Chapter 1218: Coming Alone
Since Luo Yuan had made up his mind to lift the lid on the Logistics Division, Li Zhongyi naturally couldn't sit idly by, so he simply passed down the message and temporarily seconded Luo Yuan to the Guards to listen to it.
Protecting witnesses is the duty that Li Zhongyi, as the lord and the chief of the mountain, should fulfill. Otherwise, who would dare to take the initiative to expose him in the future?
After lunch, Li Zhongyi led Chu Xiong and Li Anguo and walked around again. Due to the problem with the clothes, Li Zhongyi paid special attention to the places he passed, and the utensils used by the soldiers to shelter from the rain.
According to Li Jiajun's regulations, the soldiers' rainy equipment included: hats, coats, and umbrellas made of oiled paper.
In addition, the armor and other items of the pack horses accompanying them must be wrapped in leather bags to avoid rust.
Since Li Zhongyi entered Kaifeng City, the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard, the Gun and Stick Courtyard, the Sansi Jia Case, the Xuan Case and other cases with tens of thousands of craftsmen have added countless help to the arms industry that started in Pinglu out of thin air, making Li Daguan feel like a fish in water and a tiger with wings.
In a word, the shotgun was replaced by a cannon!
The entire Li Jiajun up and down, from the helmet to the iron armor on the body, from the saber to the sheepskin military boots on the feet, everything, and they are all excellent and high-quality goods.
However, when the forest grows, there will be any birds!
There are hundreds of people, all kinds of colors!
Among the more than 100,000 troops, the appearance of a small number of corrupt officials is a normal phenomenon.
Li Zhongyi didn't find out before, which doesn't mean that his old subordinates didn't stretch out their dirty black hands to the military field.
A certain big man once said that predators who are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice often fall under sugar-coated shells!
People live for a lifetime, and what they pursue is just the following things: power, sex, wealth, and wealth!
It's just that Li Zhongyi never dreamed that the iron-blooded steel army he created single-handedly would fall so quickly not long after entering Kaifeng City!
The problem of corruption is an inherent evil in human nature, and no matter what means are adopted by all dynasties to fight corruption, they have never truly and thoroughly solved the problem of "three noes."
Three no's, refers to not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt!
The core element of human evolution from a primitive society to a slave society is actually that tribal chiefs and elders use their privileges to try their best to eat more and take more.
The family that holds the privilege will inevitably widen the gap between the rich and the poor if it eats more and occupies more for a long time!
The economic base determines the superstructure, and correspondingly, the superstructure deeply affects the system of social distribution.
The ruling stratum, which has special power, will certainly try to tilt the distribution system in favor of their own class interests.
This is precisely the crux of the cycle of chaos and death, which is also the saying goes: those who eat alone will be struck by lightning!
Li Haodong's work efficiency is amazingly high!
Only five days later, the truth has been revealed, and the detailed investigation report has been placed on Li Zhongyi's desk.
Li Zhongyi carefully flipped through the case file several times, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what is called a lack of people's hearts and swallowing elephants?
What is the meaning of endless desire?
Li Zhongyi understood a truth very early on, power without restraint will inevitably lead to corruption!
But the problem is that Li Zhongyi has supplemented and improved the storage system of the Logistics Department as much as possible, and the rats still have loopholes to drill, and they are extremely clever.
The problem actually lies in the sampling officer, the high-quality and inferior clothes need to be packed and sent to the warehouse.
The sampling officer in the warehouse knew the box number or bag number of the high-grade clothes in advance, and consciously expanded the scope of the sampling inspection during the random inspection.
Then, the clothes that were spot-checked out were all high-quality products, and the sampling inspectors not only participated in the black box to make money, but even won the praise of the bosses of the logistics department.
Li Haodong's rigor in handling affairs is well-known, Li Zhongyi put down the file, picked up the cinnabar pen, and approved a line of big characters: Take it to the Military Justice Department to handle it strictly. No matter who is involved, they will be taken down, as many as they are caught, and they will never be tolerated!
"Master, the sampling officer Wu said that he had an old relationship with you and wanted to see you at the end." Li Haodong respectfully accepted the instructions, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say more.
Li Zhongyi smiled coldly and reprimanded softly: "Confused! Who in the army doesn't have an old friend with me? When they stretched out their dirty hands, did they ever think of old love? ”
"Besides, each person in the whole army has a set of robes, plus spare reserves, at least 200,000 sets, right? One set of two sets of texts was fished, how many of the 200,000 sets were fished? Li Zhongyi stared at Li Haodong coldly, "Excuse me, when did your Military Judge Advocate General's Department become the Intercession Division?" ”
Li Haodong was shocked, hurriedly knelt on one knee, and begged for mercy with a crying voice: "Master, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he doesn't dare to talk too much." ”
Li Zhongyi burst out of his nose with a cold snort, and said with a smile: "The purpose of raising fierce dogs alone is to take care of the family and the hospital, catch thieves and take stolen goods, not to let you collude, even a cat and mouse family, understand?" ”
"Hui Master, the little one really understands." Li Haodong was scared to death in his heart, and the brighter Li Zhongyi smiled, the colder his heart became.
"Some people just have a bad memory, but they have a lot of forgetfulness, and they have to beat it from time to time before they will be obedient." Li Zhongyi took out a token from his arms and threw it into Li Haodong's arms, "Don't be in vain, don't indulge, don't implicate the innocent." Otherwise, be careful with your skin. ”
Li Haodong stared at the token in his hand, this is a special small jade seal, engraved with several small seals: if you are alone, the payment is: the owner of Huairen Pavilion.
If I am not mistaken, the last time Li Haodong saw this small seal, Li Yanqing was still a military lawyer, and he was the same knowledge.
On that occasion, Li Yanqing held high the small seal and arrested more than a dozen officers who colluded with the landlords and accepted the wealth of the inferior gentry at one time.
This time, if the small seal that came to the lonely person came back out of the rivers and lakes, the people of the logistics department will definitely suffer!
"Flowing water is not rotten, and the hub is not beetle! You go back and copy these eight words a thousand times! Li Zhongyi didn't even pinch Li Haodong in the eyes, flicked the sleeves of his robe lightly, and went straight into the back account.
Li Haodong came out of the big tent of the Chinese army and called the cold wind to blow violently, and then he realized that the clothes on his body were all wet and cold!
The so-called flowing water is not rotten, and the household hub is not beetle, this is obviously not only a warning to the people of the Logistics Department, but also a warning to him Li Haodong!
After this fright, Li Haodong understood one thing, his days in the Military Justice Department were numbered!
Seeing that Li Zhongyi's face was not very good-looking, Peony didn't dare to talk too much, so she hurriedly served tea.
Li Zhongyi took out the famous "little black book" from his arms, picked up the charcoal pen, and added a line of small words to the small black book: Beware of a nest of snakes and rats, and storage must be checked and balanced.
After taking notes, Li Zhongyi couldn't read the official document anymore, so he simply called Peony, planning to talk to her.
"Don't lie to me, how did you live in the house before?" Li Zhongyi knew that Peony was very afraid of him, so he deliberately accentuated his tone and forced her to tell the truth.
"Master, the cheap slave knows that he is guilty, and he has never dared to fight with others, if he can bear it, he will endure it, and if he can't bear it, he still has to endure it." Peony thought that Li Zhongyi wanted to settle old accounts, and she was so frightened that she trembled, but she didn't dare not answer.
Obedient to listen to the sound, Li Zhongyi pondered a little, and then understood. Tang Shuyi, the lady in charge, had been at odds with Peony before, let alone helping her, and if she didn't step on her a few feet, she was already open-minded.
"The cheap slaves have never liked to cause trouble, and they have been hiding aside, but no one really comes to step on the cheap slaves." Since a very early age, peony has been the first-class girl ring by Li Zhongyi's side.
To put it in my heart, Peony never dreamed that Li Zhongyi, who could not take up a pen to participate in the imperial examination, and who could not carry a gun to kill the enemy, would one day become the master of the world.
If he had known that there was today, why would Peony rack his brains to tie up Li Zhonghao's real waste?
Li Zhongyi could hear that Peony had reservations, but he could completely understand her caution.
After all, in the back house of the old Li family, it is a well-known fact that peony is not favored. If a woman wants to live comfortably and comfortably in the back house, the support of a man is an indispensable element.
In the past, the peony who guarded the widow, in the backyard, let alone compared with Tang Shuyi and others, even the general stewards were much more majestic than her.
Li Zhongyi grabbed the little hand of the peony, and gently stroked it while cheering her up, "The opportunity is rare, if you have any grievances, just tell me." ”
Peony kept her head down, neither nodded nor spoke, and the atmosphere in the inner tent became a little awkward.
Li Zhongyi understands Peony's concerns very well, he can protect her for a while, but he can't protect her for a lifetime. Peony is still very young, and the road is still very long, especially when she is about to raise Li Zhongyi's grandson (daughter) outside the house, and she has always maintained an obscure attitude, which can reduce right and wrong.
The little thing in the mansion door, in the final analysis, is only three: the heir!
Li Zhongyi has laid a huge foundation, but there is only one heir, it is conceivable that whether it is Zhesaihua, Tang Shuyi, or other women, their son has taken over, that is the proper queen mother.
Under the shackles of filial piety, there is only one woman in the palace who is the most noble, and that is the queen mother who has her son as the emperor.
Even if Mrs. Xue is not the queen mother in name for the time being, but who told her own son to be angry, although she does not have the name of the queen mother, she has the fact of the queen mother.
During the New Year's holidays, the Empress Dowager Fu in the palace was sparsely populated in front of the door, and no one cared about it at all.
The foreign wives who originally held the Empress Dowager Fu to the clouds now only cried and shouted as if they didn't know the Empress Dowager Fu, crying and shouting to come to see Mrs. Xue.
The strength of the rivers and lakes, above the temple, is a place that pays attention to strength!
Peony didn't want to offend people, and Li Zhongyi didn't have the heart to force her to say what was in her heart, so the two chatted about boring things.
Zhu Niang carried a knife around the inner and outer tents, and when she came back, she saw that the curtain on the couch had been lowered.
She immediately realized that Peony had been sleeping no less than ten times in a row for many days, was it a little too much?
What is it about the peony that is not good-looking, what attracts men?
Zhu Niang never dreamed that Li Zhongyi not only stole the emperor's favorite concubine, but also made the woman's belly bigger, and she needed peony to help cover it.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, Li Zhongyi naturally wants to give condolences to the peony who has the courage to dedicate, and he is so good, right?
