Chapter 1291: Where Did All the Food Go?
"There aren't two million stone of grain here."
"At most, there are only 500,000 stones, and more than 30% of them are old rice."
"What a big mouse."
"Where does the food go?"
"Could it be that you have eaten them all?"
The mustard seed ring that Chu Qianqiu owned could not only hold a million cubic meters of items, but also infused a Maitreya Buddha statue into it.
A small mustard seed ring, the supreme gods of Buddhism and Taoism are waiting together, what a blessing.
Yuan Shi Tianzun smashed the insect beads, Taishang Laojun fused the space, Da Ri Rulai compressed the volume, and Amitabha Buddha provided energy.
Then there is a Maitreya Buddha who is used to help count items and check the quality of them.
Finally, there is Lingbao Tianzun, who condenses the essence of life and becomes the administrator of the mustard seed ring.
Chu Qianqiu used almost all of his means on a mustard seed ring, so he could put all the rice in the warehouse into the storage ring in an instant, and calculate the quantity and quality of the rice.
So Chu Qianqiu sneered, Taicang Ling [Mi Qingtian], this name is quite good, but I didn't expect it to be a huge mouse.
"Come on, take down this dog thief."
"Order Dali Temple to strictly inspect the Tai Warehouse, and pull out the rats inside."
"No one can be spared."
"And call the prime minister of the cow, I have something to tell him."
Her Majesty finally found an opportunity to stay with her husband for a while, so she followed her to the Tai Warehouse, but she didn't expect that the grain of these two million stones had directly shrunk to 500,000 stones, of which thirty percent was old rice.
There are two kinds of grain stored in the warehouse, one is new rice and the other is old rice.
If it weren't for Chu Qianqiu's early arrival, it is estimated that all the new rice would be replaced with old rice and used to buy and sell.
They must have made a big windfall.
Originally, this Mi family was one of the eight imperial merchants, a person who was in charge of grain and grass for the royal family, and a domestic slave of the royal family.
This slave has become a thief, and Her Majesty the Empress is even more embarrassed.
"Lord, Your Majesty, slaves are guilty, slaves are guilty."
"It's just that the Mi family has made meritorious contributions, and during the Jingming Rebellion, there were no thieves, and there were countless casualties."
"Please spare your life......
Taicang order, Mi Qingtian, the head of the Mi family, has been shaken into chaff, he didn't shout injustice, just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"You dog minion! That's a lot of food. ”
"1.5 million stone of rice, swallow it all into your stomach."
Xiao Qinghe laughed angrily, ready to kick this Taicang order to death.
"Don't get excited, lady, it's not worth being angry about these."
Chu Qianqiu hurriedly calmed the lady's emotions, lest she be too excited and the fetal gas would be bad.
As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, guarding Taicang, not being a mouse, what to do?
This is also why Chu Qianqiu is not in a hurry to promote the technological revolution.
If a society is rotten enough, if you give him a Star Destroyer, he can surrender, you give him endless food, and the people can also cause famine.
This Shenwu Dynasty has been three hundred years old, and the festering place is as many as a cow's hair, and it can only be taken step by step.
"Let my husband see the joke."
"I immediately asked Dali Temple to investigate the Mi family!"
When Xiao Qinghe heard the child, he hurriedly summoned the Longevity Buddha to calm his anger.
The Buddha of Longevity is nothing remarkable in attacking, but it has a unique way of restraining anger and maintaining health.
"How can it be a joke?"
"The lady has just ascended the throne, and it is normal to not know the methods of these rats."
"Let the husband give you a breath."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
He can understand the thoughts of these corrupt officials, why does the royal family enjoy fine clothes and fine food, and the officials should be honest and self-controlled, isn't that a joke?
The royal family enjoys the glory and wealth, and they will also use their authority to cash in on the wealth.
But the empress is his wife, so she naturally has to stand in the position of the royal family and teach these house slaves a lesson.
"Lord Wang, spare your life."
Mi Qingtian kowtowed again and again, and his head was bleeding, but it was useless.
"How much grain is there in this warehouse? Truthfully recruited. ”
The Jade Decree of the Immortal World - Words and Laws!
Chu Qianqiu volleyed a little, and Mi Qingtian's body began to reply uncontrollably:
"Return, if you go back to the prince, there are still three million stones."
There were eight million stones of grain on the books of the Tai warehouse, which was Xiao Qinghe's confidence to maintain the stability of Yongzhou, but now when he heard that it was actually only three million stones, he hurriedly took a deep breath and kept calm.
"You're greedy for five million stones?"
"That's too little."
"When Fengzhou was in disaster relief, four million stone accounts were written off."
Mi Qingtian was only in the Innate Extreme Realm, and he couldn't resist Chu Qianqiu's will at all, so he could answer whatever he asked.
This is also why the rule of officials in Great Xia will be better, because the Dragon Emperor has mastered the "Jade Decree of the Immortal World", and can order some of his subordinates to report the situation directly.
"The nominal grain payment for disaster relief by the imperial court is 10 million stones, and you have written off 40% of the account, which is really a bit of a means."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
He is full of minions in Fengzhou, Li Mingde rules the civilian officials, General Dou controls the army, and the King Kong Temple controls the thoughts, the trinity, and no one reports this corruption incident.
Could it be that Li Mingde is in the same league with them?
Unlikely, Li Mingde is not a fool, he has greater ambitions.
Four million stone rice was a lot of money, but it was not enough to make him betray Chu Qianqiu.
"Dog minion, where did all that food go?"
Xiao Qinghe asked through gritted teeth.
"It's all sold."
"Since the famine of the year before last, all forces have been stockpiling grain, including ......"
Mi Qingtian's face was a little desperate, and Chu Qianqiu controlled him and asked him to say what was in his heart sentence by sentence.
"Including King Jing, right?"
Chu Qianqiu understood that all forces were buying grain, but the rise in grain prices was not very serious, because someone was selling grain, and the person who sold grain was Taicang Ling.
"Yes......"
"The slave didn't know it was King Jing at the time, Your Majesty spared his life."
Mi Qingtian wanted to explain a few more sentences, but Chu Qianqiu snorted coldly again:
"Don't talk nonsense."
"If this king doesn't come this time, how are you going to write off the account?"
"Recently, the weather has been high and cool, which is more suitable for arson."
Mi Qingtian originally concealed this, but the cultivation of the two sides was very different, and the matter of their preparation for the fire dragon burning warehouse was shaken out at once.
"The minions are prepared to wait until all the new grain is in the account, and then set fire to the old grain."
You're really self-taught.
Chu Qianqiu had to be convinced, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, the person who managed the granary had the same idea.
"Wait a minute, this king remembers that the granary is heavily guarded by warriors of the ice and water exercises."
"What are you going to do?"
Chu Qianqiu continued to ask curiously.
"When the time comes, the villain will prepare drugs, let them drink in the granary, and send them to see the Buddha."
Mi Qingtian's mouth was a little bitter, he wanted to kill himself and take these secrets away, but he couldn't even do this power.
After Chu Qianqiu finished asking, he looked at his wife, lest she be angry.
"Dog minion, what point is the royal family sorry for you?"
"Why are you so dissatisfied?"
Although Xiao Qinghe could understand corruption, he didn't expect that his house slave would become an official thief, and he couldn't find an excuse if he wanted to, so he was naturally angry.
"Your Majesty, the Mi family is also one of the eight imperial merchants, but they can only manage a little imperial village, and their lives are even poor."
"There's nothing we can do."
Mi Qingtian gritted his teeth and pleaded bitterly.
The Eight Imperial Merchants, the Tang family engaged in arms, the Fan family engaged in weapons, the Chai family engaged in coal, the Qian family managed salt, the Hai family managed Qianzhuang, the Bei family engaged in porcelain, and the tea family engaged in tea.
After careful calculation, the Mi family is farming, but the rate of return is the bottom of the eight imperial merchants.
"Clever words!"
"Take it down! I don't want to see him again. ”
Xiao Qinghe has regained his composure, no matter how the Mi family justifies, what awaits them will be Wang Fa's disposal.
If a domestic slave commits a crime, the crime is increased by one degree.
"Don't be angry, lady, just a little food."
"My husband can help you out."
Chu Qianqiu hugged Xiao Qinghe and said with a chuckle.
"Husband, I'm not angry."
Xiao Qinghe said angrily, which made Chu Qianqiu feel a little cute.
When the lady is angry, she is also very cute.
"It's just that Prime Minister Niu Seng has been saying that he wants to ban the eight imperial merchants and replace them with the children of the Han family as much as possible, instead of ruling the world as a house slave."
"I don't want to agree to him, because domestic slaves are better disposed of, and they are more obedient to the royal family."
"But these house slaves have gone too far, and they have reached out like this."
Xiao Qinghe understood the political position of the prime minister of Niu Monk, promoted the children of the poor family, and tended to select talents through the imperial examination, but for the royal family, the house slave was more secure and more willing to obey the command.
Therefore, the Xiao family's royal family let go of part of their power to a limited extent, ceding it to the children of the poor family and the imperial examination scholars, and at the same time using the eight imperial merchants to control the money and grain to ensure their strong control.
Now the Mi family case, once exposed, will be a shocking case, and the nine million stone grain just mentioned is only a small amount.
If you check all the granaries in the world, what a terrifying number.
The food on the books of the Shenwu Dynasty is sufficient, but in reality?
Only God knows.
Even Xiao Qinghe was suddenly a little scared, and wanted to stab it down, and found that the granaries arranged by the imperial court in various places were empty, so how should the next famine be over?
Prime Minister Niu's position of asking for the children of the Han family to be replaced by the children of the imperial merchants will be even firmer.
"House slaves, scholars, scholars, whichever is easy to use, use whichever is useful."
"The lady can take turns first."
"As for the management of the warehouse, this way of keeping accounts also has to be changed."
Chu Qianqiu comforted Her Majesty while hugging her, and at the same time put back the grain just now.
The quality of these official grains is very poor, much worse than that of the Chu family.
There was only 3 million stone of grain left, and if you take another 500,000 stone yourself, you will fall below the cordon of Shangjing.
"Well, I listened to my husband and discussed the rotation with Prime Minister Niu Monk."
Xiao Qinghe took a deep breath and gradually regained his composure.
"Then I'll go first."
"Where is my husband going?"
"Go to Jiangzhou, go to Yuzhou, and ask for food."
Chu Qianqiu replied with a smile.
He just wanted to decorate the food, and it was so difficult.
