Chapter 652: Murder and Silence

"Then I'll arrange for someone to take Lu Dugong to check it." Wang Yue said enthusiastically.

Zhu Zhifeng and Wei Jingyu also went to the Ministry of Commerce with Lu Xiangsheng to verify the amount of confiscation in the Xuanda area, and soon the news that the amount of the confiscation reached more than 20 million taels broke out.

More than 20 million taels are calculated by counting the value of other physical objects, in fact, the total value of cash and physical goods copied from Shanxi this time is more than 35 million taels, Wang Yue asked the Ministry of Commerce to erase 15 million taels, and make a fake account to show the imperial court, this is very simple.

Anyway, even if Wang Yue doesn't have a couple left to announce to the public, there will still be people who suspect him of embezzlement, so it's better to do it happily.

After the news of more than 20 million taels came out, the public was in an uproar, and even Chongzhen gasped, and couldn't help but marvel that these profiteers were so rich, and they lived a good life as emperors, but these profiteers were rich enough to rival the country.

The DPRK and China were in an uproar because of the Tiance Army's dispatch of troops to Xuanda and Shanxi, and impeachment was like a tide. The vassal kings from all over the country also wrote and cried, saying how the Tiance army was unreasonable. The movement of the Tiance army is indeed too big, and Chongzhen has issued several wills in order to give an explanation to all parties.

First of all, he ordered Wang Yue to be reprimanded and punished for one year, but he was still the governor of Liaodong Jingluo and Yingtian, and ordered him to make meritorious service and redeem himself.

Lu Xiang, the governor of Xuanda, was promoted and demoted by two levels, but he still held his original position, and he made meritorious contributions to his crimes.

Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, and Wei Jingming, the governor of Datong, were also demoted by one level. still holds the original position, and all of them have made meritorious contributions to redeem themselves.

Soon after, several vassal kings also received a stern reprimand from the emperor, reprimanding them for their lack of discipline and many incidents, which were purely self-inflicted, and strictly ordered them to think about it behind closed doors.

After the final series of wills, it can be regarded as the reaction of the emperor and the imperial court, and it can be regarded as an explanation to all parties.

However, many people feel that the disposal of the imperial court can be described as thunder and rain. There is no substantive content at all, but they know that it can only be so, and they dare to really do anything to Wang Yue?

In mid-May, everything had been decided, and the headquarters of the Tiance Army ordered most of the Tiance Army to withdraw from Shanxi, and a small number of men and horses stayed behind to supervise the follow-up work.

The whereabouts of more than 20 million taels of silver were also announced to the outside world, of which the bulk of the capital, Xuanda and Shanxi's railway and highway budgets were 13 million taels, the Imperial Bank lost more than 3 million taels due to counterfeit currency, the emperor's internal money was 2 million taels, 2 million taels were handed over to the imperial court, and the military expenses and rewards of the Tiance army were 800,000 taels, and a small part was for other expenses.

In addition, 600,000 taels worth of goods were also allocated to the three governors of Shanxi, Datong and Xuanfu to make up for the losses caused by the war.

Wang Yue's distribution is quite comprehensive, and the court is not satisfied and can't do anything with him, and it is already an unexpected joy to have two million taels of silver.

Two million taels of silver, such a large sum of money, I don't know how many people in the DPRK and China have attracted the attention of the DPRK and China, and the unprecedented fierce struggle has begun.

Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, spoke first, the treasury was depleted of money and grain, and the Ming Dynasty needed money everywhere, so these silver taels should be all collected by the treasury to solve the urgent need. The original head of the household department was imprisoned because of the failure of the court dispute, and the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were changed very quickly anyway.

Xie Baoqing, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of War, objected, saying that Wang Yue was the left servant of the Ministry of War, and the money he copied should naturally belong to the Ministry of War.

Xie Sheng, the secretary of the ministry, naturally has something to say, and even the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments have made the same statement, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

This is the Zhongyang court, and the local people also have their own reasons. In many places in the Ming Dynasty, many officials are also desperately crying poor, hoping that after the imperial court receives the silver, it will give priority to them.

Wang Yue threw a piece of fat to the court, and Wang Yue didn't care how they fought for it.

After sending troops to Xuanda Shanxi and other places, there is still a lot of aftermath work to be done.

First of all, the fake silver yuan coupons made by the Jin merchants must be recovered and destroyed, especially the counterfeit money that fell into the hands of the people, and an explanation must be given. The loss of a few taels of silver may not be anything to the people of the starting point city, but for the people of poor Xuanda Shanxi and other places, it is a great thing.

The wool is out of the sheep, and the counterfeit money is something made by the Jin merchants, so it is compensated with the confiscated goods.

The Imperial Bank of the Starting Point City announced that all victims of counterfeit silver yuan coupons can exchange counterfeit money for real money, or rice and grain, and on the basis of the original face value, they will increase by 20% to make up for everyone's losses.

In addition, the management committee of the starting point city also issued a notice: In the process of arresting profiteers, some military and civilian civilians who have been deceived and found to be guilty of not much responsibility will not only no longer pursue their criminal responsibility, but also give certain bereavement benefits to the dead and injured.

With a thunderclap, the two notices of the Imperial Bank and the Management Committee of the Starting Point City were like rolling spring thunder, resounding through Xuanda Shanxi and other places. When the news came, the victims were surprised and rejoiced, and the name of Wang Shaobao's benevolence and righteousness quickly spread to the three towns.

Xiaomin is very profitable, and you have talked to him a lot of righteousness, so it is better to give her a bucket of rice.

So after this incident, the credibility of the silver yuan coupon is stronger, the popularity is more far-reaching, and in the end, many rural people also know a thing called the silver dollar coupon, not to mention the convenience of use, but also a real currency.

No, the big guy was deceived by profiteers, and they all exchanged grain and rice for real money, and there was a certain amount of compensation, which was really better than silver and copper coins.

Of course, there are some people who are hungry for profit.

Or those who think this is a business opportunity and buy counterfeit money at a high price, or those who ignore the experience of everyone else and secretly make counterfeit money, these people are among the felonies in the starting city, and what awaits them is the end of their families.

May 25, Datong Town, Lingqiu County.

On the side of the stage on Wuyamen Street, the stall owner was busy, and when he looked up, he saw several big men in front of him.

He has a good memory, and immediately greeted: "Yo, it turned out to be a few masters, and I haven't seen them for a few days." ”

A few people were full of food and drink, and Fang Shuhong asked, "Boss, cashier coupon or cashier?" The stall owner smiled: "Silver dollar coupons, of course they are silver yuan coupons, and they have already started to collect ......." ”

……

The whole month of May in the starting point city was dealing with the aftermath of Xuanda, Shanxi and other places.

At the end of May, Fan Yongdou, Jin Liangyu and other profiteers were also taken to the starting point city for public trial, and the forces behind them had already given up on them.
