Zhang Hao was indeed a little worried. This time, King Lu did not successfully rebel, so many officials had no reason to catch him. There must be arrested fish. Of course, if you want to investigate strictly, it is definitely OK. Zhang Hao can also check the accounts.

However, this was a waste of time. Zhang Hao wanted to return to the capital early, but if he did not investigate and deal with the corrupt officials, Zhang Hao was worried that he would cause trouble for him.

Then, the food here was ready. Zhang Hao, King Yu and the Thousand Houses, Chen Lian and others sat here for dinner, discussing the situation this time.

"I thought about it. All the officials in Shandong need to go through it and check the accounts. Since they are here, they will be completely cleaned up and give the people of Shandong a bright world.

In addition, early tomorrow morning, I will write a memorial and ask His Majesty to send officials from the Ministry of Personnel, officials from the Ministry of Justice, officials from Dali Temple, and officials from the Ministry of Revenue to come to Shandong to start cleaning up the officials from Shandong. Next, the Jinyiwei will investigate all the officials, from the bottom of the river to the king of Lu, everyone must check it.

Although it took a long time, it was a good thing for the court and the people of Shandong, so you worked harder during this period!" Zhang Hao said to them.

"Yes, sir, don't work hard!" Chen Lian and the others immediately said with a smile.

"Well, it's time for the people of Shandong to live a good life. Look at the people outside, although they are better than those in Shaanxi, they are far inferior to those outside the capital.

In addition, I looked at the farmland controlled by the court here and found that it was less than 2 million acres. In terms of registration, the people in Shandong had more than 10 million, which was far from enough. Of course, there were many people who were not registered. These people were also from my Ming Dynasty, and they had to be assigned to Yongyetian!" Zhang Hao sat there and spoke.

"Yes!" the people nodded.

After dinner, Zhang Hao asked King Yu to rest. After all, he was really tired after traveling for so long, and Zhang Hao felt a little tired, but Zhang Hao still needed to read the information. As long as he finished reading it, Zhang Hao would go to bed with confidence.

Early the next morning, after Zhang Hao woke up, he finished breakfast with King Yu first, and then took King Yu to stroll around the south for a while, to see the people here and listen to the voices of the people.

"This time, King Lu and the others will definitely be finished. Not to mention King Lu, even those officials will probably be finished. This time, Mr. Lu An came here. I heard that King Yu has also come, just to deal with them. The emperor is wise and knows that there are too many corrupt officials in our Shandong. I sent someone to investigate!"

"Be careful of your words, be careful of your words. If someone hears it, you will be troublesome!"

"What are you afraid of? Now the homes of those officials are controlled by the Jinyiwei. They can't get out if they want to get out. I heard that they can only go in and not come out!"

"That's right, you're not afraid. Your Majesty wants to deal with those officials. I heard from the merchant that the King of Qin was arrested in Shaanxi. The people of Shaanxi set off firecrackers all the way. I heard that it was also a case of Lu Anhou's handling!"

The people sat in the teahouse to discuss this matter, while Zhang Hao took King Yu and a few guards to sit here to drink tea. Listening to the news here, after drinking tea, Zhang Hao took King Yu to the market to see.

"A market can best reflect the living conditions of the people in a place. If the living standards are high, then there will be more people and abundant supplies in the market. If the level is not high, then there will be few people and not many supplies. The people cannot afford it!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.

"Well," King Yu nodded, looking at the few people in the market!

"Uncle, why are there few people in this market?" Zhang Hao entered a shop and asked an old man inside.

"What are you?" the old man looked at Zhang Hao and the others and asked.

"I just want to do some business in Shandong. I just come and take a look. I thought that Shandong has a large population, why are there such a small number of people?" Zhang Hao asked at the old man.

"The people are poor, so how can they have money to buy anything? Look at my small shop, which is all things that we need every day. The taxes in Shandong are high!" the old man said with a wry smile.

"The tax revenue is high, this is not right. Isn't it tax exemption? Oh, yes, the businessman's tax revenue is still there, but it's reduced by half!" Zhang Hao asked the old man.

"How can I cut it in half? Besides, those people have no agricultural taxes, but there are still other taxes! For example, you have to pay taxes when killing chickens, and you have to pay taxes when selling cattle. How much money can ordinary people have to pay taxes?" the old man continued to complain.

"There are such taxes?" Zhang Hao looked at the old man in surprise and asked.

"Yes, every place is different anyway!" The old man said, Zhang Hao nodded, thinking in his heart that it seemed that he really needed to investigate the local officials.

"Why are the above regulations? They still dare to accept it?" King Yu asked in surprise.

"There are no regulations above, we don't know, but those officials are not as good as they want to take them!" the old man said with a smile.

"Well, okay, uncle, let's take a look!" Zhang Hao said to the old man with a smile, and he continued to watch.

King Yu said to Zhang Hao in confusion: "Will the Censors ignore the taxes they collect like this?"

"What if the censors can also get the money? How can they care? Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. What did they do? As long as no one steals it, who knows?

The censors from all over the country are sometimes bribed by those people. How do you think the superiors know? So, governing the world is governing people, and those below will deceive their subordinates and hide them from them. Otherwise, your Majesty can worry about the affairs of the world so much?" Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at King Yu.

"It's too much? Is there no way?" Prince Yu was so angry that he felt that he had been deceived. He had seen memorials from Shandong before, but he did not find such a problem.

"Yes, every year, I send an investigation team to you, and your Majesty will be directly under you. Every year, you will randomly check wherever you go, so that those officials will be afraid. Of course, the key is to look at Your Majesty, including the emperor in the future.

If the emperor in the future does not have the intention to investigate corrupt officials, then nothing will be useful. If there is a determination to investigate corrupt officials, the number of corrupt officials will be reduced a lot, and the people will live a good life!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.

"You must never bypass them and oppress the people so much!" King Yu said angrily.

"Well, don't be so angry, look at it calmly, think about the things behind it, slowly think about it, think about the problems here, and naturally you will know that this is the case!" Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and said, "I don't want King Yu to go to extremes."

"Yeah!" King Yu nodded when he heard this, and was still very angry.

Then Zhang Hao took King Yu to continue to visit Jinan City. Zhang Hao took him to those famous places in Jinan City, one of them was to see.

Another one is to hear what the people say about Shandong officials. Along the way, Zhang Hao heard a lot of them, but no good comments. In the afternoon, Zhang Hao and the others returned to their residence, Chen Lian came over, and said to Zhang Hao: "King Lu has always said he hopes to see you!"

"What do you see me?" Zhang Hao asked as he looked at Chen Lian.

"I don't know, I guess I want to plead with you or have other ideas!" Chen Lian shook his head and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go, Your Highness, Prince Yu, let's go to King Lu's house to see what King Lu said!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go see this King of Lu, as Shandong has become like this, he has the responsibility!" King Yu said very angrily.

"Well, let's go!" Zhang Hao said and walked outside. King Yu also followed Zhang Hao. Now, whatever Zhang Hao goes to do, he will take King Yu with him.

After all, Zhang Hao was also worried about what would happen to King Yu. Following him, he could be relieved. Soon, Zhang Hao took King Yu to Prince Lu's Mansion.

The Prince Lu's Mansion learned the news in advance and opened the door. When he saw Zhang Hao coming over, he saw the young man beside Zhang Hao. It was King Yu. King Lu took Zhu Jingzhe and immediately bowed to King Yu and said, "I have seen Your Highness, Prince Yu!"

"Well, I've seen His Highness King Lu!"

"Mr. Lu An, please!" King Lu continued to say to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, go in and take a look!" Zhang Hao nodded with a smile. When he arrived at the Lu Palace, Zhang Hao saw the people kneeling all over the ground in the yard, all of which were from the King of Lu's house, all of which were all big and small, and there were also cradle babies.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Zhang Hao stood there and looked at King Lu and asked.

"Please spare your life!" King Lu bowed to Zhang Hao and said.

"Don't worry, my Ming Dynasty has a law. Unless it is to kill the nine clans, it will let the child's life go. Your King Lu has not yet reached that amount, right? Your Highness, King Lu, who do you do this for? You have done so much before. My files about you and King Lu are one floor tall. Didn't you think of such a day when you killed someone?" Zhang Hao looked at King Lu and said,

King Lu stood there, without saying a word.

"Get back!" Zhang Hao said to those family books. The family books immediately stood up and left quickly. Zhang Hao stared at King Lu and then said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to bully King Yu's young and innocent young, want King Yu to plead for you, or should you take advantage of King Yu's young sympathy to plead for His Majesty?"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

King Lu was so surprised at this moment.
