Chapter 592
After leaving the Ganqing Palace, Wang Yu secretly thought about it all the way. The corruption case of corruption in the Cangchangying was a shocking case. The amount of corruption in rice and grain was so large that it implicated the officials. It was rare since the Qing Dynasty. Why did Zhenwu order a serious investigation and let the investigation results be leaked? If such a big case is spread, how can the court face it? Besides, now that the drought is beginning to show, and such a big deficit is spreading, will the people panic? Will it trigger a new round of grain grabbing? The more he thinks, the more he feels that the matter is important, he hesitates and turns around and goes to the study room.
In the study room, Song Zhu had just received the order and led his troops to check the seven major water warehouses set up along the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. Seeing Wang Xuan in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "Zao Tathagata is right. He just went to check the water warehouse with an order. I hope Zao Ru will give me advice."
Wang Yu glanced at him and saw Xiao Yongzao, Ma Qi, and Zhang Pengfeng all present. He couldn't help but feel relieved and said with a smile: "Master Song is joking. I'm not familiar with warehouse affairs either. The way to check Jingcang is really clumsy."
"Although the method is stupid, it is the most thorough." Zhang Penghong suddenly interrupted while sitting in the chair. He had been in the Ministry of Revenue for a long time and was more familiar with the situation in the warehouse and granary.
Seeing Zhang Pengchong speak, Song Zhu couldn't help but turn around and said, "Please give Yunqing some advice."
"There is no point in pointing out." Zhang Penghong said with a smile, looking at Wang Yu, and inquiring: "The emperor issued an order to investigate the Shui Qi Cang. It should be that Zaoru's investigation has made progress."
Wang Xuan went back to the study room to talk about this matter, and immediately said, "That's right." As he said that, he told the investigation results and then said, "Everyone, this case not only involves many, but also has a lot of deficits. Once it spreads, how can the court face? Moreover, it may cause greater panic."
Everyone here is a sage. Seeing that he had told the result without hesitation, he was too worried about it, so he vaguely guessed that it might be Zhenwu's intention to let him disclose it. What is the intention of Zhenwu's move? Once this result is leaked, the princes and nobles who have contact with the officials in the warehouse will inevitably cause panic and will inevitably find ways to clear it. However, the group of warehouse officials, Yu and grain merchants Rujiang have been controlled, and how many people can clear it? I don't know if Zhenwu wants to alarm the enemy? Or do I want to define the case within a certain range so as not to involve too much and not end it.
Zhang Penghong knew Zhenwu's temperament and thoughts, and was silent for a while. Seeing that few people didn't speak, he pondered: "The court vigorously cleaned up and rectified the corruption and corruption in warehouses and places, which is an anti-corruption campaign, and this is a great move to win the hearts of the people. Why fear of public disclosure? As for the deficit and the people are panicked, there is no need to worry too much.
The total wheat grain stored in the Beijing-Tong Grain Store is about 8 million stones. Even if there is a deficit of 1 million stone, there is still 7 million stones, which is more than enough for disaster relief. In addition, Tianjin has opened a port and the canal has been thawed. The grain from Jiangnan and the grain from Nanyang can then be transported to the capital, and chaos cannot occur.
You may not be very clear about the rice and grain in Nanyang. It is reported that the rice production in Nanyang is far better than that in Jiangnan, but the population is less than half of that in Jiangnan. If you buy it with all your might, three million stones are not a problem. The court is not short of money at the moment. The emperor is not short of money, so don’t worry too much."
Although Wang Yu, Ma Qi and others heard that Nanyang rice was rich, they never expected that they would be so rich. No wonder Zhenwu dared to clean up the granary while providing disaster relief. It turned out that there was a confidence here. With the three million stones of rice in Nanyang, there would be no trouble. If the people set off a rush to buy, the court would take this opportunity to replace Chen Mi in the granary, which would be a good plan!
After a brief pause, Zhang Penghong said to Songzhu again: "I think that since the emperor issued an order to investigate the seven warehouses of the water, he may conduct a large-scale thorough investigation of Changping warehouses, social warehouses and charity warehouses in various provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties. Many granaries have been built over the years, but they have neglected the management of warehouses. It is indeed necessary to thoroughly clean up and rectify them. Otherwise, if there is a major disaster or war, it is necessary to miss the major.
The emperor has been in Jiangnan for a long time and has learned about the local shortcomings. This move is far-reaching. With the emperor's usual style, after this thorough cleaning and rectification, it may also innovate the management system of the granary. Therefore, the Shuiqian Warehouse must be thoroughly investigated like Beijing and Tongcangchang, and no future troubles can be left behind.
The water tank is a transfer warehouse along the canal. The amount of grain storage is not large, but the grain is frequently in and out, so the situation of corruption in pursuing pursuing may be even more serious. Lord Song would better bring some accountants to the place."

The leaks of the cleanup results of Fuxin Cang, Old Taicang, and Tongzhou Xicang did not cause much response. The gentry and people have long been accustomed to the corruption of officials. This major case has surfaced. For them, it is just a topic for them to add to their meals. As long as the rice bureau of the Five Cities is still selling grain at a steady stream of affordable prices, they are not in a hurry at all. The millet shops dare not raise prices on this occasion. They would rather make less than take this risk.
The officials of all sizes and big cities in the capital had expected this result. The warehouse had not been rectified for many years. Such a thorough investigation made the old foundation come out, and the amount was not large, which was strange. The most annoying were the Hanlin officials and the Imperial College students. The salary of the Beijing officials was meager. Their life in the capital was so hard that they naturally hated this.
But the royal princes and officials who have benefited from the granary in the warehouse were in panic. The deficit was so huge that Zhenwu could not make a big thunder and rain. Besides, this was the first major case he personally arrested since he ascended the throne. Even with his toes, he knew that the next thing would be a storm, a storm, a dismissal, a house was raided, and a large number of exiled people were afraid. How could they not be afraid?
The next morning court, the court officials who are qualified to attend the court basically came to participate. The one who is not worried about anything is that they are watching the fun. Zhenwu cannot react without a reaction in such a big case. It is also a great pleasure to see a group of arrogant princes and nobles who are usually arrogant. Those who have ghosts in their hearts want to come and find the limelight. This case involves many officials and especially many bannermen. I wonder what Zhenwu will do? Should he take the big and let go of the small or take the big and small? Should he be quick to review and settle, or should he be careful and investigated slowly?
In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhenwu sat upright on the dragon throne and listened to the reports of the heads of the department and the heads of the department. The Beijing News published the Zhenwu lent the one-year regular tuition of the provinces affected by disasters in the north. He also proposed to lose donations and provide relief and started the construction of a work-for-relief project. With the delivery of the Beijing News, the chief officials of various provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties dared not wait and see. They condemned people to report disasters in various places at an accelerated speed of 800 miles. The departments became busy, and the affairs were complicated and it took more than an hour to complete the routine administration.
Zhenwu moved slightly on the dragon throne before instructing in a deep voice: "Call the princes and nobles, and all the civil and military ministers above the third rank and above will come in."
The eunuch Xuan and others entered the hall. The princes and ministers who had been waiting for a long time were all excited and immediately lined up according to their official ranks and entered in sequence. After entering the hall for a bow, Zhenwu said with great talent: "All ministers and officials are calm." After everyone got up, he glanced at the princes and nobles, civil and military officials, and pondered slightly. Just as they were about to speak, the first-class Duke Alci had already gritted his teeth and stood up, knelt down and kowtowed, "I asked the emperor, Fuxincang Supervisor Ma Fugui is a slave, and he was also recommended by slaves. Fuxincang experienced a huge deficit, and the slaves could not refuse the blame. The slaves were not strict in control of the subordinates, and there was a mistake in recommendation, wrong in supervision and joint crimes. Wuyan was in the court again, and asked the emperor to allow the slaves to resign from the position of commander of the Mongolian in the Hongqi."
After hearing this, all the princes and ministers in the palace were stunned. Which one did they sing? Resigning from their jobs to get rid of their crimes? Is it that easy? All the civil and military ministers immediately became twelve points to listen to what Zhenwu should do. The princes and princesses of the other four flags lowered the five flags were shocked. What does it mean to inlaid the red flag? He handed over the position of the Mongolian chieftain?
Zhenwu obviously did not expect that Alci was so good. He glanced at Prince Zhuang Boguoduo, then glanced at Prince Lian Yinsi, and felt quite happy. This saved him some verbal talk. After a moment of contemplation, he said briefly: "Such assured."
When Alcy heard that Zhenwu had no intention of pursuing him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This move was really right. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace."
When he saw that Alci's method worked, the commander of the Han army in the Red Flag, the commander of the E Dynasty, the deputy commander Wu Shu, and Neyintu quickly followed it and followed suit.
Zhenwu was secretly happy, but his face looked as usual. He was slightly reserved and then allowed one by one.
Seeing this situation, the princes and nobles and civil and military ministers all realized the taste. Zhenwu wanted to completely seize the military power of each flag by using the case of private fraud in the warehouse! The red flag inlaid has now become a completely empty space.
The princes and princes of the other four banners could not help but hesitate and handed over their powers. They really became Prince Kong Twinkle. Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A was the first to react. Zhenwu was imperative to confiscate the military power of each banner. Even if he could escape this disaster, he could not escape the next disaster. If he dragged it on, he would only suffer even more. He hurriedly gave a wink to the Dorobel Dudu Manduhu, who was beside him.
Manduhu had already been eager to try it out. Supervisor Man of Xicang, Tongzhou, was his servant in his mansion. He has been involved in grain business a lot over the years. Seeing that Alci and others have saved their titles, he was already very moved. He was the title of Beile. If he was deposed or reduced, the loss would be extraordinary. Seeing that Yaerjiang A made him look, he couldn't help but feel excited and hurriedly stepped out and knelt down and said, "Speak to the Emperor, the Supervisor of Xicang, Tongzhou, Niyaha, is a slave..."
Seeing that the Lanqi of the Inlaid also moved, Zhenwu felt excited and glanced at the princes and honors of the other banners below the steps. He quickly interrupted Manduhu's words and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it."
Yinsi couldn't help but secretly applaud. This trick made them submit a memorial to apologize for resignation. This was not only an opportunity to consider other banners, but also a way to retain decentness for the princes and ministers. {Piaotian Wenxue www.piaotian.net Thanks to all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
