As soon as Wang Ningan returned to Xijing, he was called into the palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wang Qing, I know that you have a hard journey, but my heart is burning, how is the progress of Qingtang's affairs, I am still waiting for your good news!"

At Zhao Zhen's age, the most annoying thing is the New Year, but another year has arrived, and he can clearly feel that he is indeed old, and Zhao Zhen is more and more eager to complete more things, at least before he dies, to destroy Xixia!

The Khitan was still before the Great Song Dynasty, there was nothing to say, but the Western Xia rebelled during Zhao Zhen's reign, if he couldn't be pacified, he wouldn't have the face to see his ancestors and ancestors, and he couldn't face his children.

From an emperor who is not keen on side affairs to a king who looks forward to expanding his territory every day, Uncle Zhao's changes are really big enough!

"Your Majesty, when the battle between Chuanbao and Dingqiang City was fought, our army had already taken the gateway to Qingtang." Wang Ningan said: "Just wait for the beginning of spring next year, the army will attack Hezhou and Huangzhou, but before that, there are still two things to do." ”

"Speak!"

"The first is to suppress Western Xia, lest Li Liangzuo send troops to interfere, which will inevitably lead to wild profits and beggars. As for the second piece, the minister is waiting. ”

"Wait?"

"That's right, the minister is waiting for the mountain character camp to practice!"

"Is it the Shanzi camp that Cao Ping is trying his best to squeeze into?"

Wang Ningan nodded hurriedly, although Zhao Zhen trusted him and reused him, there were some things that could not be hidden from the emperor, such as the secret weapon of the Shanzi camp, if you didn't let the emperor know, what kind of heart did you have, could it be that you wanted to assassinate the emperor?

Therefore, when it was formed, Wang Ningan reported truthfully to Zhao Zhen.

"Wang Qing, I still don't understand, what is the difference between this Shanzi Camp and my Imperial City Division? It stands to reason that spying on intelligence and assassinating enemies is also very good at this kind of thing. ”

"Your Majesty, that's the case, the Shanzi battalion is selected from the elite of the whole army, and then carry out adaptive training, they are equipped with crossbows, poison arrows, daggers, waist knives and other weapons, can sneak attack the enemy camp unconsciously, go deep into the rear, carry out sabotage, disturb the morale of the army, attack grain and grass, if necessary, can also organize a strong attack and assassination, seize important nodes, and play a role in surprise. The task is somewhat similar to that of the Imperial City Division, but their means are different, the Imperial City Division is biased, while the Shanzi Battalion is more military, clean and neat, decisive and fast, compared to the Imperial City Division, it is more suitable for use with the army. ”

In short, the Imperial City Division is the Intelligence Bureau, and they also engage in assassination and reconnaissance of military intelligence, but they just want to cast a long line to catch big fish, and get useful things by approaching the other party's high-level officials.

The Shanzi Battalion, on the other hand, is a special forces, and the tasks they carry out are more tactical, confrontational, and dangerous......

After Zhao Zhen figured out the difference, he actually smiled.

"I didn't expect that Cao Ping's kid to be so backbone! Not afraid of death, not afraid of hardship, is a good example! ”

Wang Ningan's face darkened, "Sage, Uncle Guo is going to kill me because of his son." Cao Ping, don't stay in the Shanzi camp, you can put it anywhere! ”

"No way!"

Zhao Zhen said categorically: "Except for the Shanzi Camp, he is not allowed to go anywhere!" If you can't get into the mix, don't come to see me! Zhao Zhen snorted angrily: "Jing Xiu went there and said that if he can't even compare with the knowledge of a child, I will let him also go to the Shanzi Camp to experience and have a father and son soldier in battle!" ”

Wang Ningan hurriedly shut up, but he was secretly laughing in his heart, Uncle Guo, it's not that I don't help you, it's your brother-in-law's meaning, no way, God's will!

……

said some things from the front, and finally transferred to the case in the capital.

"Wang Qing, it's been almost ten months, after the introduction of the Qingmiao Law, there has been more chaos, the matter of Jiaozi, the matter of Qingtang, have all been together, Wen Xiangcheng is investigating this case, what do you think? Could it be that I am in the Song Dynasty, and there are really people who are not used to seeing me expanding my territory and deliberately hindering my back? What exactly do they want to do? ”

Facing Uncle Zhao's questioning, Wang Ningan said: "The official, the minister is also thinking about it these days, forgive the minister's courage, some things are indeed simple." ”

"How?"

"Since the first year of Tiansheng, Guanjiaozi has been issued for more than 30 years, and 1.26 million guans were issued in the first year, so calculated that in the past 30 years, the Jiaozi issued will be at least 30 million guan, deducting the part recovered from depreciation, there will be at least 15 million guanjiao on the market! This is only official, and the amount of private Jiaozi is even more difficult to estimate...... Bashu is the country of abundance, the people are abundant, but there is a lack of metal currency, how many Jiaozi there are, I'm afraid no one can tell. In recent years, Jiaozi has depreciated by more than seventy percent, and the wealth of many ordinary merchants has disappeared, where does the evaporated money go? It is even more difficult to say how many people have filled their pockets, and how many people have taken advantage of Jiaozi's overfortune to amass private wealth and occupy fields and shops. ”

Wang Ningan originally wanted to swallow Jiaoziwu, and then directly rely on the Royal Bank to issue banknotes.

But when he really sent someone to check the accounts of the sons, Wang Ningan was immediately startled, and he found that it was a bottomless pit at all.

Now he had to temporarily shut down his business and let the Royal Bank issue a separate set of banknotes. As for the inventory of the accounts of the subordinate affairs, it is non-stop.

The more he checked, the more Wang Ning was shocked and shuddered!

In the past 30 years, Jiaoziwu has not paid a penny to the imperial court, on the contrary, he has spent tens of thousands of guan every year, or even hundreds of thousands!

It's ridiculous!

How many shady scenes there are and how many people will be implicated in this, you can think about it with your toes.

No wonder Wen Yanbo can't hold back, there are too many stories behind this.

Zhao Zhen frowned, showing a contemplative expression, and said after a while: "Wang Qing, people say that Jiaozi can't be checked, what do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks that if he doesn't check it today, he won't check it tomorrow, and he will check it the day after tomorrow! The official Jiaozi is stamped with the big seal of the imperial court, which is related to the royal reputation, if you don't take advantage of the fact that Jiaozi still has some value, thoroughly figure things out and standardize the financial order. When Jiaozi becomes worthless, it will be difficult to recover at that time! ”

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes.

If you don't check it early, you don't check it late, you have to check it sooner or later!

That's right, if I don't check, the emperor will also check!

Well, let me do the dirty work, and I will do the things that offend people!

"Wang Qing, are you willing to investigate this case thoroughly for me."

"Obey the order!"

Wang Ning'an's voice raised an octave.

Zhao Zhen nodded happily, "Okay, you and Wen Xianggong are in charge of this case together, remember, no matter who is involved, even if it is a child of the clan, even if it is someone close to me, it must be investigated to the end, and it will not be tolerated!" And not only to investigate, but also to rebuild Jiaozi's confidence, I am ready to issue banknotes, raise military funds, sweep away the Qing Tang Dynasty, and recover Western Xia...... Wang Qing, don't let me down! ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will not fail in his mission!"

……

Coming out of the palace, Wang Ningan was shrouded in a murderous aura from head to toe.

Obviously, Zhao Zhen had already given him Shang Fang's sword.

For a while, Wang Ningan has been dormant, and Zhao Zhen didn't really give him too heavy a task, of course, teaching the prince is one thing, but in fact, it may not be overwhelming...... In the final analysis, the current Wang Ning'an's official position is too high, too young, and too powerful. In the past, he killed all sides and offended the political affairs hall, Zhao Zhen dared to use him without hesitation, but he reined in his edge, repaired relations with Wen Yanbo and Jia Changchao, and used the Six Arts Academy to extend his influence to Shilin...... At this point, even if Uncle Zhao trusts him again, he must have reservations.

From a certain point of view, this case is a vote!

Wang Ningan needs to prove himself again, he and the civil official are not all the way, so Uncle Zhao can rest assured that he will have more power!

"Lao Wen, how many things have been found? Don't tell me, you won't find anything! ”

Wang Ningan said with a smile.

Wen Yanbo looked up from the pile of papers, saw him coming, and smiled.

"If you can't find anything, you won't be flattened? Sit down. ”

Lao Wen asked Wang Ningan to sit down, busy pouring tea, and asking people to take snacks, that kind of diligence, needless to say.

"Alright, you can rest!"

Wang Ningan said angrily: "Xianggong Wen, do you want me to take the blame for you again?" ”

Wen Yanbo hesitated, and hurriedly shook his head, "What's the matter, I just encountered a little problem, please Erlang give me an idea." ”

"Say it."

"That's the case, the old man asked people to check, and the order given to Yizhou at that time was indeed for them to raise 200,000 stone military rations, but at that time, the Yizhou prefect Yamen had a deficit, and Jiaozi Wu transferred 200,000 stone military rations to them, and it was against the account of Chang Liquidation. They thought that Yu Longke was just a small leader of the Fan tribe, and he didn't dare to fall out with the Great Song Dynasty, so they gave them a little friendship and sent them away. ”

"Fart!"

Wang Ningan scolded angrily: "Siyi is already unruly and difficult to deal with, and he dares to ignore it so lightly, it's just a joke about national affairs!" ”

Wen Yanbo nodded hurriedly, "What Erlang said is that the problem now is on the Yizhou side, do you know why they are in a hurry to wipe the accounts that are usually closed?" ”

"Is it because of the Seedlings Law?"

"That's right, the imperial court wants to promote the Qingmiao Law, although it starts from the northwest, but Bashu is also a key area, and we must first find out the grain stocks in various places, and someone must have gotten the news, so they thought of using misappropriation to make up for the shortfall."

"Humph! Militaristic affairs, does the Yizhou prefect have the courage to do so? Yizhou handed over the affairs of the subordinate, and it was not under the control of the Yizhou prefect, so why did he transfer the 200,000 yuan of military rations to the local yamen? No one nods, do they dare? ”

Wen Yanbo gave a thumbs up.

"Erlang is really shrewd, the laws of the military food court are strict, and they can never be ambiguous, if it is not for the instruction of the Privy Council, they will never dare to embezzle it without authorization."

Wang Ningan suddenly smiled, "Xianggong Wen, Pang Xianggong was recuperating at that time, and Wang Gongchen was responsible for the affairs of the Privy Council, right?" ”

"Right...... The old man was about to ask him again, but Erlang also knew that after all, he was the ruler of the dynasty, and it was about the face of the court, so he couldn't be reckless! ”

"Humph!" Wang Ningan snorted, "Lao Wen, you don't have to play tricks, to make it clear, you don't want to offend people." You're afraid, but I'm not afraid! Come, sign an official document for me immediately, and I'll go and arrest Wang Gongchen! The words were relaxed, as if drinking cold water, but Wen Yanbo's eyes were round!

That's a retainer!

It's not a cat or a dog! Can you catch it casually?
