The more Zhu Biao looked at it, the more angry he became, and went straight to the Jining Mansion, and asked someone to hurry up and invite the four officials of the Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department to come.

Jining to Jinan 400 miles, one day to send letters, adults on the road for two days, how to get there in four days.

But the adults walked for six days to arrive.

Zhu Biao sat in the lobby of Jining Mansion for six days.

Without saying a word, he reads a book.

The prefect of Jining has been trembling these days, and he doesn't know what Zhu Biao has found, which makes his face, which has always been known for his gentleness and benevolence.

He didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only stand next to him and accompany him.

Because Zhu Biao didn't tell him to sit from the moment he saw him.

If Zhu Biao didn't let him sit, he couldn't sit.

From morning to night, in addition to taking a half-hour break for dinner in the middle, he could only stand even when dealing with official business.

He has to stand when he hits someone else's board.

When he breaks a lawsuit and listens to a quarrel between his neighbors, he will also stand.

It's unprecedented.

The people didn't know what was going on with the only person sitting in the hall, and they were all curious.

The key is that the head of the line does not look like a big official.

Then this matter spread ten, ten to hundred, and a large group of people surrounded the door every day to watch the excitement.

When the four officials of the Envoy Department came, the prefect was about to cry: several adults are coming. If you don't come, I'll be dead.

Wang Ming, the political envoy of Zuobu, saluted Zhu Biao: "Your Highness." ”

Zhu Biao put down the book and nodded slightly: "Well, it's here." Several of the adults came on horseback or by car. ”

Several adults looked at each other and whispered, "Ride a horse." ”

Zhu Biao nodded slightly: "Well, those adults have discussed for a few days, and they have discussed how to explain to the main hall." ”

Wang Ming's cheeks were hot, and he was a little panicked: "Your Highness said it was funny." ”

Zhu Biao said: "Judging from the observation of the main hall in the past few days, the prefect is not a dumb official who has no way. Therefore, the main hall is puzzled. A few adults came to explain to the main hall. ”

Wang Ming: "Cao Yun is interrupted. Beiping and Xi'an are in short supply of military rations. King Yan and King Qin both sent military orders to urge, and Weichen couldn't help it. ”

The political envoy said: "This year is really more difficult than in previous years, and it is difficult to collect all taxes. ”

According to the inspector, he handed over: "Wechen will transfer all the prisoners in the prison to clear the channel." It's too much work. ”

Du Si: "Wechen has been busy transporting grain by sea to Dingliao and Beiping recently. I also want to dredge the river, but I can't do it, and there are not enough people. ”

Hehe, one or two of them made up the excuses perfectly.

Zhu Biao sneered in his heart and said, "So, you forced the farmers to go hungry to dredge the river." You have to drive the farmers to work, but at least let them have enough to eat. ”

The left and right envoys exchanged glances. In fact, it is a common practice to let peasant households pay for the military expenses of transporting grain. If you give the farmers a meal to eat, it is tantamount to doing the stupid thing of using up three eggs to make egg fried rice in order to eat a bowl of leftover rice.

Zhu Bai was in charge before, and the official tooth bureau helped solve most of it, so there was no need to go to the court to cry poor at all.

Zhu Bai was Li Shanchang in Zhang Luo before.

Although Li Shanchang himself was a little greedy, he was able to transport all the grain in the end.

Now both of them have made hands-off shopkeepers.

The north-west and north-east guards were annoyed.

But Wang Ming didn't dare to say this, so he could only say: "This year, the Yellow River burst its banks, and there is really not so much grain." ”

Zhu Biao said: "What about the grain in the official granary before? This year's harvest was not good, is last year's harvest not good either? ”

Wang Ming said: "There is very little grain in the official granary, and the taxes paid to the imperial court are not enough. ”

Zhu Biao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is the grain?" Where did it go? Have you checked the ledger? ”

Wang Ming: "The minister checked the account book, and according to the account book, it should be full." The minister was appointed only a few months ago, and I don't know what happened before. ”

The previous political envoys on the left and right were all killed by Lao Zhu as Hu Dang.

Many officials were added at that time.

Zhu Biao said coldly: "You were also a member of Shandong Chengxuan's political department before, how could you be completely unaware." ”

Wang Ming couldn't see that he was confused, knelt down and said, "I heard that Lord Hu transferred it to the Mongolians in the northeast." ”

Zhu Biao slapped the table: "In this case, why didn't you come to report earlier, you have to wait until now." ”

Wang Ming whispered: "The matter of the Yellow River bursting its embankment, the minister has just reported it. Your Highness may have come out, so I don't know. The matter of the official granary being emptied, the minister reported it to the household department when he took office, and urged it several times, and the household department said that he was trying to find a way. ”

That is to say, Tobe Shangshu did not act.

Since Lao Zhu killed a group of people, officials at all levels of the Sixth Department just don't work if they can.

Because there are many mistakes in doing more, and it's good not to do it.

Zhu Biao has strictly supervised these officials in the past few months, but it seems to have no effect.

After Lao Zhu and Zhu Bai didn't care about anything, they looked like everything was going as usual on the surface, but in fact, many things went wrong, but they were pressed hard and were not exposed for the time being.

If he doesn't come down and inspect it himself, he doesn't know when he will find out.

Zhu Biao was so angry that his eyes darkened for a while, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked, "Are all official granaries like this?" Have you counted all the granaries? ”

Wang Ming: "Checked." Seven or eight out of ten are empty, and the rest of the ministers do not dare to move, for fear that disaster relief will be needed this winter and next spring. ”

Summer food is confiscated, and winter is sure to be hungry.

I don't have any food in my hand, and I don't know the bottom of my heart.

Zhu Biao originally wanted to slap the buttocks of the two political envoys.

Hearing Wang Ming say this, it's not easy to do it.

Zhu Biao asked, "Does King Lu know?" ”

Wang Ming replied in a low voice: "I know." ”

Zhu Tan's fief was in Yanzhou. After he came to Yanzhou, he was humble and courteous, and was well received by the people and local officials.

Yanzhou does not rely on the sea or borders, so he does not need to go to war.

Before that, he was used to living a frugal life in Yingtian, and when he came to Shandong to accept banquets all day long, he became more and more extravagant without control.

Shandong is a beauty, and Zhu Tan is still not satisfied with more than a dozen concubines.

But no matter how absurd Zhu Tan is, Wang Ming can't talk much.

Zhu Biao pondered for a while before saying, "This hall will find a way to solve the problem of food." Don't let farmers go hungry to unblock canals anymore. That's what tyrants like Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Qin Shi Huang did. ”

Zhu Biao felt that meeting with Zhu Tan should be the most relaxed.

As a result, it is now known that Zhu Tan is getting more and more angry when he sees the magistrates enslaving the people and standing by.

Every vassal king should be like a beacon, otherwise it will cost the court and the people so much food for a year in vain.

For example, now, such a big thing has happened in Jining, how can Zhu Tan, who is only fifty miles away from here, sit still?!!

Wang Yang hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Cao Yun?" ”
