Chapter 498 Over time and huge floods
There are not many vicious cases in Chang'an City that Di Renjie needs to investigate and deal with. In addition, the power to review files has been taken over by other Dali Temple ministers, which has led to Di Renjie being very leisurely recently.
Think about it, whenever Di Renjie starts reviewing the files, he can always find inappropriate things from the files submitted from the local area.
The files reviewed by him were very likely to be beaten back for re-examination, which led to great dissatisfaction among local officials with Dali Temple.
They even clamored for a time that the Dali Temple ministers who only know how to sit in the middle of the public and point fingers down to investigate the case themselves.
As a result, Di Renjie went there for half a year. During this period, seven local methods were found to be careless about human life. According to the Tang Dynasty's laws, four were killed, two were rushed to Lingnan to fish, and one went to the Western Regions to guard the border.
The seven county magistrates were evaluated as subordinates at that time, which means that the lightest punishment for these people was also demotion and retention.
The people were very happy and once regarded Di Renjie as a god-like figure. However, in such a good atmosphere, Di Renjie, the head of Dali Temple, lost the power to review the files.
It is not that he deprived him of his review power, but just smashed the Shaoqing of Dasi to assign official duties. When he arrived at Di Renjie, there was basically no official duties to be assigned.
So the other three Dali Temple Masters were often busy until late at night, and only Di Renjie was doing nothing in his gallery to ponder the methods of Yunchu's management of the place.
In the yamen of Dali Temple, no one dared to blame Di Renjie for his idle life. In the eyes of these officials, if Di Renjie gets busy, it will be a disaster for everyone in Dali Temple.
Therefore, Di Renjie once again became famous, and even the emperor heard about his ability to judge cases.
The reason why the emperor knew Di Renjie's ability was of course a gentle and one-handed operation. When others thought it was a sign that Di Renjie was marginalized.
After gentle re-editing, the story became what it is now. Di Renjie is the only useful official in Dali Temple. As for others, they are naturally all wine bags.
Even so, the Dali Temple Minister Xin Mao would pretend to be unable to hear it. These small humiliations from the people were nothing to him. If Di Renjie was completely relaxed, it would be the greatest irresponsibility to the Dali Temple and even local officials.
When potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers and pumpkins worth ten thousand yuan appeared in Chang'an people's sight, the whole Chang'an was boiling.
Everyone is searching for the memories of these crops in their minds.
Unfortunately, their minds were empty and nothing.
So a censor used this matter as an example of Yun Chu teasing the world and reported it to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could punish Yun Chu, a county magistrate who was ruthless.
Some people also think that Yun Chu is ill-hearted and adds unattainable prices to things that do not exist and tease people all over the world.
Li Zhi had long been accustomed to such impeachment after seeing it. The previous hybridization incidents were even worse than the current high-priced crops.
However, the huge cabbage that Yun Chu took out in the court at that time still made everyone shut up.
Things are so strange. Once many things that are beyond people's understanding are proven by physical objects, everyone will immediately forget their previous suspicions and instead express a strong desire to support them.
Li Zhi felt that the high-priced crops would have a great chance of reversal in the future, so he decided to put this aside so as not to maintain his supreme face when Yun Chu really took out these things and put them in front of him in the future.
Every spring, it is time for Hu merchants from the Western Regions to gather in Chang'an.
They usually leave the Western Regions from autumn and drive the camel caravan all the way to Chang'an. After experiencing a severe winter, they arrive in Chang'an in spring and start their own business.
Then they stay in Chang'an from spring to late summer, and then drove camels back to the Western Regions in winter with the goods purchased from Chang'an, so that they could avoid the worst sandstorms in the desert Gobi.
Many Hu merchants have already formed a habit in the process of doing business with Chang'an, and they go in spring and autumn, like migratory birds.
This year, when the Hu merchants were preparing to go to Chang'an to trade again, they were guided to Qujiangli by the yamen runners of Wannian County.
At this time, the city defense fortifications sunken in Qujiang had been completely completed. The people in Qujiang even poured water into the sinking tunnel. The water surface was not high, but it could effectively isolate the connection between Qujiang and the outside world.
Qujiangli has now become a distribution center for Hu merchants.
The reason why Hu merchants are not allowed to rush camels into Chang'an is that the entire Chang'an City is carrying out a vigorous city-wide health campaign.
Camels, such as dirty and odorous animals, are naturally not allowed to enter Chang'an City.
The placement of the Hu people's goods in Qujiang can effectively ensure that their goods are not subject to accidental losses, and at the same time, it can truly build Qujiangli into a lifang dominated by Hu merchants' trade.
As long as the Hu people stay in Qujiang for a day, they will always leave some money for the people in Qujiang. Moreover, the empty houses of the people here can be used as warehouses or inns, and continue to make a fortune for them. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0
The most important thing is that Qujiangli is ten miles away from the gate of Chang'an City. The distance is not far or near. The best way is naturally to ride a carriage specially made by the people of Qujiangli, so that you can make another profit.
As for goods transfer and fighting, the most profitable thing here is that it needs to be divided equally with Chang'an County.
It seems that these businesses are all about copper coins, but these copper coins have allowed the people in Qujiang to obtain good living in addition to making bricks and tiles.
Yun Chu knew very well that even if he was driving a carriage to pull people into a small business like Chang'an City, there was no problem in supporting a family of six.
Many times, what local governments have to do is do this kind of thing that relies on their own power, similar to taking off their pants and farting.
Li Hong shook his head and said, "No, my mother didn't tell me this way. She said that protecting the interests of the people around her is the first-class, and when protecting the interests of the people in the world, the people in the world are blind and cannot see them."
Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "Once in the distant West, there was a king who had been doing something against the contrary all his life. When his ministers advised him that if this continued, the country would perish.
Do you know how he answered that minister?"
Li Hong frowned and said, "What did he say?"
