Lu Zhengyuan took Xue Qing as his role model.

After coming to Daning to learn more about the situation, he was in awe of the head of the Daning family.

When Daning was first built, many reforms and new policies were implemented by the Xue family and his sons...

The father-in-law of Daning is not one who enjoys happiness, but one who works hard!

Perhaps there was a precedent, and Lu Zhengyuan was greatly stimulated. He used to hang out in the Liang Kingdom, but now he wanted to clear his name.

He knew that everyone looked down upon him and did not believe that he could complete this important task. This made Lu Zhengyuan secretly hold his breath.

He will definitely finish it!

Because His Majesty and the imperial court need this batch of withheld grain.

Lu Zhengyuan knew the danger of this errand. The Huaizhou he was about to go to was a real dragon's pond and tiger's den.

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger cubs.

He knew that the real problem was the Food Recruitment Administration, which was established during the war but has since been abolished!

"Sir, we will arrive in Huaizhou in one day's journey. Do we need to inform Jiangzhou officials in advance to welcome us?"

At this moment, a voice of inquiry interrupted his thoughts.

The person who came was a Jinyiwei wearing regular military uniforms. The uniforms were black and gray and looked ordinary, but in fact he was a Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Jinyiwei is a supervisory organization established by Guan Ning based on the Ming Dynasty. In comparison, today's Jinyiwei is only an executive agency, not a decision-making agency.

It is composed of people from the former Imperial City Division, Tianyilou Gang and others.

After Guan Ning toured the northwest and discovered that Jinyiwei had neglected his duties, he reorganized his organization.

The Jinyi Guard has one commander and two deputy commanders. In addition to going to Beijing, there are also five guard posts throughout the country. The chief officer of the guard post is a thousand households, and there are ten hundred households under them, each with a hundred people.

The title of Qianhu is a very important official position, and because of its power, it is simply intimidating!

Guan Ning sent two thousand households to Lu Zhengyuan, who could assign two thousand people. At the same time, he could also use the gold medal to command the local defense station and serve him!

Obviously, this was Guan Ning's attempt to prevent local officials from colluding...

The young man next to Lu Zhengyuan who looked ordinary in military uniform was a Qianhu, his name was Wen Yuan.

"It's natural to spread the word."

Wen Yuan paused and said, "I think it would be better if you go quietly and search in secret first, or you can order the local guards to investigate secretly until you have some evidence and then show up."

He felt that the father-in-law had little experience in handling cases. He made such a big show of taking official ships and staying at inns that his whereabouts had already been revealed. This would make people well prepared. If they went to Huaizhou, nothing would be found...

Lu Zhengyuan said: "After I took over this errand, I became the target of public criticism. There are countless people keeping an eye on my whereabouts. Do you believe it or not, when we left Beijing, someone quickly transmitted our whereabouts to Jianghuai?"

"

Wen Yuan was slightly startled.

It's true when you think about it.

Inspecting the world's granaries is such a heavy task. There have been officials who were killed midway through the trip before. It is extremely difficult to keep the whereabouts completely secret, and there will be certain dangers.

However, Inspector Lu is the father-in-law of the country, so no one should dare to touch him, unless there is rebellion...

“Instead of being secretive, it’s better to be open and aboveboard.”

Lu Zhengyuan obviously thought very clearly.

"Then we can also order Huaizhou Jinyiwei to conduct a secret investigation first, and at least we can grasp some of the situation."

Lu Zhengyuan asked back: "Can you guarantee that Jin Yiwei is completely trustworthy and will not collude with the local government?"

"ensure!"

Wen Yuan affirmed: "This will not happen to Jin Yiwei."

Lu Zhengyuan shook his head and said: "The Jin Yiwei has something special. It can be regarded as being directly subordinate to the emperor and has great power, but the Jin Yiwei is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he can do anything."

"I was in the Liang Kingdom, and my daughter was the crown princess, but now? I have become the head of the Daning Kingdom."

This metaphor is very appropriate.

Wen Yuan still insisted: "Jinyiwei will not collude with the local government."

"That's under the premise that there is no profit."

Among the chief officials of the Grain Recruitment Administration was Liu Dong from the Jianghuai Guards Station.

This should be a huge network of interests.

Lu Zhengyuan looked a little sad.

His errand is not easy to handle. He has passed the examination and implemented the law first, and then he has to inventory the world's granaries. At this juncture, he has to remove the post of Huaizhou Prefecture Shepherd.

Maybe this is His Majesty's way of helping him, but what if something bigger happens?

I was put on fire!

Lu Zhengyuan even regretted coming to Huaizhou.

It is precisely because of this that he decided to be fair and aboveboard. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Let's fight!

"Send someone to inform you that this inspector has received the holy order, holds a gold medal, and is ordered to inspect the world's granaries. If he is timid, what is going on?"

"yes!"

Although Wenyuan was from a thousand households, he still responded respectfully.

The commanding officer had given him strict instructions before coming here, and he must not neglect them.

If this errand is done well, it can be considered a great achievement.

He felt that what Inspector Lu said was reasonable. Isn't it a shame to be timid when doing things under orders?

He arranged for someone to formally spread the word.

However, Jianghuai officials must keep an eye on the sentries throughout the journey. They are traveling on an official ship, so it is difficult not to know...

In two days, we can reach Huaizhou.

Just as Lu Zhengyuan thought, his whereabouts were closely watched, and someone reported feedback every time he walked!

It would be no exaggeration to say that his trip caused a huge earthquake!

Jianghuai is the richest place in Daning. It is located in the southeast, with convenient location and rich products.

When the war broke out, it did not affect this area. Instead, a large amount of food was provided for the war, and a grain collection agency was therefore established.

Everyone knows that Lu Zhengyuan came here to investigate the Food Recruitment Administration.

After the court meeting ended, news came, which frightened many people.

In fact, during this period, there was already chaos in the Jianghuai area, which was due to the fact that the book making method had been circulated!

Bureaucratic shock, such a harsh law immediately aroused complaints, followed by large-scale resistance!

After many years, the trend of forming cliques has arisen again. Many people gather together, and when they gather together, they feel confident.

The examination method was just like the officials and gentry who paid the same salary in the past, and the bureaucrats also subconsciously started to resist.

From the time when the book was made to the prefectural government, the prefectural government was still the main implementer at the local level, and the prefecture pastor, as the chief official, was also the main implementer.

One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.

Following this, the inventory of the world’s granaries began!

How could the Food Recruitment Administration escape during the war? In other words, this was an investigation of bureaucrats in Jianghuai. At that time, all the chief officials were officials from two places. How could they escape?

The intention is too strong!

The examination method is hard to accept, especially the inventory of the world's granaries.

It's natural to stretch out your hands when you pass them by.

It's not clean to begin with, so how can it withstand inspection?

This is not something that can be solved by dismissing oneself from office, but it is a life-threatening matter!

Bureaucrats rushed around to discuss countermeasures, but there was no solution. The inspector was about to arrive.

Everyone gathered in Huaizhou and arrived at Fangjie's house in the state capital.

Their hearts became even more unsettled because the official documents had arrived... they were to remove them from their post as state pastors and return to Beijing as soon as possible to face the Holy Spirit. This also made them more convinced that a major investigation was coming!
Chapter completed!
