Jiang Zhen's seizure of the imperial court's military rations has been known to the world.

Many people have great admiration for him.

Even He Xianyan is no exception.

To be precise, He Xianyan regards Jiang Zhen as his idol.

It's just that he doesn't know that the current Jiang Zhen is the food and salary supervisor of the imperial court in Jinling City.

Today's questioning is aimed at him.

"It turned out to be Master Jiang."

"See Lord Jiang in Xiahe's trial!"

"He Xianyan, back to business, how did you and Liu Ju meet?"

"Lord Jiang, I was framed by someone below, and I have always taken Lord Jiang as a model below......"

Jiang Zhen asked in an accentuated tone, "How do you know Liu Ju?" What did you do with him? ”

"Master Jiang, I admire you very much and kowtow to you!"

He Xianyan didn't answer the question, just frantically patted Jiang Zhen's rainbow fart.

However, for Jiang Zhen, who has been up and down in the sea and has just been exempted from capital crimes, he obviously doesn't eat this set.

Jiang Zhen gestured to Jinyiwei's chin and said, "Go, give him a mouthful, let him sober up." ”

"Yes."

Jin Yiwei rounded his arms, grabbed He Xianyan's collar, and slapped him twice with a bow left and right.

He Xianyan was so excited a second ago, but now the whole person is completely confused.

He touched his swollen cheeks, at a loss, and asked blankly, "Master Jiang, why are you hitting?" Ginger-sama? ”

Jiang Zhen adjusted his sitting posture, frowned and asked, "This official's patience is limited, you tell me, how did you and Liu Ju meet?" "Ginger-sama......"

"Let him taste the bitterness." Jiang Zhen waved his hand, his expression obviously impatient.

The kid in front of him is messing around with himself.

Isn't this a pure waste of time?

Chitose asked him to come to Jinling City as a food and salary supervisor.

The clear-eyed person thought that he was going to take up a post in Jinling City.

But Jiang Zhen knew in his heart that he was sent here by Chitose to investigate the case.

Since it is an investigation, the time left for him by Chitose Ye is very scarce.

So he couldn't afford to waste time and energy on He Xianyan.

Jin Yiwei dragged He Xianyan into the damp and dark little dark room.

A moment later, Young Master He's heart-rending screams came from inside the small black room.

Soon, Jin Yiwei brought He Xianyan in again.

This time, Jiang was really in a good mood.

Because He Xianyan was like sprinkling beans, he told everything he knew.

Good guys!

The He family deserves to be the richest man in Jinling City.

It is worthy of being the three top wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

The scale of their family's grain business covers almost half of the Ming Dynasty.

There were even special caravans to transport grain to the north.

As for what to do?

That goes without saying.

Jiang Zhen seemed to have found a treasure, and his eyes were shining, and he asked Jin Yiwei to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He Xianyan said slowly, and Jiang Zhen remembered quickly.

According to the confession confessed by He Xianyan, there are several suspicious points in the He family in Jinling City.

First of all, the He family hoarded 31,000 acres of fertile land in Ninghua Mansion.

But the 31,000 acres of land still do not belong to the He family in the legal sense.

Rather, after some trickery, the number was replaced by 31,000 local people.

It is in this way that they occupy the fertile land of the country.

As for the 31,000 ordinary people who didn't even know the real situation, in the official documents, each of them had an acre of fertile land of unknown origin on their heads.

In addition, the Wang family of Ninghua Mansion followed the way of the He family and borrowed the channels of the He family.

used exactly the same means to annex 10,000 acres of fertile land that belonged to the imperial court.

Their fields made the common people pay grain taxes for them.

And that's not worse.

What's even worse is that the He Mansion and the Royal Mansion add up to 41,000 mu of fertile land in Ninghua Mansion, with a total of 270,000 stone of grain per year, how do they realize it?

It was at these two time points that Zhou Xian used troops against Liaoyang and Hazier this year.

The two families sold each stone to the imperial court at a price twice the market price.

Then the imperial court went to the disaster victims at a loss and distributed military rations.

And Liu Ju saw a business opportunity.

He took the grain that he received from the imperial court to the people, and then gave it to the Wang family and the He family at the market price.

In the end, the He family took the money from the second wave of the imperial court.

It's a closed loop of profits.

It's a vicious circle.

The key is that there are no loopholes in the approval documents they made to the government.

I can't see anything wrong.

In addition, the family behind He Xianyan has 200,000 acres of land in the Lianghuai area for two days.

Compared with the 31,000 acres in Ninghua Mansion, 200,000 acres is the true essence of their family.

200,000 acres of fertile land can harvest 1.2 million stones of grain a year.

One stone is 60 catties, which is 72 million catties.

So much grain can be piled up in all the granaries of Jinling City.

But now for Jiang Zhen.

The problem is not here.

The question is, how do their families maintain this state and make illegal profits for many years?

Before the establishment of the Department of Rations.

The development and purchase of grain, grass, salt mines, and iron ore in the imperial court had to be submitted to the household department of the imperial court for approval.

Therefore, if there are no people from the two major families in the household department, it will be difficult for them to do it.

In particular, the imperial court has recently stepped up its efforts to investigate the problem of grain and grass transshipment.

The He family hasn't been picked up yet.

If it weren't for the fact that He Xianyan reported the case and pulled out the radish and brought out the mud.

These things really let them get through the trick.

As for which official of the household department provided convenience to their family.

He Xianyan didn't know.

Jiang Zhen didn't force him to ask.

Because He Xianyan is such a gentleman, he likes to express himself.

It really made him dive into the family business.

It's hard for him to do that.

However, Jiang Zhen also understood Zhou Xian's intentions.

It seems that the master of the court has long known that the grain and grass transfer here in Jinling has been rotten.

The land here is rotten, too.

And the He family is just a symptom, really check it, it is intricate, and it is definitely not simple!

The He family united with the Wang family of Ninghua Mansion to loot the silver of the white flowers that the imperial court collected at a high price through the capital.

What about Jinling?

Not to mention Jinling.

The students dared to shoot and kill thousands of households.

It's all messed up like this, what else is there to say.

After Jiang Zhen left the prison.

Immediately, he compiled the records of his interrogation into a fold and sent them to the capital overnight.

And Zhou Xian obviously understands such a situation.

He asked Hou Lianhui to draft a response, and gave Jiang Zhen's work a four-word guide, that is: investigate to the end.

Zhou Xian knew very well that the soil in the Lianghuai area had deteriorated.

Since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, Huaixi Xungui has become a huge factor threatening the stability of the imperial court.

In addition, the rise of Huaixi Xungui and the Donglin Party is very fast.

The wealth of the Yuan Dynasty that they gathered had greatly hindered the development of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the wealth accumulated by the rich people in the Lianghuai region is already rich and rivals the country.

This is for historical reasons.
