Of course, this needs to be done step by step, and at the beginning you can't open a bank, you can only implement the 'national debt' system.

The so-called national debt, in fact, to put it bluntly, is to borrow money from the people, and Wang Xu dares to conclude that the people will definitely borrow!

Leaving the barracks, Wang Xu returned to the palace, but as soon as he walked to the Chengqian Palace, Yulin Jun said that Miansheng was waiting in the study, as if there was something important.

When I came to the study, I saw Miansheng standing there motionless and waiting.

"Lord, I found out, and there are signs of corruption in the household department!" Miansheng said with a happy face.

Hearing this, Wang Xu's eyes were cold, he guessed correctly, the officials of the household department were greedy and self-fattening, and they dared to say that they had no money!

Wang Xu still vaguely remembers that three years ago, there were tens of millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of gold in the West, and in the past three years, although it has been used a lot, every year Wenwang Xianjiu is sold across the country, and it makes a lot of money, and it will never be used so quickly.

"Have you found out, who ate the money?"

Wang Xu came to his seat and sat down.

Miansheng slowly took out a piece of music, handed it to Wang Xu, and said: "The household department made the fake accounts seamless, and it was almost impossible to verify, but the subordinates inadvertently discovered a loophole. ”

"Two years ago, Wenqing, the head of the household department, allocated two million silver to Liaoyuan County, Hexi County, saying that the chief of Kuzen wanted to build a Taoist temple, and this matter was agreed by the six departments, and it was also a normal consumption."

"However, according to Jinyiwei in Liaoyuan County, there is no Taoist temple in Liaoyuan County, and all the two million taels of silver were swallowed up by household officials and Liaoyuan County orders."

Speaking of this, Miansheng said with a little regret: "The humble position is also a conjecture, two million taels of silver were swallowed up by officials, but there is no substantial evidence of the humble position, but the humble position is sure that the household department does have such an account, and it does broadcast two million taels of silver." And the silver, I don't know where it goes. ”

As soon as Miansheng finished speaking, Wang Xu understood, it seems. The officials of the household department are indeed extremely bold, and they dare to be corrupt under their own hands, which is really fatal.

Just thinking about it, Wang Xu was puzzled again.

"If this matter is the mastermind of Wen Qing, then with Wen Qing's wisdom and power. How could it be possible to expose this flaw, since it is called building a Taoist temple, then he must at least build one there, so that it can be hidden from people and will not be found out. ”

Miansheng nodded, he had also thought about this problem, and after verification, Miansheng had figured out this problem.

Miansheng said: "Humble conjecture, it should be the county order of Liaoyuan County to deceive the superiors and subordinates. Swallowed up all the money given to him by the household department, because in this way, the prefectural magistrate could get more money. ”

"Money is a good thing, but you have to spend it with your life!" Wang Xu sneered.

Since someone dares to be greedy, then don't blame yourself for being unkind.

Wang Xu snorted coldly: "You have to continue to make secret visits, see if there are any other places of corruption in the household department, once you find out, report back to me immediately, as for the matter of Liaoyuan County." You don't have to worry about it, I will immediately send the minister to investigate, and I must find out this bold official. ”

"No."

Miansheng replied and left.

...............

Next. Wang Xu came to Wenyuan Pavilion again, and now Wenyuan Pavilion can be said to be full of talents, there are more than 20 scholars, but most of them are on business, or concurrently serve as officials of the six ministries. Only a very small number of university scholars stay here, teaching students every day, or dealing with Wenyuan Pavilion trivial matters.

Coming to the lobby of Wenyuan Pavilion, the remaining eight scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion immediately came to pay their respects, and the eight of them sat on both sides, waiting for Wang Xu's orders.

Wang Xu glanced at everyone and said, "Among you, who has the highest resourcefulness?" ”

The eight of them rolled their eyes in unison, which made one answer; The literati are all relatively modest, how to say it, in fact, the eight people are not convinced by anyone, but they are embarrassed to say.

In the end, one person still spoke: "King Wen, the so-called Wen has no first, Wu has no second, if you want to say who has the highest resource, it is difficult to tell." ”

"And what's your name?" Wang Xu looked at the person who spoke.

"Humble Due."

Due, Wang Xu thought about it, he hadn't heard of this name, but since he said it, then this person.

"Okay, Doue stay, and the rest of us will step aside." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Yes."

After a while, the remaining seven left, leaving only Du E alone in the lobby, sitting opposite Wang Xu.

Du E is also a resourceful person, he vaguely guessed that Wang Xu must have some important task to deliver, and he couldn't find anyone for a while, so he came to this Wenyuan Pavilion to find someone.

"What is the matter with King Wen, just give orders." Due said with a straight look.

Wang Xu said: "I have something important I want you to do, but... I'm worried that you won't be able to do it. ”

"King Wen, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Wang Xu took out a piece of music from his cuffs, handed it to Du E, and said: "Look for yourself, the task I gave you is to check Liaoyuan County, if you can find out, there will be a heavy reward when you come back!" ”

After reading all the information on the recital, Du E felt that this matter was important and difficult, but he did not give up and promised: "King Wen rest assured, Du E will do his best to investigate and recover the dirty silver." ”

"Okay, then I will appoint you as the minister of the Qin Mission now, and go to Liaoyuan County in person, I will wait for your good news in the Western Capital, and I hope you will return triumphantly!"

Wang Xu smiled.

"King Xie Wen."

continued to explain some things, Wang Xu left Wenyuan Pavilion, and now he has more important things to do, as for the investigation of corrupt officials, he doesn't have to worry about himself.

The next day, after receiving the appointment, Du Er quickly rushed to Hexi County, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers from Shuntianfu to protect him, and he had all kinds of honor guards, which was very majestic, but the group of scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion were angry.

Everyone was regretting that if they had been the first to speak that day, perhaps they would have been the ones who were majestic.

...............

The northern suburbs of the western capital.

There is a house here, magnificent, quite majestic, the plaque of this courtyard, written 'Wenfu' two big characters.

Wen Qing, the book of the household department, Wen Qing's mansion!

At this time, in the study on the inside of the courtyard, Wen Qing was anxiously walking back and forth, and on the side, two black-clothed men stood straight, as if waiting for orders.

"My lord, pay attention, the minister will be in Liaoyuan County in a short time." The man in black on the side said.

Wen Qing's face was full of sadness, he learned that Wang Xu sent people to Liaoyuan County, he immediately checked the case in Liaoyuan County, and found that there was no Taoist temple in Liaoyuan County at all, but the accounts of the household department clearly wrote that in order to build the Taoist temple, two million taels of silver were spent, which was originally a huge amount of money, but now nothing has been repaired.

"This Liaoyuan County magistrate is crazy about money! I only know how to take money, but I don't do anything. Wen Qing was angry and slapped the desk.

As soon as Wen Qing thought of the minister sent to Liaoyuan County, his back was cold, now is not the time to hold him accountable, the most important thing is to deal with the aftermath! (To be continued.) )
