Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Pain flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, even if he didn't want to think about it, there was nothing he could do...

Old five can!

If the fifth child was connecting with Guo Heng in Wudi, then everything would make sense!

Day and night defense!

House thief is hard to guard against!

I didn't expect that after checking and checking, I found my brother!

Zhu Biao was a little out of breath, and he didn't know what to do. At this moment, Liu Meng's voice came to mind, and a strange combination of wisdom and stupidity flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. How could Wu Di swallow so much money? Look at the accounts for October, November, and December."

brush!brush!brush!

Zhu Biao hurriedly flipped through the accounts,

"900 million taels from Wu land in October!"

"1000 million taels from Wu land in November!"

"Four hundred and fifty taels from Wu land in December?!"

Zhu Biao's hand froze suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Sent back 300 million taels from Wu in three months?!"

It happened to be the silver taels allocated by the treasury to Wu for disaster relief in the past year!

Let’s not talk about how the treasury has quietly brought in so much silver taels in the last three months,

The strangest thing is, why did Wu Di return the money for disaster relief in the past year? !

Is there any disaster in Wudi? !

In the end confiscated money from the treasury? !

Zhu Biao, who was extremely clever, was completely stunned!

Zhu Biaomu stayed where he was, "What's going on?"

Grandpa's eyes flashed, as if he understood something, he looked at Liu Meng and asked,

"The treasury is still losing money now?"

Liu Meng nodded, "It stands to reason that there should be more than 2000 million in storage at the end of this year, so there should be no shortage of money, but it is indeed a loss of money."

Grandpa laughed twice,

"I didn't expect our Ming officials to play this game."

As soon as Zhu Biao heard something in the Liu family's words, he hurriedly asked,

"Grandpa, what the hell is going on? Why didn't the money move at all, it just walked around from the capital to Wu, and why did the money disappear?!"

The grandpa sighed, "Your Highness, I still have this money, how much is the treasury short?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback, "I lost 5000 million taels a few days ago, thanks to Mr. selling salt to make up the shortfall, and I owe another 1000 million taels these days."

Grandpa had a strange expression, "Oh, when the 5000 million taels was short, the money was still there, but when the shortfall was made up, the money was gone. Now that the deficit is 1000 million taels, then the 1000 million taels should still be there, just not in the capital. .”

The more Zhu Biao was talked about, the more confused he became.

Why is the money in the national treasury still in deficit, but it will be gone after it is made up? !

What kind of magic is this? !

Grandpa thought for a while, and cleared his mind, "Your Highness, they are playing in the way of people from Yuan Dynasty. If you want to understand what's going on, you have to start from why the money went to Wu at the beginning of last year, and why it came back from Wu at the end of the year." Let's talk about it."

Zhu Biao nodded again and again, "This is what I don't understand the most!"

Grandpa's eyes flashed,

"Your Highness, in fact, this guy named Guo Heng didn't embezzle a tael of silver from the treasury in the whole of last year."

Zhu Biao: "???"

Chapter 159 Unimaginable means of corruption

Zhu Biaoqiang calmed down and said puzzled, "No matter how you investigate, Guo Heng is a huge greedy person. How could he not have been greedy for money?"

The grandfather shook his head, "Your Highness misunderstood, it's not that Guo Heng is not greedy, but whether he is greedy for money from the treasury."

The grandfather paused and continued to explain, "Does Your Highness know about Yuan Ren's lamb interest?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Of course I know. Lamb Li is the Central Asian businessman entrusted by the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty to lend money, because the principal and interest are the same, and the interest is rolling like lamb wool. In a short period of time, the interest can rise to several times the principal. times, so it is called Lamb Li..."

"Your Highness is indeed well-informed. In the final analysis, they are all businessmen's playthings. It's normal for His Highness to not think of them for a while."

Zhu Biao muttered, "You mean that Guo Heng is also lending money? But lending requires a principal, and a huge amount of principal. Yuan people are naturally rich, but how can Guo Heng get so much..."

Zhu Biao's voice became smaller and smaller, his eyes widened suddenly, and after reacting for a long time, he exclaimed,

"Guo Heng used the money from the treasury as the principal to lend money?!!!"

Even Zhu Biao felt that it was outrageous to say it, which was far more courageous than simple corruption!

To be honest, this is really hard for ordinary people to play, not only must they be brave, but also have skills!

Seeing Grandpa and Liu Meng nodding in unison, Zhu Biao swayed and suddenly remembered what Liu Xiu said,

Corrupt officials are capable officials.

This bastard is not only a capable official, it is not too much to say that he is a genius!Take the money from the national treasury to lend money, and let the whole Ming Dynasty work for him alone? !

Xiao Zhu is so full of words now that she can only walk a 6 by herself.

With a bang, Zhu Biao slumped on the chair, panting heavily. He had never investigated such a corruption case, and he took money from the Ming treasury to play.

Moreover, if you say that people are greedy, then they are really not greedy.

What happened to embezzling money from the treasury?

Will it be returned to you at the end of the year?

Then you say he is not greedy...

Grass!

The CPU is about to burn dry!

Grandpa poured Zhu Biao a bowl of water, and Xiao Zhu took it and drank it all. Grandpa continued,

"Your Highness, don't worry. If the treasury is still losing money, it will be a bit difficult to do. After all, the entire upstream and downstream of lending needs to be uprooted. But now they have lost another 1000 million taels, which is completely exposing their weaknesses!"

Zhu Biao looked at the grandfather in a daze, and asked, "How do you say that?"

The grandpa smiled mysteriously, "Your Highness, think about it. Take the 300 million taels for disaster relief in Wudi as an example. They use this money to lend, and there is a bottom line that they will never touch."

"What is it?"

Liu Meng answered, "I will never touch the principal."

Xiao Zhu's eyes flashed when he heard the words, revealing a contemplative look, and echoed,

"Yes, the principal is the source. With this principal, they can continue to lend money, but without this principal, it becomes a one-shot deal."

Grandpa nodded, "Yes, since they can lend money, they will definitely not directly embezzle money from the treasury. To use the words Erlang said, they will feel that they have no technical content in greed."

Technical content?

Although Zhu Biao had never heard of this term, he immediately understood it, and couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, Mr. always speaks amazingly. Thieves with skills are bandits without skills. Guo Heng and the others think they have fooled everyone." , naturally disdain to be a bandit."

"So, this group of people will never touch the principal." The grandpa grinned.

Zhu Biao was puzzled when he heard the words, "But the principal is indeed gone."

Grandpa shook his head, "Actually, the treasury deficit of 5000 million taels was a kind of temptation, and the money was still there at that time."

Zhu Biao was stunned, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, all the broken clues were instantly integrated together,

"The money is still there! It's just a loan outside?!"

"Yes, they would never use the principal, but something must have happened recently that made them eager to make a big fortune..." the grandfather continued to analyze.

Zhu Biao's mind flashed through the debate in the court hall a few days ago about the candidates to guard Yunnan.

The grass snake's dark thread stretches for thousands of miles!

It turned out that at that time, it was completely related to this matter!

"Grandpa, you continue." Zhu Biao straightened up involuntarily, looking at Grandpa.

Grandpa nodded, "So they released 5000 million. These accounts are not in Liu Meng's mind, but there may be some clues in the fake account books."

Zhu Biao rolled his eyes, "Well, it is true that this year to now, the expenditure has been around 5000 million."

"That's right," the grandfather said with a smile, "Perhaps the money was not used for lending, it was just shipped out of the capital, and when you checked the accounts, I told you that there was a deficit of 5000 million taels, and then I will see what your majesty is reaction."

"If His Majesty replenishes the national treasury, then the matter of 5000 million taels will be over, and they can openly steal the money. If His Majesty traces it to the end, and if their lives are in danger, they will immediately hand over the 5000 million taels If you come out, you will say that the accounts were calculated wrongly, and it is a crime of dereliction of duty if you die, even if you behead your family, you will not hurt your family."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help taking a breath, filled with shock and anger,

To my surprise, I didn't expect this group of corrupt officials to be so cunning!If I hadn't come to Liu's house tonight, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how Guo Heng works!

And the anger is that they have been greedy for 5000 million taels, and they dare to repeat the old tricks and use this trick to cheat money. If they make up for the 1000 million taels, then Lao Zhu and Xiaozhu will be played The big fool?

Zhu Biao clenched his fists tightly. So far, Guo Hengyi's entire corruption pattern has completely surfaced.

Liu Meng said timidly, "Your Highness, I don't understand. Since it's lending money, it's like Yuan people using Central Asian merchants to do it. Who is Guo Heng using?"

Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes, "Japanese pirates."

heard,

Grandpa and Liu Meng looked at each other, their eyes were full of fear, this could involve treason!

But when I think about it, Guo Heng dares to play with the treasury's money like this, I'm afraid there is nothing else he dared not do.

Zhu Biao put away the account book, got up and said,

"Grandpa, then I'm leaving."

The grandpa didn't want to stay, he knew that Zhu Biao was impatient to see blood.

and,
