Chapter 96: Where is the silver hidden?
Of course, it must not be too publicized now, and Yang Zhi believes that this day will not be too far away.
First arm Chen Dong and the others who follow him in the capital.
These armors, even if they don't have bulletproof functions, are definitely the strongest armors of this era.
At home, I had a warm meal with Wu Qianqian, and I had a delicious meal made by Wu Qianqian.
As for the up and down, isn't that normal? One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, even if Yang Zhi asks Wu Qianqian to go back to the room to do something she loves to do, she will never refuse.
The current Yang Zhi is no longer the young master of the Yang family a few months ago, and the Wu family is in ruins.
He is a loyal and brave uncle, and he is also the governor of Songzhou!
Unconsciously, the attitude of the people around him has changed.
Yang Zhi left his small courtyard, and the second place he went to was naturally the Feng Mansion.
I haven't seen Feng Jingwen's chick for a long time, and she looks like she has lost a lot of weight.
Compared with Wu Qianqian, Feng Jingwen and Yang Zhi have always been more restrained in getting along.
Although everyone can see the feeling between them, Yang Zhi doesn't go to his house to propose, she is a girl, so she can't take the initiative to send it to the door!
Yang Zhi saw Feng Jingwen's resentment from her eyes, and joked: "You won't be waiting for me to come to the door to propose!" ”
Feng Jingwen's face was slightly red, she, the eldest lady of the Feng family, used to have her eyes above the top, and she didn't know when, she already had a deep love for the scoundrel-like man in front of her.
"Wait for the New Year, when the time comes, I will definitely find Lao Feng in person and say that I will marry you into the door."
Hearing Yang Zhi's words, Feng Jingwen blushed and said, "Who is going to marry you!" ”
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "If you really don't marry, then I'll marry Qianqian baby first." ”
Feng Jingwen kicked her feet, glared at Yang Zhi, and then ran away with a blushing face.
"Haha!"
Lao Feng didn't know where he came out, and asked tentatively: "Little Brother Yang, don't bother you young people to talk!" ”
This old and unserious one, I'm afraid I've been hiding aside and eavesdropping!
"No, no, I'm discussing with Miss Feng about future cooperation?"
Yang Zhi also smiled: "Lao Feng, you are running fast, leave me alone in Xiping Pass." ”
Feng Zhongyao laughed and said, "Aren't I in a hurry to come back and prepare military funds for you?" ”
It seems that Lao Feng also knew the purpose of his coming, but he didn't embarrass Yang Zhi.
If this is replaced by Ma Dayuan, he may have to be involved with him for a long time.
When Yang Zhi and Lao Feng entered the middle hall of the Feng family, they felt a sense of warmth, and at first glance, good guy, Lao Feng's house was also burned with a stove.
"This was sent by the eldest lady of the Wu family, and there is also it in the courtyard of Jingwen's girl."
When Lao Feng saw Yang Zhi's gaze, he knew what he was thinking.
It's really embarrassing, Yang Zhi didn't expect to send it to Lao Feng's family, but Wu Qianqian, a chick, thought of it, and did it really well.
It seems that there is a woman in the family who is careful, and she will do these little things properly.
Next, Yang Zhi told Feng Zhongyao about his thoughts, about the issue of the change of guard between the government soldiers and the guards of Xiping Pass, of course, this matter is long-term, and it cannot be completed in one day or two days.
Lao Feng is the assassin of Songzhou after all, and he still has to talk to him about the transfer of troops.
Lao Feng naturally has no opinion on Yang Zhi's thoughts, just ask Yang Zhi to send the relevant documents to the Assassin's Mansion, which is also to avoid people from the Ministry of War.
Although Yang Zhi, the governor of the capital, is nominally under his control, the local military and political affairs have always been controversial, and the military department will also have relevant restraints on the local army.
Just like Ma Dayuan in the past, if Feng Zhongyao wanted to transfer him, he could refuse to accept the deployment on the grounds that he did not have the documents of the Ministry of War.
Now that the governor has been replaced by Yang Zhi, Lao Feng's work is much easier.
Yang Zhi is most worried about the issue of military salaries now, the military salaries of the Xiping defenders have been in arrears for three months, but this part of the military salaries has already been allocated by the household department, but it was embezzled by Ma Dayuan.
20,000 troops, three months' salary, that's more than 60,000 taels of silver.
Then there are the military assets sold by Ma Dayuan, and the winter clothes of the 20,000 army, which will be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Coupled with the empty salaries he ate, this Ma Dayuan has been in Xipingguan for three years, even if he still needs to take care of it, the silver he embezzled is definitely not less than 100,000 taels of silver.
A small third-grade military general can embezzle 100,000 taels, this is a petty official's huge greed!
Yang Zhi checked Ma Dayuan's yard in Xipingguan, and there was nothing of value in it except for a few women he raised.
This proves that Ma Dayuan's silver must have been hidden in a place that he thought was the safest.
Ma Dayuan's matter is in an uproar, the other person is dead, and the holy decree from the imperial court has already arrived, but this Ma Dayuan is also a bare pole, there are a lot of women, but he has no children.
The people of the Ma family are all in the capital.
The silver that Ma Dayuan embezzled in Xipingguan could not be sent to the capital thousands of miles away, and he himself was not at ease.
Yang Zhi guessed that he must have been placed here by a person he trusted the most, and after hearing the news from Zhang Erniu, in three years, Ma Dayuan ran to Songzhou City in three days, but no one knew where he went.
But there is one news that Yang Zhi pays special attention to, that is, when Ma Dayuan was the earliest, the place he went to was Wanhualou.
Yang Zhi told Lao Feng all this, in fact, Lao Feng was not idle during this time, he had already sent someone to investigate where Ma Dayuan's silver was hidden, but his people searched all over Songzhou City and did not find it.
Three months' military salary, even if it is the treasury of Songzhou Prefecture, it is very difficult to come up with such a sum of silver.
In the entire Songzhou Mansion, millions of people, this annual tax is only how much, and it has to be handed over to the national treasury, plus the people who still have to support the yamen, there is not much left.
This amount of money will definitely not be released by the household department, and the military department will naturally not recognize it.
Yang Zhi will either find a way to find out the silver that Ma Dayuan embezzled, or he will give out the money himself, even if he is rich now, he can't take out so much silver.
After discussing with Lao Feng, Lao Feng promised that the Songzhou Treasury would allocate 30,000 taels of silver, and let Yang Zhi pay part of the military salary first.
Lao Feng had done his best, and Yang Zhi also knew that it was because this metropolitan governor was him Yang Zhi, otherwise it might be a matter of having a fight with the Ministry of War.
When he came out of Lao Feng's house, Yang Zhi's mood was not much better, he just came to ask for silver and military funds, but with such a big skeleton, Lao Feng couldn't do anything.
"Chen Dong, let's go, take you to Wanhualou for a walk!"
Yang Zhi had a wicked smile on his face, and he was horrified to see Chen Dong and the others.
I haven't been to see the young ladies of Wanhualou for a long time, and I don't know if they think about themselves, whether they will forget themselves, it seems that they will have to go often in the future to communicate their feelings.
