Chapter 269: The Accounts That Shocked Chen Xiao
Speaking of the Arsenal Division, the emperor frowned slightly and said:
"It's not that I suspect it, but that my people have found out that the Arsenal Division, some people are corrupt, and in the production of weapons and weapons, they deduct silver taels, eat kickbacks, etc."
Chen Xiaowen became serious and said:
"This arsenal is about the weapons of the state, about the weapons, about the quality of war. If the Arsenal Division is corrupt and does not control the quality of weapons, it is really a big problem! ”
The emperor nodded: "I know that you guy likes to do things, no, I will arrange you to go to the military department." You don't want to fight with a few of my princes, and do your business in the military department! ”
Chen Xiao was not happy about this, and said, "What do you mean that I am fighting with your son? They're provoking me one by one, what can I do? ”
The emperor opened his mouth, was speechless for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "Forget it, I won't talk to you." ”
Then he looked at a eunuch: "What about the ninth princess?" Call, eat, urge the imperial dining room to hurry up! ”
The eunuch hurried away.
After a while, the ninth princess came, so the three of them ate together.
During this time, Long Jiuling was still quite happy, because the Ministry of Rites was indeed choosing the day of the wedding, obviously, the matter with Chen Xiao was almost a certainty.
I had a good meal.
At the end, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling went to the Nine Heavens Hall to talk a lot, and then left!
When I left, I saw the Seven Princes again.
These seven princes are now convinced by Chen Xiao, and they think about hugging Chen Xiao's thighs every day.
Although Chen Xiao also had no ill will towards him, he was also annoyed.
So when you see him coming, turn around and hurry away!
After leaving the palace and going to the military department, he returned directly to his squire's office.
Inside, there are countless paperwork piled up.
He stretched his waist and went over to take a closer look, all of which were some important documents and materials under the Ministry of War and the Department of War.
After spending a quick time reading it, Chen Xiao asked people to take it all.
Then he commanded: "Put ...... Some items of the Arsenal Division, bring them to this officer! ”
"Yes........."
The little official hurriedly left!
After a while, he came back and said to Chen Xiao:
"My lord, said Mukushiro...... Say this...... The accounts have not yet been verified, and now, it is not yet time for the official to check! ”
Chen Xiao frowned: "Not approved?" It's not time for Shangguan to check? ”
Immediately, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "This official wants to spot check, can't he?" ”
"This ...... If the Arsenal Division doesn't give it, the small ones can't help it! "The little official is embarrassed!
Chen Xiao snorted coldly, thinking to himself that this Arsenal Division, it seems that there is really something wrong.
Then he got up and said, "Then the official will go in person!" ”
As he spoke, he led the little official and headed towards the Arsenal Division.
The Arsenal Division is on the east side of the military headquarters, and there is a special division hall for office!
After Chen Xiao arrived, he stood at the door and looked inside, and saw that the chief of the Arsenal Division, Arsenal Division, was sorting out the accounts unhurriedly!
Chen Xiao walked in and said lightly:
"Mukushiro, I heard that you don't let this official look at the account books?"
Muku Shirozhong's face changed slightly, and when he saw Chen Xiao, he quickly got up and came over to salute:
"I've seen my lord, my lord, it's not that the lower officials don't let the adults see the account books, but the account books are still being verified, and some of the accounts in them are still problematic, and when the lower officials are approved, there is no problem, and then give it to you!"
Chen Xiao sneered: "There's no problem, the official still looks at what it does!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mukushi Lang was stunned for a moment, and thought, this newly appointed squire, is it just to look at Mukushi's accounts?
There are two problems with the accounts of the Arsenal Division!
One is that the accounts have not yet been approved, so the accounts look messy, and there will be many things that look problematic.
Second, there is the problem that the accounts themselves cannot be verified.
Because, but, Mukushi Shiro does a little bit of tricks in the east and a little bit of tricks in the west, and if it is verified, there will be no problem!
The former is a workflow issue and is not serious.
The latter is also a huge problem of its own!
And what Chen Xiao wants to see is the problem of the latter!
Muku Shiro looked at Chen Xiao and said, "This...... Adult ......"
"Stop talking nonsense, get the accounts out!" Chen Xiao opened his mouth undoubtedly!
"My lord, this unapproved account is very messy......" Mukushiro still wants to refuse!
Chen Xiao was no longer patient, stared at Muku Shiro and said:
"You don't understand what this official said? Take out the accounts, if they are not verified, the official will personally approve! ”
"This ...... This ...... "Muku Shirou is still hesitating!
Chen Xiao completely lost his patience, his face was furious, and he scolded: "Bold, don't hurry up!" ”
Muku Shirozhong's face was ugly, and he had no choice but to take out some accounts, tremble his hands, and hand them to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao snorted, and the little officials behind him closed the accounts, and then Chen Xiao left!
Namuku Shiro swallowed and said to himself, "This account...... You can't find the problem, do you...... If you really find ......"
He was silent for a while, and snorted: "If you really find out, it will be your death, I don't dare to do anything to you, but ...... Huh! ”
With that, he turned around, returned to his seat, took his pen, and wrote down a letter.
Roughly wrote out that Chen Xiao suddenly wanted to see the accounts of the Arsenal Division!
Then go out cautiously and let people leave with the letter secretly!
……
After returning to the room where the squire was working, Chen Xiao opened the accounts!
This is the account of the Arsenal Division for the year of the production of weapons, armor, etc.
Last year's has already been handed in, and this year's is still early before the end of the year, so it is only bookkeeping, and it is not even approved.
Chen Xiao calmed down and carefully began to look at the accounts, from the accounts at the beginning of the year, one by one, on the other hand, each expense generated in the accounts was recorded separately, and calculated according to the month.
All afternoon, I was doing this.
After the release, Chen Xiao even went home with the accounts.
These accounts are very important, and he will not put them in the yamen easily.
The reason is simple!
Because I have been accounting for two months' worth of accounts in one afternoon, I have found that there are many of them, and none of them are correct.
These accounts are very secretive, and where there is a problem in the account, it is ostensibly filled in from another account.
Other accounts are filled in from other accounts, and the various demolitions of the east wall and the west wall of the problematic accounts seem to be very messy, as if the accounts are very correct.
However, Chen Xiao is a modern person after all, and he is ready to take the time to read the accounts, finish them, and pick out the accounts of the above records to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, but to see if the wall is really filled.
However, after a few days, he figured it out.
The confusion of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall in the accounts is very good.
However, not a single wall has been filled.
Chen Xiao simply calculated, in the past half a year, there are about 10 million taels of silver, and it can't be calculated!
Shocked, he put down the account and said:
"What an arsenal division, for most of the year, there are more than 10 million taels of silver in the accounts? The point is, on the surface, these accounts are really fine.
If they wait for their own verification, I'm afraid they won't be able to see the slightest clue. Merely...... How dare Mukushiro embezzle so much? Even the entire military department wouldn't dare to embezzle so much, right? ”
He thought about it carefully and felt that there were big people involved behind this!
