Chapter 672: Prepare for food
Not to mention that Hu Quan saw such a thing, he only made a slight change in the inconsequential place, and made a distribution according to what was written in the document, and in another place, Gu Yanzhang received the assigned errand, and sure enough, he took a cadre of officials in the Criminal Division to patrol around the place under his jurisdiction.
Ji Qingling brought a few personal servants, and there were only seven or eight people in the group, and they walked in the county and town with a light car.
Gu Yanzhang was in charge of five large counties, and he set out from Beijing, but he did not patrol all the way from near to far, but went straight to a county called Yongqiu.
The inspection of the Criminal Division informed the county government a few days in advance as usual, and was shocked that there were chickens and dogs jumping in Yongqiu County.
In the back office, several officials gathered in one place, and even the doors and windows were not hidden.
"If you are good, you should go to Fugou and Xianping counties first, and no matter how bad it is, you will also go to Nawei's Town, why did you come to us first! Don't check the near first, check the far one first, is this full and have nothing to do, or is it intentional? It really shouldn't be! β
"You don't care if you should or not, right now, in black and white, with a big red seal, this official document is placed here, whether it should be or not, in a few days, the deputy envoy of the Gyeonggi Criminal Prison Department will come over......"
"In the past few days, I have invited all the trustworthy bookkeepers to come over, and I have been working hard for days and nights without sleeping, and I have closed all the accounts. Someone frowned.
"Why don't you put it off for a while? Pick up the places that have nothing to do and give them to check, and then hold on to those days, and leave a little more time to close the account and library! Someone else also came up with an idea, but while saying, he stumbled and said, "In previous years, I only came here in mid-August at the earliest, but this year is two months in advance, which is really unprepared......
Seeing that everyone looked frightened, a younger official asked inexplicably, "Why are you in such a hurry?" I can hear that the newly appointed deputy envoy of the prison has only been more than three years, and he is an official in his early twenties, although there are some problems with the accounts in our county, compared with the rest of the counties and towns in the left and near, it is already extremely clean. β
Before he could ask what he said, someone on the side reprimanded: "If you don't understand, don't interject indiscriminately, others are talking about business, how can you have room for a little girl to interject!" β
Someone persuaded him: "Gong Weng, where is the child born to understand everything, you have to teach slowly, your two sons are already very eye-catching, after all, they are younger, and they haven't done much, and don't be too harsh." β
Someone helped explain to the young man: "Weng Erlang, you don't know, there are only two reasons why you can be appointed as a deputy envoy of the prison at such a young age, one is that the back is powerful, and the other is that there are indeed some means, no matter which case, the first place to inspect is often used as the three fires burned by the new official when he takes office, and it is necessary to inspect it more carefully. Such people are often blind, unreasonable, and do not know how to follow the rules, for fear that if he breaks in, he will overturn the chessboard, and it will be difficult for everyone to do ......"
This explained the secret inside story of the officialdom to the young man in detail.
When he finished speaking, he found that no one in the hall had spoken for half a day, and after a long time, someone had the courage to ask the person sitting behind the table, "Weng Gong, what is the situation now...... What should I do in the storeroom? β
"Why don't you put it off?"
Someone replied to the proposal of the right man.
Everyone else echoed: "Even if it drags on for three days, it's okay, today hurry up and order someone to go to the capital, ask someone to redeem the money and buy it back, and if you can catch it, you can buy some grain back, as long as the accounts and warehouses are flattened, the people on the side are just small heads, it's great to do a little rectification, and it doesn't matter if you stay up for two more years and get promoted, in fact, it doesn't matter ......."
Everyone said that I am and, but after a long time, I did not see the person sitting behind the table reply, and finally woke up, and everyone looked over.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Weng Yue held up the official document with a big red seal in front of him, and raised it to the first few people who were sitting or standing, and said, "Don't think about it, you can't drag it out for a day......"
A servant near him took the official document, pointed to the first line of words, and read it out.
Listening to what the officials read out, the audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other.
Weng Yue sneered: "Although this deputy envoy is young, he is thoughtful in everything, people have not yet arrived at our place, what they want to check, everything has been listed, account books, files, documents, and the style has been given to us to fill in advance - you look at the style at the back, do it according to this, the people sitting in the yamen don't have to do it for the past few days, just prepare documents for him......"
The officials in the room circulated the style attached to the back of the house, but no one was speechless, and after a long time, someone asked, "Gong Weng...... Now, what should we do? Why don't you find all the trustworthy bookkeepers first, and see how to settle the accounts and deal with this time......"
Weng Yue shook his head and said: "If there is a difference of 10,000 or 20,000 stones, or dozens of silver, you can barely cope with it, but this time 80,000 stones, more than 200 silver, the difference is too big, look at the deputy envoy surnamed Gu This notice sent in advance is not easy to deal with, I am afraid that he has the heart to investigate, and really find out the matter...... For tens of thousands of stones and two hundred silver, attracting the attention of the DPRK and the central government, this time being punished is secondary, and if the old things in the past are also involved, the gains really outweigh the losses. β
When he said this, his eyes sank, and he raised his head to one of them and said, "Yang San." β
The officer who was ordered hurriedly stood up.
Weng Yuefu said again: "I won't count how much everyone took in the past, this time one person proposed three thousand, and asked Yang San to find a way to collect all the grain and grain that could be received, and fill it in the warehouse." β
There was a sudden agitation in the hall.
Weng Yue said coldly: "You don't have to be unconvinced, just borrow it temporarily, and when the things in the silver buildings and grain farms in the capital arrive in August, they will be returned, and I will give them back to you according to the person...... If you are greedy for this small bargain, if something really happens, it will not be the profits of these three or two months that you will lose! β
As soon as Weng Yue's words came out, although many people in the audience were still a little reluctant, they didn't dare to say no.
However, Yang San stood up, his face was very frightened, and asked: "Gong Weng, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, the grain is not easy to harvest, and the price is high...... I'm afraid that those tens of thousands of dollars will not be able to fill the granary of the treasury......"
Weng Yue frowned and said: "If you can't buy this year's summer grain, you can buy last year's old grain, it's really not good, go buy the grain of the previous year, and then mix the incompatible ones in the middle layers, as long as they are not discovered, even if the ash and deflated grains are not tight, mix more empty grains into it, as long as you can't find the problem on the measuring bamboo, even if you can deal with it." β
It is not a simple matter to inspect the grain straw, the grain depot is full of grain, to convert the new age, the grain is full, if you want to pass the scale one by one, the fine difference, even ten days and eight days may not be able to count clearly, at this time the usual practice is to insert a bamboo pole into the grain, to measure the corresponding situation.
Weng Yue and others have been officials in Yongqiu County for decades, and they don't know how many times they have to deal with the inspection, if it weren't for this time too early, they wouldn't be so anxious anyway, but when things really happen, they are not afraid, there is always a way to deal with the past, but it just takes some thought.
While assigning the subordinates to prepare different things to deal with the inspection of the Criminal Division, Weng Yue raised his head and looked at the second hall on the east side of the county office.
was so far away that he couldn't hear any movement, but Weng Yue couldn't help but have a thought of watching a joke in his heart.
ββTens of thousands of stone grains in my own house, if you want to get them together in just a few days, the three or four hundred thousand stone grains that disappeared from the Chang Ping position of Chen County Order Management don't know how to pass this hurdle!
He's just waiting to see the show!
