Chapter 687: Pause

Often close the position of the man, the mule is in order.

The mules grind on the left, and the men carry the grain in an orderly manner on the right.

Yongqiu County's Changping occupies a huge area, and thousands of people have been requisitioned and issued just to build it, and it took more than three months to really take shape. Chen Ducai has been pampered for more than ten years, and he is not as good as when he was young, he gritted his teeth and endured the wet mule urine stains on his robe and walked all the way, as if he could not go to the end.

The more he walked, the more panicked he became.

Along the way, almost all the barns were hired porters and coolies, most of them were naked, wearing a pair of calf nose pants, or climbing on the top of the grain mountain, or the two of them held a big bamboo slip together, and with all their strength, the big bamboo pole was inserted from the top of the grain mountain to the bottom of the grain pile, and the backs and arms of everyone were wet with sweat, and Chen Ducai was frightened to see it.

When, so many people came?

According to what Fang Cai said to him in the past, Chen Ducai always thought that there were only more than ten people at most, but looking at the battle in front of him, there must be at least dozens or even hundreds!

He turned his head and saw Gu Yanzhang following behind unhurriedly, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Dare to ask the deputy envoy, what is it in the hands of the people?"

Gu Yanzhang glanced at it, and saw that Chen Ducai looked at the bamboo pole in the hands of those people, and explained very patiently: "This thing has no name yet, and I call it a grain picker, which is made of bamboo tubes, riveted into iron sheets at the lower end of bamboo slips, and then drilled into a few iron wires from the bamboo slips, and branded with the iron sheets, and when the bamboo pole is inserted into the grain and the wire is pulled, the iron piece can be rotated and the lower end of the bamboo tube can be sealed-in this way, the bamboo pole is inserted into the grain pile from top to bottom, and it can be taken in layers, and it is not easy to take only shallow layers. Don't take the deep fallacies. ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to boast: "I heard that this Chang Ping was built by Chen Zhi County Governor that day, and it was really built much better than the rest of the Chang Ping Positions, especially the roof—if the roof was not high enough, the bamboo poles for collecting grain might not be able to be completely erected, and they might not be able to exert their strength, but they would have to spend a lot more effort."

When Chen Du heard this, he was about to vomit out a mouthful of old blood.

Yongqiu County's Changping was indeed built by him.

In order to ask for more money from the court, he changed and changed the drawings of the day, occupied a large place, and built a high roof, and took advantage of "the regular closing is a hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old plan", "be careful of fire prevention, anti-theft, ventilation" and so on, and sure enough, he asked for a lot of materials and silver money from the capital, and it was the original 4,000 people, and he was forced to ask for 7,000.

You must know that at this time, there is a saying called buying labor money, in order not to serve the conscription, many people would rather secretly use the money to buy off the lower officials and officials, telling them to open one eye and close one eye, so that they can hire others to replace them.

Chen Ducai has been an official in Yongqiu County for more than two years, he has a good wrist, and he has also governed the old officials under him well, and many places have placed his cronies in it.

At that time, as long as the levy is apportioned, the households should be screened well, and the families with small and small assets and insufficient people will be selected to send them, and then ask people to hint at it, and naturally eight out of ten will be willing to pay. It is possible to buy more money with one more people, and if there are more than three thousand people, there will be tens of thousands more, and when the next person gets the money, but with a turn, he will naturally get into his purse.

As for the materials and money that are built to close the position, it is indispensable to buy and sell, and so on, the more materials are transferred, and the more the capital transports is the best quality, he can move it out, resell it, and use the defective products to fill it, and then the price difference will fall into his own hands.

The higher the roof, the larger the storehouse, and the more people are invited, the more benefits he can fall. On the same day, Chen Ducai got hundreds of thousands of family assets, except for the part used to buy through the joints, the rest is also very considerable, it has always been a very proud move, I don't want to get to today, I actually pit myself!

For the first time, he regretted it.

You shouldn't have built this open position so high that day!

If the roof is low enough, how can such a long bamboo pole be erected and inserted into the grain pile!

He laughed dryly a few times, and heard that it was a method that Gu Yanzhang and his subordinates came up with, and asked the craftsman to make it, and he had already scolded those henchmen who were watching Chang Ping's position in his heart.

- How can you not find such a big movement as long as you pay attention?!

Does it take time to strike a wire? Don't take time to drill a bamboo tube? Don't take time to hit the iron piece? Don't have time to find craftsmen?

actually concealed it until today to let him know, that is, he has Zhuge Liang's brain, and it is impossible to find some countermeasures in this moment!

Even so, Chen Ducai still had to look attentive and said: "The deputy envoy wants to use craftsmen, why don't you say to the county, whether the yamen wants to call craftsmen, copper and iron, it is more convenient to find it than the criminal division."

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, I saw that it was the time of the autumn harvest, and I told them last time that if there is nothing to do, it is good to stir up less turmoil in the county central government, everyone is busy, and if you can finish it yourself, why bother to ask the yamen to come out?" The Criminal Division can also issue an order, and it can also adjust copper and iron, so there is no need to alarm the county government.

returned what Chen Ducai said to him that day. Chen Du swallowed a mouthful of blood, and almost vomited again.

On that day, it was indeed the reason that he and Gu Yanzhang were looking for, saying that the autumn harvest was coming, and there was a shortage of manpower in the yamen, so it was not good to guard here every day, and a lot of officials were taken away, and many officials in the Cao Division were transferred, but he never expected that when he turned his head, he thought that he was acting very skillfully, but he actually lifted a stone and smashed his own feet.

Gu Yanzhang didn't have the time to pay attention to what was going on in the heart of the person in front of him, he came and went to talk to Chen Ducai about such a call, he was already very impatient, and then pulled the topic back and asked: "I don't know Chen Zhixian, what is going on with the grain stored in this regular closing position?" Ordinary grains, most of them can grind out six buckets in one stone, but the grain in Yongqiu County, not to mention six buckets, many can't even grind out five buckets, not to mention many mildew, but also a lot of old grain for more than two years, and countless sand and gravel officials have checked the old files that entered the warehouse that day, all of which have been inspected by the county three times, and the transfer department has inspected it at the same time.

How can Chen Ducai reply?

The archives in the archives and the account books in the Chang Ping are all stamped with the big seal of Yongqiu Zhixian County, and he Chen Ducai endorsed it.

In front of him stood the new deputy envoy of the Criminal Division, the other party was young, standing upright, a pair of eyes staring at him tightly, his eyes were blazing, as if he had shot two holes in his body. Chen Ducai was stared at by him, and was chased by one question after another, and he had to be distracted to answer, and he didn't have the energy to think about how to reply, so that he could suffer the least loss.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a little in his heart.

At this time, he must not reveal anything except that he doesn't know anything.

Chen Ducai raised his head, put on a panicked face, looked at Gu Yanzhang, and shouted: "Deputy envoy, the subordinate officials should follow the rules of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and there has never been the slightest mistake in all the rules and regulations, as for why it has become so in the regular closing of positions, I don't know!" Please also ask the deputy envoy to be clear!

"So you're going to go to Zhongmu County soon? Have you ever done the thing that often closes positions?"

Ji Qingling sat in front of the desk and flipped through the latest newspaper, but through the window, she could hear Gu Yanzhang and Xiao Duan talking outside her ears, she didn't pay much attention to it, but when she reacted, she was really taken aback, and when the other party entered the house, she hurriedly greeted him, and hurriedly chased Gu Yanzhang to ask questions.

Gu Yanzhang's face was a little dignified, because Ji Qingling asked, he didn't hide it, so he said: "Time is limited, there are still several counties and towns to investigate, if you just stare at this place, you won't be able to finish the next thing."

He also said: "The evidence is conclusive in the closing of the position here, as long as the relevant matters are handed over, it is not too difficult to find out the case

It turned out that Gu Yanzhang invited Chen Ducai to Chang Ping to ask questions, thirty or forty questions, and the other party couldn't answer any of them, either Gu left and right to talk about him, or he said straight that he didn't know anything, and it was all bad things that the subordinates did to hide from him.

Gu Yanzhang didn't have the kung fu to spend it with him here.

Chen Du is the official of the imperial court, the other party is familiar with the law, he has served as a magistrate, a magistrate, etc., and has been adjudicating the case for many years, and it is not something that can be coaxed out by a few random words, the two only answered each other for a while, and Gu Yanzhang clearly realized that relying on a few simple words here, even if the warehouse is full of physical evidence, as long as Chen Ducai pretends to be stupid, he has no way to force the other party to admit guilt.

Since this is the case, Gu Yanzhang simply followed the old practice and handed over Chen Ducai to the Beijing Criminal Division for processing.

In this way, one is to give credit to colleagues in the division, and the other is that he really doesn't have the time to interrogate. It's better to give half of the fat than everyone who doesn't have to eat.

If the colleagues in the division are tried, and they lead the team to find out the problems in the regular liquidation, they will naturally be able to share part of the credit with the subordinates, and the officials of the criminal department in the capital can also share the credit of the trial.

If you have merit and don't eat alone, you can not make the rest of the people look red and lift the table.

Gu Yanzhang understands very well that he is just a deputy envoy in the Criminal Punishment Department for the first time, nominally second only to Hu Quan, who is temporarily appointed to raise the official affairs of the Criminal Prison, but in fact, the public hall will randomly mention a low-level official, and his qualifications are much higher than him.

Sometimes, it's not like you can do something if you want to. How to weigh the pros and cons and turn resistance into assistance is the most important thing. Compared to these, the exclusive credit or something is secondary.

In this case, what his own family can't do, the poor can do, so he wrote down the situation here, told the first person to ride four, and quickly return to the capital, and explained the situation here with Hu Quan, one is to quickly transfer the new official to take over Chen Ducai, and the other is to escort him back to Beijing to await trial.

Although he had only just sent the letter out now, Gu Yanzhang was already ready to leave for the next place in a few days.
