I am the king of the dead

What is this to do?

Conspiracy?

It's not very similar. I asked him to come, and he came. Aren't you afraid that he would be five hundred swordsmen and axemen, throw the cup as a trumpet, and kill him on the spot?

Shi Heng was immediately unhappy, and said angrily: "You old man, you are so filthy, why is our military department not releasing food? Don't you need food for the war? Immediately, the army and the Japanese army will enter the capital. , the food was taken by you, what do these sergeants eat!"

"You don't even have anything to eat, you expect them to work hard!"

Jin Lian snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction. He said sharply: "Preparing the Japanese army, preparing the army, you have 20, and now the foreign imperial court is in a hurry. Is [-] shi a day enough?"

Zhu Qiyu did a little calculation, 28 a day can supply an army of about [-] for a day.

"Can the account be calculated like this? It's so simple to lead troops to fight, why don't you go to lead troops? Once you get the abacus, you can fight? Who do you think you are!" Shi Heng said immediately with some dissatisfaction.

Jin Lian didn't give Shi Heng a good look at all, and continued: "Bring it with you, whoever is afraid of who! Has anyone never brought soldiers? You are at the Datong garrison, and I am still fighting the rebellion in Fujian!"

Jin Lian is not afraid of this kind of run.

Zhu Qiyu just planned to speak, for example, let the Ministry of War take away the grain used by the sergeants first, and then return the treasuries to the Ministry of Household, but he thought it was wrong.

After that, in the capital city, who has the final say?

"Yu Shangshu?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian, and he was a little puzzled, because Yu Qian asked the sergeant to control the grain depot of the household department.

"Your Majesty, the reason for the price of grain in the capital is not in the granary. It is also helpless for the minister to let the sergeant control the granary. I also ask Your Majesty to investigate." Yu Qian stood up and bowed his head.

"Tell me in detail." Of course Zhu Qiyu didn't believe that Yu Qian planned to rebel.

Yu Qian stood and said aloud: "Jin Shangshu, you also know that the soaring food prices in Beijing are caused by the sergeants' holding positions?"

"Your Majesty, the food route has not been cut off, and the Tonghui River is open. Even if the disaster is imminent, the river is still busy day and night.

"Before the supply was [-]% less, but the price of food rose to the point where [-]% of the people in the capital could not afford it, and it stabilized at [-] stone."

"There is a lot of supply now, but the price of grain in Beijing has not stabilized, but has skyrocketed. It is because some people are hoarding goods."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously, and asked with some doubts: "No, the supply has been reduced by [-]%, and the price of food has risen from five cents to four taels, which is an eightfold increase."

One tael equals ten taels, and five taels to forty taels, how much more than [-]% of the people can't afford it?

Yu Qian snorted coldly and continued: "The supply is [-]% less, and the merchants moved on hearing the wind, at least eating more than [-]% of the food!"

"They put money in their left hand, go out thirteen out of seven, and don't sell their grain in their right hand. People go to their bank to borrow money, and then go to their grain store to buy grain."

"As soon as you turn down your hands, you will earn the people's land and the people's workshops. Isn't it enough? If these people hadn't reached out to the capital's five hundred warehouses, how could someone send troops to the warehouse?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned after listening to Yu Qian's statement. Giving money is actually a loan. Seven out of thirteen returns means borrowing ten taels of silver. The bank only pays seven taels, and finally returns the money to the bank for 13 taels.

The people took the borrowed money to buy the food they hoarded and raised the price, and they also had to bear high interest.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Jin Lian with a bad expression, and asked suspiciously, "Is there such a thing? The granary of the capital is an important place, why would someone put their hands into the capital?"

Isn't this the same as reaching into Zhu Qiyu's crotch and groping?

No food, what a shit fight!

Jin Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling quite helpless, some things could not be called four taels, and even a thousand pounds could not be beaten.

Yu Qian was unforgiving. Seeing that Jin Lian couldn't answer, he continued: "The officials of the Ministry of Household are in charge of the Dongbianmen Neidong Market, Wan Ge went to Beijing, and the grains were gathered in the East Market. Why did they all end up in the hands of several big merchants?"

"Shuntian Prefecture opened the warehouse to put grain, and nearly [-]% of the grain was eaten by someone? Who is the grain in the Shuntian Prefecture treasury now!"

Xing'an said in Zhu Qiyu's ear, "Your Majesty, Yu Shiyue, Minister of Punishment, and Xu Youzhen, the censor, ask to see you."

Tsk tsk, Zhu Qiyu's interest has increased greatly. This is definitely not a coincidence. Under the seemingly calm water, there are already magnificent waves.

"Please!" Zhu Qiyu nodded.

The support of the courtiers does not fall from the sky. If you encounter a difficult matter, if you can't handle it well, you will be disappointed. If you handle it properly, the balance of the courtier's heart will gradually tilt.

Politics is like a debate, you say you are right, I say I am right, but those who have always been right will be supported by the majority.

This should be an exam question for ministers after he ascended the throne.

Chapter 26 Forced me to kill

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is holy." Yu Shiyue and Xu Youzhen bowed their heads and stood up straight.

The current situation is that Shi Heng is playing with his handgun, deliberately hitting it with a loud bang, and it is not too much fun.

Shi Heng was just telling these civil servants that now the guns are in the hands of Laozi's military men, so be careful when you speak, and don't put any shit on them.

Jin Lian and Yu Qian sat on both sides of Zhu Qiyu, while Yu Shiyue and Xu Youzhen stood outside the pavilion.

"Your Majesty, a businessman in Dongshi died this morning." Yu Shiyue first explained his purpose. A murder case occurred on the streets of Dongshi.

"Where's the governor of Shuntian, didn't he go to investigate the case? Why bother Yu Shangshu about this matter and go to Prince Yu's mansion in person?" Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea, put the lid on, and asked calmly.

Seeing that Yu Shiyue couldn't get to the point, Xu Youzhen stood up and bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, this merchant is a famous voluntary merchant in the capital."

"For more than ten years in Beijing, I have been transporting grain and grass from the north to the south, and the people living in the world have a reputation for being virtuous. During the disaster, I opened the warehouse to release the grain, and I received the grain at a fair price in the good season. Just like this, I was beaten to death by the grass people in the street!"

"Shuntian Prefecture did not pay any attention, and allowed the unscrupulous people to commit murder on the street. Afterwards, dozens of unscrupulous people broke into this righteous merchant, robbed the warehouse, and distributed hundreds of thousands of stone grains in the warehouse at will. Drumming for injustice, unexpectedly, the governor of Shuntian ignored it."

"I ask Your Majesty to punish the governor of Shuntian, Zhang Jian, to benefit the people when he is dead, and the corpse to eat a vegetarian meal, as an example, and the wind in the hall is dizzy!"

Xu Youzhen's generous speech made Zhu Qiyu smell familiar. He confessed in Xing'an's ear and asked him to go down to see if what Xu Youzhen said was the truth.

The water here is very deep, but Zhu Qiyu keenly grasped the key words, hundreds of thousands of stone of grain.

It's really a volunteer businessman, the capital is hungry, has he really put food on it?

At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of stone grains in the hands, saying that this person is a yi businessman, if Zhu Qiyu believes it, he will be funny.

"Does Yu Shangshu know about this?" Zhu Qiyu asked Yu Qian if he heard about it.

Yu Qian hesitated for a while and nodded and said, "I heard a little bit, but the minister is not sure at this time, or should I let Jin Shangshu talk about it?"

Before Jin Lian went to Fujian to fight the rebellion, he had always been the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. After turning around, he was transferred to the Ministry of Households. It was only a few days after taking office. In the Ministry of Punishment, Jin Lian was also well-known.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Jin Lian.

"The minister only knows the truth, but I don't know the reason, and the minister can't say anything." Jin Lian said vaguely, not within his scope of authority, he can do something less if he can. He didn't open his mouth to speak.

Not long after, Xing'an trotted to Zhu Qiyu's side and whispered a few times.

Zhang Jian was taken outside the door, waiting to be announced.

"My minister Zhang Jian, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is holy." After Zhang Jian bowed his head, he stood up straight, not angry, he glanced at Xu Youzhen, his eyes were full of ferocity.

Zhang Jian said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Chen Ruoyi, a businessman in the East City, is hoarding a lot of goods. He has hundreds of thousands of stone grains in his home, and he cooperated with several Jia to drive up the price of grain. This morning, Chen Ruoyi's rice grain store opened, and the grain price rose again. The money is four, two or three, and the rest of the merchants follow the news."

"The price of food rises again, and the crowd is excited."

"Chen Ruoyi stood in front of the door shouting, at this price, whether you want to buy it or not! It aroused public outrage, was dragged in the street, and later looted food and was trampled to death. The minister... is incompetent, and I can't find out who trampled Chen Ruoyi to death. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded and motioned Zhang Jian to step aside. He looked at Zhang Jian and looked at Xu Youzhen.

Yu Qian just said why he didn't want to let go of Ku, who held the Ministry of Accounts. Isn't this a ready-made case right away?

Zhu Qiyu thought carefully.

Yu Qian asked in a low voice, "What do you think should be done?"

"This is forcing me to kill." Zhu Qiyu replied speciously.

He said to Lu Zhong, who was standing beside him: "Lu Zhong, you take the Jinyiwei guards to thoroughly investigate the profiteers in Chaoyangmen East City for raising food prices, and then send a few factory guards to go to the West Market of Fuchengmen to see if there are any. People took the opportunity to drive up the price of firewood."

"Don't give them time to react. Be quick. If you catch one, your property will be seized, and the accounts will be sealed! These people will be strictly interrogated and sent to the Beizhen Fusi."

"I want to see, who gave them such courage to act so recklessly!"

"Wives and children, young and old, are temporarily detained in the Jiaofang until the end of the trial, either as an official slave or exiled to Lingnan."

"Zhang Jian, please cooperate with the yamen of Shuntian Prefecture, find some officials who are more clever in accounting, clear the account, and then find me to report back."

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Youzhen and Yu Shiyue.

"The minister leads the decree!" Lu Zhong left the Prince Yu's mansion with a knife, and rode back to the Beizhen Fusi, and immediately ordered the Jinyiwei.

Tiqi quickly headed towards the East and West cities, and Lu Zhong personally led Tiqi to the East City.

The West Market in Fucheng Gate, because recently there was a strong wall and a clear field, and a large amount of wood from outside the city entered Beijing, even if someone wanted to raise it, it would not be able to lift it, but the East Market in Chaoyang Gate was very different.

Lu Zhong pulled out the embroidered spring saber in his hand, and Tiqi moved when he heard the sound, surrounding the entire Dongshi.The light of the knife shone with the afternoon sun, with a cold light, Jin Yiwei rushed into the East Market, and there was a burst of chicken flying and dog jumping.

Zhu Qiyu had actually thought that the capital had 800 million shi of grain in storage, and opening warehouses to release grain would immediately stabilize grain prices, but he soon thought of Yu Qian's good intentions in sending troops to handle Haiyun warehouse, Taicang warehouse and Lumi warehouse.

If it is useful to open a position, can this matter still cause the people to trample the profiteer to death?

He has only one choice, and that is to investigate this matter thoroughly.

As the emperor of the country's spokesperson, if he allows this kind of thing to happen, he is not an emperor.

So only murder, and thorough investigation to the end is.

"The ministers will retire." Yu Shiyue, Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Yu Qian and several important officials bowed their heads and planned to leave.

Zhu Qiyu said, "Yu Shangshu, Shi Zongbing, wait a minute, I still have something to do."

He motioned Shi Heng to sit down and speak, and said quite emotionally: "I have heard that the bandits are like combs, the soldiers are like a grate, and the officials are like a shaved. I don't know about Shi Zongbing. Is this true?"

Shi Heng didn't expect His Majesty to have such a problem at all, he hesitated before saying helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's true."

He didn't dare to deceive the emperor. Although he didn't know how the emperor knew about such a thing, he could only tell the truth.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian, but he knew Yu Qian's killing order, the army should not cut off the five fruits of Tanaka, mulberries, thorns and jujubes, and the army should not disturb the people. This was Yu Qian's death order.

This soldier is like a grate, doesn't it mean that he killed his own people before starting a war?

Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qiyu's expression, smiled with relief and said: "Your Majesty thinks that the word military discipline should be maintained? In fact, it is: do things first."

"If you catch a toad, you have to pee out of it. Naturally, there is no way to talk about military discipline."

It was the first time Zhu Qiyu heard Yu Qian say such slightly vulgar words, and only then did he see Shi Heng blushing.

Feeling Yu Qian's sentence, is it to make fun of Shi Heng?

It seems that the contradiction between the two is really not small.

Chapter 27 Yu Qian's Long-sleeved Dance

Shi Heng's face flushed, he held it back for a long time before he said: "Actually, when Shangshu Yu went to Shanxi as governor, he came to a certain area, and at that time, he took the works he wrote, and he had a bright future. He went on to visit Yu Shangshu. ."

"At that time, a certain asked Yu Shangshu how this military order should be implemented."

"Yu Shangshu looked at my handwriting at the time and said that it was clearly written: catch a toad and urinate. A certain book is not well read, and the handwriting is ugly, and Yu Shangshu embarrassed me in front of so many people. ."

"Later, a certain threatened to kill the old man when he went to Shanxi."

Shi Heng explained how he had a grudge against Yu Qian back then, and Zhu Qiyu only knew that it was such a short time.The future is bright, and the future can be written as catching a toad and urinating?

Shi Heng is also a talent.

He continued: "Actually, after a certain person went back, he has been pondering the eight words of Yu Shangshu, and he thinks it makes sense."

"At that time, a certain army was not strict, and the military discipline was lax, all because of the trouble of catching a toad and urinating."

"It's not that Yu Shangshu didn't recognize what I wrote, but just because the words he wrote were not good-looking, he mocked him for trying his best to search. In fact, there is a follow-up to this matter. Your Majesty is willing to listen, so he will talk about it."

Of course Zhu Qiyu was interested, he leaned over and asked, "Zongbing Shi is willing to speak, and I am naturally willing to listen."

Shi Heng sat up straight and said with emotion: "Actually, at that time, a certain Datong in Kyushu outside the mountain was far inferior to the prestige of Yang Wang in Xuanfu. The sergeant couldn't fight, so he thought about looting money. There are few people, but they are still repeatedly prohibited, so I asked for advice from Shangshu."

"Yu Shangshu mocked a certain person, but Yu Shangshu sent a copy of "Eguo Jintuoji Compilation", and this person knew about Yu Shangshu's good intentions."

"Your Majesty knows the prestige of the Yue family army?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "But the Yue family army who froze to death and did not demolish their houses and starved to death without looting?"

Shi Heng nodded.

"The Yue family army can do it: the soldiers stay overnight, the people open the door and are willing to accept them, but no one dares to enter. The sergeants sleep on the streets at night, and the people open the door to accept them, but the sergeants dare not enter."

"A certain person thought that the reason why the military discipline of the Yue family was so strict was because of Yue Fei and Yue Shaobao: there were soldiers who took a strand of hemp from the people to tie up their cuds, and they would cut them off. to maintain military discipline."

"Later, after reading it, I realized that the reason why the Yue family's army has strict military discipline is all because: the soldiers are sick, and they are used to adjust medicine; when the generals are far away, they send their wives to ask their families to work; the dead cry and raise their orphans. , or marry his daughter with his son. All rewards are given to military officials, and Qiu is unselfish."

"If the sergeants are sick, they will prepare medicines for them personally. If the soldiers are far away, Yue Fei will let his wife Li Wa go to the house to offer condolences. If the sergeants die in battle, the Yue family will raise their orphans. Rewards and rewards are all distributed equally to the soldiers, officers and officers, and do not take a cent or a cent privately.”

"In this way, we can achieve strict military discipline. Since Cao Cao wrote the "Military Order" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, military operations are strictly prohibited to disturb the people, but there are very few that can be done."

Shi Heng said it very seriously. This is the way of governing the army that he learned from Yuqian, and it is very useful. He has made a great name in Kyushu outside the mountain, and he is the second person under King Yang Hong.
