Chapter 325: The First Battle of the Great Song Dynasty Against Corruption
Zhao Zhen, as a later generation, was quite disgusted with corruption, and he knew that this was the root cause of a country's decline, and when the people of a country lost faith in the officials who led them, or ruled them, it would have an immeasurable impact on the country.
The harm caused by corruption to the people of the country is almost several times or even dozens of times that caused by war!
For Liu Yong, who is far away in Zhending Mansion, Zhao Zhen is still confident, although he used to be uninhibited, but after Cai Boyu's first drink, he can take this hard-won dispatch seriously.
With the name of champion, he is not a straw bag after all.
Under the leadership of the Cao family's housekeeper, Liu Yong looked at the grain being loaded, and his heart was completely settled, as long as there is the Cao family's food, the snow disaster problem in Zhending Mansion can be solved, everyone knows that food is the best thing to calm people's hearts.
The ox cart, food, including the helpers are all from the Cao family, and even the guards are the help of the Cao family, Mrs. Han said with the help of Liu Yong on crutches: "The people under your hands are not comfortable to use now, the good people of the Cao family are doing it to send the Buddha to the west, and send you a few veterans to help, but remember to return it when you run out!" ”
Liu Yong clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Thank you for the kindness of the old lady, you can get the help of the Cao family, Liu Yong is grateful, all the seniors have worked hard!" ”
Seeing Liu Yong sitting in the carriage and leaving, Mrs. Han frowned slightly: "This Liu Sanbian is not easy to get along!" ”
The big housekeeper beside him said with a smile: "The little one thinks that this Liu Zhuangyuan is not worthy of his name, Mrs. Tai said it so clearly, he Liu Yong still doesn't know what to do, as long as he takes refuge in my Cao family, he can't help him with anything, it's really an elm head." ”
Mrs. Han glanced at the housekeeper: "You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, Wei'er wrote that today's court is different from the original, and it is difficult for the officials who want to win over these officials to reach the sky, and they will no longer be captured like before." ”
The housekeeper nodded again and again and said, "No, I heard that there were a few thorns and some old ministers in the face." ”
Mrs. Han sneered: "Do you think this is what those new officials dare to do? If there is no official order behind them, where will they have the courage!? ”
The chief butler was surprised: "Could it be that the official family ordered it?" But why did the officials do this? How can new officials have the convenience of old ministers? ”
Mrs. Han turned around and walked towards the garden with the support of the maid: "This is to train newcomers to fight with old ministers, and the first emperor also used this trick back then, otherwise with Zhao Pu's prosperity, there is still a chance for Kou Zhun to pay homage to the prime minister?" This time, our Cao family should be careful, inform Wei'er, no matter what, don't have any conflicts with the official family in terms of employing people, otherwise the right of my disciples to be generals is likely to be withdrawn, and the opportunity of the Military Academy cannot be lost! ”
The big butler replied with a shocked face: "The little one will go to the big master!" ”
Mrs. Cao's words are not wrong at all, Zhao Zhen is planning to inject more fresh blood into the court, he began to distrust some of the courtiers left by his father, and he was better before, but in the matter of closing the position in Zhending Mansion, Zhao Zhen found many drawbacks.
Sun Weigui is the transfer envoy of Hebei West Road, and he is the highest chief executive all the way, and his high treatment and status are completely unnecessary to do things that are corrupt and pervert the law in foreign countries, but he still can't resist the temptation of money, this kind of insatiable desire makes Zhao Zhen feel deeply disgusted.
That's why Zhao Zhen will secretly order Liu Yong to privately collect Sun Wei's illegal evidence, as long as Sun Wei can find out that Sun Wei privately called Chang to close the position, the rest of the guilt will surface, Zhao Zhen does not believe that a Sun Wei can cover the sky on the huge Hebei West Road, and there must be other officials' cover and benefit transfer, Lu Weiyuan is one of them.
A group of officials who were originally waiting to see the joke saw Liu Yong sitting on the Cao family's ox cart and slowly come over, the smile on their faces that was originally watching the show stiffened, no one expected that the Cao family not only did not give the eldest man a closed door, but even transported the grain, even the ox cart was from the Cao family, as well as those helpers and murderous veterans escorted!
This made everyone stunned, and the five bodies that they had admired in their hearts fell to the ground.
This is the Cao family, the famous Cao family!
I didn't expect the eldest master to get the help of the Cao family, it seems that his relationship in the court is not as Lu Weiyuan said, there is no foundation at all, and the group of people instantly changed their faces, and stepped forward to flatter Liu Yonglai with a smile.
Many people are already ready to defect, compared to the Cao family, Sun Wei's small transfer envoy is nothing! As long as his bottom is pierced, the court will inevitably deal with it strictly, and how can he retaliate against such a small official as them when he falls into prison?
Liu Yong looked at a group of officials who seemed to have changed as if they had changed people, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you help quickly, distribute some of the grain on the cart to our ox cart, and transport the grain back to Zhending Mansion quickly!" ”
The officials hurriedly carried the grain, and the officials took out the pen and ink they carried with them and began to record them in the account books.
Dozens of truckloads of grain piled up slowly drove into Zhending Mansion, and the people along the way instantly let go of their panic when they saw it, especially after Liu Yong announced to some old men that this was the relief food of the imperial court, everyone was even more smiling.
The price of the money for relief grain is very low, more than half of the price of grain in the past, and almost every family in the city can afford it, which is not the most happy, I heard that the grain of the imperial court has also set off from Tokyo City, all the way to support the Zhending Mansion, and the official family even promised to fill the regular closing position, in case of the next disaster!
The people happily ran to tell each other, and they were happy that naturally some people were not happy, and those grain merchants who had originally hoarded grain began to sell grain in an instant, but even so, there were many jokes to see, and few people bought.
There is no shortage of food in the city, even the Cao family has taken out the grain, and other big families are not in a hurry to follow, I heard that the Cao family got the plaque of the official family because of this time to borrow grain, which is a supreme glory, so that some big families began to follow the anxiety, and went to the government every day to look for Liu Yong, in order to donate food for free.
And Liu Yong always reluctantly agreed, he couldn't guarantee that the official family would have a reward, but there would still be a reward from the Zhending Mansion.
Liu Yong wisely ordered people to create some silver medals, and engraved the grain donated by each family on the silver medals, which is not only an official honor, but also some benefits in it, such as the family who donated a hundred taels of grain, and the tax can be reduced by a hundred years when the summer tax is paid next year.
This is quite a cost-effective deal, which is equivalent to paying taxes on grain in advance, and can also get a good reputation, and the big families with a little bit of strength do not hesitate to donate excess grain reserves, which makes the grain price in Zhending Mansion drop quickly to the level before the snow disaster, and even the regular closing position is filled.
Liu Yong smiled and smiled as he watched the little official keep recording the grain sent to Chang Ping, and now without the assistance of the imperial court, Chang Ping's grain was filled. His task in Zhending Mansion is half completed, and the rest is to collect evidence of Sun Wei's crimes.
