Listening to Zhenwu's edict, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but be stunned, and they had already sealed the warehouse? And it is the infantry army used to lead the yamen and the new army of the Praetorian Guard! The princes and ministers who were involved in the grain business couldn't help but be frightened, Zhenwu didn't use the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, but instead mobilized the new Janissaries from Shunyi, was this to rectify the warehouse or to rush at them?

Wang Luo couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, this is an errand that offends people, looking at Zhenwu's posture, it is completely to comprehensively clean up and rectify the warehouse, I don't know how many people will be involved behind this, and Tian Congdian and the other four people are worried and happy, worried that this errand is hot, but with this errand, they don't have to worry about being adjusted, perform well, and even have the possibility of promotion, the five people did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Ministers." ”

Zhenwu glanced at the courtiers and said lightly: "There is no agriculture, no stability, no business, no life, for commerce and trade, I have always strongly encouraged and supported. Businessmen seeking profit is a matter of course, which is understandable, but there must be a way for business, and when pursuing profit, we must also take into account justice and conscience, and we must always be in awe, honest, faithful, and self-interested, which is the most simple and basic business way.

For the remnants of the people and harm to the people, damage to the public and private businessmen, the imperial court must be severely punished, the grain merchants in Beijing will gather in the strange place when the disaster occurs, raise the price of grain, collude with the warehouse officials inside and outside, embarrassment, embezzlement of official grain, disaster to the country and the people, is really a business scum, this time to clean up and check the official warehouse, the illegal grain merchants must also be severely punished, no matter who is involved, I will be investigated to the end. ”

These words can be said to be a dagger, and all the princes and ministers understood that cleaning up and rectifying the granary was just a pretense, and the ultimate goal was to adjust the officials.

Several ministers of the upper study were also secretly worried, although Zhenwu's words were to find a reason for cracking down on grain merchants, but they also revealed the meaning of encouraging and advocating commerce and trade, before. He has only raised the status of craftsmen, and now encourages the development of commerce, and in the long run, how can agriculture not be affected? Although worried. But several people knew in their hearts that they could not be advised at the moment, and they could only find an opportunity later.

The news that the infantry army commanded the yamen and the soldiers and horses of the new army of the Praetorian Guard sealed the capital and passed all the granaries and rice shops soon spread throughout the capital, and the gentry and common people did not know much about the fraud of the officials in the warehouse, and the reaction was relatively weak, but the big grain merchants and rice shops in the capital raised their prices in the face of disasters. They can be said to have suffered deeply, and as soon as the news of the closure of the major rice shops spread, the gentry and the common people all applauded.

Seeing this situation, all the small grain shops in the capital that were not controlled were so frightened that they closed their doors and prepared to wait and see, but unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, soon came to the door and ordered them to open for business, but there were no restrictions on the price of grain. But in this case, who would dare to sell grain at a high price? The price of grain immediately fell to one tael or three pennies and a stone.

Still, the price of grain was three cents more than the official price. A group of people are more willing to go to the Five Cities Rice Bureau to buy grain, but the gentry who are a little picky about rice and wheat have already prepared enough rations, so although the price has been reduced, there has been no rush to buy, and the front of the Five Cities Rice Bureau is still crowded with people.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Luo, Tian Congdian and other five people deliberately stayed at the end, and one was afraid that acquaintances would intercede. Second, how should this case be handled, and to what extent should the so-called thorough investigation be investigated? They don't know the bottom of their hearts. As soon as the five of them came out of the Qianqing Palace, Bao Fuquan hurriedly chased after him from behind and said, "The emperor summons all the adults. ”

Listening to Zhenwu's summons, Wang Luo and the five of them were secretly relieved. It seems that Zhenwu has specific instructions, so it will be much easier to do, and a few people hurriedly followed Bao Fu into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and after kowtowing, Zhenwu said lightly: "Excuse me, flat body." After the five people got up, he said: "The state set up a warehouse, is to prepare for war and famine, it can be described as a good intention, if it is not done well, it will be a nuisance, damage to the reputation of the court, a small matter, delay the war or relief from the famine, it is a big disaster." …,

If today's Chengping, the country is rich and the people are abundant, the granaries built in various places have sprung up, and official warehouses, regular positions, community warehouses, and righteous warehouses abound, but if the management is not good, is it not a vain? ”

Could it be that the rectification of Beijing and Tongcang is just the beginning? Zhenwu This is to rectify the granary of the whole country? Wang Luo was distracted for a moment, and immediately bowed down and said: "The emperor's holy thoughts are far-reaching, and the ministers are ashamed. ”

"You should be ashamed." Zhenwu said mercilessly: "How many granaries have been built in various places over the years? Have you investigated the current situation of granary management? Can you know the deficit of granaries in various places? ”

Hearing this, where did Wang Luo dare to stand upright, and hurriedly knelt down, and the other four people saw it, and quickly knelt down, Wang Luo took off the top on his head, kowtowed lightly, and said: "Weichen and other corpses have a vegetarian meal, and pray for the emperor to punish him." ”

Zhenwu glanced at the three of them, groaned slightly, and then said: "This time the rectification of Beijing and Tongcang is to set up a sample for all parts of the Qing Dynasty to clean up and rectify the granary, therefore, it is not only necessary to be thorough, but also to improve the granary management system. ”

"Honorable Ministers." Wang Luo and the five of them bowed down busily.

"Don't just know the purpose of kowtowing." Zhenwu said with a calm face: "Tell me how you plan to clean it up?" ”

Wang Luo has served as the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites, and he is really not familiar with the warehouse field, and he bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, the micro minister is not familiar with the situation of the warehouse, it is a thorough cleaning and rectification, and the micro minister steals that the accounts should be sealed, and the grain is checked by the warehouse, and the number of the deficit in each warehouse is calculated, and then the deficit is traced, and the means of interrogating a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are engaged in personal fraud, and the management system is finally improved. ”

When Tian Congdian heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain, the warehouses in Beijing and Tong were hundreds, so how many years and months did they have to find out? However, if you don't do this, how can you investigate it thoroughly? Random spot checks are very likely to be missed, and once they are exposed in the future, they will not be able to get rid of their involvement.

"Although this method is stupid, it is the most thorough." Zhenwu nodded slightly: "Since it is a thorough investigation, it should be so." After a slight sigh, he continued: "Don't worry about the lack of manpower, in addition to the competent manpower in each department, you can also go to the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian to transfer manpower, and I will transfer the soldiers of the Fengtai battalion to each warehouse as porters. ”

Thinking of the granary fraud methods he had seen, he advised: "The warehouse has not been thoroughly investigated for many years, and this group of hamsters have been engaged in fraud in an endless stream, and they are renovated. ”

As soon as they heard that even the soldiers of the Fengtai battalion were also transferred to be porters, several people couldn't help but be very excited, this time it was really a thorough investigation, and any old bottom could be found out, and the five of them were busy bowing down and saying: "Ministers and other respects." ”

No one in the capital expected that Zhenwu's so-called thorough investigation would be so thorough, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw a steady stream of soldiers and a large number of officials and prisoners stationed in various warehouses. The princes and ministers who were involved in the grain business were even more anxious like ants on a hot pot, because the grain merchants who had a relationship with them had long been controlled by the soldiers of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, and not only the people were controlled, but the grain depots and houses were under the strict guard of the soldiers, and no one could be found if they wanted to deliver a word.

And Zhenwu put on such a big position to clean up and rectify the warehouse, it is impossible to end hastily, this point, all the officials are well aware, in a hurry, many people have thought of the eighth master Yinxi, the eighth master not only has a good relationship with Zhenwu, but also is anxious for justice and righteousness, and is righteous for others, please ask him to come forward to mediate, not to mention the opening of the net, it is also good to be able to fall lightly. …,

However, to their disappointment, the eighth master was sick at this time and could not see the guest, and everyone knew in their hearts that this was a pretext, but the eighth master was unwilling to meet the guest, and they had no choice.

Lianjun Wangfu, Yinxi did not rest, but read quietly in the study, the old fourteen's intentions he knew very well, it was for the princes and nobles, most of the big grain merchants in the capital are the princes and nobles of the door slaves, in fact, there are a lot of ways to make money in the capital, wood, ginseng, salt are huge profits, far from making money from grain, but that is the territory of the big guys, and although the grain is thin, it is better than the quantity, and more importantly, the officials in the warehouse are mostly the servants of the princes and nobles of the banners, and the cao yun can be brought privately, and the granary can be turnover, without risk, Steady profit and no loss is because most of the princes and nobles have inserted a foot in it, and even Lao Jiuyinyu has a share.

For Yinyu, he is not worried, the old fourteen is not the master of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, no matter what, it will not embarrass the old nine at this time, the reason why he pretends to be sick and rejects the guest is that he is worried that the tree will attract the wind, the power of the Eight Masters is a little bigger, Kangxi is in position to prevent him, the old fourteen is also to guard against him, just the so-called this time, that time, now there is no possibility of the slightest superiority, it is time to cut his wings, and wait until the old fourteen to clean up, but it will be boring, just by himself, even the old nine, the eleven, but it is uncomfortable.

Just as he was thinking about himself, the eunuch Sixizi hurriedly reported at the door: "Master, Prince Zhuang is here." ”

Yinyu raised his head and stared at him angrily, but he didn't have a seizure, because he heard a burst of unhurried footsteps, it should be Bo Guoduo who came in by himself, he hurriedly got up and waved his hand, and said, "Don't serve tea yet." ”

"The eighth child has a lot of leisure." Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo walked in in casual clothes, and said with a smile: "I know that you are pretending to be sick, but I have to ask you for an idea about this matter, don't blame them, I broke in by myself." ”

"I'm not pretending to be sick to avoid trouble." Yinxi said with a wry smile: "Come, please sit down, I'll let them make a pot of tea." ”

Bo Guoduo was not polite, and opened his mouth when he sat down: "I have a shellfish and a second-class duke under the red flag, you have to come forward for me to go to the old fourteen to say goodbye."
