Just now, someone from the Tang Sect came to report that another Tang Sect elder had died.
Yang Qingyuan was also convinced. The Tang Sect was really in bad luck. It had only been a few days! Just three yuanhua died.
Yang Qingyuan originally thought that Ming Yue Xin was responsible, but when Tang Lian died, Ming Yue Xin had already been captured by him. Now when the elder died, Ming Yue Xin had been imprisoned in the six doors, so this matter was not Made by Mingyue Xin.
That’s intriguing!
Could it be that there is still a master of both Qinggong and Mechanisms in the Dongxuan Realm hidden in Yuzhou City at this moment, who can easily sneak into the Tang Sect.
Or, is this really just an internal fight within the Tang Sect.
Li Changyuan led people to the Tang Sect, and Yang Qingyuan began to trace these privately minted copper coins.
In the Yuzhou County Government Office, the old god Yang Qingyuan was sitting on the high hall.
Below are the prefect and tong magistrate of Yuzhou County.
"I wonder when Marquis Yang arrived in Yuzhou!"
Yang Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, but he really didn't think so.
He didn't believe that these two old foxes didn't know that he was in Liumen, Yuzhou.
Although Yang Qingyuan did not deliberately reveal his whereabouts in Yuzhou, he never deliberately concealed it.
If he said that the first and second leaders of the Yuzhou County Government had no idea about Yang Qingyuan's whereabouts, he would not believe it even if he beat Ye Jianhan to death.
Moreover, Tangjiabao has been rooted here for many years. If the local officials cannot have good relations with the Tang clan, it will not be so easy for them to govern.
An inexplicable smile appeared on Yang Qingyuan's face, "What? Prefect Zhang and Chen Tongpan don't welcome me?"
The reason for this welcome is that Yang Qingyuan is now the deposed envoy of Yizhou and the envoy of the capital, and he is here to check the official administration of Yizhou.
If we don't catch a few corrupt officials, we won't be able to achieve results or pay the job!
Moreover, Emperor Linde has been on the throne for three years, and now the overall situation has stabilized and the cabinet has been successfully reorganized.
Qian Muqian, the chief minister of the cabinet, was getting older, and he left government affairs to Wang Hua and others as much as possible, while he himself began to write books and establish his own path.
The most important thing is to establish virtue, then there is meritorious service, and next there is to establish words. Even if it lasts for a long time, this is called immortality.
Establishing virtue means creating laws and giving to people; establishing merit means rescuing people from adversity and relieving difficulties, and making meritorious service to the time; establishing words means getting the key points of what you say and having enough reason to spread it.
To be virtuous is not only to keep oneself upright, but also to lead the trend; to make meritorious deeds goes without saying.
Qian Muqian and Qian Muqian have no chance, so they can only think of ways to do it.
He was originally a world scholar, so writing books and biographies was the right thing to do.
Therefore, the power of the government was transferred to the hands of young people.
Although Wang Hua was not the second assistant in name, he had already entered the Zhongji Hall and gradually took over administrative power from Qian Muqian, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Lord Linde and his ministers are about to implement a new administration, so naturally they will start to promote new people.
But there are only so many seats. If someone wants to go up, there will naturally need to be a seat available.
So the Beijing investigation and the big plan began!
They were originally relegated to the first and third departments of Yong'an, but were recalled and appointed one after another.
Therefore, when Yang Qingyuan came to Yizhou, the officials in Yizhou were panicked, fearing that this man was coming to kill people.
Facts have also proved that this man was indeed ruthless, and almost took over most of the officials in Shudu Mansion.
Now that Yang Qingyuan has arrived at the Yuzhou County Yamen, Prefect Zhang and Chen Tongpan feel deeply uneasy.
"I see you two are a little nervous!"
Prefect Zhang subconsciously said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! We were just caught off guard!"
"Ah?" The expression on Yang Qingyuan's face was a bit strange. What was this word used to prevent?
"No, we are just helpless?!"
"ah?!"
Yang Qingyuan's expression was almost unbearable. Couldn't you be a bought official? What kind of cultural level is this!
"No, I'm just waiting..."
Not to mention Yang Qingyuan, Chen Tongpan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, "Yang Hou, Mrs. Zhang
Shou was already very old, but when he saw Yang Hou coming to Yuzhou on behalf of the emperor, he was excited and could not control himself. "
"Ah! Yes, yes!" Zhang Taishou immediately took advantage of this step and went down. Is he uneducated? He is just a real person. When I took the examination, my cultural level was very average, but my family came from a prominent Yingchuan family, so I reluctantly donated a tribute student and became an official.
"I see, then I misunderstood Governor Zhang. I originally thought that Governor Zhang did not welcome me!"
Zhang Taishou wiped the slight sweat on his forehead and said, "I am an official in Yuzhou, and I am looking forward to the arrival of Marquis Yang! I only hope that Marquis Yang will be here temporarily, please give me some advice and I will wait for you!"
Yang Qingyuan roughly knew that these two people were definitely not clean and that something was wrong, but they hadn't found out yet.
However, he can't investigate in detail now, so he can just leave this matter to Hu Yunji. He will come back to this trip after he has finished investigating the Shu capital.
Young people, just need to work harder!
This Hu Yunji should be less than fifty this year. It is a great time to shoulder important responsibilities and serve the country!
"I'm so ashamed! I didn't come here to see the two adults today, but I alarmed them both. It's my fault!" Yang Qingyuan said he was ashamed, but there was no hint of shame on his face.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
He sat down on the chair tremblingly, only half his buttocks dared to sit, and his back was straighter than he had ever been before.
This scene looks funny, but underneath there is still a natural awe of power.
"There are some privately minted copper coins circulating in the market in Yuzhou. Does Liu Hucao know about it?!"
Yang Qingyuan's question made Liu Wangcheng nervous, "Master Hou, although this privately minted coin is strictly prohibited by the imperial court, its huge profits have led to repeated bans among the people!"
"I know this! Not to mention your Yizhou, even in the capital of God, there are inevitably privately minted copper coins. I'm talking about the large number of privately minted copper coins in Yuzhou County?!"
Liu Wangcheng forced to maintain the expression on his face, "Hou... Hou Ye is joking. Although there are privately minted copper coins in Yuzhou City, there is no such thing as a large number of them! Besides, you also said that these privately minted copper coins are inevitable."
No matter whether this kind of thing exists or not, as long as it is not irrefutable, it cannot be admitted! Liu Wangcheng is not stupid.
More importantly, it is difficult to prove that copper coins were minted privately. Unless the market is really full of privately minted copper coins, and they can be distinguished at a glance, how can it be so easy to prove!
"I sent people to buy things from various shops in Yuzhou City today!"
"..." Liu Wangcheng was suddenly confused. What was Yang Qingyuan trying to explain by suddenly saying this? !
"A large amount of copper coins were recovered from these shops!"
Yang Qingyuan asked people to bring them all silver ingots, specifying that they were looking for copper coins.
"I went to one hundred and forty-three shops and found a large amount of copper coins in each store. Then I sent people to inspect these copper coins and found a large number of privately minted copper coins. On average, every ten copper coins There are three privately minted coins, which is quite a proportion! Liu Hucao!"
Collecting samples and then taking the average is the simplest statistical method. Although it cannot be said to be completely accurate, it also has a very high reference value.
When Liu Wangcheng heard this, a lot of cold sweat broke out from his back.
"Liu Wangcheng, you failed to notice such a large-scale private minting of copper coins and failed to report it in time, causing huge losses to the imperial government's finances. You are derelict in your duties!"
Yang Qingyuan's friendly face just now suddenly turned cold and stern.
Liu Wangcheng's mentality was ordinary, and coupled with the huge status gap between him and Yang Qingyuan, he was immediately frightened by Yang Qingyuan and slumped in his chair.
But even so, he was still hesitant. He was afraid that after he spoke out, some people would not let him go.
Yang Qingyuan was also an expert in this field. Knowing what Liu Wangcheng was hesitating about, he immediately said, "Liu Hucao, I am also proficient in martial arts. After the two adults Zhang and Chen left just now, I used the method of Tiandun sound transmission to general You and I are shielded from each other by two feet."
Liu Hucao looked at Yang Qingyuan with clear ignorance in his eyes. How could he, a civil servant, know anything about Tiandun sound transmission?
Yang Qingyuan had no choice but to explain, "This is a profound martial art in the world. The conversation between the two of us at this moment will not be heard two feet away."
Regarding Yang Qingyuan's words, Liu Hucao was also skeptical, but Yang Qingyuan's reputation was spread all over the world, and Liu Hucao also had several friends in the world, so he finally believed Yang Qingyuan's words.
"Master Yang, you are really not a despicable incompetent derelict in your duties. You have allowed privately minted money to flow freely! The villain has discovered privately minted copper coins two years ago. These privately minted copper coins contain more impurities than the copper coins minted by the imperial court. More brittle and easier to break."
"Since you already noticed something, why didn't you hide it and report it!?"
"I already informed the Governor at that time! But Governor Zhang said...he said..."
"what did he say?"
Liu Hucao was frightened by Yang Qingyuan's words. The person in front of him could decide his life or death with one word. He could even decide the life or death of the prefect and Tongpan with one word.
"He said that one more thing is worse than one less thing. It is complicated to trace privately minted copper coins, and it is difficult to pinpoint their source. If they are reported, it will show that they are incompetent in governing. Since these copper coins have no real impact, then don't report them!"
Yang Qingyuan did not speak, expressing his approval of this statement.
This is not just Yizhou. Officials all over the world have this mentality. When something happens, they cover it up first and don't let the superiors know.
If you can deal with it yourself first, do it yourself first, or don't deal with it at all. As long as nothing happens, just pretend that nothing happened.
"Then do you know who made this copper coin privately?"
"Yang Hou Mingjian! I really don't know what I'm doing. I'm just a household servant with only a few clerks. The prefect doesn't express his position. I don't have anyone to investigate this matter!"
Liu Hucao's words are also a must-have routine in official circles, to shirk the blame.
Blame-shifting is not only done by superiors to subordinates, but subordinates can also shift blame to superiors.
Of course, this is limited to when Shangguan is basically about to fall. If you lead, you must have leadership responsibility.
Although Liu Hucao didn't know what would happen to Prefect Zhang in the end, based on this incident, half of his black hat had been removed, and Yuzhou's officialdom might also be purged.
If that's the case, then hug Yang Qingyuan's thigh tightly and overturn Prefect Zhang to save his own life.
"I will investigate this matter. If it is true as you say, then your guilt can be reduced a bit."
"Thank you, Marquis Yang!"
Liu Hu Cao Gang felt that his body was no longer so weak.
Yang Qingyuan's next sentence made him feel like he was falling into the abyss, "Liu Hucao, how much money does the Tang family have to pay you every year!?"
"This... Yang Hou, please forgive me!"
Just now, Liu Hucao thought he had overcome the difficulty, but was hit with a backhand by Yang Qingyuan. His mentality collapsed and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"Yang Hou, the villain is also confused for a while! Only then did he accept the money from the Tang Sect! Not only the villain, but also all the officials, big and small, in Yuzhou City have taken one!"
"Young man, you can still get double salary!" Yang Qingyuan listened without any disturbance in his heart. This is a normal thing. When he was the young minister of Dali Temple, a large number of businessmen and dignitaries gave him gifts, but he was not short of money. To resist this temptation.
For this matter, the responsibility lies with Emperor Taizu Gao. The salary given by him was really too low!
But it is impossible for a normal official to be able to spend money. You cannot point out that every official in the world is Hai Gangfeng or Yu Yanyi!
The more Yang Qingyuan experiences, the clearer he sees it. Wildfires never burn out, but spring breezes blow them again!
Some things don't happen overnight.
