Xu Wanjiang said: "This is not a small number! According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the military salary for recruiting soldiers for a month is nine coins. If you include the physical items, this is equivalent to double the military salary! Tomorrow, you can calculate it carefully and see if the physical items are
Isn’t it almost nine cents! Don’t forget, the navy is getting double the military pay! So the Wu’an Army is also paying double the military pay, can you make a fuss about this?”
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, and they looked at Xu Wanjiang with an expression that said they didn't expect pigs to be able to talk! Xu Wanjiang didn't understand their expressions, but felt that he had made a great contribution, and said proudly: "
How about it? I think it’s a good idea, right?”
He Xianli nodded slowly and said: "This is a breakthrough. The tampering with the military system should be considered a breakthrough! This is obviously following the navy!"
Jiang Yuzhong slapped his palm and said, "I'll check it in detail tomorrow to see what's going on!"
Under Xu Wanjiang's prompting, everyone felt that they had got a breakthrough, and the depressed atmosphere suddenly disappeared and became cheerful! They began to discuss where to start tomorrow. At that time, the servants standing next to them felt a lot more at ease, at least
No need to worry about getting scolded!
Early the next morning, several people rushed to Deyi Teahouse excitedly, and together with the accounting gentlemen, they began to carefully calculate the soldiers' pay. Finally, they came to the conclusion that the physical items distributed to the soldiers were indeed worth 56,000 yuan at the market price.
The money looks like. This is far from the number they predicted.
However, it was Xu Wanjiang who was the first to break through the mystery. He said: "This must be another military pay! Because if these things are purchased together, the price will be much cheaper, and there will be discounts for large quantities. But when they issue it to the soldiers, it is probably
Calculated based on the market price. If you don’t believe it, just compare the quantity and price of the grain distributed to the market.”
In fact, you don’t need to tell several other people to understand the truth. Even if you didn’t expect it, you can understand it after Xu Wanjiang’s reminder. Then the question we face now is whether to break this matter with Liu Haojia!
However, at this time, the four of them had a disagreement. That is, both Jiang Yuzhong and Xu Wanjiang advocated immediately asking Liu Haojia why he had tampered with the military system. He Xianli and Wu Yunshan were both opposed. They hoped to find out when they inspected the tax accounts.
Problems occur together.
But in their excitement, they completely forgot that they were on Liu Haojia's land now! Especially the water delivery workers and the scribes who helped were all arranged by Liu Haojia, so their situation had already been spread! So while they were arguing
Suddenly the door was pushed open and Liu Haojia stepped in!
He looked at the surprised people and said, "It seems that some of them are arguing very hard. Could it be that they have discovered some problem?"
Xu Wanjiang thought about the humiliation of being thrown into Kong Qianhu's house for the past two days, and said loudly: "Master Hou, this Wu'an Army is also a member of the Jinyiwei establishment. How can you change the military system without authorization and issue food and salary privately? This is a serious crime!
"
Liu Haojia laughed and said: "It seems that you have discovered a lot of things! Why, do you want to use this to convict me?"
The others didn't say anything, waiting for Xu Wanjiang to speak. But Xu Wanjiang wasn't that stupid. He didn't respond immediately. Instead, he said loudly: "Master Hou, I am not looking for trouble for you when a large group of people come to Tianjin. I am just waiting for you."
We are just doing things according to the rules! However, there are things here that are not in line with the rules of the court. Naturally, we will point them out and report them to the court! As for how to deal with them, it is the court's business!"
Liu Haojia sneered and said: "Mr. Xu, you and I are both from the same sect as the Jinyiwei family! Now your elbows are turned outward. Are you worthy of the master Guan you worship?"
But Xu Wanjiang felt that Liu Haojia said this because his feet were sore from being pinched, so he said proudly: "I'm just doing things according to the rules!"
Liu Haojia sneered and said: "It's good to follow the rules! In this case, come and ask for the imperial edict!"
After Liu Haojia finished speaking, a servant immediately turned around and left. A moment later, he came back with a document in both hands and handed it to Liu Haojia. After taking it with both hands, he put the document on the table and said: "The answer you want is in it.
See for yourselves!”
Xu Wanjiang was the first to reach out and pick up the document and look through it. After a few glances, his proud expression slowly turned into dejection! The other people knew from his expression that something was not going well, but they still took the document.
Look through them in turn!
The content of the document is very simple. It is a document in which Liu Haojia described the situation of the Wu'an Army to Emperor Wanli. It described his military training very clearly. However, later he described the living conditions of the military households in Tianjin and expressed
The danger is that a large number of military households are idle and unable to find a job.
Finally, he asked Emperor Wanli to allow him to temporarily use part of the navy's military pay to subsidize the Wu'an Army. When he could find new financial resources in the future, he would not have to use the navy's military funds. On the last page of the document, the word "Ke" was written in cinnabar. Below
There is also the private seal of Emperor Wanli.
After He Xianli and others read the document, they all looked as if someone had stuffed their mouths with horse dung, but they were not allowed to vomit! A flaw that was finally found was blocked! And they also knew that even without this document,
, the most they can do is disgust Liu Haojia!
Because the Wu'an Army was subordinate to the Jinyiwei, it was directly under the command of the emperor. Although the military pay was paid by the imperial court, Liu Haojia did not write the word "military pay" when he distributed the physical items. The account book only wrote "subsidy". With this operation, although all
Everyone knows that he is doubling the salary, but no one can say that there is something wrong with him in terms of procedures.
After they finished reading, Liu Haojia directly took the documents from their hands and arranged for someone to send them back. Then he turned back and said: "These adults are also important ministers in the court. Since they come to run errands, they always do something small.
Your hands and feet are all looked down upon!”
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving a few people standing there with red faces. Xu Wanjiang clenched his hands in anger, but he did not dare to say another word!
Finally, He Xianli sneered and said: "Wu Anjun can't find any problems here, so let's check his tax collection accounts! The entire commercial tax in Tianjin, plus the card charges in the canal, so much money is exchanged, I don't believe it."
No problem!"
After speaking, he turned back to the accounting gentlemen and said loudly: "Everyone, let's put Wu Anjun's accounts aside for now, and do our best to investigate Tianjin's other accounts!"
