Chapter 319: Lies
Xu Jizong this time can be said to be burdened with a heavy responsibility.
It stands to reason that if it was just an ordinary decree, in fact, he would not have to go out in person, but because of the affairs of the displaced people in the south, the court and China have been making a lot of trouble recently, and Zhao Rui could not trust others, so he had to send Xu Jizong to come.
In just a few months, Sun and Huang, the two former ministers, returned to the dynasty one after another, one of them was originally in Shaoxing, and the other was in Quanzhou.
The prime minister's release is actually pampered by default, and there is no need to do anything on weekdays, even if the state is busy, it has nothing to do with them.
However, this time, the trouble was in the original Fuzhou and Jizhou locust drought plagues were on a par with the north of the river, and last year almost a few days to report the disaster to Beijing, but after the winter, it stands to reason that the homeless people are full of people, panic, starvation, and cold suffering, but it seems that suddenly there is no sound.
Fuzhou, Jizhou and other places have folded Chen, and they all say that the displaced people have gone to the south, but in Jianzhou, Zhangzhou, Shaoxing and other places, there are still five or six thousand people in the first two places, and Shaoxing only named three thousand displaced people.
Where have all the people gone?
Even if it is eaten by Yi Zi, it is impossible for these tens of thousands of people to eat each other overnight?
As soon as the excerpts in Jianzhou, Zhangzhou, Shaoxing and other places were put on the Chen, Yushitai immediately learned about it, like cold water into oil, and it exploded at that time.
Tens of thousands of people will never disappear out of thin air, and there are only two possibilities for such a situation.
First, the disaster situation in Fuzhou and Jizhou is exaggerated, but in fact, the locust drought here is not as serious as the compromise described, and it is all a lie made up by the state officials in order to escape responsibility, defrauding the disaster relief grain and rice, and exempting them from paying taxes.
Second, Jianzhou, Zhangzhou, Shaoxing, Quanzhou and other places concealed the number of displaced people and deceived the Holy Hearing.
As for why you deceive the Holy Hearing?
The well-intentioned people of Yushitai checked the officials in several places, and found that those who succeeded Sun and Huang as local governors all had one thing in common - they were all Fan Yaochen's party.
Since last year, Fan Yaochen and Yang Kui have fought to the death, and Zhao Rui personally invited Sun and Huang back to Beijing, and Fan Dang will no longer return to the past scenery overnight.
However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Fan Yaochen took advantage of the fact that the two ministers had not yet entered the court, and arranged his own people into several rich places.
Jianzhou, Zhangzhou, Shaoxing are all the land of fish and rice, Quanzhou is a port, every year I don't know how many merchant ships to trade at sea have to pass through here, no matter the commercial tax, the tax is the upper state, naturally Fan Yaochen's first choice to install cronies.
In addition, the reason why Fan Yaochen avoided the phase was largely because of the disaster in the north and south last year.
Yang Kui's party and the officials of Yushitai have impeached him as a "traitor", because there are "traitors" around the Son of Heaven, which will lead to continuous natural disasters.
The theory of celestial and human induction has always been an important reason for the DPRK and China to attack each other, and even if you don't believe it, you have to use it when attacking political opponents.
Whether it is floods and droughts, locusts, earth movements, or water, it is either because the Son of Heaven "does not cultivate morality and politics" and "does not distinguish between internal curtains", or because the Son of Heaven is surrounded by "traitors and villains".
Fan Yaochen is naturally the "traitorous villain".
And now the reason why Jianzhou, Zhangzhou and other places will not be silent at all, according to Yang Kui and his party, is because the Fan party wants to cover up the disaster for Fan Yaochen.
Although Fan Yaochen is now serving as a governor, his life is not easy, in fact, he has been impeached and said that he is sick.
After the victims of the disaster in the north of the river ate up the grain stored in the Daimyo's mansion, they all gathered in the capital, if it was far away, maybe the officials could not see it, but right under their noses, who would be this fool and blind?
For Yang Kui and his party, this is a rare opportunity to beat Fan Yaochen to death, and for Yushitai, this is a rare opportunity to gain a "straight name".
The 100,000 displaced people in Hebei are already evidence that Fan Yaochen cannot avoid crimes, and once the tens of thousands of disaster victims in the south eat soil and graze, and the situation of cannibalism is introduced to Beijing, it will be difficult for him to turn over, so he can only invite himself to go out, at least for a few years, and he will not be able to make a splash.
Yang Kui's faction and the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory began to play impeachment one by one, and although Fan Yaochen did not go out in person, and he was still calling illness on his face, he relied on his own way to quickly know the content of the excerpts of the impeachment of everyone, and followed one by one to defend himself.
Zhao Rui was dizzy.
Whether it is Fuzhou Jizhou or Quanzhou Jianzhou, it is too far away from the capital, even if it is a hurry, there is no way to play a round trip without half a month's effort.
And the eyes and ears of the Imperial City Division in these states, the news sent back is also varied, and it is difficult to distinguish.
If you can count the exact number of displaced people, then the displaced people are not called displaced people!
Whether it is the spies of the Imperial City Division or the horses in the states, they can only rely on half-guessing and estimating an approximate figure.
is also the establishment of the state, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of homeless people, but the Imperial City Division insists that there are only more than 3,000 homeless people, and the excerpt in the state is 5,000 homeless people.
are all in the same place, and the results can be so far off, Zhao Rui is thousands of miles away, how can he know who is right and who is wrong?
In desperation, he sent several teams of people to Jianzhou, Shaoxing and other places, and Xu Jizong, who was ordered to go south to Ganzhou to inquire about the white wax, wanted to find out the truth from Ganzhou.
If Ganzhou did not see tens of thousands of displaced people passing by, it would mean that it was a disaster in Fuzhou, Jizhou and other places, but if there were really such a cadre, Zhao Rui would go to Jianzhou, Quanzhou and other places to find dignitaries.
Who, exactly, is lying?
Xu Jizong stood in the camp outside Ganzhou City, only feeling a little blindfolded.
It was already afternoon when I returned from the mountain where ash worms were kept, and when I arrived at the camp, it was already past the unitary hour, and I was encountering the scene of thousands of strong men digging ditches from the city and lining up to return to the barracks.
Clusters of dense crowds walked into the barracks one by one, and a small wooden sign was displayed at the door.
There were several large tables at the door, and a dozen or so people circled the roster on the table against their wooden cards.
On a cold day, Xu Jizong was still wearing a cotton robe, there were many shirtless people in this group, only a thin shirt on the upper body, and there were not a few people wearing a pair of calf nose pants underneath, some people in the queue were laughing and talking, some people were frowning, some people were shouting loudly, Xu Jizong was not prepared at all, looking at this scene, his mind was simply dizzy.
Gu Yanzhang stood aside and explained: "The last time I went back to Ganzhou, I sent an excerpt back to Beijing, and I think it should be here in the next few days, according to the number of yesterday's points, Ganzhou should have placed 41,826 displaced people. ”
