Chapter two hundred and sixty fifth people
Moreover, if Fang Shiyu did not abandon Xin Ping'an, who was the leader, it would be difficult to convince the public. It would be unreasonable to even kill Zhang Tian. Some people may think that the reason why Zhang Tian did such a thing on the grassland was his authorization.
So after this opportunity, the first thing I thought of Ping An was to think of Ping An. When Ping An went to transport the food himself, he found that the food was short of weight on the way.
When he found this news, Ping An couldn't help but beat him up with a brow and sighed silently in his heart, feeling that his luck during this period was really bad. No matter what task he went out to do, there would always be some mistakes.
Of course, Ping An is definitely not that kind. He concealed this matter just because of his own people's livelihood issues. However, he has not yet figured out the cause and effect, so even though his subordinates were very anxious about Ping An, he has not reported this matter for the time being.
But he had already written the memorial quietly and prepared it. He would tell His Highness after he had figured out the whole story.
But just as Ping An was doing these ideological constructions, they finally delivered the food to the victims, but when Ping An saw what you got, his face couldn't help but change drastically.
Because when Ping An was secretly escorting the cars, he found that the cars were very light, and he thought the people who were transporting were short and short, but he didn't expect that when Ping An actually arrived, he realized that the things they transported were all some bran.
Because the weight of a pack of crumbs is much lighter than that of rice and flour, he realized something was wrong at that time.
Now Ping An didn't care about it and continued to understand the causes and consequences of this matter. He quickly wrote a memorandum to report the matter to Fang Shiyu.
Originally, Fang Shiyu was very pleased to have received the news that he had already delivered the food. However, when he saw the note delivered by Ping An, his face immediately changed. He threw the previous note on the ground in anger.
As the saying goes, the emperor is angrily buried in the corpse and bleeding thousands of miles. This sentence is not a casual statement. Even if Eunuch Xi, who is by his side, has been with Fang Shiyu for many years, it can be said that he has watched Fang Shiyu grow up since childhood. However, when he saw Fang Shiyu getting angry, he unconsciously lowered his waist even more ruthlessly.
How can I not understand when I see this word? How could it turn into bran if no one embezzled so much silver?
Therefore, Fang Shiyu directly called the Minister of Revenue to question him at this time.
The Minister of Revenue was originally working diligently with the Ministry of Revenue, and at the same time, the disaster in Jinan, Shandong was a little overwhelmed. However, I heard someone say that Your Highness summoned him without any surprise at that time.
After all, this matter is so big and the impact is so wide that he can't play it. However, although he had already prepared mentally before, he still felt a little trembling when he thought about the difficulty of getting angry soon.
After all, Fang Shiyu has always treated all officials very gentle, but they all know that Fang Shiyu's gentle premise is that he cannot touch his bottom line, and Fang Shiyu's bottom line is those people.
When I thought of this, I couldn't take action on each other. Based on the principle that stretching my head is a knife and shrinking my head is a knife, I simply suppressed all the thoughts in my heart and walked quickly towards the palace.
When the eunuch who came to announce the imperial eunuch, he felt very strange when he saw the reaction of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Needless to say, he should have known that Fang Shiyu was here to hold him accountable this time, but the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was so anxious to attack. Is it difficult for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to be reincarnated?
Of course, the little eunuch came here just to convey the order. No other matter had anything to do with him. He could not follow him slowly.
The Minister of Revenue had just walked into the imperial study room, and at this time a golden note hit the face of the Minister of Revenue. Although the Minister of Revenue was a civil servant, it would not be that difficult to avoid this note. However, at this time, His Highness threw it over that time. If he dared to avoid it, it would be a deception to the emperor.
Therefore, at this time, the Minister of Revenue could only get this hit. After arriving at the imperial study room, he became more expensive.
At this time, Fang Shiyu looked at the Minister of Revenue again and was full of disappointment. In the past, the Minister of Revenue was still a very trustworthy person. Fang Shiyu always felt that the Minister of Works was a very capable and honest person. Unexpectedly, the Minister of Works did such a thing.
However, after the Minister of Revenue entered, Fang Shiyu still asked symbolically. After hearing Fang Shiyu's question, the Minister of Revenue supported his hands on the ground with both hands. Fang Shiyu, who looked up and replied:
"Your Highness, you have never been very grateful. You are willing to give me a chance to explain this at this time, but you can't blame Weichen for this matter, and the amount you allocated is not a problem, but the rice price is rising too quickly now."
"Originally, when we purchased the first batch of grain, the grain we could buy in the past can only buy less than 10% of the original ones. But when the batch of grain we bought out from Ping An Website was purchased, the amount of grain you purchased could not save a few victims at all, so Weichen thought of this method temporarily."
When he heard what the Minister of Revenue said, Fang Shiyu's face immediately became even more ugly.
He shook his sleeves hard and sat back on the dragon chaise where he was getting started. Then he saw the Ministry of Revenue and said in a letter.
I will send someone to find out what you said, but this happened. Why didn’t you report it early?
"Do you think those hundreds of stars and Uncle Liuli deserve to eat bran?"
The man suddenly asked such words in a cold voice, and was kneeling down below. Now, he could feel the cold cold air coming from his knees, but he couldn't help but feel cold sweat from his excitement.
At this time, Fang Shiyu had how many ministers of the Ministry of Works and inflammations had him kneeling down below, waved his hand and directly asked the Jinyiwei beside him to investigate the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Is what he said just now true?
After that, Fang Shiyu seemed to have never seen a household registration in the cabinet below, but picked up the table in front of her and searched it there. Fortunately, she came back shortly after a while because of her high efficiency.
When the Jinyiwei came back, the Minister of Revenue was relieved when he was back, and he didn't need to ask for his knees anymore.
The Jinyiwei was actually cultivated by His Highness in previous dynasties, and his confidants were actually equivalent to a tool man. They could be said to have no feelings, and the only idea in their hearts was to have good funds and the orders assigned by His Highness.
Therefore, Fang Shiyu still trusted the information reported by the Jinyiwei. When the Jinyiwei came back, the Jinyiwei said directly in front of Fang Shiyu that there were really many rice merchants making money behind the national crisis. Moreover, during this drought, the rice merchants actually stocked up on the grain and waited for the price of food, and then took action when the price was at its highest.
There was a not-so-large rice merchant before. Seeing that the rice merchants actually did such crazy things, he used this set to pay for it out of his own pocket and then bought other food to subsidize the people.
It’s just that what that person did can be said to have successfully hindered the interests of other rice merchants. How could they allow that person to put his face in front of them?
So the other rice merchants got together and after discussion, they targeted the rice merchant together. Soon the rice merchant was forced to close the door.
After experiencing this incident, some of the remaining ones were unintentional. Mi Shang did not dare to show up again when they could pass it. They could only close the door. Even if they didn't make this little money, they would not be implicated themselves.
When he heard the news from the Jinyiwei report, the sect leader's face became increasingly ugly. Eunuch Xi, who was familiar with Fang Shiyu, looked at Fang Shiyu's face and knew that there must be a storm coming. He silently lit a candle for the rice merchants who made great fortunes in his heart.
It has to be said that these people are too obsessed with it. In the past, they usually stock up on goods and quarrel with other prices to gain benefits. But now, snacks are life-saving things for the people.
But it would be fine if they did not voluntarily donate, but they took this opportunity to swell prices and storm the national crisis, which led to the lack of food for the people and starving people to death every day.
It's no wonder that Your Highness is so angry now.
Beauty has never been a person who only makes them angry. Since these things are caused by the rice merchants, how could Fang Shiyu, who was provoked by the rice merchants, make them so easy to make a fortune.
So Fang Shiyu issued an imperial edict without hesitation, and soon all the rice merchants were in trouble and were directly confiscated by the Jinyiwei.
As for the rice merchant who stood up and wanted to provide the people with normal families, Fang Shiyu's people also found him at this time, and at the same time made him a temporary Huangsheng responsible for managing rice and other grains.
Of course, Fang Shiyu has always seen a lot of things very thoroughly, so he naturally knew that if these rice merchants were just ordinary merchants.
Of course, they can't do such things, and they don't have the courage to do such things, so many Mi Shangs who can do such things must be supported by someone.
If only those rice merchants did such a thing, Fang Shiyu would not be so angry. After all, the influence of merchants is to value profit over righteousness. Those merchants spend all their thoughts on professional skills, which is nothing.
But what really made Fang Shiyu very angry was that these rice merchants must have supported them by some officials, and it is precisely with the behind-the-scenes support of these officials that those rice merchants dared to do such a thing with such confidence.
And this time, it was not only because of the people who suffered, but also because of their own feathers. Fang Shiyu could be said to have been completely cruel.
Originally, the Ming Dynasty hated corrupt officials the most, and the punishment system for corrupt officials was also very strict. Fang Shiyu thought that the punishment was too hypothetical, so he had never used it. However, after this incident, Fang Shiyu had a thorough enlightenment in his heart.
If this kind of thing is not completely fundamentally solved, then sales may happen in the future. So Fang Shiyu has been directly searching out all the officials involved in rice merchants.
As for the Jinyiwei who had been with Fang Shiyu, they all became busy at this time. Many people knew that Jinyiwei was in and out of His Highness every day. Of course, some ministers in the kilometer could collude with Mi Shang. At this time, when they saw Jinyiwei coming in and out there every day, they couldn't help but feel very nervous.
Fang Shiyu naturally saw the tension of the ministers, but Fang Shiyu did not think that since they dared to do such a thing, they naturally had to pay a certain price now.
Moreover, this time Fang Shiyu completely took a ruthless move. As long as the evidence of the crime was found to be true, Fang Shiyu would send them to the street without hesitation and let the people deal with it.
I have to say that Fang Shiyu's move is really cruel, because the people hate the big merchants very much because they are not full and don't wear warm clothes. In addition, these big officials are the supporters behind the big merchants, so they can push them to the streets and have some good feelings.
Of course, Fang Shiyu's move also successfully made the people.
The people's admiration for Fang Shiyu is also increasing.
However, what shocked Fang Shiyu even more after the investigation was found was that this incident not only involved some officials in the court, but also involved some secrets.
Looking at the news found by the Jinyiwei, Fang Shiyu showed a sneer on his face, and he slapped the note in his hand on the table, muttering to himself.
"It turns out that human hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant."
If Fang Shiyu was just those officials, although she was angry, she would not be incomprehensible. After all, many of the officials were from poor families and had finally occupied a high position now, and wanted to use the power in their hands to make a fortune.
