If you say that at the beginning, Jiajing was still a little worried, and the next time, he was completely watching the play, and even felt that Li Shiao looked a little funny after being deflated.

But Xu Qian's words completely made Jiajing's face turn cold.

He squinted, and couldn't help but calculate in his heart that the official grain of the imperial court in a year was about 10 million quintals, of which the so-called loss was enough to be 2 million quintals, plus the concealment of land, at least more than 3 million quintals of grain tax was collected.

In this way, a full five million quintals were privately swallowed by these officials and those local tyrants and inferior gentry.

In the past, I may have taken these things for granted, but since Zhejiang can save these deficits and losses, why can't other provinces?

In the final analysis, it was these people down there who regarded him as a Kaizi, thinking that they could fool casually.

Jiajing prides himself on being smart, how can he allow others to fool him.

He nodded slightly and said, "What Xu Aiqing said is extreme. ”

Many civil and military officials heard that what they said was extremely four-worded, and their faces changed suddenly. It means that His Majesty agrees very much, but the problem is that if His Majesty agrees, he will definitely have to supervise, if it was before, everyone could come up with many excuses to come out, saying what is going on with the loss, how difficult it is to conceal the land, and you can fool the mission, but now, Zhejiang has set an example, can you still fool? His Majesty will definitely ask, Zhejiang can, why can't the provinces, Zhejiang has reduced taxes, and can still pay so much official grain, why can't the provinces?

No excuses, they are all pale and powerless.

Xu Qian said again: "Weichen also wants to impeach Li Shiao, the secretary of the household department, Li Shiao, this person, as the secretary of the household department, should be loyal to his duties and supervise the world's money and grain for His Majesty." But not only did he do this, but he also did the opposite, Lord Li ......" Xu Qian stared at Li Shiao with glittering eyes, and said coldly: "The lower official wants to ask you, do you know about the loss?" ”

Of course, it is clear that Li Shiao can say that 1.3 million quintals of grain will be lost by removing 200,000 quintals. Therefore, it is reasonable to enter the warehouse of 1.1 million quintals, and now if he flatly denies that he is not clear about this matter, Xu Qian can immediately take out his words and accuse him of bullying the king.

Li Shiao was in chaos. He had to say: "The old man knows a thing or two, but it's just ......"

Xu Qian sneered, where would he give him a chance to speak, and shouted categorically: "Since you know, why don't you investigate?" Since you are in the know, as the head of the household, you see that the official food is so wasted. Being taken lightly and greedily, why don't you ignore it, but think that it is reasonable, who are you in the book. If you are the head of the imperial court, you know the current predicament of the imperial court, and you know that the imperial court is currently at war and the treasury is tight. So why, you don't ask. Why not investigate an official, why is it indifferent? ”

A series of questions, Li Shiao was speechless, originally these things were unspoken rules, and they were things that everyone took for granted, but now, in this court discussion, Xu Qian asked with righteous words, can Li Shiao answer that this is an ancient truth, and there is no need to delve into it?

Of course, you can't answer like that, and to answer like that is to die.

Li Shiao had no choice but to say: "Loss is a common thing, after all, escorting official food and requisitioning people's husband ......"

Xu Qian sneered: "It seems that Lord Shangshu is going to settle accounts again, okay, then the lower officials will calculate an account for you, last year, Zhejiang's actual official grain was 1.25 million quintals, but the warehousing was only 1.03 million quintals, that is to say, the loss of it exceeded 220,000 quintals, the requisitioned people, a total of 31,000 people and 300 people, if a person's ration is one catty, the time of requisition is only a month, in total, the people's food is only one million catties, the required rations, At most, it is 10,000 quintals, even if these people eat more, after deducting other circumstances, the loss can exceed 20,000 quintals, even if it is good, after all, Zhejiang is the farthest from Nantong Prefecture, and it is only a few hundred miles, obviously the loss is 20,000 quintals, but why, there are as many as 200,000 quintals. Adults are so good at calculating, such a simple arithmetic, haven't they ever counted before? With so many provinces in the world, how much so-called loss can there be? However, the amount of loss is enough to make people stunned, as a scholar of the household department, didn't he see that the so-called loss was not eaten by the people, but by the officials who embezzled the official grain of the court, and did not find out how much fraud there was, how much corruption and lawlessness there were? ”

"Now that the imperial court is mobilizing troops, the treasury is already tight, and His Majesty is worried, why? For the sake of food, there is no food in the DPRK and China, how to use the army, how to provide relief in the event of a disaster, once there is no food, and fall into a situation of internal and external difficulties, this country, the people, have you not considered it at all? ”

These words were obviously said by Li Shiao, but now, Xu Qian said it in a tone of concern for the country and the people, and treated others in the way of others, I am afraid that it will make Li Shiao more uncomfortable than eating flies.

Of course, the adults did not think about it, what the adults thought and thought was nothing more than to be embarrassed by the new policy in Zhejiang, but they never thought that on the one hand, the imperial court was short of food, and on the other hand, the corrupt officials in the provinces were all the rage and embezzled official food. On the contrary, the adults came to criticize Zhejiang's new policy, blame Zhejiang's new tax system, and accuse Zhejiang of exempting the people's grain tax, and would rather let Zhejiang squeeze the people than pursue the encroachment of the officials. ”

When the word thief came out, Li Shiao's face turned green, but he had no way to refute it.

Xu Qian continued to sneer: "I won't care about you for the time being, besides, do you know about the concealment of land?" ”

Li Shiao was completely powerless, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he reluctantly said: "I don't know about the matter of concealing the land." ”

In fact, he naturally knew about this, but Xu Qian couldn't catch his words by concealing the land, so he naturally deduced that he didn't know.

Who knew that someone stood up and said: "Lord Li, the matter of concealing the land, it is clear that the household department has known for a long time, and the lower officials are in the household department, and there have been cases of Yunnan and Shandong provinces concealing the land, but the adults said that this kind of trivial matter should not be ignored. ”

It was Liang Teng, the squire of the household, who stood up to speak, Liang Teng is not a fool, now he has torn his face anyway, either you die or I live, don't you take the opportunity to hit Li Shiao with a black gun at this time, are you embarrassed to mix in the court? The so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, if you don't beat you to death this time, his life will not be easy.

Li Shiao's face changed greatly, he glared at Liang Teng angrily, and was speechless for a while.

Xu Qian smiled cruelly: "Okay, my lord, is this considered a bully to the king, I know that there are many lawlessness, but now in front of the Son of Heaven and in front of the princes of the court, I say that I don't know, and the lower officials want to ask, my lord is so covering up the lawless local tyrants and inferior gentry, is it because he has taken their benefits and taken advantage of them, so he would rather bully the monarch and say that he doesn't know, but also hide it for them?" ”

It is Xu Qian's established policy to go online, if you catch your handle, and don't kill you, then you shouldn't be surnamed Xu, do you still have to say: Please call me a red scarf?

Li Shiao said hesitantly: "You...... Bloody mouth. ”

Xu Qian's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "Whether it is a bloody mouth, everyone knows it clearly, if you don't have other inside information, why do you know it, and you still have to say that you don't know, Lord Li, the lower officials are now going to impeach you for favoritism and fraud, and the corpse is not only incompetent, but also shameless, in addition, as for bullying the king, this can only implore the Holy Judge." ”

Li Shiao was almost scolded and cried, but in fact, Xu Qian's scolding was very reasonable, he seemed to have a crush on Yang Tinghe for help, and Yang Tinghe could only sigh, unable to help.

At this time, whoever gets involved in this matter is considered unlucky, and who let you Li Shiao run into it.

Li Shiao was already in a state of exhaustion, and finally like a defeated rooster, he obediently bowed down: "Your Majesty, the old minister is dizzy, and he is confused for a while, and he also asks His Majesty to ask the minister to resign and return to his hometown!" ”

His face has been completely swept away, and there is really no need to stay in the temple, although he is extremely reluctant, he still knows that this is the most beneficial ending for him, if he doesn't know each other, these charges filed by Xu Qian, once they provoke the anger of the Son of Heaven, may not be the next thing, but the dismissal of the official.

Jiajing's face is still gloomy and terrifying, Xu Qian is certainly scolding, but what he is twisting in his heart is the problem of being fooled, of course, this Li Shiao is also one of the people who fooled him, just like Emperor Taizu encountered the empty seal case, obviously this is an unspoken rule, but when he encounters a more real Emperor Taizu, he always can't help but itch his hands, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't kill hundreds or thousands of dog officials.

Of course, Jiajing is not as good as Emperor Taizu, but his current mood is similar to that of Emperor Taizu who encountered the empty seal case, and his anger rose from his heart, and the anger in his stomach did not vent, and now Li Shiao obediently resigned, he wanted to simply deal with the law, but after a change of heart, he also understood that it was not appropriate to do so, so he had to go down the slope and said: "I am accurate, Li Aiqing is indeed not suitable to serve as the head of the household department again, you hand over the book tomorrow, and I will let the master of ceremonies seal it." ”

There is not even a hypocritical retention, this is the punishment of Li Shiao, which means to say, get out of here, the farther you go, the better, you still want to keep it, and you want the court to take care of your face? Phew, you're thinking too much!

Li Shiao's face was desolate, but he could only kowtow obediently to thank him, and said: "Your Majesty Xià Longen, long live my emperor!" ”
