Although it is a cold winter, the craftsmen and civilians on the construction site are doing their work in an orderly manner.
Zhu Youxiao did not collect corvees, but asked the government to pay for the recruitment.
Moreover, all their food is guaranteed by the government. They have two meals a day, one thin and one dry.
Such conditions and treatment were unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, these recruited civilian craftsmen worked extremely hard, and almost no one was lazy.
After Zhu Youxiao arrived at the construction site, he went directly to the warehouse.
Cutting corners and cutting corners is something that happens all the time.
Zhu Youxiao naturally needs to focus on it.
The warehouse manager looked at a group of big men walking towards them. He didn't care about the hot and warm stove and went straight to greet them.
But before the chief clerk could ask any questions, Ma Xianglin took out a pair of cards from his chest and threw them away.
When the chief bookkeeper Dingqing saw it, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Before he could react, Zhu Youxiao had already led people straight in.
This warehouse may not be big, but it is just a temporary building used to store some more expensive and moisture-resistant materials.
Zhu Youxiao didn't come here to see this. He walked directly to a desk.
After glancing at the account books and documents above, he winked directly at Yang Huan.
When he left the palace this time, Zhu Youxiao only led the royal guards and imperial guards.
Although they are all his personal guards, their cultural level is really worrying, so they can only let Yang Huanlai temporarily act as a civil servant.
Although he is also a military officer, his ancestors have inherited the royal robes and guard hundreds of households. No matter how wealthy he is, he still has no problem with literacy and basic arithmetic.
Seeing the emperor sitting down, Yang Huan was very sensible and started checking directly.
The rest of the people were also scattered and patrolling various corners.
The chief clerk walked in with trembling legs and trembling legs. He saw these people he couldn't afford to offend checking, and he felt that it was hotter than the dog days of summer, and he almost broke out in a sweat.
He is responsible for managing all purchasing expenses, and he is naturally the one who knows best whether there is anything fishy or not.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao finally noticed this small and powerful person.
Seeing his highly nervous expression, Zhu Youxiao had already begun to become suspicious, although Yang Huan hadn't discovered anything yet.
"You have always been in charge of these accounts?"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked a question, but the chief clerk, who was not thinking about it, didn't hear it at all.
It was only after a guard behind him kicked him that he realized what he was doing. He looked up and saw the young man sitting in front of him staring at him.
He was so frightened that he quickly replied:
"Yes Yes."
Zhu Youxiao had already concluded in his heart that the master's book was dirty, so he stopped testing and said directly:
"Why are you so nervous? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"
And just with this question, the chief clerk finally couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed.
"Excuse me, I was forced to do this too. The gentlemen from the Ministry of Industry asked me to do this."
It wasn't that the chief clerk recognized Zhu Youxiao, but that he was really afraid of Jin Yiwei's name.
Although he got into this position through connections, he was not a fool. He knew very well why he was able to sit in this position.
But it's just because I have no background and power, and I'm relatively close to the officials, so I can easily control them.
If something goes wrong, they can always push themselves out as the scapegoat and they can sit back and relax.
Even if nothing happens, they are the ones who get most of the benefits. If they can pick up some leftovers to eat, they will be very happy.
Although I don’t know why these Jin Yiwei suddenly arrived.
But he knew very well what he had done, and he couldn't withstand the investigation.
Anyway, I am just an insignificant person, so why bother to go to the Jinyiwei Prison, which is more terrifying than hell?
Zhu Youxiao himself was a little speechless when he saw that the chief clerk was not asking for help. For a moment, he couldn't figure out why.
Is this psychological quality too bad?
He just asked a few questions casually, but he was afraid of being like this. Is there really such a tyrannical spirit in this world?
But this is good, it saves a lot of time.
The warehouse also instantly turned into an interrogation room.
Just listen to what the chief clerk said:
"The villain's position as chief register was arranged by Mr. He Tong, the head of the Ministry of Industry's Camp, Maintenance and Cleaning Department. The villain's uncle is his housekeeper."
"The reason why he arranged for the villain to come here is for personal gain."
"He asked the villain to purchase materials from merchants who were friendly to him or were involved with him at a price that was 20% higher than the original price."
"After the goods are shipped back, we can secretly sell some at a low price to earn the price difference."
According to what the master said, they didn't go too far.
In fact, this is also because Zhu Youxiao has tightened his grip.
The police department is responsible for the wages of the craftsmen and civilians, as well as their meals. Not to mention his small warehouse manager, even the minister of the Ministry of Industry can't get involved.
What they can operate is procurement and warehouse management.
But even so, Zhu Youxiao still couldn't tolerate it. These people really wanted money rather than life, and they were so pervasive.
As long as there is a loophole that can lead to corruption, they will try their best to get into it.
However, the chief clerk was also smart. He directly blamed all the crimes on those officials, pretending to be an innocent person who was forced to do nothing.
But because of his voluntary confession, Zhu Youxiao didn't do anything to him. He was just relieved of his duties and ransacked his house.
Moreover, it was impossible for Zhu Youxiao to believe his words.
Yang Huan is still conducting a tripartite comparison based on the materials reported by the Ministry of Industry, the account books, and the materials stored in the warehouse.
I'm afraid the results won't come out within two or three hours.
Zhu Youxiao came to the construction site and inspected it personally.
The sudden appearance of such a young nobleman on the construction site also made the craftsmen and civilians present very confused.
The police officer on duty at the side also noticed their group.
"Stop, who are you?"
In the past, this police officer would never have dared to step forward to stop him. At most, he would have asked carefully.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Youxiao is not a simple person.
Because even if it is ordinary clothes, what Zhu Youxiao wears is very rare even in this capital.
Besides, there are dozens of guards behind him, this is not as simple as being rich.
But it's different now. The person in charge of their police department is Wu Dinghou.
After the emperor killed a large number of distinguished officials, everyone in the capital knew about it.
But Wu Dinghou was able to do nothing and was entrusted with important tasks. Isn't this equivalent to announcing to the world that Wu Dinghou is now Tianqi's favorite.
Moreover, the Marquis had repeatedly told them that everything must be done according to the rules and laws, no matter who they were.
