The imperial historians who were sent to various places were originally tasked with supervising the officers and soldiers who suppressed the popular rebellion. Prevent soldiers and generals from committing evil deeds such as killing good people or taking advantage of chaos to loot large households.

Yin Xiaocheng governed the army well, and the law was very strict. Although the defenders in various places were dispatched from time to time, they were all strictly disciplined and did not violate discipline or law.

The imperial historians did not have much opportunity to show their skills in their own work, but they learned the cause of the civil uprising - the taxes in Yuanzhou and other places were really heavy, unusually heavy.

The Wonju region has developed commerce and trade, and the arable land is also fertile, and it is a famous place for accumulating wealth and paying a lot of taxes. Correspondingly, the officials who served in Yuanzhou and other places were relatively oily.

In other words, the tax capital in places such as Wonju is heavier than in other places. However, since the previous year, the taxation of Wonju and several surrounding states and counties has reached a terrifying height.

The reason: the imperial court wanted to build a transportation track.

Therefore, the rumors that Wonju and other places caused the civil uprising are not groundless, but that the imperial court did implement heavy taxes in Wonju and other places, very heavy taxes.

The evidence and data collected by the imperial history vary from place to place, but one thing is the same, that is, the tax payment in Yuanzhou for two consecutive years greatly exceeds the number recorded by the household department, and it is not even in the private account records of the prince's mansion and the household department.

This kind of reckless plunder can really cut off the vitality of a large area. In fact, before the drought, trade in the Wonju region had already been severely affected. The peasants, who depend on the sky for food, are also pressed by the heavy taxes and have only a trace of vitality left, and they are barely staying alive.

Therefore, when a natural disaster struck, Wonju and other places had no power to deal with it.

The excerpts played in the imperial history are different from the account books handed in by Jinrong, and they can't be covered up at all. There are not many imperial histories sent to the disaster area, less than ten. But this number, plus their entourage, simply can't control the news from leaking.

After Yu Shiqing, the head of the household, set off from Yin Xiaocheng and Yushi, he waited for this day in horror. Then, the day really came, and the knife that was originally hanging over his head was unavoidable.

The excerpts played in the imperial history were placed on the table, and the emperor and the four ministers of the cabinet were silent.

A lot of things are hard to say and don't need to be said.

The prince can squander his wealth so frantically, and he really can't ask for such a prince. If such a prince is allowed to inherit the great treasure without the need for foreign enemies to attack, the prince's own family will be able to cut off his own country.

It's a pity that Shiqing and others, knowing the prince's character, still want to support him to ascend to the throne, this is to be a minister of the country, right?

The emperor did not publish the two account books, only investigated the tax affairs of Yuanzhou, demoted the crown prince to King Jing, and committed suicide by drinking in Shiqing, and the rest of the household officials were beheaded, exiled, and dismissed after the autumn.

On the contrary, local officials, except for some officials who hold great power who know the inside story, the rest of the lower-level officials are acting according to orders.

The Qincha who investigated the local officials, took the confession issued by the Dali Temple and the emperor's holy decree, and went to Yuanzhou with the personal guards sent by the palace to arrest the officials involved.

For a moment, the court shook.

…………

These things have nothing to do with the people, and the people even cheered and praised the court because the court could punish officials without favoritism.

Ye Xinyan is considered a powerful person, but she is not affected. Half a month later, the Qi family in the back alley of the Guogong Mansion was very lively, and Qi Younian settled the affairs of Yuanzhou and other places and returned to the capital.

Jiang Yifan and his wife took the two boys of the Qi family, as well as Yuan Shang, and also brought a group of stewards and face-saving craftsmen from the construction bank, and took Qi Younian back very ceremoniously.

Everyone had a light meal hotly, settled the old man to rest early, and made an appointment to come back the next day.

On the second day, Jiang Yifan and the others arrived early, and together with Yuan Shang and others, they officially came to pick up Qi Younian.

Although Qi Younian has been on the road for more than ten days, his spirit is not bad, and he rested for a night, accompanied by his grandson and nephew, happy and a little energetic.

Everyone is waiting for the living room to sit down, and after the tea and fruit are served, it is time to talk and greet after a long absence.

The two sides explained their respective conditions in detail, and when Qi Younian told about the situation of the people affected by the disaster in Yuanzhou, everyone lamented.

The Qi family has opened a total of seven construction bank branches in Yuanzhou and neighboring states and counties. A lot of craftsmen and small workers have been recruited in the local area, and Qi Younian knows no less about the situation of the people in Yuanzhou and other places being exploited in the past two years than the supervision of the imperial history.

Although the rumors and the situation announced by the imperial court are true, they can be told by those who have seen it with their own eyes, but there is another kind of heaviness, and everyone is embarrassed to hear it.

Fortunately, Qi Younian's trip was extremely successful, when he passed, Yuanzhou was starving everywhere and all industries were decadent, and a large number of craftsmen with good craftsmanship had nothing to do, as long as they gave food to eat, they could pick up good craftsmen.

Then Zhang Wusi used to sit in the town, and he brought the manpower, property, and equipment from Qingyuan County nearby, and soon set up a team of seven semicolons. Coupled with the support of the temple project funded by the imperial court, it is enough to make the Guangsha construction branch stand firm.

In addition to Yuan Shang and the two stewards and craftsmen present, they were all from their own families. So Ye Xinyan didn't avoid it and sat next to Jiang Yifan.

Yesterday was short, and she didn't have time to ask about the situation of the Yuanzhou branch, and then she couldn't help but be happy when she heard Qi Younian tell in detail about the business situation of the construction branch in the Yuanzhou area.

The builder she had hoped for would not be far off.

After listening to everyone, she interjected and asked, "Grandpa, there are a few guards in the semicolon, Grandpa Zhang and Li Jingnian, you don't have to go over again, right?" She had been waiting for her grandfather to come back for a long time.

Qi Younian smiled: "Hmm." With your Grandpa Zhang guarding, Li Jingnian and Zhao Qiusheng are also their own people, so I won't need my old man for the time being. ”

Although Qi Younian has not been in the capital for a long time, his granddaughter, grandson and nephew are all in the capital. Then, the capital is home, a place where he can care and feel warm.

At this time, Qi Younian was already very satisfied. At the beginning, he returned to his old business, just thinking about earning a dowry for his granddaughter and earning a family business for his grandson.

He was content.

Jiang Yifan smiled on the side: "Grandpa, don't you know, Ah Yan is really worried these days, and I always look forward to your coming back and taking care of her work." Look at how happy she is. ”

Ye Xinyan also laughed and said: "I am really not familiar with the specific affairs of the construction industry, and a few days ago I recruited a lot of craftsmen, which can make me sad these days." ”

In the past, there were Qi Younian, Zhang Wusi and Wang Qiao and others who did specific things. Even after coming to the capital, there were also Zhao Qiusheng, Li Jingnian, Yang Jin and others to help her, Ye Xinyan felt that she was just moving her mouth, or thinking about her appearance, artistic conception or something, I really didn't think she would have shortcomings.

Qi Younian took away most of the reliable and powerful people this time and went to Yuanzhou to build a semicolon team. Ye Xinyan realized that she was actually not good at building, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

At this time, she felt that she could be a rice worm who likes to work hard, how comfortable and comfortable it is. Women are expensive
