    ?

    The days at the border are hard, but also fulfilling. As long as you don¡¯t want to rest, you can keep your feet on the ground.

    It's completely different from the boring concocted ointment in the Zhenbei Palace to pass the time.

    Although a little tired, Su Jin felt that it was worth it.

    Fighting at border crossings sometimes lasts for three or four days, and most of the night they are still attacking the city. The sudden sound of horns from the army surprises people from their sleep, and sometimes they rest for five or six days.

    Although Su Jin is at the border, except for being captured on the day she came, she can only see the war from the soldiers at other times. She has never been on the tower, and she has never seen the tragic battle between the two armies.  , Down to Xing'er and Xue Lan, she is not allowed to do any risky things.

    The Marquis of Dongxiang didn't keep Su Jin too busy, for fear that she might be tired, but the military doctor asked her for a safety pulse every day.

    The military doctor said it was all right, so Dongxianghou left her alone.

    Let¡¯s talk about the Tongzhou capital. Before Su Jin took a detour to take a boat from the Tongzhou capital, he accidentally discovered the conspiracy of burning grain and grass. After arriving in Yuzhou, he hurriedly asked Master Lin to deliver a letter to the court.

    The emperor did not agree to the fact that Mr. Chonglao was going to the Tongzhou government to check the grain and grass.

    The King of Nan'an was in charge of the Military Weapons Supervisor and couldn't get away, so he handed it over to the Grand Master of Dingguo Mansion.

    The Grand Master of the Dingguo Mansion is going to handle this matter. The old man is at ease, he is a trustworthy person.

    But this time the food and grass were burned, and things were done seamlessly. No one knew whether King Qi and Duke Chongguo were in the same state.

    ? The Grand Master of the Dingguo Mansion is going, and the old man is not at ease.

    The old man Chong Lao is stubborn, and the emperor can only rely on him.

    There are still 30,000 soldiers in Kyoto, and the emperor asked Chonglao to take 10,000 to Tongzhou, but Chonglao didn't agree.

    Chonglao Guogong only took three hundred soldiers, took a detour to transfer three thousand soldiers and horses, and then went to Tongzhou.

    When he arrived in Tongzhou, Duke Chonglao had a headache.

    ? In order to transport food and grass, the Tongzhou government requisitioned more than a dozen civilian ships and burned them all. Those merchants asked the government to pay for it.

    Every day he came to the yamen to make trouble, and the gate of the Tongzhou government was closed, so the magistrate Qian didn't dare to show his face at all.

    ? When Mr. Chong Lao arrived at the Tongzhou capital, let alone investigating the case of burning grain and grass, he was directly blocked by those businessmen kneeling on the ground.

    Those merchants who lost their ships begged the old Duke Chong to be sympathetic to their difficulties in doing business and to compensate them for the lost ships.

    ?Because of emotion and reason, the imperial court should compensate them, but a ship is expensive, the national treasury is empty, and there is a war at the border. It is the imperial court who loses money.

    Promised in public, the court will not be able to allocate the money when the time comes, this is his breaking promise.

    ? Duke Chonglao entered the Tongzhou government office first, and the magistrate Qian had already fallen ill due to the quarrel. As for whether it was a real illness or a fake illness, it is unknown.

    Knowing that Mr. Chong was coming, Zhifu Qian struggled to get up from the sick bed and said, "The grain and grass were burned, why did Mr. Chong come to our Tongzhou capital?"

    Lord Chong looked at him, and said, "What is the magistrate Qian going to do about those business people?"

    The magistrate Qian said with a headache, "The grain and grass were burned, and the emperor is furious. At this time, I reported that those ships were burned, and everyone should pay compensation. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury"

    "I'm also having a headache because of this matter. I fell ill in such a hurry, and I haven't thought of a way to get the best of both worlds."

    If he didn't know that what was burned was not food and grass, Duke Chong Lao would really be moved by Qian Zhifu's urgency.

    ? When Qian Zhifu asked Chonglao Guogong why he came to Tongzhou, Chonglaoguo was just, "The grain and grass were burned, and the border gate was urging for grain and grass. I came to Tongzhou government to send another batch of grain and grass to the border."

    The prefect of Qian was stunned for a moment, and quickly said that the Tongzhou government had no food.

    Chonglaogong didn't say anything, he just said to go to the Tongzhou government granary to see how much grain was left, and then decide how much to transfer to the border.

    Prefect Qian wanted to accompany him, but Duke Chonglao refused.

    ? Chonglao Guogong wanted to make money and the magistrate was caught off guard, but when he went to the grain depot, he found that there was grain in the depot, but not much, let alone the amount that had been burned.

    It is impossible for the imperial court to allocate grain and grass from the state capitals without leaving some for people. In case of some natural and man-made disasters, when the imperial court allocates grain and grass for relief, the day lily will be cold.

    Although he knew that there was a problem with the Tongzhou government, but there was no conclusive evidence to catch the traitor and the thief, and there was no conclusive evidence.

    He also believed that it was impossible for no one to know that so much grain and grass had been shipped out from Tongzhou.

    ? Chonglao Guogong is staying in the Tongzhou government for the time being, pending verification.

    ? Chonglao Guogong stayed in Tongzhou for a day, but Qian Zhifu had trouble sleeping and eating.Today, I have to be served carefully, not daring to neglect.

    ? In order to let Chonglao Guogong leave earlier, Qian Zhifu secretly incited those businessmen to block the place where Chonglao Guogong was staying, begging Chonglao Guogong to let the court pay for their boat.

    This is a tricky matter, and no one wants to take care of it, especially for Duke Chong, it is not his job.

    However, no matter how fierce the commotion was, Duke Chong did not leave, and he really settled those businessmen.

    It is impossible for Chaotang to pay their ship now, and those merchants dare not accept the IOUs, especially now that the situation is turbulent, who can guarantee that Chaotang will not be overthrown?

    Once the court is changed, who will collect the IOU?

    The people don't fight with the officials, they ask the court for money, and if they don't keep it, they will put their lives on it.

    Knowing that it was impossible, Duke Chong did not mention it.

    He called all the merchants together and asked them to write down the value of their ships, write one for themselves, and estimate for each other.

    ? Chonglao Guogong set the value of those ships in an impartial, fair and just manner.

    If the family can afford such a big boat, it must be a well-off family, and the land and shop at home are indispensable.

    If you have a field, you have to pay taxes. Lord Chonglao made a decision on behalf of the court, allowing them to use the loss of the ship to offset the tax.

    A businessman made the calculations and said, "It will take ten years."

    Lord Chong Lao Guo glanced at him and said, "Do you disagree with such a solution?"

    The businessman was suddenly dumbfounded.

    Although this method is not to their liking, but ask yourself, this may already be the best solution.

    It is impossible for the court to pay for their ship.

    This matter has nothing to do with Chonglao Guogong, the prefect Qian borrowed a boat, and if something happened, he became a coward, pretending to be sick and not seeing them.

    Now it's hard for someone to come out to take care of things. If they are too picky and the old man Chong leaves directly, their losses will be in vain.

    Although he was dissatisfied, he endured it, and left with the letter of commitment stamped by the government office.

    ?The matter of the burned ship was temporarily resolved, and it seemed that there was no need for Duke Chonglao to stay any longer.

    It was the prefect Qian's question that made Duke Chonglao suspicious.

    ?There was no food in the granary of the Tongzhou government, and he could not find conclusive evidence to prove that the burning of the food was a conspiracy, and his staying did not pose any threat to Qian Zhifu.

    On the contrary, he is the Duke of Chonglao, a small magistrate is not in a hurry to curry favor with him, but can't wait to let him go.

    This is obviously problematic.

    Chonglao Guogong patiently stayed in Tongzhou Mansion, and secretly sent people to investigate, but couldn't find any clues, so in desperation, he tied up Qian Zhifu's master for questioning.

    When Mr. Chong said that the ship was not carrying grain and grass, but stones and sand, the master was so frightened that he hit the target all over his body.

    Originally, when the old Duke Chong came to Tongzhou, they were uneasy, and he never left, and he still knew about Shizi

    Grand Duke Chong gave him a chance to confess and be lenient, but the master refused to say it at first, but after the dark guard knife was put on his neck, the master took everything.

    At that time, what was transported on the ship was indeed not grain and grass, but stones and sand.

    The grain and grass are not in the granary either, they have already been shipped out bit by bit by Qian Zhifu.

    Prefect Qian belonged to the King of Qi, and the food and grass were prepared for King Qi's rebellion, and they were placed in the granary. No one knew when Prefect Qian was transferred away, and the grain had already been secretly transferred out and placed on the Zhuangzi.

    The food and grass of the two big villages are full, but these are not the same.

    After asking, he found out that Zhifu Qian was not so loyal to King Qi. Some of the grain transported from the granary was secretly sold by Qian Zhifu at the grain store, and the money fell into his own pocket.

    ? As the master testified, Chonglao Guogong led people to surround Qian's Mansion, arrested the prefect of Qian's Mansion, all the people in Qian's Mansion were imprisoned, and all property was confiscated.

    There are also merchants who are in collusion with the state capital and Qian Zhifu, especially those who help sell grain, and the old man has not let them go.

    The grain of the two great Zhuangzis was transported to the border by Duke Chonglao.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
