Emperor Jinghe was thinking about the entire empire, so he was anxious.
Miao Yan only thinks about his Imperial Palace, so he is not anxious.
¡° Even if the big grain merchants are now acting in disguise, the small grain merchants are hesitant to cut corners, and even if hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing famine and their destination is the capital, he is not anxious.
Because he knew that at this time, no matter how generous and merciful the emperor was, he would never tolerate this group of people.
The Gyeonggi region, with a population of tens of millions, is the top priority.
Yesterday, Miao Yan took the time to visit the fertile fields on both sides of the Jinshui River and Bianhe River.
I saw thousands of chickens and ducks happily eating locusts. After a while, the number of locusts in the field was reduced visibly to the naked eye.
The people were so excited that they knelt down in front of him.
Based on this estimate, at least 30% of the food can be left for the people, or even more.
The situation near the capital is much better than the rest of the Gyeonggi region.
This is because the areas around the capital are much richer, and many people raise more than one or two chickens and ducks at home. When hundreds of thousands of chickens are gathered together, the power is naturally greater than in other places.
Miao Yan, who was happy to be back, felt that his bad luck seemed to be over.
As expected, today he received an order from Emperor Jinghe.
After seeing off Zhao Shou who came in person, Miao Yan called his subordinate Sun Rui.
Sun Rui was also a Legalist scholar, but he failed in the imperial examination and was stuck as a scholar, unable to advance to the next level.
So he gritted his teeth and went to the Yamen of the Imperial Palace to work as a food clerk.
As a result, by chance, Sun Rui was appreciated by Miao Yan, a fellow Legalist student. Over the past few years, he had stood behind Miao Yan. He was once Miao Yan's most trusted official, equivalent to Miao Yan's secretary. .
Although the subordinate official was only of the seventh grade, Sun Rui actively made suggestions for Miao Yan and checked for deficiencies, making Miao Yan do many things well.
Compared to Miao Yan, Sun Rui has a slightly gentler personality and is more meticulous in planning things, but Sun Rui will not let go of anyone who deserves to be killed.
"How is the monitoring going on Zheng Fuzhang's side?" Miao Yan asked directly.
"Everything is under control." Sun Rui said, "They are even more unscrupulous now. A few days ago, they transported 1,780 shi of grain to sell. Yesterday, they only had about 1,500 shi at most."
"good!"
Miao Yan nodded, "Early tomorrow morning, gather all the troops and let's start taking action!"
"Are you ready to take action?" Sun Rui perked up.
"Well, your Majesty has agreed." Miao Yan said: "Let us have a big fight and let these profiteers know that there are still laws between heaven and earth!"
"right!"
Sun Rui sneered, and then said: "They can't even be half as good as Prince Yu, and they have lived such a long life in vain!"
"There are not many people in this world who can compare with Prince Yu!" Miao Yan said lightly, and his mind returned to the previous afternoon conversation in the imperial study.
Prince Yu is only sixteen years old and already has such talent. In time, he will be more than enough to become a prime minister.
Pity.
How come such a talent comes from the clan?
¡¡
No words for a night.
The next day, it was still dark, but at Yinshi, people were already queuing up at the gate of the Imperial Palace to enter the city.
The Dakang Dynasty was very tolerant of farmers selling their own vegetables, fruits, and vegetables without having to pay commercial taxes.
But for those things sold by businesses, taxes must be paid.
Every time the goods delivered by a business will be counted at the city gate by petty officials from several yamen, the quantity and amount of the goods for the day will be written down, the merchants will sign and post, and each will save a copy.
At the end of each month, the merchants would take these lists and go to various yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay taxes.
If you evade taxes, you will be severely punished.
Of course, this is not completely rigorous. Many businessmen in the Kang Dynasty were evading taxes. This matter also caused a headache for the court.
Come back to the front.
Today, the grain of "Dayun Company" is also shipped out of the warehouse at this time, ready to be transported to various shops in the Gyeonggi area.
Their warehouse is only about 40 miles away from the capital. It will take a lot of time to transport it to various places in the Gyeonggi area, but?Basically, most people are still very well-behaved and don't dare to ruin the whole family just because they want to take more for a while.
Even if they only have fifty taels of silver a year, their family has to eat, drink, and relieve poor relatives. They also have to spend money on official contactsetc., there are many places to spend money.
If you don¡¯t know how to take care of it, you may end up with little left over in a year or even be in debt.
So now the food supply has more than doubled in one go, and they are under great pressure.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? They also encountered profiteers who were cheating on the quantity of food. Do you think they were angry?
Sun Rui did not rest beside him. He directed people to weigh the stones, and then reported loudly to Miao Yan.
¡°I¡¯m telling you, sir, a total of 700 shi of stones have been found in the grain carts of the ¡®Dayun Company¡¯. The adulteration is very serious!¡±
He spoke so loudly that not only Miao Yan heard it, but also the government officials and people from the Dayun Company nearby.
The government officials naturally had resentment on their faces, but the people at Dayun Company were frightened and trembling.
Wu Hao¡¯s face turned pale with fright. He knew that this time the Dayun Company was in trouble. Not only the third master would be unlucky, but also a group of himself.
But he never expected that this kind of result was simply not something he could bear.
Miao Yan glanced at Wu Hao and said loudly: "Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered us to be honest in doing business, and these grain merchants also promised me to be honest, but they broke their promises and ignored my laws.
Now the Grand Canal people are stolen and obtained. In this very time, they should follow the argumentation of the anti -counterfeit crime. "
"ah!?"
Wu Hao thought he heard it wrong. The next moment he saw a big man in a red cloth coat walking towards him, holding a ghost-headed sword, he realized that this was true.
"Ah ah Sir! Sir! Everything was told by Zheng Fuzhang. It was all his idea, not mine. I am just the executor! You want to kill him! I am willing to provide evidence and accuse him Ah! !¡±
At this time, Wu Hao naturally stopped being loyal and betrayed Zheng Fuzhang hysterically.
But this could not save him. The executioner chopped off his head with a clean knife.
With a "pop", Wu Hao's head rolled to the ground, his mouth still not closed.
"Ahhhh"
¡°Mom!!¡±
The guys from the Dayun Store on the side were so scared that they cried out in fear. Many people knelt down directly, and the scene was full of stench.
It¡¯s so bloody!
It¡¯s too cruel!
Although many of them were brought down from the Grand Canal by Zheng Fuzhang, they still rarely see this kind of simple and direct violence.
It was at this time that they realized what cruelty from the government was. It was definitely different from fighting in the Jianghu. It was the kind that you couldn't escape at all.
¡¡
Note: In ancient times, when a government official went to handle a case, from collecting evidence to questioning and finally going to court, the litigant would have to spend at least tens of thousands of dollars, including fares, donkey fees, shoes and socks, meals, tea, etc. This is still considered The government acquiesced.
The number of government officials is also frightening. For example, Liu Heng, the magistrate of Ba County, Sichuan Province in the Qing Dynasty, recorded that when he went to Ba County to take office, there were as many as 7,000 government officials in the county, which was really shocking.
