Chapter 515 Jiangnan Silver Treasury Affairs
(First update!) )
Emperor Chongde's grand tour in Jiangnan Mansion will be sent back to Jingzhao from time to time. The officials who remained in Jingzhao Mansion, especially the officials of the Political Affairs Hall and the Sixth Ministry, would know more or less about the situation of the Jiangnan patrol.
The effect of asking questions about customs and appeasing the south of the Yangtze River, the sensation caused by the place where the emperor passed, and the reverence caused by the majesty of the heavenly family...... And so on, basically in the expectation of Jingzhao officials, there is not much to say.
The emperor's patrol is like this.
It is an official from Jingzhao who doesn't particularly attach great importance to this information, and the crown prince Zhu Xuanming doesn't even feel that he needs to know it. Anyway, with the father and emperor in Jiangnan Mansion, everything will be fine.
However, when he saw the latest report of Jiangnan Xunxing, the prince, who was reading the music in the East Palace, couldn't hold it anymore, his hands and feet didn't seem to be his own, and he trembled involuntarily; Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong, the two ministers of the prison state, immediately frowned; The other officials stiffened and were stunned......
They didn't expect that there would be such a big problem in the Jiangnan Silver Treasury, and the emperor saw it with his own eyes!
Far away in Jingzhao, they can feel the bloody wind and rain of Jiangnan Mansion, imagining the situation in Jiangnan Mansion now, they are ready to estimate: Jiangnan Mansion has changed; The Jingzhao Dynasty is also about to shake.
When the emperor was inspecting the Xingfu in Jiangnan Mansion, under the advice of Yu Hengjing, the imperial historian, and Changyin Gongzi, accompanied by Yin Yu Daoyuan of Jiangnan Mansion and Yang Gao of Hangzhou Assassin History, he inspected the Jiangnan Silver Treasury. This inspection revealed the problem.
After the imperial treasury was removed, the Jiangnan Silver Treasury and the Jingzhao National Treasury. It has become the two major libraries of Dading. Gangnam and Songjiang are both rich places, and it is a matter of course to set up a silver treasury here.
Over the years, Jiangnan Silver Treasury has been mainly used for the livelihood of Jiufu and has made outstanding contributions to Chengping in Dading. In other words, whether it is the river water conservancy of Jiufu, the reclamation of barren land, or even the construction of the official government, the wealth is from the Jiangnan Silver Treasury.
It is precisely because of the Jiangnan Silver Treasury that the livelihood of Jiufu can be peaceful, even if the dynasty is unfortunate. There are some floods and droughts. They can all get through it smoothly. The Jiangnan silver treasury is used for people's livelihood, and its role will not be so obvious compared to the use of the treasury in the army, and it will not be so concerned by the court.
But actually. The Jiangnan Silver Treasury was the foundation of the stability of the dynasty. It is precisely because of the Jiangnan Silver Treasury. only to support the military and political affairs of Dading. The emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the Jiangnan Silver Treasury, so you can imagine how important the Jiangnan Silver Treasury is.
The Jiangnan Silver Treasury is the same as the Jingzhao Treasury. They are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the management is quite strict. And the officials who manage the Jiangnan Treasury are equivalent to a miniature version of the household department. Among them, the head of the silver treasury is the fifth grade, although the official rank is lower than that of the household servant, but the authority is not low at all.
Every time the Jiangnan Bank allocates money, in addition to the seal of the household department, there must also be the seal of the head of the bank, otherwise the money cannot be out of the bank. This position is also an extremely enviable official position for foreign officials in Beijing.
The head of the treasury, like the court officials, is changed every three or five years. The current head of the silver treasury is Liao Jiuduan.
As I said before, Liao Jiuduan had received the favor of Qin Yi, but he was actually a person from the Gonggong Mansion, and he had been in this position for almost five years.
This time, the Jiangnan Silver Treasury had an accident, and the beginning was Liao Jiuduan.
After Yu Hengjing suggested the inspection, when the accompanying officials of the Yushitai and the household department routinely checked the accounts, they found a big problem in the Liao Mansion. is just a subordinate of Liao's Mansion, and his monthly case in January is equivalent to the monthly case of the housekeeper in the mansion of Jingzhao Yipin.
From this small monthly incident, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory sensitively discovered that something was wrong, and they found more and more problems under the touch of the vine.
Through the inspection of the Liao Mansion, the officials of the Yushitai also found out that the family of Yin Yu Daoyuan of Jiangnan Mansion and the family of Yang Gao, the assassin of Hangzhou, had found similar problems. In these three houses, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory found many hidden accounts and also found a lot of huge amounts of money, all of which were of unknown origin.
Jiangnan Silver Treasury is very important, and it has found hidden accounts in these three houses, of course, it will be investigated to the end.
The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory were shocked to find that in addition to these three, there were also many officials from Jiangnan Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture who were involved, and more and more things were involved, and the number of cases was getting bigger and bigger. At this point, the matter of the dry shares of the Jiangnan Silver Treasury has gradually surfaced.
Cadre stocks, these two words, are not unfamiliar to all officials of the household department, and the officials of the Yushitai are also very familiar. But they didn't expect that Liao Jiuduan, Yu Daoyuan, and Yang Gao would be so bold that they would take the silver in the Jiangnan Treasury as the stock of all dry stocks, and take advantage of the loopholes in the management of the Jiangnan Treasury to release it little by little.
The Jiangnan Treasury matter is so big that almost the officials of the entire Jiangnan Prefecture are involved, and even most of the officials of the Songjiang Prefecture know that there is such a thing.
And the most important parts of it were sent out of these two provinces. From the dark accounts found in Liao Jiuduan's mansion, it can be seen that one-third of the Jiangnan silver treasury was sent to the Jingzhao magnates.
Who are these magnates, and they can be found out from the Chengguo Mansion and the Zhang family of the Hubu Shangshu!
When these two families were involved, the entire patrol team was shocked, and Emperor Chongde had a gloomy face, and he could almost burn Liao Jiuduan to ashes with his gaze.
Emperor Chongde immediately ordered that the Chengguo Mansion and the Zhang family be controlled, and no one should escape, and the imperial driver would return to Jingzhao for review!
Chengguo Mansion, which is the noble family that has made meritorious contributions from the dragon; The Zhang family is the family of the Household Minister, and it is also the mother family of the crown princess, and more importantly, these two families are the right-hand men of the prince, and they have been standing behind the prince for a long time.
No wonder the prince was so panicked when he knew about the Jiangnan silver treasury; No wonder Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong were so shocked. Even, they all thought of a more terrifying possibility: Could the Jiangnan silver treasury matter be related to the prince?
The Jiangnan silver treasury matter is more serious than the imperial treasury affairs in the previous two years. In addition to the number of officials involved and the high official position, the nobles and royal families are also involved. This time, no one knows how Emperor Chongde will deal with this matter, and no one knows if more people will be involved.
And because of the Wangjiang Tower, Qin Yi, the Duke of Chengguo, who had been abandoned by Emperor Chongde, fainted after knowing that something had happened to the Jiangnan Silver Treasury.
Sure enough, his previous worries were realized, and the matter of Jiangnan Silver Treasury was indeed exposed. What will be waiting for the Chengguo Mansion?
(Extra: First Update!) I'm sorry, I couldn't update it yesterday, one is to prepare for a business trip to Jiangxi, and the other is stuck, and my brain has become paste, bow and apologize! (To be continued......)
PS: First update! Recommend an ancient saying: Yi Ling, the author of "Rich as Brocade". Introduction: Jiang Rujin in the previous life tried his best until he died, but he did not change his fate.
In this life, she feels that everything should be eliminated from the root, and none of those who harm her will be spared.
And small happiness also needs to be fought for with your own hands.
