Chapter 706 Guo Dan is wrong
Song Jingsheng walked on the Hejian and Daming road because he didn't want to go to Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which was Guo Dan's territory, but Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping chose Zhangde, Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng road.
They wanted to take a look at the situation in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and they were also very suspicious of this. From Guo Dan's mouth, disaster relief was like a joke.
Of course, they didn't make any statement, just observed secretly.
When I came to Weihui Mansion, it was true that there was no atmosphere of disaster, but I was more angry than before.
The grain shop was full of food, but no one went to buy it.
It's completely different from being in a disaster.
If they hadn't seen a large number of hired farmers knowing that there was not much silt left and rebuilding their homes, they wouldn't have believed that there had been floods here not long ago.
This is simply incredible.
However, they did not stay in Weihui and Kaifeng for more time. After all, they were going to deal with the civil unrest in Guide Mansion.
The situation is different if the cabinet minister takes action personally.
Daming Mansion and Xuzhou, next to Guide Mansion, were transporting food quickly and issued a death order, and they had to arrive at Guide Mansion before Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue.
They are not gods, and in fact, the Chinese gods cannot convince those hungry people with their tongues. It seems that only Indian gods have such great magic power in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
No matter what, the food must be in place first.
Otherwise, the subsequent work will not be able to be carried out.
At the same time, Guide Prefecture also promoted to the people that everyone should be calm and not be impatient. The court attached great importance to this matter and had sent two cabinet ministers, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, to come, and they would definitely solve the problem.
Regarding civil unrest, it is not mentioned at all, that is, the responsibility for this aspect will not be pursued.
The landlords quickly stopped when they saw the situation and no longer continued to incite the people.
Therefore, when Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping came to Guide Mansion, the people were no longer making trouble.
Having said that, if this is unsafe, they will not be allowed to enter Guide Mansion.
After all, he is a big leader.
The first thing Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping did when they entered Guide Mansion was to immediately order the grain was to take out and provide relief to the people, but based on the number of people each village received, the grain was distributed.
The purpose is to force the people to go home so that they cannot gather together.
After this decree, the people immediately dispersed.
Guide Prefecture Office.
"Sir, I'm really wronged!"
Chen Weien knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "It's all because Guo Dan used a bad move, which made Guide Mansion almost fall into a place of doom."
"Yeah?"
Wang Xijue treated him coldly and said, "What bad trick did Guo Dan use?"
Chen Weien immediately said: "The officials followed the disaster relief system of the court and ordered the increase in grain prices. At the same time, they hoped to borrow grain from those grain merchants and landlords to provide disaster relief. However, Guo Dan deliberately speculated on the price of grain in Kaifeng Prefecture, which led to the grain merchants in Guide Prefecture transporting a large amount of grain to Kaifeng Prefecture.
At the same time, Guo Dan secretly sent people to spread rumors in Guide Mansion, causing panic among the people. The officials ordered several orders to prohibit the delivery of food, but they were repeatedly banned. In order to calm the people's hearts, the officials came up with this inferior policy and asked the people to go to the rich to eat food first."
Song Jingsheng, who was standing by, immediately said: "Two sirs, you can also testify about this. Indeed, many grain merchants in Guide Prefecture transported grain to Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture these days, so the other side was immediately restored. At the same time, there were indeed many rumors in Guide Prefecture.
The officials believed that Guo Dan was indeed suspicious. If the disaster relief situation in Guide Prefecture was not as good as that in Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture, then he could use this to seek credit from His Majesty, and at the same time wanted the people to prove that he was better than all the officials."
Having said that, Song Jingsheng actually hated Chen Wei'en very much, but he had no choice. At that time, he insisted that Guo Dan had no experience in disaster relief at all. Seeing that such a big gap occurred, how could it end?
He must safeguard his own interests and maintain the authority of officials. In addition, Chen Wei'en insisted that Guo Dan did it, so he certainly chose to support Chen Wei'en.
What is the truth doesn't matter.
What matters is power and interests.
Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue frowned when they heard this, looking at each other with worry in their eyes.
They did not expect that the other party would actually put the blame on Guo Dan, who had returned to Beijing.
But they all understood that Chen Weien had to use his intention.
There have been too many incidents before. As long as Guo Dan is involved, the ministers will not distinguish or reason, and will just attack Guo Dan.
Are you a slut who is better than an adult? Are you still a slut?
"Yeah?"
Wang Xijue suddenly sneered.
Chen Wei'en said, "The officials dare not deceive the Lord."
"good!"
Wang Xijue nodded and said, "I just think you are right. Guo Dan speculated on high prices of grain and deliberately induced grain vendors in Guide Mansion to sell grain to Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture. But the problem is that the local people can afford this high-priced grain!
If the people of Guide Prefecture can also buy food at this price, then the food does not need to be sold to Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture."
Chen Wei'en's eyes turned and said, "Sir, Guo Danfu is comparable to the country. He has money. He hurts people with his original intention. The subordinates don't have so much money to fight him!"
Wang Jiaping snorted: "You are not as rich as Guo Dan, but there are a lot of reserved grains in the government every year. But I heard that in less than a day, the grain in the reserve warehouse will be consumed. I ask you, where is the grain in the reserve warehouse?"
"!"
Wang Xijue also asked: "As far as I know, Guo Dan raised the price of grain early in the morning, but at that time no grain merchants transported the grain to Kaifeng Prefecture. You ordered the victims to go to the rich family to eat grain, which led to the grain merchants transporting the grain to Kaifeng Prefecture, and eventually civil chaos occurred. In addition, there was also a flood, why did Kaifeng Prefecture not break the dam, but Guide Prefecture burst the dam."
"Secret official!"
Chen Wei'en immediately hesitated.
He really forced his slander and could not stand scrutiny. How could he hide it from Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, and even Song Jingsheng knew that he was deceiving it.
Wang Xijue suddenly slapped the table, "It's so outrageous. Now that things are now, you not only don't repent, but you also want to shirk responsibility, slander others, deceive others, hide behind them. Come on! Take Chen Weien down to our official."
"Sir, it's wronged! The official is wronged."
"grown ups."
Song Jingsheng also quickly stood up.
Wang Xijue glanced coldly and said, "Shilarious Minister Song, have you arranged all the food?"
Song Jingsheng was stunned and nodded, "I will make arrangements now."
After Song Jingsheng went out, Wang Jiaping sighed: "It seems that everyone knows now that as long as you push the blame to Guo Dan, no matter how big the mistake you make, you can avoid being punished."
Wang Xijue said: "But this situation must be stopped. If this continues, everyone will be fearless. This time we must not compromise on this."
In fact, the fact that he had just ordered Chen Weien to take down has already shown that he did not want to compromise this time.
Wang Jiaping asked, "I wonder what you plan to do?"
Wang Xijue sighed: "Disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, but the government has been repeatedly unsuccessful in disaster relief. Just like this time, the court will have to spend a greater price to provide disaster relief in the end. Although natural disasters cannot be stopped, at least this man-made disaster must be eliminated. In fact, the harm of man-made disasters is far greater than that of natural disasters."
He has been persuading Wanli that there have been many disasters in recent years and that the disaster relief system must be improved. He has always wanted to reform in this regard, and he has been studying the disaster situation.
But the problem is that he hopes to reduce taxes, so Wanli is reluctant to do so.
Wang Jiaping deeply agreed: "The disaster relief system formulated by our dynasty in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China is already in name only. If this continues, my Ming Dynasty will sooner or later be defeated by this disaster relief."
Wang Xijue said: "But the most urgent task is to never let Chen Wei'en's conspiracy succeed. We must report to Your Majesty immediately to explain the whole story. At the same time, we can commend Guo Dan in Kaifeng and Wei Hui's disaster relief, which can also explain the necessity of reform."
He knew that if the whole story was not explained quickly, the matter would become a party dispute, and once it evolved into a political struggle, the matter would become very complicated.
Wang Jiaping pondered for a moment and said, "The current situation in Zhangde Mansion is still not optimistic. The civil unrest has led to chaos in the areas that have not been affected. We can also use Guo Dan to help Guide Mansion recover."
If Guo Dan comes to help, it will actually indirectly admit Guo Dan's success.
Unfortunately it was too late.
Chen Wei'en had already submitted a memorial to the court, placing all the responsibility on Guo Dan, and at the same time wrote some secret letters to the ministers in the court.
Su Xu has studied the officialdom very thoroughly. He knew that Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue might not take care of Chen Wei'en, but to capture the thief, the main battlefield is in the court, not in Guide Mansion. As long as the court supports Chen Wei'en and puts pressure on the emperor, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping can do nothing.
Royal Racecourse.
Wanli sat in the office, staring at Shen Shixing expressionlessly, and asked, "What do you think of the Qing family?"
Shen Shi bowed and said, "I am guilty."
Wanli snorted angrily: "Guo Dan has returned from making great contributions. Not only did I not reward him, I was forced to put him under house arrest, but those people still refused to let him go. Now, I have become a difficult time."
He is not stupid. When he sees this memorial, he knows what tricks the other party is playing.
On the issue of Guo Dan, there is no right or wrong, no clear explanation, and there is no reason to say.
Shen Shixing immediately said: "Your Majesty, you must never retreat from this matter. If they succeed in this matter, the officials below can shirk to Guo Dan even if they make mistakes. Even if they fight for this life, they will not let them succeed."
He is so tired of getting along with him now!
It was him who proposed to put down Guo Dan in house arrest, mainly to take the overall situation into consideration and sacrifice Guo Dan's little glory to maintain the prestige of officials. This is worth it, but unexpectedly, the other party wanted to make a comeback and turn the black and white, and the situation became more complicated.
This is very excessive.
Shen Shixing is also unbearable.
Wanli was silent for a little while and suddenly sighed: "Actually, the Qing family is not at fault. The Qing family just wants to protect the face of officials. After all, if I govern the country, I still have to rely on officials to govern the country."
He was angry, but he agreed to Shen Shixing at that time because he knew the interests of it. Now this problem still exists.
He pointed out that it was difficult to get rid of the tiger because he was the leader of Guo Dan, and the prestige of the court would be severely damaged and would be detrimental to his rule. If he did not take the leader of Guo Dan, then Guo Dan would really become the target of public criticism and any dirty water would be poured on Guo Dan in the future.
Shen Shixing looked at Wanli and understood Wanli's helplessness and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Guo Dan's current status can never be just a businessman anymore."
Wanli opened his eyes.
This sentence is really a sharp end!
If we trace the root of the problem, the root of all the problems is that Guo Dan is just a businessman, which involves class issues. In fact, the Ming Dynasty opposed merchants as officials, but you also want to be an official!
If Guo Dan was an official, then these problems would not exist. Maybe there would be many officials who would support Guo Dan. The court could naturally reward meritoriously. It is appropriate for adults to have outstanding abilities. Otherwise, why is it me who ruled you, not you who ruled me?
But if you turn the tables on the other hand, everyone will be embarrassed.
You are better than me, but I rule you, and this logic doesn't make sense.
Chapter completed!
