Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 255 Your Highness, Goryeo seems to have a gold mine
Hearing this, Sun Chengdu hastily raised his head and looked at Guo An expectantly.

"Guo Changshi, can the villain really be exiled?"

"It's natural!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "But you have to explain clearly, how much have you been greedy for ink, and who are your accomplices?

In the end, His Royal Highness Yan Wang will also become a school inspection office in the mansion, which is dedicated to strict checker and other management.

If it is found that you dare to deceive His Highness King Yan, not only will your punishment be increased, but your parents, wives and daughters will also be implicated! "

Sun Chengdu couldn't help falling into silence.

Guo An looked serious, and said in a cold voice: "Why, enjoying such a high salary from Prince Yan's Mansion, and the benefits that the officials of the Chief Commissioner and the Procuratorate are envious of, and want to covet Mo Yan Palace money.

Such an ungrateful, wolf-hearted person, do you still want to cover him up? "

Sun Chengdu's face froze, and he quickly explained: "Guo Changshi misunderstood, and the villain is not sure, because I wait for these caravan stewards to be responsible for different areas, and we can't meet them on weekdays.

Even if you meet them, you won't talk about them. At most, you can compare how much and how good the goods are. "

Guo An said casually: "It's okay, you and other officials who want to be greedy for ink, there are always similarities. Moreover, in a place as big as a palm in Beiping Mansion, you can find out everything."

"For example, in Wanping County, we just need to go down, find a few villages at random, and chat with those farmers.

Do you think we can't ask you what these caravan stewards are doing down there? "

But upon hearing this, Sun Chengdu's pupils shrank, and his psychological defense immediately collapsed.

That's right, among all the officials in Beiping Mansion, this Guo Changshi is the most unusual and the most loved and trusted by the farmers.

But for those in charge, this Guo Changshi is also the most terrifying.

It's just that they never thought of it.

Today, this Guo Changshi is no longer the county magistrate of Wanping County, and even spends more than half a year in a year following His Royal Highness King Yan's expedition, and even has time to go to the countryside to inspect.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Yan, Guo Changshi, the villain confessed..."

Then, Sun Chengdu continued to say the names of several stewards.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth when he heard this, "There are so many bastards greedy for our money and ruining our reputation!"

Guo An stared at Sun Chengdu, and continued to ask in a deep voice: "Since when did you start buying at a low price and selling it to the family at a high price?
How much money have you embezzled in the past two years? "

Sun Chengdu replied slowly: "Back to Guo Changshi, the villain started buying cotton last year! Such a greedy money, probably has three hundred guan!"

"Three hundred strings?"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Immediately, he was furious again.

"You bastard, how much suffering and sweat do those farmers need to grow cotton and weave cotton cloth, yet you still want to suck their blood like those corrupt officials?"

"Also, do the guys with you know about this?"

"Back to Guo Changshi, they know about it!"

"Is the money still paid?"

"separated!"

"How many?"

"Probably around [-] per person!"

"Hmph, a group of black-hearted thieves, black-hearted thieves..."

Following Sun Chengdu's very 'honest' answer, Zhu Di's eyes turned red with anger.

"Guo Qing, we are going to kill this thief!"

Sun Chengdu's face was filled with panic, and he collapsed to the ground in fright.

Guo An quickly said: "Your Highness, if you kill them, you have to kill their whole family, which will bring more losses to Your Highness.

Moreover, this person was only greedy for a small amount of money, and did not harm anyone's life.

Otherwise, exile others, let him make money for the family, and repay the loss of the family. "

Zhu Di gave Sun Chengdu a hard look, and said coldly: "So, just follow what Guo Qing said.

Confiscated his home, and fined him twice as much money as he had embezzled.

Registered in the evil register, the three generations of his descendants are not allowed to enjoy any benefits of the Yan Palace! "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An, He Zhong and others responded quickly.

Immediately, Li Wang led a group of scribes and a group of guards from the Yan Palace, escorted Sun Chengdu, and ransacked his home.

Ever since he became the manager of the caravan of King Yan's Mansion, Sun Chengdu's house has been expanded once a year. At the same time, in the past two years, he has directly taken in two concubines.

Naturally, the expenses of Sun Chengdu's family also increased year by year.

There are even two more children.

In the past two years, Sun Chengdu's family has been the envy of all the neighbors.

It's a pity that this time, the house was directly ransacked by Yan Wangfu, and even the house was not paid off to Yanwangfu.

Immediately, the neighbors all around started discussing excitedly.

It's just that these neighbors didn't have a clear discussion before they heard that the few guys who followed Sun Chengdu not far away had their homes ransacked.

then.

Another two days later.

There were eight or nine caravan stewards under King Yan's mansion, and the whole caravan's staff were also ransacked.

Only then did the news spread.

It was these caravan stewards who took the money from King Yan's Mansion to buy goods from farmers in various states and counties at low prices, and then handed them over to King Yan's Mansion at normal prices.

Not only did he entrap the common people, but he also corrupted the property of Prince Moyan's mansion.

Immediately, the farmers in the entire Beiping Prefecture began to yell at Sun Chengdu and those in charge day and night, and the eighteen generations of their ancestors also greeted them one by one.

Even when going to the latrine, or when doing errands, you also have to send a few greetings.

Sun Chengdu and other managers, including the family members of the caravan guys, also started to be looked down upon every day.

In this regard, the remaining caravan stewards and fellows who have not found out the problem for the time being, are all anxious all day long.

However, the scribes in King Yan's Mansion, as well as the officials of the newly-built Procuratorate Department, still run around the villages in various states and counties all day long.

In this way, it lasted for half a month.

This matter just ended slowly.

Yanwang Palace, Chengyun Hall.

A scribe from the Changshi Department took out a memorial and reported it respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, this time, Sun Chengdu, Qi Baoliang and other caravan stewards and fellows who were corrupt and oppressed the peasants were found. There were a total of 43 people who had corrupted more than 600 ink."

"hiss……"

In the hall, all the officials and generals could not help but take a cold breath, their faces full of shock.

"Hmph, the managers of a few small caravans have been greedy for so much money in just two years?

These are all the anointing of the folks in their hometown! "

On the throne, Zhu Di had a gloomy face.

"According to the law of the Great Ming Dynasty, these thieves should be stripped of the bark! However, they still have some use, so they confiscated their property and fined them double the dirty money and twenty sticks.

And exile him to Goryeo. When we pay back the money owed to our house, we can get rid of the untouchables. "

"Your Highness's kindness is the honor of these black-hearted thieves."

Hearing this, Zhu Fu and all the officials could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they wished to cut Sun Chengdu, Qi Baoliang and others into pieces, they were their own family after all.

And now, there was still one life left, and they couldn't help feeling a little joy in their hearts.

His Royal Highness King Yan is not as brutal as His Majesty, they are lucky!

Zhu Di continued: "However, we will never allow such black-hearted stewards who oppress and exploit farmers to appear again.

In the future, there will be secret surveillance by the school.

In addition, in the same caravan, no matter who dares to embezzle money and oppress the common people, including you and other officials, they will all be fined. "

"Follow Your Highness's order!"

At this moment, all the officials couldn't help but feel a desire to cut Sun Chengdu, Qi Baoliang and others into pieces.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, all the officials dispersed.

Since Zhu Di never wanted to hide anything from the outside world, he was punished by Yan Wangfu in the morning.

After noon, everyone in the entire Beiping Mansion knew who should know.

Day two.

Those who shouldn't know know it too.

Of course, the people who are most happy are the people of Yan Wangfu.

As for the officials of the Beiping Mansion, they also had miserable faces.

The king of Yan came suddenly, so how can these officials survive?

Zhu Di just didn't know about this and would not pay any attention to it.

……

It was a few days later.

The fleet of King Yan's Mansion and Korea's merchants returned again.

"The humble minister can still see His Highness Zhou!"

"How is Goryeo now?"

Zhu Di asked with a gentle face.

Shang Kezhou replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, according to my observations, the goods and money that the nobles in Korea can provide in these few times of business seem to be much less."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "Then this caravan?"

Shang Kezhou hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the caravan needs more goods this time."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why?"

Shang Kezhou said: "Reporting to Your Highness, some nobles in Korea actually found gold and silver mines."

Zhu Di was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Did you really find gold and silver mines? How much gold and silver can be extracted every year?"

Shang Kezhou said: "Your Highness, forgive me, this matter is only judged by my ministers based on the gold and silver they paid.

As for how big the gold and silver mines those Korean dignitaries found and how much gold and silver they could calcine out, the humble official couldn't find out. "

"Be sure to check it out!"

Zhu Di said.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Shang Kezhou responded quickly.

On the side, Guo An could only dissuade in a hurry: "Your Highness, don't worry."

"Why are we not in a hurry?"

Zhu Di had already widened his eyes in a hurry, "If we hadn't been going back to the capital to meet the emperor in a few days, we would have personally led the troops to go to Koryo to capture the gold and silver mines!"

Shang Kezhou was shocked.

As for Guo An, he could only helplessly say with a wry smile, "Your Highness is brave, and with the generals of the Yan Palace, I will definitely be able to attack the Koryo gold and silver mines all the way."

"It's natural."

Zhu Di looked confident.

Guo An said: "However, I really don't know how far the gold and silver mines are from the capital of Koryo.

After His Highness attacks, how many soldiers of King Yan's Palace will be injured?How many soldiers are needed to defend those gold and silver mines?
Then, how much hard work does His Highness need to mine calcined gold and silver mines? "

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then looked depressed again.

"Damn it, in a small and barren country like Goryeo, there are gold and silver mines."

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the richer Goryeo is, the more beneficial it will be to my Yan Palace!

Our Prince Yan's Mansion only needs to deliver some goods to them, and they can send the calcined gold and silver to our ship.

Such a lucrative business, why does His Highness need to use weapons! "

"Ugh!"

Zhu Di nodded helplessly, "Let's listen to Guo Qing for now."

Guo An continued to ask: "Ke Zhou, you waited for the peppers shipped to Korea last time, how did the nobles of Korea react?"
