Chapter 992: Cutting Flesh and Bloodletting
For a long time, Xianbei has coveted the Central Plains.
Their magnates and royal families have been learning the Chinese characters and culture of the Central Plains earlier than the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King, and they have been learning the Chinese characters and culture for several generations.
Fu Lie didn't answer, and Wen Qingzhu became more and more uneasy in his heart.
Could it be that Xianbei wants to make trouble again?
Now the greatest threat to the Qi State is the Xiongnu, Xianbei and the Xiongnu tried to join forces before, and also used Rouran.
It's a pity that Rouran is a race that can't hold up the wall in the mud, and during the Battle of Ganzhou, Fu Lie disintegrated their secret alliance.
Fu Lie told Jasmine a few words and left here.
It didn't take long for the green pottery to send back the news, saying that the Texas side had been controlled by two unknown forces.
Wen Qingzhu carefully read the letter from Lu Tao and felt that the problem was very big.
Originally, he sent Lu Tao over to investigate the tobacco matter, but Tao Xin was very powerful, and borrowed Pei Yi's power to probably find out the details of Tao Million.
On the green pottery side, because he discovered the anomaly in Texas, he focused on other things.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wen Qingzhu decided to go to the green pottery to meet first.
Qi and the Xiongnu will have a stop after all, no matter whether they succeed or fail, it is the common people who suffer.
Once Yongheguan is forced, the place of Dingyuan City is too small to hold out for long, then Yunzhou is the front line of defense.
Fortunately, there are very few people in Yunzhou now, and once there is a war, they will evacuate very quickly.
That afternoon, Wen Qingzhu packed his things and prepared to take Jasmine and Beidou to Texas.
I didn't want her to leave before she was stopped by Zuo Tang.
When he arrived at the yamen, Zuo Tang presented the account book.
Wen Qingzhu knew that for so many years, the Zhao Qing brothers must have embezzled a lot.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Lu Jiajun to be suppressed now.
After all, without military pay, soldiers can't get by.
The Lu family is not without a family background, but it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of military horses to completely rely on the Lu family.
What's more, the Lu family still has private soldiers.
Wen Qingzhu was prepared in her heart, but when she opened the account book and saw the total amount on it, she was still taken aback.
"This, this is Zhao Qing's embezzled military salary?" It's not that Wen Qingzhu hasn't seen money, but there is too much money in this account!
Zuo Tang stood in front of her and replied, "Yes, this is the account I found out here, and there are still some discrepancies with the one sent by General Zhao." ”
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu felt that with Zhao Qing's momentum from the bottom of the kettle last night, he was afraid that he would come up with an even more amazing amount.
"Show it to me."
Zuo Tang turned his head and ordered his subordinates to send the account book.
This ledger is new and thin.
At first glance, you can tell that it was made overnight.
Wen Qingzhu's hand was placed on the cover, and there was a slight chill on it.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Qingzhu opened the account book and saw the top number.
Rao was mentally prepared, but he was still taken aback.
It was written three thousand six million nine hundred and eighty thousand silver.
Wen Qingzhu looked away, so much silver.
However, Jiang Yue's total tax silver in the first ten years of his reign is only more than 20 years now, and Zhao Qing actually dared to be greedy for so much silver.
After being surprised, Wen Qingzhu looked at this number, and suddenly sounded Gu Kuo.
When he was found to be a spy, Wen Qingzhu still didn't understand it in his heart.
But looking at the number now, she suddenly understood.
For Zhao Qing, this silver is just a number, he is in Dingyuan, no matter how extravagant he is, he will never be able to overshadow Lu Chengen.
It would be good if Lu Chengen was a person who likes luxury, but he is extremely frugal.
For this reason, on Dingyuan's side, Zhao Qing did not use silver at all.
In this way, so much silver, it is about the same.
If you just count it like this, isn't it greedy for silver for more than 20 years.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at the more than 10 million silver that Zuo Tang had calculated, and felt very wrong.
There is more than one account, so Zhao Qing can provide one on his side, and Zuo Tang can also provide it on his side.
There is a difference, but it shouldn't be that big.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Qingzhu raised his head and asked Zuo Tang: "Have you read the account book sent by Zhao Qing?" ”
Zuo Tang nodded: "I've seen it, I have calculated carefully, when General Zhao came to Dingyuan, the total amount of silver allocated was fifteen million, and after the accounts of the Yamen, a total of four million, so according to the algorithm on the Yamen side, General Zhao deducted 11 million at most." ”
"But he gave me a thirty-six million account." Wen Qingzhu looked at Zuo Tang and asked, "What do you think he means by this?" ”
Zuo Tang's head lowered more and more: "Weichen doesn't dare to speculate, everything is arranged by the princess and the emperor." ”
Wen Qingzhu laughed, this Zuo Tang can stay in Dingyuan for so many years, and he really has some ability.
The accounts are already here, Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a while, and probably knew what Zhao Qing meant.
But he sent such an account, can he come up with so much money?
Wen Qingzhu asked Zuo Tang to call Zhao Qing in.
As soon as Zhao Qing came in and was about to kneel, Wen Qingzhu raised his hand, pointed to the position next to him and said, "Sit, I like General Zhao's approach very much." ”
Hearing her say this, Zhao Qing sighed.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at Zuo Tang, he immediately retreated with great vision, and at the same time took away the idle people at the door.
With no one else, Wen Qingzhu asked directly, "How much silver can you come up with?" ”
Zhao Qing thought that she would ask him why he had so many numbers, but it turned out that this question made him stunned for a moment.
Without getting an answer, Wen Qingzhu raised his head, looked at him and said: "Don't worry, frank and lenient is my criterion, I asked Zuo Tang just now, he said that in the past 20 years, the total amount of silver that has been recorded is only 15 million, you took out the accounts of 36 million, where did the rest of the silver come from, I know." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Qing now feels more and more that he can't breathe.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly, why is this woman so terrifying?
Regarding some rumors about the capital, Zhao Qing always thought they were exaggerated.
But Wen Qingzhu really appeared in front of him, and quickly did a series of operations, forcing him to retreat step by step, which made Zhao Qing realize that the rumors were really not exaggerated.
Thinking of last night's decision, Zhao Qing suddenly rejoiced.
The Zhao family has internal ghosts colluding with the Huns, and he absolutely did nothing.
So at this point, even if Wen Qingzhu has evidence, as long as he is given enough time, Zhao Qing is sure that he can prove his innocence.
As for having a secret relationship with Jiang Yuancheng, many people have done it.
Zhao Qing is not worried, as long as he sees his position clearly in the future, this will not endanger his position.
Their brothers have been operating in Dingyuan for more than 20 years, as long as they don't die, it should be the Zhao family, and the Zhao family is the Zhao family after all.
Although he didn't like Lu Chengen, he had to admit that the Lu family had become an irreplaceable existence for Qi Guo.
"If you get together, you should be able to get 10 million out." Zhao Qing chose to confess.
According to his speculation, Wen Qingzhu should take back the 10 million, and the remaining 20 million should be kept for him.
Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a while, more than 30 million, and it was not bad for him to leave 10 million.
After all, the private soldiers in Zhao Qing's hands may be raised with silver.
"Okay, you keep this 10 million, and the remaining 20 million will be confiscated, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished, and the treasury will not be full in the past two years, so in the next three years, you will provide all the military salaries from Dingyuan."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qing directly forgot to breathe.
Want to take away more than 20 million?
Do you want him to provide three years of military salary?
Zhao Qing subconsciously spoke: "The military salary before and after each year adds up, it costs five or six hundred thousand taels!" ”
In fact, not only at all, because of the special reasons of the army, the local yamen will also allocate a part of the budget.
Needless to say, all the tax money was left directly in the yamen.
You only need to make a symbolic tribute every year during the Chinese New Year.
In addition, Yunzhou was a big city before, and at least 50,000 taels of silver would be allocated for the army every year, not counting all kinds of usual materials.
Texas and Linzhou, which are a little farther away, will also provide a little, although it is less than 10,000, but how much is silver, and Zhao Qing naturally does not refuse.
Sometimes those two places have a request from the army, and they also need to be honored.
What Wen Qingzhu said just now, if it is really promulgated, then there will be no silver!
For three years of military salary, he needs to come up with a budget of at least three million.
He had deducted Lu Jiajun's salary before, although Lu Chengen was very upright.
But Zhao Qing knew that Lu Chengen was a person who had revenge.
In this way, he was afraid that he would return all the money he had secretly scavenged from the people and merchants.
Three years, I still don't know what will happen?
Moreover, according to Wen Qingzhu's words, what she wanted to take away was the property that could produce silver.
Zhao Qing fell silent, was this to force him to his death?
Seeing that his face slowly changed, Wen Qingzhu said lightly: "General Zhao, do you think there is anything wrong with this method?" ”
"Nope! No! Zhao Qing chose this path, and he had no capital to retreat.
He opened his eyes and looked at Wen Qingzhu and replied, "Everything is arranged by the princess, and I won't have any opinions." ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled.
She walked slowly beside Zhao Qing, looked at him sideways and said, "It's true that so much silver is a lot, but I've seen more, so I know very well that you people who like silver, the cunning rabbit." ”
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu walked out directly.
Waiting for the footsteps behind him to disappear, Zhao Qing clenched his fists, but finally let go in a dejected manner.
He turned slowly and looked in the direction of the gate.
Wen Qingzhu had already walked away, and he couldn't see his figure clearly.
Zuo Tang and his subordinates are walking over here.
Zhao Qing remembered Wen Qingzhu's last sentence: The three holes of the cunning rabbit.
Yes, these more than 30 million taels are not all his property.
But when he took out a lot of silver, it still hurt him.
He now knew very well that in the future, he would never have the opportunity to have so much silver.
Zuo Tang walked in and instructed several account offices to prepare for bookkeeping,
Zhao Qing looked at him and asked, "Is Lord Zuo going to start now?" ”
In the face of Zhao Qing's unkindness, although Zuo Tang was worried about angering Zhao Qing, he could only answer truthfully: "It was the princess who asked me to do it as soon as possible, and I hope General Zhao can cooperate." ”
Zhao Qing took a deep breath, which seemed to be the prelude to the storm.
At the last moment, he still turned his head and sat down, looking at Zuo Tang fixedly: "Ask!" ”
Zuo Tang glanced outside the door and reminded, "The general shouldn't remember it completely, right?" If I'm not mistaken, the second general should be in charge of your property, why don't you ask him over? ”
"Not necessarily! I'll send someone back and ask a few stewards to come over. Zhao Qing stood up and quickly went out to say two words to the entourage outside.
