Where did Xu Heng's spoils come from? How could Li Daoan not know?

Even when he came back this time, many Annan officials begged him to get the property back from the Ganchao army.

"General, can you discuss the spoils of the Celestial Empire?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Heng's face suddenly became cold: "What, King Annan has any objection?"

Li Daoan thought for a moment and said very tactfully: "The property of Hu is naturally the spoils of the Celestial Empire, but many families are willing to defect to the Celestial Empire..."

"Enough!"

Before Li Daoan finished speaking, Xu Heng shouted, his face also felt gloomy.

"King Annan, don't be ungrateful!"

This sentence made Li Daoan feel nervous and he never dared to add anything.

After all, if property is lost, it will be lost. If Xu Heng is angry, the consequences will be too serious.

Two days later, Gan Chao's army transported away the spoils and returned them to Shenglong City.

After leaving, the Ganchao army divided into two groups. Under the command of Cao Wenkai, they retreated to Zhennan Pass to prepare to quell the Ma Yuan Rebellion.

On the other side, the main force led by Xu Heng retreated to several coastal counties and purchased a large amount of grain.

A few days later, batches of grain and treasure set out north under the escort of naval officers and soldiers.

He Yuansheng also learned that a large amount of grain had been loaded on the north, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.

In this way, the work-for-relief can be implemented smoothly. Within half a year, the situation in Jiangbei will be completely stabilized.

In Henan, Luoyang, in the governor's yamen, Zhang Huaizheng asked Qin Yi: "How did you do the work-for-relief work?"

"Sir, more than 100,000 refugees near Luoyang have organized themselves and are reclaiming wasteland and building water conservancy!"

Qin Yi responded, paused, and changed his tone: "But there is not much food in the Luoyang treasury."

"It doesn't matter. In half a month, the court will allocate 200,000 grain from Dan!"

This is mentioned in the government decree, so Zhang Huai naturally would not worry.

"But several provinces in Jiangbei are using labor for relief. Where did the imperial court get so much food?"

Qin Yi was a little worried because labor-for-relief is not about serving labor, and the government had to pay remuneration.

Because of the war, the people in Jiangbei did not have any stock at home, so this reward was enough food to eat.

"The court has its own plans, we don't have to worry!"

If he is not in his position and does not plan his own affairs, Zhang Huaique doesn't care where the food comes from the court. He just needs to follow the government orders and implement it.

"But what if the court can't take out the food?"

Qin Yi carefully reminded that because more than 100,000 people worked hard for a month and could not get food, there would definitely be a big mess.

"Changning Marquis is a person who can make plans and move afterwards. He will not joke about such things."

He paused and said seriously: "Instead of worrying about whether the court can take out the food, it is better to do your own thing."

Zhang Huai's words reminded Qin Yi and immediately spoke: "Don't worry, Governor, as long as the court's food is in place, there will be no problem with the matter of labor-for-relief."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Huai asked back, and then said meaningfully: "In recent times, some people have been making trouble, and even added rice bran to the food eaten by the people."

"How did you know about this?"

Qin Yi's face changed a little.

"I am the governor of Henan, what can I hide from me?"

Work-for-relief naturally requires food, so the government will take care of two meals for those who are involved in the work.

Because of the large amount of labor, these two meals are both dry goods and refined food.

But recently, Zhang Huai discovered something abnormal, that is, a large amount of rice bran was added to the food consumed by the people, so he was naturally very annoyed.

After all, the court attaches great importance to this matter and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

"What should I do with the adults?"

Qin Yi's tone was a bit careful, because although he was not involved in this matter, he understood the inside story.

But the officials are greedy and he doesn't want to pursue it too much, otherwise no one will do anything.

"If you convey the meaning of the original comfort, it will be enough to do this. If there are still people who dare to reach out after the food of the court, don't blame me for not being missed with the old love."

Zhang Huai has been an official for many years and naturally understands the situation in the officialdom, so he has no intention of pursuing it.

After all, he still has to rely on these officials to do things. If he is too harsh and fails to achieve the goal of using work for relief, it will be more than worth the cost.

"The official understands and will definitely warn them!"

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, because the officials in Luoyang were all his people, so he naturally wanted to protect one or two.

On the same day, Qin Yi summoned his subordinate officials and warned them.

But officials did not take Qin Yi's warning seriously.

Because most officials don’t cry when they see the coffin, since Zhang Huai has not pursued them, they are not afraid.

So half a month later, the food from the court arrived in Henan and they continued to do it.

Some people even replaced all the food that should be distributed to the people with rice bran to make huge profits.

This is also the grain from Annan. It has just been shipped to the market and will not alleviate the grain shortage in Jiangbei in a short period of time.

Therefore, the extremely high grain prices have made many people jealous and want to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

However, the officials' actions did not cause a big mess, because although rice bran is difficult to swallow, it can be eaten with fullness.

In ancient times, as long as the people were not starved to death, they would not resist and obeyed the arrangements of the government.

But this situation made Zhang Huai extremely angry and said with murderous intent: "There are really people who are not afraid of death and turn a blind eye to my guard's warning."

"Governor, the situation is still very stable..."

Qin Yi wanted to persuade him because Zhang Huai-ruo pursued him, many of his confidants would be questioned.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Huai interrupted him: "If the situation is in chaos, I'm afraid that your and my head will move!"

After speaking, he ordered and began to arrest people according to the evidence obtained by the governor's yamen.

In just three days, more than a dozen officials and seventy or eighty minor officials were arrested near Luoyang.

After another seven or eight days, corrupt officials from other places were also arrested by the governor's yamen.

Even the prefect of Zhengzhou Wen Kai was ordered to be arrested by Zhang Huai, which shocked the Henan officialdom.

Because the prefect of Zhengzhou Wen Kai was a confidant promoted by Zhang Huai, even he was questioned, how could others not be shocked?

"Governor, Prefect Wen, but your confidant, if you are just corrupt, you will be locked and imprisoned, which may be disappointing!"

Qin Yi wanted to persuade him, but his tone was very careful.

"Hanxin, do you know that all the 30,000 Dan food assigned to Zhengzhou was embezzled by him."

He paused and continued to speak: "More importantly, it is not good for him to implement the new policy. He has not checked the population for nearly two months. If the land is not dealt with, I am afraid that the court will dealt with me if I want to deal with it."

After speaking, I picked up my pen and wrote the memorial.

After writing it, a servant called: "Take the memorial book of the Pufu to Nanjing."

"promise!"

The officer took over the memorial book and turned around and left.

"grown ups!"

Because he was close, Qin Yi was a little shocked when he saw the content of the memorial.

"Stop talking, it depends on how the court handles it!" Zhang Huai said coldly.

The memorial just now was asking the court to deal with the prefect of Kaifeng Wen Kai and apologize.

After all, the prefect is a fifth-rank official. As the governor, Zhang Huai can take him down in an emergency, but has no right to deal with it.

If it weren't for the current Henan Province, the corruption trend was serious and Zhang Huai was worried that it would have been worse and worse, so he would not have done so.

After all, it was a prefect who took down a prefect of a large city like Zhengzhou, which was somewhat overstepping its authority.

The next day, Zhang Huai's report arrived at the cabinet.

After reading it, Zhao Wenyu came to see He Yuansheng with the memorial book.

"Mr. Marquis, this is a memorial from Henan Governor Zhang Huaishan!"

After saying that, he handed the memorial to He Yuansheng.

"Is there anything wrong?"

After reading it, He Yuansheng was a little puzzled because he was just dealing with a small prefect, and the cabinet would handle it according to the customs, and he could not ask for instructions at all.

As for Zhang Huai's apology, he didn't understand even more.
