Seeing Zhenwu pondering, Su Zhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His words were false and real, deliberately exaggerating the fact that the people owed. It was true that the people owed it, but the people who owed money and grain were not the people, but local gentry. Relief loans have been mostly passed through the hands of local gentry. One way the government cannot draw enough people, and the other way, only through local gentry can local governments have the guarantee of collecting loans.

The reason why local gentry is allowed to default is that officials have gained enough benefits from it. Whether it is borrowing loans or collecting loans or pursuing surplus, there are agreements and customary sharing. The gentry handled does not lose money, and those who release them are all usury. For the people, this has been the case for generations, and it is accustomed to the people. Some people have the idea of ​​not worrying about debts and not having itchy lice. Anyway, the usury cannot be paid off clearly, so borrow it if you can.

After pondering for a while, Zhenwu said, "Where is there no famine in the Galli term? Didn't a province in Shanxi go to his post to buy money and lend money to the people?"

"Go back to the emperor." Governor Su Keji immediately bowed and said, "It is the responsibility of local officials to go out to buy money and lend money to the people. How dare Gali ignore it? The reason why Gali can eliminate the deficit in Shanxi was to increase the fire consumption in the province to two cents and five cents, and to use the name of building temples and temples to order gentry and people to pay donations, and use means to extort local wealthy merchants."

Zhenwu nodded slightly when he heard this. He had heard of Gali's evil deeds in the capital. He took advantage of the Jiangnan scientific research case and took away Gali's top spot in one fell swoop and collected his deeds. The fire consumption of one tael of silver was increased to two cents and five cents. This was really a resentful act of heaven and people. No wonder he could erase the deficit in Shanxi and make a big profit.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How much is the fire consumption in Shanxi now?"

"Go back to the emperor." Su Keji hurriedly bowed and said, "When the slave took over, the public was full of grievances, which caused public rebellion. When the slave took office, he reduced the fire to one cent. Except for the regular taxes, there were no other miscellaneous taxes."

A single money is not low, but Zhenwu was determined to abolish the fire consumption. He was unwilling to ask more questions on this. After looking at Su Zhan, he asked: "You are very clear about the disadvantages of local money and food deficits. Can you have a good solution to eliminate and curb?"

This is a huge article, and it is an offense to offend officials all over the world. How dare Su Zhan speak randomly? Besides, he was unprepared in advance. However, he reacted quickly enough and knew that this was a great opportunity. Zhenwu Su liked innovation, which is known to everyone in the whole country. If he could perform in eliminating and curbing deficits, he would definitely win the favor of Zhenwu.

After pondering slightly, he bowed and replied: "Return to the emperor. As for the situation in Shanxi, it is almost impossible to cure the deficit. Preparing for war, quelling grain prices, and providing relief and loans are all inseparable from warehousing grain. To curb the deficit, it is necessary to strip away the various functions of warehousing, and the hasty view of the slaves is not good at making good plans."

The various functions of warehousing? Zhenwu heard it, but he was moved. This was the point. If warehousing grain was only used to prepare for war and famine, it would not be said to be able to eradicate the deficit in one fell swoop. At least it could significantly reduce the amount of the deficit. This idea is correct. However, it is not easy to separate it specifically. Lending can be taken over by the "Four Great Hengs", but it is quite difficult to provide relief to peacefully stabilize the grain prices.

This matter has to be done slowly, and it is not urgent. Zhenwu glanced at Su Keji, Su Zhan and the others, and then asked in a deep voice: "I have sent supervisors to supervise relief in several prefectures and counties in the northern provinces. I heard that the whereabouts of supervisors in Shanxi are unknown. Is there any such incident?"

When Zhenwu mentioned this, Su Keji hurriedly bowed and said cautiously: "When he returned to the emperor, heavy rain fell and the drought was relieved, all the prison students in various places were quite relaxed and went out to travel to experience it. After hearing the news, the servants were worried about the safety of the prison students. They once ordered officials from all prefectures to transfer personnel to accompany them to prevent accidents.

So far, no prefecture and county officials have reported an accident in the prison student, nor have they reported that the whereabouts of the prison student have been unknown. Since the emperor heard about it, the slave immediately issued a document to order all prefectures and counties to investigate it strictly."

It seems that the three supervisors were fine. Zhenwu glanced at the two and said, "The supervisors who went to various places to serve as supervisors are selected from the best. I have had strict orders. If there is an accident in the supervisor, local officials will be severely punished. It is better to pass on my will, and the supervisors of all prefectures and counties around Taiyuan will rush to Fuya to meet the guests the next day."

"Zhe. The servant follows the order." Su Keji hurriedly bowed, but he was secretly alert in his heart. He guessed that Zhenwu would ask about impeachment of the Taiyuan prefect Zhao Fengzhao next.

However, Zhenwu had no intention of asking about the bullshit things. The local governors and governors have always criticized each other or impeached the superiors and impeached the subordinates, but they were not able to distinguish clearly in a few words. He did not want to waste his energy on this and let Ma Qi and Wang Shu deal with it.

What he considered was how to deal with Kuixu and the other three, which was what he should consider at the moment. In order to seek credit and fill the gap, these three embezzled disaster relief money and grain, privately collected labor service during the famine, and wanted to provoke disputes between Manchu and Han. This matter cannot be tolerated, and he cannot tolerated it. However, if the handling is too heavy, it is not conducive to the stability of the court, and it is not conducive to the river management project that has been fully launched. Another point is, how big is the stall they will be in the river management project? Check all these things in detail.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "For my own selfish interests, you have ignored my orders and refusal to invade and transfer disaster relief. You wantonly detain the money and food for disaster relief, and ignore the life and death of the victims. You are actually deceiving the king and the superiors, and the remnants of the people will harm the country." After a slight pause, he continued: "Go to remove the position of the Left Censor of the Kuixu Censorate and ordered him to be fully responsible for the project of eradicating the floods in Taiyuan. Su Keji and Su Zhan will be dismissed for the time being and will fully assist Kuixu."

After hearing this order, both of them felt relieved. Although the punishment for dismissal was severe, they had the opportunity to lose their merits and commit crimes. But what does this mean before? The two of them did not dare to think too much, and hurriedly kowtowed, "I'm waiting to thank the emperor for his kindness."

Zhenwu said with a slight hint: "Kneel down and ask the officials outside the door to go back to the yamen to handle the work."

The two of them left, Zhenwu also stood up and moved a little. He glanced at the dazzling sunshine outside. He slowly walked in the hall. Shanxi is not far from the capital, and there is not much tax every year. Moreover, Shanxi people have a pioneering spirit of daring to be the first, which is the most ideal for use as a pilot. When he was in Beijing, he intended to pilot the abolition of the gentry, gentry paying food together, and working together, strictly prohibiting gentry from taking money and grain, and owing money and grain.

Even the gentry supervisor who was quarreling with the ministers in the study room, he also wanted to try it out first to see what the pros and cons were. He deliberately took Fang Bao to accompany him, and planned to let Fang Bao take charge of the land of the mansion and try to promote it to see how the effect was. Of course, the most suitable mansion for trial should be Taiyuan Mansion. After all, the gentry near the provincial capital has high quality, broad vision, and great influence.

Unexpectedly, the officials in Taiyuan made such a big hole. He also saw that the Fen River control project was quite large. I heard that the surrounding river was also starting construction at the same time to cure the Taiyuan flood. Kuixu dared to think and was also brave. He wanted to learn from the Haihe River in Tianjin to cut straightness and achieve a shocking effect. All the ministers who wanted to enter the room were old. There were probably many ministers with this idea.

Kuixue is only forty years old this year, and he is very talented. Now that Lao Ba is in power, it is normal for him to have this idea. Zhenwu now needs a minister who dares to think and act. After all, innovation requires a minister who is young and promising and brave to serve. But this guy is too brave. He dares to take action first and then report such a big project. If he doesn't temper it, he will probably have a good end.

Outside the second gate, Prince Dun Yinyi sat in the hall, drinking tea uneasy, but his eyes glanced at the corridor of the second gate from time to time. He was really worried about Kuixu. Kuixu was not only an operator of the Eighth Party, but also had a deep personal relationship with him, otherwise he would not have let him go last night.

When he saw Su Keji and Su Zhan and both came out bare, Yin Yi couldn't help but feel relieved. Both of them were dismissed? Zhenwu was furious. Kuixu was afraid that he couldn't help but feel sad. He felt a little relieved. Things were not as bad as he thought.

Seeing Yinyou sitting in the hall, Su Keji and Su Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects. Yinyou waved his hand and said, "What is the emperor's will?"

"Go back to the prince." Su Keji hurriedly bowed and said, "Remove the position of Left Censor of the Kuixu Censorate, and order him to be fully responsible for the project of eradicating the floods in Taiyuan. We will be dismissed for the time being and will do our best to assist Kuixu."

When Yin Yi heard that he had just dismissed the position of Zuodu Censor of Kuixu, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Kuixu was not only the left censor of the Censor of the Censorate, but also the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He only dismissed him as the Left Censor of the Censor of the Censorate. He was still in the second rank and was fully responsible for the river management project. He still had the opportunity to turn around. It seems that Zhenwu still takes good care of his brother-in-law and his relationship.

He smiled and said, "Don't cry, thunder and rain are all kindness, there is still a chance to be reinstated. The emperor will not give you the opportunity to be punished by the merits? Don't you remind you that the emperor likes to settle old accounts and new accounts together, and keeps clean, and manage all the people below. You are now in a step-by-step surrender."

Su Keji nodded repeatedly and said, "The prince's golden and jade-like words must be remembered in his heart."

A guard walked over quickly at this time and bowed to report: "Prince, Fan Yubin brought some seasonal fruits to the emperor."

Yinyi waved to Su Keji and the others, and asked, "Have you checked it?"

"Mr. Da has checked it in detail, no problem." The guard hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Yeah." Yin Yi nodded and said, "The emperor ordered the place to stay here. Don't be too much. Let him in. You are all right and don't embarrass the emperor."

"I dare not wait." The guard hurriedly bowed and retreated. (To be continued...)
