Chapter 245 The thoughts of the common people are not important at all
After Zhao Kaihe arrived in Yizhou, he began to convene people to track the whereabouts of the pension and bounty.

After sorting out the clues, he learned that the money was initially allocated from the army to the local treasury. According to the list of the soldiers killed in the army and their place of origin, he calculated how many pensions and bonuses needed to be allocated, and sent them directly to the local treasury. place.

So he went to the treasury to check the entry and exit records, and found the record of the money entering the treasury. It turned out that this number was different from the number calculated by the army, which was nearly [-]% less.

Good guy, I haven't checked whether the local officials are dirty, and the problem started directly from the disbursement link. The problem started from the source of the money disbursement. Basically, no one wants to pay the money in full.

This made Zhao Kaihe a little depressed.

However, he didn't find it strange. Zhao Kaihe thought it was normal for these people to do something about the money.

The so-called wild goose plucking is about this group of people, who are no different from those greedy officials in the Jin Kingdom.

However, nearly [-]% is taken out here. What about the other big heads?

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kaihe began to review the expenditure.

This money is for special use, and there is no possibility of other expenditures. According to the records of the ledger, each money is clearly recorded and delivered to Ding Canjun's public account, and the amount is correct.

There seems to be no problem in this regard, but if there is no problem, how can it cause the phenomenon that the local people are unwilling to join the army, and there are rumors of whether they have received pensions and bounties?

There is something tricky, this money has been made into a fake account, and what I see must be a carefully decorated fake account.

Zhao Kaihe couldn't fight the war, but his experience in this area and his understanding of bureaucracy were not bad, and he soon smelled the smell of conspiracy.

So he sent people to secretly visit the families of Ding Canjun on the list, and asked more than 70 families, but the answers they got were different.

Some people said they got one-third of the quota stated in the notice, some said they only got half of the quota, and some said they didn't see the money at all.

Isn't it chilling that his son died in battle or earned the money for his life in exchange for military exploits so unclearly?

Anything like this?
Zhao Kaihe also agrees with this. Although he does not feel that he is the same person as these farmers, he can understand all kinds of emotions.

The money that my family has exchanged for their lives is gone, what is this?
It seems that the government and local tyrants have joined hands to tamper with accounts, make false accounts, and seek personal gain from it.

Zhao Kaihe is actually quite clear about how such a thing works and how it works.

Because the Zhao family has done this kind of thing before, the Zhao family has also cooperated with Jinting's petty officials and officials to deceive Shangguan with fake accounts, or they simply joined forces with Shangguan, and the entire government participated in the fight against the money that should have been turned over to the state treasury. Taxes move hands and feet.

Then the money obtained is divided into three or seven accounts, and sometimes four or six accounts. When the year is good, there is a glorious history of five or five accounts.

Sometimes the government really relies heavily on these big families to help them settle accounts through their own business channels, and wash the dirty money, just like a white lotus flower, so that you can take it with peace of mind. Enjoy in hand.

If Ginting hadn't changed to a mad emperor to do crazy things and cover the ground, who would want to rebel?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kaihe suddenly missed the good old days.

But let's not talk about that right now!
Zhao Kaihe is going to do something around these things, even if he is dealing with errands, and strive for a little impression in front of Zhao Kaishan, so that he can return to the army and take control of the military.

So he decided to investigate the big households in the city, including Li, Yang, and Du, who were seriously involved in this matter, killing chickens to warn the monkeys, and killing a few people to prove his ability.

However, just as he was preparing to act, Zhao Xiang, who was appointed by Zhao Kaishan to be responsible for the armed recruitment, came to the door and met Zhao Kaihe.

When the two were in the family, their relationship was relatively general, and they weren't really good friends. It wasn't until Zhao Kaishan decided to rebel that the relationship between the two became better.

Especially when it comes to dealing with Zhao Zuoliang, the two have very close positions and have some common language, so they have a good relationship.

Zhao Kaihe had some thoughts on Zhao Xiang's visit, but before Zhao Xiang did not speak, he did not intend to speak.

Until Zhao Xiang expresses his intention.

"Several big families in the city invited me to come and say something to you, so that you don't take this matter too deeply, they will find a way to settle the matter, as long as you can keep silent, they will definitely thank you afterwards. ."

These words confirmed Zhao Kaihe's conjecture.

He was a little unhappy.

"You also participated in this matter? I don't think you should do such a thing."

"No, I didn't know about it at first. After I came here, I heard people talk about it, and I have a little understanding of it. Although I know that my brother is very dissatisfied with this matter, at this time, it is better not to hurt people's hearts. it is good."

Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Kaihe with a smile on his face.

Zhao Kaihe became a little interested.

"These people started with pensions and bounties and filled their own pockets, which made the people extremely dissatisfied with this. Everyone complained and complained about their elder brothers. It is obviously something that hurts people's hearts. Why do you say that?"

Zhao Xiang's expression was very disdainful.

"What kind of people are ordinary people? It's just like what others say. If there is a mess of sand, what a virtuous and prestigious person says, the common people will follow what they say. They are illiterate, stupid, and have no opinions of their own.

They are just simply following the trend, not worth mentioning at all, and those powerful and powerful households are different. They raise their arms and respond to thousands of people. They have soldiers, food and money. Action is the real heart.

Don't be fooled by other people. The ideas of the common people are not important at all, and the support of the powerful and powerful is the most important thing for us. As for the grievances of the common people, killing one or two small people and guiding a little is enough to calm down. , there is no need for such a big fight.

If you go to war on behalf of the common people and kill the clansmen of the powerful and powerful, do you really think they will miss you?No, the locals are the best at local affairs, as long as there is a little guidance from the people with intentions, your end will definitely not look good. "

When Zhao Kaihe heard this, he looked at Zhao Xiang in surprise.

"Brother always said that you have no ability, you are only clever, but I never thought you could say such a thing."

Zhao Xiang laughed.

"I really didn't have any ability before. Isn't it a rebellion now? It's a matter of life and life. You always have to learn something, and people will always change."

Zhao Kaihe pouted.

"Hmph, not necessarily? Honestly, how much did you charge?"

"not much."

Zhao Xiang didn't hide it, he made a gesture to himself, and then to Zhao Kaihe: "If you are willing to help, you can get this amount of reward."

Zhao Kaihe was silent for a while, his face showing anger.

"I want to buy the inspector for such a small amount of money? I, the Shandong inspector, was personally appointed by my brother and bears heavy responsibilities. How can I be dereliction of duty because of such yellow and white things? I won't accept it!"

Zhao Xiang was not afraid of being rejoiced, and he made another gesture with a smile.

"Does that number work?"

"Who do you take me for? Am I like that?"

Zhao Kaihe's face is upright.

"Then this number is finally enough, right?"

Zhao Xiang made another gesture.

This time Zhao Kaihe's expression became softer, but he still did not let go.

"That's what I said, but my brother trusted me and asked me to do such a thing, but I couldn't solve the problem. In the end, my brother held me accountable, what should I do?"

Zhao Xiang shook his head, and finally made a gesture.

"This is the end. There can't be more. If there is more, they might as well clean up themselves. You should also take it away. Don't be too greedy.

Zhao Kaihe finally didn't hold back the expression on his face, he smiled.

"Actually, I am also very dissatisfied with this kind of thing. In fact, I was forced to come here to supervise this matter. I don't want to do such a boring thing. I want to lead troops to fight. It was Zhao Zuoliang who forced me to come here. of."

He complained that Zhao Kaihe was greedy and greedy, but when he mentioned Zhao Zuoliang, Zhao Xiang became interested.
