Zhu Yuanzhang because of a major corruption case at that time" The case of Guo Huan And issued a decree, which clearly requires that the numbers of accounting must be changed from "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand" to "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred (Mo), Qian (Qian)" and other complex Chinese characters to increase the difficulty of correcting the account books. Later, "Mo" and "Qian" were rewritten into "hundred and Qian" and have been used ever since.

Government, state, county They should send planners to report to the department Local finance Accounts of income and expenditure and the amount of money and food. Figures between different levels of government and between ministries must match exactly. Any mistake, it'll be sent back. Due to the distance between the place and the capital, in order to save time and avoid the pain of traveling, everywhere handcuff A blank ledger with official seals. If it is returned, please fill in the correction at any time. And because the blank ledger was stamped with a seal, it could not be used for other purposes, and the ministry did not intervene.
In March, the 18th year of Hongwu (1385 AD), Servant of the Ministry Guo Huan A huge corruption case in the East window shocked the whole country. Guo Huan colluded with the minor officials of the six departments of punishment, rites, soldiers, and industry, as well as the provincial bureaucrats and landlords, and engaged in corruption Tax grain And fish salt, folding meters more than 24 million stones. That's about the same as the whole country Autumn grain crops The total number of seizures is flat! On top of that, they embezzled a lot Precious currency Gold and silver.
Corrupt officials are the use of blank books to do the article, the ministries collude, big False account . To deceive the emperor and prey on the people. Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan was furious and ordered to put Guo Huan and other six twelve senior officials and left and right attendants below accomplice Tens of thousands, all executed. There are countless people who are imprisoned, charged, and accused.
In order to fight corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang also formulated strict laws to punish economic crimes; And in the financial management of technical prevention, the implementation of some effective measures. The Chinese characters that record the numbers of money and grain "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand" are changed to uppercase, and "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand" is one of the important ones.
Zhu Yuanzhang was an orphan born as a sharecropper, he begged for food, worked as a monk, and beat Miscellaneous duties I know the sufferings of ordinary people. He hated the way corrupt officials skimmed off the people. Therefore, they also developed iron and blood means that are more vicious than the treatment of the enemy - "stripping grass", in order to suppress these people by torture borer .

Number of counts Character usage Uppercase, is used since ancient times until The Republic of China Only after liberation did some accounts gradually switch to Arabic numerals. So, when did the use of uppercase numbers originate? " Put words into words Mr. Hou Jialiang's article "The Origin of Capital Numbers" published in the 12th issue of 2004 said: "In order to fight corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang Penalties have also been instituted Economic crime The strict laws and regulations Financial management On the technical prevention, the implementation of some effective measures. The Chinese characters that record the numbers of money and grain 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand' are capitalized and the words' one, two, three, four, five, six, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand 'are one of the important ones." That is to say, counting with capital numbers originated from Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
Is the above statement reliable? According to the relevant information, not so. The use of capital numbers can be traced back to nearly seven hundred years at the latest, and the initiator should put forward the Tang Dynasty, which was full of reform spirit Empress Wu Zetian . She was the only empress who dared to invent her own words; Her name Wu Zhao The word "Zhao" is the proof of this. According to the Late Ming and early Qing The famous scholar, the author Gu Yanwu It can be seen that "Dai Yue Guan Image Record" is a stone tablet set up by the Tian Dynasty, with capital numbers on it. Gu Yanwu researched and said: "All the numbers as one, two, three, four, Wu, Lu, seven, eight, nine, etc., are changed by the Empress of the military and self-made characters."
Uppercase numerals were used not only on steles but also in poems after the reign of the Emperor. Tang famous great poet Bai Juyi Song edition Bai's Changqing collection In "On the camp request Le Weibo and other four soldiers but keep this field of affairs" there is such an account: "The monthly cost of its army, the actual amount of money two hundred eighty thousand." Among them, "two", "ten", "lacquer" and "eight" are all capital numbers. Gu Yanwu said this "lacquer" word, Ben Ought to do "桼", more than three points are added by later generations. After "lacquer" is shortened to "seven", and then shortened to "seven".
By about the Song Dynasty, counting numbers used in government documents had to be capitalized. Scholars of Song dynasty Cheng Dachang In his book, "Play Fanlu · Ten numbers to use painting characters", he wrote: "Today's government documents where the number of their number, all take the same sound and paint more use it. In the case of one, two, three, four and so on, this is not a number, is to take the words of the same, so as to use, expensive dot painting can not be changed into rape ears."
All the relevant accounts mentioned above fully prove that the use of capital numerals was in the reign of Wu Zetian, which has been more than 1,300 years ago, and it did not start in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, as Mr. Hou said.
