Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 422 Qi Party’s Fear

The Institute of Integrity will do nothing if it does not take action. Once it takes action, it must be shocking. This is the original intention of Zhu Youxiao to set up this department. The purpose is to severely punish corruption and eliminate all those who dare to violate the law, dare to embezzle and bend the law, and dare to practice favoritism and malpractice. Take it!

After Cui Chengxiu left the Qianqing Palace, he quickly gave instructions and responses. A memorial was submitted to the cabinet as quickly as possible. Before the officials in the outer court could fully react, when the gates of the capital were just opened the next morning, a large-scale army The small team of the Integrity Commission left the capital in a mighty manner, which caused a great sensation!

A guild hall somewhere in the capital.

"Have you checked it out?"

Qi Shijiao, the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was sitting uneasily. He looked at Qian Menggao who was coming in a hurry and said with a slight nervousness: "Are these people from the Integrity Institute led by Cui Chengxiu really heading to Shandong?"

"He's going to Shandong."

Qian Menggao's face was ugly, and he frowned and said: "According to the news from the cabinet, the water transport was discovered while sorting through the files on the Beizhili warehouse deficit case."

It’s over.

When Qi Shijiao heard this, his expression seemed a little unnatural, and he sat directly on the official chair. He never thought that Cui Chengxiu would choose to leave the capital at this time. He led the team to leave Beijing and go to Shandong.

"Then what did Mr. Sun Ge say?"

Qi Shijiao looked at Qian Menggao and said: "We can't ask Cui Chengxiu to investigate the water transportation. This investigation will be a big deal. The Integrity Institute..."

"The cabinet meeting is not over yet."

Qian Menggao replied: "Now I can't see Mr. Sun Ge at all!!"

The storm is coming.

Qi Shijiao's hands trembled slightly.

When Cui Chengxiu led the Integrity Institute, he made great fanfare to investigate the deficit in the warehouse in Beizhili. Qi Shijiao was worried, fearing that the case would involve other things, such as water transportation.

As the leader of the Qi Party, sitting in this position, Qi Shijiao knows too many secrets. Many times, even if he does not want to get involved, the people below, including those who are inextricably connected, will not sit back and watch their interests flow from them. Slip away from hand.

And water transportation has always been the big one!

"Do you think Cui Chengxiu's move was inspired by the emperor?"

Qi Shijiao tried hard to stabilize his mind, looked at Qian Menggao and said: "It has been several months since the Beizhili Cangchang deficit case. It's a good thing. I didn't check the water transportation earlier, and I didn't check the water transportation later. I just chose to check the water transportation now. Only I'm afraid that if Cui Chengxiu goes to Shandong, he will definitely make big moves."

"I'm afraid it's because of the emperor's instructions."

Qian Menggao frowned and said: "The collection of autumn grains from various places has basically been completed. Whether it is the grain delivered to Beijing or the discounted silver delivered to Beijing, it has begun to be shipped from various places. At this time, the Integrity Council is dispatched, and it must be listening to the news. Something has happened, otherwise it would never be like this."

Ok.

The civil servants in Beijing, and even the various parties and factions, have no idea what is happening in Shandong. However, an important thing is happening right now. After the autumn grain collection in various places, a large amount of money and grain will be released from various provinces. In Beijing, summer taxes and autumn grain taxes have always been the bulk of the national treasury.

In addition, there is the capita tax and the salt tax.

Even though the central court has always been unstable, the Ming Dynasty's own system still operates along the inherent model. This is the benefit of centralized rule under the unification. As long as the situation in the central court is not chaotic to a certain extent, then The place cannot be messed up.

This is why, since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne from Yuji, major events involving the national economy and people's livelihood will be limited to the central court and not too involved in local areas.

As long as the situation in the central court does not reach a certain level of chaos, the place will tend to stick to the rules. On the contrary, this can avoid increasing the burden on the lower class groups.

If the central government dares to introduce any new policies or tax policies, then the local government will definitely do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. In the end, the central finance department may receive additional tax money, but there will be an additional amount of tax money corresponding to it, which is invisible. Added to the bottom group.

People sue officials?

This is just a joke!

Although Zhu Youxiao hated this kind of bureaucracy, he had to restrain himself. There was no other way. Daming's family background was too thin and he absolutely couldn't mess around. To solve the problem, you must find the source and hit it with one hit!

This will solve the problem.

Under such a general background, Zhu Youxiao should develop Beizhili to enhance his basic foundation, while focusing on the few and the best, and strive to catch one, so that he can ruthlessly kill a group of people, rather than a large number of people. Cast the net so that the effect is not significant.

"I said at the beginning that the batch of Caoliang and Caoyin could not be delayed. Now it's better. The Integrity Commission has been dispatched. Once this situation is discovered, it will be difficult to explain the matter."

Qi Shijiao frowned and clenched his fists.

"It's useless to say that now."

Qian Menggao frowned and said: "Now that the matter has arisen, we must find a way to solve it, at least not to let the Integrity Commission find out."

"How to deal with it?"

Qi Shijiao frowned and said, "Most of the grain from Shandong was sold privately. If we want to collect a batch of old grain to pass off as fake grain, we don't have enough time."

Ok.

With the territory of Beizhili, groups of bankrupt groups were gathered together by Shaofu Yousi, and large quantities of grain sales were invisibly gathered towards Beizhili.

This is the siphon phenomenon formed by intensive manual manufacturing.

Resources.

money.

food.

Manpower...

As time goes by, because of the siphon phenomenon formed, it will evolve into a trend of convergence towards North Zhili. It may be slow, but the overall change is like this.

"Then dismantle and mix."

Qian Menggao frowned and said: "No matter how we get through this problem first, the most difficult thing right now is not us, but their Zhejiang Party. Whether it is Caoliang or Caoyin, they have seized more, and some from the southeastern provinces People, it’s a two-pronged attack, not just the Zhejiang Party, but also the Donglin Party, and the situation won’t be much better.”

"For today's plan, this is the only way."

Qi Shijiao sighed softly.

In the current situation, even if he, the Qi Shijiao, is not involved, as the leader of the Qi Party, if something goes wrong, he must take over. Otherwise, can you be the party leader?

This broad alliance between the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang factions is nominally to suppress the Donglin Party, but in fact, behind them, there is also a broad transfer of interests.

As the leader of the Qi Party, Qi Shijiao's teacher was Fang Congzhe, and Fang Congzhe had a very high status in the Zhejiang Party before he stepped down from the position of chief minister of the cabinet. Maybe there is some denial of this, but when it comes to reality, Fang Congzhe The position of the Zhejiang Party cannot be shaken by anyone.

There is a secret profit transmission line between the Qi Party and the Zhejiang Party, which involves water transportation. Cui Chengxiu went to Shandong in the name of tracing. This has just begun, but it has already alarmed Qi Shijiao and others, and even It gave rise to fear in their hearts...
