Zheng Wen's trip to visit the nurse this time ended like this!

And what happened? Let Zheng Wen leave so quickly!

It turned out that Yang Bo, the secretary of the household department, led the officials of the household department to check the deficit of the granary of Daqian, and as usual, the three major granaries of Yanjing, Changping, Yongfeng, and Huifeng, were inspected.

But after all, Yang Bo had just taken up the post of Household Secretary, and he was in a hurry to take over, and his predecessor, Guo Cheng, was unclear about his death, but he did not hand over to his predecessor.

And the Tai warehouse is the storage place of the official silver of the household department, there is a lot of gold and silver, more than two-thirds of the tax revenue of the court is stored in Taicang, it is the first silver treasury of the Great Dry!

And Yang Bo also felt that he would take this opportunity to clean up the Tibetan silver in Taicang to see if it could match the accounts, so that he could also have an explanation for himself!

In fact, Yang Bo himself doesn't think there will be any problems in Taicang, after all, Taicang itself is too important, there is a 5,000-person garrison army on weekdays, this is a fully armed garrison, and Taicang is close to Daming Palace, on one side is the garrison camp of the Yulin Army, and on the other side is the garrison camp of the Jingying Jiedu Embassy, which is heavily defended, and the surrounding areas are all critical places, this kind of place will never have an accident!

But what I never expected was that Yang Bo took someone to check Taicang, and found that it was not as safe as expected, and the silver in the Taicang was all on the accounts, but there was a million taels of gold missing, and the accounts were there, but there was no physical object, and suddenly, Yang Bo was terrified!

But when he calmed down and thought about it, he found that this matter was really strange, everything else was fine, but there was a lack of such a million taels of gold, and there was no record of transferring it out in the accounts, and His Majesty, who had just ascended the throne, did not transfer it, could it be the first emperor, but he had never heard rumors about it, so in the end, where did this million taels of gold go?

Could it be that the garrison guards are privately corrupt? It's impossible, how important Taicang is, and it's not up to them to call the shots when they open Taicang, besides, even if they dare to do this kind of head-killing thing, they don't dare to be greedy for such a huge amount of money?

You must know that in Daqian, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, one or two hundred silver, equal to one thousand copper coins, one million taels of gold, that is a full ten million taels of silver, how huge this is!

Besides, how could such a huge amount of gold disappear from Taicang so easily?

Moreover, why is it a million taels of gold that has disappeared, no more than a tael, not less than a tael, it is precisely the integer of one million taels, which makes people feel weird!

Yang Bo has been an official for so many years, and he is also very surprised, he always feels that there is an unknown secret here, which must be a big secret, and it will definitely be a shocking when it is revealed!

And he also decided in his heart that His Majesty, who had just ascended the throne, would not know that a million taels of gold had disappeared from the Tai Warehouse, so where did this million taels of gold go?

He didn't understand, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he notified it to the Jinyiwei Yamen, and it was also notified to His Majesty, and Jinyiwei and Zheng Er heard it, and he didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that this matter was very important, so he ordered Jinyiwei to quickly block the Tai Warehouse, and notified his immediate boss Zheng Yi, and Zheng Yi told Zheng Wen in turn.

Along.

Sitting on the carriage, Zheng Wen looked at Zheng Yi with a heavy face and asked, "Zheng Yi, what is going on?" Make it clear to me. ”

As soon as Zheng Yi heard this, he immediately lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, when Yang Bo, the head of the household department, and the officials of the household department finished checking the three major granaries in the capital, Yang Bo, the head of the household department, checked the Tibetan silver of Taicang on a whim, and found that the hidden silver of the Taicang did not match the accounts of the household department, and one million taels of gold disappeared, but the household department ......."

Before Zheng Yi's words were finished, Zheng Wen interrupted him and said, "No need to say it, I know!" ”

What Yang Bo's whim is just a pretext, Zheng Wen understood it when he thought about it.

This is obviously Yang Bo taking advantage of the opportunity of the court to check the granary of the big cadres, and also take the opportunity to check the household department under his jurisdiction, to see what rotten things are inside the household department, such as what bad debts there are in the household department, what places are in arrears with the center's taxes, etc., early discovery, early to the top.

He doesn't want to carry the black pot for his predecessor, after all, he has just taken office in the household department, if in the future, the household department has something wrong because of these bad things, it will not be so wonderful, this is the yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not is also, it is reasonable to say, people will only say that Yang Bo is not good, and will never mention the bad things of the household department, even Zheng Wen himself is afraid that he will look down on him a few points.

Therefore, Yang Bocai took this opportunity to clean up the household department and expose the shortcomings of the household department, which is good for him who has just taken office in the household department.

But if you want to investigate, you have to find a clear reason, Yang Bo can't just say to the officials of the household department, I just want to investigate the bad things in the household department, if you really want to say that, isn't that self-isolation from the household department, how can he mix in the officialdom?

And isn't checking Taicang the best reason? This Taicang is the real money bag of the household, and he also wants to see how much real money and silver there is in this Taicang, but this check, it is terrible, the blind cat touched the dead mouse, and found that Taicang is missing the one million taels of gold.

At this time, Zheng Wen, after listening to Zheng Yi's introduction, was very troubled, and he was indeed as Yang Bo thought, he had never heard of Taicang missing a million taels of gold. But this matter, Zheng Wen guessed in his heart, could it be his cheap father who did it, if this is the case, Zheng Wen said that he would have to cover up this matter, and if it was going to be spread, it would be a big joke, and the royal family would be ashamed, which is also the reason why Yang Bo immediately notified Jinyiwei after he found out, in fact, this is saying to Zheng Wen: Your Majesty, you deal with it quickly!

Because in Daqian, Taicang is the foundation of Daqian, and it is also the foundation of the court that can be maintained, Taicang is jointly supervised by the emperor and the court, and the expenditure of the imperial family is spent by the inner treasury, this Taicang and the inner treasury are two different systems, since the establishment of the country for more than 300 years, no emperor has ever withdrawn silver money from Taicang for his own use, more than 300 years, formed an absolute unspoken rule.

And what Zheng Wen can think of is only his cheap father, who has the ability and this possibility, after all, his cheap father died in a woman's bed, and he can do anything ridiculous.

Therefore, Zheng Wen immediately asked Huang An directly: "Big Companion, do you know what happened to the one million taels of gold that disappeared from this warehouse?" ”

After all, Huang An is the personal companion of his cheap father, if it was really him, it is impossible for Huang An not to know.

As soon as Huang An heard Zheng Wen's question, he immediately understood, and immediately replied: "Emperor, the old slave doesn't know, this matter can't be done by the first emperor, the old slave has served the first emperor for many years, and he has never heard of this." ”

When Zheng Wen heard this, he had more doubts in his heart, and raised his head to look at Zheng Yi again.

Zheng Yi immediately said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has never heard of it, it can't be done by the first emperor." ”

Zheng Wen listened to Zheng Yi's affirmative words, paused, and asked in an uncertain tone, "Really, not?" ”

"Emperor, it's really not."

"Your Majesty, the minister really hasn't heard of it."

The two of them said to Zheng Wen in unison, both shaking their heads in unison.

When Zheng Wen heard this, he immediately determined that this was indeed not done by his cheap father, so who did it?

The doubts in Zheng Wen's heart have increased instead of decreasing, since he has excluded his cheap father, Zheng Wen can't think of anyone who has the ability to transport one million taels of gold from Taicang without knowing it, and convert it into catties, but 100,000 catties of gold, this huge amount of gold, even if it is transported away, it is impossible not to leak the slightest bit of news!

And, when did gold disappear?

Moreover, why is the disappearing gold an integer of one million taels?

Not more than a tael, not less than a tael, this situation is really a bit weird!

Zheng Wen was puzzled, and Huang An Zheng Yi, who was sitting next to Zheng Wen, also had a sad face, obviously they couldn't figure it out.

And the carriage drove all the way to Taicang.

When Zheng Wen arrived in Taicang, the outermost part of Taicang had been under martial law by the Yulin Army, and when Zheng Wen entered Taicang, he saw many brocade guards, a flying fish suit, mighty and domineering, which made people's eyes shine.

When Zheng Wen saw Yang Bo, he saw that he had a sad face, standing at the front of the official Zheng Wen, and after the salute.

Zheng Wen asked with a heavy face: "Yang Qing, are you sure that one million taels of gold really disappeared, it can't be that the household department is mistaken, right?" Zheng Wen asked with some disbehes.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible, this million taels of gold, the accounts of the household department have their clear records, these gold, is mined from the gold mine belonging to the court of Luoyang County, divided into three storage, respectively, the third day of September in the tenth year of Jianqi 300,000 taels, the 11th year of Jianqi October 18 into the warehouse 350,000 taels, the 12th year of Jianqi on the fifth day of October 350,000 taels, by the former household department Shangshu Guo Cheng and Dongchang factory Gong Huang An supervised the storage, these have clear records, both of them signed at the time, the household department can not be wrong." Yang Bo listened to Zheng Wen's words and quickly spoke up.

And Huang An also opened his mouth and said: "Emperor, it's true, the old slave also remembers it clearly, what was in the warehouse at that time was indeed gold, and these three times are also the most gold that the old slave has seen in his life, it is a piece of Huang Chengcheng, it is simply dazzling the eyes of the old slave!" ”

And Yang Bo also continued: "The gold in Taicang is rarely out of the warehouse after it is put into storage, after all, most of the silver and copper coins used in the market are used, and gold is too precious after all, and it is rarely circulated......

At this time, Jin Yiwei knew Zheng Er, but he ran over, regardless of whether Yang Bo was talking or not, or even regardless of respect and etiquette, he said loudly with a frightened face: "Your Majesty, Lord Li is dead!" ”
