In the end, the emperor decided to name the bonds agricultural bonds. The first issue was only issued in the capital, with an issuance period of one year, a total amount of 2 million yuan, and an annual interest of 10%. This is already much higher than the interest rate on bank deposits, and it is stamped with the big seal of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Agriculture, and the bank responsible for issuing it also clearly informs customers that each bond is 10 yuan, and it can be exchanged for 11 yuan when it is withdrawn after a year, because it is bearer, so it can be sold to others at any time.

Most of the people have a wait-and-see attitude towards this new thing, asking more and buying very little. On the first day of release, only more than 10,000 yuan were sold. This made Bi Ziyan very anxious. The next day, when the palace maid in the royal glass mirror shop also began to buy this bond, the people in the capital knew that it was not a lie, and they immediately rushed up, selling more than 800,000 yuan on the same day, and sold out on the third day.

Seeing that it was so easy to sell, the officials of the household department were overjoyed, and when they saw that the funds of the household department were a little stretched, they suggested to Bi Ziyan to issue more bonds, but Bi Ziyan refused. He scolded: "It's cool to borrow money for a while, what should I do when I want to pay it back?" The Ministry of Agriculture's funds for affordable grain have already been secured, and this large-scale inspection will certainly uncover a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and we can get a large amount of income from the confiscation of family property alone, and our life will be better. Take a good look, don't stretch out your hand, but don't blame me for not saying it in front, the factory guard, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the Economic Investigation Bureau are involved at the same time, and I don't care if something happens. “

Now the officials in the capital are already high, as long as An An has been doing it for decades, and there is a pension after he is old, he can accumulate 200,000 yuan in 30 years, although it is not as good as three years of Qing Governor's Mansion and ten years of snowflake silver, but it is better than safety, don't worry. Think about the officials who were found out, they were in prison, their family property was confiscated, and their children could not live, so they could only work hard, so it was better to be more stable.

The nation's warehouse renovation was soon rolled out, because it was cleaned up at the same time, making the previous means of moving from one place to another to enrich the warehouse completely useless, and the factory guard had received some reported materials before, just now used, for a time, the good days of the warehouse rats and grain rats in various places came to an end, only one place in the north of Zhili, seven counties and eight guards in seventy-two counties and eight guards under the nine prefectures and two Zhili prefectures, and only nine of the ninety-seven county-level institutions were not a big problem.

There is no big problem that the accounts can basically be matched, but there are some problems with the quality of some warehouses and grain, and Bi Ziyan has expected this situation before, so he asks that such a warehouse will not be punished, but only ordered to clean up the warehouse and prepare for restructuring.

The warehouses of other states and counties are miserable, some granaries are only half filled with grain, and the books are full, some warehouses only have rats, and there are a number of silver and ......bronze on the books, which makes the officials of the inventory happy and then worried, happy that the big case has been caught, and the worry is where the grain has gone, if there is really a famine, the granary that is counting on saving lives is moldy rice or even just numbers, what can be done at that time.

The courts in various places were very busy, and the officials and factory guards kept handing over the grain books to the courts, and attached the indictments. There is nothing to try in this kind of case, and in the face of the facts, quibbling is useless, so it is very easy to try and decide.

After Bi Ziyan received the following report, he was anxious and angry. According to the above situation, the warehouses of the Ming Dynasty, especially the local granaries, are almost completely useless, and ninety percent of the granaries are furnishings. Fortunately, the large warehouse of the imperial court is directly managed by the imperial court, and in recent years, many students from the clerk's school have entered, and the factory guards have been extremely strict in this regard, but there is no big problem.

There is no way to hide, Zhu Youxiao still saw Bi Ziyan's report. He was so angry that he shouted: "Kill it, kill it all, what's the point of such a moth alive." “

The ministers all looked embarrassed, and Wu Rendu plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has its own laws, and some things that are not enough for the death penalty cannot be killed." “

Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Now that this is an extraordinary period, I feel that the punishment should be increased, so as to chill the courage of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and when they want to do bad things in the future, they will think about the corpse in front of them." “

Wu Rendu hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the punishment of the world is light and heavy, and His Majesty personally abolished it. “

Like a plate of cold water suddenly poured down, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a long time. At this time, I remembered that at that time, I opposed the punishment of the world and the severity of the world because I knew that the severe punishment in the previous life was useless, and when the matter came, I was swayed by emotions, and I only wanted to vent the anger in my heart and deter those moths, but I didn't think about this problem.

Somewhat embarrassed, he looked at the ministers below. The ministers all bowed their heads, not daring to look at the emperor. After a while, Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, you hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and your ministers empathize, but we can strengthen the punishment from other aspects, such as confiscating family property can be stricter?" “

Zhu Youxiao had already figured it out, shook his head with a smile and said, "Since there are laws and regulations, let's follow the regulations." I'm too emotional, or too young. “

The ministers were "the emperor and the saint", and resolutely disagreed with his conclusion that he was too young. Zhu Youxiao knew that this was comfort, and he didn't care, and waved his hand: "From this situation, it seems that the matter of direct management of the warehouse cannot be delayed. I discussed with the ministers, and the state and county treasury were all opened in the bank, and every money deposited and withdrawn had to go through the bank. As for the grain issue, it is the most important matter in the world, so I decided to set up a grain storage agency, with Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Agriculture as the director, and the granaries of the following states and counties are managed by the grain storage bureau, and there is no subordinate relationship with the government at all levels. Let's discuss it and see what else can be modified and improved. “

There was just one more agency instead of a ministry, but that didn't reassure the ministers. The imperial court is directly managed, in fact, the emperor is directly managed through the cabinet, and if this continues, the power of the cabinet will become greater and greater, which is a good thing for ministers with obvious factional tendencies, like the Qi Party, Chu Party, and Zhejiang Party who support Fang Congzhe, and some Donglin Party members who support Ye Xianggao, they can at least fight. But for the majority of the so-called middle-of-the-road people who do not belong to a party affiliation, there will be some apprehension in their hearts.

However, no one could not ignore the opposition to what the emperor had already decided, and everyone only discussed some small issues about the way in which this grain storage agency was set up, but did put forward some constructive suggestions. As for Director Chen Suowen, who did not belong to the Donglin Party or the Qichuzhejiang Party, there was no objection to it.
