"They'll be there in about ten days, and it won't have much impact."

Ming Lanying probably counted the things that she had copied from her family in the past few days, and Ming Langtao's prefect should not be able to let go.

Hebai and Shan Zhao are fast, the scope of arrest is getting farther and farther, and they can only come back in two or three days, with the same thousand soldiers, they raid their homes all the way down, and they also meet those who want to resist, and they are taken to the official hat by the two of them with a sword in public, and they are so frightened that they dare not squeak.

The corrupt officials who can escort back two or three carts of prison cages on a trip are still marching all the way through the streets, accepting the abuse of the people, stones, mud and sand, rotten eggs and rotten leaves, they are not worthy.

Although these corrupt officials do not commit crimes to death, they cannot escape the crimes of life, and they are dismissed and reduced to low-level slaves, and it is inevitable that they will serve hard labor for a lifetime, and their families will be involved.

When Ming Lanying thought of those ladies and ladies who were flattering to her a while ago, but in a few days because of her, she became a prisoner, and she still felt a little complicated in her heart.

Those ladies and ladies are good and bad, but the corrupt officials who eat the blood of the people are not innocent.

"Where do you want to use the things you copied from your home first?"

Ye Juelu pondered for a moment, "Strengthen the defense of the city wall." ”

The general of the neighboring country and the new emperor who contradicted him couldn't resist the pressure and was ready to send troops, Ye Jielu had 100,000 troops in his hands, plus the previous 50,000 private soldiers, he could hold the first wave of attacks, and when the reinforcements arrived, he could fight over, and directly defeat the opponent's city.

But because the city wall of the border fortress has not been reinforced for many years, it may not be able to withstand a few blows, and these corrupt officials are also greedy for the money used to build and strengthen the border city wall, which is what makes Ye Jielu the most angry.

Ming Lanying nodded, and Ye Juelu said again: "There is a problem with the military expenses and food in the barracks, and several money and grain officials in charge of the financial affairs of military supplies and grain have been cut by me, and the most important thing at the moment is to check the accounts, report to the emperor, and then allocate a part of the stolen money from the house to fill the shortfall." ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows obliquely, "You don't want me to check, do you?" ”

Ye Juelu acquiesced, he could trust Ming Lanying's ability, and the accounts of the military camp were not something that anyone could read, and if it leaked out, it would be a great threat to the military camp, so the first thing that came to mind was her.

"Those who are paid, three hundred taels."

Ye Juelu knew how to impress her.

He only needs to take out some of the private money he saved before, and anyway, all the money he earns now is for her to spend.

It only takes three taels of silver to find a new money and grain officer, but it takes time to check his identity and family history, and to rule out the suspicion that it is a meticulous work, which is not the best choice for the current situation that urgently needs to deal with the confused accounts of the military camp.

Minglanying is different, more efficient, and can also check for deficiencies and give solutions.

Ming Lanying just wanted to shake her head and refuse, but her movements suddenly stopped, although three hundred taels was only a small profit compared to her current savings, but there was always money to be made.

"But I'm not from the barracks, I'm just an outsider, what if I read such an important account book and show it to me, and someone else knows about it?"

"It won't be known." Ye Juelu replied firmly, "With me, the account books will pass through my hands, and others will not know." ”

Ming Lanying shrugged, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Ming Lanying has many years of audit experience accumulated in the top 100 companies in the previous life, and combined with this ancient overhead world to learn sophisticated accounting methods, unless it is an account that does not exist, she can find out the source.

Ye Jielu brought the confused accounts of the military camp back to the palace to deal with it, and the people in the military camp only felt that the prince had found a reliable person.

After more than two months of rectification, Ye Jielu cleaned up the unhealthy spirit and useless people in the barracks with thunderous means.

There are no-stirring sticks and oil bottles in the barracks, and it is much easier to do things, Ye Jielu took half of the stolen money from Ming Langtao to repair the military defense.

The confused accounts of the military camp are not difficult to calculate, those corrupt officials are only greedy for half of the military expenses and salaries, just make a summary statistics, Ming Lanying sighed while recording.

When the accounts were counted, the officials who had been demoted in the capital also arrived, and they signed in with Ye Jielu first, and took over the mess honestly with the previous documents.

In Kyushu, only Ming Langtao, the prefect, is still there, and when he came to Ming Lanying to report with the statistical account books of stolen money, he could say two sentences.

"I heard that a few people who haven't been arrested have packed up and fled, and they haven't even signed the resignation papers."

Ming Lanying looked at the amount of stolen money from the new house and shook her head in amazement, "No matter how much money you are greedy, you have to spend your life, and if you run away without signing the paperwork, will it have an impact?" ”

"That's not true, anyway, what they do will be forcibly removed from their official positions, and it doesn't matter if they sign it or not."

Ming Langtao inhaled the chilled grapes on the table in a storm, and said to Ming Lanying: "After those new officials took office, none of them could laugh out, and the government offices that took over were all copied cleanly, and not even the ingots and silver were left, it's funny to think about it, tsk!" ”

"One by one, they used to be pampered and pampered high-ranking officials in the capital, thinking that they were for the people, but they ended up standing on the wrong team with the wrong people, jumping off the cliff and demoting officials, and they were also relegated to the barren and bitter cold land of Biansai, and the ups and downs of life are ups and downs!"

Ming Lanying looked at the bare grape stems and skins left in the disc, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and a large plate of chilled grapes was eaten up in a few words.

"Haven't you ever eaten grapes?"

Ming Langtao wiped his hands, "The grapes in the palace are much sweeter than usual, and I didn't control it for a while, which made Sister Lanying laugh." ”

Ming Lanying waved her hand speechlessly and asked the maid to remove the empty plate, "If you change all the county orders in Kyushu in one go, will it have an impact on the people of Kyushu?" ”

Although the official position of the county official is not high, he has to manage a lot, and it takes a long time to precipitate to know the extent of his jurisdiction, and the people are used to it after watching it for a long time.

Although the position is small, but the responsibility is great, and now that so many county officials have been suddenly replaced in one go, I am afraid that the people will make changes.

Ming Langtao shook his head and said casually: "Sister Lanying thinks too much, according to the usual, she will not easily replace the county officials who have been doing it for many years, but there is no reason for them to let it go if they make a mistake, it just so happens that there are a number of degraded officials in the capital who can still be used, and it is better to change them in one breath than to keep these moths." ”

This shows that Lan Ying thinks it is also, "There is about to be a war, and the prefect must prepare grain and grass in advance!" ”

Ming Langtao cheekily stretched out his hand to ask for silver, "100,000 army of grain and grass money." ”

Ming Lanying spread her hands, "Of course, this silver comes from the stolen money, the emperor allows the misappropriation of the stolen money, but those corrupt officials are even greedy for military expenses and funeral pensions, and it is natural to allocate it from the stolen money." ”

Ming Langtao looked at her in disbelief, "Half of the stolen money was taken away by your man and used to build a military defense, and the stolen money from four states has not been brought back!" With the money in my hand now, I can't afford to support 100,000 people! ”

Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly, "Then I can't help it, Hebai and they should be on the way, you wait." ”

Ming Langtao now just wants to spread it on the ground decadently, "Why are you waiting, auntie!" It takes time to prepare grain and grass, and now you tell me that you need to prepare grain and grass for more than 100,000 people, how much money will it cost! I'm just a little prefect, why do I still want to be a grain and grass officer in the army! ”

Ming Lanying smiled maliciously: "I have a way, that is, to see if you dare." ”

Ming Langtao lazily raised his eyes to look at her, "What's the way?" ”

Ming Lanying stretched out her hand back, and the maid who pretended to be deaf and dumb behind her immediately held an abacus, Ming Lanying waved her hand and waved away all the maids in the side hall, and knocked on the abacus with one hand.

"The palace can lend you two million taels of silver, and you can repay it in three months, six months, one year, or two years or three years."

Ming Langtao immediately stood up, it is not difficult to borrow and repay, not to mention that he just has not enough funds on hand now, and he can make up for it when the stolen money obtained from the subsequent raid is in place.

"Borrow, pay it back in three months!"

The smile on Ming Lanying's bright face deepened, "Yes, but I have to pay back an extra 100,000 taels of silver every month." ”

"Huh?"

Ming Langtao looked at her in astonishment, it is legal to lend money here, there have been money lenders in all dynasties, and the emperor's relatives can also lend money to help others through difficulties if they have excess assets, and the profit money is also stipulated by the Ministry of Rites, but now few people will need to borrow money for working capital, so there are few money lenders.

Unexpectedly, the moneylender was bumped into by him, although the interest money collected by Ming Lanying was also reasonable, but what made him unbelievable was that they were all their own people and even wanted to collect the profit!

"Sister Lan Ying, we are our own people, and we are all silver for the grain and grass of the military camp, this profit?"

Ming Lanying said with a smile: "I know, then I'll give you another discount, the monthly profit is only 80,000 taels, the lowest price!" ”

Ming Langtao's eyes widened, and Ming Lanying said casually: "Don't be so surprised! There is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again, these two million silver is not a small amount, and the cash of the palace is not much, so it is also for the sake of your own face to lend you first. ”

If it was 200,000 taels, Ming Lanying wouldn't care about the interest, but the loan was 2 million taels, which was not a small amount, and she couldn't talk about feelings when she talked about money.

Two million taels, paid off in three months, and only 80,000 yuan of interest was collected every month, and Ming Lanying felt that she had lost.

Ming Langtao pointed at her tremblingly, and said bitterly: "It turns out that you are the profiteer who even wants to make money from the people next to him!" ”

Ming Lanying patted the table, "How can you speak!" What does it mean to make money from the people next to the pillow, I just charge a reasonable fee, isn't it normal for those who have money to pay? ”

"Do you want me to give this money for nothing? Two million taels of silver! All the savings in the past few years have been taken out, and hundreds of people in the palace have to eat, and I am not a good person! ”

Ming Langtao squinted and thought about Ming Lanying's words, "I didn't let you out in vain, I just waited for the next batch of stolen money to arrive and I could pay you back, why do you still collect profits?" We're just turning around and solving the urgent need! ”

"You think you just need to raise money to buy grain and grass and you'll be fine?" Ming Lanying snorted coldly, "The funeral and pension expenses, the wear and tear of weapons and equipment, the maintenance of soldiers and horses, the loss of medicinal materials, the maintenance and construction of the city wall, and the military salaries of more than 100,000 people, which one does not need silver, although the stolen money of those corrupt officials can make up for these shortfalls, but can you make up for it all in one go?" ”

No matter how fast the efficiency of Hebai and Shan Zhao is, it is impossible to bring back all the remaining settlements of the four prefecture and county commanders in one month, not to mention that some corrupt officials have heard the news and run away, and new officials have taken office one after another, which will also affect the speed of the raid.

The border area is vast and sparsely populated, and the remaining four prefectures are far away, and it takes seven or eight days for Hebai and his party to go back and forth quickly, plus to arrest the escaped officials, and bring back the escorted officials and stolen money, it takes about ten days to go back and forth.

The follow-up stolen money was not made up so quickly, the prefect and the government did not have so much silver to make up, and the silver money issued by the emperor did not arrive so quickly, but the neighboring countries did not know when they would carry out a surprise attack, and it was imperative to prepare in advance, and it was the best choice to borrow money from them.

Especially when Ming Lanying made a move, she was able to borrow 2 million silver, and half of the military expenses were contracted, and she only needed to pay it back slowly in three months.

It's only three months, and the stolen money will definitely be in place, and the emperor's reissued military expenses will also be in place.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the 80,000 profit gold is not so difficult to accept, and it is lower than the standard interest rate of the national service!

Ming Langtao thought about it and felt that three months was a bit long, "Sister Lanying, is it okay to divide it into two months?" ”

Ming Lanying nodded, "Yes!" 100,000 dollars per month. ”

Ming Langtao calculated, felt that it was enough, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay!" ”

Ming Lanying smiled and took out the deed she had just prepared, "Then sign and draw a pledge!" ”

Ming Langtao picked up the pen and signed the big characters, and only after pressing the handprint did he realize that something was wrong.

"That's not right! Why do you want me to figure out how to do it about military spending! Shouldn't this borrower be Ye Juelu! ”

Ming Lanying smiled and accepted the deed, "Isn't this your temporary manager of stolen money and a temporary money and grain official!" is still a powerful prefect, of course I will talk to you, don't worry, I lost, you earned. ”

Ming Langtao gasped, "The idea has hit the people around you!" ”

"Feelings and money are two different things, but I'm about to empty all the working capital of the palace."

It's just a small profit, but Ming Lanying is still in a good mood.

"The new official in Kyushu takes office, it takes time to get familiar with affairs, coupled with the impact of the border war, there may not be much income in the past two years, and there are still hundreds of people to support in the palace, I can't let the people in the palace drink the northwest wind!"

"And two million taels for two months, our palace has to greatly reduce expenses in the past two months, and it is only through frugality that we can exchange for 200,000 taels of profits, which is a big loss."

Ming Langtao was speechless, and when Ye Jielu came back, he heard that Langtao had borrowed a debt from her as a money and grain official and prefect, and his mood was a little complicated.

Ming Lanying is not a good person, there is not so much silver to burn casually, it is because the military expenses are important that she took out three-quarters of the working capital of the palace, otherwise she would be more willing to invest in the big restaurant of the shopkeeper Li to open a branch.

The corrupt officials were raided, the stolen money was confiscated, and they were secretly transported to the prefect's office in Ming Langtao, and they could not be used directly on the surface.

It was said to the outside world that the emperor's new military expenses and food had not yet arrived, and the neighboring countries were eyeing each other and were not safe, so the king of Yanbei paid for the military expenses to build the city wall out of his own pocket, and the people and more than 100,000 soldiers were moved.

He didn't take all the hearts of the people on himself, and he didn't forget to promote a good reputation for the emperor, so that the people and soldiers felt that the emperor valued every citizen.

Arresting corrupt officials, raiding homes, filling loopholes with stolen money, and buying the hearts of the people, Ye Jielu quickly gained a firm foothold in Biansai.
