Just after the spring break, Li Cao participated in politics Zhang Pu put forward the matter of Caoyun, which made the governor of Caoyun Gan Xuekuo a little surprised, in fact, the pressure on Gan Xuekuo is very great, the emperor and the court have decided to completely exterminate the Liukou, the army has spread out the posture, such a moment, Caoyun must be unimpeded, but the north has suffered a famine, these years have been famine, the adults in the court have felt tired and numb, but this time the situation is different, the army is conquest, a lot of grain and grass are needed, if the luck is not good, delayed the expedition, Gan Xuekuo could not bear the consequences.

Gan Xuekuo thought about it, and even decided to talk to Zheng Xunrui in private, whether he had compromised so that Caoyun could resume normal operation, but at this time, Zhang Pu raised the matter of Caoyun.

Gan Xuekuo is not very interested in Zhang Pu and others, he always feels that Zhang Pu and others are just a mouth, talking about things is the way, but when it is really implemented, he does not have much ability at all, as the governor of Caoyun, what he needs is not a person who talks about it, but someone who can really do things.

After Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi and Gong Dingyu and others took office in Huaibei, the situation became more and more complicated, and there was an unstable situation in Fengyang Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion. really asked Zhang Pu and others to vigorously promote people's livelihood matters, that is, to find the wrong person.

This made Gan Xuekuo very disappointed, and also made him start to reflect on whether everything he did was correct, and let Zhang Pu and others assist. What should I do if Huaibei is in chaos, Caoyun can't be recovered, and he, the governor of Caoyun, bears the greatest responsibility.

There is no distinction without comparison, after all, Gan Xuekuo is a person who has been a governor, and he knows the difficulty of doing things, think about when Zheng Xunrui was the governor of Caoyun. The north also suffered a small famine, but because of the smooth transportation, a large amount of grain and other commodities were transported to the capital and the north, maintaining the stability of the capital and the north.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Pu took the initiative to raise the matter of Caoyun, but Gan Xuekuo still wanted to listen carefully to see what kind of suggestions Zhang Pu could put forward. So much so that Zhang Pu suggested that Wu Weiye, the prefect of Huai'an, Gu Menglin, Chen Zilong, and Gong Dingyu, who was also the governor of Shanyin County, should participate, and he agreed.

After all, Caoyun involves Huai'an Prefecture and Shanyin County, and it is normal for both the prefect and the prefect to participate.

Just after the spring break, Gan Xuekuo didn't want to be so formal, so he put the location of the discussion in Donglin Bookstore.

When Gan Xuekuo entered the Donglin Book House, Li Cao participated in politics Zhang Pu, supervised and urged Ma Shiying, escorted Su Jiancheng, Wu Weiye, the governor of Huai'an Prefecture, Gu Menglin, Chen Zilong, Gong Dingyu, the magistrate of Shanyin County, and Wu Changshi and others in the patrol Langzhong. They are all waiting in the bookstore.

However, Gan Xuekuo felt that the atmosphere in the room was very bad. Except for Zhang Pu, Wu Changshi, and Gong Dingyu, who could see the excited expressions on their faces, the faces of the rest of the people were numb, and no one in the study room spoke, and the atmosphere was faintly tense.

Gan Xuekuo also sighed secretly, and he was also clear about the contradiction between Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye. At this time, in a room, it is impossible to have a good atmosphere, and it is very good if there is no fight between each other.

When Gan Xuekuo entered the bookstore, everyone stood up, and he waved his hand. Motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Just after the spring break, you don't have to be so serious, the official summoned you to discuss the matter, and chose to be in the Donglin Book House, just don't want you to be nervous, you and the official together, entrusted by the emperor and the court, to take care of the affairs of Caoyun, you should think in one place, work hard in one place, and work together."

Gan Xuekuo said this, originally wanting to ease the atmosphere, but looking at everyone's expressions, it was still the same as before, and he also knew that it was impossible to make everyone happy just by relying on a few words.

Today's discussion of the matter was originally proposed by Zhang Pu, but Gan Xuekuo will not show it, after all, he is the governor of Caoyun, and he needs to make a decision on major matters, even if it is Zhang Pu's proposal to discuss, he must show that it is his own decision, which is a means to show his majesty, and it is also a protection for his subordinates.

"The official took office in September last year, but for many reasons, Cao Yun has not been able to recover, the official is very anxious, the imperial court's palace report you have also seen, the emperor and the court are determined to exterminate the Liukou, this war together, must consume a lot of grain and grass, if Cao Yun can not be restored immediately, it will cause a significant impact, so just after the Spring Festival, the official will convene you to discuss the matter of Cao Yun."

Zhang Pu looked at Gan Xuekuo and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's the end of the first month, there is still a month of preparation time at most in February, and the transportation will resume in early March.

After Gan Xuekuo finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhang Pu.

Everyone saw this action, and no one would speak first.

In fact, Gan Xuekuo should not be surprised to discuss the matter of Caoyun, but what makes everyone feel incomprehensible is that the reason why Caoyun has not been able to recover is mainly the problem of Caoyun, and if you want to solve this problem, Gan Xuekuo should first let Ma Shiying, who is involved in politics, speak, or directly raise the issue of Caoliang, and Wu Weiye, the prefect of Tanghuai'an, put forward a suggestion, after all, at such a critical moment, it is the most important matter to collect Caoliang first.

Gan Xuekuo actually let Zhang Pu speak first, which is not very normal.

Why did Zhang Pu and others come to Huaibei, everyone is not stupid, they all know the reason.

Zhang Pu stood up, saluted Gan Xuekuoji, and spoke confidently.

"Lord Gan is bent on the affairs of Cao Yun, Xia Guan is deeply admired, this year's situation is indeed different, the imperial army gathered in Huguang, Henan and other places, to exterminate the Liukou, the household and the military department's edict, also arrived at the Cao Yun Governor's Palace, are required to this year's Cao grain must be transported to more than three million stones, in the past the annual transport of Cao grain is about two million stones, this year needs to transport three million stones, Xia Guan thinks, if you do not take some extraordinary means, it will be difficult to complete the task of Cao Yun."

Zhang Pu's opening remarks were very good, but no one cared, what everyone needs to know is what kind of extraordinary means Zhang Pu will say.

"Since September last year, the Cao Yun has not been restored, after the lower official arrived at the Governor's Palace, carefully checked, last year's annual transport of Cao grain was only 500,000 stones, less than a quarter of the previous year, the lower official felt strange, so he checked the grain storage accounts of the Governor's Palace, and finally found the reason."

When Zhang Pu said this, Gan Xuekuo frowned and shook his head slightly.

Zhang Pu didn't take into account Gan Xuekuo's expression and hints, and still spoke along the original line of thought.

"The explanation given by Lord Ma Shiying, the prefect of Huai'an, is because after a thousand years, the Golden Tartars invaded Beizhili, and the Governor's Mansion transported a large amount of grain in advance, and these were borrowed from local merchants, and they needed to be returned to merchants last year, so there was no grain in the warehouse, and Cao Yun could not continue."

"After Lord Gong took office, the lower officials specially calculated with him, of course, Lord Wu of the patrol Lang Zhongwu also participated, and after the lower officials checked, they finally found the problem, that is, there were major flaws in the transportation of Caoyun grain."

"Xiaguan has calculated the time, the Cao Yun is suspended in November every year, the Northern Grand Canal is frozen, and the Cao boats cannot travel, and before the ice is frozen, a large number of Cao boats are needed to transport more than two million stone of Cao grain, which can be accessed from the Governor's Palace, and it is not shown, Xia Guan is afraid that there will be a mistake in his own checking, and he specially asked someone to check the accounts of the household department of the capital that has been Shuntianfu, and there are not so many Cao boats entering the capital and the north."

"In this way, the lower officials have to ask Lord Ma, Lord Wu, Lord Gu and Lord Chen, Caoyun is directly responsible for the Governor's Office, Huai'an Mansion and Shanyin County assist, and the affairs of Huai'an Wharf are under the joint jurisdiction of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and Huai'an Mansion and Shanyin County, since there is not so much Cao Grain, why do you have to lie."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, millions of stone of grain, that is not a joke, it is millions of taels or even tens of millions of taels of silver.

Ma Shiying looked at Zhang Pu and smiled slightly, you kid is too stunned.

"Lord Zhang's so-called extraordinary means, the official has been taught, it turned out to be settling accounts and impeachment, and the official still thinks that you have a lot of ability to turn the tide."

Zhang Pu's face turned red all of a sudden.

"This official believes that Cao Yun is deliberately delayed by you, which is a crime of deception and a great rebellion."

Ma Shiying stood up and waved at Gan Xuekuo.

"Your Excellency summoned me and others today to discuss the matter of Cao Yun, did you just want to cure us for the crime of bullying the king and escort them to the capital?"

Gan Xuekuo's face was a little blue, he had already said that he had decided to gather everyone before, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Pu would move out of such a file, if you want to say that Zhang Pu and others have extraordinary ability, then that's it, the way to kill chickens and show monkeys is not bad, but unfortunately Zhang Pu and others' skills, he knows, to put it bluntly, it is not enough to succeed and more than to lose.

Seeing that Gan Xuekuo didn't speak for a while, Ma Shiying sneered and spoke.

"Master Zhang, you didn't concurrently serve as the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, otherwise the official would really have to give you a detailed report, but now there is no need for this, if you think that we have a big problem, or even a big rebellion, you can write down the recital, go directly to the capital to report us and others, and we will naturally defend ourselves when the time comes."

"Lord Zhang, to say something unpleasant, you are not qualified to listen to the official's explanation." (To be continued......)
