"Mountain chief, Jin Wanfu has been taken away by the people of Dali Temple, according to investigation, he knew that Zhang Xiongfei borrowed money to hoard grain and raise the price of grain, but he still chose to lend, because he received two beautiful orchids sent by Zhang Xiongfei, the two orchids have been dismissed, and the six thousand guan that Jin Wanfu lent to Zhang Xiongfei have also been recovered, I asked people to send a letter back to the headquarters of Yanhuang Qianzhuang quickly, and transferred a gentleman from Shuangxin to Xinfeng County to serve as the treasurer of Qianzhuang~!"

On the ridge outside Liyang County, Li Ke came to Li Zexuan's side and arched his hand.

They spent the night in Weinan County after exterminating locusts yesterday, and set off at dawn this morning, and are exterminating locusts in Liyang County at this time, along the way, they have borrowed more than 20,000 chickens in Xinfeng County, and more than 10,000 chickens in Weinan County, and the people of Liyang County have spontaneously begun to send their captive chickens to the county government after seeing the "Datang Daily" today, and it is expected that Li Zexuan will be able to "absorb" 20,000 chickens after they finish killing locusts!

This is the snowball effect, the Tianji Brigade is like a snowball, the affected states and counties in Guanzhong not only eliminated the locusts, but also continued to absorb the chickens sent by the people along the way, its strength is also growing!

"The more fertile the soil, the easier it is to breed corruption! Yanhuang Qianzhuang manages countless silver coins, and the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang is a fat difference in the eyes of countless people, today we can sanction a Jin Wanfu, but there will be hundreds of thousands of Jin Wanfu in the future, how should you deal with Xiao Ke when the time comes? ”

Li Zexuan turned around, looked at Li Ke with a faint gaze and said.

When Li Ke heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he agreed with the first half of what Li Zexuan said, but how to solve this problem, he really didn't think about it, after being silent for a while, Li Ke arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the mountain chief to teach me~!" ”

Li Zexuan sighed, and said with a negative hand: "We can't always find a corrupt money shopkeeper and punish one, you and I don't have that time, this is like Your Majesty and the court officials, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities on weekdays, how can you have time to investigate whether the civil and military officials below are corrupt?" But is my Datang corrupt officials rampant because of this?

No! Because the imperial court has a royal history platform, there are dozens of imperial historians who are meticulously exercising the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials! Therefore, Weishi believes that Yanhuang Qianzhuang also needs a self-monitoring department within the bank, which is specially used to monitor whether there is corruption in various places! In this way, it is possible to put an end to the continuous appearance of people like Jin Wanfu! ”

In fact, he thought about this problem as early as the beginning of the establishment of the bank, but at the beginning, the scale of the bank was only limited to Yunshan, so he did not worry much about corruption. Later, Yanhuang Qianzhuang was recognized by Li Er and the courtiers, and was attached to the household department, and after it completely became a "state-owned" big money village, it opened a road of rapid expansion!

Under the rapid expansion of anything, there will be a lot of hidden dangers, the same is true of Yanhuang Qianzhuang, Jin Wanfu is just the tip of the iceberg, Li Zexuan believes that now in the Yanhuang Qianzhuang in Datang counties, there must be many scum like Jin Wanfu who abuse power for personal gain and corruption!

Obviously, this cannot completely solve the problem, and only by perfecting the existing system and preventing the recurrence of this phenomenon from the system can we solve the problem correctly!

When Li Ke heard this, he suddenly realized: "The mountain is long! When the locust extermination operation was over, Ke returned to Chang'an to gather people and set up a supervision department in Yanhuang Qianqian Qianzhuang to regularly check the accounts of the county money villages, and from time to time sent supervision officials to the localities to assess whether the local money bank treasurers had any illegal things! ”

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's the best!" Otherwise, there are more people like Jin Wanfu and others, which will not only cause heavy losses to Qianzhuang economically, but also make Qianzhuang's reputation among the people plummet! ”

Speaking of this, a trace of anger flashed on Li Zexuan's face, "Hmph! colluded with grain merchants and raised grain prices, fortunately, this matter did not make a big fuss, but was strangled in the cradle in time, otherwise we Yanhuang Qianzhuang would be shouted and beaten by everyone in the people! Xiao Ke, immediately made Jin Wanfu's example a typical example, and issued an internal official notice in Yanhuang Qianzhuang, so that all the money bank shopkeepers could take it as a warning, otherwise he would be like Jin Wanfu, not only ruined, but also imprisoned! ”

Yanhuang Qianzhuang was founded by Li Zexuan, and when he saw someone ruining his hard work, of course he was heartbroken, of course he was angry!

Li Ke's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Rest assured, the internal official document students have been sent out yesterday, and the shopkeepers of each money bank should receive it in the next few days~!" In addition, what should be the name of the internal supervision department of our money bank? ”

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said, "The money village involves gold and silver money, so let's call them Jinyiwei!" Jin Yiwei must not only have civilian personnel who are good at investigating and analyzing accounts, but also have military personnel who are good at arresting and fighting. ”

"This....!"

Li Ke opened his mouth a little in surprise when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Li Zexuan to play so big, "Mountain Chief, this matter involves martial arts, I'm afraid I have to get my father's permission to continue to advance!" ”

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's nature!" Yanhuang Qianzhuang is at best an economic and financial institution, of course, it does not have the power to set up an armed force, but it is precisely because Qianzhuang is a financial institution that it needs to have a strong force to ensure its internal and external security, so this matter is handed over to Xiao Ke You to ask Your Majesty! In the future, Jinyiwei must not only be able to find out the corruption scum inside the bank, but also protect the money bank from being violated by external lawbreakers! ”

He is definitely not trying to spoof this Jinyiwei, Yanhuang Qianzhuang's daily cash flow is very considerable, money can move people's hearts, everyone likes money, people inside Qianzhuang may think about embezzling money, and lawbreakers outside Qianzhuang may want to come to Qianzhuang to grab money, if you don't prevent it as soon as possible, something will definitely happen one day!

For example, modern banks not only have the CBRC to supervise and manage banks, financial asset management companies, trust and investment companies and other depository financial institutions, but also bank security to protect the safety of banks! Yanhuang Qianzhuang is similar to a modern bank, and of course it also needs corresponding supervision and security departments!

When Li Ke heard this, he pondered seriously in his heart for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "What the mountain chief said is reasonable, after we return to Chang'an, Ke will personally explain this matter to his father!" ”

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Hmm! The first priority is to exterminate the locusts first! The scale of the Tianji Brigade is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Ke, you have to do a good job of overall coordination, arrange tasks for each team in advance, and ensure that we can exterminate locusts faster and faster, otherwise the chickens lent to us by the people will not be borrowed in vain? ”

For the Tianji Brigade, the increase in the number of chickens is not entirely a good thing, and the expansion of the scale will become more demanding for the commander! For example, before letting a team of 5,000 chickens kill locusts in 1,000 acres of fertile land in half a day, but now the total number of chickens has increased, and each team will get more chickens.

And the current actual commander of the Tianji Brigade is actually Li Ke, so Li Zexuan said so.

Li Ke solemnly arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the mountain chief will definitely weigh all factors and assign tasks to each team!" ”

"Hmmm! So the best! After exterminating the locusts for a while, we made a little preparation and went directly to the next county, Jingyang County, and asked the county commander of Liyang County to send the chickens lent to us by the people in a while! ”

"Yes! Mountain Chief! ”

...........................................

On the first day of the "expedition", the Tianji Brigade wiped out locusts in two counties, and the size of the chicken flock grew to 350,000!

On the second day of the "expedition" of the Tianji Brigade, the locusts in two and a half counties were eliminated, and the reason why it was said to be two and a half counties was because the locusts in the third county were only half cleared, and the sky was dark, and Li Zexuan and his party had to stay in the local area, and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue to exterminate the locusts, and on that day, the size of the chicken flock grew to 410,000!

On the third day of the "expedition", the Tianji Brigade wiped out locusts in three counties, and the size of the chicken flock grew to 470,000!

At noon on the fourth day, after the Tianji Brigade finished eliminating the locusts in Xianyang County, the Tianji Brigade composed of 500,000 chickens was divided into two routes, 200,000 chickens were led by Li Zexuan and set off to the west, and the other 300,000 chickens were led by Li Ke and Cheng Chumo to the east, along the Yellow River, all the way to eliminate the locusts in various affected states and counties!

The people in the disaster area, who were in despair and helplessness because of the locust plague, instantly ignited their endless fighting spirit, and the affected states and counties in the entire Guanzhong region have set off a vigorous disaster relief operation!

At the same time, various departments of the imperial court have already taken action, and the Twelve Roads Supervision Imperial History was sent by Li Er to the twelve states affected by the disaster to conduct official inspections, focusing on those officials who failed to provide disaster relief and even took advantage of the locust plague to make a lot of money!

And behind each patrol of the imperial history is a long grain transport team, some of which even use the power of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which can be regarded as the second fair and honest official and business cooperation in the history of the Tang Dynasty (the first time was last year when the imperial court sent a fleet south to exchange grain, among which many private businessmen participated).

As for the source of these grains, they all come from the largest granary in Chang'an City, Taicang, which is regarded as the royal granary, and its main function is for the royal family's consumption, rewards, officials' salaries, military quarters, and government accounts. Although Taicang's main function is to serve the ruling center, it also has some positive effects. For example, whenever there is a famine, Taicang will take out grain to supplement the standing position, curb the soaring price of grain, and sell some grain at a low price to help the victims.

Last year, the imperial court sent a fleet south to exchange grain, and directly filled Taicang, and now Taicang has 600,000 stone grain, and Luoyang's Hanjiacang is stored with millions of stone grain, it can be said that the current Datang has enough confidence to deal with this locust plague!

Due to the beginning of the locust plague, the effect of food shortage in various places has not yet had time to appear, the imperial court will transport a part of the grain to various states and counties, mainly to tell the affected people in the Guanzhong area that the imperial court has the strength and ability to help them tide over the difficulties, in the face of this kind of big natural disaster, sometimes you say 10,000 words, it is better to take out the rice with white flowers to make the people more down-to-earth!

Therefore, the grain in Taicang is not only for disaster relief, but also for stabilizing the people's hearts and stabilizing food prices!

Li Er not only wants to stabilize food prices in words, but also in action!

................................

On the evening of the fifth day of the Tianji Brigade's "expedition", Li Zexuan and his party arrived in Yongxian County, and Li Zexuan finally met his old friend after a long absence, Wang Renbiao!

"Huh! After nearly half a year of farewell to Xiao Xuan, I never thought that you and I would meet again in this situation. ”

At the end of last year, Li Er issued an order to appoint Wang Renbiao as the assassin of Qizhou, and ordered him to go to Qizhou at the beginning of this year.

Qizhou, which belongs to Gyeonggi Province, is also known as Fengxiang Mansion, with nine counties under its jurisdiction, and the governance office is in Yongxian County, where Li Zexuan and they are now!

"Natural disasters should be sad for the people, and we should be happy for friends when we meet, there is no conflict between the two!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said.

Wang Renbiao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Xuan, you are still as cheerful and open-minded as before!" ”

After sighing, his face suddenly turned solemn, he bowed solemnly, and said: "Today, I am a brother who is a stabbing history, on behalf of 400,000 people in Qizhou, welcome Xiaoxuan, your Tianji Brigade to arrive~!" ”

Li Zexuan hurriedly helped him up and said, "You and my brother, why be polite!" Besides, locust extermination and disaster relief is originally the responsibility of the Tianji Brigade, we are just exterminating the locusts in accordance with the route formulated before departure, even if you are not the history of Qizhou Thorn, the Tianji Brigade will come to Qizhou to go for a while~! ”

Wang Renbiao shook his head and said, "No matter what, I have to support Xiaoxuan's affection!" After a long journey, Xiao Xuan, you must be tired, come back to the assassination mansion with me to rest! ”

Li Zexuan thought about it and refused: "No, it's important to exterminate locusts!" In fact, I wasn't very tired all the way, after all, I have martial arts, and the most tired are these children! ”

Wang Renbiao couldn't help but look at the children in the field who were holding megaphones and directing the chickens to march, all of them sweating like rain. But they were all enthusiastic, which made him can't help but sigh with emotion: "Lantian County is really outstanding, with Xiaoxuan, you are a virtuous and knowledgeable Hou Ye, these children will definitely be able to have a good future in the future!" I've got meat, throat soup and soup ready to relieve the heat, so how about I treat the children to this dinner tonight? ”

"This ......"

Li Zexuan just wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Leng Yuyao next to him:

"Master Hou, don't refuse! After my son-in-law learned that you were going to Qizhou today, he began to send people to prepare these things yesterday, Yuyao knows that you are not short of these food money, but my son-in-law also wants to do his best, you will be fulfilled! ”

Li Zexuan was helpless, thought for a moment, and had to nod and agree: "That's good!" Let Renbiao break your bill~! In fact, Renbiao, you are now a state assassin, and you should focus on official business, and you don't have to go out of the city to meet us in person! ”

Wang Renbiao laughed and said, "Xiao Xuan, you and my brother, why be polite!" ”

The same words, but with different answers, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

"That's fine! I'm not going to be polite to you~! Twenty watermelons for the kids tonight! ”

"Haha! No problem! I'm going to send someone to buy it! ”
