"I can't find it." The prince shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Works has to transport wood and stone out almost every day. The guards have long been used to this and will not check it in detail at all."
Moreover, wood and stone are not valuable, things that can be seen everywhere.
What's the best thing to check?
Even if the guards are responsible and carefully check, they may not be able to find out the problem.
Because the stones transported by the Ministry of Works are all large pieces of rock, and the wood is thick logs, with similar appearances.
If someone really does tricks and tampers inside and carries private goods, it is difficult to see on the surface.
Unless one by one checks.
But this is too time-consuming. The Ministry of Works is busy with daily affairs and no one will do this.
Master Wen Ge frowned and suddenly asked: "Mr. Anping County, you just asked His Majesty to investigate the place where the Ministry of Works has transported the most wood and stone in recent years. Why is that?"
“This is very simple.”
Xiao Lingyue explained: "It has been a day or two for the bandit village in Hulang Mountain. They use the Ministry of Industry Construction Department to smel ore, which is not a one-time transaction. Therefore, they must need a stable route that can last for many years.
He smuggled iron materials out, but no one was found.
At the same time, the amount of iron they smuggled is huge, and if they want to hide the truth, they will inevitably need more cover-ups!
In other words.
As long as you check the places where the Ministry of Industry has transported the most wood and stones in the past few years, you may know where the iron materials that have been smuggled out have gone. Then follow the clues and you may be able to find out the final destination.”
Master Wenge suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
"The county magistrate is really quick-thinking and suddenly thinks of this aspect!"
"I was thinking about how to steal the iron material out of the Works Department, but I didn't expect to check for something else... It was really a blind eye!"
The two cabinet masters couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads.
Because it is related to iron ore, their attention can't help but focus on one point.
Xiao Lingyue's idea was more arbitrary and he suddenly opened up new ideas.
She said modestly: "Several masters have over-reputed, and I just guessed that it may not be true."
"Iron smuggling is a major event in the court, and you must not neglect it easily. Even if it is just a speculation without evidence, the old minister believes that Your Majesty should investigate it thoroughly just in case!" Master Wen Ge said seriously.
"I'm going to discuss it!" The other two cabinet masters bowed in unison.
Emperor Zhaoming pondered for a moment and said, "Crown Prince, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Works. I will hand over this matter to you and thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Works. No omission is allowed."
The prince surong bowed: "My son receives the order."
Emperor Zhaoming looked at Xiao Lingyue again: "Anping, the idea you put forward is very useful, so I assisted the prince from the side and investigated thoroughly together!"
Xiao Lingyue said in surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't this suitable?"
She is not a court official and is assisting the prince in investigating the Ministry of Works, which is not justified.
If it is spread, I am afraid that the censor will point at the nose and scold him.
Emperor Zhaoming said, "It's just an auxiliary. You are the lord of Beiqin County and have no inappropriate title."
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
She frowned slightly and had to say, "Yes, Anping takes the order." This chapter has been completed!
