Section 4 Encountered an Audit

Since coming to the Tang Dynasty, living is the biggest goal that Yun Ye pursues. As long as those things that are more important than life are not touched, living is his greatest comfort to himself. Anyone who has read history knows that at this time

How cruel Li Er is.

It is said that there are no permanent enemies externally, there is no domestic helper internally, and the country is permanently destroyed. Li Er's understanding of the country and power is far beyond that of Yun Ye. It is not that he does not understand this truth. If the emperor does not want to be corrupted by the extravagant and luxurious life,

You must constantly make enemies for yourself. Now the enemies outside have been almost wiped out. Many tyrannical heroes are preparing to perform dances for themselves in the hotel. Their flattering words and actions are disgusting.

Only Goryeo was still struggling in the civil war. Once the civil war decided the winner, it was time for Tang Dynasty to intervene. At this time, Li Er set his eyes on the country.

Ever since Chen Qun of the Three Kingdoms formulated the "Nine Ranks of Zhongzheng System", this hereditary system of honors has penetrated deep into the hearts of the nobles. Honors are born to be officials, and they will be superior to others as long as they are born.

He made his fortune by relying on the family, so how could Li Er not worry about future generations following his own path? This time he not only wanted to dispel the pride of the established nobles, but also made arrangements for the emerging nobles.

It has always been Li Er's dream to enfeoff princes to protect the royal family. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Er was determined to implement this dream and establish a "hereditary governor" system, granting the title of hereditary governor to kings, nobles, and meritorious ministers, and assigning towns to various places.

, generation after generation, including twenty-one princes and fourteen heroes. Under Li Er's arrangement, after accepting the edict, they immediately went to various places to take up their posts, and from then on they became the reliable vassals of the Li and Tang royal families.

Changsun Wuji has the title of governor of Zhaozhou, Fang Xuanling has the title of governor of Yuzhou, Du Ruhui knows Hezhou. Cheng Yaojin knows Luzhou, Qin Qiong knows Qizhou, and even Yun Ye, who can't be hit with eight poles, now has the title of governor of Zhaozhou.

The title of Yuezhou Governor.

This clearly shows that he wants to divide the world. Originally, Li Er wanted to rely on these means to control the influence of the emerging nobles locally and keep their family's power away from the power center of Chang'an. For this reason, he wanted to rely on his most loyal ally Changsun Wu.

Avoid placing high hopes. I hope he can take the lead in agreeing to such a reward.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji did not act in accordance with the emperor's ideas for the first time. Under the leadership of Changsun Wuji, the heroes who were awarded the title collectively expressed their unwillingness to go to the hereditary fiefdom and take office. As a result, the hereditary governor system came to nothing.

If everyone resists, you can't use a stick to drive them to take office, right? Soon, Changsun Wuji repeatedly requested the emperor through his daughter-in-law, Princess Changle: "I and Your Majesty conquered the world together, and after nine deaths, it was not easy to win."

If the world is peaceful, why are we being driven to another place to take office? Isn't this similar to exile?"

Empress Changsun actually came to the academy under this background. She wanted to express her depression, and it was difficult to be a good person when she was caught between her husband and her brother. Changsun knew that her brother had sacrificed too much for her, otherwise she would have died early.

Things will be settled in the eighth year of Zhenguan. This is the position of prime minister. But this time, his brother did not cooperate with the emperor's policy. Instead, he took the lead in the opposition. This showed that he was unwilling to let go of his rights.

After learning about these events from Li Chengqian's mouth, Yun Ye understood why his eldest grandson climbed Yushan Mountain on a snowy day. If he had given it to him, he would probably go to Tubo to climb the snowy mountain.

In fact, Yun Ye likes the position of governor of Yuezhou very much. Now that he has returned to the capital, Yun Ye has not taken the initiative to resign from this position. After all, Yuezhou has now entered a period of large-scale development. As long as the construction is carried out according to the prepared plan, it will be fine.

Sell ​​houses and land, and at the same time speed up the pace of construction, I believe that a big city will appear on the edge of Dongting Lake soon.

Yun Ye did not resign as governor of Yuezhou, which was the only fig leaf in the incident of Li Er's appointment as governor. At that time, when Changsun Wuji led everyone to resign, Yun Ye was already in office.

During this period of time, Yun Ye did not take any action. He just focused on taking care of the academy, encouraging students who came from humble backgrounds, raising pandas, going to the palace from time to time to greet the queen, and taking Sun Simiao to see a doctor in Jinyang, but did not go to visit him.

Li Er.

The atmosphere in the court hall was extremely strange. The ministers immediately postponed the emperor's decision to go to Mount Tai in Shandong until next year. As for whether he can go next year, it depends on whether the Tang Dynasty has good weather.

This is a time to pretend to be a turtle, to rescue the emperor. There are already rumors about Yun Ye in the market. If he is troublesome at this time, he will be in trouble with himself. Yun Ye wants to dig a hole at this time.

Bury yourself so that no one can see you and no one will come to trouble you.

Damn it, the Royal Yushan Academy of the Tang Dynasty ushered in its first audit. The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the joint inspection. If you add the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Public Security in later generations, this is a six-year audit.

Joint inspection of ministries and commissions.

I originally thought that not only the Yushan Academy, but also the Imperial College and the Hongwen Hall would be audited. Who knew that people said they would be subject to random inspections, so out of hundreds of units in Chang'an, Yushan Academy was the first to be selected.

The person who led the inspection was Wei Zheng, who had a cold, dead face and was abhorrent in his official business. The money and food allocated to the academy by the royal family every year, the salary allocated to the academy by the Ministry of Household Affairs every year, and the investigation of the academy's own property were all listed here.

Xu Jingzong smiled treacherously and ordered someone to bring out a room's account books. He even found the monthly salary distribution forms for gentlemen and the records of the college's student subsidies. The room in Nuo University was really packed with people.

"For Shizhong, the academy has never had an official audit for many years. Now that it is here, we can't just take a quick look at it. Every account book needs to be checked clearly by Shizhong. I forgot to mention that three waves of students have graduated from the academy.

Nowadays, some of them are officials in the Tang Dynasty, some are great craftsmen, some are great craftsmen, and some are businessmen. The payment of subsidies in the early years was a mess, so I put all the money that cannot be entered into the account book.

If you want to find out, you need to check with students who have already graduated."

Xu Jingzong's pulse was very accurate, because in his opinion, as long as the academy hugs the emperor's thigh tightly, it doesn't matter if he offends other people, so he deliberately made an abominable form of "I have loopholes. If you have the ability, you can check it out."

It was just for the emperor to see. It would be wonderful if Wei Zheng could impeach him in the court.

Because of the difference in knowledge and vision, Wei Zheng, who is used to accounting for incoming and outgoing transactions, has no chance of understanding the debit and credit accounting method. He needs a strong understanding of how to balance the debit and credit, and Xu Jingzong spent a lot of time

It took a full two years to standardize the accounting method that Yun Ye roughly proposed. Is their accounting method now? Yun Ye himself seems to be very struggling. Xu Jingzong, as an absolute expert in this field, is well qualified to despise the Ministry of Accounts.

Those accounting gentlemen.

If you want to figure out the academy's accounts, it will take less than two or three years. If you want to completely calculate the students' subsidy accounts, it will take at least ten years. In this era, you want to find hundreds of people who are wandering in the Tang Dynasty one by one.

, that is a fool’s dream.

Besides, some secret accounts can only be shown to the emperor. Who do you think Wei Zheng is?

Wei Zhengjian was a ruthless man. He stayed in the house for a whole day and stayed there all night. He didn't know how many books he had read. At dawn, he went to the canteen with red eyes to buy food, but was told that the meals in the academy were subsidized.

, not to the outside world. Of course, you can’t even drink hot tea if you want. The academy never spends its limited funds on outsiders, otherwise the accounts will not be clear.

The Tang Dynasty was a humane society. Without humaneness, it would be difficult to move even an inch. When Wei Zheng saw the academy feeding the fragrant rice porridge and some cakes to three fat bears who had difficulty walking, he felt very

What made him angry the most was that after Hua Xiong finished eating the rice porridge and cake, the cook took out eggs from the pocket on his white coat and cracked two eggs in each mouth of Hua Xiong who was waiting with his mouth wide open.

After the bears finished eating, they wiped their mouths with a towel, kicked them on the butt, and drove them away to the bamboo forest to continue eating.

When did Hua Xiong have better food than people? There were people who had no food everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Why was he so extravagant and wasteful? Wei Zheng didn't care about his own experience. He did such things many times, even worse than this.

He had seen the ugly face countless times, but the Academy's arrogant disregard for his existence made him feel angry from the bottom of his heart.

The weather has gradually warmed up after the Chinese New Year, and the academy is busy cleaning up the Dongyang River. A big avalanche on a snowy day last year left the foot of Yushan covered with ice and snow. If it melts in spring, the Dongyang River may flood and cause disasters.

Yun Ye and Xu Jingzong are both busy with this matter. Taking advantage of the high water level of the Dongyang River in the beginning of spring and the abundant water, some fields on the dry plateau can also be irrigated from the flood discharge channel. Lantian County officials brought a large number of civilians to repair the waterways.

In order to store water, they even built a huge pond in the lower reaches of the Dongyang River. The gentlemen in the academy who specialized in water conservancy were busy working on it.

No one paid attention to this huge audit team. Due to the poor living environment, the people brought by Wei Zheng could only drag away the account books in the academy on oxcarts and return to Chang'an to continue the review.

Fang Xuanling came here once. He was here to make peace. He hoped that Yun Ye could mobilize manpower from the academy to help sort out the piles of account books. Mobilizing manpower from the academy requires at least the consent of Yun Ye, Li Gang, Yuan Zhang, and Xu Jingzong.

Caicheng, from his words, Xu Jingzong heard that he was weak. The people in the academy checked themselves? He liked this kind of audit.

The reason why Fang Xuanling came was because the flower bear incident broke out. When all the ministers were impeaching the academy for treating the three flower bears favorably and raising them as ancestors, the furious Li Er finally broke out... (To be completed
