When Zhao Junchen looked through these books, after just a few glances, he was completely sure that all the account books given to him by Peng Ji were fake accounts, and most of the contents in the accounts were also forged!
Zhao Junchen himself is the ancestor of false accounts, and he naturally knows these false accounts at a glance.
What's more, the flaws in these false accounts are too obvious.
As we all know, there are three main sources of income for Liaodong Town. The first is the Liao salary allocated by the imperial court, the second is the taxes levied on the people in Liaodong, and the third is the smuggling trade in Liaoyang City.
As for the accounts provided by Peng Ji, although they clearly record the income and expenditure of Liao's salary allocated by the imperial court over the years, they clearly avoid the important and trivial with regard to the assessment and increase of taxes in Liaodong. The figures recorded in the accounts are far lower than the actual figures. , due to the smuggling trade in Liaoyang City, Liaodong Town has always said to the outside world that it "cannot exist", and it is even less likely to be recorded in the account books)
But Zhao Junchen still studied these false accounts carefully.
As the ancestor of false accounts, Junchen can also dig out a lot of things through these false accounts.
At the same time, even among these fake accounts, there are still some statistics that are slightly reliable, such as material reserves, money and food balances, expenditure items, etc. The relevant information can easily be verified to be true or false.
After Zhao Junchen was busy for a whole day and carefully read and analyzed these fakes, Zhao Junchen finally came to the first conclusion.
After coming to this conclusion, even though Zhao Junchen had already seen the dirty things in this world and was mentally prepared for it, he still couldn't help being shocked.
After the shock, an unprecedented anger spread in my heart!
"Take all the baht and use it like sand! He Yu should deserve it! Peng Ji should deserve it! All the high-ranking military attaches in Liaodong Town should deserve it! Regarding He Yu's unexpected death, I was originally a little annoyed and regretful, but now... I Ge Neng said it was not a pity for him to die!
There are also those high-level officials in Liao Town who are colluding with others and colluding with others. None of them are good people! The entire Liaodong Town is just a cesspool! Only maggots will grow in the manure tank, and the maggots will only turn into flies, and they will never turn into anything else!
Even Ximen Sheng is no exception! Also like maggots and flies! I still had illusions about him, thinking that he at least understood the overall situation and had the ability to defeat the Jurchens in Jianzhou, so I always wanted to push him to the top. But now, looking at it, it is just a dwarf to choose a general. Just a fool. You shouldn't count on it at all! "
After seeing Zhao Junchen so angry, everyone in the room was frightened.
But they were not frightened by Zhao Junchen's shock, but they were worried that if Zhao Junchen's words spread, it would lead to uncontrollable consequences.
Niu Fude quickly opened the door and stretched his head to look outside. After discovering that people near the room were listening, Linghu Guang was the only one standing outside. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Li Chuanwen, Wang Shizhen, and others all ran to Zhao Junchen and tried to persuade him.
"Zhao Gechen, calm down! Zhao Gechen, calm down!"
"I hope Zhao Gechen can calm down. We are currently in the Jinzhou camp, and some remarks must not be spread out!"...

"Zhao Gechen, please speak softly! Be gentle!"
Despite the urgent remonstrances of several people, Zhao Junchen was still furious and gritted his teeth and said: "How much effort has this pavilion expended in order to alleviate the worries about the food shortage in our court? Every time when we allocate salaries, in order to collect money The amount of food and how much energy was spent?
If Liaodong Town can use the money and food properly, I will not complain. After all, it is a major matter of border defense. How does Liaodong Town use Liao's money? They are all used to bribe military attachés and support private soldiers! The cost of supporting a mid-level military attache is enough to support thirty soldiers like Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and the cost of supporting one Liaodong Iron Cavalry is enough to support thirty ordinary border troops... to the high-level military attache in Liaodong Town, then Not to mention! This is the situation after the false accounts were whitewashed. The actual situation must be even more shocking, just the tip of the iceberg!
Hey! Before Ge left the capital, he finally managed to increase the amount of grain in the national treasury by 800,000 shi! Eight hundred thousand stones (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 1318. Paying gold for food.

Food is just a small amount of money, but it still gives me some comfort, but what about Dongzhen? Just each unknown food consumption is as high as 280,000 dan! Not to mention the huge amount smuggled by our enemies! Ben's painstaking efforts are not enough to make up for this hole. Thinking of this situation, how can you not hate him! "
After speaking, Zhao Junchen grabbed a few account books at hand and threw them to the ground.
Wang Shizhen spoke out again to persuade: "I also understand Zhao Gechen's anger, but please calm down a little. As the saying goes, the dragon suppresses the local snake, we can't break up with Dongzhen yet."
Zhao Junchen took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a long time in silence. When he opened his eyes again, he finally calmed down a little and said coldly: "Call Jinzhou Guard Peng Ji, I have something to ask him... you guys Don’t worry, I’ve calmed down and won’t force him to turn over the table.”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, several people in the room were still hesitant, but Linghu Guang outside the room was already obeying the order.
Peng Ji seemed to have been prepared for it, and he quickly rushed to Zhao Junchen. After bowing respectfully, he lowered his hands and waited for Zhao Junchen's instructions.
Zhao Junchen had also regained his composure at this time. After quietly sizing up Peng Ji for a moment, he said slowly: "I have gone through the accounts of Jinzhou Camp and found many strange things. I hope Peng Shoubei can explain it to me. .”
Peng Ji's attitude was still that of humility and sincerity, and he immediately replied: "Please ask Zhao Gechen."
Under the nervous attention of Wang Shizhen, Li Chuanwen and others, Zhao Junchen flipped through the account books and asked softly: "According to the statistics of this pavilion, the total amount of grain, grass and all kinds of grain in Jinzhou Daying is only one hundred Five hundred thousand dan! It can only support the entire army for high-intensity combat for a month at most, is that so?
Peng Ji nodded and said: "That's right!"
Junchen asked again: "But as far as I know, in the past year, the central government has allocated an extremely large amount of military rations to Liaodong Town. The amount of corn alone is as high as three million dan! If it is only the end of spring, why only Is there just this one left?”
Peng Ji also looked confused, shook his head and said: "Although I am in charge of the military depot, I only follow orders. But where the food stored in the military depot has gone, I am afraid that only General He knows the specific situation. It's a pity... "….

Halfway through his words, Peng Ji remained silent, but his intention was also obvious - He Yu was dead, so there was no evidence of his death.
Peng Ji also knew that Zhao Junchen would not be satisfied with this answer, and added: "However, I believe that this situation is excusable. All the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong frontier army totaled more than 100,000 horses, and they were eaten by horses." Naturally, the consumption is huge, and General He also sent part of the food and grass to the military depots in various defense areas during his lifetime, so the remaining food and grass of the Jinzhou Battalion is not much...
It is a pity that the current war situation is urgent and there is no time to transport grain and grass from the military depots in various defense areas. We can only transport logistics from Jinzhou Camp. Therefore, once the military stockpiles of Jinzhou Camp are gradually exhausted, the frontline war will not end. If so, we can only count on the imperial center to provide support. "
Obviously, Peng Ji also wanted to take advantage of this war to get another amount of food and grass from the treasury)
This approach is also the practice in Liaodong Town. Once a war breaks out, the imperial court center will be forced to allocate more food and salary again.
Zhao Junchen couldn't help but a trace of anger flashed across his expression, but he still forcibly endured it and said again: "We will talk about these things in the future. I have also discovered another strange thing... The army of Jinzhou Camp In the warehouse, the quantities of grain, grass, armor, ordnance and other important materials for the war are far less than expected, but there are also several other materials in stock that far exceed imagination, such as ginseng, mink skin, deer antlers, etc. Another example is...gold! The gold inventory in Zhou Daying is as high as 87,000 taels! And it's all red! But I don't know where Liaodong Town collected so much gold?"
These more than 87,000 taels of gold are just the numbers recorded on the fake accounts. They will definitely not be the entire savings of Liaodong Town, but they are astonishing enough.
As for where the gold came from, it is not difficult to guess. It must have come from Jianzhou Zhen!
In later generations, the five most densely populated gold producing areas in China, such as (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 1318. Paying gold for food.
Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content acquisition and text disorder, please do not use the browser (App) reading mode.
Today there are three places, namely Jilin, Chi, and Chaoyang, all located within the Jurchen's sphere of influence in Jianzhou.
In this era, the most suitable place for gold mining was Heilongjiang, which was also within the Jurchen's sphere of influence in Jianzhou. The gold mines there were not only shallow, but also easy to refine.
Therefore, only Jianzhou is truly capable of providing such an amount of gold to Liaodong Town!
At the same time, ginseng, mink skin, deer antlers and other products are also abundant in Jianzhou Jurchen.
Zhao Junchen suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, and his intention was very obvious. He suspected that Liaodong Town had secretly sold a large amount of grain and grass to Jianzhou Jurchen, so the state camp's military warehouse had such a large amount of gold and Jianzhou Jurchen. State specialty!
At the same time, as Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Peng Ji's eyes flashed.
Peng Ji had known for a long time that when Zhao Junchen looked through these fake accounts, he would definitely raise questions when he saw such an amazing amount of gold, but he had no choice. In order to make the revenue and expenditure figures of the military treasury equal, he had to release part of the gold. In the eyes, otherwise it would be impossible to explain clearly how much arsenal expenditure there is.
But Peng Ji had his reasons in advance and said with a grimace: "Oh! I have known it for a long time. With Zhao Gechen's sharp eyes, many things must not be hidden. Since you, Zhao Ge, have noticed something fishy, then I will tell you." Tell the truth!….

In fact, the reason why Jinzhou University's military inventory suffered huge losses and had such a large amount of money was all because General He had misjudged the situation..."
Hearing this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He only felt that He Yu still made a "huge contribution" to Liaodong Town after his death. Many things could be blamed on He Yu, a dead man.
Peng Ji continued: "Since the Jianzhou Jurchens paid tribute to His Majesty, Mr. He made a judgment that the Liaodong border will be peaceful in the past two years, but the Jianzhou Jurchens are ultimately ambitious. After a year or two of patience, you will be able to stop raising troops to invade. In this case, Liaodong Town does not need to hoard too much military rations. Instead, it needs to seize the time to increase its military strength as soon as possible!
Therefore, Mr. He sold part of the military rations to Shanhaiguan without authorization, and then exchanged all the silver from selling the grain for gold, and prepared to send someone to take the gold to Mongolia to buy horses... Zhao Chen, you also know that Mr. Silver It is constantly depreciating, but gold has been a hard currency throughout the ages, and it is more easily accepted by those ancient tribes.
Unexpectedly, Mr. He made a mistake in his judgment. The Jianzhou Jurchens had no patience to wait for a year or two, and they turned against each other so quickly and attacked again. However, as a result, the army's food supply was also in short supply. ! "
At this explanation, Zhao Junchen sneered again in his heart)
If Liaodong Town transports a large amount of grain to Shanhaiguan for sale, grain prices will inevitably fluctuate. How could Zhao Junchen not know the news? It was obviously sold to Jianzhou Jurchen!
However, Zhao Jun did not expose Peng Ji directly, but asked coldly: "Since Liaodong Town has exchanged a large amount of grain allocated by the court for gold, I am not willing to investigate whether this matter is in compliance with the rules at this time. But now that Liaodong Town has lost money due to this incident, and wants to ask the Central Government to allocate grain and grass again to provide support, then it is not too much for me to return this gold to the treasury, right?"
Hearing Jun's statement, Peng Ji's expression immediately changed. He didn't expect that Zhao Jun was shameless!
