The price of grain in Jingshi is very expensive now, and a stone of ordinary stalk rice costs one or two silver, which is twice as much as in normal times! At that time, one stone was about 94.4 kilograms, and one tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice. The purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is about 1,000 yuan equivalent to the current soft sister coin, and the price of terrier rice is equivalent to the current 5.2 yuan per catty soft sister coin, and the prices of other grains have increased to varying degrees.

Originally, the rebellion around Nanzhili had been suppressed, but since Mr. Wu Hao instigated the first robbery of Caoyun, the Xiangma people knew the taste of the marrow and continued to attack and rob Caoyun, and only about half of the Caoyun could pass through Shandong. In addition, because the Central Plains has set off battles for grain everywhere, the grain transported to Beijing from other places is also a drop in the bucket. In addition, Lin Shenhe used the stolen money to buy grain at a high price in Tanggu, and many rats stole the grain and sold it one after another. Wang Sen was also in Shandong, buying the robbers' stolen goods. In the end, only one-third of the usual amount of grain could be transported to Jingshi.

"On the sixth day of the first month of June, strong winds blew in the towns of Cangzhou, Jinghai and Wuqiao in Beizhili, and the boats attacked each other, drowning 23 people and losing 3,157 stones." People from all walks of life took the opportunity to add to the chaos, grabbed grain for money, and counted the shortage of grain into the losses of this typhoon. In the end, the reported losses were: 212 people drowned, 8,376 stones!

When the news reached Beijing, the imperial court was shaken. Huguang Dao Dao Yu Shi Lin Dao Nan took the opportunity to sparse: Su, Song, Chang, Jia, and Hu five prefectures accepted the amount of white grain and sent 200,000 stones. In the ninth year of Wanli, it was stipulated that nanometers were one stone, but five liters of rice were added, and now they are added to four buckets and five liters; 100 nano stones, but the price of auxiliary pads, foot prices and other silver seven or eight taels, now increased to more than 20 taels. In this way, the white grain will be transported from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing, three stones and become one stone, and the loss to Beijing will be subject to this unwarranted demand, if you do not try to prohibit it, you will be poor. Please order the Provincial Officer and the Prison Officer to investigate this malpractice.

Originally, Lin Daonan was written on July 20, but now due to the soaring price of grain, it has been released in June ahead of schedule.

Wanli is furious again, damn it! I raised a bunch of robbers and thieves! Now the wild robbers are also making trouble everywhere, and this day is over! Jiubian is not honest, except for Liaodong and Jizhen, other border towns will only continue to roll and splash, asking for money and food, and Ningxia's Bibai is the most excessive. I didn't do anything after taking the money, and I couldn't suppress the chaos in several places. Can't those bastards in the court let me worry?!

is still loyal to his own slaves and maids, Wang An governs Nanzhili in an orderly manner, and Chen Ju goes to preside over the reconstruction of Nu'er Gancheng, why can't there be more such slaves and maids! Liaoning's slave Hachi is also very loyal, he doesn't have much food, and he also offers a lot of Liaoning's special cattle and sheep, seafood, peppers, cabbage and so on (Liaoning will not offer staple food.) I'm too embarrassed to ask for more.

The emperor was angry, so he naturally wanted to find someone to vent. The household department, the military department, and the criminal department were all reprimanded by order, and many ministers who often shouted in support of the eldest prince were also dragged by the emperor to the court staff and dragged to the front of the noon gate with their bare buttocks. The other ministers had ghosts in their hearts, and they didn't make a sound to plead, and the imperial historians didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Wanli replied to Lin Daonan: The dismissal of white grain is pitiful, and if there are extraordinarily extortors in the treasury bureaus, the secretary will supervise and inspect the reform. In addition, the director of the ceremonial supervisor checked the grain in the official warehouse of the Beijing division and checked the number of transportation.

Big trouble! If it is really checked and verified, many people will have to lose their heads. In the past, I would have had to stuff some money in the bottom. Now it's not good, with Chen Ju and Wang An in front, the internal officials are all shouting that they want to make contributions and get the favor of the emperor.

The officials with ghosts in their hearts have rarely created extremely high efficiency, the early dynasty has not yet dispersed, the internal officials are still arranging and dividing shifts, the Beijing division has been billowing smoke, and many official warehouses have been set on fire.

The emperor was furious this time, I just said that I wanted to check the official warehouse, and you immediately caught fire, when I Zhu Yijun is a fool! Immediately dismissed the envoys of Song Qi, the secretary of the household department, and the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and raided his house and sent him to prison. Yang Junmin, the son of Yang Bo, the former secretary of the military department, took over as the secretary of the household department, and Yang Bo's achievements as an official are obvious, and he hopes that his son can make some achievements.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1404), and the Ming Dynasty Chengzu set up the Beijing Terracotta Command Division after setting up the capital of Beijing. That is, the command of the soldiers and horses of the five cities in the central, eastern, western, southern and northern cities is the six-grade yamen. The Terracotta Division of the Ming Dynasty was subordinate to the Ministry of War. This department is mainly responsible for law and order, fire prohibition and ditch and street grooming. When the Division was first established, all the officials in the neighborhood who had water and fire thieves and officials who had a detailed history or need to hear about them could respond to the call at once, put out fires, patrol the night, and be honest and honest, without taking a penny. However, after a long time, the disadvantages occurred, first arresting thieves, then stealing thieves, and finally taking funds from thieves, and colluding with thieves, which was unpopular.

Dongchang took the lead, and Jinyi rode out in all directions, leading the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to investigate, search, and raid their homes.

It was noon, and the emperor drank some white porridge in a teacup, and the rest of the people in the hall were hungry, and their stomachs sounded like thunder, but no one dared to say more. Waiting and waiting, the emperor also felt that something was wrong, and gave the ministers refreshments to fill their stomachs, and the older ones also gave an embroidered pier to sit on.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei came back one after another to report, but the situation was very maddening: the fire in the official warehouse was fierce, but it burned out quickly, and there was no ash of grain in the disaster field; The officials guarding the official warehouse were all killed, and some of their family members were also killed; The homes of Song Qi and the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division found a huge amount of property and a large amount of food, and they were convicted of corpse food and dereliction of duty.

Wanli listened to the anger even more, leaning on the dragon chair and panting, and the cabinet knelt down with the relevant courtiers and shouted guilt and asked for punishment.

At this time, Shuntianfu played urgently, Tongzhou Wharf fired, Caoyun Wharf warehouses were all on fire, and Tongzhou Wei was struggling to extinguish the fire. Tongzhou Zhizhou knew that his sin was unforgivable and died in the fire.

"Smack!" Wanli shot the case, "Shameless! Outrageous! East factory, Jinyiwei! Check it out for me, and find out all those silverfish and rats! Cha ......" The weak body slowly sat down, and the hall was suddenly in chaos......

Fortunately, Wanli recently drank too much Liaoning ginseng tea, and although his blood qi was weak, it was very smooth and did not burst his blood vessels. After a short rest, you can still relax. Wanli, who calmed down, also took advantage of this time to think about it seriously, officials and officials are mutually exclusive, and it is difficult to investigate the matter deeply, so he can only take the opportunity to get rid of some ministers who are against him, hurry up, and he can gain something. In addition, it is to send heavy troops to protect the grain, and then scavenge everywhere to ensure the food supply of the Beijing Division.

Wanli decreed: Song Qi, XXX (failed to find the name of the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division in the seventeenth year of Wanli), greedy for ink and dereliction of duty, the crime is unforgivable, issued an edict, after verifying the accomplices, peel off the skin and grass, the family property is filled into the inner treasury, and the family members are charged to Liaoning; The official guarding officer of the official warehouse and the governor of Tongzhou have died and will no longer be pursued, the family property is filled into the inner treasury, and the family members are charged to the army in Liaoning; Other dereliction of duty in the official warehouse, the whole family was charged to Liaoning, and the family property was filled into the inner treasury; The household department, the military department, and the criminal department were negligent in their duties, and the original officials at or above the rank of foreigner were fined one year to set an example; Where the person recommending the offender is unknown, and he is still in office, he shall be fined half a year; Dongchang, Jinyiwei, together with Dali Temple, the three divisions will be tried, and the investigation will be carried out strictly; The Imperial Horse Warden sent soldiers and horses to protect the Cao Yun ......

The people of the Manchu Dynasty hated Lin Daonan, who provoked this incident, to death.

The sun is about to set in the west, and the uncomfortable pilgrimage meeting is over. Wanli was about to announce his retirement from the court, but there was chaos outside the hall. "My son, if you have a good one, you won't live for your mother......" The two old ladies who got the news cried and rushed into the main hall......
