Chapter 338: Zhao Pu's Prime Minister's Talent

Fu San is still a man of action, she feels that she wants to show the demeanor of the future hostess, her brother-in-law promised to give her a marriage, her sister has become a queen, and her father is the head of one of the few veterans.

First of all, Fu San took Ye Zhong into charge, your brother asked you to study hard, then you have to behave well, Fu San found three masters for them, and when they came back from the school, they went to the small stove, read poetry and books, practiced calligraphy, what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all had to be learned...

Almost overnight, a few little ones fell into the hands of their stepmothers, and they didn't even have time to pee.

From morning to night, it was dark.

Brother Guo Xing shouted luck, thanks to his young age, otherwise he would have been unlucky.

In addition, Fu San also straightened out the servants of the Ye family.

Ye Hua is often not at home, and the old lady has the same temperament as a bodhisattva, so she can't bear to be punished. As a result, the Ye family was very loose and had no rules.

For example, Sister-in-law Liu, who is in charge of purchasing, reports 200 wen for a basket of radishes, and a bucket of millet for consistent money...... All the excess is hidden.

She is not greedy for money, but the son of the family wants to study, and she wants to find a good teacher, and the money is used to pay for it.

Some people have also said to the old lady before that Ye felt that Sister-in-law Liu was not bad, so he didn't say anything.

But Fu San didn't agree, "I've already asked, you have been greedy for ink from Ye Mansion for no less than 200 years over the years, but your son has been more than two years, and he hasn't found Mr. yet!" All the extra money you made was given to your husband! He is idle, spends all day drinking, doing nothing, and has an outer room, is he worthy of you? ”

Sister-in-law Liu's face turned red when she was asked by Fu San, she knelt on the ground and kept sobbing, "The girl is benevolent and righteous, spare the slave and maid this time!" The slave didn't dare anymore. ”

"There's no next time!"

Fu San said decisively: "Come on, expel her from the Ye Mansion!" ”

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Liu seemed to be drained of strength, and suddenly, she broke free from her family and hit the pillar, but fortunately, the person next to her grabbed the corner of her clothes, only injured her head, and did not lose her life.

A few servants came to Fu San to plead for mercy.

Sister-in-law Liu is not easy, she used to be a widow, she was divorced by her husband, helpless, and then her current husband wanted her, and the difference between the two was six years old.

The so-called female college five, the old mother.

Sister-in-law Liu has no idea about her little husband, not only does she not have an idea, but she also has to follow him in everything, Sister-in-law Liu is very afraid of being divorced by her husband, if she is spurned by two husbands in a row, how can she still live?

A few years ago, Sister-in-law Liu was lucky to enter the Ye Mansion, and the days finally changed a little, at first she was conscientious and did not dare to make any mistakes, but then her husband lost the gambling money, so he made a big fuss with her.

There was no way, Sister-in-law Liu stole the money in the house for the first time to pay off the debts for her husband, and since then, she has been out of control and has fallen deeper and deeper......

"Girl, Sister-in-law Liu is so stupid, she was eaten to death by her family, the girl raised her noble hand, don't worry about her!"

"No way!"

Fu San raised his eyebrows, "Rules are rules, they can't be changed at will, since you have done it, you have to bear the consequences and get Sister-in-law Liu out of the Ye Mansion...... Give her an extra ten dollars and go to recuperate. ”

Fu San expelled Liu's sister-in-law, and then fired several servants, and replaced the horseman, gardener, and bookkeeper in the backyard...... Don't look at Ye Hua's eyes, Fu San is a child, but in the Ye Mansion, who is not afraid of Fu San's girl!

People are not only decisive enough, but also thoughtful.

For example, Sister-in-law Liu was kicked out, and on the same day, someone found Sister-in-law Liu's husband, hung him up, beat him for three days, and shook a knife in front of the kid's eyes.

A big man, raised by his mother-in-law, what are you!

If you have a little ambition, go out to work to support your family, otherwise, you kid doesn't need to be a man!

I don't know if it's scared, or if it's really a prodigal son. This kid really changed, he got a donkey cart, pulled goods for the store, and after a year, not only made money, but also sent his son to the school.

Sister-in-law Liu was so excited that she deliberately ran to kowtow to Fu San and thank the girl for her great kindness.

Fu San was resolute in Yefu, but the affairs of the court were not so simple, a big case of military food shortage made the political affairs hall restless, and several ministers were scolded by Chai Rong to the blood.

The explanations they came up with not only failed to convince His Majesty the Emperor, but also provoked Chai Rong's scolding.

"You think you want to get through the tricks when you get a bunch of small officials? Dream! I only need more than 10 million stone of grain, where did I go? Without an explanation, I started looking for it from your house! ”

The princes of the political hall, that is called an embarrassment.

Just when they were being scolded, someone went to Ye Hua's study and talked to him.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Pu.

"Master Hou, do you know the process of transporting military rations?"

Ye Hua shook his head.

Zhao Pu explained: "That's the case, as long as the grain in the warehouses around the country is ordered, it will be shipped out, and in the process of transporting out, no official documents will be issued, only a blank document. When the military rations are delivered to the front, a receipt will be written according to the actual amount of income, and the person who transports the amount will be responsible for reporting the loss, and the barracks will write the loss on the blank paperwork and stamp it. After the official who transported the grain returned, according to this official document, he asked the official to make up the seal! ”

Zhao Pu finished talking about the process, let alone Ye Hua, anyone could hear it, the loopholes in it were simply too big.

For example, the Privy Council ordered the allocation of military rations, and the position was closed from a certain place, and 100,000 stones were transferred, which were escorted by officials, and when they arrived in front of the army, only 30,000 stones were delivered, and the remaining 70,000 stones were gone.

The barracks want food at hand, and they don't care how much they lose. They issued official documents and handed them to the officials who transported the grain, and the officials who transported the grain went back to ask the higher-level officials to fill in the documents according to the official documents before the army, so that they could pass the customs in confusion.

"It's ridiculous, why is there no quantity when the grain is shipped out, what is the reason?" Ye Hua asked sharply.

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, they said that the military situation is urgent, and transporting grain to the army is different from levying land taxes in peacetime. There are rules for how much is levied and how much is delivered, and under normal circumstances, the loss is about 30%. However, the military rations must be delivered on time, and the roads are difficult, and there will be a sneak attack by enemy soldiers, so it is impossible to say how much is lost. ”

"Sometimes, even tens of thousands of stones are escorted over, but when they encounter enemy soldiers, or flash floods, or sink into the river, not a grain of grain can be delivered. If a specific amount is issued, it will affect the delivery of military rations. Therefore, it is best to refer to the number received before the army! ”

"Fart!"

Ye Hua directly burst into foul language, "No matter how confused you are, can you still have a number?" If the local warehouse is seriously empty, the magistrate can report that it was shipped out as military rations, and the small officials who transported it can deduce that it is consumed on the road, and the result is that the deficit is gone! Right? ”

Zhao Pu nodded again and again, "Master Hou is really smart!" By transporting military rations to the front, local officials cleared the deficit over the years, and some people took the opportunity to make a lot of profits, and they made a lot of money! As a result, the front line received less than one million stone of grain, but the imperial court spent more than ten million stone! These people are complicit, bold, and treat military affairs and the people's fat and people's ointment as child's play, and it is simply not enough to kill the people! ”

Ye Hua nodded, but laughed again.

"What are you telling me about this, since you have figured out the situation, you can write to Your Majesty and impeach the princes of the political affairs hall, saying that they are corrupt for personal gain, and they are greedy for the people's money."

Zhao Pu grinned bitterly, "Master Hou, I dare to say that several ministers don't know, even if they do, but in order to supply military supplies and recover Yanyun, they have no better way, just this case, I am afraid it is inappropriate to investigate the guilt of the ministers." Moreover, this practice has been practiced for many years, and the root cause is still conservative and has accumulated disadvantages for a hundred years. If you want to solve it, you should start from the root. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Ye Hua asked curiously, he really wanted to see what tricks this prime minister's talent could come up with.

"Master Hou, at present, the local officials, they are in charge of the regular liquidation, and they are also responsible for transporting grain and grass, everything is decided by one person, so it is inevitable that there will be drawbacks. My opinion is restructuring! ”

"How?"

"Set up a history of transferring, specifically responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, and then add officials who promote regular liquidation. If someone is in charge of the permanent liquidation, the local officials will not be able to encroach on it at will, and the transshipment envoy will supervise the permanent liquidation, and if there is a shortfall, it will be dealt with immediately. As for the heavy task of transporting grain and grass, it is to be completed by the transshipment envoy and the local government, so that the three parties have mutual supervision and control, although they cannot eliminate the deficit, but they can also solve many problems, does Hou Ye think so? ”
