Cai Mao asked calmly: "You mean, cut Jiangdong's expenses?"

"Yes."

"What's the reason?" Cai Mao said, "Jiangdong is now in charge of Prime Minister Qin. If you want to reduce Prime Minister Qin's expenses, if you don't give a reason to convince everyone, I'm afraid no one will be able to make your own decision."

"The government's expenses are huge. Jiangdong officials robbed grain in Gourong County and forced the people to convert rice into mulberry. Why did they resort to such harsh measures?" Mei Zhili said, "It's all because of the subsidy policy that enriched corrupt officials and made them miserable.

Kill the people!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Ding asked: "Are you sure about the food robbery in Gourong County?"

"It's absolutely true." Mei Zhili said, "My dear sirs, you just need to send someone to verify it and you will know."

Cai Mao said: "In this case, the funds allocated by the Ministry of Revenue to Jiangdong should be temporarily suppressed. Qin Xianggong should know about this matter. He may already be investigating and waiting for his report."

Lu Yihao squinted his eyes. He was like a sharp sword, sitting there giving people the feeling of not daring to look directly at him.

Lu Yihao said: "Waiting for his report? How long will it take?"

As soon as Lu Yihao spoke, the whole atmosphere became tense.

"Do you think that Qin Hui will bring the food robbers to justice if the court doesn't ask questions?"

No one spoke.

Lu Yihao continued: "In my opinion, the Dongfu now needs to send someone who can speak to verify it. Of course, it is related to the national policy of changing rice to mulberry. The person in power is the current minister You Cheng, so just send Dongfu.

I’m afraid the people in the government are not fair and strict yet.”

Lu Yihao never shy away from speaking.

What he meant was that even if someone with the rank of minister was sent there, they would still have to be honest in front of Qin Hui. What could be found out from this?

"We still need to report to Your Majesty. People from the Su Provincial Academy should also go. It would be best for Nie Chang to go by himself!"

What he said was to bring matters to a head.

Zhao Ding stood aside and said nothing.

Wang Cienweng said: "The imperial court is in a hurry to send people there. Can it be that it cannot trust Qin Xianggong?"

"This matter involves the fundamentals of national policy. Are you just pretending to be lying here!" Lu Yihao glanced over, and Wang Ciweng immediately retracted and shut up.

After a while, Zhao Ding said: "That's all we can do now."

Soon, the results of the Zhengshitang's deliberations on Jiangdong were reported to Zhao Ning.

"Send people from the Su Provincial Academy to investigate?" Zhao Ning said in front of all the prime ministers, "With Qin Hui here, is it necessary to send people from the Su Provincial Academy to investigate?"

Lu Yihao said: "The law does not avoid the powerful. Qin Xianggong is the executor of the New Deal, not a judicial person. The court needs to know more information, and His Majesty also needs to know more inside information."

"Since Mr. Lu has said so, let's send Nie Chang to carry my edict."

In the ninth year of Jingkang, August 15th, Jiangning Mansion.

"Li Buzheng, I'm going to investigate." Zhang Yang said.

"how?"

"Wang He did have people return part of the food, but in the end, none of it reached the people's hands, even on June 1st." Zhang Yang said, "And now a worse situation has appeared in Jiangning Prefecture, and also in Lishui County.

Those who robbed grain on the pretext that mulberry trees were not planted even triggered a conflict, with three hundred people in one village fighting with the government officials!"

"What! Three hundred people got into a fight with the government officials?" Li Guang suddenly stood up.

"Absolutely true!"

"How about mulberry cultivation in Lishui County?"

"There are some that have been planted, but basically they are large companies from all over the country. They forcibly purchased farmers' fields at the beginning of this year. They don't plant much per acre, but they have already received subsidies."

"Once this gap is opened, all places will inevitably follow suit. If you take six and give one back to the people, what can the people say?" Li Guang sighed and said, "Since ancient times, people have been afraid of officials. If the people can have a mouthful of food, what else can they say?

what?"

"Li Buzheng, Qin Hui is behind this matter. We should wait for news from the court."

"No! If I continue to ignore this matter, it will cause an even greater civil unrest. When His Majesty the Emperor takes the blame, no one will be able to stop it!"

"That……"

"You sort out the evidence collected over the years, ask all the magistrates of Jiangning Prefecture to come to my yamen, and tell them that there are important instructions for the new agricultural policy!"

"yes!"

In the evening, Qin Hui comforted the Yamen.

A piece of ceramic from Jingdezhen was smashed. Qin Hui said with a cold face: "The magistrate of Lishui County is so brave!"

"Xianggong Qin, calm down!"

Qin Hui stared at Wang He with his sharp eyes: "I have told you countless times to take care of them!"

Wang He said with a sad face: "Xiangong Qin, my subordinates have warned them again and again, but they still..."

"Don't they want to live?" Qin Hui turned pale with anger. He wanted to continue to climb up the ladder by relying on the new policy of changing rice to mulberry.

A Lu Yihao was unusually brought directly from his place to the political hall and placed on his head.

Qin Hui was definitely not convinced!

"Xiangong Qin, there is too much money involved in this matter. They... they simply..." Wang He sweated on his forehead, "No, it's not them, it's us who simply can't control them. Even if they agree on the surface, we can't control them at all."

There are more people below them who are extremely hungry and thirsty. Everyone is taking it, but they don’t feel it..."

Human heart!

Why have so many people ended up miserable throughout the ages?

Are they not smart?

If a person can defeat greed, he is no longer a mortal.

Qin Hui took a deep breath and sat down again, his mind spinning rapidly.

"Send someone quickly. Anyone who robs food in the county will be caught here by the county magistrate!"

"Xiangong Qin, they are all our people, this..."

"If you don't go, I can only blame you for this crime!"

"Yes! I'm going to go right now!"

On August 23, Qin Hui was practicing calligraphy in the backyard when a secret letter from Hangzhou Prefecture was delivered to him.

This is an investigative report on Qian Yuqing’s conversion of rice to mulberry in Hangzhou Prefecture.

After Qin Hui read it, he couldn't help but frown.

"It seems that Qian Yuqing's political performance in Hangzhou Government is pretty good."

However, Qin Hui is still confident. He is in power, has a higher position and more power than Qian Yuqing, and can mobilize more resources.

Now it's just a little incident that happened. At least Qin Hui is in Jiangning. From the point of mentioning the Criminal and Prison Department, the local Su Provincial Department will never dare to talk nonsense.

After arresting those county magistrates and convicting them on the spot, they might as well kill them, and then plead guilty to Guan Zhao's family.

Based on his understanding of the Zhao Guan family, the Zhao Guan family would not pursue the case at this time, and would even think that he had done a good job in killing and left a good reputation for being daring.

As for the broken system, let it be broken, let the Admonition Yuan spray it, and let the Yushitai impeach it.

I, Qin Hui, am afraid of this, can I still climb to this position?

"Mr. Qin." Wang He hurried in.

"Have everyone been arrested?"
