At this time, Lord Li, the Changpingsi, began to panic.

The reason why he was so panicked was not because there was a large amount of money deposited in the warehouse, but because the governor Zhao Jinding was just a fool! Why was there so much money in the warehouse?

Could it be that this person who is the one who is the one who is greedy for the Changpingsi?

In fact, this is not the case.

This involves a special noun in the ancient officialdom, called "deficiency".

The so-called deficit means that the silver that should be found on the book does not match the silver that actually exists in the warehouse.

In other words, there should be 310,000 taels of silver on the books today, but in fact there are only 20,000 taels, which is called a deficit.

As for how this deficit was formed, the reasons are complicated.

Not only is it difficult to explain clearly when it is said, but even the officials involved are difficult to explain where the money has gone.

The reason for the deficit is that in the local governments, those officials were caused by poor management and corruption.

This hole is often lost as officials are promoted and transferred, and new officials continue to make money after taking office.

Usually in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, it is normal to cause deficits.

The newly appointed official found that the amount of silver deposited on the books and the actual warehouse was not in line with that.

It would be strange if one or two taels were fine! Speaking of this, I think someone might ask, since that is the case, how could a newly appointed official swallow his anger and be willing to suffer a big loss by himself?

But in fact, almost every official will take down the deficit.

Here we can give an example. When an official finds that his warehouse is 40,000 taels of silver less than the books, this may be roughly consistent with the number he imagined.

Then he would sit with the official whose ex-girlfriend had not left and talk about the conditions, and the two sides made a secret handover.

Although the previous official was about to leave, most of them left because they were promoted, at least they were transferred to the right level.

People also have certain power and connections in the officialdom. If the new official shouted out at this time, saying that his ex was greedy for Mokuyin, this matter would not be beneficial to anyone.

If this new official really does this, he will never think about being promoted in his life. He may even be trampled on by his colleagues as a slut.

Therefore, when the two officials handed over, they usually showed their connections and relationships, and made some compromises and transactions about the issue of Kuyin.

Officials who want to leave may introduce their local forces and connections and friends they have made to the new officials.

Or they promised to become an ally with him, and both sides expanded their connections.

In short, this new official will always take over these deficiencies. When he is transferred to the office in a few years, he will expand the holes that have been a lot and throw them to the next one.

This kind of thing has already formed a conventional rule in the officialdom.

It's like a row of toilets, everyone has people sitting on it.

As long as no one gets up, I will sit on you immediately after I transfer you, and no one will find the shit under their butts... Then the Zhao Jinding County Governor came.

The current situation is that the position of county magistrate is completely newly appointed! At this time, the promotion of Changping Sikor Li recalled that Zhao County was responsible for the official duties of the entire county! (There are also deficiencies in the entire county) So let alone the Lord Zhao Jinding in front of him, if it were an ordinary Song official, what you created this time were four yamen and one state yamen, and a total of five departments, dozens of officials who embezzled money and made holes that were pierced... Why did I have to bear it alone?

What's more, this Zhao County Governor was not an official of the Song Dynasty in the ordinary sense.

He represented the style of officials in Tongzhou, who was famous for his honest and honest style and no penniless style.

So how could he be, how could he dare to eat such a big hole?

When Lord Li thought of this, he knew that the governor of Zhao must have fought to the death with this deficit.

When he thought of Chen Zhimao and Milk, which had lasted for so many years, it was because he was in charge of the warehouse and it all happened to him alone... How could he not be afraid now?

...So when I heard the Zhao County Magistrate ask, I saw Lord Li of Changping stammeringly saying: "Go back to the County Magistrate, the matter in this kuyin is complicated, with many ideas, and it is also very involved."

"Why would the governor of Zhao take advantage of his humble position and let the lower officials report to you in detail?"

The reason why Lord Li said this was that he wanted to tell the deficit of the warehouse to the county magistrate intact.

It also let him know the origin of these deficiencies and his own difficulties.

Although he himself made a lot of money in the warehouse, he actually less than one-twentieth of the total deficit.

If you have taken such a big blame, do you think he is wronged?

But after he said this, he saw that the face of the Zhao Junjun Magistrate was as stern as an iron gate.

Zhao Jinding said without hesitation: "Zhao has always been open and honest, and he has nothing to say to others!"

"Stop being sneaky, just say whatever you have!"

"Oh, my god!"

At this time, if Lord Li had not been concerned about his official power, he would have really wanted to cover his face and squat down the ground and sighed fiercely! Will this Zhao Jinding become an official?

You should know that everything discussed in private means that there are benefits to take... Why doesn't he even understand this?

At this time, Lord Li was ruthlessly urged by the governor of Zhao County and had no way out.

So he could only shut up and say nothing, because he knew that he had only one way to go now.

...If he recognizes all the deficits in public and the officials involved in the deficits, then he will become an enemy of the entire Song Dynasty officialdom in one day! At that time, his position in the officialdom will be like a magician who specializes in deciphering magic tricks (it is easy to talk).

So all the officials in the world were like him exposing his privacy and destroying his job.

Then he would not be able to continue in the officialdom, not to mention being promoted, it would be a question whether he could survive in the officialdom! So in order to protect his career, he could only shut up and say nothing.

At this time, Zhao Jinding saw that Lord Li refused to explain and began to fight against him with silence.

He smiled and said to Lord Li: "The quantity of silver in Changping warehouse does not match, which is directly related to the promotion of Lord Li of Changping.

It turns out that my original intention is that I don’t need to ask you at all. If you find a problem, just put you in jail and do the right way to do it.”

"Now I have given you this opportunity to explain, and even if you have explained Kuyin's whereabouts, I can spare you...but you are now in this attitude!"
