The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

It's another day.

Early in the morning, Yang Feiyuan, Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, finally reported to His Majesty the statistical results of the granaries across the country, totaling 4.29 billion 6.5 million shi. This is an inventory of all official granaries across the country, whether it is the central court from the Ministry of Households. It is the local granary that is in charge, all the results of statistics.

After getting this result, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty were talking a lot, and at first they heard a lot, but then they were silent. The civil and military officials remained silent, because his majesty's face was expressionless and there was no joy at all.

This shows that your majesty is not happy, and if your majesty is not happy, the officials will be guilty.

Xiao Ruijie glanced at Yang Feiyuan, who was standing in the hall, sneered in his heart, and after looking at each other with Li Mingchong next to him, he immediately sat down in distress.

Emperor Xia made great efforts to govern the country. In the middle ten years of ruling the country, he rectified government officials, land reforms, etc., coupled with the beauty of heaven, there were no special natural disasters in the country, so the people had a bumper harvest every year.

As the saying goes, there is food at home and you don't panic. Your Majesty will naturally order the harvest in case of a good harvest. Therefore, every state, capital and county has built four local granaries, and the Central Household Department naturally does the same.

Therefore, according to Xia Huang’s estimation, Daxia’s grain storage is enough for Daxia’s people to consume for ten years! This is the foundation of a nation!

But now, the figures reported by the Ministry of Households are not enough for ten years, at most six years!

Daxia has a population of 116.63 million. If you add slaves, refugees, newborn babies, etc., it is estimated that there are actually more than 200 million, and enough food for a few years can quickly be calculated.

For a long time, Emperor Xia did not focus on grain storage. After all, this is a reserve function, and it won't be used unless there is a catastrophic disaster. But this is the basis for ensuring the national transport. Once a long-term and large-scale disaster occurs, the unfavorable consequences of the fleeting year are large-scale reductions in production or even no harvest, or large-scale wars, and cliff-like disasters may occur. Food is the magic needle for stabilizing the country.

I just didn't expect that Xia Huang's lack of attention caused the corruption and bribery inside!

In the report submitted by the Ministry of Households, the major grain storage grains under the personal jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households are acceptable, and the actual quantity counted is consistent with the accounts. However, there are very few granaries in state capitals and counties, and there are differences between accounts and actual grain storage.

For example, in the granary of Yangzhou Prefecture, there are only more than 1.8 million stored grains. It is necessary to know that Yangzhou Prefecture is placed in the top ten Shangshang Mansion among the more than 300 residences in Daxia. What about the grain storage in the granary?

This is the case for one Yangzhou prefecture, ten or one hundred prefectures, and the lack of grain storage has converged into an astonishing number.

Moreover, the condition of the grain storage is still unknown. Many local officials will mix old beams that have been decayed, or even chaffs and stones, and then collude with the officials of the household department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are inspecting them. Close one eye with one eye. The same is true for the higher-level local officials, so there are a lot of things inside.

"Yang Aiqing, is this the result of the Ministry of Household's governance for me?" Xia Huang's voice suddenly rose, shouting loudly.

Yang Feiyuan immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Weichen is convicted, and please punish your majesty!"

Xia Huang said coldly: "You are a book from the household department, and you are not aware of the fault, and you are unclear about the use of people. You did not manage so many state officials and granaries in Daxia. Where is the Zuo Du Yushi?"

Du Shao immediately went out: "Weichen is here!"

Xia Huang continued: "Follow the list provided by the Ministry of Households, thoroughly investigate! No toleration! Whoever eats it, spit it out to me! Dongchang and Jinyiwei cooperate with the prefectural procuratorate! Never tolerate it!"

"Weichen takes the order!" Du Shaoren responded.

His Majesty was furious. Daxia seemed to hide how many worms were hidden under the clean government. Now let Dongchang and Jin Yiwei cooperate with the investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Those officials who corrupted and broke the law are enough to drink a pot.

Then Baiguan retired.

On the way back to the Hall of Nurturing Heart, Emperor Xia suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know why I know that there is something sloppy in food storage, but haven't checked it?"

Xiao Rui thought for a while, and said, "Is the emperor father wanting to take advantage of the storage of grain to rectify the administration of officials?"

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "This is one of them! The officials of the prefectures in the world who are embezzling grain storage are no longer in the minority. I am the emperor of Daxia. How can I have so much energy to urge the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate corrupt officials? Investigation. Now that the time is ripe, with the deterrence of Yasukuni’s decisive decision, it is just right to rectify the government. On the other hand, in order to make up for the stored grain, the corrupt officials must find ways to make up for the deficit, and the fastest way is to buy from the merchants. Seeing the increase in food prices, it is bound to be used to store food. This price increase is due to the investigation of corrupt officials and not other reasons, so it will not last for long, will not cause the price of food to continue to rise, and it will not cause large-scale businesses. Tuning food..."

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up and immediately understood his majesty's plan.

The quickest way for corrupt officials to make up for the vacancies in the granary and reduce their guilt is to replenish the lack of food. The corrupt officials have to exchange the silver earned from the embezzled food into food and return it to the court. Merchants are not profitable. They sell their munitions to corrupt officials and exchange them for silver. Merchants with money promote the development of other businesses.

Also because this incident was a tracing of corrupt officials, it was not a natural disaster, nor a war, so it will not cause a large area of ​​horrible behavior in the market to collect food, and the interests of the people are guaranteed. baby

By the way, the government can be rectified. This pool of officialdom has never been clean water, and the water can’t be cleaned, so the best way to rectify activities for a period of time is to come.

"How's the progress of the matter for you to check?" Xia Huang asked.

Xiao Rui knew that His Majesty was referring to Yang Feiyuan.

Xiao Rui said: "Return to the father, the son has not yet started to investigate."

Xia Huang nodded and said, "To rectify the officials, we need to find a few big fish to form a deterrent to get a full harvest."

"Erchen understands." Xiao Rui smiled. From the beginning, it was not that Xiao Rui wanted to rectify Yang Feiyuan, but that his Majesty meant.

After lunch, Xiao Rui went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The young man Du, who heard the news, was greeted by the official office, and respectfully invited Xiao Rui to move into the tea house.

"Master Du, your Majesty has entrusted you with the important task of rectifying the administration of officials, and even let Dongchang and Jin Yiwei admire it with full authority. This shows your Majesty's trust in you. Which state is Du Youth planning to start from?" Xiao Rui asked.

When Du Sharon heard the words "to rectify the management of officials", he felt confident. As soon as he turned up, Du Youth suspected that his Majesty would start a new round of rectification of officials. The inventory of the granary was only the beginning. Now Xiao Rui said clearly, not only to make him feel at ease, but also to know what to do.

"His Royal Highness, your subordinates want to start from Chang'an and look up the tricks there, what do your Highness think?" Du Sharon replied.

Xiao Rui smiled suddenly and nodded: "Chang'an is good, Xijingcang is in Chang'an, maybe we can use Xijingcang as a breakthrough point to find out some major problems. But your Majesty said, this time the rectification of officials will have to catch a few big fish. , I don’t know who was the big fish first! It should not be Master Du!"

Young boy Du hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, and said, "His Royal Highness must be joking. No party and private, the subordinates are loyal to the court, to your majesty, and to your majesty. The sun and the moon can show your loyalty!"

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Daxia needs an upright official like Master Du. By the way, where does Master Yang invite Juvenile Du to eat?"

Du Shaosheng replied: "His Majesty, it was the meal served in Tianxianglou! It is all delicacies from mountains and seas, such as bear paw, deer antler, snow lotus, and ginseng. The official roughly calculated, how can this meal cost a hundred and twenty? Let’s not hide it from your Highness, the lower officials have never eaten such a rich delicacy. Thinking about it now, there is endless aftertaste."

"Master Yang is really generous. As the saying goes, Master Yang's intention is for this meal, and what is Master Du's help?" Xiao Rui asked.

Unexpectedly, the young man Du smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, Master Yang did not say clearly, but only said that he missed Xijing's family, and that his family's well-being is his greatest wish."

Yang Feiyuan didn't say directly. In his opinion, Young Boy Du is a smart person, and he has discovered the problem with Xijingcang. When he is hosting a banquet for him this time, Young Boy Du must know his measure and open one eye and close another. It is thankless to offend a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Households. What would Du Youth do?

"What did Master Du say?" Xiao Rui asked.

Young boy Du laughed and said: "The official only cares about eating, not listening to the things around him, just nodding his head, eating completely forgot what Mr. Yang said. I am really ashamed. I want to come to Mr. Yang and he won’t say anything. It's a big deal."

Sure enough, it was a little fox, second only to Li Mingchong's existence. This time Yang Feiyuan not only lost a meal, but also proved that the Xijingcang problem is inseparable from the Yang family!

"Master Du chose to start the investigation in Chang'an. This palace thinks it is very appropriate. It happens that this palace has some important information on hand and will order someone to send it to you." Xiao Rui said.

Young boy Du stood up and said, "The subordinates understand, please rest assured, your majesty and your highness, the subordinates will do things beautifully."

Xiao Rui nodded, and then left here without staying in the Superintendent for a long time.

After going to Zhanshifu for a round, Zhang Liang and Xiao Hezheng packed up their bags, and they were ready to set off in two days~www.ltnovel.com~ Now Zhang Liang is a famous Kyoto, and he jumped to Anxi Festival Envoy less than a year ago. It’s a great reward to have such an honor. It’s also because your Majesty can live in the court, and Anxi Jiedu is a newly-appointed official who governs the fourteen states and does not share the original cake. Therefore, even though the staff of Shangshu called out a few words, he was frightened by his majesty's eyes and shut up.

Everyone believes that Zhang Liang's achievement is not because of how high he learned, but because he chose the right people to follow!

Following the prince, the current achievements have been achieved. Your majesty’s trust and love for the prince really make the prince of an enemy country jealous!

As a result, the recruitment hall established by Xiao Rui was overcrowded. Countless people wanted to follow Xiao Rui, hoping to make it to the sky in one step, so as to rise to the top.

Now, following His Royal Highness has become a way to enter the official career faster than the imperial examination. Fortunately, Xiao Rui lives in the East Palace, otherwise there will be as many visits as snowflakes in the palace.
