Chapter 94: Warehouse affairs, no more problems
Faced with the special period of internal and external difficulties and frequent disasters, Emperor Chongzhen's precious time and energy could not have been wasted in the court.
If you argue with the Ming Dynasty's civil servant group or simply fight for it, it will not bring about substantial changes except wasting your life.
"The Emperor... Mr. Xu and the others are here."
Wang Chengen walked towards the Imperial Platform of Xiyuan, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen who was lying on the chair.
"Present."
Emperor Chongzhen, who closed his eyes and rested, said, "Come on two wooden benches and give seats to the two families."
"Here!"
Wang Chengen responded immediately, then reached out and signaled, calling the eunuch who was accompanying him to summon him, and the wooden benches who moved the wooden benches.
During these days, Emperor Chongzhen was a little tired of busy dealing with various government affairs.
Even if you work harder and self-restraint, even if there are many problems encountered in the Ming Dynasty, you should still relax when it is time to relax.
The Great Wall cannot be cultivated in one day.
The many problems exposed by the Ming Dynasty today have been accumulated over the years.
Even if Emperor Chongzhen is capable, he will not be able to see results in a short period of time.
Govern the Ming Dynasty.
Rescue the Ming Dynasty.
Reviving the Ming Dynasty.
In the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, he was ready to fight a protracted war.
"My memory...Xu Guangqi, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"My memory...Sun Ju, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
On the side of the Imperial Platform of Xiyuan, the voices of Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang sounded, and Emperor Chongzhen, who closed his eyes to rest, did not get up.
"No gift."
Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the recliner, held his forehead and said, "Sit down. I have some things to say when I summoned the two Qing families this time."
Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang looked at each other, then stood up and lifted the sleeves of the robe, sat down next to the wooden bench, but they felt different emotions in their hearts.
As for the changes in the current situation, they are under a lot of pressure.
"The Jingtong corruption case supervised by the Jinyiwei has been closed."
Emperor Chongzhen slowly opened his eyes, looked towards Taiyechi, and said calmly: "All the corrupt officials involved are all under the verdict, and they are said to the death in the north and Zhili.
All their families were exiled to Liaodong, and all their property under their names were scribbled by the Jinyiwei and handed over to the inner treasury.
The two grain halls in Jingtong and all the officials under their jurisdiction, and the two noble families also submitted memorials and added them in place.
Now the corrupt officials and thieves and rats that have been bred in Jingtong Second Warehouse have been wiped out. What the two Qing families have to do in the future are clear, right?"
The grain stored in Jingtong Second Warehouse is the strategic grain reserve of the State and is used only if wars are launched against the outside world or if an emergency situation is stable.
Faced with frequent disasters, Emperor Chongzhen attached great importance to the second warehouse of Jingtong, and even planned to add military storage warehouses around the entire Northern Zhili, and was also steadily advancing.
Killing a group of corrupt officials involved in the reserve of grain will have a great shock to the Ming Dynasty.
"Report to Your Majesty... I will do what I will do after I know."
Xu Guangqi stood up, bowed and said, "The new regulations set before will be implemented in Jingtong Second Warehouse to effectively ensure the warehouse affairs and there will be no situation.
In addition, I discussed with Shangshu Sun. Taking this opportunity, I can first prepare for the construction of a new military storage warehouse in Hejian Prefecture and Tianjin Zhili Prefecture, and have a grain storage room outside.
In this way, the warehouse affairs that Your Majesty cares about will gradually stabilize, and strive to ensure that the State will not be too passive when encountering any problems."
"But Your Majesty..."
Sun Juxiang followed closely, stood up and bowed, "If you want to fill the deficit of Jingtong Second Warehouse as soon as possible, you still need to make up for the money you need to check..."
When he talked about this, Sun Juxiang didn't say anything more. After all, all the money he had been searched was filled with the treasury, and it seemed not easy to ask the emperor to take out the money.
"I have a good idea to build a new military storage warehouse, so I will implement it as soon as possible."
Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: "However, the inspection system must be clear and in place. We must seek corresponding experience in Hejian Prefecture and Tianjin Zhili Prefecture.
It is necessary to ensure that one or two of the food stored must be missing.
The officials selected must be screened through layers of screening, and corruption cases like Jingtong must never happen again.
After the corresponding mechanism was improved, the eight prefectures under the rule of Northern Zhili all implemented the construction of military storage warehouses.
Food is the top priority of the dynasty, and it is necessary to ensure that everything is foolproof.
As for the deficit of Jingtong Second Warehouse, I have ordered the Dawei Factory to use all the household wealth searched to purchase affordable grain in batches. At that time, the batches will be handed over to the two grain halls of Jingtong.
The account of grain entering the warehouse must be implemented in place. I will regularly condemn the factory and guards to various warehouses under my jurisdiction to conduct secret investigations."
Facing the Ming Dynasty, which was full of trouble, even though Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang were good ministers who were willing to do practical things, it was difficult to guarantee that the people under him would be blinded by money.
In the officialdom under corrupt officials, if you are not for promotion and wealth, why should you study hard for more than ten years, work hard to get high school and enter the Ming system?
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decided to add a few more chains to ensure that there would be no problems with the Ming Dynasty's warehouse.
"By the way, when the money that was seized was exhausted, the Dawen Factory would hand over several batches of grain storage to warehouses in various places every year."
Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "So don't blame me for tightening the snare for you and making a clear statement for the people below. Those who dare to get involved in the warehouse in the future will not be sentenced to the extreme this time. Once it is found out, the three tribes of the Yi tribes!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When Sun Juxiang heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he immediately bowed and said, "I will definitely send Your Majesty's intention to two grain halls in the form of a official letter.
But Your Majesty, how much grain storage can be transferred to the factory every year? If there are too many, I should raise additional military storage warehouses for other prefectures as soon as possible."
Compared with the factory and the factory's temporary inspection, Sun Juxiang cared more about the big factory, which could hand over a batch of grain storage to the warehouse under his jurisdiction every year.
If you don’t spend the money from the treasury or the money from the treasury, you can buy a batch of grain storage every year. Even if you wear a tight hoop on your head, what is it?
"The amount is not clear yet, but it will not be small, it depends on the situation in various places."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up, looked at Sun Juxiang and said, "Sun Qing, we have selected and trained a group of capable officials who are specializing in warehouse affairs for the dynasty.
I will give you the heavy burden of warehouse affairs, so don’t let me be disappointed.
Xu Qing, prepare and go to Xishan with you. I want to go to Xishan to have a look."
Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved when the warehouse affairs were in charge of Sun Ju and Xu Guangqi.
If all the prefectures under the rule of Northern Zhili could be built and a relatively clean and efficient team could be built.
In the future, it will radiate to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places, which will help future disaster relief and rebellion.
With the shock of the Jingtong corruption case, Emperor Chongzhen felt that within three years, there would never be any problems in the warehouses under the jurisdiction of the State Administration.
Once the three-year temporary stabilization period is over, the situation in the entire court will be completely changed, and the issue of administration in the state can be greatly alleviated.
