The words come to the ground!

The audience was silent again!

Lao Li, Lao Liu and Lao Wu looked at each other, thinking about something.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.

Only Zhu Di, Lan Yu and Chang Mao looked at each other's face with question marks.

Do you understand?

What did Mr. Fang say?

Seeing that the other party was also questioning, they looked at the rest of the people again.

"Uncle, what did Mr. Fang say?"

Chang Mao couldn't help it first and looked at his uncle, the person he admired the most, and asked.

I heard Chang Mao ask himself such a profound question.

Lan Yu didn't even think about it and only replied with one word.

"roll!"

You kid really have no eyesight!

If I knew that I still had to dress deeply and play silence would be golden?

You kid ask me at this time, how can I answer you?

If I tell the truth, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Almost the moment Lan Yu's words fell, Zhu Di also looked at his boss Zhu Biao.

"My benefactor, forgive me for being shallow, I hope my benefactor will resolve my doubts."

Before Zhu Di could speak, Zhu Biao quickly looked at Fang Shiyu and couldn't help asking.

When Lao Liu, Lao Li and Lao Wu saw Zhu Biao ask first, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

fine!

Your Highness the Crown Prince asked first!

We are so old and still in this position. Apart from pretending to be deep and silent, we really can't help but ask!

Fang Shiyu slowly looked at the expressions of the group of people. It was obvious that no one knew the meaning of his words.

He simply stood up and walked to the wall.

Wu Yuannian followed closely and handed over the pen with a tactful hand.

"The reason why I say it is right is that the amount of embezzlement is just from the books, the number is correct."

"But this does not mean that such a huge amount of food and grass is really fed by these people."

While explaining, Fang Shiyu wrote down the number 24 million on the wall, and then drew a circle and a question mark outside the circle.

The more I look at it, the more I look like a teacher.

"Why did my benefactor say this?"

Zhu Biao was still the first to ask questions. While asking, he took out his small notebook and was ready to take notes at any time.

“It’s very simple.”

"Our Ming Jinyiwei carries out four horses, not to mention the number of part-time prosecutors and school jailers."

"In addition to the explicit provisions of the "Da Ming Edict", the people can take officials, especially corrupt officials, and no one can stop them."

"How could such a huge amount of embezzlement occur under these strict policies and surveillance?"

"Even if Guo Huan is the chief corruption offender and the whole family is corrupt, how many people are there in their family?"

"Even if these foods and grass are ten generations, I'm afraid I can't finish them!"

"There is no need for them to do so much!"

Fang Shiyu did not explain directly, but asked in reverse.

"That's right, Mr. Fang, then why do you think this is?"

At this time, even Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

Who doesn’t know that in the entire Ming Dynasty, I have always been cut off and done with corrupt officials?

What's more, I have installed so many eyeliners in the court!

Even the people of Liming are my eyeliner!

Not to mention tens of millions, even if you are greedy for dozens of people, you will be discovered immediately.

"Old Zhu, this is actually not a problem. It is mainly caused by the inconsistent unit of measurement used during statistics."

Fang Shiyu said while writing four big words "Unit of Measuring" on the wall.

"Boy Fang, what is a unit of measurement?"

After Fang Shiyu finished writing, Liu Bowen couldn't help asking.

Why!

It is reasonable and not unfair to give up the title of the number one think tank in the Ming Dynasty!

This kid, he will give you all new words from time to time. Who can withstand this?

"Units of measurement refer to scalars defined and adopted according to the convention. Any other similar quantity can be compared to it so that the ratio of two quantities is represented by a number. The unit of measurement has the name and symbol assigned according to the convention."

"Units of measurement refer to a specific quantity that is agreed upon and used to quantify the magnitude of the same quantity."

"All kinds of physical quantities have their units of measurement, and the quantity displayed by the selected substances in the specified conditions is used as the standard for the basic unit of measurement. In different periods and different disciplines, the choice of basic quantities can be different."

"The specific point is that for example, the unit of measurement for distance is used as a mileage, the unit of measurement for weight is used as a kilogram, the unit of measurement for horses is used as a horse, the unit of measurement for dogs is used as a bar, and so on."

"This is the so-called quantifier, jin, pi, and twelve."

Fang Shiyuzai explained carefully.

"But what does this have to do with Guo Huan's corruption case?"

Although Wu Lin understood, she couldn't help but ask.

These two things seem to be okay at all. I'm afraid this kid is fooling us, right?

"It doesn't matter?"

"This is a big deal!"

"It is because our Ming Dynasty has no unified unit of measurement in terms of wealth that such a big problem occurs."

Fang Shiyu sighed.

During the Hongwu period, heavy metals were extremely scarce, so in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the use of silver as a measure of wealth was not feasible at all.

Although the copper coins circulated among the people are limited to transactions with smaller amounts.

Once huge transactions are involved, or astronomical amounts such as national taxation, it will be even worse.

The original Daming Baochao can be used. Unfortunately, Emperor Hongwu was a peasant and had great other abilities, but this economics really knows nothing and was published in large quantities, resulting in a flood of market value, and its market value was extremely unstable.

Not to mention the people, even the government is unwilling to use this thing as a unit of measurement.

In the end, I really had no choice but to find out that I could only use grain as a unit of measurement.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and no one can avoid the hurdle of food.

Therefore, only the value of food is the most stable.

Therefore, no matter what the Ming Dynasty tax was collected, it would eventually be converted into as much stone grain as a unit of measurement.

Even the salaries of officials are paid as units of measurement based on grain.

"What's wrong with this?"

"Is it enough to remember clearly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with dissatisfaction.

This little bastard did it on purpose!

Every now and then, I have to take out the indiscriminate distribution of treasure money and arrange it!

You little bastard, I really think I dare not beat you up!

When my corn is harvested, it will be clear whether you will still be able to tell me about the treasure money!

Zhu Di also deserves a beating!

I told you to get out of Beijing to grow corn!

You must not listen!

Now, I won’t die by being assassinated by the remnants of the Ming Cult!
