Chapter 86 The transformation of rice into mulberry by the wealthy families

Xie Jin was really doing this beautifully for being praised by Xia Yuanji.

In the year of major disasters, any turbulence and disturbances will cause serious consequences during the tax reform.

If the loss of food spreads, the price of grain in the capital will surge in an instant... The treasure banknote that has just stabilized may not be like this. The collapse of the banknote will affect the reputation of the court.

If this continues, the efforts of countless people over the past year will be gone.

So sometimes, it is not the court officials who are willing to cover up the cover. If they are lifted up, the consequences will be too heavy and no one can afford it.

And if such things are passed down from layer to layer, it is the worst for the people below to suffer.

A clean official kills people, and a straight minister harms the people!

Although this is a very bastard logic, there is still a little bit of truth.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji decisively allocated military rations and sent them to the disaster area in western Zhejiang by water. Due to the involvement of military affairs, they successfully passed the clearance with the official documents of the Ministry of War, and did not alarm too many people, which was considered to have successfully completed the disaster relief task.

On the other side, people were sent to Jiangxi and Huguang to buy grain to make up for the loss... After a quick turn, they actually blocked the hole.

He first pulled out his ten nails and then attacked his ten toes.

Zhu Di said, "Shangshu Xia, Master Jie, you two are really capable. In just a few days, you have planted hundreds of thousands of stones of grain out of thin air. With you two in the future, you will no longer have to worry about food in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Grandma's, it's so weird.

After seeing this, he put on the previous thing... Xu Jingchang thought of the idea of ​​changing rice into mulberry, but his ideas were obviously different from Li Zhigang.

He hopes that the King of Han will be organized by the merchants, supervised by the court, and will expand the scale of the industry by the way, and prepare for a large-scale voyage to the West...

Zhu Di took it and saw that the memorial actually stated that the disaster situation in western Zhejiang was slowing down, local gentry and tycoons enthusiastically lost their donations, the victims were able to eat enough, the people's livelihood was stable, and they praised our emperor's wiseness. The court did not need disaster relief.

"By taking advantage of the flood, the acres of people's land are something that those beasts who are unwilling to do. But how did they attack the food for disaster relief in the court? What's going on?"

How can you forgive the crime of deceiving the king?

"Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

Zhu Di snorted, "Okay, you all have great hands and eyes, and you know everything better than me. I am really deaf and blind, and confused!"

Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Di suddenly issued an order and called the two guys to the palace.

Xu Jingchang calmly took out a memorial from Hangzhou magistrate Xu Wenlan and handed it to Zhu Di.

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, as if he was a magic trick, and took out several memorials and handed them to Zhu Di.

Xu Jingchang looked solemn and said only: "I checked the official documents and found that this batch of grain was transferred by the inner court and sent to Liujiagang for shipbuilding craftsmen."

The former Minister of Rites Li Zhigang was taken down, the Hangzhou Prefect Xu Wenlan was arrested, and the Zhejiang Maritime Bureau and Jiangnan Weaving Bureau did not escape.

Everyone knew about the flood in western Zhejiang. He also sent officials to check in detail. After getting the results, Zhu Di prepared food and wanted to provide relief to the victims.

The most important one is the memorial of Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, but at this time his accurate official position was the imperial envoy.

Zhu Di glared at the two of them, "When I encountered something, I didn't want to tell me, but I just wanted to collude with each other, hide it from the king and father, and say that my friends are traitors. It is reasonable for me to put you in the imperial prison now."

Zhu Di was stunned. He decided to voyage to the West, and he also asked for shipbuilding. Zheng He was there to supervise the work.

The flying fish suit is flying, and the embroidered spring knife is unsheathed.

However, Li Zhigang could think of a similar idea, and Xu Jingchang didn't dare to underestimate this person, so he secretly sent someone to investigate.

The Jinyiwei was to all officials of the Ming Dynasty, just like Zhang Babai to Sun Shihwan.

Among them, the former Minister of Rites Li Zhigang went to Fujian and Zhejiang to announce the imperial edict. He could probably be regarded as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but he did not have this title at the moment.

On the other hand, Zhu Di did not kill people like Jing Qing and Tie Xuan, but just banned them and let them work hard with the young and strong recruited by Xu Jingchang.

He also applied the hot glue to his back, then pulled it hard, and one skin fell down, blood and blood was blurred, and screams were endless.

This kind of thing lasted from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to its demise... In the late Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan area, which was known as the hometown of fish and rice, had to rely on Huguang and Jiangxi to transport food, otherwise it would not be maintained.

Ji Gang performed the great memory recovery technique on him.

A flood occurred in western Zhejiang. Li Zhigang wrote a letter, suggesting that the court change to plant mulberry trees. His meaning was that silk makes money than food, and the people can save more and hide it from the people, so that they will not be afraid of floods and droughts.

Isn’t this an insult to the profession of Jinyiwei?

After finally waiting for it, the opportunity finally came.

"Xu Jingchang, what do you mean, before I issued an order, someone took the initiative to transport food to provide disaster relief. This is such a great charity! It's more kind than my heart! It's so good, so good!"

There are tens of thousands of craftsmen and men in Liujiagang, and people eat horses and chew it, which is really not a small amount.

Several major cases in the Hongwu Dynasty all had their voices.

If it was just a mere grain problem, Zhu Di could still be calm, but now he is using tricks and treats the emperor as a three-year-old child, which is unbearable.

It turned out that after Zhu Di entered Yingtian, he sent important civil and military officials to various places, took over local government offices, controlled the nine sides, and spread the word that the emperor had changed. Everything was the same as before, so don't panic.

He looked around and stared at Xu Jingchang, "You said, what the hell is going on? What do you know?"

The result was not found out if you didn't check it. I was shocked when I checked it. It turned out that many big investors had already come forward in the affected areas and purchased land for less than 20 stones per acre.

When Zhu Di saw this, he frowned and felt that his IQ was challenged.

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"I'll pay my respects to Your Majesty."

It is a terrifying existence that can stop children from crying.

check!

Must be checked to the end!

Zhu Di directly called Ji Gang.

Moreover, when these big farmers get the land, they naturally have to plant mulberry trees with higher incomes. Only fools can plant food honestly. As for the price of grain, they don’t care. Anyway, no one will starve to death!

Could it be that they were involved?

The top and the other side colluded, annexed land, embezzled food, regarded the national law as nothing, was both an inner court and an official... They were such a brave man.

But the question is how dare they call for disaster relief food?

Who gave them the courage?

Zhu Di was furious, but listened to Xu Jingchang again: "I have reported to you, and I continue to investigate and find that this batch of food was not sent to Liujiagang. In fact, it has been transported to the disaster area in Zhejiang."

The two of them were sweating down and they knelt down in a hurry, "The criminals dare not hide it from Your Majesty, but the criminals are really worried that they will ruin the overall situation, so they have to do it. Please give it a clear example."

When Xu Jingchang saw this, he finally felt kind-hearted, "I heard from Your Majesty that the grain in the warehouse disappeared. I know a little about this, but the situation inside is complicated and I dare not report it suddenly."

For these people, it is ten thousand times more uncomfortable than being cut into pieces.

Just so happened that Xu Jingchang was there, and they were a little stunned and immediately saluted Zhu Di.

This situation was also the reason for the rapid collapse of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The Qing court and Li Dingguo and others were competing for Huguang and other places. After all, when the dynasty changes, raw silk cannot fill the stomach, and food can only be done.

"It's so cruel. Ji Gang is simply a beast that eats people and doesn't spit bones." Zhu Gaosui ran to complain to Xu Jingchang. His men were indeed good. He actually investigated the interrogation site. At this time, he came over and described it vividly with Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang said slowly: "This is to ask the Zhejiang Maritime Weaver Bureau and the Jiangnan Weaver Bureau."

The founding nobles still have a trace of vitality.

The two of them were trembling all over. Xia Yuanji had been to prison once, and Xie Jin finally turned over. When they were most worried, they huddled to apologize and sweated heavily.

The worst of them is Hangzhou magistrate Xu Wenlan.

Then the food I prepared was in vain?

And the problem is that these foods are gone... All these are strange everywhere, and Zhu Di only feels that his temples are buzzing, and it hurts when he jumps.

You should know that the good land in western Zhejiang is not even worth fifty stones per acre in ordinary years. Buying land at this time is almost like picking up money.

The lowest acre is only fifteen stones.

This powerful magic weapon in Zhu Di finally released a fatal blow.

Only Ji Gang of the Jinyiwei was depressed and injured. His Majesty has ascended the throne for a year, and he has not had the chance to start a massacre. He is really anxious to death.

This Jinyiwei leader has long been unable to hold back.

Zhu Di was stunned. These two yamen were both from the palace, belonging to the emperor's confidant, and held the key to the treasury.

Jinyiwei, do you know?

The infamous Northern Town Fushi.

Zhu Di also thinks it's good.

However, because of Xu Jingchang's existence, he really saved many people, such as Sheng Yong, Ping'an and others, all alive, and Li Jinglong also turned over.

Don't kill anyone, just remove the list.

As a result, the Hangzhou magistrate who is now directly responsible actually said that the disaster was not serious and could be survived by the donations of local gentry.

Within an hour, Xu Wenlan fell into a coma three times and woke up three times.

Zhu Gaosui was chilling when he lifted it. In contrast, the fatigue tactics he and his second brother used against Uncle Seventeen were just small scenes of gentle breeze and drizzle.

"Have Xu Wenlan confessed?"

"I'm asking for help, would you dare not confess? According to what he said, it was Li Zhigang who asked him to write a letter to refuse the imperial court's food for disaster relief, in order to stop the victims' thoughts. But in fact, the food was sent to Liujiagang Shipyard and then borrowed it to Zhejiang in the name of the Maritime Bureau... Although it was still the food, after such a move, the people could not get the food for disaster relief. If you want to survive, you must sell the land at home at a low price."
