Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 505 Asset transfer, Gao Shilian surrounded the shipyard
The first step in asset transfer is naturally to transfer money.

But the transfer of money is not the transfer of paper money, it is just the currency of the paper money.

It's something like gold, silver, some valuable calligraphy and paintings, etc., another thing that has the same value as money.

Although Fang Yuan had asked people to move carefully and try not to be discovered, he was still noticed.

"Grandpa, I noticed that Fang Mansion is transferring assets!"

Liu Yichen was the first to discover it.

After Fang Yuan and Li Jing met, she had been paying attention to Fang Yuan.

In the past few days, some industries in Fang Mansion and Fang Yuan have shipped boxes of unknown things to the shipyard.

After investigation by secret agents, Liu Yichen found that it was filled with gold, jewelry, etc., in short, they were all valuable things.

"Granddaughter, you read that right, this matter is big or small."

Liu Zhenghui sat up in fright.

Even though he always felt that his granddaughter would not be innocent.

But this incident still shocked him, especially what Fang Yuan did after meeting Li Jing just now.

"It's true, I just don't know what King Zhou meant by this move."

Liu Yichen shook his head and said in a deep voice.

The people she sends out are trustworthy people.

If they discover for themselves that it is money, then it is really money.

I just don’t know what Fang Yuan’s move means and what’s the secret?

"Two reasons:"

"One is to transfer the property and transport it to his fief."

"Secondly, we have reached some kind of agreement with General Li Jing and are helping General Li Jing."

Liu Zhenghui said with a solemn expression.

As Minister of the Ministry of Justice for many years, he felt that this matter was no small matter.

"If it's one of them, it's okay, it makes sense, but there is no port in Lingnan. If the king of Zhou wants to operate it by water, it doesn't make sense."

Liu Yichen said in a deep voice.

She also had these two thoughts.

But Fang Yuan transported the money to the shipyard first, probably by ship.

But Lingnan is currently a wasteland with no port at all. How to transport it to Lingnan by ship?
Moreover, Fang Yuan's palace has not yet been built in Lingnan. Where would Fang Yuan put so much money there?
Therefore, the possibility of being the first is not very high, but the possibility of being the second is much more likely. It is more like reaching an agreement with Li Jing.

It is estimated that the emperor will release Li Jing in the next two days. What are the two of them doing?

"Indeed, you are right, you should keep an eye on King Zhou first."

"If General Li Jing is released, remember to have people keep an eye on him."

"But be careful, you must not be found out that you are being watched by someone else. They are not people that the Ministry of Punishment may be watching."

Liu Zhenghui said in a deep voice.

He stared at Fang Yuan and Li Jing to see if they had any special cooperation.

However, both Fang Yuan and Li Jing had extremely high positions. Without approval from above, the Criminal Department had no right to keep an eye on them.

"Then, should I explain it to His Majesty?"

Liu Yichen was still undecided about something.

That is whether to inform the emperor about the matter.

If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be more suspicious than himself.

The people involved were two very respected bosses, and it was not something he could offend.

If not, it could drive a wedge between His Majesty and the ministers, which would be very problematic if pursued.

"Granddaughter, before you take over Grandpa's position, Grandpa will teach you one more thing."

"Fang Yuan and Li Jing are both untouchable, but you work for the emperor."

"As long as you think about the emperor and work for the emperor sincerely, the emperor will see it."

Liu Zhenghui said seriously.

"Grandpa, I understand!"

Liu Yichen pondered for a moment and nodded.

After bidding farewell to Liu Zhenghui, she went to the palace to meet Li Shimin in person overnight.

"You said Fang Yuan and Li Jing colluded?!"

After Li Shimin learned of Liu Yichen's report, he felt sleepy and his eyes widened horribly.

"No, His Majesty misunderstood."

"I am just making two possible guesses based on Fang Yuan's property transfer."

Liu Yichen shook his head quickly.

She had a guess, but she didn't say it clearly.

There is no evidence for speculation, just expressing one's own thoughts without any responsibility.

But if it is true, then I have to take responsibility, and I cannot bear such responsibility.

"Okay, okay, you can hide the collusion between me and Li Jing!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he walked back and forth in the imperial study.

He originally planned to let Li Jing go tomorrow.

But now it seems that I am still too kind.

Fang Yuan and Li Jing must have guessed that they would let Li Jing go in the next two days.

So in the past few days, the two of them have been secretly cooperating and doing things they don't know.

"Your Majesty, I am just suspicious."

Liu Yichen sighed in his heart and emphasized again.

She suddenly regretted that she had not thought about it and reported it to the emperor.

If he reports like this, the emperor will misunderstand his thoughts and may blame Fang Yuan and Li Jing.

When the news spreads, Fang Yuan and Li Jing also know that they are the ones who spread the news, and they may suffer disaster.

"Liu Yichen, you did a good job. I didn't misjudge you."

"Let your grandfather train you more. When he becomes an official, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Go ahead."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal.

He waved his hand, praised Liu Yichen and let her leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought Li Shimin didn't make any more guesses.

However, after she withdrew, Li Shimin summoned Gao Shilian.

"Gao Shilian, you are the Minister of Household Affairs. I have something to ask your opinion on."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Gao Shilian asked curiously.

It was so late at night, why did you call yourself into the palace in such a hurry?

And seeing the dark circles under the emperor's eyes, he was even more curious as to what was going on.

"I have received news that King Zhou is transporting boxes of his property to the shipyard. What do you think we should do?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Gao Shilian's eyes suddenly darkened.

If the property is transported to the shipyard, is it intended to be transferred?
“Your Majesty, it’s not the king’s ministers who lead the land.”

"The banks, cement factories, red brick factories, etc. in the hands of King Zhou should be His Majesty's property."

"But now, after King Zhou used His Majesty's property to make money, he actually tried to transfer the money he earned. His intentions were sinister. I thought the money should be confiscated."

Gao Shilian's eyes changed several times, and finally he said in a deep voice.

Since it is Fang Yuan's thing, there is no need to be so polite with him.

Rather than letting him transfer all the money, it would be better to do something ruthless and confiscate them to the treasury.

"You are the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, you can make your own decision."

"But one thing, I have to remind you, Fang Yuan and Li Jing met privately a few days ago."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to agree with Gao Shilian's method.

"Is it possible they have another deal?"

Gao Shilian frowned suddenly.

"We don't know this yet, we need you to investigate."

"Remember, don't tell others that I asked you to do it."

Li Shimin exhorted.

"I understand."

Gao Shilian frowned again.

After thinking about it, I seemed to understand why Li Shimin said this.

Fang Yuan and Li Jing, one is a king with a different surname, and the other is No. 1 in the army.

No matter who they are, they are all people with great energy.

If the two of them did anything detrimental to the emperor, it would be very scary for the emperor.

So the emperor has to keep an eye on them.

But if the two are not causing trouble, then the emperor is making trouble.Naturally, the emperor cannot be allowed to do such things as making mistakes, and naturally cannot be allowed to be known to others.

"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

Li Shimin waved his hands.

"Yes."

Gao Shilian left the palace.

Instead of returning to his home, he went to Changsun Wuji's home.

"Uncle, is there something urgent at this late hour?"

Changsun Wuji was very curious about Gao Shilian's arrival.

It's already late at night, and I won't come unless I have something important to do.

"It's an emergency!"

Gao Shilian said in a low voice.

Tell him what happened when the emperor summoned him.

"Fang Yuan's asset transfer may be related to Li Jing?!"

Changsun Wuji's expression became solemn.

He is not afraid of Li Jing, he is just a reckless man who is good at fighting.

He is not afraid of Fang Yuan, he just got the title of King of Zhou because of his bad luck.

However, what exactly the two people are going to do when they join forces is worrying.

"This is what the emperor means."

"I guess he doesn't know, so he asked me to investigate. What do you think I should do?"

Gao Shilian said in a low voice.

One is Fang Yuan and the other is Li Jing.

No matter which one it is, be cautious and cautious.

If you're not careful, they might catch you.

"Regardless of whether the two of them are related or not, there is nothing wrong with keeping an eye on Fang Yuan's money."

"Just say that someone reported that someone was trading illegally in the shipyard, and the shipyard will be closed down according to law!"

"When you go to seize it, I will contact some ministers, inform them of the pros and cons, and persuade them to target Fang Yuan!"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

No matter what the truth is.

At least Fang Yuan's money can be seized.

How much money does it cost to own a bank? I believe that many powerful people do not want Fang Yuan to move them away.

"Okay, let's split up!"

Gao Shilian said in a low voice.

It is about a king with a different surname. If we unite more people, we will have greater confidence.

"it is good."

Changsun Wuji nodded heavily.

He traveled through the night and secretly visited some important ministers.

I believe that many people are unhappy with Fang Yuan, and there should be many people who will come forward this time.

the other side.

In the name of the Ministry of Revenue, Gao Shilian mobilized officers from the Ministry of War to surround the shipyard.

It was late at night, and the Weishui Port was in flames. All exits to the shipyard had been blocked, and soldiers controlled a large area of ​​the shipyard.

When Gao Shilian asked people to find the boxes of money sent by Fang Yuan, he couldn't help but take a breath as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

That’s a lot of money!
Box after box, there are hundreds of boxes, all filled with gold, silver, jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings.

Such a huge number even shocked him as the Minister of Household Affairs, let alone other soldiers.

Fangfu.

There was a rapid knock on the door of Fang Mansion.

The guard guarding the gate asked from inside who was outside.

"I'm Wu Ruyi, in charge of shipyard matters. Open the door quickly. I have something urgent to see King Zhou. It's urgent!"

Wu Ruyi lowered her voice and reported loudly.

After confirming that it was Wu Ruyi, the guards immediately took Wu Ruyi to Fang Yuan's yard.

At this time, Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and others had already fallen asleep and reluctantly got up after receiving the report.

"King Zhou, what's wrong, Gao Shilian led his soldiers to surround the shipyard. I suspect he went there for money."

Before Fang Yuan could ask, Wu Ruyi hurriedly reported.

"When did this happen?"

Fang Yuan suddenly lost his sleepiness.

When he transferred his property, he thought he would be discovered.

Unexpectedly, in just the first few days, someone discovered him and led troops to surround the shipyard.

"Just now, I rushed here from the shipyard."

Wu Ruyi gasped and said.

She happened to be at the shipyard tonight and did not go back.

Then after hearing the report from the security guard, he left the shipyard before Gao Shilian took control of the shipyard and came to report to Fang Yuan.

Wu Ruyi also knew that Fang Yuan and Gao Shilian had a bad relationship. If Gao Shilian dared to lead troops to surround the shipyard, he must have refused to convince him and could only come to Fang Yuan.

"Calm down, relax."

"Go find Qin Huaiyu and ask him to lead a team to the shipyard."

"Let him not do too much, just keep an eye on Gao Shilian and others and prevent them from taking away the things from the shipyard."

Fang Yuan patted Wu Ruyi's shoulder and comforted him.

"Uh, yes!"

Wu Ru thought Fang Yuan was so calm,

The panicked heart slowly calmed down and was no longer so panicked.

Judging from Fang Yuan's arrangements, he should have made a plan in advance, so don't worry.

"Husband, what happened?"

Du Miaoyan asked after Fang Yuan returned to Fang Yuan.

She also woke up, but because she had no clothes, she didn't go out.

Now that Fang Yuan was back on the bed, she leaned over and asked him about things.

"Gao Shilian led his men to blockade our shipyard, probably targeting our money."

Fang Yuan hugged Du Miaoyan and said in a deep voice.

"You really guessed it!"

"I just hope that only Gao Shilian finds out, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."

Du Miaoyan frowned immediately.

Before, she and Fang Yuan talked about transferring money.

At that time, Fang Yuan was worried that someone would be discovered during the transfer, so he was very careful when transferring.

Unexpectedly, he actually discovered it, and it was Gao Shilian.

"We'll find out tomorrow if it is."

"Go to sleep and deal with it when you wake up tomorrow."

Fang Yuan patted Du Miaoyan's shoulder and said softly.

Things had already happened, but Gao Shilian still took the soldiers there.

In this way, Gao Shilian blocked the shipyard in the name of official business.

Since it was a business matter, Gao Shilian did not dare to move the money after Qin Huaiyu passed.

The rest will be dealt with tomorrow.

"Husband, please go to bed early."

Du Miaoyan lay on Fang Yuan's body and couldn't sleep.

Although there are already speculations and certain arrangements.

But things have already broken out, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to normal.

And I don’t know who else is behind it, which is not a good thing for Fang Mansion.

Fang Yuan was not as worried as Du Miaoyan. He was a little less sleepy, but he fell asleep not long after.

He slept until dawn, during which Wu Ruyi did not look for Fang Yuan, and no one else looked for Fang Yuan.

When it was dawn, the eunuchs from the palace arrived and announced the decree to Fang Yuan.

"His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, Your Majesty has issued a decree to announce that you will enter the palace today to attend court early."

Under normal circumstances, Fang Yuan is no longer suitable for attending the morning court.

But if the emperor has oral instructions, he must go to the morning court.

I think it was because of money transfer.

So Fang Yuan dressed up a little and put on his attire to attend the morning court.

When Fang Yuan just arrived, he felt that many ministers looked at him differently.

Not with respect, not with fear, but as if he wanted to watch a show.
