"Mountain Chang, Jin Wanfu has been taken away by people from Dali Temple.
According to investigations, he knew that Zhang Xiongfei borrowed money to
hoard food and drive up food prices, but he still chose to lend because he
took two beautiful Husbands from Zhang Xiongfei. Ji, the two Orchid have been
dismissed, and the six thousand Guans that Jin Wanfu lent to Zhang Xiongfei
have also been recovered. I sent a letter back to the headquarters of Yanhuang
Bank and transferred a gentleman with both virtue and art to Xinfeng County
from there. Serving as the treasurer of the bank~!"
On the ridge outside Liyang County, Li Ke came to Li Zexuan and arched his
hands.
They spent the night in Weinan County after exterminating locusts yesterday.
They set off at dawn this morning. They are exterminating locusts in Liyang
County. On the way, they borrowed more than 20,000 chickens from Xinfeng
County. Weinan County has loaned more than 10,000 chickens. The people of
Liyang County have spontaneously started sending their own captive chickens to
the county office after seeing the "Datang Daily" today. It is expected that
Li Zexuan and the others will be able to " Absorb 20,000 chickens!
This is the snowball phenomenon. The Tianji team is like a snowball. The
disaster-stricken states and counties in Guanzhong not only wiped out the
locusts, but as they continued to absorb the chickens sent by the people along
the way, their strength continued to grow!
"The more fertile the soil, the easier it is to breed corruption! The Yanhuang
Bank manages countless coins, and the treasurer of the bank is the fat
difference in the eyes of countless people. Today we can punish one Jin Wanfu,
but there will be hundreds in the future. Jin Wanfu, how will you deal with
Xiao Ke?"
Li Zexuan turned around, looked at Li Ke faintly and said.
Li Ke was shocked when he heard this. Obviously he agreed with the first half
of what Li Zexuan said, but how to solve this problem, he really didn’t think
about it. After a moment of silence, Li Ke handed his hand and said, "Also ask
the chieftain to teach me. ~!"
Li Zexuan sighed and said with his hand: "We can't always find a corrupt money
bank treasurer and punish one. You and I don't have the time. This is like
your Majesty and the court officials, your Majesty manages everything on
weekdays. I have time to investigate whether the following civil and military
officials are corrupt? But has my Datang corrupted officials because of this?
No! Because the imperial court has a Yushitai, dozens of Yushi meticulously
exercise the responsibility of monitoring hundreds of officials! Therefore,
the teacher believes that Yanhuang Bank also needs a self-monitoring
department to monitor whether there is corruption in various banks! In this
way, it is possible to prevent the constant appearance of people like Jin
Wanfu! "
In fact, he thought about this issue as early as the establishment of the
bank, but at first the scale of the bank was limited to Yunshan, and he did
not worry about corruption. Later, the Yanhuang Bank was recognized by Li Er
and the court officials, and was attached to the Huhu. After it became a
"state-owned" large bank, it embarked on a road of rapid expansion!
Under the rapid expansion of everything, there will be many hidden dangers.
The same is true of Yanhuang Bank. Jin Wanfu is only the tip of the iceberg.
Li Zexuan believes that there must be many people in Yanhuang Banks in Datang
counties who use power for personal gain and corruption like Jin Wanfu. The
scum of corruption!
If you catch one, remove one and investigate one. Obviously, this cannot
completely solve the problem. Only by improving the existing system and
preventing this phenomenon from happening again from the system is the correct
solution to the problem!
When Li Ke heard the words, he suddenly realized: "The mountain leader sees
it! Then when the locust eradication operation is over, Ke will return to
Chang'an to summon staff and set up a supervision department at the Yanhuang
Qianqian bank to regularly check the accounts of the county banks, and
irregularly. Dispatch supervisory officials to places and conduct unannounced
visits to assess whether the treasurer of the local bank has committed illegal
activities!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "It's so best! Otherwise, there are more people
like Jin Wanfu and others, which will not only cause heavy economic losses to
the bank, but also make the bank's reputation among the people drastically
worse!"
Speaking of this, Li Zexuan’s face flashed with sullenness, "Huh! Colluding
with grain merchants and driving up grain prices. Fortunately, this matter did
not make a big deal, but was strangled in the cradle in time. Otherwise, our
Yanhuang Banks might be in the private sector. Everyone shouted! Xiao Ke
immediately made the example of Jin Wanfu a typical example, and issued an
internal official notice at Yanhuang Bank, so that all bank treasurers would
take warning, otherwise they would be like Jin Wanfu, not only ruined, but
also imprisoned. Disaster!"
The Yanhuang Bank was founded by Li Zexuan. Seeing someone ruining his
efforts, of course he was heartbroken and of course angry!
Li Ke said with a solemn expression, and said, "Shanchang can rest assured
that the internal official document students have already sent it out
yesterday, and the treasurers of each bank should have received it in the past
few days~! Besides, what should be the name of the supervision department
inside our bank?"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, and said: "The bank involves gold, silver and
money, so call them Jinyiwei! Jinyiwei must not only have civilian personnel
who are good at investigating and analyzing accounts, but also military
personnel who are good at arresting and fighting. It must be both civil and
military, both internally and externally, because the Yanhuang Bank will
become larger and larger in the future~!"
"This!"
After listening, Li Ke opened his mouth in surprise. Obviously he didn't
expect Li Zexuan to play such a big game. "The leader of the mountain, it is
involved in military affairs. I am afraid that he will have to get permission
from the father to continue to advance!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's natural! Yanhuang Bank is only a financial
institution at best. Of course, it does not have the power to establish arms.
But it is precisely because the bank is a financial institution that it needs
a strong force to ensure its internal and external It's safe, so I leave it to
Xiaoke for your instructions! The future Jinyiwei will not only be able to
detect the corruption inside the bank, but also protect the bank from being
violated by outside criminals!"
He was definitely not trying to make a spoof of the golden clothes guard. The
daily cash flow of Yanhuang Bank is very impressive. Money can move people's
hearts. Everyone likes money. People inside the bank may think about
embezzling money, while the criminals outside the bank think about corruption.
You may be thinking about coming to the bank to grab money. If you don't
prevent it as soon as possible, something will happen!
For example, modern banks not only supervise and manage banks such as the
China Banking Regulatory Commission, financial asset management companies,
trust investment companies and other deposit-taking financial institutions,
but also bank security to protect the safety of banks! Yanhuang Bank is
similar to modern banks, of course, it also needs corresponding supervision
and security departments!
Hearing the words, Li Ke pondered for a moment in his heart, and then he said,
"The leader of the mountain is right. After we return to Chang'an, Ke will
personally report the matter to his father!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Well! The most urgent thing is to eliminate the
locusts first! The Tianji brigade is now getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Ke,
you have to coordinate and arrange tasks for each team in advance to ensure
that we can eliminate the locusts. The speed is getting faster and faster,
otherwise the chickens that the people lent us will be lent for nothing?"
For the Tianji brigade, the increase in the number of chickens is not entirely
a good thing. The expansion of the scale will increase the requirements for
the commander! For example, a team of 5,000 chickens was asked to wipe out the
locusts in 1,000 mu of fertile fields in half a day, but now the total number
of chickens has increased, and the number of chickens allocated to each team
will also increase. Dividing tasks by speed will result in waste of resources,
but if too many tasks are divided, it will also affect the overall progress of
Tianji Brigade!
The actual commander of Tianji Brigade is actually Li Ke, so Li Zexuan said
so.
Li Ke solemnly arched his hands and said: "The leader can rest assured that he
will weigh all factors and assign tasks to each team!"
"Well! That's the best! After killing the locusts in a while, let's make
preparations and go directly to the next county-Jingyang County. Let the
county magistrate of Liyang County send us the chickens lent to us by the
people in a while!"
"Yes! The mountain is long!"
On the first day of the "departure" of the Tianji brigade, the locusts in the
two counties were wiped out, and the size of the chickens grew to 350,000!
On the second day of the Tianji Brigade’s "departure", the locusts in two and
a half counties were wiped out. The reason why it was said to be two and a
half counties was because the locusts in the third county were only half
cleared, and the sky was dark. Li Zexuan and his party had to Stay in the
local area and wait until tomorrow morning to continue the eradication of
locusts. That day, the scale of the chickens has grown to 410,000!
On the third day of the "departure" of the Tianji brigade, the locusts in the
three counties were wiped out, and the chicken flock grew to 470,000!
At noon on the fourth day, after the Tianji brigade wiped out the locusts in
Xianyang County, the Tianji brigade composed of 500,000 chickens was divided
into two groups. The 200,000 chickens were led by Li Zexuan and set off to the
west, and the other 300,000. The chicken, led by Li Ke and Cheng Chumo, headed
east, along the Yellow River, and wiped out the locusts in the disaster-
stricken states and counties all the way!
"Good news" is frequently reported, and the size of the Tianji brigade is
increasing rapidly. The people in the disaster area who were in despair and
helplessness due to the large locust plague, saw the good news about Tianji
brigade in the "Datang Daily", instantly With infinite fighting spirit
ignited, various disaster-stricken prefectures and counties throughout the
Guanzhong region have launched vigorous disaster relief operations!
At the same time, various departments of the imperial court have already taken
action. The Twelve-Route Supervision Yushi was sent by Li Er to conduct
inspections of officials in the twelve disaster-stricken states, focusing on
rigorously investigating officials who did not provide adequate relief efforts
and even used locust plagues to make money. !
In addition, each inspection census carries a long grain transport team at the
back. Some grain transport teams even took advantage of the power of the
Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. This can be regarded as the second fair and
honest cooperation between government and business in the history of Datang
(the first time). It was last year that the imperial court sent a fleet to the
south to exchange food, and many private merchants participated).
As for the sources of these grains, they all came from Taicang, the largest
granary in Chang'an City. Taicang is considered a royal granary. Its main
function is to provide for the royal family's consumption, rewards, salary,
military supplies, and government accounts. Although the main function of
Taicang is to rule the central service, it also has some positive effects. For
example, every time there is a famine, Taicang will take out grain to
supplement the normal warehouse, curb the skyrocketing grain prices, and sell
some grain at a low price to help the victims.
Last year, the imperial court sent a fleet to the south to exchange grains and
directly filled Taicang. Now Taicang has a full 600,000 shi of grain, and the
Hanjiacang in Luoyang stores more than a million shi of grain. Tang has enough
confidence to deal with this locust plague!
Since the locust plague started, the effects of food shortages in various
regions have not had time to manifest. The imperial court transported part of
the grain to various states and counties mainly to tell the affected people in
the Guanzhong region that the imperial court has the strength and ability to
help them tide over the difficulties. In the face of major natural disasters,
sometimes you say 10,000 sentences, it is better to take out the white rice to
make the people more at ease!
Therefore, the food in Taicang is not only for disaster relief, but also for
stabilizing people's hearts and stabilizing food prices!
Li Er should not only stabilize food prices, but also act!
On the evening of the fifth day of the Tianji brigade’s "departure", Li
Zexuan, a group of people, arrived in Yongxian County, and Li Zexuan finally
met his old friend Wang Renbiao who had been away for many days!
"Haha! You have been away from Xiaoxuan for nearly half a year. I never
thought that you and I would meet again in this situation. At this moment, I
really don't know whether Ren Piao should be happy or sad!"
At the end of last year, Li Er decreed to appoint Wang Renbiao as the governor
of Qizhou and ordered him to go to Qizhou at the beginning of this year.
Qizhou, which belongs to Gyeonggi Province, is also called Fengxiang Mansion.
It has nine counties under its jurisdiction, and the government is in Yong
County where Li Zexuan and the others are now!
"Natural disasters should be sorrow for the people, and they should be happy
for friends. There is no conflict between the two!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said.
Wang Renbiao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help sighing, "Xiaoxuan, you are
still as open-minded and open-minded as before!"
After sighing, he suddenly looked down, bowed solemnly, and said, "Today, as a
mere elder brother as a mere provincial governor, on behalf of the 400,000
people in Qizhou, welcome to Xiaoxuan, your Tianji brigade~!"
Li Zexuan quickly helped him up and said, "You and my brother, why are you
polite! Besides, locust relief is originally the responsibility of the Tianji
brigade~www.mtlnovel.com~ We are just extinguishing locusts according to the
route that was established before departure. , Even if Renbiao you are not the
governor of Qizhou, Tianji Brigade will come to Qizhou for a while~!"
Wang Renbiao shook his head and said, "No matter what, I will support
Xiaoxuan's love for you! You must be exhausted after a long journey, Xiaoxuan,
come back to the governor's mansion and rest with me!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and refused: "No, it's important to eliminate
locusts! In fact, I didn't feel tired all the way. After all, I have martial
arts, and these children are the most tired!"
Wang Renbiao couldn't help but cast his eyes on the children in the field who
were holding loudspeakers and directing the chickens to march. They were all
sweating. But the enthusiasm remained the same, which made him sigh with
emotion: "Lantian County is truly an outstanding man. With Xiaoxuan, you are
such a noble and knowledgeable Hou Ye, these children will definitely have
something to do in the future! Prepare meat, throat soup, and heat-relieving
soup. How about I invite the children tonight for this meal?"
"This"
Li Zexuan just wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Leng Yuyao next to
him:
"Master Hou, don't refuse! My son learned that you are going to Qizhou today,
and started sending people to prepare these things yesterday. Yuyao knows that
you don't need the money for these meals, but my son wants to make a share
too. Your mind will be fulfilled!"
Li Zexuan felt helpless, thinking for a moment, and nodded and agreed: "That's
good! Let Renbiao cost you money~! In fact, Renbiao, you are now a provincial
governor, you should take official duties as the most important thing, you
don't have to go out to meet us in person!"
Wang Renbiao laughed and said: "Xiaoxuan, you and my brother, why be polite!"
In the same way, they answered different questions, and the two couldn't help
but smile at each other.
"That's fine! I won't be polite to you~! I will prepare twenty watermelons for
the children tonight!"
"Haha! No problem! I'll send someone to buy it!"
