0923 magnificently divided the spoils
In the crowd, there are even small traders and vendors who are constantly shouting and drinking their products. It adds a bit of festivity to the noisy crowd! Needless to say, the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the road are all full of people by the windows! Even some temporary borrowed houses have been rented, just to join in the fun!
Faced with this situation, Xu Guogong was also very helpless, and had to temporarily deploy a group of soldiers to strengthen the protection on both sides of the road. The officers of Tianjin went out in a big way, looking for any unstable elements in the crowd.
A wharf has been emptied of the wharf in Nanjing, and huge sea ships are stuck on the wharf. This time it was none other than the navy to escort the silver!
For the sake of safety, Liu Haojia waved his pen and directly transferred two detachments over. This can't be said that he is too careful, after all, his ship is loaded with nearly two years of taxes from the Ming Dynasty, God knows how many people will pounce on him with red eyes, no matter how careful he is, he will not be too careful.
At this time, a large number of convoys and porters were gathering outside the barracks, and they were inspected by the Jinyi guards one by one. After the inspection was completed, the gate of the barracks finally opened, and a group of porters entered the camp under the supervision of the Jinyi guard.
After another quarter of an hour or so, the first carriage finally came out! As soon as the onlookers saw the four silver boxes on the carriage, they were in an uproar! Sure enough, now the barracks are full of gold and silver!
Because there was so much gold and silver to be transported, there were not enough wagons to collect at one time. So even the trolleys were tacitly apologetic. In this way, boxes of gold and silver were loaded onto various vehicles and transported out, and went straight down the unobstructed street to the docks!
When the first car arrived at the dock, the navy soldiers, who had been waiting there, immediately began to check the seals, and then instructed the porter to deliver the silver box to the ship. Whenever a ship is loaded with enough quantity, it will pull anchor and set sail and stop in the middle of the river.
When the convoy returned, all the people who watched the excitement saw the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages and carts appearing and then went back the way they came. So there were two continuous processions on this road, one was a convoy full of heavy silver boxes. The other is the convoy that returned empty-handed.
Then someone in the crowd said, "Mother! Did the convoy connect the barracks to the docks? How much gold and silver is this?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, thinking it was true! And in fact, this person is really right! If you look down from the sky now, you will see that the two teams are really connected to the barracks and the docks!
The whole shipment lasted almost a day, and it was not until late evening that all the silver was removed. Then the rest of the ships took all the brocade guards with them, joined the fleet in the center of the river, and slowly sailed downstream.
Seeing the boat go away, the people who watched the excitement were stunned! Such a bustle can be described as a rare time in a century! But the saddest and most disappointed are actually those porters! Because they have done a lot of work these days, and have seen a lot of excitement, they must have tens of thousands of taels of silver in their hands every day. That's enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives!
And although many people have been beaten for the work of Jinyiwei, they are in charge of the food and the money is enough, so what are they going to do? Anyway, they are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned men, and they won't die after two hits! It's just that there are no more good customers like this!
When the fleet arrived in Tianjin, it naturally caused another sensation! Everyone was shocked by the mountain of silver boxes piled up on the dock! Fortunately, Tianjin has been prepared for a long time, and a large number of carriages have been prepared to form a super large team to rush to Beijing. The team was escorted by the Wu Anjun throughout the journey, which was enough to ensure the safe arrival of the silver.
When the convoy arrived in Beijing, it was not surprising that it once again aroused the onlookers of all the people! Because the speed of the convoy was far from keeping up with the speed of news transmission, the people of Beijing had already learned the news of the convoy from someone from Tianjin.
At the same time, a large number of officials participated in the crowd of onlookers. However, they were not wearing official uniforms, they were all dressed in civilian clothes. And they're not here to see the excitement. They are here to determine whether the news is true or false!
Because according to the previous rules, all the confiscated property of the Jinyi Wei had to go into the inner warehouse. If it's really as rumored. This batch of silver is tens of millions of taels, and they must find a way to get this money out of the hands of the inner treasury!
Such a large sum of money is used to make up
Isn't it good to be an official? Wouldn't it be better to do more projects and make it easier for everyone to pump water from the middle? What is the use of entering the inner treasury in vain, and the emperor is cheap?
And there were some people in the crowd who had a notebook in their arms, and watched the direction of the carriage. As soon as the carriage entered the palace, they were about to impeach Liu Haojia. As for the various charges!
First of all, a greedy ink is a must! Whenever the brocade guards steal the property of the prisoners, they do not interfere in the money! So they absolutely don't believe that Liu Haojia will not move a penny!
Then there is the impeachment of the foundation and the wanton punishment, which causes a shock in the officialdom! What are these officials most afraid of? It's Jinyiwei's real investigation of officialdom! If that's the case, don't live anymore! After all, no one wants to survive in the Hongwu period! Now I have nothing to do to drink tea and listen to music, how pleasant! So the idea of Jinyiwei's revival must be beaten!
These people believe that all civil officials are of the same mind as them, and as soon as their recital is published, a large number of people will follow up to impeach Jinyiwei and completely stink, down, and kill them!
At this time, most of the soldiers were assembled outside the city, and only a small number of soldiers escorted the silver cart into the gate of the capital division. Not long after they marched, the convoy slowly split into two teams in the midst of all the attention and amazement!
The convoy of the brigade went directly into the household, and the household Shangshu, who had already received the news, stood in front of the door to greet him, and his smiling eyes were invisible! He stood at the door of the yamen and ordered his subordinates to count the number, check the seals, and then enter the warehouse according to the grade, and he was very busy!
There was another convoy that was much smaller, but it rushed directly to the palace, and it was Zhang Jia who stood at the gate of the palace to greet the convoy. Seeing this scene, many people who wanted to impeach Jinyiwei had to sigh and put out their thoughts! Because the bulk of the silver has been sent to the household department, the civil official group has received such a large amount of silver, and anyone who passes through it can get some benefits! If you go to impeach Jinyiwei at this time, you don't know what to do!
When the time comes to be counterattacked by the Jinyi Guard, I'm afraid no one will speak for me! So they could only watch Liu Haojia, who was riding on a horse, leisurely rushing to the palace.
