Daming reckless man

Chapter 191 Going to Investigate

Chapter 191

After Zhang Hao finished his breakfast, he went to Shuntian Mansion first to see if there was anything going on there.

When we got there, after listening to Qin Liangyi's report, there was no major problem, and Qin Liangyi could solve it, so Zhang Hao went to the household department.

The situation of the disaster has basically become clear.

The disaster was very serious. More than 300 million people were affected by the disaster, and nearly 2 people died, and a large number of houses collapsed.

Many things at home were buried in the snow, and the common people dug things out of the snow.

However, this time the county magistrates of various places acted very quickly, and a large amount of supplies were delivered, and they began to send them out.

When they learned that Zhang Hao was in charge of this matter, they were a little scared. Fourteen out of the fifteen county magistrates in Shuntian Prefecture were imprisoned before. In the future, wait until Zhang Hao no longer cares about this matter.

In the morning, Zhang Hao had just arrived, and was applied for another 80 taels. At the same time, yesterday's bill of 40 taels had already been sent to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao looked at the bill carefully, and there was no problem, but he didn't know if there was any problem with the quantity.

This needs to be supervised by the cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I will not go outside to supervise it.

"My lord, there is no problem with the quantity of yesterday's goods going out from those shops, but I don't know if they can reach the common people!" Hu Zongxian said to Zhang Hao.

"Today we still need to buy food and cotton clothes. You continue to watch and see how many goods they have shipped. This time the disaster is too severe, and this amount of money is probably not enough!" Zhang Hao said worryingly while sitting there.

Now 120 million taels have been used, and there are 80 taels left, which is definitely not enough. It is not enough to buy food alone, let alone distribute cotton clothes.

After the two of them went out, Zhang Hao sat in the office room of the household department, thinking about the disaster relief.

This time, Jiajing managed to get some money, and it was about to disappear. At that time, he would probably try to make money from the soap workshop again, but there was no way, what should I do if I don’t have money?
Zhang Hao sat in the office room of the household department for a while, but couldn't sit still any longer, and went out with Shen Lian to watch the supplies being loaded and transported out of the capital.

At noon, Zhang Hao returned to the alchemy room.

Seeing him coming back, Jiajing was taken aback for a moment, then walked to Zhang Hao's side.

"The ledger hasn't arrived yet. Yesterday's 40 taels, I think there is nothing wrong with it!" Zhang Hao saw Jiajing coming over and thought he was going to ask about disaster relief.

"I know, Zhang Hao, let me ask you, is there enough money for disaster relief?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Not enough, it's definitely not enough!" Zhang Hao replied immediately, and then said: "However, this money can satisfy the people's food for two months, as well as supplies to keep out the cold. After two months, there may be no money to buy food And warm clothes!"

"It's okay if it can last for two months!" Jiajing felt relieved when he heard that.

Now that there is no money, it is not bad to have two months to relax.

No matter what method you think of, you have to collect the money for the disaster. If it doesn't work, there is still a mountain of money behind!

"Hey!" Jiajing stood up at this moment and sighed.

It's really a troubled time, and I originally thought that I would use this money to manage Daming well next year.

As a result, it was gone in a blink of an eye. It was not enough, and I had to worry about money.

"Zhang Hao, after the money is distributed, you, go to those places to see if these people have provided disaster relief. If anyone dares to mess around in there, you will beat him to death!" Jiajing stood there and said to him. Followed by Zhang Hao and said.

"Ah, you still have to go out in such a cold day?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in surprise and asked.

When Jiajing heard this, he stared at Zhang Hao.

"Can't you change people?" Zhang Hao still looked at Zhang Hao unwillingly and asked.

"Who would you go if you don't go? Others have such a deterrent effect? ​​As the censor of Zuodu, Tu Qiao can be assassinated. Those corrupt officials have no bottom line, they can do anything!" Jiajing stared Zhang Hao said dissatisfied.

"You can't change someone to make a fuss? For example, let Lu Bing go, he is the commander of Jinyiwei!" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at Jiajing depressedly and said.

"He's still finishing up the affairs of the harem, and those corrupt officials, he doesn't want to censor, you go! You go!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said bluntly.

"Hmph! You know how to bully honest people!" Zhang Hao muttered while sitting there.

Jiajing pretended not to hear, and Lu Fang and Yang Jinshui next to him also pretended not to hear.

Zhang Hao didn't dare to say anything in front of Jiajing.

In the next few days, Zhang Hao also ran out of money and bought things, not only from the capital, but also from various cities, including food and supplies.

Zhang Hao took the records of how much food was distributed to each continent, how much food was distributed to each county, how much food was in the warehouses of each county, and how many people in each county needed disaster relief.

It took almost half a month for the entire disaster relief work to be completed.

Seeing that Zhang Hao had no objections, the ministers were very happy and breathed a sigh of relief, but they had fooled this master.

This morning, Zhang Hao took Shen Lian and more than 200 guards out of the city.

Zhang Hao has been out of the city every day for the past few days, and they are all under his own rule, so everyone doesn't care.

But this time Zhang Hao went to Quzhou County in Guangping Prefecture.

When Zhang Hao and his group first arrived in Quzhou County, Ye Liangyu, the county magistrate of Quzhou County, was terrified.

Zhang Hao came over and brought a lot of Jinyiwei, many of which were scattered to various areas by Zhang Hao, and he only brought 20 Jinyiwei into the county.

"I've seen Marquis Lu An!" Ye Liangyu saw Zhang Hao quickly entered the county government office, and stood there clasping his hands in salute.

"Well. Go open the warehouse, I want points!" Zhang Hao looked at Ye Liangyu and asked.

"This, yes!" Ye Liangyu's forehead began to sweat when he heard it, and then he took Zhang Hao to the warehouse.

After opening the warehouse, Zhang Hao saw that there were still a lot of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, so he looked at Ye Liangyu in surprise.

"My lord, this batch of cotton-padded clothes and trousers was just delivered today, and they have just been registered for storage!" Ye Liangyu immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"Ledger!" Zhang Hao continued.

Ye Liangyu was so nervous, she came over with the account book, and Zhang Hao frowned when he saw the storage slip.

"Stored today?" Zhang Hao stared at Ye Liangyu and asked.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, the people below don't need so many cotton clothes, so what I mean is to stay here and continue to distribute them when they need them next year!" Ye Liangyu immediately knelt down and said very nervously.

"Come here, detain him, don't allow him to talk to other people!" Zhang Hao asked Jin Yiwei to detain him without saying a word.

"My lord, I'm right, I'm not corrupt, why detain me!" Ye Liangyu immediately raised her head and said to Zhang Hao.

These things are still in the warehouse and have not been turned into money, so they are not considered corrupt.

"Why are there still 3000 dans of food? Isn't there 1 dans?" Zhang Hao asked after looking at the ledger and then at the warehouse.

"The lower officials only received 4000 dans of grain, and 1000 dans have already been distributed!" Ye Liangyu immediately emphasized.

"Only 1000 dans? There are 42841 people affected by the disaster under your control, and each person needs 20 catties of food per month. In the first month, more than 8000 tans of food need to be distributed. You have sent 1000 tans. What about the food?" Zhang Hao was furious when he heard this. , staring at Ye Liangyu and asked.

"My lord, I only received 4000 dan. I haven't seen what you said so much!" Ye Liangyu stared at Zhang Hao and shouted.

"Haven't seen it? Did you write this note?" Zhang Hao said and found a note from his cloth pocket, which said Quzhou County collected 25921 dans of grain, and handed it to him!
"I didn't write it, I didn't write it!" Ye Liangyu shouted immediately.

"The seal is the big seal of your Quzhou County, you said you didn't write it?" Zhang Hao stared at him and questioned.

"My lord, all our seals have been taken back by the magistrate, just to get food and supplies!" Ye Liangyu continued to knelt down and said.

"Okay, let me just believe what you said, come here, control the city gate, and no one can leave the county tomorrow morning!" Zhang Hao said to the Jin Yiwei he brought.

"Yes, my lord!" A hundred households went out immediately.

"1000 dans of food, what do you think, the disaster-stricken people down here are so serious, 1000 dans of food is enough?" Zhang Hao stared at Ye Liangyu and cursed.

Ye Liangyu didn't say a word, of course he didn't know enough, but some people still dig out food from their homes, so there is no need to distribute food to them.

The same is true for cotton clothes and trousers. As long as they can be found, they will not be distributed. However, he has not reported them. Anyway, these materials are stored in the warehouse, and they will not be sold so soon.

The next morning, after Zhang Hao woke up, he was sitting in the courtroom of the county government, and Ye Liangyu was brought over.

"My lord, we visited about 200 villages last night, and most of them did not distribute cotton-padded clothes and quilts. We counted and found that these 100 villages distributed a total of 300 sets of cotton-padded clothes, [-] sets of quilts, and [-] dans of food. That's all!" Shen Lian came to Zhang Hao's side and said to Zhang Hao.

"You're really good!" Zhang Hao said to Ye Liangyu.

"My lord, I am wronged. I am not corrupt. Those people have food and quilts. Why should I give them?" Ye Liangyu said to Zhang Hao.

"But you reported that nearly 4 people were affected by the disaster and needed help. Why?" Zhang Hao stared at Ye Liangyu and shouted.

"I didn't report so many, I only reported more than [-] people. In our county, more than [-] people were affected by the disaster. I wrote it clearly. I have a draft!" Ye Liangyu shouted loudly.

"Go get it!" Zhang Hao stared at him and said, the fire in his heart was rising.
