Never test human nature.
Controlling the grain circulation and scheduling of the entire Yan land is like holding the key to the treasury. Maybe it takes one or two days, and the officials still have some moral bottom line, but what if it takes one or two months? What about one or two years?
Guarding the treasury all day long, you can sneak a handful as soon as you stretch out your hand, and there is a high probability that you will not be discovered.
Faced with this situation, how many people can bear it?
The wartime economic law is an economic policy of great centralization, and centralization will definitely lead to corruption.
Without exception.
If the wartime grain requisitions were reasonably distributed and used for the military supplies of the Ming Dynasty, the farmers and herdsmen in Yandi might be a little dissatisfied, but they would never be forced to rebel. After all, everyone could see where the money was used. clear,
But if the wartime grain collection was corrupted by officials, and the Yan Palace repeatedly banned it and let the people know about it, then this anger would quickly become a prairie fire. As soon as the people of Yan's confidence in the Yan Palace collapsed, it would be Yan's death. When rebellions break out all over the world, this is the biggest crisis.
So Xu Miaoyun had to finish the scene even if she didn't hesitate to blame him.
Killing corrupt officials is for the officials present to see.
The purpose is to show Xu Miaoyun's zero-tolerance attitude towards corruption. Likewise, this scene is for the common people to see.
We need the common people to know that even if food is requisitioned during wartime, the food will definitely be used in appropriate places.
Corruption was the lifeblood of wartime economic policy, and Xu Miaoyun's first hand was to block this lifeline.
Zhu Gaochi looked at his mother with admiration. He looked deeper than Zhu Gaoxu and admired his mother even more.
"I now want you to coordinate the food collection for the people of Yan. You can explain to the people, but don't explain too much.
All subsequent grain requisition arrangements must be announced in Shuntian Mansion, and everyone can see the direction of this batch of grain.
Now, you go do things. "
"Yes! Princess!"
After Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, all the officials stood up quickly to respond, and then stepped back to do their work. The efficiency of their work was jaw-dropping.
In an instant, only Xu Miaoyun, mother and son, were left in the main hall of Prince Yan's Mansion. Xu Miaoyun took a long breath, put on her usual gentle smile, walked up to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, and asked softly,
"Didn't it scare you?"
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said,
"No."
Instead, Zhu Gaojiu hid behind Zhu Gaochi and looked at his mother timidly, as if he was repeatedly confirming whether the person in front of him was his mother.
When Xu Miaoyun saw Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, but this pain was fleeting. Xu Miaoyun quickly adjusted her mentality.
In order to pursue a great cause, we don’t stick to trivial matters.
Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "Mother, the method of announcing the food requisition is really wonderful. My mother can come up with this method. I admire her very much."
Xu Miaoyun smiled and shook her head and said,
"My mother didn't come up with this method. Your Highness taught it to me."
"Is it the royal brother?!"
Zhu Gaochi exclaimed, with even more awe for Zhu Xiongying in his eyes.
The method of public announcement of grain requisition is extremely wonderful. The most wonderful thing is that it can appease the emotions of the people.
Wartime economic policy is a direct connection between the government and the people. The people need to send food to the government unconditionally. Therefore, as long as the people's emotions can be appeased, the wartime economic method can continue to operate.
The grain requisition announcement is just to publish the account names of the government grain requisition for everyone to see, and it has little technical content.
However, the meaning it represents is too great. Even if the people cannot understand it, they will regard this announcement as a reassurance.
"Princess, I've been brought here."
Zhu Gaochi was about to open his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the report outside the palace. Zhu Gaochi looked back and saw dozens of people standing behind the guards in Prince Yan's palace.
Xu Miaoyun finally showed joy on her face and ordered,
"Take the people down and entertain them."
"yes."
After the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion took away these dozens of people, Xu Miaoyun walked to Zhu Gaochi and squatted down, caressed Zhu Gaochi's chubby face with his hands, and said seriously,
"Son, do you want to help mother?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded heavily when he heard this, "Mother, don't worry."
Xu Miaoyun said very quickly,
"These people I just brought here are from the accountant of Changji Store in Yandi branch. My mother was worried about just using officials to calculate the grain collection and operation, so she transferred people from Changfu here.
These people in the Chang Mansion must be led by you to do things, and they must be kept confidential!
After that, I will give you a copy of the grain collection accounts of the various states in Yandi. You have to take these people with you to calculate it again. If there is a slight difference in the numbers, you must tell your mother immediately.
Do you understand? "
Zhu Gaochi realized how heavy this burden was and nodded with serious eyes.
"Mother, the child knows."
"Good boy," Xu Miaoyun was moved when she heard this. She held Zhu Gaochi's head and kissed it.
It can be said,
Xu Miaoyun has the unique delicacy of a woman. She has considered every possibility and figured out countermeasures.
The beheading of people is a big deal, but in actual calculations, it's like walking on thin ice.
I'm afraid even Zhu Di can't do this well in this matter.
It's no wonder that Zhu Xiongying dared to directly hand over the rear area completely to Xu Miaoyun's hands.
...........
Another place: the outpost a hundred miles north of Shuntian Mansion
Zhu Xiongying's soldiers and horses camped here to repair it. The creativity of the third brother Zhu Fan's sentry fort was simply a work of genius.
Not only did it cut off the supply line, but it also allowed the marching troops to rest.
"Damn it! It's freezing to death! It's freezing to death!
Fourth brother, please move over and let me warm up too! "
Zhu Di obediently stepped aside. The second eldest son, Zhu Xi, sat down. His huge figure pushed Zhu Di out of the fire.
If the second child, Zhu Ping, can be frozen like this, it is conceivable that the rest of the people will be in worse condition.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Di and said,
"Fourth uncle, after resting at this outpost, you will divide your troops and head west. Pay attention to safety."
Zhu Di was moved and said,
"I understand, eldest nephew, fourth uncle must be careful."
The third child, Zhu Fan, glanced at Zhu Di and said in a deep voice,
"Fourth brother, please show your talent in recruiting. When you take a detour, don't be in a hurry.
First check to see if we have arrived. When we arrive, we will definitely give you a signal. "
Zhu Di nodded,
"I know, third brother."
"Um."
The third child put his hand in front of the fire and said nothing more. Zhu Fan was relieved that the fourth child was marching and fighting.
All the Zhu family members were warming up quietly by the fire. Gao Ni, who was trapped in the camp, approached with a chill, stood in front of Zhu Xiongying, and said in a deep voice,
"Your Highness, I have something to report at the end."
Zhu Xiongying looked up at Gao Ni,
"explain."
Gao Ni had a complicated look on his face,
He opened his mouth and said,
"Your Highness, I'm afraid all the equipment trapped in the camp will have to be thrown here."
