu Guan any face, and even brought out Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang, just like Liu Guan had just thrown out one-on-three, and Yang Shaofeng turned around and took four twos with two kings.

"It is the responsibility of the censors who are the people who speak for the people. But now look at you, how many of them are speaking for the people? Zheng Jingshi, you are the censors of Shandong Dao Supervisor, right?"

Zheng Yan didn't know why Yang Shaofeng suddenly pointed his finger at him, so he had no choice but to nod.

Yang Shaofeng said: "How many places are there in Shandong? How many places are there in waterlogged? How many years have it been? How many years have it been? How many people in Shandong? What are the people living nowadays?"

Zheng Yan was stunned.

Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shandong has been the most fiercely contested area between the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Army. Even in the late Hongwu Dynasty, the resettlement of refugees and the restoration of production have still caused headaches for the tycoons in the court.

When Zhu Laosi started a war and restored the crisis, Shandong, which had not recovered, suffered another military disaster. Now it is the drought this year and the flood next year. After eating, there is no meal.

Even when the hungry people in Shandong needed relief, many places had no grain storage, and had to "storage the government of nearby military guards."

What's even more fucking is that Zheng Yan is indeed the censor of Shandong Daoist Censor, but Zheng Yan was promoted to the capital by the local government. He has just taken over as the censor of Shandong Daoist Censor for a few months and has not yet figured out the situation in Shandong. What he knows is only these superficial things. How can he answer this?

Yang Shaofeng looked at Zheng Yan who was speechless and laughed: "Don't you know? That official will tell you that until the 16th year of Yongle, not including military origin, there were 6.5 million Dingkou in Shandong, which was in trouble, merchants were blocked, and devastated."

As soon as Yang Shaofeng finished speaking, Xia Yuanji coughed, and Zhu Laosi's face turned dark.

However, although Zhu Laosi had a dark face, he still said nothing, but just silently wrote another note for Yang Shaofeng.

"It's nonsense!" Zheng Yan pointed at Yang Shaofeng and shouted: "Although Shandong is in trouble, it's not as good as you said!"

Yang Shaofeng looked indifferent: "Then have you seen it in Shandong?

If you went to Shandong for a walk at the beginning of your term, how could you not know what was going on in Shandong?

You, the Shandong Censor, don’t go to Shandong for a walk, but instead stare at me. Now you use the words "nonsense" to refute me. What about your face? Did you forget at home when you went out?"

After Yang Shaofeng's voice fell, not only Zheng Yan and Liu Guan were dark, but even Zhu Laosi's face was extremely gloomy.

However, in Liu Guan and Zheng Yan's opinion, the emperor's face was not good-looking, and it was probably because he was heading for Yang Shaofeng.

But in fact, Zhu Laosi's face looked ugly because Zheng Yan, the Shandong Censor, didn't know what was going on in Shandong.

In fact, the situation in Shandong is much more than just the word "difficult" - Tang Sai'er called himself Buddha's mother and rebelled!

It just so happened that the news about the Jinyiwei was faster than that of the local government. Zheng Yan, the Shandong Censor, also impeached Yang Shaofeng in the capital, and had no idea what was going on in Shandong.

The censor in charge of Shandong Road did not know what was going on in Shandong, but instead stayed in the capital to impeach a hero who had just earned 700 million taels of silver for the treasury from overseas...

Zhu Laosi's gloomy face made the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.

After a long time, Zhu Laosi said, "Retreat the court."

Yang Shaofeng bowed to Zhu Laosi with other ministers and watched Zhu Laosi leave Fengtian Hall. The rest of Zheng Yan, who was kneeling in the hall, collapsed on the ground like a fool.

Xu Jingchang walked over from the nobles' team, signaled to the door of the hall, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go drink at Zuixianlou? I'll give you money this time!"

Xue Bin and others who came with Xu Jingchang suddenly burst into laughter, without any intention of concealing them - you, Zheng Yan, just said that the top scholar bullied the businessman, and you would give the money if you go again today.

Liu Guan said with a gloomy face: "Young people should not be too arrogant. If you have to forgive others, please forgive me!"

Yang Shaofeng laughed, stared at Liu Guan tightly, and said word by word: "If you are not arrogant, are you still called a young man!"

Xia Yuanji, who was about to leave the palace, came over, patted Yang Shaofeng on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "The 1st Yuan Gong is in Japan for a few months, hurry up and go home and have a good rest."

Zhang Fu also came over and said, "Let's go to your farm. The wine and food in Zuixianlou are still not as good as yours."

Yang Shaofeng nodded with a smile, reached out and pointed his hand out, and said to Xia Yuanji: "Let's go together with Xiabutang, let's go to the village to have some drinks."

However, before Yang Shaofeng and others walked out of Fengtian Palace, they were stopped by the breathless Wuxin: "Zhuangyuan Gong stayed!"

Yang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Let's go, let's have a drink together?"

Wuxin shook his head and said, "I still drink? I can't drink anymore. The emperor has already gone to Wenhua Palace. The emperor ordered our family to tie the top scholar to the emperor, and by the way, he would also invite Xiabutang, the British Duke and Ding Guo Duke to go there together."

Yang Shaofeng was stunned: "What? Tie it over?"

Wu Xin nodded, waved to the little eunuch behind him, and said to Yang Shaofeng: "I offended you, don't blame us, don't blame us."

It was not until several eunuchs tied up Yang Shaofeng in big flowers and carried Yang Shaofeng with a piece of wood to lift Yang Shaofeng up. Yang Shaofeng, who was still very calm just now, was shocked and angry, and scolded Wuxin: "Dog Wuxin! Are you tying people or pigs?"

Wuxin smiled and said, "Don't be upset by the top scholar, this is also the emperor's order. Don't bother with a dead eunuch in our family."

He signaled several eunuchs to carry Yang Shaofeng away. Wuxin stopped Xia Yuanji and Zhang Fu who were watching the fun next to him, and signaled that the two, Xu Jingchang and others to follow him to Wenhua Palace.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, as well as a group of noble royal families and even foreign envoys, saw a good show. The six top scholars were tied up like a pig, and then carried them to Wenhua Palace like carrying a pig.

After walking all the way, Yang Shaofeng scolded him all the way. Wuxin was not angry, but just walked in front with a smile.

Xia Yuanji whispered to Zhang Fu: "You are cruel. Yang Hanlin is the first one to scold you like this."

Zhang Fu shook his head and said, "It's different, it's different. Don't look at him scolding the dead eunuch at once, but Wuxin and the others don't take it seriously. If we were to change us, this way of scolding..."

Xia Yuanji changed the subject and said, "I don't know what your Majesty is asking us for, and I still have to bring Yang Hanlin with me?"

Zhang Fu said: "It's probably something from Shandong. Haven't you read the urgent report yesterday?"

Xia Yuanji nodded, his face a little bad: "Damn it, what's wrong with that broken place in Shandong? He can't survive without the taxes on the people. He's just a ghost!"

Xu Jingchang came up and whispered: "If you want me to say, this person who pays taxes in the people should not be exempted! Not only should the normal ones not be exempted, but even during the disaster year, it cannot be exempted!"

Xia Yuanji glared at Xu Jingchang and said angrily: "What you are talking about is still humane?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Xiamen Hall also went to provide relief to the disaster. Don't you know what kind of birds the officials and gentry are?

If Your Majesty did not exempt the people's taxes, then these taxes were collected into the national treasury. Whether they could collect them or not, they had nothing to do with them anyway, so it didn't matter.

But now His Majesty has exempted all the taxes on the people, which means that they can charge more rent. If the tenants dare to rely on them, it is not His Majesty's business. This is their money. Can they easily put down such a large piece of fat meat?"

He laughed, and Xu Jingchang's face was a little unnatural: "If the priest master had not taken us to make a fortune, we would have definitely increased the rent by 10% or 20%."

Xia Yuanji's hand stroking his beard unconsciously used a little more force and almost pulled his beard down: "Is this human word? Your Majesty exempts people from taxes, so you have to increase 10% or 20%? Are you not afraid of forcing the people to rebel?"

"It's obvious that the people have begun to rebel." Xu Jingchang, who had decided to reduce the rent after going out to sea with Yang Shaofeng, was not panicked at all, and did not feel guilty about selling his teammates: "Those landlords have no vision and just stare at the acre of three-point land. What His Majesty doesn't like, they look at it, what His Majesty doesn't want, they want it.

If this is expected, this is the case in Shandong. The people are forced to survive, otherwise the people would not have used the banner of anti-corruption officials or against His Majesty."

"That's also a rebellion!"

Zhang Fu said firmly: "No matter what, if they rebel, they are rebelling. What you and I should consider now is not why they rebel, but how to quell the turmoil!"
