Chapter 175: Private Use
When Ye Yanqi heard this, he was very clear in his heart.
In fact, it is not uncommon for military funds to be underpaid, omitted, and used for private purposes, and they are exploited at all levels from the capital to the localities, so they are always insufficient in the army.
The Zhenxi Army cultivated the ability of the head soldiers to forage for food, and I am afraid that it is also because of this, and the generals of the Gu family must also know this reason. But Hua'er was so frightened, presumably the Gu family didn't tell her these pickled things, and wanted to protect her chivalrous dream.
Should I tell her?
Just when Ye Yanqi hesitated, Fenghua had already strung together the piles and piles.
The Gu family supplies the Zhenxi Army every year, she knows that the grain and grass in the army are insufficient, and she has been in the Zhenxi Army for two years, and she has also seen the shortage of grain and grass with her own eyes, so she wants to make money to vigorously supply the Zhenxi Army.
In the past, she didn't know the specific medicinal materials and dosage, but now she has been in charge of An Hetang for a year, and she has followed Xiaoshen Medicine for half a year, and she has already started with this way.
She remembered that the shopkeeper Huang of Qinxintang said that in previous years, there was so much silver and so much purchase, and they didn't take a single copper plate.
At that time, she was only happy, feeling that the military medicinal materials were quite profitable, in addition to the justifiable supply, the extra profits could also secretly supply the Zhenxi Army.
Now that I think about it, the purchase volume is enough to fill the Zhenxi Army, and it should be enough this year and in previous years.
But the medicinal materials supplied by their own family appeared in the suburbs, so isn't there a shortage of winter medicinal materials received by the Zhenxi Army this year? So the shortage in previous years was not because the silver allocated by the imperial court was not enough, but was diverted for private use?
But how could Qin Xintang do this without telling the truth?
When the medicine store is delivered, the military department will inevitably count the types and quantities, and it is impossible to release them when there is a shortage of catties and two pounds. No, what if you take care of the people in the military department?
She is also a businessman now, and she knows that there are a lot of expenses in the account, all of which are extra for the official master, but how can they be so dissatisfied, layer after layer!
That's military supplies, which are related to the life and death of more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line!
Fenghua's face became more and more heavy, and when he saw that Ye Yanqi wanted to speak and stopped, he was even more sure of the thoughts in his heart: "They colluded with officials and businessmen to privately divert military supplies, and they have been around for a long time, Xiaoqi, do you know?"
"In the twenty-first year of the new year, Lingchuan was flooded and the treasury was empty. After a lot of fighting, it was not easy to gather the relief money. But the local people were greedy, did not remember the king's grace, and attacked him violently, and his father was furious and criticized the suppression of the mob. Later, I learned that the people of Lingchuan had not received any silver at all." Ye Yanqi said something very long-ago, full of helplessness.
"Exploited to this point?" Fenghua is unbelievable.
"Military salaries, grain and grass, disaster relief funds, and pacification salaries, as long as there are interests, there will be corruption, but as long as the local government can handle it well and not make trouble with the emperor, it will be exposed. If you can cover up the truth, there will be no heavy punishment. Didn't the suburban village say it was a mob at first?"
This is also the truth that Ye Yanqi secretly traveled to many places, combined with the information of intelligence.
"These things go through so many people from top to bottom that they can't be completely hidden. Like this time, we broke it, and so many people in the court and the middle were all speechless?" Fenghua said angrily.
"There may be many people who know, but those who have a heart have no evidence." Ye Yanqi talked about the example that happened at this time, "We, Qianhe, and the medical officers of Tai Hospital all think that the plague in the suburban village is strange, and because we know Vice General Hao, we are almost certain that someone deliberately poisoned it, but we still can't find evidence. Thankfully, because we are in charge every day, the money for the reconstruction of the suburbs has finally been realized."
"The bandaging is the evidence, and I'm going to find out anyway." It is about the Zhenxi Army, and Fenghua cannot sit idly by.
"Of course we have to investigate, but the packaging alone is not enough."
Just when Gu Fenghua said how he figured out the collusion between officials and businessmen, Ye Yanqi knew that this was an opportunity.
In fact, there are similar cases in the East Palace, but because the officials in charge of the military department and the household department were all brought out by Chen Hong, they have never been able to investigate in depth.
In most cases, they do not know the difference between the total number and the actual number, and if the difference is small, they will deal with a few minor officials, which is not a big deal; There is only one case as large as the Lingzhou flood, and more than ten years have passed, and there is no physical evidence, and it is impossible to count with only a few witnesses.
If there is no empirical evidence in these cases, they will not be able to turn them over, otherwise not only will they not be able to shake the foundation of the other party, but they will also expose themselves and be suspicious of His Majesty.
As for the matter of the medicinal materials of the Zhenxi Army, Fenghua knew the total amount of silver, as well as the amount of medicinal materials needed, and also knew that Qinxintang was a stronghold for selling stolen goods, which was really a once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough.
After listening to Ye Yanqi's words, Fenghua was not very happy, "I don't care who you want to bring down, what I want is that the military funds will be sent to the Zhenxi Army in full, and whoever makes a mistake in the middle, I will find it."
"Okay, whoever provokes Hua'er, we'll look for whom." Ye Yanqi knew very well that the Zhenxi Army was Gu Fenghua's counter-scale, and this matter would benefit both of them.
But his purpose is to shake the foundation of the other faction, otherwise one person can supervise the military resources of the Zhenxi Army, but he can't supervise the suburbs and villages in the world.
He didn't say these words.
Because this is what the emperor and courtiers should think, and a chivalrous woman should not be allowed to carry it.
Fenghua calmed down, and also understood that Ye Yanqi had Ye Yanqi's concerns, and he had his own limitations, so he softened his tone slightly, "Then let's cooperate, I want to participate in the whole process of this matter, and know every decision, is it okay?"
"I promise you." Ye Yanqi responded.
Fenghua pondered for a moment and said, "Let the military funds that have been privately appropriated in Beijing be exposed first, and then it is logical to check the military funds on the way. The inconsistency between the book and the real thing, coupled with the corroboration of the bandaging method by An Hetang, is considered an empirical evidence. We want to send people to the warehouses in Qinxin Hall to reconcile the accounts."
"It's too obvious to just check the Qinxintang family, if you want to check, you have to check the medicine stores in the whole capital." Ye Yanqi had already thought of an excuse, "On the grounds that people are suffering from this epidemic, I suggest that the imperial court fund the purchase of medicinal materials, so that the people of the whole capital can take the decoction to prevent the epidemic. and then through the purchase of medicinal materials, check the medicine stores in the capital."
"You have to step on the location of the medicinal herb warehouse in advance and attack them at night to catch them off guard, and if you act two days later, is it feasible?"
"Okay, now we'll ......."
In terms of cooperation, the two seem to have always been so tacit.
After discussing for more than an hour and making a plan, Fenghua rubbed his neck, and as soon as he looked up, he met a pair of eyes staring at him.
In the deep darkness, she saw her own shadow and sensed restrained affection.
It has only been a few days since I revealed my heart, and the initial apprehension has long been eliminated, and the little sweetness of the slightest button has gradually entered my heart.
When she looked at him, she no longer had the pounding that she was about to jump out of her throat the day before, but her heart was at ease, which made her happy and comfortable.
Her gaze moved down to the bridge of his tall nose and the tip of his nose, and she felt in her heart that Nuwa Niangniang was really preferred, and then moved to the slightly hooked red lips, her heart throbbed, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
What does it taste like?
