Daming: Huge Corruption? Zhu Yuanzhang Begged Me Not to Die!

In the tenth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang patrolled the south incognito, vowing to purge Jiangnan officials. As a result, when I entered the city, I saw factories everywhere in Wuxian County, people were eating braised pork, and even beggars were speculating in the stock market! The county magistrate Xu An is extremely wealthy. He rides in a bulletproof carriage when traveling and maintains a private army at home. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "This is the most corrupt official in the history, I will peel off the skin and make the grass!" Xu An calmly handed out a report: "Your Majesty, this is the dividend to the treasury this year, 10 million taels." Zhu Yuanzhang's hands shook: "... My dear, thank you for your hard work, can I peel an orange for you?" Transfer Xu An to Songjiang to chew bones? He backhanded real estate and even formed an invincible fleet, turning Japan into a mining area for the Ming Dynasty! Transferred to Peiping to guard the frontier? He sold the naming rights of the Great Wall and used the money earned to build tanks and Gatlings, killing Bei Yuan until he cried for his father and mother! Hu Weiyong: "Your Majesty, Xu Anfu is so powerful that he can be the enemy of the country, so he must rebel!" Zhu Yuanzhang kicked him away: "Shut up! That's my God of Wealth! The Ming Dynasty is able to dominate the country because the sun never sets, all because of his greed!" This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
