Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

What the hell is going on that they don't know about?

"Hit, open!"

Li Shimin's voice trembled a little.

Cui Zhentang who was standing in front frowned and stepped aside.

Immediately, a eunuch came off the scene and took the big white cloth from Li Junxian.

The big cloth was slowly opened, extending from the inside of the Tai Chi Palace to a place far outside.

The officials saw that the white cloth was dyed red with blood-red names, which looked hideous and terrifying.

"There is no food in Liaozhou, and 430 five refugees have been relieved for a month, and there is no complaint against the court."

Eunuch Wang De slowly read the blood on it.

When the number thirty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-five was read out, the monarchs and ministers changed their colors again.

Unknowingly, so many refugees gathered in Liaozhou!

How did Liaozhou survive without food?

Everyone was shocked, tragic, and very puzzled. They heard the eunuch Wang De continue to read aloud.

"The [-] shi of grain from Bingzhou in the west was stopped by Cui Yuanting, the governor of Bingzhou, and the [-] shi of grain in Langzhou from the south was seized by Cui Zhentang, the servant of the household department, and Zhao Yingcai, the governor of Langzhou, was wronged to buy low and sell high."

"Liaozhou understands that the imperial court cannot prepare food for Liaozhou if it wants to support the war, but the food prepared by Liaozhou itself will also be seized. Are 430 and five refugees not worthy of living?"

"Aren't we worthy to live?"

"Co-signers: Fang Yuan, Zhang San, Yang Sina, Su Chen, Zhou Kaile, Sun Taihe, Wang Wenshu..."

Eunuch Wang Delang read the words on the blood cloth.

After reading it is a personal name, which is written all over the blood cloth, it is estimated that there are as many as thirty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-five.

Don't we deserve to live?

These six words deeply hit the hearts of everyone present.

The faces of the monarchs and ministers changed drastically, and it was hard to imagine how desolate it was.

Cui Zhentang's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Eunuch Wang De continued to read aloud the names of the people on the blood book, which were the names of people who were trying to survive.

Every time I read one, the hearts of everyone present are heavy.

"enough!"

Li Shimin slapped the desk and roared.

With a bang, the hearts of the ministers present also jumped heavily.

"Your Majesty, the thirty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-five refugees in Liaozhou are hungry, but Cui Zhentang, the servant of the household department, seized the food regardless of black and white. He wronged the loyal minister Zhao Yingcai, and I thought he would be suspended pending trial!"

Du Ruhui immediately stood up and impeached Cui Zhentang.

As soon as the words fell, some ministers immediately stood up and seconded the proposal.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Yingcai really has improper contacts with many governors and county magistrates in Shannan Road!"

Cui Zhentang was shocked and stood up in a panic to call for injustice.

It was terrible, 430 people wrote blood letters to sue themselves.

This shocking blood book was in front of him, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it off.

So Cui Zhentang didn't dare to say that Zhao Yingcai bought low and sold high, and directly transferred it to another criminal evidence he found.

"Your Majesty, Cui Zhentang, Minister of the Household Department, ignored the lives of 430, [-] refugees, and only cared about his own self-interest. I thought he would be suspended pending trial, and immediately resumed the official position of Langzhou Inspector Zhao Yingcai."

Changsun Wuji also stood up to impeach Cui Zhentang.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Another group of ministers walked out.

They wanted to convict Cui Zhentang one after another.

More than 3 refugees jointly signed a blood letter, which is iron proof!

"Your Majesty, the subject is innocent!"

Cui Zhentang could only shout out his grievances.

But no matter how loud the voice was, it seemed so pale.

"Your Majesty, Cui Shilang just acted unintentionally, please deal with it lightly."

There are also those who stand up and speak out for Cui Zhentang, and there are quite a few of them.

There are the most people with five surnames and seven Wangs in the court, and their relationships are intricate.

"Okay, shut up all of them!"

"Cui Zhentang was suspended for investigation, Cui Yuanting was suspended for investigation, and official Zhao Yingcai was reinstated. Immediately allocate food to Liaozhou!"

Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Seeing that all the ministers shut up, they issued the result.

Cui Zhentang's pale face became ugly, but he could only accept this result.

Suspension is only for investigation, it is not the final result, and it is useless to refute at this time.

After all, the more than 3 joint blood books are displayed here nakedly, and no amount of words would seem pale.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Du Ruhui and others saluted.

The blood books of thousands of people were also put away.

Zhao Yingcai was released, and the food was escorted to Liaozhou.

Everything seemed to be resolved, but it offended the Boling Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs.

A more terrible storm thus slowly formed.

......

The gate of Liaozhou city.

After the day of tens of thousands of blood letters, the disaster relief has returned to its original state.

The gruel was guaranteed, and order was maintained by handpicked refugees.

The time has entered April, the weather is no longer cold, refugees are not as difficult as it was at the beginning.

Liaozhou City still selects 200 people to enter the city every day. From the beginning to now, more than 6000 people have been selected.

Fang Yuan's previous policy was to allow refugees who could prove their family relationship to bring their wives and children, and those who could not prove their relationship could not be brought in.

After that day, Fang Yuan made another policy: allow the refugees who entered the city to leave the city once a day, to report safety to their relatives and friends outside.

I saw with my own eyes that 200 people entered the city every day, and their companions came out. More refugees here were comforted, and the order became more and more stable.

The number of refugees finally stopped increasing and stayed in the early [-]s.

About 15 refugees were affected this time, but not all refugees came here.

Many people received the news that Du He and others were walking in advance, and they took refuge in relatives, or they did not come in the direction of Liaozhou.

Governor's House.

Fang Yuan received the documents from the imperial court.

There are three main things on the document: the food is being transported; Fang Yuan has done a good job and has been credited; Zhao Yingcai has been released without charge.

Du Miaoyan also received the news, went to the governor's mansion with Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo to find Fang Yuan.

"Miaoyan, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, you came just in time."

"Let Du He and the others escort the food back."

Fang Yuan waved the document and said with a smile.

The Wanmin blood book is really powerful.

Zhao Yingcai was released without charge.

The imperial court did not investigate his unclean affairs directly.

In addition, Cui Zhentang, the servant of the household department, and Cui Yuanting, the governor of Bingzhou, were suspended for investigation.

"I have sent someone to do this."

"My father gave me a secret letter and asked me to pass it on to you."

Du Miaoyan nodded.

Then he approached Fang Yuan and said softly.

Chang Sun Chong and Cheng Chumo also approached and looked at Fang Yuan.

"You said."

Fang Yuan immediately straightened his face, and said in a deep voice.

"My father said, if all the refugees are taken in, will there be enough for [-] households in Liaozhou?"

"If it is enough, or if there are only one or two thousand households short, you can try to apply to become an intermediate state, and he will help!"

Du Miao said seriously.

Liaozhou is a lower-level state, Fang Yuan is only a fifth-rank official.

But if the number of households in Liaozhou reaches the standard, Fang Yuan can be promoted to a fifth-rank official.

"I thought about it!"

"But feasibility is more difficult!"

Fang Yuan looked at Du Miaoyan in shock.

I didn't expect Du Ruhui to think so deeply for himself.

However, he has also considered this issue, but it is more difficult to act.

First of all, we must consider whether the food in Liaozhou is enough to support all of them.

Then we have to consider how many of them are willing to stay in Liaozhou after the flood.

Whether it is the first question or the second question, it is more difficult for Liaozhou.

"Have you really thought about this?"

"Fang Yuan, you are more powerful than I imagined!"

Chang Sun Chong looked at Fang Yuan with admiration, and looked up and down.

"Ok?"

Fang Yuan was puzzled.

Look at Chang Sun Chong and then at Du Miaoyan.

"The two of them also know my father's secret letter."

"They said you definitely didn't think of that, and I said you should, but they didn't believe it."

Du Miaoyan explained with a little pride.

They were in the Royal Firm just now, and each received a letter from their elders.

They exchanged looks with each other, and Chang Sun Chong guessed that Fang Yuan didn't think of what Du Ruhui mentioned.

But Du Miaoyan said that Fang Yuan should have thought of it, so the two sides made a bet, they came to find Fang Yuan together, told Fang Yuan and see if Fang Yuan thought of this.

"So it is."

"Thank you dad for me, just say I will try my best."

Fang Yuan suddenly realized, and immediately said seriously.

He also wants to promote Liaozhou to an intermediate state.
