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

Chapter 508 The third ledger, the will of the military attache group

"Don't worry, we have a third ledger!"

"Jiaoyan, you go home and bring another account book!"

Du Miaoyan waved her hand and said calmly.

Xue Jiaoyan nodded, stood up and left directly.

"The third ledger?"

Gao Shilian exclaimed.

Everyone was also shocked, thinking they heard wrongly.

As we all know, there are only two copies of the ledger.

One is placed in the store and the other is placed at the owner's house.

Reconcile accounts every year to determine if there are any problems with the accounts.

However, Fang Yuan actually has a third account book, is he too cautious?
Bookkeeping is a complicated and troublesome matter, and each ledger requires more than one person.

Fang Yuan actually asked three parties to keep accounts, which shows that he is cautious and does not care about the money spent there.

"Gao Shangshu seemed surprised."

Fang Yuan looked at Gao Shilian with a half-smile.

The three major factories had only two ledgers at the beginning.

However, after the production was stagnant and he resold it to Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji and took it back, Fang Yuan was worried that a bad debt had occurred, so he asked someone to create an account book.

I didn't expect to be able to use it now.

I just don’t know what the problem is.

"Isn't it normal to be surprised?"

"Ask everyone here, who is not surprised?"

Gao Shilian snorted coldly, and his mood slowly returned to normal.

In this era, there are fewer literate people after all, so it costs a lot of money to hire someone who can calculate accounts, and you have to hire someone you can trust, otherwise you won't even know there is a problem with the account books.

So Gao Shilian was indeed surprised, and everyone was also very surprised.

But after thinking about Fang Yuan's more than 600 million yuan, everyone could only smile bitterly.

The money and property used for accounting are simply a drop in the bucket, so don't worry about it at all.

"It's normal to be surprised, but to be so rude given the status of a noble scholar is surprising."

Fang Yuan laughed.

He was always paying attention to what was going on.

When Du Miaoyan mentioned the third account book, everyone was surprised, including Li Shimin.

But among so many people, only Gao Shilian couldn't help but exclaimed, feeling too surprised.

Regarding this, Fang Yuan felt that there should be something wrong with the account book. Although Fang Qingping didn't find it, it didn't mean that Gao Shilian didn't do anything.

After finishing his words, Li Shimin and others looked at Gao Shilian.

"I am in charge of this matter. I am surprised and there is nothing unjustifiable."

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, why do you ask this, do you think I will falsify the account books?"

Gao Shilian snorted coldly.

When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another and felt that it made sense.

Fang Yuan did not continue to ask, but was mentally prepared.

Not long after, Xue Jiaoyan came back and brought back a whole box of ledgers.

Gao Shilian looked at this scene, his pupils shrank slightly and his body trembled.

With the cooperation of Wu Ruyi and Lu Xia, the three found another account book in the box and compared it with it.

"Found the problem!"

Xue Jiaoyan glanced at Gao Shilian and brought the account book to Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan.

The two of them compared the records in the ledger and glanced at Gao Shilian, their eyes becoming violent.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, can you let me wait and see?"

Changsun Wuji noticed something was wrong and immediately spoke.

His brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to resolve the crisis.

"It is natural that such a big matter should be told in front of everyone."

Fang Yuan chuckled and handed the account book back to Xue Jiaoyan.

Xue Jiaoyan walked to the crowd, and everyone looked at her.

"The difference of [-] yuan is actually not a difference, it was changed by someone!"

"It is clearly recorded here that the number in the account book is consistent with the owner's, but not consistent with the store's!"

Xue Jiaoyan said loudly.

He looked at Gao Shilian with an unkind expression.

Among the three ledgers, there were two except the one brought by Xue Jiaoyan.

Among them, the one from the owner's house, except for the initial appearance, was watched by Fang Yuan's people, and the one from the store was inspected by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Now, except for the problem with the store's account, the remaining two copies have no errors, which means that the error is in the store's account book.

The most likely thing is that the ledger has been altered.

After the words fell, the officials present were in an uproar and looked at Gao Shilian one after another.

Li Shimin also looked at Gao Shilian, frowning slightly, thinking about the relationship.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, are you the one who encouraged your subordinates to talk to me like this? It's really rude."

"The account book has not been changed since the inspection by our Account Department. Please do not say that it was changed by our Account Department without evidence."

"As for whether your accountant's records are wrong, that's your business and has nothing to do with our Account Department!"

Gao Shilian snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard it, they thought it was not impossible.

However, it is somewhat far-fetched, but the key point is that there is no evidence.

"Since Gao Shangshu said so, I have nothing more to say."

"Can the blockade be lifted with the money I have placed in the shipyard?"

Fang Yuan chuckled.

He knew that it was not that simple to get Gao Shilian down.

Even if he discovered that he had modified the ledger, he would brush it off completely.

This is the attribute that an old fox should have. He does it only when he knows that the risk is low, otherwise he will not mess around.

"Your Majesty, what do you say?"

Gao Shilian looked at Li Shimin again.

"I just expressed my intention."

Li Shimin did not answer directly and said with a cold face.

"Then lift the blockade!"

Gao Shilian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he stood up, shook his sleeves heavily, and prepared to leave.

"Gao Shangshu just left like this?"

Fang Yuan also stood up and called Gao Shilian to stop.

"Anything else?"

Gao Shilian said coldly.

"Gao Shangshu did such a stupid thing, didn't he even apologize?"

"Or is it that my title of king with a different surname is just a decoration and does not even have the dignity it deserves?"

Fang Yuan looked at Gao Shilian and smiled calmly.

Gao Shilian's face suddenly froze, and his eyes became ugly.

These words put him in a difficult position, neither apologizing nor not apologizing.

If he apologizes, he will lose face, and it will be difficult to convince others to control the Ministry of Accounts in the future.

If he didn't apologize, wouldn't the king of the Tang Dynasty even have dignity? Wouldn't all the princes and princes of the royal family have opinions about him?

"Just admit it when you've made a mistake. It's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Li Shimin stood up and strode outside.

Seeing that Li Shimin was leaving, everyone respectfully saw Li Shimin off.

After Li Shimin left, everyone's eyes turned to Gao Shilian.

Some sensible people left obediently, but many stayed, wanting to see the results.

Among them, Li Daozong stayed and looked at Gao Shilian, waiting for him to apologize.

"This official's poor eyesight has delayed His Highness King Zhou's transfer of property. Please forgive me!"

Gao Shilian took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold light, he was very dissatisfied with Gao Shilian's apology.Obviously, Gao Shilian once again told everyone that he had so much money and opened up the devil in their hearts.

Faced with more than 600 million people, I believe that countless people will want it and want to take it for themselves.

Sure enough, the eyes of the officials present changed again.

Gao Shilian achieved his goal, turned around and left.

The officials present also stood up, said goodbye to Fang Yuan and left.

Fang Yuan and others naturally did not stay in the household department, and followed the others and left one after another.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan sat on the carriage.

"Husband, Gao Shilian is obviously not well-intentioned!"

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

The other party's last words indicated his intention to push Fang Yuan into trouble.

"He may have changed the account books, but there is no evidence."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

If the ledger is changed, there should be traces.

But the amazing thing is that there are no traces at all.

Either Gao Shilian has super skills, or one of his own people really remembered it wrong.

Therefore, Fang Yuan considered that he might have remembered it wrongly, so he did not pursue the matter further and left it at that for the time being.

"This matter can't be settled like this!"

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

"I will ask people to impeach him later, and I will also impeach him myself."

"As a king with a different surname, this is my first time to impeach someone. I don't know how the court will respond."

Fang Yuan murmured and laughed.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan returned to Fang Mansion.

Fang Yuan went to the study room, while Du Miaoyan went to find his son.

In the afternoon, the impeachment memorial regarding Fang Yuan appeared on Li Shimin's desk.

"It is my decree that Gao Shilian be suspended from work for a month and stay at home to save time!"

Li Shimin made a decision.

Not only because of Fang Yuan's impeachment, but also because he also had opinions on Gao Shilian.

There was such a huge battle, and he was invited to go through it. In the end, nothing happened, and he was almost pulled out.

This is the reason why Li Shimin punished Gao Shilian. He shouldn't want to drag himself into trouble.

As the imperial edict reached Gao Shilian's mouth, the government and the public were shocked.

They all marveled at Fang Yuan's position in Li Shimin's heart.

the other side.

Li Jing finally came out of the Penal Department prison.

Seven days have passed since he entered.

As No. 1 in the military, he was detained like this for seven days, which had a huge impact.

But also because Li Jing stayed in the cell for seven days, Changsun Chong's matter seemed to be over like this, and no one pursued anything else.

On this day, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and several other generals were waiting for Li Jing at the door of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"General Li Jing, you are finally out!"

Cheng Yaojin and others gathered around and looked at Li Jing with concern.

"I'm fine. Please come and greet me, please go back."

Li Jing smiled slightly and was about to leave with everyone.

However, at this moment, Liu Yichen came out of the Criminal Department.

"Greetings to all of you, uncles and uncles. My grandfather has something to tell you."

Liu Yichen very obediently stopped in front of Li Jing and others and saluted Li Jing and others.

"Say what you want to say!"

Cheng Yaojin urged.

He looked at Liu Yichen dissatisfied, and he was very dissatisfied with the personnel of the Criminal Department.

"My grandpa said that now is a sensitive period. Please generals, please stop thinking about starting a war. Now is not a good time to start a war."

Liu Yichen reported truthfully.

"Hmph, we don't need your civilian officials to tell us what to do with our military attachés!"

Yuchi Jingde snorted coldly and said very dissatisfied.

Li Jing did not express his position, just nodded and strode away.

When he left, Cheng Yaojin and others naturally followed.

Liu Yichen looked at the backs of Li Jing and others leaving and sighed in his heart.

If the military attache group all demands a war, then the imperial court will probably start a war soon.

This war will not be as simple as just starting a war, but will also involve many factors.

For example, the scope of the impact will be very wide, and it will also involve the matter of Li Jing becoming the king.

Now, some people are spreading it privately, why can civilian officials be crowned kings, but military generals are not given the opportunity to be crowned kings.

If Li Jing once again organizes people to write a letter to start a war, even the emperor will have to think twice about whether it is really necessary to start a war.

"I spent seven days in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and made everyone laugh!"

Enter Li Jing's residence.

Li Jing entertained Cheng Yaojin and others.

Hong Funu and others prepared the ceremony for Li Jing to receive the wind and wash away the dust.

After a long while, everyone had time to sit down and rest in the living room.

"I don't dare to laugh, I just think it is a shame to our military attaches!"

"Their civilian officials can make kings, but our military attachés are slandered even when they ask for war. I don't accept it!"

"Send a letter. Let's jointly sign a letter, demanding war, glory for the country, and sealing off the territory and splitting the land!"

Cheng Yaojin and others said indignantly.

Li Jing was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It was not only Li Jing who was embarrassed, but also the generals like them.

Because this was a contest between Li Jing and Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji was obviously slightly better, and their generals were suppressed by the civilian officials.

As a result, Cheng Yaojin and others were dissatisfied and united in an unprecedented way, demanding a war and giving their general group a king with a different surname.

"With your words, the grievances I felt during the past few days of being locked up have disappeared."

"Since ancient times, our military generals have been full of enthusiasm, but they have always been suppressed by civil servants and found it difficult to achieve their goals."

"This time, we must succeed in the battle, make achievements, and achieve the throne, so that the civil servants will no longer dare to bully us at will!"

Li Jing looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

He was still so calm and sharp, not depressed by being locked up for seven days.

As the number one in the army, I have seen all kinds of scenes, and being detained for just seven days is nothing.

"it is good!"

"Write a memorial!"

"Jointly submit a letter to His Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin and others echoed loudly.

Under the leadership of Li Jing, they signed their names one after another.

Among them, some generals did not come, so the memorial was brought to them for signatures.

In just a few days, a petition petition for all those in Beijing arrived on Li Shimin's desk.

After receiving the petition petition from Li Jing and others, Li Shimin was no longer as angry as he had been at the beginning, but read the memorial carefully and thought about it seriously.

Fangfu.

Fang Yuan also learned about Li Jing's coming out.

But it was not him who sent someone to investigate, but Li Jing who sent someone to inform him.

He said that Fang Yuan had not been able to help him before, and if there was to be a war, the weapons must be supported in place.

Therefore, Fang Yuan learned about Li Jing's release from prison, and also knew that Li Jing still wanted to continue the war.

Weapons must be supported, but I don’t know if the war can start. What does Li Shimin think?

Once the war starts, as long as Li Jing leads the army to attack, it is probably not a problem to be crowned king. After all, his abilities are there, and coupled with the weapons with huge destructive power, the success rate is huge.

But once the war starts, it will affect a large area.

No matter which country the Tang Dynasty went to war with, other countries would spontaneously resist the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was too powerful. They were all afraid of the Tang Dynasty. They all understood the meaning of death and coldness.

Once this happens, a lot of unknowns may happen.
