Chapter 746 Collusion between officials and businessmen

"Look, there are sails on that car. Why are the sails on this car used to carry? "

"In winter, the wind is strong on the plains, and hang a white sail on the car, so it will be quick and labor-saving to push the car..."

"Ah, what are they doing?"

...

Perhaps because Sinara has been in the deep palace for a long time, or because India is too primitive and backward, when he walked along the official road near the construction site, he exclaimed from time to time like a child who had never seen the world. Zhu Guoqiang explained patiently.

For example, transport tracks, gravel sailing cars, and ordinary unicycles can be seen everywhere on various roads leading to the construction site. This kind of dry land boating scene was still a bit too surprising for her.

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang was very curious earlier, but now he has long been used to it.

When we arrived at the construction site, it was lunchtime. You could see teams of people queuing out food from the big pot to fill their stomachs everywhere near the straw mattress shed. Zhu Guoqiang stood aside and smiled and watched the scene. The people were also easily satisfied. In ancient times, they did not dare to build large-scale water conservancy projects because they were afraid that the gathering of people would cause unrest. But if the government provided food, would there be chaos?

"Brother Xu, these hard days are finally over!"

"No, we will be back tomorrow!"

"That's right, that's right, he won't have to eat moldy sorghum rice..."

"He is so conscience that the dog has eaten, and this thing is just for feeding pigs..."

...

The words from the side made Zhu Guoqiang's face suddenly look ugly.

Moldy!

How is that possible?

With his brows frowned, Zhu Guoqiang ordered.

"Go and change a bowl of rice to come and have a look."

The rice is sorghum rice, but you can see at a glance that this is sorghum rice from the past year.

Black, gray...

This thing is just used to feed pigs!

But the problem is... the grain sent by the imperial court is not right, it should be brown rice. The reason for this is not to save money. It is because brown rice has high vitamin content, and the army can eat it to reduce the occurrence of beriberi. Although the taste is average, it is better than the sorghum rice this time!

In a fit of anger, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"Go, Chacha, what's going on?"

Looking at the emperor's changing face, Sinara knew that someone must be in trouble this time!

...

"Although the railway was built by the Railway Department, in actual construction, due to various reasons, the Railway Department is responsible for technical guidance, and the local government provides labor service according to the allocation of Dingli quota, and then allocated it to each section. The problem occurs on these sections. These sections are actually bid by merchants. They contract construction and earn the difference. The labor service provided by the government in winter has accelerated the speed of railway construction, and also gave them room to gain profits. Although the corresponding labor cost is deducted, the food standard set by the Railway Department for each Dingli is 1.5 kilograms of brown rice and 15 cents of rapeseed subsidy per day. Packers often exchange brown rice for cheaper sorghum rice, corn and other grains, and deduct rapeseed..."

However, it took only two days for Wang Yulin to investigate the matter clearly, and he didn't even need to use the local Tiqi. Some things were well-known "secrets".

"Brave businessman!"

Zhu Guoqiang interrupted Wang Yulin's report and snorted coldly.

"What do local officials do for food withholding these unscrupulous merchants? What do the supervisors of the railway department do for food? Are they blind all of them?"

"Blind? Of course, it's not blind. There are at least a few thousand or tens of thousands of Ding Li on a construction site. One Ding Li deducts more than tens of cents, and the other winter leisure is thousands or even thousands of taels of silver. They seal a few red envelopes and pretend they can't see it. As long as Ding Li on the construction site is not hungry, there will be no trouble. There will be no trouble. Of course, it's you and I, everyone!"

In fact, there are more than these tricks. The supervisor and the contractor colluded with each other for hundreds of years, which would be a headache. If it were other people, as long as the project quality did not affect it, it might be fine, but Zhu Guoqiang's eyes cold and he sneered.

"There are always some people who are determined to make money."

With a cold face, Zhu Guoqiang gritted his teeth.

From the day he ascended the throne, although there were many rules and regulations to restrict the officials of the Ming Dynasty, on the other hand, they were also improving their treatment. The "redeemable by ticket" treasure banknotes and silver dollars issued by banks have strong credit and increased their income several times. In addition, local officials will also issue performance rewards up to six months according to the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel. In short, Qian Sheng Dynasty never treated officials unfairly.

But what about them?

"I haven't killed anyone in the past few years, and they all have no memory! The thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole! It seems that I can't do if I don't kill anyone this time! Let's go to Yingzhou Prefecture!"

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be the responsibility of the Censorate according to the law!"

Although he was a former military officer, Wang Yulin continued to whisper to persuade him.

"The court has the laws of the court, and the Censorate is responsible for supervising all officials, so naturally the Censorate should be responsible. At the beginning, Your Majesty abolished the power of censors to impeach, but he left the Censorate in charge of supervisory duties, supervising all officials, and responsible for anti-corruption investigations! If Your Majesty special orders to punish, where will the Censorate be placed?"

"you……"

Looking at Wang Yulin, although it was uncomfortable for his dissuasion, Zhu Guoqiang smiled and said.

"It's me who is obsessed with me. I will write a letter to Zhang Kuang and let him start investigating."

As the founder of this empire, Zhu Guoqiang could not watch the Ming Empire he created was bitten by worms and then quickly became destructive like the Chongzhen court or the courts of all dynasties. Even if he killed a few more people, it would not matter.

But law is law, and some rules, even emperors cannot take the lead in violating them. In fact, there are many times when people are determined to do good things and even dare not violate the rules. In the end, everyone will regard the rules as nothing.

Zhang Kuang is the envoy of the Ducai, and the Censorate is the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Ming Dynasty, and is a specialized anti-corruption agency. If he asked him to do this, he would definitely give himself an explanation.

Zhang Kuang was a loyal minister and a tragic minister. In the first year of Yongli in history, He Tengjiao traveled to the whole province, and Zhang Kuang led more than a thousand personal troops to station in Baiya City, and restrained the enemy's troops from the south. At that time, Emperor Yongli was in Wugang, and Liu Chengyin could not send reinforcements to support him.

He was so sad and angry that he could only go on a hunger strike to show his ambition. At the end of his life, he summoned his disciples and generals, and drank them out of wine to drink and part with him. He ordered Xiao Xu to make a slap in his arms and sang tragically from the pillow, and made the guests sit in harmony with him, and the voice became more and more sorrowful. Banque, the people who were in harmony stopped and looked at Zhang Kuang in shock, and he had already passed away...

But now, he is the left censor of the Censorate of the Holy Dynasty.

When he received the souvenir from His Majesty, Zhang Kuang didn't say anything for a long time. As the left censor of the Censorate, he, like his colleagues in the Censorate, always focused his eyes on all the officials and had never cared about minor officials at all. As for the officials on the railway construction site, they were even more sesame officials... they were not within their attention at all!

"Mingzhi, what should I do?"

Looking at Bao Shimei, Zhang Kuang said annoyedly.

"This is a crime of misunderstanding!"

"It's not too late to repair the sheep!"

Bao Shimei gritted her teeth with a cold face.

"It is all my fault with the teacher if you miss the inspection. However, Your Majesty wrote it to the teacher, which shows that the teacher's expectations. Therefore, the teacher just needs to deal with it impartially. No matter who it involves, it must be strictly investigated!"

Bao Shimei understood the meaning of the railway department, which seemed to be just a yamen under the Ministry of Works, but in fact, there were many people in this yamen from Jinan and came from a surviving family school. They were half a royal family. If they were involved...

"Let's see how deep the water is in this matter!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Kuang said again.

"The officials of the Ministry of Works may not be aware of some things. In addition, in the future, we cannot only focus on local officials and senior officials in the court. Ordinary minor officials must also keep a close eye on them. Let's plug the loopholes first, otherwise many things will inevitably be avoided!"

"The teacher is right!"

Bao Shilong agreed with his deepest agreement.

“Doing it now is at least better than doing it in the future!”
