Chapter 810 The Secret Report of the Skynet Army
Su Yonglin did not clearly express who he was talking about.

But for this sake, many people's eyes turned to Jiang Yu consciously or unintentionally.

I saw Jiang Yu's expression was unnatural, and his face was a little red. Although he didn't say a word, it could be seen that his heart was quite uneasy.

Su Yonglin glanced at Jiang Yu, and it happened that Jiang Yu also looked over. When their eyes met, Jiang Yu looked away like an electric shock. He didn't dare to look directly at Su Yonglin, and the expression on his face became even more unnatural.

Su Yonglin sighed secretly in his heart.

After this incident, Su Yonglin began to focus on internal rectification.

In mid-February of the third year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin began to integrate the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Law, the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Court, and several departments such as the Organization Department and the Supervision Department of the Renaissance Society. anti-corruption action.

In addition, a number of working groups were organized to go to all provinces in the country to carry out rectification actions in each province, pay close attention to the management of officials, and prepare to take advantage of the favorable external environment for a wave of internal rectification to lay the foundation for the next larger external expansion.

Otherwise, something went wrong, and he wouldn't have time to cry.

A strong country has never been breached from the outside, but collapsed from within, leading to its downfall.

Daming is already strong enough. Under the influence of the excellent matching mechanism in the East Asia region in the middle and late twelfth century, Daming has surpassed the matching mechanism and completed the diamond-to-bronze beating, and will continue to break the East Asia region in the years to come. The upper limit of , brought the East Asia region back to the original matching height.

Therefore, Su Yonglin will never allow anyone to hold him back when he acts.

Originally, Su Yonglin did not have any specific directions, but planned to make a comprehensive rectification.

Whether it is for the old bureaucrats or the members of the Renaissance, we should conduct a comprehensive rectification campaign to properly deal with some of the problems accumulated in the three years of proclaiming the emperor, and solve all these problems before they affect the fundamentals of the court.

This was his original idea.

But soon, another incident happened that changed Su Yonglin's initial thoughts.

This matter is related to the Yellow River Project.

At the beginning of March in the third year of Hongwu, Hu Wei, the branch director of the Tai'an Restoration Association, sent an internal document to the center of the Restoration Association through the channel of the Restoration Association, which was very interesting.

This document mentioned that starting from December last year, the prices of several counties in Tai'an Prefecture have risen rapidly recently, and the prices of many living materials have risen sharply.

Originally, as the New Year is approaching, if people have some spare money in their hands, they will use it to buy some New Year's goods, and prices will rise to a certain extent. This is not surprising, and it is not worth worrying about.

And because of the existence of the Yellow River renovation project, the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty purchased the materials needed for the renovation of the Yellow River from various places, and also adopted the principle of proximity to save transportation costs.

For example, the newly constructed Yellow River course passes through Damingfu, Dongpingfu, Jinanfu, Zizhou, Dizhou and Binzhou, so the locally owned building materials should be purchased locally as much as possible.

The building materials that cannot be purchased locally will be allocated by the central government or by other places nearby. Anyway, it can be closer and closer to reduce transportation costs.

This is the result of Lin Jingchun's careful planning.

It is precisely because of the principle of proximity, that a large amount of cash flow will inevitably flow into the local market, and local businesses from ordinary merchants to farmers will benefit.

Building materials are purchased from merchants, food is purchased from the common people, and accommodation problems must be solved locally. If they can be solved locally, they will be solved locally. The locals also need to contribute labor and get a salary, so the money in their pockets will soon be more. up.

When ordinary people have money in their pockets, they will spend some of them out for consumption. With more money circulating in the market, it is normal for prices to rise in part accordingly.

In fact, since the establishment of Daming three years ago, Su Yonglin has indeed observed that the prices of some of the more important central cities in China have begun to rise slowly.

But the hidden reason behind this is that after Su Yonglin's policy of resuming production and lowering taxes has been implemented, the people have more money in their hands.

The taxes collected by Daming are far less terrifying than those of the Jin Kingdom, and they directly purchase grain from farmers through the national grain purchase and reserve system, so that the people have more copper coins, which can be used for consumption. More coins, money circulating in the market More, which has brought about a slow rise in prices.

This is economic prosperity in a state of equilibrium, not surprising.

So when this report was sent at the beginning of the year, Su Yonglin didn't take it seriously.

I just feel that Hu Wei, who gave this report, has done his due diligence, because he stipulated that the local revival branch must pay attention to the trend of local price changes, and report to the revival headquarters at any time.

Su Yonglin felt very satisfied, so he replied to Hu Wei in person, praised him, and asked him to make persistent efforts to continue to pay attention to this matter.

If this is not enough to make Su Yonglin suspicious, then the report of the No.11 action group of the Skynet Army operating in the Shandong area will make Su Yonglin frown.

The Eleventh Action Team reported that Liu Qing, a secret agent businessman they had placed in Dongping House, provided them with information.

This spy was placed by the [-]th Action Team as a businessman in Dongpingfu, a trade distribution center. The idea was that Dongpingfu is the transportation hub and trade center of Shandong, where merchants from all over the world gather here. Doing business here can easily learn a lot. Information that cannot be obtained through normal channels.

The same spies and many other people also do all kinds of business here.

There are those who run hotels, restaurants, ship transportation, land transportation, and so on.

The spy who provided information to the [-]th Action Team was in the transportation business. With the support of the organization and some of his own business talents, the transportation business was well done, the scale was quite large, and he made a lot of money. The Net Army has provided more operational funds.

If the business is doing well, it is easy to meet a lot of business friends, be it wine and meat friends, or fox friends and dog friends, each has its own usefulness.

One of them, a businessman named Xue Zhili, had borrowed a lot of money from him not long ago, but he never paid it back.

Liu Qing didn't take it seriously at first, and even joked with him.

"I said there is something wrong with you. I urged you three times before and you didn't pay me back. Why are you taking the initiative to pay me now?"

"Isn't it impossible to open the turnover? Now that the turnover is open, I will pay you back. It's easy to borrow and pay back, and it's not difficult to borrow again. I still understand the truth."

Xue Zhili laughed and joked with Liu Qing. Liu Qing laughed and scolded him for being unreasonable, and asked him to invite him in earnestly. Did he do something illegal or chaotic.

Xue Zhili quickly shook his head, and even said no, but the money he lent to his wife and brother for turnover was delayed for a long time, and now he has suddenly paid it back.

"Why is it sudden? Why are your family members so sudden?"

Liu Qing thought it was funny.

"It's not sudden for me. I really can't turn around. My brother-in-law is not... I have something to tell you, don't tell anyone else."

Xue Zhili looked around and said in a low voice, "I don't know who my brother-in-law and brother-in-law have climbed, and they may make a fortune."

"Fortune?"

Liu Qing said with a funny smile: "Let's talk about it, what kind of wealth, can you tell me about such a good thing?"

"That's different, you'll lose your head."

Xue Zhili was nervous and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, anyone who does a business without a capital will send it, but not everyone has the courage to do it."

"No business?"

Liu Qing frowned.

"Yeah, I also thought it was strange at the time. My brother-in-law and brother-in-law like to gamble. I had lost the turnover money before, so I lent him the money for the sake of my wife's face. I originally wanted to spend money to eliminate disasters. It is estimated that the meat buns beat the dog.

I didn't think that after a while he actually paid back the money, and boasted to me that he had a way to make money. I was so itchy, I dragged him to drink, made him drunk, and asked him what business he was doing, You know what he said? "

"How to say?"

"He told me that he had a way and someone helped him. As long as the building materials on the Yellow River construction site were taken out and transported to the designated place while it was dark, he could make a lot of money."

"what?!"

Liu Qing turned pale in shock, and hurriedly asked, "Building materials on the Yellow River construction site? Stolen and sold?"
