- Miao Yan remained calm and sat on a chair.
The scene was full of busyness and panic.
One hundred Qianniu Guards have surrounded the surroundings.
Lei Sheng followed Sun Rui and a group of planners brought by Miao Yan to inspect the land deeds of the Cao family in Huzhou with Hua Sheng and others.
Take them out one by one and check them one by one.
The whole house is doing this.
At this time, even those who are slow to react already know what Miao Yan is doing on this trip.
Passing by?
A break?
Bah!
He is here to cause trouble.
And it¡¯s for big things! !
Prime Minister Cao Yi, the head of a hundred officials, has been holding important positions in Beijing and has been prime minister for many years.
Although he was often criticized in the court for not having any outstanding talents, he was not as good as Nangong Ji in making money, his control over the promotion of officials was not as good as Ma Haoqiu, and his level of trust around the emperor was far less than Zhong Chang.
But Cao Yi has the ability. He has been the prime minister for so many years and has been able to keep the court running normally. This is where his ability lies!
Compared with Cao Yi, Miao Yan is simply inferior by more than one level.
There is a lot of distance between the two of them, even if Miao Yanrong was promoted from the second rank to the Governor of Water Transport, the same is true.
Although Miao Yan was an important official of the Legalists, he was not a fool.
So why did he want to mess with Cao Yi and go against Cao Yi as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan?
This question is worth pondering.
Even Bai Hengwang started to think about it after panicking.
The Cao family is the largest landowner in the south of the Yangtze River, with approximately four to five million acres of land. It can be said that they are an absolutely powerful family.
Even if Cao Yi is not the prime minister, with so much fertile land and so much grain output, the Cao family is the absolute leader in the rice and grain market in Jiangnan.
They want the price of rice to rise, so the price of rice will rise.
They want the price of rice to fall, and the price of rice will definitely fall.
Of course, the Cao family has never done this.
But in the past ten years, Dakang has been plagued by various disasters, which has led to rising rice prices. The Cao family has still made some money from this.
But making money is absolutely not the reason for Miao Yan to deal with the Cao family!
Miao Yan is not a fool.
He is just the governor of water transportation. How long can he be an imperial envoy?
Don¡¯t forget, he is the ¡°temporary imperial envoy to investigate and investigate crimes¡±!
It¡¯s a ¡°temporary claim¡±!
It means that after a period of time, the identity of the imperial envoy will be taken back by the imperial court.
After all, in this place in Jiangnan, you, an imperial envoy who can supervise everyone, are always not suitable.
Didn¡¯t you see that the post of Imperial Envoy that Liu Renhuai held concurrently a few months ago was immediately canceled after he successfully escorted the Northern Navy Governor Zhang Gongli and the Governor of the Water Transport Yamen Lin Zhenyuan to the capital and stabilized the situation?
You, Miao Yan, came to Jiangnan to manage the water transportation yamen. When you first arrived, the emperor gave you a little more power so that you could sort out the situation and take control of the situation as soon as possible. This is a favor.
But you can¡¯t just use this favor to do whatever you want, and you can¡¯t use it to operate on the Prime Minister¡¯s family!
Are you crazy! ?
Bai Hengwang thought about this, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck him.
That¡¯s not right!
How could Miao Yan be crazy?
It¡¯s impossible for Legalists to do things so crazy!
Even the murderous demon king Ge Songdao, when dealing with the people under his rule, doesn't he also do things according to the rules and regulations?
When I was in the capital, I didn¡¯t see Miao Yan often going crazy and going against the ministers.
So, can you think about it the other way around and see that Miao Yan is not crazy?
He is not crazy. Why did he do this? Why did he deal with Prime Minister Cao as soon as he came up?
With this thought, Bai Hengwang made a connection with the big scandal that happened to the Cao family a month ago.
Cao Suping, the eldest son of the Cao family, directly confronted Jiangnan Governor Liu Renhuai because the news was delayed by backward carrier pigeons.
The key to what you are doing is because the imperial court wants to purchase grain to replenish the granary!
This matter is something that the central bosses, including the emperor, attach great importance to.
As a result, Cao Suping hit a snag. Not only did he not sell rice at a fair price, he also called on everyone to sell rice at a fair price.sp;Cao Yi's salary increased tenfold, and he couldn't buy so much land.
Of course Tang Wenzhu knew this, he even knew more.
But he looked at the cold-faced Miao Yan and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "Sir, if you conduct such a thorough investigation of the Cao family, will Prime Minister Cao be dismissed?"
Miao Yan shook his head: "Prime Minister Cao is still Prime Minister Cao, but if he has violated the law, he must be punished."
"But if this is the case, do you know what kind of shock will occur in Jiangnan?" Tang Wenzhu asked, "Can we afford such a responsibility by then?"
"I'll be in charge, I don't need you." Miao Yan frowned, "Answer my question."
Tang Wenzhu moved his mouth and swallowed his words to persuade Miao Yan.
No wonder people say that Miao Heizi has a heart as black as iron!
No wonder he almost killed King De!
Such a Shangguan is an absolutely sharp knife, but I don¡¯t know if he has a happy ending in the end.
It doesn¡¯t matter.
He is an imperial envoy, and he can ask me to do things in a legitimate manner.
If I don¡¯t obey, what does it mean to be a fourth-grade prefect?
Mr. Cao, it¡¯s not that I won¡¯t help you!
After thinking about this, Tang Wenzhu sighed and said, "Reporting to the Imperial Envoy, the Cao family currently owns a total of 530,000 acres of land, but it is very questionable that more than 200,000 acres of land are in it. Then there should be at least Fifty to sixty thousand acres of fertile land are owned by local wealthy gentry."
Miao Yan raised his notebook and said: "But according to the data here, there are at least 250,000 acres of land with no clear source at all! And your Huzhou government is so brave, you dare to allocate unclaimed land to Are they using the imperial court's land as a gift?"
"This was not done by the official." Tang Wenzhu waved his hands with his heart skipping a beat: "At best, the official just calculated the taxes according to the amount reported by them."
"Hmph! You do things secretly and show off, and you don't take any responsibility at all. You even treat the rules and regulations of the court as child's play. A faint official like you should be punished for his crime!" Miao Yan looked at Tang Wenzhu with a murderous look on his face. .
Tang Wenzhu knew that at this point, he could never keep his official title.
And he was also very afraid that Miao Yan would kill him without even thinking.
????????????????? Because of his father¡¯s status, Young Master Cao may be spared his life, but what does he, a little prefect with no power and no backing, mean to Miao Heizi?
But he still didn't stop struggling, "Sir, do you think a low-level official like me has any chance of winning against the prime minister? Didn't Su Feng, the governor of Zhejiang, and Liu Renhuai, the governor of Jiangnan, also not report the Cao family?"
"The inaction of others is not the reason for you to be complicit." Miao Yan looked at him calmly, "Master Liu and Master Su had already submitted their memorials, but the Holy One did not publish them."
Bai Hengwang pricked up his ears and listened to what they were saying.
Hearing this, I couldn¡¯t help but admire these two people.
But he couldn't do it himself, because he needed to go around to please people instead of offending them - the water in Yanzheng Yamen was too deep, and if he wanted to get ashore safely, he could only keep a low profile and keep a low profile.
Tang Wenzhu was stunned when he heard Miao Yan's words.
He didn¡¯t expect that these two big guys were so tough that even the current prime minister dared to impeach them without fear of revenge.
The momentum that had just been built up suddenly weakened.
"Say it!"
Miao Yan looked at him and said in a very calm tone: "I will give you a chance! Tell me everything you know, and then maybe I can be lenient and just dismiss you and expel you."
This means you have to vote for yourself!
Tang Wenzhu glanced at the ferocious Qianniu Guards around him. Seeing Miao Yan's fearless attitude, he also thought of the whole story that Bai Hengwang had just thought of.
It seems that this time the emperor wants to touch the Cao family!
Since I have no escape route anyway, why do I care if I offend Prime Minister Cao?
Let¡¯s get over this situation first and save our own lives! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
