can get Xia Yuanji's praise, Xie Jin's matter is really beautiful.

In a year of great calamity, at the juncture of tax reform, any disturbance will cause serious consequences.

If the news of the disappearance of grain spreads, the price of grain in the capital will skyrocket in an instant...... The treasure banknote that has just stabilized may not necessarily be good, and the collapse of the banknote will affect the prestige of the imperial court.

If this continues, the efforts of the past year and the hard work of countless people will all come to naught.

So sometimes, it's really not the courtiers who are willing to cover the lid, but after it is lifted, the consequences are too heavy for anyone to bear.

And this kind of thing, passed down layer by layer, is the worst for the people below.

Qing officials kill people, and direct subjects harm the people!

Although this is a very jerky logic, there is still a little bit of truth.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji once decisively allocated military rations and sent them to the disaster area in western Zhejiang by water. Due to their involvement in military affairs, they took the official document of the Ministry of War and successfully cleared the customs, without alarming too many people, and they successfully completed the task of disaster relief.

On the other side, they sent personnel to Jiangxi and Huguang to buy grain with money to make up for the shortfall...... After a lot of flickering and moving, it really plugged the hole.

Just when the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly Zhu Di issued an edict and called these two goods to the palace.

It just so happened that Xu Jingchang was also there, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then saluted Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Di said: "Xia Shangshu, Master Xie, you two are really good at it, it's only been a few days, you have grown hundreds of thousands of stone grains out of thin air, and with the two of you in the future, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food, right?" ”

The cold sweat of these two people flowed down, and they hurriedly knelt down, "The criminal minister didn't dare to hide it from His Majesty, but the criminal minister was really worried about the overall situation, so he had to do it, please let Your Majesty know it." ”

Zhu Di glared at the two of them angrily, "When I encountered something, I didn't want to tell me, so I thought about colluding with each other, hiding from the monarch's father, and saying that you were a traitor, which is not an exaggeration." It makes sense that I will put you in prison now. ”

The two of them trembled, Xia Yuanji had already been in prison once, and Xie Jin was even more prone to turn over, and when they were most panicked, they prostrated themselves and pleaded guilty, sweating through their clothes.

Xu Jingchang saw this, and finally had a kind heart, "Your Majesty, the grain stored in the warehouse is gone, and the minister knows a little about this matter, but the situation inside is complicated, and he doesn't dare to play it suddenly." ”

Zhu Di snorted, "Okay, you all have hands and eyes to the sky, everything is clearer than me, I am really deaf and blind, dazed and ignorant!" ”

Xu Jingchang's expression was solemn, and he only said: "The minister checked the official documents and found that this batch of grain was transferred by the inner court and sent to Liujiagang and given to the shipbuilding craftsmen. ”

At this moment, Zhu Di was stunned, going to the West was a matter he had decided, and shipbuilding was also requested by him, and Zheng He was there to supervise the work.

In the whole Liujiagang, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen and people, and people eat horses and chew, which is really not a small amount.

It's just that the question is, how dare they call in relief food?

Who gave them the guts?

Zhu Di was furious, but he heard Xu Jingchang say: "Your Majesty, the minister continued to investigate, and found that this batch of grain was not sent to Liujiagang. In fact, it has been transported to the disaster area in Zhejiang. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Xu Jingchang, what do you mean, before I made an order, someone took the initiative to transport food and go to disaster relief, this is really a good person! Kinder than my heart! It's so good, it's so good! ”

If it was just a mere food problem, Zhu Di would still be calm, but now he is playing tricks and treating the Son of Heaven as a three-year-old child, which is unbearable.

How can the sin of deceitful kings be forgiven!

"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?"

Xu Jingchang was not in a hurry, took out a copy of Xu Wenlan, the prefect of Hangzhou, and handed it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di took it and took a look, this piece of music actually wrote that the disaster situation in western Zhejiang was alleviated, the local gentry and giants enthusiastically donated money, the victims were fed, the people's livelihood was stable, and they praised the emperor and the emperor, and the court did not need disaster relief.

When Zhu Di saw this, his brows furrowed, and he felt that his IQ had been challenged.

Everyone knows about the flood in western Zhejiang, and he also sent officials to check in detail, and after getting the results, Zhu Di prepared food to help the victims.

As a result, the prefect of Hangzhou, who is now directly responsible, actually said that the disaster was not serious, and that it could be carried over by relying on the donations of the local gentry.

Isn't the food I have prepared in vain?

And the problem is that this grain is also gone...... All of this is weird everywhere, Zhu Di only feels that his temples are buzzing, and it hurts to jump and jump.

Grandma's, it's so weird.

He looked around, but still stared at Xu Jingchang, "You say, what's going on?" What do you know? ”

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, as if he was doing a trick, and took out a few copies of the notes one after another and handed them to Zhu Di.

Among them, the most important is the Song Shu of Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but at this time his accurate official position is the minister of the Qincha.

It turned out that after Zhu Di entered Yingtian, he once sent civil and military ministers to various places, received local yamen, controlled the nine sides, and spread the word to the Quartet, the Son of Heaven has changed, wait for everything to be as usual, don't panic.

Among them, the one who went to Fujian and Zhejiang to announce the decree was Li Zhigang, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who could probably be regarded as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but he did not have this title at the moment.

When there was a flood in western Zhejiang, Li Zhigang wrote a letter and suggested that the imperial court plant mulberry trees instead, which meant that silk made more money than grain, and the common people could save more and hide their wealth from the people, so that they would not be afraid of floods and droughts.

Seeing this, the previous thing is also put on...... Xu Jingchang came up with the idea of changing rice to mulberry, but his thinking was obviously different from Li Zhigang.

He hoped that the king of Han would come forward to run it, with merchants leading and the court supervising, and by the way, expand the scale of the industry and prepare for a large-scale trip to the West......

It's just that Li Zhigang could think of a similar idea, and Xu Jingchang didn't dare to underestimate this person, so he secretly sent someone to investigate.

It turned out that in the disaster-stricken areas, many large households had come forward to buy people's land at a price of less than 20 stone per acre.

The lowest of them is only fifteen stones.

You must know that the good land in western Zhejiang, in ordinary years, fifty stone and one acre can not be bought, and buying land at this time is almost the same as picking up money.

And these big households got the land, they naturally want to plant mulberry trees with higher incomes, and fools can grow food honestly, as for the price of grain, they don't care, anyway, whoever starves to death will not starve to death!

This kind of thing lasted from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty to its demise...... In the late Ming Dynasty, the land south of the Yangtze River, which had always been known as the land of fish and rice, had to rely on Huguang and Jiangxi to transport grain, otherwise it would not be able to maintain.

And this situation is also the reason for the rapid collapse of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing court and Li Dingguo and they fought around Huguang and other places, which is also the reason, after all, when it comes to changing the dynasty, raw silk can not fill the stomach, and the grain can do.

"By means of the flood, annexing the people's fields and acres is something that those black-hearted beasts can do. It's just that how do they do anything to the imperial court's disaster relief food, and what is going on? ”

Xu Jingchang said slowly: "This is to ask Zhejiang Bosi and Jiangnan Weaving Bureau." ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a while, these two yamen are both people in the palace, they belong to the henchmen of the Son of Heaven, and they hold the key to the internal house.

Could it be that they are also involved?

Examine!

Must be investigated!

Zhu Di directly called Ji Gang.

This brocade guard leader couldn't hold it back for a long time.

Jinyiwei, do you know?

The infamous North Town Fuji.

Several major cases in the Hongwu Dynasty have their voices.

Jinyi Wei is to the hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty, just like Zhang 800 is to Sun 100,000.

It is a terrifying existence that can stop crying in children.

However, because of Xu Jingchang's existence, he really saved many people, such as Sheng Yong, Ping'an and others, all of whom were alive, and Li Jinglong also turned over.

The founding honors of the country still have a trace of vitality unvented.

On the other hand, including people like Jingqing and Tie Xuan, Zhu Di did not kill them, but just confined them and let them do some hard labor with the young men recruited by Xu Jingchang.

No killing, just removal of the name.

For these people, it is 10,000 times more uncomfortable than a thousand cuts.

Zhu Di also thinks it's good.

Only Ji Gang of Jinyiwei was depressed and had internal injuries, and since His Majesty ascended the throne for a year, he has not had a chance to kill, and he is really in a hurry to die.

Isn't this an insult to the profession of Jinyiwei!

It's so easy to wait and look forward to, and finally here's the opportunity.

colluding up and down, annexing land, misappropriating grain, treating the law of the country as nothing, and being an inner court and an official...... It's such a big guts.

The flying fish suit hunts and flies, and the embroidered spring knife is out of the sheath.

In this Zhu Di's hand, the most powerful divine weapon finally delivered a fatal blow.

Li Zhigang, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was taken down, Xu Wenlan, the prefect of Hangzhou, was arrested, and then the Zhejiang City Bosi, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and even the eunuchs of the inner court did not escape.

"It's so ruthless, Ji Gang is simply a beast that eats people and doesn't spit out bones." Zhu Gaosui came to complain to Xu Jingchang, his subordinates were really good, and they actually investigated the interrogation scene, and came over at this time, and talked to Xu Jingchang and described it.

Among them, the worst is Xu Wenlan, the prefect of Hangzhou.

Ji Gang performed a great memory recovery technique on him.

First he pulled out ten of his nails, and then he shot at ten of his toes.

I also took the hot glue, applied it to my back, and then pulled it hard, and a piece of skin came down, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the screams were endless.

Within an hour, Xu Wenlan fell into a coma three times and woke up three times.

Zhu Gaosui shuddered when he mentioned it, in comparison, the fatigue tactics he and his second brother used against Uncle Seventeen were just a small scene of gentle drizzle.

"Xu Wenlan confessed?"

"Confessed, do you dare not confess? According to him, it was Li Zhigang who asked him to write and refused the imperial court to provide disaster relief food, in order to cut off the thoughts of the victims. But in fact, the grain was sent to the Liujiagang Shipyard, and then lent to Zhejiang in the name of the Municipal Shipping Division...... Although it is still this food, after such a hand, the people will not be able to get the relief food that does not cost money. If you want to survive, you must sell the family's field at a low price. ”

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
