Chapter 102: Why the Hell, Is the Money Gone?
The officials of the DPRK and China were silent.
Then several people came forward.
It is the full name on Ye Yu's booklet.
"Your Highness, we have indeed done these things."
These ministers had serious faces, and they all stood up openly.
Ye Yu nodded and looked at these people with some appreciation.
The big husband can bend and stretch, and he is upright.
Now that the matter has been spoken, no matter how much you hide and deny it, it will be useless.
It's better to admit it generously.
"Good, I appreciate you."
"Zhao Wanjin, I didn't notify you, so I directly arrested the squire who managed the treasury under your command and apologized to you."
Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "But now you need money, Zhang Jian, just replace him as the squire who manages the treasury, right?" ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to apologize, in fact, the minister also has some questions."
"Actually, before the war, it seems that there was still a lot of surplus in the treasury."
Zhao Wanjin nodded and spoke slowly, "But for a period of time after the prince came back, the money in the treasury suddenly decreased by half. ”
"Could it be that I gathered the craftsmen and the money I spent?"
Ye Yu had some doubts on his face.
He found out that the treasury had no money before he thought of looking for corrupt officials to scrape, but judging from the book, these few officials are petty greedy, and they will not touch the foundation of the treasury together.
"Your Highness, recruiting artisans and warlocks is all small money."
"However, there is no clear record of that passage in the squire's hand."
Zhao Wanjin explained slowly, but he didn't continue at this point.
"You can come to my study to talk about this later."
Ye Yu felt that the matter was a bit big, and there were many doubts, so he couldn't say it here.
At the same time, the deserted city.
Ye Shen received a letter from the capital.
"It seems that he has found out, and he has to be careful in his work, so that those people are careful and don't show their feet."
He frowned slightly, he didn't expect his brother Wang to find out this!
"Brother Wang, how is it?"
The princes who were demoted together saw Ye Shen's face and asked with concern.
When he was sent to the deserted city, Ye Shen had already united with his mother to make preparations for the future.
Ye Yu, you must get it down!
As long as you have a breath left, you can't let go of any opportunity!
"It's okay, you just have to do what I arranged."
Ye Shen was simply perfunctory, and let the younger brothers leave temporarily.
"Your Highness, what news has come from the capital?"
It didn't take long for General Weiyuan to be called by Ye Shen.
"That money, it seems, has been discovered."
Ye Shen said, "But he didn't seem to have found anything along the money." At this opportunity, we must be prepared to hide that money a little deeper. ”
"Niangniang is still being monitored by Ye Yu, I'm afraid, we can only act on our own."
General Weiyuan nodded and said, "This matter, my subordinates will arrange it." ”
"Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, Ye Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Ye Shen and these people were demoted to commoners, but they were still preparing to "rebel".
At this time, Zhao Wanjin and Zhou Hao had already come to Ye Yu's study, intending to discuss the disappeared money in the treasury.
"Your Highness, if it weren't for the disaster relief for Xishan Prefecture before, the minister wouldn't have discovered this problem."
After the eunuch and palace maid withdrew and closed the door, Zhao Wanjin spoke directly, "From the position where the minister can see it to the present, at least forty million taels of silver have been lost in the middle. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yu frowned, forty million taels of silver, which is a lot more than the money that has been found out in the entire capital for several years of corruption!
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Ye Yu's eyebrows tightened more and more, "This money must be recovered!" ”
He thought that he had recruited warlocks and craftsmen by himself, and he had no money because of his research and development.
"After those chapters are handled, there are still some ministers' internal affairs."
Zhao Wanjin was a little aggrieved, "The minister wanted to report the matter in front of him first." ”
"It's me who's in a hurry."
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, there was no such sudden situation in the layout in his heart.
Zhao Wanjin and Zhou Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the account book of the treasury was placed in front of Ye Yu.
"How can there be two copies?"
Ye Yu looked at the two account books with exactly the same name and looked up at Zhao Wanjin.
"This was sent by Zhang Jian last night."
Zhao Wanjin explained, "After the squire who managed the treasury was arrested by His Royal Highness, Zhang Jian found the account book in advance and wanted to learn it in order to adapt in advance. That's how I found this yin and yang account. ”
These are all things that were not said in the court.
Under the yin and yang accounts, many accounts are clear.
Of course, most of them had already been figured out by the "indigenous guards" under Ye Yu.
For the rest of the part, the squire also said most of it.
However, there are still some expenditures that are not clear.
"Here starts 600,000 taels a month, and what's going on with this 800,000 taels?"
Ye Yu pointed to the few expenditures that were only available in the real ledger, "In this ledger, there is no mention. ”
"It's ...... The expenses of several princes. ”
Zhao Wanjin found the source against the fake ledger.
In the fake ledger, these expenditures, only tens of thousands of taels, are written as the prince's expenses.
Some are banquets in restaurants, and some are outings......
The reasons are endless.
"This money has been figured out, it is these good brothers of mine who have been secretly taking more money since before."
Ye Yu nodded, "Next is ......"
He saw that there were traces of tearing off in the real ledger.
This is what Zhao Wanjin said, the unclear part.
The records before and after are very clear, so it can be known that there are 40 million taels missing in the middle.
"When Zhang Jian gave it to you, was the account book like this?"
"It was because of such a problem in the account book that Zhang Jian came to the minister."
Zhao Wanjin nodded.
He felt that Zhang Jian was recommended by himself, and he would be reused by His Royal Highness the Prince in the future.
Nothing like this would ever be done.
"Let Zhang Jian come over too, I have something to ask."
Ye Yu ordered, seeing Zhao Wanjin's expression, he added, "Just ask about some information, who gave him the account book, and the situation before and after he entered and exited." ”
He had a vague sense that there was a huge conspiracy in it.
From the ledger, he saw that he had only spent more than four million taels to recruit warlocks and craftsmen.
Even counting the venue, it will kill six million taels.
What can you do with 40 million taels......
Ye Yu didn't dare to imagine.
If this money flows out of the Southern Dynasty and goes to the hands of the Jia Dynasty, it will be even more terrifying.
Ye Lie has worked hard for so long in order to reduce the feudal domain and consolidate the world.
After a while, Zhang Jian was summoned to the study.
"See His Royal Highness."
"Presumably, His Royal Highness the Prince summoned him for the sake of the account book."
Zhang Jian spoke very respectfully.
He is a careful person, and after discovering that there is a problem with the account book, he immediately recalled the person who gave him the account book and the situation before and after entering and exiting.
And in the early days of this day, Ye Yu showed concern about this matter, and also asked her to investigate.
It's just that so far, he hasn't investigated much.
"Well, you talk about it first."
Ye Yu nodded.
