Chapter 970
The censors sent to various places were originally responsible for monitoring the officers and soldiers who suppressed civil uprisings.Prevent soldiers and generals from committing crimes such as killing good men and taking advantage of meritorious deeds, or taking advantage of the chaos to loot large households.

Yin Xiaocheng manages the army well, and his laws are very strict.Although the defenders from all over the country were dispatched from time to time, they all had strict military discipline, and there was no violation of discipline or law.

The censors didn't have much opportunity to show their talents in their jobs, but they learned the reason for the civil uprising—the taxes in Yuanzhou and other places were really heavy, unusually heavy.

The Wonju area has developed commerce and trade, and the arable land can be considered fertile. It is a famous place to gather wealth and has a lot of tax revenue.Correspondingly, officials serving in Yuanzhou and other places are relatively lucrative.

In other words, taxes in Wonju and other places are heavier than other places.However, since the year before last, the taxes in Yuanzhou and several surrounding states and counties have reached terrifying heights.

The reason is: the imperial court wants to build a transportation track.

Therefore, the rumors of civil uprisings in Yuanzhou and other places are not groundless, but that the imperial court has indeed implemented heavy taxes in Yuanzhou and other places, very heavy taxes.

The evidence and data collected by censors in various places are not the same, but one thing is consistent, that is, the taxation of Yuanzhou for two consecutive years has greatly exceeded the amount recorded by the Ministry of Households, and it is not even in the private accounts of the Prince's Mansion and the Ministry of Households. recording.

This kind of reckless plunder can really cut off the vitality of a large area.In fact, before the drought, the business and trade in Wonju had already been seriously affected.Farmers who depend on the sky for food, are also suppressed by heavy taxes with only a trace of life left, and they are all struggling to stay alive.

Therefore, when a natural disaster strikes, Yuanzhou and other places have no power to deal with it.

The records played by Yushi are different from the account books handed in by Jin Rong, and there is no way to cover them up.There were not many censors sent to the disaster area, less than ten.But this number, plus their entourage, cannot control the news from leaking at all.

Hubu Shangshu Yu Shiqing waited for this day with trepidation after Yin Xiaocheng and Yu Shi set off.Then, this day really came, and the knife that was hanging above his head was already inevitable.

The excerpts played by the censor were placed on the case, and the emperor and the four ministers in the cabinet were silent.

There are many things that are not easy to say clearly, and there is no need to say clearly.

It is really impossible for the crown prince to be so frenzied in amassing wealth and squandering it.If such a prince is allowed to inherit the great treasure, without the need for foreign enemies to attack, the prince will be able to ruin his own country.

It's a pity that Shiqing and others, knowing the prince's character, still support him to the top. Does this mean that they want to be ministers of subjugation?

The emperor did not publish those two account books, but only investigated the taxation of Yuanzhou, demoted the crown prince to King Jing, and Yu Shiqing committed suicide by drinking poison. foot.

On the contrary, local officials, except for some powerful officials who know the inside story, the rest of the lower-level officials follow orders.

The imperial envoy who investigated the local officials took the confession issued by Dali Temple and the emperor's imperial decree, and took the guards sent by the palace to Yuanzhou to arrest the officials involved in the case.

For a moment, the court shook.

…………

These things have nothing to do with the common people, and the common people even cheered and praised the court for punishing officials without favoritism.

Ye Xinyan is considered a powerful person, but she is not affected.Half a month later, the Qi family in the back alley of the Duke's Mansion was very lively. Qi Younian settled his affairs in Yuanzhou and other places and returned to the capital.

Jiang Yifan and his wife took Qi Younian back with some grandeur, bringing the two boys of the Qi family, Yuan Shang, and a group of stewards and respectable craftsmen from the construction company.

Everyone had a warm meal, arranged for the old man to rest early, and made an appointment to come back the next day.

On the second day, Jiang Yifan and the others arrived early, and together with Yuan Shang and others, they officially came to greet Qi Younian.

Although Qi Younian had traveled for more than ten days, he was still in good spirits. He also had a night's rest and was accompanied by his grandson and nephew. He was cheerful and in good spirits.

Everyone sat in the living room, and after the tea and fruits were served, it was time to chat and greet after a long absence.

The two sides explained their respective situations in detail, and when Qi Younian told about the situation of the disaster-stricken people in Yuanzhou, everyone lamented.

The Qi family has opened a total of seven construction branches in Yuanzhou and neighboring counties.Many artisans and small workers were recruited locally, and Qi Younian knew nothing less than the supervisory censor about the exploitation of the people in Yuanzhou and other places in the past two years.

Although the rumors and the situation announced by the imperial court were true, it was a different kind of heaviness for people who had seen it with their own eyes to tell the story.

Fortunately, Qi Younian's trip was extremely successful. When he passed, Yuanzhou was full of starvation and all industries were in decline. A large number of skilled craftsmen had nothing to do. As long as they were given food, they could pick the best ones. artisan.

In addition, Zhang Wusi went to sit in the town, and the manpower, property, and equipment he brought over from Qingyuan County nearby, and soon a team of seven semicolons was built.With the support of the temple project funded by the imperial court, it is enough for Guangsha to gain a firm foothold.

Except for Yuan Shang and the two artisans in charge, they were all from their own family.So Ye Xinyan didn't evade, and sat beside Jiang Yifan.

Yesterday was short, and she didn't have time to ask about the situation of the Yuanzhou Branch. At this time, she heard Qi Younian's detailed account of the operating conditions of the Construction Bank Branch in the Yuanzhou area, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The world's best builder she had hoped for would not be far away.

After the audience had finished speaking, she interrupted and asked, "Grandpa, Grandpa Zhang and Li Jingnian are guarding the semicolon, so you don't have to go there anymore, right?" She had been looking forward to Grandpa's return for a long time.

Qi Younian smiled and said: "Yes. With your Grandpa Zhang guarding, Li Jingnian and Zhao Qiusheng are also his own people, so I won't need my old man for the time being."

Although Qi Younian has not been in the capital for a long time, his granddaughter, grandson and nephew are all in the capital.Then, the capital is home, a place where he can care about and feel warm.

At this time, Qi Younian was already very satisfied.At the beginning, when he returned to his old business, he was thinking of earning a dowry for his granddaughter and a family business for his grandson. Now, the addition of navigation has exceeded his expectations by many times.

He is content.

Jiang Yifan smiled from the side: "Grandpa, you don't know that Ah Yan is really worried these days, and she always looks forward to your return and take care of her construction business. Look how happy she is."

Ye Xinyan also laughed, and said: "I'm really not familiar with the specific affairs of the construction industry. A few days ago, I recruited a lot of craftsmen. These days, I am very worried."

In the past, Qi Younian, Zhang Wusi, Wang Qiao and others did specific work.Even after coming to the capital, Zhao Qiusheng, Li Jingnian, Yang Jin and others were there to help her. Ye Xinyan felt that she was just moving her mouth, or thinking about her appearance, artistic conception, etc. She really didn't think she would have any shortcomings.

Qi Younian took away most of the reliable and capable people this time, and went to Yuanzhou to build a semicolon team.Ye Xinyan discovered that she was actually not good at building, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

At this time, she felt how comfortable and pleasant it is to be a rice bug who loves to relax and hates work.
