Looking at the bags of relief food that had been dropped, the anxious Zuowei disciples poured them out and spread them out. All they could see were the grains full of bran mixed with sand, small pebbles and even some lime……
Obviously can't eat it.
Shen Lie's complexion changed slightly.
It's no wonder that Bai Guangen and his daughter were all panicked, and even Miss Bai, who had always been extremely smart and resourceful, was at a loss.
"fool!"
Veteran Bai Guangen's scoldings made the honest Zuo Wei disciples panic. Because of their negligence, they did not discover the abnormality in time when they went to the regular warehouse to transport grain.
Now the grain has left Changpingcang.
The receipt was also signed.
Also drawn.
I can’t explain this clearly!
"big eater!"
The veteran general Bai Guangen was extremely angry and scolded the neglectful Wei Zhong children: "They are all frivolous... What is the crime of embezzling disaster relief food?"
According to the Ming Law.
"This is a serious crime of confiscation of homes, beheading, and extermination of clans. If it were true that Taizu founded the country, he would have to skin his skin and fill it with grass to light a sky lantern!"
In the midst of scolding.
Shen Lie hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Uncle Bai...that's all."
When something like this happens, we, the children of Wei Zhong, cannot be entirely blamed. We, the honest and honest military children of Zuo Wei, were deceived by those officials in Changpingcang who were smarter than monkeys.
This is also reasonable.
Our military household is too simple and easy to bully.
Step by step.
Shen Lie walked towards the relief grain piled in the wooden shed. After thinking about it, he pulled out the three-sided bayonet he carried with him and stabbed the grain bag with the bayonet.
What came out was still bran, white ash, and sand. It was like this for more than ten bags in a row. It was really...
Not even a grain of food!
That small group of Zuowei disciples were responsible for transporting food.
Everyone was silent.
As Shen Lie squatted down, bent down, and pulled out the stones one by one with a bayonet made of hundred-forged fine iron.
Shen Lie put away his bayonet, stood up, and asked softly: "How much food is there?"
Bai Guangen looked livid and said in a low voice, "I don't know yet."
Shen Lie then let out a low shout: "Check!"
This is the order.
The supervisors, eunuchs, and helpers under his command hurriedly took action and began to inspect the Changping warehouse grains piled up in the wooden sheds.
One wave comes after another.
It took half a day.
Bai Guangen wiped his sweat and ran over to report: "Sir, we have found out that at least half of the grain is adulterated, totaling... five hundred shi."
I heard the number five hundred stones.
The corners of Shen Lie's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he felt shuddering in his heart. He cursed softly: "These turtles are really brave."
Do you even dare to move Chang Pingcang?
crazy!
What is Chang Ping Cang?
Changpingcang was established in the Han Dynasty. It was an official granary set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to regulate grain prices, store grain in preparation for shortages, and supply the food needs of the officials and the people.
In this era, it can be said to be the foundation of the country!
How this kind of official warehouse works is that when the price of grain is low, the court will appropriately raise the price of grain and make large purchases.
This way.
It not only filled the imperial court's granary with food, but also filled the border areas with food so that the soldiers on the front line could have food to eat.
But if the price of food reaches a high level, the imperial court will release the food in the granary for external sale, thereby lowering the price of food.
This will then reduce the burden on the people and stabilize the market.
The birth of Changpingcang prevented the "low price of grain from hurting farmers" and the "high price of grain from hurting the people", which played a great role in stabilizing the morale of the people and the military.
"Even Chang Pingcang dares to touch..."
Shen Lie bit his back teeth and sneered several times.
aside.
Dao Shisan, a man from Xuanfu, touched his head and said softly: "But where did the food in Changpingcang go?"
Bai Zhenzhen sneered: "The grain in Changpingcang was emptied out, so naturally... it was in the hands of the major grain merchants in the capital."
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
It's sensational.
Who knows how much grain has been stolen from Changping warehouses in various places? If it hadn't been for a natural disaster, Long live the Lord would have issued an order to adjust grain for disaster relief.
I don’t know how long these messy things will be hidden.
"If there is a fight between the nine sides...hey, what will the soldiers eat and what will they wear?"
"There is no justice!"
This amazing scene.
Let the simple people in Dongchang sigh.
at this time.
Miss Bai's bright eyes turned, and she walked Yingying and whispered in Shen Lie's ear: "This cover must never be lifted."
Watch her exhale like blue.
Shen Lie nodded.
On the front line, Li Rusong, Ma Lin, and Marshal Qi are using troops. If this cover is lifted, it will be an earth-shattering storm.
Pacing.
Thinking deeply.
Shen Lie quickly whispered to Bai Zhenzhen: "Take my note, go to the bank account to pay a sum of money, and go outside the city to buy some rice to make up for the shortfall. Don't make this matter public."
I accidentally caught it.
Then you can only accept it as bad luck.
The words fell.
The dozen or so Zuo Wei disciples who had made serious mistakes knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Lie as if they had been granted amnesty. Even Bai Guangen breathed a sigh of relief.
Five hundred stones of rice noodles...
Even if you kill him, you can't close this big hole!
However, Shen Lie felt that it was worth it. He exchanged 500 shi of rice and grain for the hearts and minds of Tianjin Zuowei. This was a very good deal.
in front of me.
Bai Zhenzhen was slightly startled, and her bright eyes turned again. Looking at Shen Lie's heroic measurements, the mist couldn't help but become hazy, and an inextricable light affection filled the air.
Little Lady Bai quickly lowered her snow-white neck, with a sweet smile, and whispered softly: "Yes."
she knows.
The man she chased after him on the pole was different from those ungrateful people. He was a reliable and beloved man, otherwise.
With her Bai Zhenzhen beauty and family background, how could she bear the grievance of becoming this man's wife?
She is absolutely stunning in the world.
With gratitude in my heart.
Such a well-behaved and obedient look made Shen Lie's heart tremble, but he felt several flying knives coming from behind, and he coughed lightly.
Changed the topic.
Looking at the Tongzhou Pier in the southeast, where several large Changping warehouses are located.
Shen Lie turned to Bai Guangen and said quietly: "If Shen's prediction is correct, Changpingcang... I'm afraid it's going to catch fire."
"In Shen's hometown..."
Shen Lie sighed softly. Generally speaking, when such bad things are exposed and cannot be concealed, many people's heads will fall to the ground.
The granary should have caught fire.
By the time.
The amount of damage reported depends on how courageous the worms who manage the granary are.
"Why?"
Bai Guangen was stunned and began to think about the profound meaning behind Master Shen's words. Some people scratched their heads stupidly, still unable to understand.
But as smart as Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Jingxiu...
But a cold light shone in his bright eyes.
Not as expected.
That night.
It was late at night when the wind picked up. A fire flashed in the distance in the direction of Tongzhou Pier, and the wind picked up the fire.
The fire was soaring into the sky, and the smoke was billowing.
From the simple wooden sheds on both sides of the official road, the victims came out one after another, supporting the elderly, weak, women and children, and looked in panic towards the direction of Tongzhou, which represented the majesty of the imperial court.
The raging fire turned half the sky red.
Shen Lie is also among them.
Hands behind back.
Pacing.
Thinking.
And there were whispers from all around, maybe we adults can figure it out, but I never expected that it was a remark that seemed to be a joke.
