Chapter 4053 The future is dark

Liu Ye thought about it and found that although he was a little anxious, it was almost done in three days. Wei County itself was a breakthrough. Li Fu's situation was very clear and his future was very broad. It was impossible to turn to those bureaucrats who were connected to each other at this time.

"When I'm sure, I'll tell you about it." Liu Ye nodded and said.

Liu Ye did not dare to delay, so he quickly took his guard to investigate. Soon a large amount of facts and information was collected, and Liu Ye felt a little numb when he saw it.

As a grain production land in the north, under the adjustment of Chen Xi's talent, it was absolutely good. However, according to the people of Wei County this year, Wei County has no longer reduced production, and it should be considered a failure to collect, but it is obvious that Li Fu suppressed this matter.

At least Chang'an didn't know about this at all. Although the people of Wei County were also complaining about this, Wei County opened warehouses and released grain, and compensated the people who had no income based on the amount of grain output last year. According to Liu Ye's previous memory, Wei County paid the tax on summer grain.

No, no, Liu Ye suddenly remembered something. Their tax was paid in name only, and they are still under pressure in Weijun. They just reported the tax paid and then waited for the end of the year to check.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye was numb. He didn't even dare to think about whether the Wei County Official Warehouse really had food and grass. After experiencing the release of grain and empty payment, the Wei County Grain Store should be empty.

Afterwards, Liu Ye quickly began the investigation based on this well-known clue and visited many people. The people basically did not hide anything from this matter. To be precise, this matter could not be concealed at all, and the number of people involved was too wide.

There is no doubt that the summer grains in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the people of Wei County who planted new seeds were basically out of stock. Li Fu made a quick decision to release grain to suppress this matter, and all the bandit incidents did not really start half a year ago.

To be precise, it only appeared after Xia Mai grew up. In this case, Liu Ye's eyes were already much gloomy, but he still had many things that were not sure about.

However, just as Liu Ye was investigating until the evening of the next day, a team of men surrounded Liu Ye and the investigation team.

The leading county lieutenant, if it were Liu Bei, would definitely know him here, but unfortunately, Liu Ye did not know him. The county lieutenant blocked the front and back of the street and surrounded Liu Ye in the middle. At this moment, Liu Ye's face turned pale, and several possibilities even emerged in his mind.

"After the local people reported that you may be the accomplices of the bandits last time, so let's go with us." Wang Chen, the county magistrate of Wei County, looked at Liu Ye with a gloomy face. The 50-year-old Wang Chen's body was unshakable. Liu Ye understood that the guards he brought might not be able to beat this county magistrate.

"Investigators sent by Chang'an." Seeing the surrounding county soldiers gathered over, Liu Ye decisively took out the talisman he had prepared before he came.

When Wang Chen, the county magistrate, saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and then his face became more evil. "Catch all the live ones, take them down, don't let one go."

Liu Ye was confused and his heart sank, but he did not directly confront him, but surrendered. After all, at this point, Liu Ye had seen more bad things from the expressions on the opposite side. The problem now lies in what happened to the previous wave of Chang'an sub-submissions.

Or, more directly, are there really any investigators sent by Chang'an from the previous wave?

Wang Chen brought Liu Ye and his group of people to the government office directly. Li Fu from the government office looked familiar when he saw Liu Ye. After all, he was promoted from the county magistrate to Wei County and went to Chang'an to report his duties, so when he saw Liu Ye, he had a vague impression.

"County magistrate, we have caught another group of people who may be the remnants of the bandits." Wang Chen clasped his fists and said, "The people he brought are very powerful. If the other party hadn't resisted directly, there would have been more than a dozen soldiers in the county."

"?" Li Fu was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Liu Ye, and the more he looked, he became more and more familiar. At this time, Liu Ye was moving his wrists, looking at Liu Ye with a plain expression, and then a light of inspiration appeared in his mind. He quickly went up and untied the rope for Liu Ye.

"Hurry, hurry up, unlock it quickly, this time it is really an investigator sent by Chang'an." Li Fu was almost crying, and he couldn't untie the rope. He quickly greeted Wang Chen. Wang Chen's silly expression, with a knife, cut the hemp rope open with a few strokes.

"Doctor Liu, sorry, sorry, we have become a little nervous recently and treat you as a remnant of the thief. This time the matter is too big. I have sent it to Chang'an before, but I have not come to deal with it before. Well, the Chang'an investigation team has come and brought us deeper into the pit." Li Fu almost explained in a crying voice, what's going on.

I finally filled the hole that I dug for myself that I didn’t know, and solved it by the Chang'an investigation team who brought me to the pit for the second time. It can be regarded as letting Wei County return to normal. In order to avoid such a thing again, I even asked the county magistrate to lead the team to strengthen the management of Wei County, and eventually arrested the Taizhong Doctor Liu Ye.

At this moment, Li Fu really felt that his future was dark, what to struggle with?

"What the hell is going on? Is there an investigation team before I came?" Liu Ye didn't care about other things at this time and pointed directly at the core of the problem. "Also, what's going on with summer grain this year? How come there will be so many people who will receive it."

Although Li Fu's mentality was broken, he answered quickly in response to Liu Ye's inquiry, "There is an investigation team, at least in terms of the situation I found, it was indeed sent by Chang'an, and the problem is here. This group of people are not here to deal with the problem, but to bad things."

"Where are them?" Liu Ye said with a gloomy face. He dared to do such things, but to what extent he connected the upper and lower parts, Liu Ye felt desperate just thinking about it.

"..." Li Fu was silent, and there were some things that he could not say.

"Did you kill them?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and was silent for a while. He was sure that the personnel sent by him were indeed from Chang'an. You dared to take action, so you have a problem.

"I..." Li Fu opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. Yes, those bad things were killed by him, and the thieves and bandits were killed. The people who dug the pit before were bribed by other counties and the chief clerk who recommended the diggers.

Liu Ye looked at Li Fu. He really didn't know whether Li Fu was trustworthy at this moment.

"How is the reserve warehouse in the county?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and asked.

"It has been all converted into money tickets, and it is officially pledged in Weijun Money House and paid grain tax through Yanzhou channel. As for grain, we use the government's reputation to be the first and then the money is paid. The money is on Weijun Money House. Yanzhou has confirmed that the money exists, and the food should be on the way." Li Fu was silent for a while and said, and Liu Ye felt much more at ease when he heard this.

As long as he still thinks about his career, there is no big problem. What's more, when the summer grain is completely eliminated, he quickly opened a reserve warehouse to avoid people's riots. This actually shows that Li Fu wants to continue to be an official. In this case, even if Li Fu has problems, he is at least trustworthy to a certain extent.

"Is the payment for goods ready to be extended?" Liu Ye asked at Li Fu.

It is obvious that the amount of money pledged by the Weijun Money House is actually the grain tax of Weijun. It is just that Yi Ji, the governor of Yanzhou in Weijun, said yes, the loss on the way I transported it here is a bit heavy, I converted it into cash, you can pay it for me.

This matter is not violated, it is the kind of thing you and I am. As a Zhongyuan agricultural and grain base, Yanzhou has been dealt with a lot of things, and it is also a pleasure to the people.

More importantly, this way of paying taxes is conducive to the unified calculation of national tax revenue. Therefore, there has never been a problem with other prefectures and counties giving Yanzhou money and asking Yanzhou to pay on their behalf. This is only beneficial from top to bottom. So Li Fu stuffed the money to the Weijun Money House and asked the Weijun Money House to send a message to the Yanzhou Money House, saying that it was paying taxes on its behalf.

Yanzhou is just a process, and it is impossible to compare and verify it up and down, and it will only be checked together until the end of the year. As for this wave of debt, it is impossible to pretend to be dead when the tax check is checked. Is it impossible? Is it still necessary to let Yanzhou offset this deficit, which is unrealistic.

However, Yanzhou is not unkind. We will calculate it at the end of the year, so you didn’t pay the money for summer grain taxes. Just pay it together at the end of the year. If we don’t stop it, we will calculate it.

In this way, Weijun has at least half a year of buffering time. After that, there is no doubt that it will embezzle this fund, go to other places to buy grain and grass, fill the reserve warehouse again, and the pledged money will be misappropriated, and you will find a merchant to pay for the goods first, and you don’t even need extra money. Take your time, the logistics speed is not very important, and you can just come before the end of the year, but you can send me a voucher first.

In other words, if Liu Ye came a few days later, Li Fu could actually pat his chest and say that Weijun's reserve warehouse was full because there were certificates to prove that these warehouses were used, but they would be filled again after a while. Now it is empty, just because of the process.

Even if Chen Xi hadn't cut the rice into the feed with one knife, Li Fu could have used other settlement methods to get the rice first, fill the treasury, and then rely on turnover to survive this period of time, but Chen Xi was stuck on this road.

Li Fu sighed. He really felt that his future was dark now. He finally found a route that could avoid all problems and smooth everything with time. As a result, he met Liu Ye as soon as he implemented it, and then basically everything was exposed.

Thinking of this alone, Li Fu felt that his career was basically over. What was even more frustrating was that he was working, wanting to do better and wanting to be promoted. Then when he returned to his hometown at the age of 60 or 70, he was buried in his ancestral tomb, he would have a few circles on the ancestral hall.
