Volume 1 Into the Tang Chapter 53 The Second Audit

No matter how big the storm is, it can't be related to Li Chengyang, taking the gourd babies to check the accounts is what he should do now, the work enthusiasm of the gourd babies is not less than that of the previous batch of jinshi, these people are the real models who do not seek fame and fortune, and are willing to study for the rise of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengyang naturally will not participate in the statistics, his official position is to supervise the work, so don't try to manage other things beyond the level, otherwise, who will be responsible for the problems in the accounts? Turning around, from time to time to give some advice to the gourd babies, strictly speaking, these people are his apprentices, and it is human nature to mention them occasionally.

Looking at the anxious gourd babies with their hair straight at the complicated accounts, Li Chengyang pondered for a while, picked up a few account books and studied them carefully, and then took out a pen and paper to draw a table.

Complex tables can't be drawn.,The report is still proposed by him and then the big guys work together to improve it.,I also heard that there are a lot of mistakes in the actual use of the report.。

It is still a simple form, 99% of the account books are "out" and "in", and now it is also simple to count, the names of some departments are written on the head of the table, the left is out, and the right is in.

Looking at the drawn table, he nodded with satisfaction, pulled Wang Yun and a gourd baby and began to order them to draw more prominently as they were, and he himself came to the remaining six people, grouped people in twos and twos, and instructed them to read one person with the account book for a while, and the other person would use the report to write it down, and check it when one was completed, and start counting after confirming that it is correct.

The drawn form was divided, and the sound of reading sounded in the small courtyard of the household department: "The household department, into 1,300 yuan, the source is unknown, out of 1,000 yuan, distributed to the county to repair farm tools, the Ministry of Industry, out of 100 taels of silver, the monthly money of the craftsmen, income, no ......."

In this way, the efficiency is really much faster, Li Chengyang only needs to check the basic from time to time, and compare it with the original account book to check the accuracy of the department, Wang Yun even sees Li Chengyang as a celestial, how long is this person's brain, just a few pieces of paper and a few numbers, and he actually played so many tricks, is there really the existence of seven exquisite hearts?

It only took 12 days to check the accounts, and 12 days later, Li Chengyang stood in front of Li Shimin's study with a stack of forms and kept sighing, this group of gourd babies is really dying, they haven't slept for several days, and they can't be persuaded to go back, and the person who fainted in front of the bookcase will pop out after a while, and at night it will be dark to go outside the house and light a candle to continue to read and write, and they simply regard Li Shimin's order as their everything.

In such a frenzied work, coupled with Li Chengyang's opinions from time to time to increase efficiency, this completed the feat of eight people checking all the accounts in 12 days.

Feeling the result in his hand, he didn't have the heart to continue to sigh, at this moment he was holding more than a simple stack of paper, in his eyes this is the life of countless people.

Is it that serious?

That's right, there is, after rigorous calculations and statistics, except for the Ministry of Industry, which is not loved by my father, my mother, the rest of the departments have a certain amount of silver money that is not matched, adding up to about one million yuan of money I don't know where it went.

This is only what happened in the vicinity of Chang'an in the past two years, and if it spreads to the whole world, even if other areas are not as rich as Chang'an, it will definitely not be much smaller.

The scorching sun did not make Li Chengyang feel the slightest warmth, the clothes on his body were wet with cold sweat, he hesitated in front of the study door for a long time, he also had the courage to take that step, there were more people dying every day, but through his hands, it was completely because of him that I don't know how many people lost their lives, even if those people were not good people, he couldn't accept it.

However, time never waits for anyone, just in order to delay the time, let people pass the message, and now the person who passed the pass is standing in front of him urging: "Your Highness, you have been standing here for half an hour, if it drags on like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he will not be able to wait, then I will suffer, you are pitiful and pitiful, go in."

If you get out, what should happen will happen eventually, and I heard that I have to pass in front of the Three Lives Stone in hell, and summarize the crimes committed in my life, let Yama go to suffer, he just sent these people to where they should go.

Gritting his teeth and stepping into the study, Li Shimin actually didn't review the folds, but looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Father, father, this is the result of the investigation, you can take a look" handed a stack of papers forward, and he was going to stuff this life-threatening thing into Li Shimin's bad, the farther away from him, the better, and now he looks at it and makes me feel troubled.

Li Shimin didn't take it, but just asked: "Is there a Ministry of Etiquette here, is there a problem with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Criminal Department?" ”。

frowned suspiciously, I didn't know what Li Shimin meant by asking, but he still replied: "Yes, except for the Ministry of Industry, nothing has been found, and the rest of the departments have a little flaw."

With his left hand free, he used his little fingernail to compare the size of the nail cap to indicate such a large flaw.

Li Shimin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then added as if he was lost: "Oh, there is no Ministry of Industry?" Yes, I see. ”。

After closing the words, he looked at Li Chengyang's fingers and smiled: "If it is really just a little flaw as you said, then my Datang will really last forever, okay, you go down, don't run around outside these days, I still need you to do something in a few days."

Walking out of the study with a stomach full of doubts, I can't understand Li Shimin more and more, can being an emperor really make people grow up quickly? When he first came, Li Shimin gave him the impression that he was a rather strict uncle next door, although he couldn't joke around, but some words and things could still be done.

But now Li Shimin's body seems to be covered with a thin veil, even if he stands in front of him, he can't see through this person, how can people make such a big change in just one month?

There is also how much power Li Shimin has in the dark, the seven gourd babies are definitely not as simple as ordinary scholars, the degree of not wanting to die when they do their work, even Li Yi's group of dead soldiers have not done it, Li Shimin can guess the approximate result without looking at this audit, how much does he know?

With a stomach of doubts back to the side hospital, twelve days really made him tired, this time is not better than the last time with the household of the Jinshi to check the accounts, last time he didn't need to do anything, the household has been doing the audit for many years, for those who have been familiar with the road, can not use his budding new guidance.

But this audit is really different, everything used is from Li Chengyang's hands, he, the supervisor, has been dealing with all kinds of accidents, there is no time for the last time the supervisor could sleep at any time, plus the gourd babies are not afraid of death in the night battle, he feels that he has lost a lot of weight now.

When he came to the bedroom, he fell asleep at the end, not to mention that Li Shimin didn't let him run around these days, that is, Li Shimin didn't speak, and he didn't plan to go out to play anymore, checking accounts is really not something that ordinary people can do, if you don't sleep well for three days and three nights, you will be sorry for yourself.

Li Chengyang really managed to stay at home, and slept in the courtyard for three days, except for Xiao'er serving food and going to the toilet every day, he has been lying on the newly made bamboo mat.

He was comfortable, but some bad rumors began to spread in the court, I don't know who got the news, now His Royal Highness the Prince got the new report law, overjoyed, so that King Qin led a group of scholars to sort out the accounts in recent years, do not check do not know, a check is shocked, the original Tang Dynasty's tax is far more than 20 million guan, according to the data found out by the king of Qin, the sum of the silver money that is embezzled by people every year is more than 40 million.

I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious when he saw the data handed over by King Qin, and even fainted in anger, and the first thing he said after waking up was to severely punish the corrupt people, and to revive Shang Tang's cannon branding, and some said that it was the punishment of car splitting, anyway, how cruel it was, and it must not be allowed to continue to be the moth of the country.

The more the rumor spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, the more it spreads, the more widely it spreads, but it is not clear where the rumor came from, according to the unknown person, the first person to spread the word was the little eunuch who served Li Shimin in the palace, and I don't know if it is true or not, the unknown person left for Luoyang on the same day, and I don't know if I can see him in this life.

The spread of rumors became more and more intense, and even Li Chengyang in the palace heard about it from Li Gu's mouth, and there were already many people who couldn't do it anymore, and since early this morning, some people have successively carried or carried a bag of silver money to Chang'an County Ya to surrender, and at night the people in the county government have been unable to lock up, fortunately, there are no people in this group of people who have committed major crimes, and the county order selected a group of relatively less corrupt people to be released, and fined some silver money twice as a punishment, which only emptied a few of the prison cells in the county government.

Of course, Li Chengyang knew about the account check, he did it himself, as for the deficit of more than 40 million guan, it was a false rumor, adding up to more than one million guan, of course, he didn't stand up to take care of him, do the three of them become tigers, the essence of rumors is that people constantly brag about x, that is naturally more and more spreading, and after experiencing the influence of the Internet army in the previous life, the immunity to this kind of thing is invincible.

Besides, he can guess who revealed the news, after all, he is the one who personally participated in this matter, the gourd babies can be ruled out first, their stuffy gourd character and loyalty to Li Shimin, they will definitely not spread this kind of thing to the outside world, and the little old man can also rule it out, he has always been under the noses of the guards, and he will not go out, looking like he is going to die in the household.

If you exclude him, a young progressive young man, then the rest of the people will be the initiators of this rumor, and as for who is left, it is self-evident.

was sighing with emotion, someone came to deliver the message, and Li Shimin summoned him, in the study.

Got up from the bed, hastily took care of his appearance, and followed the little eunuch all the way to the study.

Li Shimin was still dealing with the twists and turns, and when he saw someone coming, he put down the pen in his hand: "Have you heard about the things outside, what do you think?" ”。

"Dad, I've heard about it, but you did it, right? Well done, I heard that the corrupt officials and corrupt officials have surrendered one after another, a good thing, but Dad, do you really plan to turn that torture out and use it again? After all, most of the people who know about this know know who did it, and there is no need to pretend to be confused in front of the father and son.

"Yes, I did it at the beginning, who knows how it will be like this, but I have done it, and it won't be long long, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials are all small heads, I am planning to do a big one, how about it, do your father a favor?" Li Shimin returned, indeed he didn't expect the rumors to be so powerful, and his plan almost ended before it started.
