Chapter 224: The Situation Is Erosive
Chapter 224: The Situation Is Erosive
Sun Chengzong quickly found Tiemo, a square table, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Rhett, things are almost over, it's time to stop, according to the old man, those people have also learned a lesson. The most important thing is that it will not be good for anyone to make trouble any longer, the situation in Shaanxi is getting more and more chaotic, Yang He has sent several letters to urge the troops, it seems that he is really a little unable to hold on. ”
"Well, what the teacher said is very true, the student will be withdrawn tomorrow. However, the things stolen by Taiyuan Mansion must also be returned, otherwise the students will not be able to explain to those merchants. ”
Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, "You can rest assured about this, how much you took before and how much you returned." ”
The teacher and student chatted happily, but no one expected that something that should have gone smoothly would go wrong again. According to Sun Chengzong's meaning, both sides took a step back, and when nothing happened, this matter was covered up, and the court tried to find a way to cover it up and give the people an explanation.
But who would have thought that there would be another moth on the Taiyuan Mansion. Before, taking the opportunity of forced requisition, the people of Taiyuan Mansion scraped things in the hands of Jin merchants, and now the court admits it, and everyone returns to be safe, but something happened when they returned the things.
A large part of the porcelain and silk confiscated before has been resold and exchanged for cash. Of course, reselling these things and exchanging them for cash is not to rush to Shaanxi for disaster relief, but to facilitate the pockets of private individuals.
This kind of thing is normal, confiscate the materials, resell them as soon as possible and exchange them for cash, so as not to have many dreams at night, after all, there is nothing to hold safely. This time, Taiyuan Mansion did the same. Converted into cash, most of the officials from all sides are greedy for ink, and the rest is handed over to the imperial court to make disaster relief silver, which is very good, but now let the things be returned, what to return?
This kind of thing is understood by everyone in the officialdom, but it is not enough to be humane to outsiders. If this kind of thing is said, it won't become a laughing stock?
It is said that if there is no thing, it is okay to pay back the money, but this matter cannot be repaid directly, and if you pay back the money, then you have to explain where the materials went, right? Do you want to tell everyone that Taiyuan Mansion has sold the materials? Moreover, there is a big problem, two large parts of the silver obtained after reselling have already gone into the private pockets of officials, and it is too difficult to let them spit it out.
Gao Jie's life is very difficult, and it can be said that his head is about to explode when he thinks about things. What the hell does the cabinet eat? said that he confessed to cowardice, so what should he do here in Taiyuan Mansion?
Gao Jie knew very well about the matter of greedy ink, although he didn't take the silver, half of the people under his hands had eaten the benefits, and the most important thing was that the governor Geng Ruqi also ate a copy, and some of it was sent to the capital and reserved for the ministers of the court.
The money is gone, the materials are gone, and now I want to return the materials, what to pay back?
Gao Jie has been trying to procrastinate, trying his best to cover this matter. But how can there be an impermeable wall in the world? In two days, no matter how complicated the procedures are, it is time to see the supplies. The anxious Jin merchants tried their best to inquire, and soon got the news, and now, the Jin merchants went crazy directly.
It's only been a few days, and the materials have been resold by Taiyuan Mansion, and the materials are gone, what will Taiyuan Mansion take?
The Jin merchants directly found Chang Yinxu, hoping that Chang Yinxu would send a letter to Tiemo, hoping that General Tie would be able to call the shots for the Jin merchants who had suffered heavy losses.
......
Zhang Bei, Tiemo was hiding under the corridor, teasing the cuteness on the steps with Nunu, and the two of them were having a lot of fun.
Zhou Dingshan hurriedly walked in, and when he saw him, Tiemo couldn't help but look up and said, "Hey, didn't you let you stay in Yuci County, why did you come back?" ”
"Brother Tie, there's something wrong over there" Zhou Dingshan squatted down and handed Chang Yinxu's handwritten letter to Tiemo. After reading the letter, Tiemo's eyes widened and his head buzzed. Within a few days, Taiyuan Mansion sold the stolen materials, and the money was missing.
Missing? I want to know where the money went.
Tiemo was suddenly furious, and went to the back hall in a huff, and after finding Sun Chengzong, he put the letter on the table, and then sat next to him and gasped.
"Teacher, look at it, this is what those people do."
"Huh? What makes you so angry? Sun Chengzong originally had a little smile on his face, but when he saw half of it, his old face was cold, and he took the case, "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." ”
Officials are greedy for ink, this kind of thing is commonplace, and Sun Chengzong will not be angry because of this. But this time, the gang of people in Taiyuan Mansion did too much, and the tax collection was not over yet, so they resold the materials first, so they were in such a hurry to make money?
Investigate corruption? No play, it is estimated that there are few innocent people in Taiyuan Mansion, from the governor of Shanxi to the stewards below, I am afraid that most of them will take advantage.
The current situation is really a little stiff, Rao is Sun Chengzong is well-informed, and he is a little unruly, "Hey, the money that those people swallowed is definitely not willing to spit it out, Rhett, what do you think?" ”
"According to the temper of the students, if you don't fix them, this matter is not over. However, the situation in Shaanxi is urgent, and the students don't want to waste more time with them, but someone has to make up for the losses of those Jin merchants, and they can't share the spoils and let the students make up for this hole, right? ”
The more Tiemo talked, the more angry he became, just these bastards, he still loves the country and the people every day, and he prides himself on being a righteous man and a gentleman, honest and honest.
They are all a group of people who sell their fame and reputation, but what they do is not human. Of course, this can't be blamed entirely on them, if it weren't for the extermination of the eunuch party and no worries, this group of people would not have been emboldened to this extent.
No matter how difficult things are, there is always a solution, and sometimes Tiemo has to admire these people's brains. In just half a day, Taiyuan Mansion came up with a way to compensate the three salt wells to the Jin merchants, which was considered an exchange, and the most ridiculous thing was that these three salt wells were also taken from the salt merchants before.
The three salt wells are not a loss, and the Jin merchants can only admit it.
......
At the end of September, the imperial court finally scraped together some money and grain to send to Shaanxi, and at the same time, Xuanfu and Datong also sent some soldiers and horses to go.
At this time, the situation in Shaanxi has been eroded to the point of being out of control, there is not an inch of place to live in the whole northern Shaanxi, and in the south, the peasant army besieged Xi'an Mansion, if it were not for Cao Wenzhao leading his troops to resist the attack of Wang's main force, Xi'an Mansion would have been broken long ago.
Everyone's attention is on Shaanxi, but what Tiemo is really worried about is not here.
Compared with the civil unrest in Shaanxi, the threat of the Later Jin Emperor Taiji is greater.
Liaodong, Horqin Department.
Buhe patiently read the letter in his hand, and sat his son Wu Keshan at the bottom.
Before, her daughter Hai Lanzhu lost her trace on the grassland, and she searched in many ways, but there was no gain, but now she received a handwritten letter from Hai Lanzhu.
After reading it repeatedly, Bu He can confirm that this letter is definitely written by Hai Lanzhu himself.
The handwriting can be imitated, but the secret note at the end of the letter that belongs to Hai Lanzhu alone cannot be impersonated.
Hai Lanzhu, she is actually in Zhangbei!
