Chapter 683 Complaint
The grain restructuring is not an overnight effort, and the water in it is deeper than the East China Sea.
The Great Sui inherited the Juntian system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the system was good, but when it came to the bottom, it was broken.
In fact, the introduction of each system is in line with the current interests of the country and the interests of the people, but it is not in line with the interests of local forces, so it has caused a conflict between the interests of the two types and made the policy change its flavor below.
There is also an interesting phenomenon, that is, as soon as the new deal is launched, there will inevitably be a new atmosphere in a short time, but after a long time, it will rot.
Why? As soon as the new policy was suddenly issued, they were caught off guard, and they had no time to react, so they could only do it honestly, but as the days went by, they thought of a way to deal with it, so as to compete with the country for profit.
This phenomenon, which is almost unavoidable, will continue to reincarnate.
That's why there have been frequent major reforms in history, but few have been successful, because reforms require centralized emperors, and emperors who often cause problems in the country are not good in themselves.
Cui Zhongfang passed away, and Cui Mintao was robbed of love without accident, because the country needed him.
The functions and powers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are now very large, as if they were the first of the six ministries, and all departments must cooperate with the Ministry of Civil Affairs in implementing new policies.
In September, 15 inspection envoys all reported and delivered to Luoyang.
Among them, there was a big case, this year's grain storage in the Jingshi Guangtong Warehouse did not match the preparation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with a total difference of 3.5 million stones, and in the past five years, the difference was 17 million stones.
In other words, the grain in Guangtong Warehouse was greedy.
So who is the Gyeonggi Provincial Inspector? Dr. Taichang, Yang Yong's East Palace Bachelor Chu Liang.
"The cangshou of Guangtongcang has always come from the clan," Yang Xiu said at the court meeting: "The prison guards steal and dig their own graves, and they should be sentenced heavily." ”
Cai Wang Yang Zhiji's face is as ugly as it is, because the person in charge of Guangtong Cang is his younger brother Kaifeng County Prince, Yang Zhiming.
The largest granary in Guanzhong naturally has to use reliable people, and since the founding of the country, the person in charge of this position has no foreign surname.
Chu Liang's side, there is a report, Yang Zhiming drove him out and did not let him continue to investigate, in other words, the greater corruption has not been exposed.
Yang Hao, who stayed in Beijing, naturally didn't want to touch his own people, so Chu Liang's request for help was not taken seriously.
Chu Liang had suffered losses before, and he didn't dare to dig deeper, but as a result, his young and vigorous, twenty-three-year-old son Chu Suiliang sued Yang Hao and Yang Zhiming with a piece of paper.
Today, the matter has been laid out at the court meeting.
"What year is Chu Suiliang?" Yang Ming looked at Yang Gongren.
Yang Gongren said: "Back to the prince, it is the eighth year of the great cause, and the jinshi you personally ordered originally served in Jingzhao Mansion. ”
"To do big things, you have to rely on young people, fledgling people are not afraid of tigers," Yang Ming said with a gloomy face: "Chu Liang is the Gyeonggi Provincial Supervision Envoy, this letter is sparse, but Chu Suiliang delivered it to Menxia Province, what?" Is Chu Liang afraid of provoking people? ”
Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "The supervision envoy is the fifth grade, and the founding county and county officials are all from the first grade, and it is reasonable that he does not dare to provoke Yang Zhiming." ”
"What are these words?" Yang Zhiji suddenly frowned and said: "Five grades sue one product, this is the following offense, not to mention that the complaint is still a small official from the eighth grade, slandering my Great Sui clan, according to the law, should be demoted to a concubine." ”
"Whether it is slanderous or not, it is still unclear," Yang Lun knew about the major affairs of grain politics, and the prince was particularly true, worried that Yang Zhiji would be stupid, so he hurriedly said: "Chu Liang is indeed suspected of dereliction of duty, which is understandable." ”
"Not bad!" Yang Ming said categorically: "Who recommended this person?" ”
Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and said, "Back to the prince, it was recommended by the minister." ”
"Didn't you say that this person was upright and fair?" Pei Yun raised his eyebrows and said: "It's only been a long time since I went to Jingshi, and I found out such a big thing, more than 10 million stone grains, whose head can bear this charge?" ”
Li Jiancheng is a popular prince, this kid is not a big official, and he has a lot of power to speak in the court, and his father and younger brother are awesome.
Li Shimin immediately helped his brother refute: "It is precisely because of his integrity that he dares to sue the county magistrate, Chu Suiliang is the son of Chu Liang, father and son are of the same heart, his performance is equivalent to Chu Liang's performance, if there is no real evidence, he will not have the courage to sue the province and slander?" Who dares to slander with more than 10 million stone of grain? ”
The corners of Pei Yun's mouth curled slightly, and he glanced at Yang Zhiji, who had an ugly face.
In today's palace, the guards around Yang Ming are the children of Hedong, not the hussars of the sect, and the old Pei family has long known that the prince is going to move Yang Zhiji.
What's more, Yang Xiu's appearance from the mountain already explains the problem.
"Father, the son thinks that this matter still needs to be strictly investigated, the grain policy is a major matter, and taking stock of the world's inventory is the primary task, this pass cannot be passed, how can the field system be implemented?" Yang Ruidao.
Yang Xuangan hurriedly helped: "Fifteen supervision envoys, going to various places, now there are three people who have reported the problem of false accounts in the local official warehouse, Guangtong warehouse is the largest warehouse in the world during the Kaihuang period, if this place does not understand, the implementation of the new policy, I am afraid it will become a joke." ”
The grain stored in Guangtong Warehouse mainly comes from Luoyang and is only supplied to Guanzhong, because there is a steady stream of new grain supplements, so the problem of account fraud has not been revealed.
This time, Yang Ming was ruthless and sent fifteen supervision envoys, the first task was to take inventory, and now the problem of Guangtong Warehouse was found out.
Supervision envoy, has the right to enforce the law, at first Yang Zhiming also expected to bribe Chu Liang to settle the matter, but Chu Liang knew in his heart that he had a big deal on his shoulders, and if he perfunctory to the court, the court would definitely kill him.
So this time in Guangtong Warehouse, I took more than 300 people to check the accounts, and after half a month, I found so many problems.
Yang Zhiming was stupid and didn't dare to let him check it again, because Chu Liang only found it within five years, and he worked in Guangtongcang for eleven years.
Yang Ming glanced around at the ministers with a gloomy face, and said:
"Pei Xingyan."
"The minister is here!" Pei Xingyan stood up and said.
Yang Ming said: "If you are asked to assist in the investigation, and people don't let you enter the warehouse, what will you do?" ”
"The ministers will ask His Royal Highness King Liang first," Pei Xingyan said.
Yang Ming said: "King Liang won't let you go?" ”
"The battalion of the right Xiaowei is in Fengyi County, if the prince asks the minister to go to assist in the investigation, the minister will go to the right Xiaowei to transfer troops," Pei Xingyan said.
He is now promoted to the general of the Right Xiaowei by virtue of his merits, and the general is his brother-in-law Su Lie, nominally Pei Xingyan can only transfer 2,000 troops, but if Yang Ming asks him to go, there is no tiger talisman to transfer 5,000 troops.
The garrison of Guangtongcang was 3,000 people.
Yang Ming nodded: "Then you go, help Chu Suiliang find out everything clearly, and return the innocence of the Kaifeng County Prince." ”
His words are yin and yang, and he is clearly talking the opposite.
Pei Xingyan was stunned: "Why Chu Suiliang?" ”
Yang Ming said: "Chu Liang has the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, but he does not dare to take responsibility, he does not take responsibility, he is removed from the post of supervision envoy, and his son Chu Suiliang takes over." ”
"Isn't it a little too young?" Yu Zhongwen was surprised.
Laihu'er said with a smile: "The hero is a young man, and it is the right time to use martial arts." ”
"Rong Gong is right," Yang Ming said: "The supervision envoy, the inspection on behalf of the king, regardless of background, regardless of age, who can do it, who can do it." ”
In this way, Chu Liang became the first supervisor to be dismissed, and after only four months in office, he was dismissed, and in turn he had to give his son a hand.
That night, Su Lie came to his father-in-law's house and saw Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan, who was about to go away.
"The prince is looking for me today," Su Lie said: "Brother went to Jingshi, we must find out the problem of Guangtongcang, but don't involve King Liang." ”
Pei Xingyan was stunned and looked at his father.
Pei Renji nodded: "King Liang is rich, he is a huge greedy person, I am afraid that the matter of Guangtongcang also has his share, the prince still values him, and he will definitely not move, if King Liang is involved in the accounts, dispose of it." ”
Pei Xingyan suddenly said: "I understand, Yang Zhiji's face today is not good-looking, if I do Yang Zhiming, this old boy is afraid that he will target me." ”
"It's to deal with him," Su Lie said: "To implement the new policy, when you are indomitable, any resistance to the prince must be pushed to show the determination of the imperial court, Yang Zhiming is on the cusp this time, more than 10 million stone grain, the head of the county prince can not withstand this crime." ”
More than 10 million, enough for Yang Guang to go north again.
"The amount is too big, and there are bound to be a lot of people involved, Yang Zhiming can't swallow so much alone," Pei Renji said: "I'm afraid it's going to King Cai, and in the clan, I'm afraid it's not going to be a storm." ”
He actually understood it very well in his heart, but he didn't say it to Su Lie.
Pei Ju had already told him that Pei Qiantong and Wei Kuangbo were already overthrowing Teng Wang Yang Lun and slowly taking control of the Right Reserve Mansion, which showed that the prince was not very satisfied with the older generation of the clan.
Although he is a son-in-law, there are some important things that he still can't talk about, if Pei Ju hadn't told him to prepare early, he would have been confused.
However, he still hinted at Su Lie, that is: In the clan, I am afraid that there will be a turmoil.
Pei Xingyan glanced at Su Lie and said, "You have heard of the rumors that have been circulating recently. ”
"I don't know," Su Lie shook his head.
Pei Xingyan was about to talk in detail, but was stopped by Pei Renji:
"Dingfang knows, but if you don't want to mention it, you don't say it again."
Pei Xingyan nodded: "My mother is pregnant, you came just in time, come with me to visit." ”
Su Lie was stunned in his heart, how old is he? Pregnant again? He didn't know about it, and it can be seen that his wife Pei Shu didn't know either.
He is a son-in-law, so naturally he wants to visit his mother-in-law:
"Shouldn't you tell Shu'er?"
"I've already asked someone to call her," Pei Renji said, "Then you just wait a little longer, and the couple will go together." ”
Su Lie hurriedly nodded.
Pei Renji's wife, born in Taiyuan Guo, is 48 years old this year and is now pregnant with her third child.
The eldest son Pei Xingyan, the eldest daughter Pei Shu, the third, not surprisingly, should be the martial arts temple giant who was called by Su Lie in history "I use soldiers, there is no one to teach in the world, and this son is also virtuous", Pei Xingjian. (End of chapter)
