Playing Ball: the Identity of the Corrupt Official Was Discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang

Traveling through the early Ming Dynasty, he met Zhu Yuanzhang in a tavern. Zhu Yuanzhang recognized Li Lin as his long-lost grandson. Li Lin took office as a county magistrate and began his career as a corrupt official. One hundred thousand taels were collected from Heifeng Village, 500 taels were handed over for confiscation, and the rest were all used to enrich their own pockets. Turning the sale of official positions into an industry, making the purchase of official positions transparent, so that as long as you have money, you can become a high official, that's how real it is. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Lin, the big worm in the empire, and chopped off his feet in anger. "This is all my fault. I should have dismissed him when he was the county magistrate, so that there would not be a corrupt official who would shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty." Soon after. Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. "Why did he really embezzle so much for the Ming Dynasty? He improved agriculture, eliminated banditry, wiped out the Japanese pirates with cannons, and the European queen sent her daughter to marry her grandson?" "Why did he commit corruption to advance civilization? Invent the steam engine, invent the light bulb to light up the world, and enrich the Ming Dynasty's diet with paddle steamers and fishing?"
