On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and Shen Yichen led people to the dock early, waiting for the arrival of the imperial court's boat carrying water conservancy silver.

Not long after, accompanied by the thick fog on the river, a fleet of ships could be faintly seen sailing towards the dock of Zhang Qiuzhen.

"The proprietor, the boat is here."

Bian He reminded in a whisper that he did not go to the river construction site of the breach today, but was left by Shen Yichen to receive the water conservancy silver.

The main reason is that Shen Yichen is still not very at ease with the officials of Yanggu County in terms of silver and grain, and he has to keep the accounts by his own people.

Soon the boat docked on the shore, and a green-robed official walked down from the head of the ship, and immediately saluted after seeing Shen Yichen: "Liu Xiazhong, the ambassador of the Taicang Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs, meet Youxian!" ”

"Ambassador Liu, get up, it's been a hard journey."

"It is hard work to control the water in the constitution, and the lower officials are far from being as good as the subordinates!"

After exchanging a few polite words, Liu Xiazhong took a copy of the account book from the entourage behind him and handed it to Shen Yichen.

"You Xian, this is the bill of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Inner Treasury to allocate money, please sign for it."

Shen Yichen took this account book, which recorded in detail all kinds of silver money and materials delivered by the imperial court to Hegong, equivalent to 500,000 taels of silver, and the actual arrival was 350,000 taels.

Seven percent off?

Originally, when he saw the figure of 500,000 taels, Shen Yichen couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, this was 100,000 taels more than the expected 400,000 taels, and he didn't wait so long for Bai to stand here this morning.

As a result, I never expected that the actual arrival was only 350,000 taels!

Shen Yichen knew that the Ming Dynasty had always had a tradition of "drifting" in terms of food and salary, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, when the government was corrupted, and the drifting was even more exaggerated.

For example, the military salary in Liaodong had to be lost in the hands of the eunuchs before it left the Forbidden City, and the six departments of the cabinet were drifted away by another 20% as soon as they were handled, and the miscellaneous transportation had to be reduced by 20%.

In the end, in the hands of the warlords of Liaodong, he kept a big head, and the family guards around him made a small head, and the military households at the bottom were cannon fodder, and the food and salary were purely lonely.

Even if the power is as monstrous as Wei Zhongxian, if he wants to pay or something, he has to leave 30% in accordance with the rules, and he unswervingly implements what is called "equality for all".

However, this is all a matter of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the drift during the Orthodox Dynasty is still in a reasonable range, generally not more than one percent. In other words, Shen Yichen can get at least 450,000 taels of water and silver, and as for the remaining 50,000 taels, I'm afraid that Daluo Immortal will not come.

"This time, the treasury of water conservancy and silver is empty, and the ministers can only allocate 300,000 taels after discussion, or the holy lord will spend an extra 200,000 taels from the inner treasury, which is enough to see the emperor's grace and holy scroll."

Liu Xiazhong didn't pay attention to the change in the expression on Shen Yichen's face, on the contrary, he was still patting his ass diligently, hoping to take this opportunity to win favor.

You must know that when Shen Yichen left Beijing, many officials and ministers inside and outside the government and the opposition thought that he had offended Wang Zhen, and I am afraid that he would never return.

Now Zhu Qizhen indirectly announced one thing to the civil and military officials by using the inner treasury to allocate silver, that is, Shen Yichen still won the emperor's heart, and he may make a comeback at any time.

At this time, if you don't deliberately make friends and mix with familiar faces, when will you stay?

It's just that Liu Xiazhong was greeted not with good words, but with a group of fierce and vicious sergeants.

"All the soldiers listen to the order, take down the people for me!"

The Shandong transport troops who were waiting to carry the water conservancy silver heard Shen Yichen's sudden order, although they didn't understand what was happening, but now their food and clothing plus military salaries were all distributed by Shen Yichen, and they could already fight wherever they wanted.

So without the slightest hesitation, the soldiers rushed forward and pressed Liu Xiazhong and his entourage to the ground.

In the face of this sudden change, Liu Xiazhong's whole person was blind, just now Shen Yichen didn't return the kind and polite attitude to himself, why did he change his face in an instant?

Changing to other local officials, Liu Xiazhong also dared to rely on his identity as a Beijing official in the household department and the power in charge of silver and grain to threaten a few words. But now standing in front of him is Shen Yichen, this popular official has not been tried by the three law divisions, and the local seven-rank official can be killed without harm.

He is a mere nine-grade "warehouse manager", where did he have the courage to threaten him?

"If the lower officials have any offense, please also ask Lord Xian to have a large number of them!"

"Then do you know where to offend this official?"

"I don't know."

"Water conservancy silver is a matter of life and death for thousands of people, 500,000 taels to 300,000 taels, and the drift is as high as 30%, dare you say you don't know?"

Shen Yichen was really angry at the moment, and he also discussed with Jiang Pei, the county leader, yesterday to give priority to the construction of commercial facilities such as docks, which is equivalent to giving up some of the vulnerable groups among the victims.

The arrival of this water conservancy bank, to put it cruelly, is equivalent to the lives of those who were abandoned.

During the orthodox period, the court drifted internally, and it was absolutely impossible to reach as high as thirty percent, and Shen Yichen suspected that it was more of a problem with warehousing. The little ghost at the bottom took this opportunity to fill the gap of his greed for ink with drifting, and if he was replaced by another local official, he might grit his teeth and admit it.

Hearing that Shen Yichen was drifting to himself, Liu Xiazhong showed an aggrieved look on his face, and shouted that he was wronged: "The blue sky can be learned, the lower officials have no guts to be greedy for ink, water and silver, and the imperial court is indeed only 350,000 taels." ”

"What about the remaining 150,000 taels?"

"There are no 150,000 taels, Your Majesty's inner treasury will actually only take out 100,000 taels, and I hope that you will see it!"

Zhu Qizhen actually allocated half of it?

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard it, he only knew that the army would be exaggerated, such as 100,000 people claiming to be 200,000. I really don't know that the emperor's internal treasury appropriation will be exaggerated like this.

However, with Liu Xiazhong's official title, he didn't dare to throw the pot on the emperor with ten guts. It can only show that Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is a ghost who wants to save face, and his personality is getting better and better, and he has no money to pretend to be big!

"It seems that the official has misunderstood, and I will compensate Ambassador Liu here."

Since the problem is not in the warehouse, Shen Yichen naturally will not wronged people for no reason. So he walked over, helped Liu Xiazhong up, and apologized.

"The lower officials can't afford it, and they are polite."

Liu Xiazhong was sweating profusely and laughing, no wonder when he got on the boat in Tongzhou, he heard rumors of labor on both sides of the river, and the official authority of the champion was terrifying.

Today, it is.

"Jiang Xiancheng, Ambassador Liu has been traveling all the way, you can receive it."

"Yes, Grace."

Jiang Pei, the county magistrate behind him, gave up his orders, others may not understand why Shen Yichen suddenly broke out, but he knew it in his heart.

Water conservancy silver is life-saving money!

"Mr. Bian, you can stay here to receive the silver grain, and the master of the river work can rest assured."

"Subordinates obey."

After explaining the specific matters, Shen Yichen did not continue to stay at the wharf, but returned to the temporary station to continue to design the planning plan of Zhang Qiuzhen's wharf.

Now that the imperial court water conservancy money has arrived, there is no need to worry about the problem of migrant workers' salaries in a short time, and they can build a large number of projects in an all-round way. Shen Yichen plans to work together with residential buildings, commercial land, and water conservancy and river works to complete the prototype of the project before the flood season next year.

The only thing that is lacking today is enough people's power!

The homeless people who others regard as a scourge, but Shen Yichen tries every possible way, but he can't ask for it!

However, things soon took a turn for the better, and a few days later, the sergeant of the guard, who went to the land of the three provinces and eight provinces, completed his mission and began to return to Zhang Qiu Town. They were accompanied by nearly 100,000 displaced people from various provinces, and there was a steady stream of follow-ups, and according to Han Yong's estimates, the number would not be less than 500,000.

The arrival of the Yun army and a large number of displaced people can be regarded as supplementing Shen Yichen's current urgently needed people. He immediately instructed Han Yong and others to select tens of thousands of strong people from them and immediately devote themselves to the construction of docks and houses.

The remaining tens of thousands of people were too weak to immediately begin manual labor. We can only wait for them to recuperate for a few days, and then arrange to dig the flood channel and strive to block the breach as soon as possible.

"You Xian, the lowly office has been assigned to the recently arrived homeless people according to your orders. However, there are still a large number of people on the way, and Zhang Qiuzhen may not be able to accommodate so many people. ”

After Han Yong distributed the displaced people, he came to Shen Yichen to return his respects, and at the same time expressed his worries.

The arrival of nearly 100,000 displaced people has already made some signs of overcrowding in Zhang Qiuzhen, and hundreds of thousands more will arrive in the future, and they don't know where to resettle.

Just like a famous saying in "Lao Tzu", misfortune and fortune rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. Shen Yichen's side has just alleviated the gap in people's power, and trouble has ensued on the other side, even if Zhang Qiuzhen is a big town in the Ming Dynasty, he can't afford hundreds of thousands of people.

"50,000 people are needed to rebuild Zhangqiu Town, and 150,000 people are needed to work on the river. When the required people are full, the remaining displaced people will be resettled in Yanggu County, where there are also ten rooms and nine empty rooms. ”

For the resettlement of the displaced people, Shen Yichen has long considered it. Yanggu County is the hardest-hit area of this flood, and it can be said that people's livelihood is withered and in ruins, and it can fully accommodate hundreds of thousands of people in the future.

"If the extra displaced people do not participate in the river work, they must arrange land cultivation for them, otherwise it will become a great burden. But we don't have that much borderland in our hands right now. ”

This is what Han Yong is really worried about, after the arrival of the displaced people, it is impossible to build a porridge shed for nothing, and they must be allowed to fend for themselves.

The only solution to this problem is to issue land. However, Yanggu County does not look at the wasteland that has been cultivated for thousands of miles because no one cultivates it, but in fact, these lands are either under the names of large households, or they are the fields that the royal government took the opportunity to occupy.

It is impossible to get the big families to spit out the meat in their mouths, so they wait for the victims to sell themselves and become their tenants. As for the Zhuangtian encroached upon by the palace, it was even more impossible to think about it.

"Mr. Han Qian, have you forgotten the previous incident of using the fish scale book to collect the grain tax?"

Shen Yichen had a playful smile on his face, he could use the fish scale book to recover the grain tax, and he could also use this method to spit out the land occupied by the big families and redistribute it!

"But such as the Fu family's fields, in fact, they are all the fields of the palace, so you should be cautious!"

Han Yong didn't read much, only a few big words, and couldn't say any big truth. But he knew that the seriousness of the recovery of taxes and grain and the division of the royal land could not be compared. If Shen Yichen dares to do this, he will inevitably face King Lu's thunderous methods.

The current Dongchang Guard Army has been completely loyal to Shen Yichen, and the two sides have formed a community of interests.

If Shen Yichen was damaged by King Lu's retaliatory blow, it would mean that the Dongchang Weiyun Army would have a hard time in the future, and Han Yong didn't want such a thing to happen.

"The official knows this matter in his heart, Han Qian can rest assured."

Shen Yichen understood what Han Yong was worried about, so he said something to appease.

Now the contradiction between him and King Lu is destined to be irreconcilable, and he doesn't care about such a thing at all.

It can even be said that Shen Yichen didn't plan to wait for King Lu's retaliation at all, he was still thinking about how to take the initiative, such as the account book in the hands of Changshi Jianning!

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

After Shen Yichen appeased Han Yong and withdrew, Jian Ning appeared in his room sneakily wearing a robe and a hat.

"Xiaguan Jianning, meet with Youxian."

"Jian Changshi, did you look like a gentleman on the beam last night?"

Faced with Jian Ning's ghostly appearance, Shen Yichen really couldn't help but ridicule, is it necessary to dress up like this?

What Shen Yichen didn't expect was that he really told himself that Jian Ning did what a gentleman did last night. Of course, he didn't do it himself, but arranged for his subordinates to do it.

Seeing that Jian Ning's face was full of embarrassment, he took out a notebook from under his coat and handed it to Shen Yichen and said.

"You Xian, this is the account book of Ma Participating in politics and the records of the royal government, and it took a lot of effort for the lower officials to get it."

Seeing that Jian Ning really got the account book, Shen Yichen was a little surprised to be honest.

He originally thought that if Jian Ning could honestly tell the location of the account book, it would already be considered a discovery of conscience, and he would have to find a way to get it himself in the future.

Now it seems that Jian Ning still has some courage to "break the cauldron and sink the boat", and understands that the average wall-rider dies the fastest, and he must stand in line with a clear banner.

"Jian Changshi has made a great contribution, and this official will not forget it."

Shen Yichen praised it, and then took the account book from Jian Ning's hand.

It's just that Jian Ning faced Shen Yichen's praise, the smile on his face was even uglier than crying, he had already expected what kind of tragic fate he might experience after the East Window incident.

A "ruthless" person like Shen Yichen really has to keep his promise?

Flipping through Ma Huiguo's account books at will, Shen Yichen didn't think much of a big deal at first. After all, this kind of thing of land annexation was too common in the Ming Dynasty, and it was bizarre that the feudal princes and scholars in various places did not do this kind of thing.

It's nothing more than that the level of the political secretary and King Lu is higher, and his appetite is bigger.

As a result, Shen Yichen's face soon became gloomy, because he found a set of extremely amazing data in the ledger. That is, Ma Huiguo and King Lu allocated all the land in the entire Yanggu County in advance.

And judging from the date, far before I came to Yanggu County!

The people of Yanggu County are still there, how to distribute their land, and the influence of forcibly seizing and seizing the entire county's land is too bad, and it is easy to reach the sky!

If you want to do it quietly, then there is one of the best ways, and that is that dead people can't speak.

Shen Yichen had always thought that the county commander Meng Anwei besieged the people of Yanggu County in the river valley in order to whitewash the peace and not be impeached by his own imperial history for poor disaster relief.

Now he knows that all this has nothing to do with him, even if he didn't come to Yanggu County to control the water, these people would definitely die!

The result that King Lu and the officials of the political department wanted was that Yanggu County would become a hell on earth, so that they could seize these fields openly.

At the same time, Shen Yichen was still in the account book and saw a familiar name, he was the current governor of Shandong, Zhang Ji!

Zhang Ji's participation in it means that the entire Shandong local government has been fully in cahoots with King Lu!
