emperor? !
Yang Kan, Bo Guan and other officials stared wide-eyed with despair. They fell to the ground one by one, their bodies shaking like a swinging sieve.
Sun Rui, the deputy lifter, also knelt on the ground, horrified. No wonder this man had extraordinary conversation and majesty. He was originally Emperor Jianwen. Well, anyway, the problem of Qingjiang Shipyard is not for the Security Bureau. It would be best for the Emperor to deal with it directly, which will be beneficial to the shipyard.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. These officials are just trying to make a fortune, forgetting their responsibilities and the majesty of the law. They all want to dance on the high-voltage line. Okay, then I'll let you do it!
"Tiji Si Yangkan and Du Shui Si Bo Guan, you two are the principals of the Qingjiang Shipyard. You openly accepted bribes, colluded with local officials and gentry, and traded and sold ships wantonly. The personal and material evidence is conclusive, but there is more to say. ?”
Zhu Yunwen threw out a stack of papers, and the two people who complained the most were the two.
When Yang Kan and Bo Guan saw this, they couldn't say anything nutritious, so they had to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Ru Yu: "How should I deal with it according to law?"
Ru Yu's face hardened, and she could only say: "He has committed many crimes, and he should be punished for multiple crimes. He deserves to die."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Kan and Bo Guan and said sternly: "You have no way to survive. Whether you want to leave a way for your family to survive or not depends on your performance. How many guards there are and how many officials have infiltrated the Qingjiang Shipyard. , make it clear, I will settle down your family well, if you don’t make it clear, I will let them go mining in Cochin!"
Yang Kan and Bo Guan looked sad. The matter had come to this, and they could only explain it clearly to their families.
Bo Guan sobbed and exposed it first: "Your Majesty, please tell me. The Remaining Department of Zhongdu once sent 10,000 taels of silver, hoping that Qingjiang Shipyard could provide it with forty large river ships. The Water Department of Dudu accepted it and lent it to them. , sent one after another..."
"Zhongdu Remaining Secretary, is this Li Fangying?"
Zhu Yunwen asked with cold eyes.
Bo Guan shook his head and said: "No, it's the history of the command of the Changhuai Guard, the history of the command of the Huaiyuan Guard, the history of the command of the Huangling Guard, the history of the thousands of households in Hongtang..."
Zhu Yunwen narrowed his eyes. Changhuai Guards, Huaiyuan Guards, and Hongtang Qianhu just extended their hands. Huangling Guards also extended their hands to show Zhu Wusi's grave? Of the eight guards in Zhongdu, just what Bo Guan said only accounted for three of them!
"Has Li Fangying ever asked for a boat?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Bo Guan was a little surprised. Zhu Yunwen probably cared too much about Li Fangying, but thinking about it, behind him was Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, who deserved the emperor's attention. But Boguan did not receive any news from Li Fangying.
After hearing Bo Guan's answer, Zhu Yunwen's face looked better. Li Fangying was now a face of Cao Guogong's Mansion. If he couldn't be saved, Cao Guogong's Mansion would have no choice but to close its doors and live like a pig.
"Someone is looking for you from the Dushui Division, and I'm afraid there are also many people from the Tiju Division, right?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Kan.
Yang Kan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "In addition to Dahewei, there are also many magistrates in Lianghuai and Huaihe, including some officials in Shandong, and businessmen..."
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath: "How much did it cost them, and how many ships did you give them?"
Yang Kan put his head on the ground and whispered: "Dahewei sent two thousand taels of silver. Some magistrates and businessmen gave away houses, expensive tea, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques. It was roughly more than 8,000 taels." I asked for one hundred and forty large yellow boats, but I have already given eighty-six..."
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and asked, "How many ships are there in Qingjiang Shipyard right now?"
Bo Guan whispered: "Thirty-two large canal boats, one hundred and thirty-two large yellow boats, and one hundred and seventy-two small yellow boats."
Zhu Yunwen was completely angry. He originally thought that the shipyard had no sense of propriety, that is, it would carve up 30% of the ship. Now it is better, not to mention 30%, now it has exceeded 50%!
More than half of the ships have not been recharged into the national treasury, but have already flowed into the market?
Even if the imperial court's assets were lost, they would still be missing. But if there was no such thing, it would be less than half?
"How much does it cost to build a large tanker? How much does it cost to build a big yellow boat?"
Rujun asked.
Bo Guan and Yang Kan were even more trembling and did not dare to reply.
Seeing this, Sun Rui raised his head slightly, attracting Ru Rui's attention, and called his name. Sun Rui did not hesitate and said: "The large canal ship costs five hundred taels, and the big yellow ship costs one hundred and twenty taels."
In total, Zhu Yunwen and Bo Guan accepted 10,000 taels and "sold" forty large-scale canal ships, and the construction cost of these ships alone reached as much as 20,000 taels! Yang Kan also received 10,000 taels and "sold" the big yellow boat for 140 taels, with a cost of 16,800 taels!
"Spend my money and sell my boat to make you more courageous?"
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and tried his best to make money. He made a lot in a year, but there were not many people who invested in various industries, the Second Artillery Bureau, social studies, and the Imperial College. For the Qingjiang Shipyard, he invested a lot Two hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels from the Joint Household Department, and one hundred thousand taels from the Ministry of Works were just obtained. Isn't it good for them to enrich their own pockets?
"Drag it down!"
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was on the verge of going berserk, Ru Yun couldn't help but chop off their heads. In order to ensure a complete confession, she couldn't die so quickly.
Tang Buping looked at Liu Changge, who ignored Ru Ru. As a cabinet minister, he was not qualified to order the Security Bureau.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, and then Liu Changge ordered people to take the two of them away.
Xia Yuanji saw that Zhu Yunwen was angry and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Qingjiang Shipyard is involved in a lot of things. It will take a lot of time to fully investigate."
Zhu Yunwen also knew this truth. After all, some characters were hundreds of miles away and could not travel back and forth in a day or two. Moreover, the Wei Institute was involved, so full evidence was needed to convince the public. The most important thing at the moment was not How to deal with these officials, but how to rectify the Qingjiang Shipyard.
A bird without a head cannot fly. Now that the two principals of Qingjiang Shipyard have been taken away, someone needs to be in charge.
Zhu Yunwen chose Sun Rui as his prime minister. Ru Jin, Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi also believed that this person was worthy of a big job, so they issued an order: "Promote Sun Rui to the position of commander-in-chief, Qian Zhen to deputy commander-in-chief, and promote the president-general to the promotion department, In the Du Shui Division, Ding Tan is promoted by the promotion department, and Huang Xian is the doctor of the Du Shui Division. Officials involved in corruption are removed from their posts, and they are selected from reserve officials or craftsmen as deputy promotion officials, etc. "
After determining the strategy of overall management and control of Qingjiang Shipyard, Zhu Yunwen summoned the main officials and a group of craftsmen, and one hundred craftsmen recommended one person to participate in the discussion. Nearly a hundred people gathered in a room.
Zhu Yunwen's majestic gaze swept over the crowd and said solemnly: "Qingjiang Shipyard is related to water transportation and national destiny. It is controlled by the imperial court. The ships are owned by the imperial court, but the local guards, officials, gentry, and businessmen want to use them for private use. How can we tolerate this? I have made a rule today that all ships in the shipyard will be registered and approved before leaving the shipyard. If there are more ships delivered privately in exchange for personal money, it is best to settle the funeral arrangements first."
Sun Rui, Qian Zhen and others all promised that such a thing would never happen again. Everyone knows that if someone makes a mistake again, they may really lose their head.
It's not appropriate to lose your life just for some money.
Zhu Yunwen asked: "Can anyone give me an estimate of how many ships Qingjiang Shipyard can build next year?"
Huang Xian thought for a while and then walked out and said: "Back to the emperor, next year we can build 80 to 100 large yellow ships, 280 to 300 large yellow ships, and 200 to 300 small yellow ships. "
Zhu Yunwen thought about it and said to the craftsman teacher and the craftsman representative: "Do you think this amount can be completed?"
The teacher and the craftsman discussed it and both said it was okay.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, then stood up and said: "In that case, next year we will set the number of large ships at 90, 300 large yellow ships, and 200 small yellow ships. Allocate these numbers to the corresponding shipyards, and wait for them to complete the prescribed tasks. After the ships are built, I allow you to build more ships, and the extra ship parts will be purchased by the court at market prices, and the money will be distributed to the instructors and craftsmen of the shipyard."
"Is this serious, Your Majesty?"
Make people happy.
Ru Yun and Xia Yuanji smiled helplessly. The emperor planned to maximize his performance. This was basically the same idea as those of Dingxi Salt Fields who had enough salt fields. The rest was basically the same as his own.
Zhu Yunwen said solemnly: "You are not joking, but I need to warn the Tiju Division and the Dushui Division that the Security Bureau will secretly participate in the purchase of ships every year. If someone forces the craftsmen to work day and night, forces them to work day and night, and insults and beats the craftsmen, The security bureau can also arrest people.”
Sun Rui and others broke out in a cold sweat. This was equivalent to giving the initiative to the craftsmen. After they finished the work of the court, they could do it if they wanted to, or stop if they didn't. If they were forced, they would probably be pulled away by the security bureau.
"Shift craftsmen are a big problem. After discussing with Ru Ge, Xia Shangshu, and Yang Jijiu, I believe that Qingjiang Shipyard is based on the long-term and it is not appropriate to change craftsmen frequently. If you go and make statistics, all shift craftsmen are willing to stay in Qingjiang Shipyard to continue working. , the shipyard will fund the construction of houses, purchase land, provide subsidies, and relocate their families to the shipyard and its surroundings. If they want to leave, they are not forced to do so."
Zhu Yunwen needed a stable team of shipwrights. They were always going back and forth, so changing them was not an option. Besides, it’s a bit unethical to work one shift every two years and not see your family for two years. Just take the family over and treat them as another type of immigrants. Huai’an is about to become prosperous, and there is always a need to gather a group of people. .
After the craftsmen heard this, some couldn't help but express surprise. If the imperial court was really willing to spend money to decorate houses, allocate land, and give certain subsidies, then moving here would not be impossible. Some people are hesitant. After all, moving requires leaving their homeland, which is hard to leave.
Zhu Yunwen did not insist on it. After discussing the policy with Xia Yuanji, he finalized it and posted it. The treatment was no worse than that of immigrants from Shanxi. Especially under Yang Shiqi's suggestion, Qingjiang Shipyard should establish a social school within the Qingjiang Shipyard to provide reading and literacy for the children of craftsmen. Base.
The problems at Qingjiang Shipyard have been almost solved, but the investigation is far from over. Groups of people from the Security Bureau are rushing everywhere...
