The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 152 Who is the shareholder of Runde Grain Company ([-]-character chapter)
Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Prison.

Mr. Su has already suffered a severe punishment.

Chang Feng asked him a question, and he answered honestly.

Chang Feng asked: "How much financial resources does the Runde Grain Company have? How much grain has been harvested since last autumn?"

Mr. Su replied: "I don't know how much financial resources I have. There are 5 counters in the grain bank. I have [-] taels of silver in my hand."

"Since last autumn, I have bought and sold more than 20 shi of grain."

Mr. Station Cabinet is similar to the business manager of later generations.

Chang Feng was shocked.

There are 20 shi in the grain of a station cabinet.Wouldn't it be 600 million shi for the grain passed by the [-] station cabinets?
Last autumn, the household department received a total of 2000 million shi.The grain purchased by the Runde Grain Bank was worth [-]% of the total number of autumn gifts in the country!
Of course, the total value of the goods is not the total revenue.The profit of Runde Grain Co., Ltd. should be around 37 taels based on the difference between the price difference of four yuan and one stone, and the price difference of five yuan and one stone!

(Note: The Ming Dynasty implemented the one-twenty-six money system)
This is a shocking number.

Chang Feng asked: "Is your food all bought from local officials' stolen food?"

Mr. Su replied: "Almost all of them. But people who come to sell food will not take the initiative to reveal their names and official positions."

"Where the food is placed, who knows if it is dirty or clean. Anyway, it tastes delicious when you eat it."

Fatty Xu interrupted: "Is it the stolen food that you can't count?"

Mr. Su was silent.

Chang Feng asked: "Such a large amount of grain and rice has been handed over. It needs a huge warehouse to store grain. You borrowed the Tongzhou warehouse, right?"

Mr. Su replied: "Exactly. All the grain from our grain bank is temporarily stored in the Tongzhou warehouse of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Chang Feng asked: "So, someone in the household department was bribed by you? Who is it?"

Mr. Su replied: "I don't know. Only our shopkeeper knows."

Chang Feng asked the most critical question: "Who is your big shopkeeper?"

Mr. Su said a name: "Yang Mo, the clerk of the Shandong Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Hukou."

Scribes have no job or title.

Under the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, there are thirteen Qing officials, Zhaomosuo, tea horse department, military storage warehouse, and wide storage department.

Each official cleansing department has a number of officials, two principals, one Yuanwailang, and one doctor.

Now there are only 96 household officials in total.

The financial accounts of the 13 provinces in the two capitals are vast. 96 people can't manage such a big mess.

There are more than 830 scribes in the Ministry of Households who actually handle affairs.To put it bluntly, the clerk of the household department is the secretary and accountant of later generations.

Of course, they are the kind of secretaries who actually do things.Not the kind of unscrupulous secretary who has nothing to do as a secretary.

Chang Feng got up: "Fatty, it's late at night. Let the brothers go back to rest first. Let's go to the household department early tomorrow morning. Invite that Yang scribe to come to the prison for tea."

In the early morning of the next day, the official room of the official secretary of Shandong Qingli Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

There are dozens of tables in the huge public room.Behind each table sits a scribe in commoner clothes.

The scribe Yang Mo is negotiating with the Li Futong of Jinan Prefecture about the write-off of last year's accounts.

Fu Tongzhi is a fifth rank, equivalent to the executive deputy mayor of later generations.Jinan is also the seat of Shandong.Li Futong's status is naturally higher.

But Li Futong was polite to Yang Scholar, who had no rank or job.

Li Fu said: "For other prefectures in Shandong, the accounts of the second year of Hongzhi have been closed for four months. But the accounts of our Jinan Prefecture have not been written off yet."

"Mr. Yang, please quickly calculate the accounts and sign them. I can take your signatures and go to the chief, the staff, and the doctor to write them off at the first level!"

Yang Mo stroked his whiskers, smiling all over his face: "Master Li, don't worry. Have a sip of tea first, and let me take a look."

"Ah! It's terrible! Master Li, the funds for the river treatment in Licheng County of your mansion last year were only accounts, and there were no strings of tickets! How can this be done?"

String tickets are the invoices of the Ming Dynasty, mostly in triple system.

The triple invoices of later generations are the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's string of invoices.I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is really broad and profound.

Li Futong frowned: "I came to see you ten days ago, why didn't you say that you still need the ticket for Licheng County to govern the river account? You only said that the bill from Changqing County and the Chili Booklet from Linji County are missing!"

Yang Mo still had a smile on his face: "Oh, the Li family is in charge of Jinan's wealth, and they often go to Beijing to work in the household department. How would I know that you would be short of this or that?"

The clerks of the household department are like this, smiling in front of their faces, and making things difficult for magistrates behind their backs.How can you force those who come to do things to give benefits if you don't make things difficult?
Their method of making things difficult is nothing more than saying that you lack this list or that ticket.And like squeezing cat urine, he never made it clear once, every time you came, he only said one or two things.

Only by embarrassing others as much as possible within the limited scope of power can we seek personal gain.These bloody scribes know the trick.

Li Futong is a local official who has just been transferred from the Imperial Academy.He didn't know what was tricky, so he didn't give Yang Mo a moistening pen.

Yang Mo made things difficult on purpose.

Li Futong showed displeasure on his face: "Scribe Yang, don't you mean to make things difficult for me? It takes at least ten days to go back and forth from Jinan Prefecture to the capital! I have already gone back and forth six times!"

"I'm the magistrate of the government! I'm not a shop soldier who runs the official road every day!"

Pubing was a postman in the Ming Dynasty, specializing in delivering official documents.

Yang Mo restrained his smile: "I don't like to hear Li Futong's words! I act according to the regulations of the household department's yamen!"

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food. It has great responsibilities, and rules are the most important! If you are dissatisfied with the rules, you can go to the court officials to complain!"

"Although I don't have a rank, I still eat the emperor's food! I eat the king's salary and relieve the people's worries. How can I just sign on your verification booklet?"

Li's family is dignified and dignified as a fifth-rank official, but a little clerk trembled with anger: "You, you, you"

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with.Although a kid like Yang Mo has a humble status, he has real power.

A few changes in their accounts can get magistrates into serious trouble.

They can make the local officials scratch their heads and scratch their heads anxiously without the lake pens at hand!
Yang Mo called Li Futong: "The local officials who came to Beijing to hand over the financial account books all live in the Jingyi Huixian Hall. You can go and ask them how they do things."

When it came to the word "do things", Yang Mo deliberately emphasized his tone.

After saying this, Yang Mo gracefully picked up the teacup.This is officially called bringing tea to see off guests.

The Li family left angrily.

The clerk next to him said to Yang Mo, "Master Yang, that Li just now didn't understand any rules, so he deserves to be the governor?"

Yang Mo sneered: "So, Hanlin officials are not suitable places to work. Those sour literati are suitable to squat in the Hanlin Academy and stay poor."

Although Yang Mo is the big shopkeeper of Runde Grain Company, he earns a lot of money.But he's the kind of person who likes to eat everything.

He wants to earn a lot of money from selling stolen goods, and he will not let go of small income from extorting magistrates.

Don't bite your hand when you have too much money.

Moreover, blackmailing local officials is a rule that the six scribes have continued for hundreds of years.He can't break the rules.

At this moment, Chang Feng and Fatty Xu walked in with a dozen wrestlers.

Chang Feng said loudly: "Who is Yang Mo?"

Not to mention a small clerk like Yang Mo, even an ordinary third-rank or fourth-rank official would tremble when being called by Jin Yiwei in a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

But Yang Mo was unusually calm.He stood up: "The small one is."

Chang Feng said: "Come with us."

Yang Mo told the clerk next to him: "Someone from Dezhou will come over later. You tell him that I have something to do today, and let him come to me tomorrow morning."

Fatty Xu said from the side: "You surnamed Yang, what are you thinking about? You want to come out after entering Beizhen Fusi Prison?"

Yang Mo said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is necessary to follow the law, maybe it will work out."

Chang Feng found that this man was very confident.The confident one doesn't look like a little scribe.

Everyone took Yang Mo to the imperial prison.

Chang Feng gave Qi Zongqi, who was in charge of the execution, a wink: "Old Qi, treat this scribe Yang well."

Yang Mo shouted: "Don't be rough! Master Chang, do you know the ring on my finger?"

Chang Feng looked at the golden ring on Yang Mo's hand.It turned out to be the style in the palace.

Chang Feng frowned: "You still dare to use the things in the palace privately? This is arrogance!"

Yang Mo smiled slightly: "Chang Qianhu is wrong! I don't use this ring for personal use!"

"Empress Zhang gave it to Uncle Shou Ning. Uncle Shou Ning gave it to me!"

Empress Zhang's father, Zhang Luan, has suffered a lot.

In the first month of the 23rd year of Chenghua, Emperor Hongzhi at that time was only a prince.After he married Zhang Fengling, Zhang Luanhong was granted the title of Minister of the Temple.

Just over eight months later, Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne.Immediately promote the father-in-law to be doctor Ronglu and Tongzhi, the governor of the Chinese army.

At the beginning of this year, Emperor Hongzhi specially granted him the military minister of Tuicheng Xuanli, Zhu Guo, Fengshou Ningbo, double salary and thousand stones, and presented it to three generations.

However, the earl is not the end of Zhang Luan
So, if the daughter is married well, the whole family will have enough to eat.

Chang Feng's complexion changed: "How noble is the father-in-law, why would he give you the ring given by the queen to a lowly scribe? You stole it, right?"

A proud expression appeared on Yang Mo's face: "Because I am a disciple of Uncle Shouning's mansion. I even recognized Uncle Shouning as foster father earlier this year!"

"Heh, Chang Qianhu, I know your background. Your wife is Empress Zhang's righteous sister. Speaking of which, we are kind brothers by marriage!"

Chang Feng frowned: "Fart. Are you Shou Ningbo's adoptive son? Why didn't I know?"

Yang Mo seemed to understand the officialdom very well: "Oh, Jin Yiwei is indeed supernatural. He knows half of the things in the sky, but he knows everything on the earth."

"However, no matter how powerful Jin Yiwei is, he is also the emperor's domestic slave! You can monitor the officials, but you cannot monitor the emperor's father-in-law!"

"I guess the Shouningbo mansion doesn't have your eyes and ears. So you don't know what's going on in the mansion!"

Fatty Xu clung to Chang Feng's ear: "Master Chang, if he is really Uncle Shouning's adoptive son, we really can't punish him. There is the face of the father-in-law."

Yang Mo said: "If you don't believe me, you can take this ring to Uncle Shou Ning. Just ask and you will know."

The emperor's domestic slaves could execute any criminal at will.But he can't touch the adopted son of the emperor's father-in-law.

The head of the country has to give face!No way!

Chang Feng stared at Yang Mo.He was curious, how did such a humble person climb up to the high branch of the head of the country?
Half an hour later, Fatty Xu entered the imperial prison: "Master Chang, the head of the country has come in person! He's on duty for Commander Zhu! He let you go over."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Come here in person?"

He and Fatty Xu entered the commander's duty room.

Chang Feng fell down and knelt down: "I'm an official, Chang Feng, I have met Uncle Shou Ning."

Zhang Luan smiled and said, "Nephew Chang Xian, get up quickly."

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were also in the value room.

Zhang Heling hurried to help Changfeng.

Chang Feng stood up and asked, "Uncle Shou Ning, is Yang Mo your adopted son?"

Zhang Luan nodded: "Yes! The adopted son I just recognized at the beginning of the year. I heard he was caught by you and sent to jail?"

Chang Feng replied: "Uncle Shou Ning, I arrested him. He was involved in the Qin case."

Zhang Luan is a confused old man.He said: "Yang Mo has a pure character, how could he commit a crime! I would like to be his guarantor!"

Chang Feng was taken aback: "Are you a guarantor?"

The commanding officer Zhu Ji said: "If the father-in-law of the country is willing to be a guarantor, that person must have been wronged. Let him go!"

Chang Feng hesitated: "But he"

Zhu Ji's face changed: "I didn't discuss it with you. This is a Jun order!"

Chang Feng had no choice but to tell Fatty Xu: "Go, let him go."

Zhang Luan smiled and said, "That's right! My adopted son is a serious businessman."

Chang Feng deliberately asked: "Businessman? Isn't he a clerk from the Ministry of Households?"

Zhang Luan took a sip of tea and explained, "Da Ming Law didn't say that scribes can't do business."

In fact, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the great-grandfather once had a clear instruction: All the princes and officials above the fourth rank inside and outside are not allowed to let their children, family members, and servants open shops in the market, give money and debts, and except for merchants and salt, and sell goods.

This is the Ming Dynasty version of "Officials and immediate family members are not allowed to do business."

However, the great grandfather died a hundred years ago.Who cares about this ancestral teaching?

For officials, if the ancestral precepts can protect their vital interests, it is the golden rule.They will defend to the death.

If the ancestral precepts will harm their vital interests.What ancestral training?It's just papyrus!Wiping the butt is disgusting.

Therefore, 99 out of [-] civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were double-standard dogs.

Zhang Luan claimed that Yang Mo was a businessman.

Chang Feng took the opportunity to say: "I also heard that his Runde grain business is doing a lot of business."

When mentioning the Runde Grain Shop, Zhang Luan, a confused old man, slapped his hands: "Hey! My adopted son is a capable person! His Runde Grain Shop, 1000 taels of silver go in, and 2 taels of silver come out!"

"I also invested in the shares of Runde Grain Company! I have [-]% of the profit of the grain bank!"

Chang Feng was stunned!

This is a typical businessman looking for Xungui's endorsement!

The emperor asked to check Runde's grain store, but after checking it again and again, he found the head of the country's father?Still check the fart?

Chang Feng tentatively asked: "Uncle Shou Ning, do you know when the Runde Grain Group will make a fortune?"

Zhang Luan said: "Naturally, that kid Yang Mo has a good management. Forget it, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi invited me to play hemp tags. I'm missing one out of three! I've been delayed for more than half an hour. Let's go first."

After speaking, Zhang Luan drifted away.

The old Guozhang made a horizontal move, and Chang Feng fell into a predicament.

Local officials all over the world used Emperor Hongzhi's decree to squeeze the people and eat their flesh and blood.

One or two thousand local officials can't move.Those who sell stolen goods can't move now.Is no one responsible for this.Ordinary people deserve to be unlucky?

Although Zhu Ji is not popular, he is still Yu Qian's son-in-law.Still honest.

Zhu Ji said: "This matter involves the head of the state, you have to go to the emperor to ask for an order. As long as there is an order from the emperor, let alone a small clerk, you can continue to investigate even the Minister of the Household Department!"

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Thank you Commander for your reminder."

Chang Feng went out and commanded the envoy to be on duty, and was about to enter the palace to ask for orders.

At the gate of Jinyiwei, he ran into Yang Mo who was very energetic.

Yang Mo smiled: "How about Chang Qianhu, I said that you couldn't lock me up for a day. You let me go after just over an hour."

Chang Feng glanced at Yang Mo: "Don't get complacent too early."

Not to be outdone, Yang Mo said, "Hey, I heard that Mrs. Ru of your house is with me. Restrain your own family first, and then take care of others!"

Yang Mo's words stopped short.

Chang Feng was stunned: Yes, he, Yang Mo, is a seller of stolen goods.Isn't Xiaojiu in my family also a seller of stolen goods?
Really colleagues.

It's just that Yang Mo sells stolen goods for local officials all over the world; Xiao Jiu sells stolen goods for snitches and pickpockets in the capital.The little witch is the big witch.

It seems that Xiao Jiu must be forced to give up the business of selling stolen goods.So as not to fall into the truth.

Chang Feng entered the palace to ask Emperor Hongzhi for instructions.Just in time for the small Sutra banquet to be held in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Chang Feng was not ordered to participate in the sutra banquet, so he could not enter the hall.You can only stand at the gate of the hall and wait.

He heard Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng quarrel with Emperor Hongzhi again in the hall.After the quarrel, the monarch and his subjects were still in harmony.

When Emperor Hongzhi got along with his courtiers, he was always right about things and not people.You can quarrel with me, sometimes there are many difficult problems, and you will find a solution to the problem after you quarrel.

After the quarrel, you are still my good courtiers.

This is what Mingjun did.But it was criticized by many people as "Emperor Hongzhi connived at civil servants".

The Xiaojing banquet lasted for half an hour.Chang Feng only waited for a moment before it was over.

Li Guang, who was on duty, came out: "Chang Qianhu, the emperor let you in."

Chang Feng entered the hall and kowtowed to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Get up. How's the case with the Runde Grain Company going?"

Chang Feng replied: "My Majesty, it is very difficult to investigate this case any further."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Chang Feng, this is not like what you said."

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Shouning has been involved in the Runde grain business."

Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed: "What?"

Chang Feng said: "I have found out that the chief manager of Runde Grain Bank is Yang Mo, a clerk from the Ministry of Households. Yang Mo is Shou Ningbo's adoptive son Gan'er."

"Bo Shou Ning himself admits that he owns a [-]% stake in Runde Grain Company!"

There is no perfect person in this world.

Emperor Hongzhi was a wise emperor, but he also had shortcomings.One of the disadvantages is that she loves Empress Zhang too much, loves the house and the crow, and expands the power of her relatives.

Emperor Hongzhi fell into hesitation.

Chang Feng was very worried that Emperor Hongzhi would let him rest in peace and stop here.

So Chang Feng used words to induce Emperor Hongzhi: "Report to the emperor. Uncle Shou Ning was born as a supervisor who has read poetry and books, so he doesn't know business."

"I think, someone must have used Shou Ningbo to endorse the business of selling stolen goods."

"The behind-the-scenes mastermind who used the current king of the country has ulterior motives! He needs to be severely punished to make an example of others!"

"So that in the future, corrupt officials and evil officials all over the world will follow suit and try to curry favor with Shou Ning Bo, using the banner of Shou Ning Bo to harm the heavens and justice. That will damage the reputation of the Zhang family and Empress Zhang!"

Chang Feng's words are very tactful, and the subtext is: Your Majesty, your father-in-law did not do evil.It is the evildoers who use his banner.

If the case is not investigated.From now on, corrupt officials and evil officials will all go to curry favor with your father-in-law.Your father-in-law's reputation is rotten on the street!
Even for the sake of your old father-in-law's reputation, you have to let the minister continue to investigate this case.

Chang Feng has been with Emperor Hongzhi for four years.He has figured out Emperor Hongzhi's temper and learned to play tricks on Emperor Hongzhi.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi made a decision: "You continue to investigate the case of the Runde Grain Bank. But it must not affect Shou Ning Bo."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "The emperor is wise!"

　Something came out.Another 12 words will be updated before [-] o'clock in the evening.Riwan can't stand it.I changed my name to Liu Ruan.Because every day is soft.
