"Ah... Lord Xiao, I made an unforgivable mistake for a moment, and it is not a pity to behead him. However, the food and grass he greedy over the years have been squandered by Wang Qiang, Hu Sanshe, Li Lianzhi and others. The silver that I moved every month is only four hundred taels. Moreover, over the years, I felt deeply guilty. Although I made a big mistake, I did not do anything that hurt the heavens. Although I had deducted the food and grass of soldiers, I also used the convenience door to collect the food and grass of soldiers, and never had any tiny damage to the soldiers?"

Xiao Yun didn't understand for a moment, and Lan Yu, who was standing beside him, hurried forward and said, "Sir, Wu Baihu is also responsible for collecting land rent and taxes from the soldiers' homes?"

Xiao Yun was slightly stunned and thought to himself: "I can't see that although this person is a small household, he has a lot of powers in charge?" After Lan Yu said this, Xiao Yun immediately understood that Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yingtian Queen and was in the early stage of "storing grain", so he attached great importance to land rent and taxes, and stipulated that land taxes were divided into summer and collected in autumn. The summer tax was called summer tax, which was limited to paying in July of that year; the autumn was called autumn grain, which was limited to paying in November of that year. The summer tax, and the autumn grain was mainly wheat and rice, which was called "native se". In addition to wheat rice, agricultural and mulberry silk, cotton velvet, silk,

Silk, ramie, linen and other items are collected according to the situation in various places, called "severe". However, in this way, in summer and autumn, too many food and grass are handed over in autumn, and many places are on the edge. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that land taxes can be used to exchange money, money, gold, silver, etc., but the proportion of land taxes in currency is very small. In this way, if the people in Yingtian want to pay land taxes, they must transport the grain and sell it and exchange it into silver before they can pay taxes. There is already losses in the middle. In addition, some people who are greedy for the troubles are interfering, it is good that they can take back 60% of the food and grass.

After Wu Renjie was in charge of the land tax of the soldiers in the Yingtian Zuoshao Army, he stipulated that every summer and autumn harvest, he would actively send soldiers in the army to pull trucks, carry scale rods, and weighing them to buy them. Although they made a lot of profits from it, they felt guilty, so the price of the purchased grain and grass was slightly higher than that of other military camps. In this way, including the tariffs along the way and the losses caused by corrupt officials to make jokes, the profits from the families of these soldiers were much more than those sent to Yingtian Ministry of Revenue by themselves, so the talents of these soldiers' families would be sold to Wu Renjie, so Wu Renjie also had many supporters in the army.

After hearing Wu Renjie say, Xiao Yun turned his eyes to Lan Yu and looked at him. Seeing Lan Yu nodding, his frown also relaxed slightly, and said to himself: "This person can give benefits to the people, which shows that this person is not too bad. Although he can grasp their handle, there is no evidence. If he really told Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter, he would not be able to do so without evidence. In this way, Wang Qiang and others will be anxious and frightened. He is weak, which will be detrimental to him. At present, he can only temporarily suppress this matter, and when he finds all the evidence of the crime, he will capture such a bold and reckless person in one fell swoop. At present, this person is still worthy of it and wants to win over this person. With his help, I expect that Wang Qiang's evidence will not be revealed in a long time!"

Seeing Xiao Yun's frowning brows relaxed, Wu Renjie saw it and was overjoyed. He quickly knelt on the ground again, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army. As a food and grass officer, it is common for him to deduct some food and grass from the soldiers. Humiliation is just a forced act. He has never had the slightest greed. I hope the Lord will be kind to save Humiliation!"

Xiao Yun was also difficult to make a decision for a while. It was reasonable to say that what Wu Renjie said was. Since ancient times, there have been cases of deducting military food and grass in the army. Unless Zhu Yuanzhang personally distributed the food and grass of soldiers, who can guarantee that the officials below will not deduct it? Although Wu Renjie was deducted, he was still a little conscience and was not too greedy. If he really got rid of him, he might not be honest than him. If he got a more greedy person, wouldn’t his actions be more hateful than Wu Renjie?

Although he understood the truth, Xiao Yun was still unable to make up his mind when he remembered the methods that Zhu Yuanzhang had spread in later generations. He didn't know what to do about the things in front of him. Lan Yu, who was beside him, seemed to have seen Xiao Yun's difficulties. At this moment, he was absolutely loyal to Xiao Yun. His eyes turned and he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, look at Master Wu's sincere repentance. He has done a lot of good things for the people over the years. Today's lord loves people as much as his son. Even if he learns about Master today's decision, he will understand him. Just Lord Wu can help him get rid of the corruption and bullies in the army and give justice to the soldiers in the army. I believe that with the lord's broad mind, he will also bypass Lord Wu?"

After Lan Yu's words, Xiao Yun immediately understood Lan Yu's intention. At present, Wu Renjie was just a small shrimp in such a corrupt state. Even if he caught him today, it would not be of much use to Zhu Yuanzhang to Xiao Yun himself. He was just like stepping on an ant to death. If he could win over Wu Renjie at the moment, it would be equivalent to putting his own eyeliner among these corrupt states. It would be much faster to collect evidence of the crime than to touch the blind man. As long as the back of these corrupt states was found, even if Zhu Yuanzhang blamed him, he could use this high-sounding reason to make excuses!

Xiao Yun thought about it, then suddenly turned around, and two fierce lights in his eyes stared at Wu Renjie and said, "Mr. Wu, I am willing to protect you for today's business, but you must cooperate with me to find out such corrupt people in the army to make up for the mistakes you have made. The lord is a talented and stubborn person. I think about your contributions in the future. I believe that bypassing your life is no problem! I wonder what Mr. Wu wants to do?"

Wu Renjie heard that Xiao Yun was interested in recruiting him, so he couldn't help but sigh and kowtowed, "Sir, please rest assured, your life is a blessing, and you will never forget your humble position. Just relying on your instructions, your humble position will do your best to serve you!"

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "This is the best!" After a pause, he said, "Now Wang Qiang and others are bold and unwilling to collect grain and grass for wine. They dare to openly disobey the lord's order to accumulate grain. Fortunately, Lord Wu abandoned the secret and turned to the light. With Lord Wu's help, I will definitely be able to bring such bold and arbitrary behavior to justice!"
