Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 221 Windfall
Yun Qinghong's brows were furrowed tightly, his hands clenched into fists without even realizing it, the voices of his father and brothers rang in his ears, but his thoughts had gone far away.

Why is this happening?
There was an accident in the Yao family in the previous life, but there was no tax corruption involved at all. The crimes revealed were nothing more than robbing the family property of the sea merchants, accepting bribes, and oppressing good people. Prince's people.

But in this life, not to mention that the Yao family's accident happened so much earlier, and such a serious case was involved.

Now, not only the Yao family will be exterminated, but even the entire Jiangnan officialdom will be reshuffled.

And it greatly hit Cai Xiang's power.

Of course, this is a great thing for the future of the Song Dynasty.

But for him now, it may not be good.

According to his thinking, the Yao family's accident happened at the end of the year, and within half a year, he can mobilize good people, and then make the Jiangnan case bigger, so that he can insert people in Jiangnan.

But now, he just came back, and he didn't have time to do many things. Now, he doesn't have any suitable people on hand.

Moreover, the Yun family is the in-laws of the Yao family, even if he has someone, he can't get involved.

As for Jiangnan's current staff, it will be very difficult to deploy staff in two or three years.

In two or three years, right!
"Sanlang." Seeing that Yun Qinghong did not respond, Yun Shilang said.

Yun Qinghong was slightly stunned, then raised his head and said: "We can't go, father, you should submit a letter immediately, to avoid suspicion, and refuse the appointment of the officials in charge of Jiangnan this time, this matter, our family must get rid of it."

Yes, he almost overlooked one thing.

This year, there is a catastrophe in the south.

The worst flood in a century.

With so many changes in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, when the floods came, the pressure on those officials was even greater.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry now, he should take a step back and let the Yun family withdraw, and then find someone to start with the Ministry of Industry.

At that time, when there is a flood, people will naturally be inserted in it.

At the same time, in Hangzhou, beside the West Lake, in the original Li Xiang's garden.

Zhao Hao stood by the West Lake, looking at the lotus in full bloom in front of him.

She flicked her fingers on a purse that was so rough that she couldn't tell what was embroidered on it, her brows were slightly frowned, and her expression was sullen.

At that time, when he checked the taxes, he just kept thinking about what Yun Qinghong said, but he never expected that such a big secret would be found out.

At that time, seeing the gap between the two ledgers, the light and the dark, Mr. Gao directly complained and cursed.

He didn't understand the twists and turns in these ledgers, he only understood after listening to Mr. Gao's explanation.

Liangzhe Road has been doing well in the past few years, and coupled with the income of the company, its annual tax revenue is between 500 million and [-], which is a huge amount of one million.

And this is not the biggest harm, the biggest harm is that the tax on the two Zhejiang roads has been reduced or exempted, and a quota impression has been formed on the accounts of the household department. If the two Zhejiang roads encounter a famine, If the tax is reduced again, the amount paid will be less. After a few years, a regulation will be formed, and it will form a mark in the household department that the amount of tax paid by Liangzhe Road over the years is no more than this. Even if the emperor wants to look at the data, the officials of the household department As long as you take out the routine data from previous years, you can fool the past.

Then, the huge difference can fall into the pockets of others without anyone noticing.

Even, they can move their hands and feet even more. At that time, I'm afraid it won't be a gap of a million.

Thinking back to the previous life, the frontier army was severely suppressed and had to deal with the invasion of the Rong people, but these people raised themselves to be extremely fat.

Zhao Hao's breath was stuck in his heart and he couldn't let it go.

This kind of thing, a person surnamed Yao alone, or even the supervisor of Liangzhe Road, and the prefect of Hangzhou prefecture can't do it together. It must be someone from the household department and someone above.

However, if you want to investigate further, those people will kill them.

In other words, they understand that even if they say it, they will die. If they don't say it, maybe they can wait until someone comes to save them.

However, even though those people didn't say anything, Zhao Hao also knew who the person above was.

It's Cai Xiang Cai Bing!
"Major General." Old Liu was full of joy, and hurried over to Zhao Hao, and whispered, "I found it."

Zhao Hao's expression changed: "Where is it? How many are there?"

"At the bottom of the lake, Major General, come with me." Old Liu whispered excitedly: "There are too many."

too much?

Zhao Hao didn't ask any more questions, and followed Lao Liu.

This garden occupies a huge area, and the lake is surrounded by a mile or so to enter. Three lake-watching towers were built beside the lake.

Taking Lao Liu with him, he entered from the most secluded Lake Watching Tower, walked around two partition walls, and saw a hole in the ground.

Going down from the cave, after walking more than ten meters, there is a huge dark room.

It was packed to the brim.

Half are copper coins, half are large silver ingots of 100 taels, and there are two boxes of gold.

Seeing Zhao Hao coming in, Zhao Niu, who had been counting, got up and said, "What the hell, this corrupt official! Before the copper coins are counted, there are 12 taels of gold and 280 million taels of silver."

Zhao Hao looked at the room full of money, and coldly curled the corner of his lower lip.

He and Chang Baicheng copied the Yao Mansion together. Seeing that there were millions of coins copied out, both of them were a little surprised, and then they shared half of the things privately.

Anyway, if officials embezzle 50 crowns, it is a capital crime, if [-] crowns are stolen, the whole family will be beheaded if [-] crowns, and if [-] crowns, the entire family will be exterminated.

Originally, he thought that so many things had reached the peak, but when Mr. Gao said the gap displayed in the ledger, he felt something was wrong again.

It's more than 100 million guan a year, and the money spent by the third prince when he forced the palace was only a million guan.

Even if everyone divides it together, the Yao family shouldn't only have so much money.

At this time, the boss of Moxiangyuan who had been cooperating with them came to him for tea.

While expressing his gratitude, he mentioned this garden, saying that this garden was originally owned by Li Xiang, a good friend of his employer's family, and was forcibly seized by that surnamed Yao. If General Zhao finishes searching, can he resell it to him?
Search finished?
Although this garden belongs to the Yao family, but the Yao family is just treating it as a separate courtyard, and has never lived in it. Why do you want to search it out?

After arriving in this garden, Zhao Hao understood where the weirdness was.

Such a beautiful garden, anyone who owns it will move in, but the one surnamed Yao has always treated it as a separate courtyard, and even his family members are not allowed to come here.

Why?

Moreover, why did the shopkeeper surnamed Zheng remind him that the weather in the south this year is not good?
He naturally knew that there would be a catastrophe in the south this year. The flood was so great that many places in the south had no crops. Therefore, only one-third of their military rations and uniforms were sent to the frontier army this year. In winter, they froze to death. Many soldiers starved to death.

Therefore, in the battle in the spring of next year, he was caught off guard.

That's why, regardless of his disregard, he pulled down all the rotten officials, and after letting Mr. Gao take over, he urgently activated some capable officials left by Bai Shi, in order to prevent the flood from coming. These officials also wanted to be greedy for money, so that the disaster was artificially enlarged.

But the person surnamed Zheng didn't remind him because he knew about it, so why?Could it be that you just want to have a relationship with him?How about selling clothes and food to him directly?

Of course, both of these are very welcome.

What the frontier army lacks most is these two things. If there is another line that is not controlled by the court and not controlled by Prime Minister Cai, at least it can solve the urgent need.

Water, in his words, he mentioned extra water a few times, and specifically mentioned that the water in the West Lake has risen.

He said that his employer and the old owner of the garden are good friends...

Sure enough, there is a secret room in the building by the lake.

"Major General, shall we tell Master Chang?" Old Liu asked softly.

Both sides ransacked the house together, the big and small officials in Hangzhou copied it down, and the two took it privately and divided it equally, so here?

"Don't tell anyone, don't tell anyone, let our people come and secretly transport the money out." Zhao Hao said lightly, "This, let's treat it as military funds that the imperial court compensates us."

According to the investigation above, this place is extremely secretive, the person surnamed Yao didn't even let his family members come here, presumably he didn't even tell his family members.

But now it seems that Mr. Gao is a good man, but lacks in courage and ability. Coupled with the emperor's temperament, if the case is sent to the capital, I am afraid that Cai Bing will really mess it up as those people wished. .

Even if the money is taken out, it is unknown where it will end up.

That being the case, he might as well take it directly to prepare.

Now he has directly confronted Cai Bing about this matter. This year's catastrophe, Cai Bing will definitely make a big fuss.

With this money, plus the line provided by Zheng, next year's war will be guaranteed.

As for Chang Baicheng...

The property copied from the city of Hangzhou was 400 million guan, and the two shared 180 million guan in private.

For Chang Baicheng, it was already a huge windfall.

enough……

As soon as Zhao Hao's voice came out, Lao Liu, Zhao Niu and Zhao Fu immediately showed joy.

They are all the guards of Duke Zhen's mansion, and they have followed Duke Zhen and Zhao Hao at the border all year round, so they naturally know the suffering of the border army.

Outsiders often compare Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion with Rong Guo Gong's Mansion, and think that the two mansions are equally rich, but this is not the case at all.

The Gyeonggi camp managed by the Rongguo government has good welfare and high military pay. All the soldiers are supported by the imperial court. There is no need for Rongguo to pay for it himself, so they can naturally accumulate huge wealth.

But the frontier army was bitterly cold, and was often deducted. Even the personal guards of the Duke of Zhen had to support himself. Except for the income of the Juetian, the income of the Duke of the Town had not been moved, and the rest of the income had been posted to the army.

Therefore, no one can compare the prestige of the Zhao family of the Duke of Zhen in the frontier army and the city, but the Duke of Zhen's mansion really has no money.

This time when the house was raided in Hangzhou, most of the 90 guan belonging to Chang Bai (and some would be divided up) could fall into his own pocket, but what Zhao Hao divided here, after he got it, he gave it to the border town.

Now, the money here does not need to be divided or handed over, which is a great thing for the frontier army.

Zhao Hao is right, this is what the imperial court owes them to the frontier army!
Zhao Hao glanced at the happy expressions on the faces of several people, and unconsciously smiled, and said to Old Liu: "Go and meet with Manager Zheng, talk to him, how to buy their clothes and food, and how to give them away. The best thing is to establish a long-term relationship, well, you can also tell them that we produce fur medicinal materials, if they have merchants, they can collect them, and we will open the checkpoint and let them pass."

After Lao Liu responded happily, Zhao Hao added: "However, we have to share some profits with us."

Seeing that Old Liu responded more cheerfully and ran out, Zhao Hao touched the purse again with his fingers.

The businessman is rich, he has finally seen it now.

It's no wonder that she racked her brains to do business in her previous life, but unfortunately, when she said that the medicinal materials and furs in the north can make a lot of money, he only took her as a joke...

I don't know, has she returned to Beijing now?

In early April, he sent people to the tea garden, and the people there said she had already left.

gone……

Did not wait for him.

That's right, it's already May now, and he still can't get away...

"Major General, it's not good." Zhao Shen rushed in from the outside and shouted, "The man named Yao, the prefect of Hangzhou and the inspector of Liangzhe Road were poisoned to death."
