A piece of music was held in his hand, but Liu Jun looked at it over and over again for a long time.

This is the recital of Ni Yuanlu, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Liu Jun is outside the pass, a small number of ministers are carrying, and most of the courtiers are still staying in the Beijing office. Ni Yuanlu is still staying in Beijing, and the imperial history of Zuodu is one of the Great Nine Qings, and now in the new dynasty, the responsibilities of various departments are becoming more and more clear.

The Civil Affairs Department, the Finance Department, and the Taxation Department are the financial and taxation leaders of the imperial court. The Military Aircraft Department, the Privy Council, and the Military Department are the military affairs departments of the imperial court. Jinyiwei and Dongchang are intelligence departments.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department are the three legal divisions and judicial departments of the imperial court.

There are three legal divisions in the central part of the imperial court, there are procurators at the provincial level, there are patrol imperial history, procuratorial offices, courts and police departments below, there are procuratorial bureaus, provincial courts, police stations at the provincial level, and sub-bureaus at the county level. The powers and responsibilities of the three legal divisions are greater and clearer than in the past.

The piece sent by Ni Yuanlu is an impeachment piece. As the supervision and inspection organ of the imperial court, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to impeach and supervise. Ni Yuanlu was originally born in Lao Donglin, and was a member of the Jiangbei Party, and now in the new dynasty, he occupies the important position of Zuodu Yushi, and he has a bit of iron-faced and selfless demeanor.

He played the impeachment of the emperor's Long Yuanzuo, the emperor's elder brother Zhao Guoliang from Macheng.

As soon as he heard this name, he knew that Zhao Guoliang was not an ordinary person. Nowadays, among the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, there are many names headed by Guo, Guodong Guozhu, Guohua Guoqiang, etc., almost all of them are the old brothers of the emperor back then.

Zhao Guoliang is one of them, one of the original 100 elders of the nine-headed bird, who was named Gouyu at the beginning, and was later given the name Guoliang by the emperor.

Today's garrison commander Zhang Guodong, plugged into the commander of the military region Zhang Guozhu, was still called Dong Gouzi and Ergou back then. Back then, Zhao Guoyu was the first nine-headed bird to join the same batch as Zhang Guodong, and Zhang Guozhu was later than them.

With its qualifications. Zhao Guoyu is now the chief military officer and a former general with the rank of general.

In just a few years, he has gone from a poor mountain man in the Macheng Mountains to an earl in the new dynasty, with the rank of former general and chief military officer. His life experience has to be said to be a model of following the right person.

But now this upstart was played by Ni Yuanlu and impeached him for corruption.

The evidence is conclusive, and there is no doubt about it.

Zhao Guoliang's method of corruption is also very simple, as the chief military officer of a town, it is not difficult for him to be corrupt. He embezzled the public funds of the imperial court, and then opened an underground bank outside and used the public funds to lend.

Today, the base rate of silver is declining and is no longer as high as it used to be. But there are many money banks outside the bank. The interest rate on their loans is much higher, so they also raise the interest rate on their savings to absorb the savings and then lend.

Zhao Guoyu embezzled the public funds that should have been deposited in the bank to the underground bank he opened, and then used it to lend money and collect high interest. However, he still entered the public account according to the bank's deposit interest, and earned both a deposit interest and a loan interest after changing hands.

This kind of thing is actually very common nowadays.

Although it is illegal, it is always impossible to stop some people's desire for profit.

Liu Jun is very clear. Nowadays, industry and commerce are prosperous, and the profits of doing business are higher. But the banks of the imperial court were regulated by favors. Interest rates have been lowered, and lending is more stringent, generally with guarantees, and credit loans are very strict.

Many businessmen find it difficult to obtain formal bank loans, so they turn to those banks for loans, which have higher interest rates. But the conditions are wider. And some underground money banks have almost no restrictions, and they are almost high-level loans.

Although the imperial court has also been cracking down on high loans and underground black money banks, there are still many people who take risks under the high interest rates.

Zhao Guoliang embezzled public funds, and the amount was still huge.

The most critical thing is. He embezzled public funds, secretly ran his own underground bank, and lent high loans, but the high loans also had a great risk of bad debts, and this time he put all the money to a businessman, who took the money and organized a large number of goods to go to sea to the South Seas, but the ship capsized in a storm.

The boat capsized, the people died, and the goods were gone, so the huge amount of money that Zhao Guoliang lent out was naturally lost and never returned. Zhao Guoliang couldn't collect the accounts, and he couldn't make up for the empty accounts that had been misappropriated, so he was naturally exposed.

As soon as Ni Yuanlu found out about this, he immediately sent people to investigate with all his might, and soon the matter came to light.

A whole million silver dollars.

Liu Jun was very angry, he couldn't understand why Zhao Guoliang did this, he was so stupid to destroy his future.

Zhao Guoliang was his earliest subordinate, and he followed him from birth to death, and he was also loyal. Liu Jun treated him well, and in just a few years, he was already a former general, chief military officer, and was also made an earl.

Liu Jun did not believe that Zhao Guoliang's corruption was a lack of money.

Zhao Guoliang's current official title is at least more than 10,000 silver dollars a month, and at least 200,000 silver dollars a year. 200,000 silver dollars, such a large sum of money is not enough for him to spend?

He used to be just a poor mountain man, and if he was given five taels of silver to settle in, he was willing to give up his life. The annual income of 200,000 is completely sufficient.

His embezzlement of public funds and secretly running an underground bank to lend money to high debts is no longer because he does not have enough money to spend, but because he is greedy.

Now that the case has been poked out, the money is full of evidence.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were staring at the emperor, waiting for what he would do.

Liu Jun wants to protect Zhao Guoliang, but he can't keep it, this case has already been issued, and the impact is so bad, if Liu Jun protects him, it will be a very bad example.

can not protect him, no matter how large the amount of money involved in this case, Zhao Guoliang must not be guaranteed.

After all, Liu Jun couldn't bear to follow his old brother for many years.

"Bastard!" Liu Jun scolded hatefully, hating iron does not become steel.

Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guozhu's cousins have been kneeling in front of Liu Jun, they and Zhao Guoliang fought on the battlefield, and the distance between their two villages is only dozens of miles, not only the same county but also the same township.

Now that they saw that Zhao Guoliang had such a big thing, they could only kneel and beg the emperor to raise his noble hand.

Zhang Guodong's brothers are also secretly scolding Zhao Guoliang for being obsessed, the emperor treats the old brothers very favorably, not to mention that the old brothers of the year now almost all occupy important positions, and they are all knighted, and the emperor's rewards every year are also continuous, which net worth is not at least hundreds of thousands of properties.

Who is still short of money?

But Zhao Gouyu, a bastard, actually embezzled public funds to lend high loans, isn't this looking for death?

"Your Majesty, the dog has made a mistake for a while. His Majesty has nothing to say about his dismissal, deprivation of his position, cutting his lordship, etc., the minister only asks His Majesty to see that he follows His Majesty, there is no merit and hard work, please Your Majesty remember the old feelings and spare his life. ”

Liu Juntie's face was blue, "This bastard." Lao Tzu just considered promoting him to a level and transferring him to be the commander, and the **** one gave Lao Tzu such a play, isn't this fucking a slap in the face? He has followed Lao Tzu all these years, doesn't he know that what Lao Tzu hates most is this kind of corrupt officials? For just one million, he sold his conscience? If he really wants money and talks to Lao Tzu, won't Lao Tzu give it to him? ”

"Your Majesty, the dog is left to die. But please spare your majesty his death. Zhang Guozhu also pleaded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the dog's remaining child is only one year old."

Of course, Liu Jun also wanted to spare him once, after all, everyone has times when they go the wrong way, but on the other hand, now this matter has been made public, and it has even been reported.

The whole world knew that the emperor's old subordinates embezzled a million public funds. The million has been lost and cannot be recovered.

What a terrible influence, if the Emperor could spare him death today. Wouldn't that be a big opening, how to take national law seriously in the future.

After learning from the pain, Liu Jun finally hardened his heart.

This opening cannot be opened.

He sighed, "Get up, everyone is responsible for their actions." Zhao Guoliang doesn't cherish himself, so he can't blame others. ”

After speaking. Liu Jun began to personally write an edict to Ni Yuanlu, investigate and handle Zhao Guoliang's case in accordance with the law, and the three legal divisions will try it, and the noon gate will be tried openly, if it is verified. then the noon gate was beheaded. ”

However, remembering that Zhao Guoliang was also a father, Liu Jun specially ordered that the crime was not his family, and his property was left to his family, and his one-year-old son was allowed to be knighted.

When Zhang Guodong and his brothers saw the emperor's edict, their faces turned pale, but they knew the emperor's character, and once they made a decision, it would never be possible to change it.

In the end, the brothers could only sigh long.

Zhao Guoliang's case also sounded a wake-up call for Liu Jun. Those old brothers, now some people are beginning to change their minds.

It's only been a few years, and as a result, someone has lost themselves in a high position.

Liu Jun took over the world, but the world is not stable.

Not to mention that there are Jurchens in the northeast who have not been destroyed, and there are Tusi in the southwest, and now there is the Oirat alliance in the northwest against the Han, and even the small Japanese countries dare to blow up with the big Han, and they actually dare to cut off the export of silver and brass.

The South China Sea is also turbulent, with the old and the new forces of all parties alternating between the old and the new.

The huge Han Empire is also in crisis.

If the nouveau riche of the imperial court thought that the world would be peaceful and they could enjoy prosperity and prosperity, they were wrong.

Zhao Guoliang will be killed, and only by borrowing Zhao Guoliang's head can he really wake them up.

It was almost the end of the year, and Yuan Jixian, the first assistant, and other hundred officials also asked Liu Jun to move back to the court. However, Liu Jun was not in a hurry to leave, and the imperial court destroyed the four departments of Horqin, and added Xing'an and Liaobei provinces in its place.

In the past two years, the imperial court has expanded its borders one after another, and a large number of new provinces have been established. But these newly opened frontiers are only beautiful on the map for the time being, and the empire can only step up the immigration to these places and garrison troops to expand the frontier.

Liu Jun does not want to engage in forced immigration, but hopes to use better policy conditions to attract people to come spontaneously. To this end, he gave many favorable conditions, such as the imperial court to organize immigrants, to make preliminary preparations for the migration of immigrants, the route of the immigrants, the guarantee of grain, grass, carts and horses on the road, and even the reception and resettlement after arriving at the place, etc., as well as the later reclamation and settlement, which have to be handled by the imperial court, and it cannot be said that the immigration is over.

It is not easy to do this under the conditions of this era, and this is a great test of the organizational ability of the government.

Liu Jun finally thought about it, but still felt that he should engage in counterpart immigration.

Shandong Province is the counterpart of Liaobei Province, Henan Province is the counterpart of Shandong Liaodong Province, Hebei Province is the counterpart of Monan, Jiangbei Province is the counterpart of Yanbei, Shanxi is the counterpart of Suiyuan, Shaanxi is the counterpart of Ningxia, Guangdong is the counterpart of Guizhou, Jiangxi is the counterpart of Sichuan, Hubei is the counterpart of Yunnan and so on.

In this relatively centralized resettlement, the tasks of resettlement are assigned, and the two provinces are connected, with one responsible for relocation escort and the other responsible for receiving and resettlement.

Moreover, this kind of immigration is that the immigrants are all from the same region, have the same language, and it is easier to put down roots in a new environment. Otherwise, people from all over the world will be placed together, and they will not understand the language, have different living habits, and are very prone to regional conflicts.

Historically, such conflicts have often erupted between Taiwanese immigrants, with Fujianese fighting with Cantonese and Zhangzhou fighting with Fuzhou.

At the same time of immigration, the imperial court must also garrison troops, build roads, and build military stations, post posts, and castles along the way.

These will cost a lot of money, food, money, manpower and material resources, but as long as they are done well, it will be a great achievement for the future. This allows the empire to truly transform the territory it has opened up into the actual territory controlled by the empire, and provide a broader living space for the empire.

In the long run, the benefits are endless, with more arable land and more mineral deposits. More arable land feeds more people, more soldiers and manpower, and taxes.

Even from the current point of view, the immigration program can also drive economic development.

Now Dahan has a population of more than 200 million, and the population is saturated, and the existing land cannot absorb such a large number of people. Many people have no land to grow and few other employment opportunities, leading to worsening poverty.

And now the resettlement plan, a large number of people emigrate, they will need a lot of industrial and commercial goods to build a new home, to build a new home, to buy farm tools and furniture, and so on.

This is to expand domestic demand, and many poor people in the interior have migrated to the frontier to get land. With the land, they were able to live on their own and even increase taxes for the imperial court. And the people in the mainland who have not left can also reduce some pressure.

Immigration requires a lot of money, a lot of money, not one million two million, not ten million twenty million, not even one hundred and twenty million can be solved. If you don't spend this money, then the frontier that has been laid now will not be able to hold it sooner or later. If you don't spend money to remove many people from the Central Plains to go to the frontier, the population of the Central Plains has long been saturated, and it can't support so many people******.

But Liu Jun was willing to spend this money.

For the state, the money has to be spent. But it can't be used for enjoyment, the history of Spain, the Netherlands and other countries, the rapid rise, but the rapid decline, why, because they did not use the money well.

The Spaniards developed the New World of America, and the gold and silver mines they found brought them countless gold and silver every year, but after they brought back these gold and silver from the New World, they did not develop their own industrial and commercial manufacturing, but simply bought goods from all over Europe and even the world.

Eventually, in addition to increasing its own inflation, it continued to provide wealth to various countries, and finally Spain, which was indulged in pleasure, weakened as soon as its silver production in the Americas decreased.

On the contrary, Britain and France absorbed a lot of wealth in the export trade with Spain, and at the same time accumulated strength and improved technology, and finally surpassed Spain in one fell swoop.

Liu Jun feels that Spain is a lesson from the past.

However, looking at his immigration schedule and the huge expenditure budget on it, Liu Jun couldn't help but be a little speechless, estimating that if he made this will, there would be many officials who would scold him for squandering wantonly, and he would lose money and money.
