Chapter 0552 Confession

A few years ago, Shaofu was an empty shelf, not to mention how many people there were, but almost no one even knew where the office was.

If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty was orthodox in the world, at least in name it needed a complete institution, I am afraid that even the Shaofu with an empty shelf might not exist.

When Feng Yong became the supervisor of the Zhuye Supervisor under the name of Shaofu, when he went to report for the first time, he was led to a small house in a corner of Weiyang Palace.

Later, under Feng Yong's instigation, Zhuye Jian made an eight-ox plow, although Shaofu failed to get any oil and water from it, but it also gained a little reputation.

Shaofu was prosperous, that was when Hanzhong Metallurgical began to produce output, to be precise, when Feng Yong paid dividends for the first time.

Today's Shaofu is no longer the thatched house of the year, but has redivided a large piece of land in Weiyang Palace, and built a big house, which is one of the most magnificent buildings in the palace.

After all, it's the face of the royal family.

Hanzhong Metallurgical, Nanxiang Workshop, Dongfeng Express, Nanzhong Metallurgical, etc., these industries related to the royal family all need Shaofu to come forward to deal with the outside.

The clerks of the Shaofu also swelled uncontrollably.

In particular, every month they have to send someone to the ticket office to check the accounts, which is the favorite thing for the stewards of the Shaofu.

Although you can't take oil and water openly, the ticket company is sensible, and every time there will be carriage and horse fares, outing fees, etc., these are the rules set by the ticket company.

If you let people work, you have to be paid, this is what Feng Langjun said, and the emperor and queen all approve of it.

I heard that many of the account rooms in the ticket office also serve as the account office of Dongfeng Express, and one person gets two portions.

These people, because they only come out once a month, have no money, and only have a carriage and horse fare, which is about the same, so they can get this money with peace of mind.

Coupled with eating and drinking, every time it can make the steward sent out by Shaofu feel happy.

Although Shaofu is not rich now, in the case of the Prime Minister's Mansion sending people to manage the palace, it can still have its own income, which can be regarded as delicious.

So although most of the stewards in the Shaofu had never seen the legendary Feng Langjun, they all felt that he was their own person.

Until one day, Yue Taishoufu handed Shaofu an accountability document.

Why did it go directly to Shaofu?

Because that batch of purple electric treasure knives was first commissioned by Feng Yong to be built by Hanzhong Metallurgical in the name of building weapons for his own subordinates.

Later, it was authorized by the Prime Minister's Office, but it was defined as the test of new weapons in the Yue Taishou Mansion, which was not a formal custom weapon in the army.

Since it was done by Yue Tai Shou Mansion in private, then this matter has to be done by Yue Tai Shou Fu himself - the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't care about this matter.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty promised to give Feng Yong a certain degree of autonomy in Yueshan, which is still very reputable, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line, let him toss the three counties of Yueshan.

Anyway, those three counties are the places where the Yue Yi people are most concentrated, as long as there is chaos in the Yue Yi, they are basically concentrated in that place, and if they are done well, it will be an unexpected joy.

didn't do a good job, as long as the area from Beishui County to Anshang County can be saved, then this time the chaos will not be a loss.

Since the prime minister of the Han Dynasty exchanged the five hundred soldiers of Nanxiang for the autonomy of Feng Yong's three counties, Meng Yan has already moved the soldiers of the five lieutenants of Nanzhong to Beishui County one after another, which can be regarded as the last guarantee for the stability of Yue Shan, and at the same time, he has the intention of wiping Feng Yong's ass at any time.

Because the imperial court can take Beishui as the front line at any time and re-enter the Sunshui River Valley.

However, now Yueshan has been regarded as a preliminary peace, and even a considerable part of the fields have been cultivated, and some of the families in Shuzhong have already entered Yueshan.

So the risk of chaos is decreasing.

The imperial court expects to get taxes and even people from there by the end of this year, so it is worth taking such a small risk.

If you change someone else, don't say whether the long history of a county has this right of autonomy, even if there is, if you don't have the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and dare to go to the Shaofu directly under the royal family, it will be called arrogance, and whether you can enter the palace gate is still a question.

But who is Feng Yong?

He is the financier of Shaofu.

This letter of accountability was sent over, and the steward of the Shaofu rubbed his eyes, and he thought that he hadn't woken up: When did Han Zhongye become so bold and dare to fool Feng Langjun like this?

Then he sighed again, this Feng Langjun is really generous, and the money and food needed to build a weapon for the trilogy are worth three years of rations for a Ding Kou!

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to slack off at all, and ran directly to find Huang Hu, the head of the eunuch in the palace, with the official document.

"Thirty knives and two broken?"

Liu Chan blinked a little inexplicably, "Feng Langjun asked Han Zhongye to build a treasure knife, and found out that there were problems with two of the thirty newly sent swords?" Does it mean that there is a problem with Hanzhongye? ”

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty didn't care about how much food a knife was worth, and he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the court anyway.

So what he cares about is that if Hanzhong Metallurgical has a problem, will there be a problem with his own money?

After all, the source of the small treasury in the palace, Hanzhongye still accounts for most of it.

It's okay to say in other places, but in Nanxiang, if you even dare Feng Langjun fool you...... So what else would you not dare?

As soon as Liu Chan thought of this, he finally reacted, hurriedly grabbed the official document in his hand, and went straight to the harem.

"Queen, Queen, no, something is wrong!"

The little fat man Liu Chan looked for Zhang Xingcai with a panicked face, "Something happened to Hanzhongye." ”

The palace built several warm pavilions last year, and the construction unit was specially invited from Nanxiang Engineering Team, with a unique style, the fireplace was burning, and the whole house was warm and coaxing.

The queen was only wearing a thin woolen sweater, and she was holding a book and reading fascinated, when she saw the emperor suddenly break in, she was taken aback, and quickly stood up and was about to salute.

Liu Chan directly stuffed the official document in his hand directly into her hand, and said first, "The queen doesn't need to be polite, you can take a look first and help me come up with an idea." That Feng Mingwen came to the official document, saying that he wanted to hold Han Zhongye accountable. ”

When Zhang Xingcai heard this, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly opened the official document and read it carefully.

After reading it, his brows first furrowed, and then he was relieved.

In the end, she couldn't help laughing, "Ha! The concubine is worried about the matter of Hanzhongye these days, but she didn't expect this Feng Mingwen to send such a good excuse at this time! That Jiang Bin is unlucky! ”

When Liu Chan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Hanzhongye has such a thing, why doesn't the queen laugh?" ”

Zhang Xingcai smiled and folded the official document carefully, "Your Majesty doesn't care much about the affairs of Shaofu on weekdays, so it is also appropriate that you are not very clear about the reasons for this, and sit down first, and wait for the concubine to listen carefully to Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Liu Chan heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, the entry of this Shaofu is in the hands of the queen on weekdays, and the affairs of the Shaofu are also the queen's ideas.

He has needs on weekdays, just stretch out his hand with the queen, anyway, the queen gave him the ticket, only more, not less.

Zhang Xingcai helped Liu Chan take off his coat and poured him another bowl of hot tea, then sat down opposite and said, "At the beginning of last year, Feng Mingwen resigned from the position of Hanzhong Metallurgical Supervisor, and Jiang Bin, the son of Jiang Wan, who joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion, filled this position, does Your Majesty remember?" ”

Liu Chan nodded, "Naturally, I remember." ”

"This Jiang Bin entered Hanzhongye, and he was still safe at first. But in June last year, a new arsenal was set up in Hanzhong, and at the same time, the Hanzhong government asked Hanzhong Metallurgical to help build weapons. ”

"That Jiang Bin has a relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion and is familiar with the Hanzhong Taishou Ma Tan, so he took advantage of this to gain momentum, and took the opportunity to transfer many craftsmen to build weapons for the Hanzhong arsenal, even if he was the superintendent Huo Yi, he could help him."

Liu Chan was taken aback when he heard this, "In this way, isn't this matter related to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" How good is that? ”

"Hanzhongye is the royal Hanzhongye, not the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Zhang Xingcai said dissatisfiedly, "It's not that concubines don't think about state affairs, but there must be a rule for everything." If you want to call Hanzhongye for state affairs, as long as you say it to the royal family, the concubine will not say a word of dissent. ”

"But this Jiang Bin, who is far away from the Prime Minister's Mansion and close to the Hanzhong Mansion, and also presses Huo Yi in the name of state affairs, and calls the craftsmen of Hanzhong Metallurgical without authorization, how can he do things like this?"

"Today, he can call a craftsman without authorization, and he will dare to do other things if he can't say anything, so this matter must be investigated to the end."

Zhang Xingcai's eyes flashed with a decisive light, and he said decisively.

The Prime Minister's Mansion can suppress the royal family, that is a matter between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the royal family, but what does this have to do with others?

If it weren't for Jiang Bin's starting point for the sake of national affairs, Zhang Xingcai would have wanted to make a move a long time ago.

As soon as Liu Chan heard that this matter also involved the Prime Minister's Mansion, he already had the heart to retreat, but when he heard Zhang Xingcai's words, he felt justified.

That's right, what if one day, he transferred Hanzhongye's money and grain to the Taishou Mansion?

Thinking of this, the little fat man suddenly had the courage to do so, "Yes, you have to check it hard!" ”

Then he humbly asked, "But how should this matter be investigated?" ”

Zhang Xingcai smiled confidently, "This matter is a matter between the Shaofu and the Yueshan Taishou Mansion, and when the time comes, tell the father, and the palace will directly send someone to Hanzhong to supervise it." ”

"Doesn't Feng Mingwen want to be held accountable, then let him take some more accounts from the Nanxiang Academy and check the account books together."

When it comes to checking accounts, the account room from Nanxiang School is definitely a first-class talent.

If it's not a matter of accounting, it's even simpler, just follow the words engraved on the handle of the knife to find the person in charge of building and supervising the production, and no one can run away.

As for how the Prime Minister's Mansion will deal with it, then you have to go to Yue Shan Taishou Mansion, which has little to do with the palace.

After all, the palace wants to give Feng Langjun an explanation!

Some people may think that Feng Yong has been away from Nanxiang for so long, and even has stayed away from Jincheng and went to Yuecheng to take office, and his influence on Nanxiang will be weakened, but Zhang Xingcai will never think so.

Because only a few people know that in Nanxiang County, the Imperial Palace, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is the same plan, called "Nanxiang Five-Year People's Livelihood Test".

It is compiled by Feng Yong himself, which talks about the development direction of Nanxiang in the five years from the third year of Jianxing to the seventh year of Jianxing.

At the same time, the plan will be supplemented with new content according to the actual situation, but the general direction is correct.

So in fact, today's Nanxiang is supported by the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Nanxiang faction headed by Feng Yong, and at the same time tries its best to maintain its stability.

Nanxiang's problem, if the Prime Minister's Mansion thinks there is a problem, Feng Yong thinks there is no problem, then there is no problem, if you have doubts, you can ask Feng Yong.

If the palace thinks there is a problem, and Feng Yong thinks there is no problem, then it is still no problem, and if you have any questions, you can ask Feng Yong.

But if Feng Yong feels that there is a problem, whether the Prime Minister's Mansion and the palace feel that there is a problem or not, then there must be a problem.

Because of a place like Nanxiang, where demons are rampant, except for Feng Yong, no one can know what it will develop into in the end.

However, it is not only extremely important to the imperial court, but also indispensable to the imperial palace.

Today's output in Nanxiang is enough to support all the salaries of court officials, and at the same time, it also supports the expenses of the palace, and even has enough profits and dividends to each family.

That's a very big deal.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Huangzhuang wanted to supply pasture grass for the pasture, even if he lost the 100,000 fields, Zhang Xingcai would not be distressed, but if the dividends of the ranch workshop were cut off, then Zhang Xingcai would never agree.

What's more, there are nearly 30,000 workers and their families in the workshop, ranch and mine, plus the people who rely on Nanxiang for their livelihood, the number has to be doubled.

And that's not even counting the slave laborers who weren't naturalized.

If something really goes wrong in Nanxiang, if one is not careful, tens of thousands of landless and propertyless people will emerge overnight, and the bad consequences will not even be comparable to the civil unrest in ten Guanghan counties, which is definitely a nightmare in Hanzhong.

The soldiers who came out of Nanxiang are elite soldiers, so the rebels who came out of Nanxiang are also inevitably elite rebels - I heard that Nanxiang can even ban women and children, what is this not an elite rebel?

And that's not even counting the parties who have an intricate relationship with Nango.

So even if he is like a prime minister, he has not tried to change his mind until he is forced to do so, at most, that is, to limit it slightly.

For example, take out some of the elite soldiers.

"But if you do this, will it make your father unhappy?"

Liu Chan asked with some hesitation.

"The concubine just wants to investigate Han Zhongye, especially Feng Mingwen's accountability, not for anything else. If the palace doesn't give Feng Langjun an explanation, will he have to take this responsibility? ”

"In this matter, even if Father Xiang has an opinion, then he should go to Feng Langjun, what's the use of looking for us?"

Zhang Xingcai smiled indifferently, "Besides, Feng Langjun also said on the official document that this Yue Taishou Mansion entrusted Hanzhong Metallurgical to build weapons, not only the knife is not good, but also the progress of a year is not good." ”

According to the concubine, Feng Langjun was also dissatisfied with the speed of Hanzhongye's construction, so he took advantage of the attack. So why don't we go with the flow? ”

"That's good, that's good." Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time said happily, "Then it is really necessary to investigate, otherwise once the father is ...... Cough, cough, the entry in the palace will be reduced by half. ”

Zhang Xingcai: ......

In the end, the queen could only rub her forehead, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty...... There is a point in that. ”

The news was transmitted back to Shaofu, and the people in Shaofu, who were secretly worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he had a mind that turned quickly, and said, "This Hanzhongye should have been checked a long time ago." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood, "That's right, that's right,
