Sun Chengzong quickly found Tie Mo and sat at a square table facing each other.
"Rhide, the trouble is almost over. It's time to stop. In my opinion, those people have learned a lesson. The most important thing is that it will not be good for anyone to continue the trouble. The situation in Shaanxi is getting worse and worse.
Chaos, Yang He has sent several letters to urge troops, it seems that he really can't hold on anymore."
"Well, what the teacher said is true. The students will have them withdrawn tomorrow. However, the things taken away by Taiyuan Prefecture must be returned, otherwise the students will not be able to explain to those merchants."
Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, "You can rest assured on this point, you will get back as much as you took away before."
The teacher and the student had a very happy chat, but no one expected that something that should have gone smoothly would go wrong again. According to Sun Chengzong's wishes, both parties took a step back and pretended that nothing had happened.
Once it was covered up, the court would try to cover it up again and give the people an explanation.
But who would have thought that trouble would arise again in Taiyuan Prefecture. In the past, many people from Taiyuan Prefecture had taken advantage of the opportunity of forced conquest, and many people in Taiyuan Prefecture had taken advantage of Shanxi merchants. Now the court has given up, and everyone has returned to live in peace, but
Something happened when I was returning my things.
A large part of the porcelain and silks that were previously seized have been resold and exchanged for cash. Of course, the purpose of reselling these items and exchanging them for cash is not to rush to Shaanxi for disaster relief, but to facilitate their personal pockets.
This kind of thing is normal. They check the supplies and convert them into cash as soon as possible to share them, so as to avoid long nights and dreams. After all, there is no money to hold on to. This time, Taiyuan Prefecture did the same thing. Converting cash, officials from all sides were greedy.
Part of it, the rest was handed over to the imperial court as disaster relief money. It was a good idea, but now that I am asked to return the things, what should I get in return?
Everyone in the officialdom understands this kind of thing, but it is not enough for outsiders. If this kind of thing is told, won't it become a laughing stock?
Ordinarily, if there is nothing left, you can just pay back the money, but you cannot pay back the money directly. If you pay back the money, then you have to explain where the supplies went? Are you telling everyone that Taiyuan Prefecture sold the supplies? Moreover, there is another
It's a big problem. Most of the money gained from reselling has gone into the officials' private pockets. It's too difficult to get them to spit it out.
Gao Jie's life was very difficult. It can be said that his head was almost exploding when he thought about things. What on earth did the cabinet do? If you give in, what should you do in Taiyuan Prefecture?
Gao Jie knew very well about Tan Mo. Although he didn't take the money, half of the people under his command had benefited from it. The most terrible thing was that the governor Geng Ruqi also took a share, and some of it was sent to the capital.
Reserved by the ministers of the DPRK and China.
The money has been distributed and the supplies are gone. Now they are asked to return the supplies. What should I get in return?
Gao Jie kept trying to delay it and tried his best to cover up the matter. But there is no airtight wall in the world? In two days, no matter how complicated the procedures were, it was time to see the supplies. The anxious Shanxi merchants tried their best to inquire
, got the news soon, and now, the Shanxi merchants went crazy.
It has only been a few days, but the supplies have already been resold by Taiyuan Prefecture. The supplies are gone. What can Taiyuan Prefecture give in return?
Shanxi merchants directly approached Chang Yinxu, hoping that Chang Yinxu would write a letter to Tie Mo, hoping that General Tie would make the decision for the Shanxi merchants who had suffered heavy losses.
...
Zhang Bei and Tie Mo were hiding under the corridor, teasing Mengmeng on the steps with Nunu. The two of them and the wolf were having a great time.
Zhou Dingshan walked in in a hurry. Seeing him, Tie Mo couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Hey, didn't I ask you to stay in Yuci County? Why are you back?"
"Brother Tie, something happened over there." Zhou Dingshan knelt down and handed Chang Yinxu's autographed letter to Tie Mo. After reading the letter, Tie Mo's eyes widened and his head was buzzing. Within a few days, Taiyuan Mansion
The stolen supplies were sold, and the money was missing.
I don’t know where the money went? You can use your butt to figure out where the money went.
Tie Mo was immediately furious and angrily went to the back hall. After finding Sun Chengzong, he put the letter on the table, then sat next to him and breathed heavily.
"Teacher, look, this is what those people did."
"Huh? What makes you so angry?" Sun Chengzong originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw it, his old face turned cold and he stood up, "This is unreasonable, this is unreasonable."
It is common for officials to be corrupt, and Sun Chengzong would not be angry because of this. But this time, the people in Taiyuan Prefecture did an incredible job. Before the tax collection was over, they resold the supplies first.
Are you so anxious to make money?
Investigating corruption? No chance. It is estimated that there are not many innocent people in Taiyuan Prefecture. From the governor of Shanxi to the lower-level officials, I am afraid that most of them have benefited.
The situation is really tense now. Even though Sun Chengzong is well-informed, he is a little helpless. "Hey, those people will definitely not want to spit out the money they have swallowed. Rhett, what do you think?"
"According to the students' temper, if we don't punish them, this matter won't be over. However, the situation in Shaanxi is urgent, and the students don't want to waste more time with them, but someone has to make up for the losses of the Shanxi merchants, and we can't
They divide the spoils and let the students fill the hole, right?"
The more Tie Mo talked about it, the angrier he became, because these bastards still loved the country and the people every day, claiming to be a gentleman, honest and upright.
They are all a group of people who seek fame and reputation, but what they do is not human affairs. Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on them. If the eunuchs had not been eliminated and there were no worries, this group of people would not be so bold.
No matter how difficult the problem is, there is always a solution. Sometimes Tie Mo has to admire the brains of these people. In just half a day, the Taiyuan Prefecture came up with a way to compensate Shanxi merchants for three salt wells, which was regarded as an exchange.
, the most ridiculous thing is that these three salt wells were also taken away from the salt merchants before.
Three salt wells were not a loss, so Shanxi merchants had no choice but to accept them.
...
At the end of September, the imperial court finally collected some money and grain to send to Shaanxi. At the same time, Xuanfu and Datongfu also sent some soldiers and horses.
At this time, the situation in Shaanxi had deteriorated to the point of being out of control. There was no safe place in the entire northern Shaanxi. In the south, the peasant army besieged Xi'an Prefecture. If Cao Wenzhao had not led his troops to withstand Wang Ziyong's main attack, Xi'an Prefecture would have been destroyed.
It has been broken long ago.
Everyone's attention is on Shaanxi, but what Tie Mo is really worried about is not here.
Compared with the civil unrest in Shaanxi, the post-Jinhuang Taiji threat is greater.
Liaodong, Horqin tribe.
Bu He patiently read the letter in his hand. Sitting next to him was his son Wu Keshan.
Previously, my daughter Hai Lanzhu lost her trace on the grassland, and she made inquiries in various places, but to no avail. Now she received a personal letter from Hai Lanzhu.
After reading it repeatedly, Bu He could confirm that this letter was definitely written by Hai Lanzhu himself.
The handwriting can be imitated, but the secret message at the end of the letter that belongs to Hai Lanzhu cannot be faked.
