Chapter Ninety-Two: Finally Revealed
Zhao Qingyuan and Huang Zicheng obviously underestimated the pervasiveness of the inspection of the General Administration Department, and the groom who drove the car for the two of them, although they were old servants in Zhao Qingyuan's family for many years.
But I don't know that this seemingly loyal and honest groom has always been the son of the inspector of the General Administration.
Every word they said in the carriage, they thought that they would not pass out even half a word, but in fact, it reached Hu Hanshan's ears word for word.
Hu Hanshan and Li Jun did not sit in a carriage with satin curtains, but rode two Liaodong horses, and their voices were neither loud nor small.
In public, there is no need to worry that what they say will leak out.
It has always been the inspectors of the Department of General Administration to inquire about the news of officials, and there has never been a precedent for the cronies of officials to listen to the yamen of the Department of General Administration.
Before Zhao Qingyuan came over, he had already arranged for a cronie to mix in the vicinity of Hu Han Mountain.
Before this cronie could stay long, he was casually framed by the inspector of the Yamen of the General Administration Department and sent to Yingtianfu Prison.
Zhao Qingyuan has been kept in the dark until now, thinking that his cronies are still around Hu Hanshan to find out the news.
Hu Hanshan nodded, and the inspector who was in charge of delivering the news respectfully retreated.
Hu Hanshan was calculated by Zhao Qingyuan, but his face was full of smiles: "It's really sleepy and the pillow came, and Ma Zheng in this county is thinking about how to get rid of the two of them." ”
"These two people collided with each other in search of death, and gave the county horses a good excuse to rectify them."
Li Jun understood what this thoughtless sentence meant: "Could it be that this time we will not hand over the distribution of disaster relief food to the bureaucrats and squires of Jing County?" ”
Hu Hanshan nodded: "Zhao Qingyuan and Huang Zicheng thought that they could deceive the horses in this county, thinking that the horses in this county were not clear about the doorway here. ”
"They made a mistake in their wishful thinking, and the horses in this county not only know the doorway here, but also disgusted with their hypocrisy of claiming to have saved many ordinary people."
Hu Hanshan knew that Li Jun was not just a military general, but also quite officialdom-minded.
used one thing about the Donglin Party to govern, and said the doorway in disgust.
There was a flood and drought in the local area, and the imperial court carried out disaster relief, and the grain money was cut in half before it left the capital.
Whether it was food or silver, half of it was intercepted by the officials of the six ministries, regardless of whether the people were greedy for ink or alive.
The disaster relief grain money reached the local political secretary's yamen, and it was cut in half again.
The officials of the government secretary and the yamen used various excuses to embezzle large sums of grain and silver.
The disaster relief grain money finally reached the local government and county, and it was cut in half again.
The little relief food left was all distributed to the local squires who did not lack food and drink.
Li Jun originally thought that no matter how greedy the officials were, they would have to leave some rations for the people and leave a living mouth.
But I never thought that from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, no one treated the people as human beings.
starved to death, starved to death, just thinking about how much silver he could take advantage of this national disaster.
Li Jun hugged his fists in the direction of Jinling, and admired the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang a little more: "Emperor Hongwu is still virtuous, in order for the people to have a good life, there will be no appeasement for corrupt officials and corrupt officials." ”
Hu Hanshan quite agreed with Li Jun's words, and it was precisely because of this that those scholars who had mastered the pen in later generations tried all kinds of ways to discredit Emperor Hongwu.
At the stall where the two were chatting, Zhao Qingyuan took Huang Zicheng and a few officials from Ning Guofu and stopped in the post station.
It's only been a long time since I left Jinling, and although it's time for dinner, there are always priorities.
The most important task now is to rush to Jing County to help the people affected there.
As for eating and drinking, Hu Hanshan had already prepared some dry food and water, and he could eat while walking.
Zhao Qingyuan waited until the post station set up a banquet, and asked the chief to invite Hu Hanshan, and the meal was secondary, mainly to discuss the distribution of disaster relief food.
Hu Hanshan had just sat down and hadn't taken a sip of tea.
Zhao Qingyuan said the countermeasures that he had thought of a long time ago: "I don't know what Deputy Envoy Hu thinks about this disaster relief." ”
Hu Hanshan ignored Zhao Qingyuan and took a sip of tea to himself: "Yes, this tea is really good, it is the best in tea." ”
Yi Cheng also thought that Ba had stammered with the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo, and stepped forward to salute: "The post house bought a few dollars of Huangshan pineapple tea, and the little prime minister just drank it." ”
Hu Hanshan didn't wait for Yi Cheng to finish speaking, with a cold face, he overturned the table of the Eight Immortals: "The horses in this county let you eat, and the people of Jing County are still eating leaves and gnawing bark." ”
"It's better for you to go unhurriedly, and you're still here with big fish and meat, discussing how to share the credit."
Zhao Qingyuan looked at the blue and white glazed folding plate that fell to the ground, his face became even colder, but he laughed in his heart: You have offended the officials of Ning Guofu, see who will speak for you.
When Hu Hanshan finished getting angry, Zhao Qingyuan said coldly: "It's okay to do some bastard things in Jinling." ”
"Now that I have left Jinling, no one is used to you, and I will no longer restrain my bastard temperament, and I will delay the major event of disaster relief, so I will inevitably send it to Jinling to ask for guilt."
Zhao Qingyuan's words were directly in the minds of the officials of Ning Guofu, reminding Hu Hanshan that he would not defend the bureaucracy and gentry, and always wanted to protect those mud legs.
Ning Guofu sentenced these officials, and they will definitely stand by Zhao Qingyuan's side, and extinguish their thoughts of drilling the left prime minister Hu Weiyong.
Sure enough, after saying this, the officials of Ning Guofu made a move that they thought would make Hu Hanshan regret it, and took a few steps closer to the little marquis Zhao Qingyuan.
The general trend has been decided, and Huang Zicheng began to perform the duties of the master of Jiangxi: "The distribution of disaster relief food, as usual, must be decided by the parents and officials, and the proprietor means to start with the people of the county. ”
The officials of Ningguo Mansion understood the meaning of Master Huang Zicheng and were greatly relieved, it seems that the envoys who came this time will not become an obstacle to the officialdom of Ning Guofu, preventing the grain merchants in the jurisdiction from hoarding.
As long as the grain merchants are pushed to the front, the bulk of the silver profits will fall into the hands of the officials of Ning Guofu, and if there is a business trip, only the grain merchants need to be pushed out as scapegoats.
The officials of Ningguo Mansion have regarded Zhao Qingyuan as their own, and this year's carbon Jingbing tribute to the central officials is indispensable to Nanxionghou.
"This official agrees, the people of the county are more concentrated, and going to relief first can save more people."
"When it is a disaster relief policy, this official admires it."
"The matter is so finalized, the little prime minister reprimanded him very right, this meal really shouldn't be eaten, I'd better rush to Jing County for disaster relief as soon as possible."
