Liu Ye thought for a moment. Although he was a little anxious, three days was basically enough. Wei County itself was a breakthrough. Li Fu's situation was very clear and his future was very bright. It was impossible to fall to those bureaucrats who were connected with each other at this time.
"After I confirm it, I will inform you." Liu Ye nodded and said.
Liu Ye did not dare to delay, and quickly took his guards to investigate. Soon a large amount of factual information was collected, and Liu Ye felt a little numb after seeing it.
As a grain-producing area in the north, the situation is absolutely smooth under the adjustment of Chen Xi's talent. However, according to the people of Wei County this year, Wei County has not reduced production, but should be regarded as a complete harvest. But it is obvious that Li Fu will
Things are suppressed.
At least Chang'an didn't know about this at all, and although the people of Wei County were also complaining about it, Wei County opened warehouses to release grain, and compensated the people who had failed to harvest grain according to the amount of grain output last year, and according to Liu Ye's previous memory
According to the content, Wei County paid the summer grain tax.
No, no, Liu Ye suddenly remembered something. Their taxes were paid in name only, and Wei County is still holding them back. They just reported the tax amount and waited for verification at the end of the year.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye's scalp was numb. He didn't even dare to think about whether Wei County's official warehouse really had grain and grass. After experiencing grain release and empty payment, Wei County's granary should be empty.
After that, Liu Ye quickly started an investigation based on this well-known clue, and visited many people. The people basically had nothing to hide about this matter. To be precise, this matter could not be hidden at all, because so many people were involved.
There is no doubt that the people of Weijun who planted new seeds in Yuanfeng's seventh year of summer grain basically had no harvest. Li Fu made a prompt decision to release grain to suppress this incident, and all the banditry 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 gloomier, but he was still not sure about many things.
However, when Liu Ye was investigating until the evening of the next day, a group of people surrounded Liu Ye and the investigation team.
The leading county lieutenant, if he were Liu Bei here, he would definitely know him, but unfortunately, Liu Ye didn't know him. The county lieutenant blocked the entire street from the front and back, surrounding Liu Ye in the middle. At this moment, Liu Ye's expression changed.
He was so livid that several possibilities appeared in his mind.
"After reports from local people, you may be the accomplices of the previous bandits. Come with us." Wang Chen, the commander of Wei County, looked at Liu Ye with a gloomy face. The fifty-year-old Wang Chen had an intractable disease on his body.
The evil spirit made Liu Ye understand that even the guards he brought might not be able to defeat this county lieutenant.
"Investigators sent from Chang'an." Liu Ye saw the surrounding county soldiers closing in and decisively took out the talisman he had prepared before coming.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen, the county lieutenant, shrank his pupils, and then his face became more sinister, "Catch them all alive, don't let any of them escape."
Liu Ye was confused and his heart sank, but he did not fight directly, but surrendered. After all, the matter had reached this point, and Liu Ye had already seen more bad things from the expression on the other side. The problem now is
, what happened to the last wave of personnel dispatched from Chang'an.
Or more directly, are there really the investigators sent from the previous wave?
Wang Chen took Liu Ye and a group of people directly to the government office. 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 on his work, so when he saw Liu Ye
When I was quiet, I had some vague impressions.
"County guard, we have captured another group of people who may be the remnants of bandits." Wang Chen said with clasped fists and a salute, "The people he led are quite powerful. If the other party hadn't directly resisted, I'm afraid the county soldiers would have suffered more than a dozen casualties.
name."
"?" Li Fu was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Liu Ye. The more he looked, the more familiar he looked. At this time, Liu Ye was moving his wrists, looking at Liu Ye with a dull expression, and then a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he hurried up.
Untied the rope for Liu Ye.
"Quick, quick, quick, untie it, this time it's really investigators sent from Chang'an." Li Fu almost cried. He couldn't untie the rope, so he hurriedly greeted Wang Chen, who looked at him with a naive expression.
The knife cut the hemp rope in two strokes.
"Doctor Liu, I'm sorry. We've been a little nervous recently and have treated you as a remnant of thieves. This matter is too big. I have already reported it to Chang'an before, but it has never been dealt with. Okay.
, the Chang'an investigation team came and took us into a deeper pit." Li Fu almost cried to explain what all this was about.
I finally filled the hole that I didn't know who dug for me before, and solved the Chang'an investigation team that brought me into the hole for the second time. This can be regarded as getting Wei County back on track, in order to avoid this kind of thing happening again.
, and even asked the county lieutenant to lead a team to strengthen the management of Wei County, and as a result, Taizhong doctor Liu Ye was arrested.
At this moment, Li Fu really felt that his future was dark. Why should he struggle?
"What's going on? Was there an investigation team before I came here?" Liu Ye didn't care about other things at this time and pointed directly to the core of the problem, "Also, what happened to the summer grain this year? How could there be
So many people have lost their harvest."
Although Li Fu's mentality collapsed, he still responded quickly to Liu Ye's inquiry, "There is an investigation team, at least as far as I found out, it was indeed sent from Chang'an, and the problem is
Here, this group of people are not here to solve problems, but to do bad things."
"Where are they?" Liu Ye said with a gloomy face. They dare to do such a thing. How far they are connected, Liu Ye feels desperate just thinking about it.
"..." Li Fu was silent, there were some things that he couldn't talk about.
"You killed them?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and was silent for a while. He was sure that the personnel he sent were indeed from Chang'an. You actually dared to kill them. You must have a problem.
"I..." Li Fu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. Yes, he killed those bad people, and he also killed the thieves. The people who dug holes before were bribed by other counties to dig them up.
The long history and master book recommended by scammers.
Liu Ye looked at Li Fu. At this moment, he really didn't know if Li Fu was worthy of his trust.
"How is the reserve warehouse in the county?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and asked.
"All of them have been converted into money notes and have been officially pledged in Weijun Bank. The grain tax has been paid through Yanzhou channels. As for the grain, we believe that the government's reputation is to deliver goods first and pay later. The money is in Weijun Bank. Yanzhou has confirmed the existence of the money.
The food should be on the way." Li Fu was silent for a while and then said, Liu Ye felt much relieved after hearing this.
As long as he is still thinking about his official career, there is not a big problem. What's more, when the summer grain harvest is partially exhausted, he quickly opened storage warehouses to avoid people's riots. In fact, it shows that Li Fu wants to continue to be an official. In this case, Li Fu
Even if there are problems, they are at least trustworthy to a certain extent.
"Are you planning to postpone the payment?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and asked.
Obviously, the money pledged by the official in Weijun's bank is actually Weijun's grain tax. It's just that Yi Ji, the governor of Yanzhou in Weijun, said that there was a lot of damage on the way here. I'll convert it into cash. You can help me.
I'll pay it on your behalf.
This matter is not illegal, it is a kind of thing that is good to you and me. As Yanzhou is the agricultural and grain base of the Central Plains, it has dealt with a lot of this matter, and it can be regarded as a pleasure to others.
More importantly, this way of paying taxes is conducive to the calculation of national taxes. Therefore, there has never been a problem with other states and counties giving money to Yanzhou and letting Yanzhou pay it on its behalf. This is only beneficial from top to bottom, so
Li Fu put the money into Weijun Bank and asked Weijun Bank to send a message to Yanzhou Bank, saying that he was paying taxes on his behalf.
Yanzhou is just going through a process. It is impossible to compare and verify up and down. It will only be verified together at the end of the year. As for saying that this wave has been paid and pretending to be dead when the tax is inspected, that is impossible. Do you still want the official title?
We can't let Yanzhou cover this shortfall, it's unrealistic.
However, Yanzhou is not unkind. We do the calculation at the end of the year, so the money for your summer grain tax has not been paid to you. You can just pay it together at the end of the year and don't stop us from doing the calculation.
In this way, Wei Jun had at least half a year of buffer time. After that, he would undoubtedly misappropriate the funds to purchase grain and grass elsewhere, fill up the reserve warehouse again, misappropriate the pledged money, find merchants to buy goods first, and even pay later.
If you don’t need anything extra, just take your time. Logistics speed doesn’t matter. You can combine shipping and ordering. Just come before the end of the year, but you need to send me the voucher first.
In other words, if Liu Ye came a few days later, Li Fu could actually pat his chest and say that the reserve warehouses in Wei County were full, because there were certificates to prove that these warehouses were used, but they would be filled again after a while.
Full, now empty, just because of the process.
Even if Chen Xi hadn't stabbed Cai Mao and his group to add rice to the feed, Li Fu could have used other settlement methods to get the rice first, fill up the treasury, and then rely on turnover to survive this period of time, but Chen Xi
This road is stuck.
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 over with time. But as soon as he executed it, he met Liu Ye, and basically everything happened.
Exposed.
Just thinking of this, Li Fu felt that his official career was basically over. What was even more frustrating was that he was just working, wanting to do better and get promoted, and then wait until he was sixty or seventy to return to his hometown and be buried in his ancestral grave.
At that time, several circles and other structures were added to the ancestral hall.
The result is not that he didn't work, or that he didn't do it well, but the most realistic point is that he was plotted by those Jizhou idiots, and more importantly, his methods were a bit poor and he didn't completely settle the account.
