The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 483 Where to start? !
"My lord, this is the bank treasury under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou Governor's Mansion. There are 74 taels of silver in the treasury. It is the tax balance from January to March."

Yincao reported to Yang Qingyuanhui with the bank's income and expenditure records.

"Only 74 taels left?!"

This number is a bit too little!There is a saying in Yuezhou that there are seven mountains, two waters and one field, but Yuezhou is famous all over the world for its wealth.

Yuezhou's handicraft industry and commerce are extremely developed, and it is close to the East China Sea.

Therefore, there are not a few finances that Yuezhou turns over to the central government every year, and the salaries on the southeast and southwest borders of Dazhou depend on the taxes of Yuezhou and Fujian.

With the wealth of Yuezhou, there are only 74 taels left in the treasury, which is inconceivable.

"Why is there so little left!?"

Yang Qingyuan asked casually.

"Master Yang, you don't know that Yuezhou has not been easy in the past two years. The hurricane hit the coast of Yuezhou the year before last, and Yuezhou suffered heavy losses. The governor's office of Yuezhou spent nearly a million taels just to repair the port and appease the victims. Last year, the canal was dredged, and the waterway was extended and widened, which cost nearly one million taels. This year, the Shenwu Army and the Qiantang Marine Division replaced their weapons and equipment. In addition to the 800 million taels this time, the treasury of Yuezhou was almost emptied Empty! The remaining 70 taels are used to distribute the monthly salaries of Yuezhou officials and city defense troops, and to repair the Mausoleum of Emperor Yu in Shanyin Prefecture."

"The 800 million taels are the salary raised by Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, which was collected from various places."

"..." Yang Qingyuan felt that life in Yuezhou was really tight after being told by Yincao.

For the taxation of rich places like Yuezhou and Yangzhou, the tax paid to the imperial court accounts for [-]% to [-]% of the local taxation.

The remaining 74 taels of silver are being neatly piled up in the silver treasury.

Even if there is only a fraction of the original inventory left, the 74 taels of cash is still enough to shock people.

"Isn't there any shortage of other silver taels?!"

"Yes!" Yin Cao replied.

"How often does this bank usually open!?" Yang Qingyuan continued to interrogate.

Yincao was obviously familiar with this, and replied without hesitation, "Generally, the business tax is counted every month, and it will be opened once when it is put into the treasury; when officials at all levels in Yuezhou distribute their monthly salaries, they will be opened once. The two times It is fixed every month. If it is other income and expenditure, it is a different matter. The withdrawal of every ingot of silver in this treasury requires the approval of the Yuezhou governor's office and even the imperial court, otherwise it will not be possible to withdraw one or two coins. come out."

Yang Qingyuan nodded to indicate that from the perspective of the treasury system alone, it is already relatively sound and complete!
Looking around the bank of Yuezhou, the bank was built of refined iron, and there was a layer of rocks wrapped around the refined iron. If you want to break through the walls and enter the bank, you can still do it.

But at the same time, it is not easy to avoid the attention of the stationed Shenwu army and the two masters of Yuanhua realm.

Once discovered, it will change from stealing to stealing!

Of course, you can also choose to bribe the garrison troops, but if 500 people want to buy them all, it will take a lot of time and energy to infiltrate.

After you complete this move, the original garrison will have to switch defenses, and a new team will come in, and the original efforts to buy will be in vain.

The guards of the bank are randomly selected from the Shenwu army, so it is difficult to predict in advance.

Yang Qingyuan's gaze immediately came to the ground under his feet.

"Wang Yincao, there is only one layer of stone slabs on the ground, and is there dirt underneath?!"

Wang Yincao immediately replied, "My lord, there is fine iron under the ground, and the whole bank is made of fine iron, making it a seamless one. This is for the sake of beauty, so a layer of fine iron is laid on top of the fine iron." Slate. So there are no loopholes underneath."

Yang Qingyuan nodded. In fact, although he had suspicions about the treasury, this suspicion was mostly dispelled when he confirmed that the other silver coins were still there.

Although 78 taels of silver is less than one-tenth of 800 million taels, it is a huge sum of money.

78 taels of silver can be used to distribute a year's monthly salary to six thousand and officials in Yuezhou.Even with the addition of the military salary of the city defense army of Yuezhou and Yizhou, it can be paid for more than seven months.

From the perspective of a thief, will you ignore the other 80 million after you get 8000 billion? !

The internal structure of the bank is very simple, and there is really nothing to see.

After a brief inspection, Yang Qingyuan left the bank.

However, the construction of the bank in Yuezhou is still good, not only the security performance is good, but the landscape is also good!There are also many trees and even ornamental bamboos planted in this bank, which also has the charm of Jiangnan gardens.

Although the scenery is good, the case has reached an impasse.

Now there is no clue at all, how did the payment get lost?It is even difficult for Yang Qingyuan to determine where the payment was lost?

However, it is impossible to solve the case according to the order of the criminals' crimes. Their ultimate goal is to find the lost salary.

After Yang Qingyuan returned to the imperial envoy Xingyuan, he and Di Zhiyuan immediately found Qinglong, the commander of Yuandong Town Fusi.

Under the guidance of Qinglong, Yang Qingyuan and the two went to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyi Weidong Town.

Receiving them is the governor of Dongzhen Fusi, Liu Wenyu!It is also a rare female senior official in Jinyiwei.

"Master Qinglong!"

"Master Yang!"

"Lord Di!"

Although Qinglong was temporarily dismissed from his position by Emperor Zhou, his prestige in Jinyiwei was difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.

The first time Liu Wenyu saw the three of them, she saluted Yang Qingyuan.

"I'm wearing a sinful body now, so I don't need to be too polite."

Liu Wenyu glanced at Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan, and then said sternly, "My lord's words are absurd! My lord is the head of my Jinyiwei. Even if I am temporarily dormant now, it will not affect my position in the Jinyiwei. My East Town Fusi Follow the example of adults!"

Qinglong looked at the girl he brought up, and his usually calm expression was slightly moved.

Different from Qinglong's touch, Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan looked at each other and saw something unusual. This envoy Liu Zhen has a deep scheming mind!

Soon Qinglong put away his emotions, "Commissioner Liu Zhen, Master Yang and Master Di are here to check the information this time, and I hope you will help me!"

"Master Qinglong, my lords, but Liu Wenyu dare not obey orders!"

Speaking of which, Liu Wenyu brought Yang Qingyuan and the others to the place where the chief division collected information. The headquarters of Dongzhen Fusi is in Shanyin Mansion. The intelligence of Yangzhou, Yuezhou, Minzhou, Lingnan, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou is all from Dongzhen. The Town Fusi is in charge.

The Fusi of Dongzhen is the most important of the four Fusi of Jinyiwei.

"I don't know what the two adults want to check?"

"I need to find out, what forces in Yuezhou can dispose of 800 million taels of silver without anyone noticing?"

Since it is temporarily impossible to find out how the thieves transferred the money without anyone noticing, it is better to start with the trace of the money.

And the most important task at present is to find the location of the payment.

For 800 million taels of silver, if you use ordinary horse-drawn carriages, you need at least hundreds of them, and you need several large boats to go by water.

As soon as the payment was lost, the main waterways in Yuezhou were blocked, and the possibility of transporting the payment out of Yuezhou by water was extremely small. The 800 million taels must still be in Yuezhou.

Under Qinglong's command, Liu Wenyu found two scrolls from the archive room and handed them to Yang Qingyuan.

Immediately Qinglong said, "Master Yang, in the territory of Yuezhou, the only ones who can deal with 800 million taels without anyone noticing without leaving any traces are Jiangnan Huajia and the Money Gang!"

Jiangnan Huajia is the largest real estate developer in the world, galloping anywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, from sunrise to sunset, you can't get out of Huajia's range.

The seven children of the Hua family, Hua Man Lou, are also one of Yang Qingyuan's friends.

When I first met Huamanlou, it was naturally because of Lu Xiaoji, an unreliable guy, and Yang Qingyuan was also blind at that time.

Because Dao Tong was too miraculous and uncontrollable, Yang Qingyuan, who had just arrived in this world, went blind!
So the two blind men also became friends.

Back then, when Yang Qingyuan was studying at the Imperial Academy, he often borrowed books from the Hua family, and when he was resting for a bath during the Spring Festival, he often went to the south of the Yangtze River.

On the contrary, after becoming the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, there is no leisure.

The last time he passed by Jiangnan, he ran into Huamanlou who was out visiting friends. If he hadn't met him, Yang Qingyuan hadn't seen Huamanlou for almost two years.

If the Hua family is the richest man in Jiangnan, then the money gang is the largest gang in Jiangnan.

At the beginning, the Qiang Gang was hidden in the rivers and lakes, and was rarely heard of, but it swept the Jiangnan martial arts overnight as an unworldly hero, and even suppressed the world-famous Qiantang Qixiufang, becoming the number one force in the Jiangnan martial arts.

The leader of the gang, Shangguan Jinhong, has entered the cave, and a pair of dragon and phoenix rings, a son and a mother, have reached the realm of perfection, wonderfully permeating nature, without rings and self.There is no trace to be found, and everything is indestructible.

Although he is not at the peak of martial arts, he also knows that he has long since cast aside mundane notions and is not tempted by things.
Seven years ago, Shangguan Jinhong defeated Sun Baifa, the number one master of Jiangnan martial arts, old man Tianji, and ruled Jiangnan.

Then [-] masters in the Jiangnan weapon spectrum were recruited, including Jing Wuming, "King Kong Tieguai" Zhuge Gang, "Wind and Rain Double Meteor" Xiang Song and many other masters to form the Money Gang.

When the money falls, the head is not guaranteed.

This is the power of the Qiang Gang in Jiangnan.

Yang Qingyuan carefully looked at the scroll in his hand, both the Hua Family and the Qiangqian Gang were capable of digesting the 800 million taels.

Even in terms of ability, the Hua family can more easily digest the 800 million taels.

The Hua family's property is everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not easy for ordinary people to hide hundreds of boxes, but for the Hua family, it is completely possible to separate the [-] boxes. Although the [-] boxes are conspicuous, but A few boxes are very inconspicuous.

Even if there is one box in one house, then only [-] houses are enough.

Eight hundred houses are really not a difficult task for the Hua family, the largest real estate developer in Dazhou.

And the Qiang Gang is also a wealthy party, and if they want to melt the 800 million taels of silver without attracting attention, although they are not as easy and free as the Hua family, they can still be done.

Although Yang Qingyuan had a good relationship with the Hua family, it didn't ease his doubts about the Hua family.

"Thank you Commander Qinglong, and thank you Liu Zhenfu for your assistance!"

Yang Qingyuan still thanked him habitually, although with his identity and official position, even if he didn't thank him, the other party wouldn't say anything.

But to be proud of the superior but not bear the inferior, to bully the strong but not to bully the weak, this is what a gentleman does.

Afterwards, Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan left Zhenfusi Mansion.

"My lord, this Liu Wenyu is probably not that simple!"

After being nurtured by Yang Qingyuan, Di Zhiyuan, who originally focused on investigating and reasoning, has also greatly improved his political literacy.

This is a good phenomenon. The law is used to restrain power, but at the same time it must also serve politics.

The two words of politics and law have always been inseparable.

If Di Zhiyuan can grow up sooner, the pressure on Yang Qingyuan in the court will be lessened.

"Tell me!"

"Although the Liu Zhenfu envoy just now showed an appearance of Qinglong's loyalty, but it was really out of date. She acted like this in front of us, she wanted to put Qinglong to death!"

Yang Qingyuan nodded, indeed.

Who are you? !The Yuezhou dethroning envoy of the emperor's imperial envoy, and the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, in Yuezhou, Yang Qingyuan can represent the emperor.

And Liu Wenyu expressed her loyalty to Qinglong in front of Yang Qingyuan, who could represent the emperor to a certain extent, what does this mean? !

This is not helping Qinglong regain prestige, or stabbing Qinglong with a soft knife in front of Yang Qingyuan.

If Yang Qingyuan reported this situation to the emperor, what would the emperor think? !

A ex-commander of the Fusi of Dongzhen who was dismissed as a crime can still have such great power, Jin Yiwei is not surnamed Zhu after all!
Even if he believed in Qinglong, a crack would be left in the emperor's heart.

The prestige is too high, and even the emperor's imperial edict and court order are not as effective as Qinglong's personal prestige. At this time, the emperor will start to fear Qinglong.

And this fear is an opportunity for Liu Wenyu to climb up.

Qinglong is a master of the Dongxuan Realm, and was cultivated by Emperor Zhou himself, so he must continue to use it, but it will not let Qinglong's prestige continue to grow.

Therefore, Qinglong will not be able to take the seat of Fusi in Dongzhen for the time being!

Among the remaining people, Liu Wenyu and another governor are the ones who are most likely to be appointed as the commander of the Procuratorate East Township Commander!
Following Di Zhiyuan's analysis, Yang Qingyuan nodded repeatedly. Even if Di Zhiyuan is above the imperial court, he can compete with those old foxes.

This kind of nurturing feeling-it's so good!
"My lord, do you think this Liu Wenyu will play any role in this case?!"

Di Zhiyuan's intuition always felt that this Liu Wenyu was not simple.

"It's hard to say now, we don't have any evidence at the moment." Yang Qingyuan shook his head and said, just from the detail that Liu Wenyu wants to climb up, he can't tell anything at all.

It is normal to want to be promoted all the way in the officialdom, but those who do not want to be promoted are very few.

"We should still start from the Hua family and the money gang to track down the whereabouts of the payment! Even if 800 million taels of payment are thrown into the water, it will cause a huge wave. I don't believe that it will disappear without a sound. within the state."

Then Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan split into two groups.

Di Zhiyuan continued to rush back to the camp of the Shenwu Army to track down the secret of the disappearance of the salary.

And Yang Qingyuan went to Qiantang Huajia and the Qiang Gang to see if he could find any clues from these two!
