Seeing that Zhenwu was silent, Su Zhan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, his words were false and true, deliberately exaggerating the fact that the people owe, the people owe it is true, but the people who owe money and food are not the people, but the local gentry, most of the relief loans have always been through the hands of the local gentry, one is that the government can not draw enough manpower, and the other is that through the local gentry, the local government has the guarantee of collecting loans.

The reason why the local gentry are allowed to default is because the officials have reaped enough benefits from it, whether it is borrowing money to collect loans or to buy money, there are agreed and customary shares, and the gentry who handle them do not lose money, and those who release them are usury, for the common people, their ancestors have been like this for generations, and they have been accustomed to it, and even more, they have the idea that they will not worry about having more debts and more lice, and they will not be itchy if they have more debts, and this usury will not be repaid anyway, and they can borrow if they can.

After pondering for a long time, Zhen Wu spoke: "Isn't there no disaster and famine in Kali's office? Could it be that during his tenure, Shanxi Province never came out of Shanxi Province to lend money to help the people? ”

"Back to the emperor." Governor Su Keji immediately bowed down and said, "It is the duty of local officials to lend money to the people, how dare Kali ignore it?" The reason why the Kali was able to wipe out the deficit in Shanxi was that it increased the fire consumption of the whole province to two and a half cents, and ordered the gentry and the common people to pay donations in the name of repairing ancestral temples and temples, and extorted local wealthy merchants by unscrupulous means. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly when he listened, these evil deeds of Kali, he had heard a lot in the capital, when he took advantage of the Jiangnan scientific research case, he took off the top of Kali in one fell swoop, and he collected a lot of his deeds, and the fire consumption of one or two silver was added to two dollars and five cents, which was really a move of anger and resentment, and it was no wonder that he could wipe out the deficit in Shanxi, and he could also make a lot of money.

After a little hesitation, he asked, "What is the fire consumption in Shanxi today?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Su Keji hurriedly bowed down and said: "When the minions took over, it can be said that the people's resentment was boiling, which inevitably provoked the people's uprising. Apart from the regular tax, there are no other miscellaneous taxes. ”

Not a penny is low, but Zhenwu is already determined to abolish fire consumption. Unwilling to ask more questions on this, he glanced at Su Zhan before asking: "You are very clear about the disadvantages of local money and grain shortages, do you have a good way to eliminate and curb them?" ”

This is a huge article, and it is a matter of offending officials all over the world, how dare Su Zhan open his mouth indiscriminately, and he was unprepared in advance. However, he reacted quickly enough to know that this was a great opportunity, and Zhenwu Suxi innovated, which was known to the whole country, and if he could perform in clearing and curbing the deficit, he would definitely be favored by Zhenwu.

After groaning slightly, he bowed down and replied, "Return to the emperor." As far as the situation in Shanxi is concerned, it is almost impossible to cure the deficit once and for all. Preparing for war and preparing for famine, leveling grain prices, and providing relief and lending are all inseparable from the storage of grain, and in order to curb the deficit, it is necessary to strip away the various functions of storage, and there is no good way for the slaves to be hasty. ”

What are the functions of stripping warehousing? Zhenwu heard it but his heart moved, this is to the point, if the storage of grain is only used to prepare for war and famine, not to mention that it can eradicate the deficit in one fell swoop. At least the amount of the deficit can be greatly reduced, this idea is correct, but how to divest it is not an easy matter, and the lending can be taken over by the 'four constants', but the relief and peace will stabilize food prices. But it's quite tricky.

Zhenwu glanced at Su Keji and Su Zhan before asking in a deep voice: "I have sent prisoners to supervise relief matters in all prefectures and counties in several northern provinces, and I heard that there are prisoners in Shanxi whose whereabouts are unknown, but is there such a thing?" ”

As soon as he heard Zhenwu mention this matter, Su Keji hurriedly bowed down and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, after the heavy rain fell and the drought eased, the prisoners in various places were quite lax, and they went out to travel for a long time. …,

So far, no government officials have reported that there have been accidents with prison students, nor have there been reports of any prison students whose whereabouts are unknown. ”

It seems that the three prisoners are fine, Zhenwu glanced at the two of them, and said: "The prisoners who are assigned to various places to serve as overseers are all the best of the best, I have already had a strict order, if there is an accident among the prisoners, the local officials will be severely punished, and it is naturally best to have nothing to do." Passing on my will, the prisoners of the surrounding prefectures and counties of Taiyuan rushed to Fuya to meet him the day after tomorrow. ”

"Tsk. The minions obeyed. Su Keji hurriedly bowed down, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, estimating that Zhenwu would ask about the impeachment of Zhao Fengzhao, the prefect of Taiyuan.

However, Zhenwu didn't have the heart to ask about those bullshit things, and the local governors had always attacked each other or the upper officials participated in the impeachment of the lower officials, which could not be clearly distinguished in a few words, and he didn't want to waste his energy on this, and let Ma Qi and Wang Shui deal with them.

He was thinking about how to deal with the three of them, and that was what he should be thinking about at the moment. In order to solicit merit and fill the shortfall, these three people embezzled disaster relief money and grain, privately levitated labor during the famine, and wantonly provoked the dispute between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty. Another point, how big will they spread in this river control project? All these things are examined in detail.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "For your own selfish interests, you ignore the strict order that you must not embezzle and divert disaster relief, wantonly withhold and divert disaster relief money and food, and disregard the life and death of the disaster victims. After a slight pause, he continued: "With Ge going to the post of Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and ordering him to be fully responsible for the project to cure the floods in Taiyuan, Su Keji and Su Zhan will temporarily resign from their posts and stay in their posts, and fully assist Xu. ”

Listening to this will, both of them were relieved in their hearts, although the punishment of dismissal and retention was severe, but there was a chance to redeem the merits, but what does it mean to add a temporary one in front of this? The two didn't dare to think about it, so they hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The servants are waiting to thank the emperor Longen." ”

Zhenwu bowed slightly: "Kneel down, and ask the officials outside the door to go back to the government on errands." ”

The two of them retreated, Zhenwu also got up and moved slightly, glanced at the dazzling sunshine outside, he slowly paced up in the hall, Shanxi is not far from Beijing, and the annual tax is not much, and Shanxi people still have a pioneering spirit in their bones, which can be used as a pilot can be called the most ideal.

It is the gentry supervision of the ministers in the study who are arguing, he also wants to try it first, to see what the pros and cons are, and deliberately bring Fang Bao with him, that is, he intends to let Fang Bao take charge of the land of a mansion, try to implement, and see how the effect is, of course, the most suitable house for trial should be Taiyuan Mansion, after all, the gentry near the provincial capital are of high quality, and their horizons are also broad, and they are also influential.

I don't want to Taiyuan these officials but poked such a big hole, all the way into the city he also saw, the scale of the Fen River treatment project is quite large, I heard that the surrounding small rivers are also starting at the same time, the root cure of the Taiyuan flood, this guy is dare to think, bold and bold, he wants to learn from Tianjin's Haihe River to cut and straighten, in order to achieve a blockbuster effect, in order to be able to enter the study, the ministers in the study are all dying, there are many ministers who have this idea.

This is only forty this year, it is the time when he is in the prime of life, and he is also quite talented, and now the old eight is powerful, it is normal for him to have this idea, Zhenwu now needs to be a courtier who dares to think and dare to act, after all, innovation is needed to be young and promising, and the minister who has the courage to do things, but this guy is too bold, and such a big project also dares to cut it first and then play, without sharpening, I am afraid that it is rare to have a good end. …,

Outside the second gate, Prince Dun sat in the hall, drinking tea uneasily, but his eyes glanced at the second door aisle from time to time, he was really sweating for Xu, who was not only a cadre of the Eighth Party, but also had a deep personal relationship with him, otherwise he would not have released water last night.

When he saw Su Keji and Su Zhan coming out bareheaded, Yinqi's heart couldn't help but sink, and they were both dismissed? Zhenwu is furious? The two people who were waiting to see him did not look sad, so he was a little relieved, and things were not as bad as he imagined.

Seeing Yinqi sitting in the hall, Su Keji and Su Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, Yinqi waved his hand and said, "What is the emperor's will?" ”

"Go back to the prince." Su Keji hurriedly bowed down and said: "Remove the post of Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and order him to be fully responsible for the project to cure the floods in Taiyuan. ”

As soon as he heard that he was just dismissed from the post of the left capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Yin Qi couldn't help but feel relaxed, he was not only the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, but he also held the position of the head of the Hanlin Academy, and only dismissed him from the position of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, he was still from the title of the second grade, and was fully responsible for the river control project, he still had a chance to turn over, it seems that Zhenwu still takes good care of the starling and his feelings.

At that moment, he smiled and said: "Don't cry with a sad face, thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, there is still a chance to be reinstated after being dismissed and retained, doesn't the emperor give you the opportunity to redeem your merits?" Sensei said that this king didn't remind you, the emperor likes to settle the old accounts and new accounts together, clean hands and feet, and manage the people below, and you are now levelless. ”

Su Keji nodded again and again and said: "The king's golden and jade good words, the lower officials must remember them. ”

A guard walked over quickly at this time, bowed down and reported: "Lord Wang, Fan Yubin brought some seasonal fruits and wanted to present them to the emperor." ”

Yin Qi waved his hand to Su Keji and the others, and asked, "Have you checked them all?" ”

"Da Da has checked it in detail, no problem." The guard hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Hmm." Yin Qi nodded and said: "The emperor has appointed His Majesty to stay here, don't go too far, let him in, you all behave, don't embarrass the emperor." ”

"The minions don't dare." The guard hurriedly bowed and retreated. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
