Seeing that the first month of the new year is coming to an end, it is less than a month before the beginning of spring in March.

In addition to Ming Zifu's busy work, he also came to the Sanli Pavilion at the north gate of Xiangcheng, and the people who came today made Ming Zifu such a posture, not because of how high his official position was, but because these people were very important to Nanjun.

The person who came was naturally Feng Ci, the chief secretary of Shanglin Yuan, and the dozens of officials of Shangshu Mansion who brought over.

Seeing that Feng Ci not only came over by himself, but also brought dozens of officials, Ming Zifu was also overjoyed and said: "Thank you Master Feng!" ”

"Ming Gong...... Torment...... Torture the lower officials! Feng Ci replied stuttering.

Ming Zifu knew that Feng Ci was born with a stutter, and he didn't dwell on this matter, but pulled Feng Ci's sleeve with a smile, and said kindly: "A certain told the commander about the situation in Nanjun, and Han Qing bluntly recommended Master Feng, it seems that Han Qing also attaches great importance to Master Feng!" ”

Feng Ci nodded, and then said, "Duke Ming, family teacher...... Now in ...... ...... the Northland Overseeing the ...... of the war War...... Can't ...... in person Coming from ...... Feel...... Sorry ......"

Feng Ci's words were no longer as stuttering as when he first met Lin Yuyan, but he was still a little intermittent.

Ming Zifu didn't embarrass Feng Ci after all, and said: "It's okay, which is more important, I know it, and I also believe that Han Qing has the confidence to recommend Feng to the master book...... Let's not say much for the time being, a certain person has already set up a reception banquet in Xiangcheng to wash the dust for Master Feng and the officials who came from afar in Nanyang! ”

Hearing this, Feng Ci nodded, and the guest followed the host and entered Xiangcheng.

Now the main thing in Xiangcheng is the doorman raised by Ming Zifu when he was a commoner in Wancheng in the past, and Qin Bo also arranged some other manpower, but for Nanjun, which has a land boundary of not less than Nanyang County and a population of more than 400,000, this manpower is undoubtedly stretched.

At that moment, as soon as Feng Ci came, taking advantage of the preparation of wine and food for the reception, he asked Ming Zifu to take him to the Tianmu Library to watch.

"Ming Gong...... If you want to...... Want to ...... in South County Administer...... Shanglin Court ...... The Dharma...... The Land Thing...... Top priority! Feng Ci specially bit the syllables of the four words "top priority".

As a commonplace for many years, Ming Zifu naturally knew about these things, and nodded and replied: "A certain person has already sent someone to count the acres of land within a radius of dozens of miles in Xiangcheng, as for other places, it is really difficult to complete Daqin's manpower in Xiangcheng now." ”

Feng Ci asked directly: "Ming Gong...... There can be ...... Tian Mu Painting ...... Books & Accounts...... Book ......"

Ming Zifu nodded, and took Feng Ci to the place where he visited these things, pointing to a dozen large boxes stacked with wooden tablets and paper, and signaling Feng Ci to be it.

Seeing these things, Feng Ci seemed to have forgotten the fact that Ming Zifu was the county guard of Nanjun, and regardless of etiquette, he crossed Ming Zifu, sat in front of the big box, picked up the picture book and account book of Tian Mu in his hand and looked at it.

Almost ten lines at a glance, after Ming Zifu saw Feng Ci pick up a book, he directly opened it and glanced at it, then put it together and put it beside him, and then picked up another book and continued to scan, so that Ming Zifu felt that Feng Ci was not perfunctory to himself.

Without time for half a pillar of incense, Feng Ci raised his head to look at Ming Zifu, only to find that the book he had opened at random just now was already piled up on the ground, and he said with some accusations: "Yes...... Resignation ...... Abrupt ......"

"Nothing!" Ming Zifu waved his hand, indicating that he was not to blame, in such a short period of time, Ming Zifu didn't expect Feng Ci to see anything, so he said: "Master Feng, it's almost time to start the banquet, go to the banquet with a certain person!" ”

Feng Ci shook his head and asked directly to Ming Zifu, "Ming Gong...... These...... Books and ...... Tian Mu is ...... Who is it...... Place...... Sorted out ......"

Ming Zifu replied: "It was sorted out by a certain doorman, what's wrong?" ”

Feng Ci asked, "Ming Gong's ...... Doorman...... It's Nanyang...... Coming from Nanyang? ”

Akiko nodded.

Seeing this, Feng Ci's brows were even deeper, and he spoke directly to Ming Zifu: "This matter ...... Odd...... Books and ...... acres of land...... There is a wrong root...... Ben can't match ......"

"How so!" For what Feng Ci said, Ming Zifu was very disbelieving, the disciples he raised under his hands were people who had followed him for more than ten years, and when he was in Wancheng, there was never a mistake in dealing with the matter of paying taxes on acres of land, and he had also seen these account books and acres himself, and he couldn't see any mistakes at all.

In this regard, Feng Ci did not blame, and immediately cited an example, pointing to an account book and a picture album of acres and acres: "Here...... acres of land...... About ...... 300 acres...... Last year's collection...... Ninety ...... The ...... of the Three Stones Taxes, but in ...... This ...... This book...... It reads...... This year's flooding ...... No ...... of granules"

Feng Ci handed the account book to Ming Zifu as he spoke, and said, "Ming Gong...... Might as well...... Chase these ninety-three stones...... Read on...... You know...... ...... of the accounts Issue. ”

Ming Zifu took Feng Ci's account book and got Feng Ci's reminder that he was the Sikong of Daqin, in charge of the taxation of acres of land, and this ninety-three stone grain was an introduction, which immediately aroused Ming Zifu's vigilance, and he immediately chased the ninety-three stones to look down, and the ninety-three stones were collected as taxes, and after arriving at the treasury of a city in Nanjun, there was no follow-up, and Feng Ci handed over another account book, which said that the treasury of the city and the granaries of Xiangcheng and the granaries of various places were "exchanged" Several times the grain.

Yes, that's right, it's just that they exchanged food a few times, at least Ming Zifu thinks that the means in this city where you send me food today and I give you food tomorrow is exchange.

This is written in different books, but if you look at it and connect it, it is not difficult to find out.

The past grain stocks of Nanjun have been used up in the process of constantly exchanging grain stocks in various places! It is often that there are thousands of stones left in today's grain, and in just a few days of mutual reversal, there are only dozens of stones left, and there is a deficit of such a number of grains, Ming Zifu saw it for the first time, and he really felt a little shocked!

Where did it go, it's not difficult to guess, apart from the old clan of Nanjun who holds local authority, who else can there be?!

At this time, Feng Ci spoke again and said: "Ming Gong is still ...... There you have it...... Resignation from Xiangcheng...... Come from the north and ...... all the way ...... Many...... Land, Estimated...... Underneath has been ...... Not less than ten...... 10,000 acres...... But...... This book of accounts...... But it is ...... Only...... More than 10,000 acres...... Don't save one out of ten! ”

Feng Ci's words were like a slap in the face to Ming Zifu, directly revealing the darkest things hidden in Nanjun in front of Ming Zifu's eyes.

Looking at these accounts, which were already full of loopholes, Ming Zifu's face turned pale, and he even thought of the handwriting of such a large number of deficits.

"Nangun...... Xiang's! ”

Ming Zifu disregarded his manners, and in front of Feng Ci, he gritted his teeth and said these words.
