"Who dares to break into my house!" Li Huan rushed out with his people.

As soon as the results came out, I was slightly startled when I saw Ban Zhi from the Imperial City Department.

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Who is Li Huan?"

"it's me."

"Catch him." He Bin said coldly.

Then he added: "Take him back and beat him severely."

He gave the order, and Imperial City Commander Panzhi rushed over and surrounded Li Huan and others.

"You...what are you doing, who are you..."

"Catch them all, arrest them all, don't let anyone go!"

"Why are you arresting people!" Li Huan was furious, "Do you know who I am? I, Li Huan, am a good friend of Wang Qingzhi, the official of Kaifeng Mansion Yamen. You..."

Before he finished speaking, He Bin slapped him in the face.

With a slap, he stopped talking and became honest.

Zhang Song inside heard something was going on outside and ran away quickly.

After a while, He Bin cursed: "You straight bitch! Why does it smell so bad!"

Everyone smelled it and couldn't help but cover their noses.

"Commander He." At this time, the people below ran over and "caught one of them and prepared to climb over the wall to escape, but he fell into the pit."

Damn it!

He Bin almost jumped up. If he fell into the latrine, wouldn't you wash it with water first?

Zhang Song has been escorted over, and it was he who fell into the pit.

"This Shangguan, I am Zhang Song, the chief clerk of the Gyeonggi Road Transportation Department. Is there any misunderstanding?"

He Bin was too lazy to pay attention to him, waved his hand, and asked someone to take him down and wash him quickly before taking him back.

If this was brought to the street, wouldn't all the people in the imperial city's department be thrown away?

Soon, Li Huan, Li Zhu and his son were beaten so hard in the Imperial City Prison that they no longer even recognized their mother.

Almost everyone in the Li family was interrogated, but the interrogation of the servants did not reach the point of execution.

An hour later, the confession and the account books of the Li family's transactions were placed on Zhao Ning's court.

The confession included the confessions of many people, such as Li Huan, Zhang Song, and even Wang Qingzhi, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, who was arrested and interrogated by the Imperial City Department during the process.

There is also the minister Zuo Cao of the Ministry of Finance.

The Song Dynasty had a two-government and three-division system, and the three divisions here were the financial yamen.

However, after Shenzong was restructured, all power was returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zuo Cao Lang Zhongling is in charge of household registration.

Obviously, those who want to collect grain on Gyeonggi Road must know where and how many people are there.

All the evidence points to one person, Shao Zeqing, the Minister of Household Affairs and Gyeonggi Road Transport Envoy.

And according to Zhang Song's confession, there were many people who went to collect grain. After harvesting, Li Huan sold it privately in Tokyo.

The huge profits earned are distributed proportionally.

This is why Li Zhu dared to tell Zhao Ning to pay him to collect a batch of grain so that he could make money.

There is demand in Tokyo, and the food supply from the southeast can only barely prevent riots in the city for the time being.

Rich people are accustomed to living a luxurious life and are willing to pay high prices.

When there is buying and selling, there is naturally going to be killing.

Who will take care of whether the people in the countryside have extra food at home?

They only look at the cold numbers on the accounts and the profits that go into their own pockets.

Shao Zeqing!

Gyeonggi Road Transporter.

What is the official position of a transfer envoy?

The Transportation Department, also known as the "Caoshi", is in charge of finance and tax revenue, and is also in charge of supervising officials.

In the early years of the Song Dynasty, wars continued, and the transshipment envoys were only temporarily set up to be responsible for the transportation of food for the army.

By the mid-term, the 24th Route had begun to be established, and they had great powers. They had almost all powers except military power.

Later, it was slowly divided by several other divisions.

Since the Transfer Department involves finance and tax revenue, it must be linked to people's livelihood. You can understand it as the chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty, or somewhat similar to the provincial governor, with greater power.

Because he has the power to supervise officials.

This power configuration is unreasonable!

"Go! Bring me the person back from Chenliu County. I will see the person before dark."

Damn it! Why should the government be so anxious?

Gao Qiu complained in his heart, working with this emperor would really cost his life!

On the surface, he was still respectful and said, "Yes! I will arrange for someone to come over right now!"

After Gao Qiu went out, Zhao Ning said: "Wang Huaiji."

"Guan family, what's the matter?"

"Go to Xuan Baiguan and go to Chui Gong Hall to discuss matters at Youshi."

"Yes, I will do it now."

Wang Huaiji found it strange that it was already evening at Youshi, and it was very rare for officials to enter Chui Gong Hall at dusk.

"Wait a minute."

"What else does the official family have to do?"

"Send someone to call Zongze and Zhang Shuye back."

"yes."

From Zhao Ning's point of view, this matter cannot be delayed for a single second. At present, there must be many people in Gyeonggi Road who are thinking of searching for food in the countryside.

This is such a huge profit return!

Human nature is simply vulnerable in the face of such profit returns!

Moreover, the next mid-line defense system will require the deployment of a lot of people in Gyeonggi Road to cooperate. If the people's power is sucked away by a group of short-sighted "vampires", Zhao Ning will be helpless even if he has three heads and six arms.

This matter must be handled with thunderous means. A family's food may be plundered in one day's delay.

At the You hour, the hall was decorated with vertical arches.

All the officials who had attended the morning court in the past had arrived.

Everyone felt strange that it was already evening and they still had to go to court?

Although several officials were asked to leave by the Imperial City Department today, the reasons have not been announced. The food search case has not yet spread, so it is natural that the officials do not know what the emperor wants to do.

Not long after, Zhang Shuye and Zongze also arrived.

Since Zongze was formulating a defense strategy for Hebei and discussing with the emperor, it was inconvenient to leave for Cizhou immediately, so Zongze also took advantage of this time to reorganize military affairs by the Yellow River. After all, a hundred thousand troops came over at once.

In the Hall of Wende, Gao Qiu said: "The official family has been brought here."

"Bring it to the outside of Chui Gong Hall."

"Do you want to take it outside Chui Gong Hall?"

Zhao Ning glanced at him, and he immediately said: "Yes!"

After a while, Zhao Ning arrived at Chui Gong Hall.

Everyone saluted: "I see you, Your Majesty. May your greetings be with you."

"No courtesy." Zhao Ning sat down, glanced at everyone and said, "In the evening, I also announced the entrance of all the ministers into the palace, which disturbed the elegance of everyone having dinner with their families. It should not be done!"

No one spoke.

Zhao Ning continued: "But if I don't call you all, I'm afraid this country will be destroyed."

When the ministers heard what the emperor said, they were all shocked.

Damn it, Your Majesty, you don’t have a fever, do you?

Zhao Ning didn't wait for anyone to say anything and asked again: "Ms. Zhao."

Zhao Ding came out: "How much food has arrived in the capital so far?"

"A total of 1.5 million shi have been brought to the capital. They will be sold by the imperial court at a price of 800 shi per shi."

This price is actually sold by the imperial court.

Using the Chinese method, the cost price of grain transported from the Huaihe River is almost 2 guan per stone.

In other words, Zhao Ning will lose 1.2 guan for every stone sold, and if he sells 5 million dan, he will lose 6 million guan.

But we still have to sell it this way because this was the normal food price in the past.

Many people can't even afford this price.

For example, outside Tokyo, people use disaster relief food.

The situation at hand can only be like this to survive this period of time.

"Another 2 million shi will come to Beijing in the future."

Once these grains arrive in Beijing, it will naturally be greatly relieved.

Zhao Ning said: "My dear gentlemen, food is the most important thing for the people. Am I right?"

Everyone said: "Your Majesty is right."

"Now that the capital is suffering from war and food is in short supply, the imperial court is trying its best to mobilize food from all over the country in order to stabilize the livelihood of the people in the capital. Do you think I am doing the right thing?"

Everyone said again: "Your Majesty puts the people first, he is a holy king, and your Majesty is a wise man."
