Hearing this, Sun Chengdu hurriedly raised his head and looked at Guo An with an expectant face.

"Guo Changshi, can the villain really be exiled?"

"It's nature!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "But you have to explain clearly, how much ink are you greedy for, and who are your accomplices?"

In the end, His Royal Highness King Yan will also become a school inspection office in the mansion, specializing in strict investigation and other stewards.

If it is found that you dare to coax His Royal Highness King Yan, not only will your punishment be aggravated, but even your parents, wives and daughters will be implicated! ”

Sun Chengdu couldn't help but fall into silence.

Guo An's expression was solemn, and he said coldly: "Why, enjoying such a high salary from the Yan Palace, as well as the benefits that are envied by the officials of the Political Envoy Department and the Investigation Envoy Division, I still want to be greedy for the money of the Yan Palace."

Such an ungrateful, wolf-hearted person, you still want to cover up? ”

Sun Chengdu's face stiffened, and he hurriedly explained: "Guo Changshi misunderstood, and the villain is not sure, because the areas in charge of these caravan stewards are different, and they can't meet each other on weekdays."

Even if you meet it, you won't talk about those, at most compare with each other, who received how many goods and how good or bad? ”

Guo An said casually: "It's okay, there are always similarities between these stewards who want to be greedy for ink." Moreover, in the palm-sized place of Beiping Mansion, you can hear anything. ”

"For example, in Wanping County, we just need to go down and find a few villages and talk to those farmers.

What do you think these caravan stewards are doing down there, we can't ask? ”

Hearing this, Sun Chengdu's pupils shrank, and his psychological defense line collapsed directly.

Yes, among all the officials in Beiping Mansion, this Guo Changshi is the most outlier and the most loved and trusted by farmers.

But for these stewards, this Guo Changshi is also the most terrifying.

It's just that they didn't think of it.

Now, this Guo Changshi is no longer the magistrate of Wanping County, and even for most of the year, he is on the expedition with His Royal Highness King Yan, and he can even have time to go to the countryside to inspect.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, Guo Changshi, the villain confesses......"

Then, Sun Chengdu continued to say the names of several stewards.

Zhu Di, who listened, gritted his teeth, "There are so many dogs and things to covet our money and ruin our reputation!" ”

Guo An stared at Sun Chengdu and continued to ask in a deep voice: "When did you start to buy at a low price and sell this kind of greedy ink to the government at a high price?"

How much money has you been greedy for in the past two years? ”

Sun Chengdu replied slowly: "Back to Guo Changshi, the villain started from the purchase of cotton last year!" There are about 300 pieces of money that is so greedy for ink! ”

"Three hundred?"

Hearing this, everyone in the temple was shocked.

Immediately, there was another outrage.

"You dog thief, how much suffering and sweat do those farmers have to endure and sweat to grow cotton and weave cotton cloth, and you still want to suck their blood like those corrupt officials and corrupt officials?"

"Also, do the guys with you know about this?"

"Back to Guo Changshi, they know!"

"Got the money back?"

"Divided!"

"How much?"

"About twenty per person!"

"Hmph, a group of black-hearted thieves, black-hearted thieves......"

With Sun Chengdu's very 'honest' answer, Zhu Di's eyes turned red.

"Guo Qing, we're going to kill this thief!"

Sun Chengdu's face was suddenly full of horror, and he collapsed to the ground in fright.

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you cut them, you have to kill their entire clan, so it will bring more losses to Your Highness."

Moreover, this person was only greedy for so much money, and he didn't harm anyone's life.

Otherwise, exile others, let him make money for the government, and repay the losses of the government. ”

Zhu Di glared at Sun Chengdu fiercely, and said coldly: "In this way, according to what Guo Qing said."

raided his house and fined him twice as much as his money.

Register the evil register, and the three generations of his children and grandchildren are not allowed to enjoy any benefits of Yanwangfu! ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An, He Zhong and others hurriedly responded.

Immediately, Li Wang took a group of scribes and a group of guards from the Yanwang Mansion, and escorted Sun Chengdu and copied his house.

Since becoming the steward of the Yanwangfu caravan, Sun Chengdu's family house has been expanded once a year, and at the same time, in the past two years, he has also directly accepted two concubines.

Naturally, Sun Chengdu's family's expenses are also getting bigger and bigger year by year.

Even the children have two more.

In the past two years, Sun Chengdu's family has been the envy of the surrounding neighbors.

It's a pity that this time he was directly raided by Yan Wangfu, and even the house had to be repaid to Yan Wangfu.

Suddenly, the entire surrounding neighborhood was full of excitement and discussion.

It's just that these neighbors haven't discussed it clearly, but they heard it again that the guys who followed Sun Chengdu not far away were also raided.

Then.

Two more days later.

There were eight or nine caravan stewards under the Yanwang Mansion, plus the guys of the entire caravan, who were also raided.

That's when the news came out.

It was these caravan stewards who took the money of Yanwangfu to buy the goods of farmers in various states and counties at a low price, and then handed them over to Yanwangfu at the normal price.

not only harmed the people, but also greedy for the property of Moyan Palace.

Suddenly, the farmers of the entire Beiping Mansion began to scold Sun Chengdu's stewards day and night, and the eighteenth generation of ancestors also greeted them one by one.

Even when going to the thatched house, or when doing errands, you have to piggyback on a few words of greeting.

Sun Chengdu and other stewards, including the family members of those caravan guys, also began to be looked down upon every day.

In this regard, the remaining caravan stewards and men who have not found out the problem for the time being are also worried all day long.

And the scribes in the Yanwang Mansion, as well as the officials of the newly built inspection department, are still running around the villages of various states and counties all day long.

And so it went on for half a month.

This matter slowly came to an end.

Yanwang Palace, Carrier Palace.

A scribe of the Long History Division took out a notebook and reported respectfully.

"Your Royal Highness, this time it was found that Sun Chengdu, Qi Baoliang and other caravan stewards and men who were greedy for ink and oppressed farmers, a total of forty-three people, a total of more than 3,600 yuan of money and money."

"Hiss......"

In the hall, all the officials and generals couldn't help but take a cold breath, their faces full of surprise.

"Hmph, a few small caravan stewards have been greedy for so much money in just two years?

These are all the people's fat and ointment of their villagers! ”

On the throne, Zhu Di's face was gloomy.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, these thieves should peel the skin and grass! However, they had some use, so they confiscated his possessions, and fined him twice the amount of dirty money, and twenty rods.

and exile them to Goryeo, when they will pay off the money owed to our government, and then they can get out of the untouchables. ”

"Your Highness's mercy is an honor for these black-hearted thieves."

Hearing this, Zhu Fu and the officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they also wanted to cut Sun Chengdu, Qi Baoliang and others with a thousand knives, they were their own family members in the end.

And now, if they can save a life, they can't help but have a trace of joy in their hearts.

His Royal Highness King Yan is not as brutal as His Majesty, they are fortunate!

Zhu Di continued: "However, we will never allow such a black-hearted steward who oppresses and exploits farmers again.

In the future, there will also be school inspectors covertly monitoring.

In addition, in the same caravan, whoever dared to be greedy for money and oppress the people, including officials such as Er, was punished even more. ”

"Obey His Highness's orders!"

At this moment, a group of officials couldn't help but have a surge in their hearts, and Sun Chengdu, Qi Baoliang and others were slashed by a thousand knives.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

Soon, the officials dispersed.

Since Zhu Di never wanted to hide anything from the outside world, he was punished by the Yanwang Mansion in the morning.

After noon, everyone in the entire Beiping Mansion who should know knows it.

Day 2.

Those who shouldn't know, also know.

Of course, the people who are most happy are the people of Yanwangfu.

As for the officials of Beiping Mansion, they were all full of misery.

King Yan suddenly came like this, what way did these officials have to live?

Zhu Di just didn't know about this and wouldn't pay any attention to it.

……

It was a few days later.

The fleet of the Yanwangfu and Goryeo trade returned again.

"Weichen can still see His Highness!"

"How is Goryeo now?"

Zhu Di asked with a gentle face.

Shang Kezhou replied: "Returning to Your Highness, according to Weichen's observations, in these few times of trade, the goods and money that those Goryeo magnates can come up with seem to be much less. ”

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "What about this caravan?" ”

Shang Kezhou hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, this caravan needs more goods. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why is this?" ”

Shang Kezhou said: "Back to Your Highness, several Goryeo magnates have actually found gold and silver mines. ”

Zhu Di was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Did you really find gold and silver mines?" How much gold and silver can be extracted each year? ”

Shang Kezhou said: "Your Highness forgives the sin, this matter is only judged by the gold and silver they paid.

As for how big the gold and silver mines those Goryeo magnates found, and how much gold and silver they could calcine, Weichen couldn't find out. ”

"Be sure to find out!"

Zhu Di said.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Shang Kezhou hurriedly responded.

On the side, Guo An could only hurriedly dissuade: "Your Highness, don't worry. ”

"How can we not be in a hurry?"

Zhu Di had already narrowed his eyes anxiously, "If we don't have to go back to Beijing in a few days to meet our father, we will definitely personally lead the troops to Goryeo to capture the gold and silver mines!" ”

Shang Kezhou's face was shocked.

As for Guo An, he could only smile helplessly, "Your Highness is brave, with my Yan Wangfu soldiers, I will definitely be able to break through all the way and attack the gold and silver mines of Goryeo." ”

"It's nature."

Zhu Di looked confident.

Guo An said: "However, Weichen really doesn't know, the gold and silver mines don't know how far away from the Goryeo king's capital.

After His Royal Highness attacks me, how many soldiers of Yanwangfu will be damaged? How many soldiers do you need to hold on to the gold and silver mines?

Then, how much labor does His Highness need to mine calcined gold and silver mines? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked depressed again.

"Fuck it, in a barren country like Goryeo, there are gold and silver mines."

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the richer Goryeo is, the more beneficial it will be to my Yan Palace!"

Our Yan Wangfu only needs to transport some goods to them, and they can send the calcined gold and silver to my Yanwang Mansion ship.

With such a lucrative business, why does Your Highness need to use swords! ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Di nodded helplessly, "Listen to Guo Qing for the time being." ”

Guo An continued to ask: "Ke Zhou, what is the reaction of those Goryeo magnates to the chili peppers that were shipped to Goryeo last time?" ”
