Lord Moyu was forced to open

As soon as you walk into Lijia Village, you will see the large tile-roofed houses of every household. The road to the end of the road is the Huangzhuang warehouse in Lijia Village.

Walking on the village road that had been cleared of snow, Zhao Jun and his party finally arrived at the warehouse. As soon as they opened it, bags full of grain appeared in front of everyone.

Zhao Jun stepped forward and stretched out his hand to the side. Wang Huaien immediately took out the food spy from his arms and handed it over.

Zhao Jun was patrolling the entire granary with his grain spy in hand, observing the expression on Wang Dahai's face from time to time. Suddenly!

Stopped in front of the third row of grain bags on the east side of the granary!

Poof!

The food spy pointed at a grain bag in the hand of a high-level official and stabbed it out!

The sharp probe successfully made a small hole in the sack, just big enough for the grain spy to go in. After the grain spy took it back, Zhao Jun poured out the grain from the probe in front, twisted a grain and tasted it carefully. .

Well, it's all new rice, so there's no weird smell.

Nodding slightly, just as Wang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Jun took out the grain spy in his hand and reached into the grain bag in the middle.

Then came the bottom floor again.

After trying them one by one, I found no cases where they could be replaced with old grains or other things.

Wang Huaien on the side also had a smile on his face.

Their eunuchs are in charge of these imperial villages, and now he is the biggest eunuch. If there is a problem in the imperial village, he will not be able to interfere with it.

It's best to have nothing to do now.

Just when everyone thought Zhao Jun was going to end like this, Zhao Jun suddenly said hello: "Come here!"

Before anyone else could react, a forbidden soldier with a sword on his waist rushed in from the entrance of the warehouse.

The leader immediately cupped his fists and said:

"The general is here!"

"Move all the grain bags outside, I want to check what's inside!"

"promise!"

Hundreds of forbidden troops began to quickly move aside the grain bags on the periphery of the grain pile that Zhao Jun was exploring.

Zhao Jun turned to look at Wang Dahai and asked: "Manager Wang, I want to see the quality of the food inside. Do you... have any objections?"

Wang Dahai had a smile on his face, but he smiled very reluctantly, not because he felt guilty, but because you have already asked people to move. What can I do if I have objections? I could only nod and smile:

"No objection, no objection. Your Excellency was ordered to investigate, and you should investigate more carefully. How can I have any objections?"

"That's the best!"

Zhao Jun nodded slightly, then turned his back and watched the Imperial Guards carrying it without saying a word.

At this time, Wang Huaien had already approached Wang Dahai and asked in a low voice: "You didn't do anything, did you?"

Wang Dahai smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice: "Oh, my ancestors, how can my grandson dare? Don't worry, there is no tampering.

only……"

Having said this, Wang Dahai glanced at Zhao Jun cautiously, but did not continue.

Wang Huaien's heart suddenly thought, it's over!

Is there something wrong?

He hurriedly asked: "Just what? If you keep trying, we'll get you a laundry service!"

Wang Dahai hurriedly asked:

"No, no, it's just who is this inspector, our ancestor? Is the investigation so strict? Why haven't we heard of it? And he actually brought his wife and children with him on errands. Where did this high-ranking official come from? ?”

Wang Huaien breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it turned out to be just a question of the emperor's identity. He glared at him angrily and said:

“Watch your mouth, you will know what you should know naturally, and if you don’t know, you should pretend not to know.

Otherwise, you won’t know when or why you died.

As for this man's identity, ask less and live longer. " "Yes Yes Yes! Sun Tzu understands! No more questions! No more questions! "

Wang Dahai quickly shut up. He knew that he might really die if he asked any more questions, so he kept his mouth shut.

While they were talking, the grain bag in the middle was also exposed. Zhao Jun explored it up and down as before, and then he was satisfied and asked the imperial army to move the grain back to its original place.

Then he walked over to Wang Dahai and the others and said, "Bring me this year's account book and call the people in the village to gather at the threshing floor."

"promise!"

Wang Dahai immediately made arrangements. Zhao Jun also ordered the imperial army to count the number of bags of grain in the grain depot, and then called for a weigher to weigh the next bag of grain. After roughly calculating the weight of the next bag of grain, Zhao Jun took Wang Huai'en with him. Heading towards the threshing floor.

When Zhao Jun and his party arrived at the threshing floor, everyone in Lijia Village was also called over. They all whispered to each other with puzzled faces and asked what happened, but no one knew the answer.

As for Wang Dahai, who knew the answer, he was carrying the account books with others at the moment and was not here.

Zhao Jun waited for a quarter of an hour at the threshing floor before Wang Dahai led someone to bring a whole stack of ledgers over.

Panting, he placed it at Zhao Jun's feet.

Zhao Jun picked up the top general ledger, which recorded the collection records over the years. Zhao Jun knew at a glance that past projects could not be seen. Year after year, they all cost an outrageous amount. It's not just that there is a disaster and no income, this is obviously problematic.

But Zhao Jun didn't care. Of course he knew that there must be problems with these imperial villages in the past. Not long after he ascended the throne, he asked Wang Huai'en to conduct an inventory of the imperial villages.

Most of the current Huangzhuang stewards were promoted later, and the bad debts in previous years have nothing to do with him and cannot be blamed on him.

What Zhao Jun mainly looks at is the records of the 28th year of Tiansheng after he ascended the throne, and the first year of Xingwu.

In the twenty-eighth year of Tiansheng, after being cleaned up by himself, the numbers on this account were finally very different from before.

First of all, the original account book of the entire Lijiazhuang with a total of 636 acres of imperial land has become a total of 13,636 acres of imperial land in Lijiazhuang.

Good guy, that bunch of bitches from before actually left only a small fraction for the royal family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun suddenly regretted killing them so cheaply. After taking so many benefits from the royal family, it was too cheap for them to simply execute them. They should have been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!

Huangzhuang has a total population of more than 800 people and about 17 households, each of whom cultivates about acres of land. In previous records, they were recorded as having more than people and less than households, each of whom cultivates three acres of land!

Angrily, he turned over the previous ledger and looked at this year's harvest.

The entire Lijia Village collected more than 62,000 shi of grain in the summer and autumn of the first year of Xingwu. According to the tax revenue of 30% of Huangzhuang, Huangzhuang collected a total of 20,460 shi of grain.

And this number is similar to what I calculated in the granary just now. This means that there is no problem with the grain reserves of Lijiazhuang.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun finally felt more satisfied, but this was not the end, he still had to count the names of the villages.

Zhao Jun immediately came to the villagers and said loudly:

"Everyone, I am the inspector sent by the Holy One to inspect the Imperial Village. Today I need your cooperation to tell me the taxes paid by each household this year and the harvest amount of the fields.

I can use it to check grain reserves. In the past, everyone cooperated! "

As soon as they heard that the young man in front of them was actually sent by the emperor to inspect the grain reserves, everyone suddenly became excited and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely cooperate!"

"Since it is sent by His Majesty, I will definitely cooperate with you!"

"Sir, feel free to ask, we will never hide anything!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is so kind. You must let your Majesty find out the true number. You cannot let others deceive Your Majesty!"

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then began to read the names according to their names.

"Li Daniu!"

"I'm here!"
