I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Even after Zhang Nuo refused, he was still a little bit unhappy, thinking that Zhang Nuo had made a big deal out of a molehill.

But judging from the current situation, this is a slap in the face!

Don't look at Li Shimin who usually fights and laughs in front of Zhang Nuo. He seems to be able to make any jokes. face!

His pride is hidden in his own proud place!

And Datang is what he is most proud of as the Emperor of Datang!

But now, it happens that he is the most proud of governing the world, which makes him feel ashamed.

If this happened to only a few county or state capitals, he wouldn't be so emotional. After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and it is normal for so many states and counties in the world to have a few corrupt officials.

But today's situation is that almost all state capitals have varying degrees of corruption.

Li Shimin was not from a mud-legged background like Zhu Yuanzhang, so he didn't have that kind of natural hostility towards officials and nobles, and he even knew the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

However, in Li Shimin's view, getting money from the victims and exchanging the lives of the victims and common people for money is already something worse than a beast.

But this kind of thing is not done by one or two people, but a large number of people are doing it. This is why Li Shimin didn't take him seriously at all.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin took a deep breath, and after slowly calming down, he looked at the important officials around him and said lightly,

"I have always believed that monarchs and ministers should treat each other with sincerity, but I never thought that my sincerity would result in such a result!"

Those present, even if they were not from the Old Qin Palace, have worked with Li Shimin for a long time. How can they not know that this His Majesty seems to be speaking plainly, but in fact this means that Li Shimin is really angry. I'm going to make a tough move.

At this time, fools will rush to get into trouble, and it is best to stand aside honestly and not cause trouble for the upper body.

Li Shimin didn't need other people to respond. As the emperor, when he decided on something, he just had to announce his decision.

"The incident of greedy ink for disaster relief has been widely involved, deeply influenced, and extremely evil in nature. It is no longer an ordinary mistake or omission that can be dealt with and made up for. Therefore, I decided that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will cooperate with the Ministry of Officials to mobilize elite soldiers and generals. to the place!"

"In this investigation, I only have one statement. No matter who is involved, I will find out clearly. I want those bastards who only care about sucking people's fat to know what it means that the French Open is not leaky!"

When it came to the end, Li Shimin almost gritted his teeth and spoke every word!

He is really angry, now Datang is thriving everywhere, and the situation is very good, as long as the local officials work a little harder, they can know how Chang'an is developing from various information.

So, don't say anything else, just follow the gourd and paint the scoop, right?

This is putting the answer in front of you for you to copy, don't you know it?

Even if you can't build a workshop like Chang'an, at least you can learn about mining, farming, commerce and other aspects, right?

But these idiots don't have the slightest thought for the development of the local area, but they know how to make money!

If such a person is not killed, it will not be enough to anger the common people, and if not killed, it will not be enough to warn the world!

Moreover, Li Shimin vaguely felt that there seemed to be other problems.

To put it bluntly, it is a bit difficult for the imperial court to mobilize officials from so many places to do the same thing. Why did everyone work so hard on the matter of embezzling ink for disaster relief?

This is no longer just a question of ability or the courage to be greedy for ink. It involves a series of issues such as grain procurement, transportation, and sales.

Although Li Shimin has no evidence, nor has Baiqisi reported the relevant information, but with his intuition formed after years of fighting and fighting, he can almost tell himself that there is definitely a huge monster hidden under the water. Quietly instigated all this.

He really wanted to know who had such courage!

Chapter 638 Datang's Execution Ability

Although Li Shimin's thorough investigation order was only issued verbally just now, the people present were either the big bosses of the three provinces or the heads of the six departments. Naturally, they knew that there would be a formal imperial decree handed down directly later.

Therefore, they directly started to discuss in a low voice here, how to arrange the manpower, and who will lead the manpower assigned to each place, these are all things that need to be discussed in advance by these bigwigs.

But their hearts were trembling at this moment. Your Majesty is really serious. It seems that he is cleaning up the place, but in fact he is trying to use this excuse to do something. Everyone hasn't figured it out yet.

After all, when His Majesty was the King of Qin, ordinary people could not guess his true thoughts. Now that he has ascended the throne, his thoughts are even more uncertain.

His Majesty would be angry at the large-scale corruption of ink in the disaster area. Everyone had guessed this, but no one expected that His Majesty would take such a heavy hand.

This is not a joke, the three divisions will interrogate, what is usually dealt with at this level, it is either the death penalty or a major case.

But now they want to use this level to investigate directly from the county government, and they also say that they will thoroughly investigate all the way to the end. Is this the rhythm of piercing the sky?

You have to know a lot of things, but you really can't help but check it!

You know, this time when going to investigate the case, not only the people from these three divisions are there, but also a Baiqi Division who makes people confused but turns pale after hearing the news.

Don't even think about it at that time, everything must be under the supervision of Baiqisi, then all the interrogation records and even the performance of each official after they go down will be directly recorded in the record.

Moreover, these people know that if they think about it, their words and deeds may be seen by others.

Therefore, if you want to keep yourself, the only way is to kill those corrupt officials.

After all, dead friends don't die poor daoists. Anyone who is in the officialdom knows this truth.

But there is still a big problem here, which is the problem that these people are most worried about at present, that is, they are deeply afraid that this investigation will bring out carrots and mud.

This is not random speculation, and it is even likely to become a very common phenomenon.

After all, this time, Baiqisi cooperated with the three divisions to conduct a joint trial. With Baiqisi, if someone in the middle puts something else out, it is tantamount to finding a thread.

As long as you follow this thread and pull it casually, well, a large number of people have been involved in this muddled mess.

It's even hard to say which day, some of you present here will be involved in an inexplicable case.

This is not because these people are worrying blindly, but in the current Tang Dynasty, it is a custom to give gifts to bosses or teachers.

Especially the Jiupin Zhongzheng system that is still in use, which has requirements for various relationships. If you don't maintain it well on weekdays, what will happen when your family's children want to become officials in the future, and no one will help.

But this gift needs money, everyone is a county magistrate, and the salary is about the same, if you can't afford it, don't you have to figure out a way yourself?

But isn’t there a saying in later generations that most of the ways to get money quickly, easily and more are written in the criminal law, and it’s actually the same these days.

It is precisely because everyone came here like this, some money has become an unspoken rule, that is, it is reserved for the local county magistrate to spend, and it is just a subsidy formed by an unwritten rule.

But the reason why unspoken rules are unspoken rules is because these things cannot be said on the table!

This is the so-called extenuating circumstances but the law does not tolerate it. Everyone is the beneficiary on weekdays, so it will be over with one eye closed, but it will be different when Li Shimin gets serious.

Because in Li Shimin's eyes, the world belongs to him, and if you get money from various corners and put it in your pocket, it is tantamount to stealing Li Shimin's money.

I don't know on weekdays, or when the matter is not on the table, everything is easy to say, but if it is really interrogated by the Baiqisi gang and the third division, and when the evidence is convincing, everyone will I don't know how Li Shimin will deal with it.

But what can they say now?

They can indeed say hello to the subordinates who will be dispatched in advance, and when the time comes for interrogation, don't ask about some sensitive points, and just focus on this ink corruption case.

But the point is, this time there are not only people from Sansi, who can say hello to Baiqisi.

Thinking of this, all the courtiers present, including Changsun Wuji, who had already reached the peak, felt a little nervous, always worried that one day they would be dragged directly to the yamen for interrogation if they were still sleeping at home one day.

Li Shimin doesn't care what these people think at the moment, he is getting angry right now, and all he can think about is how to vent his anger. He definitely slapped him in the face.

It's really because the disturbance was so ruthless this time, so ruthless that Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, that's why he took such a heavy hand.

Could it be that Li Shimin really doesn't know the virtues of the officials below?

If it is really necessary to deal with a large number of officials, the most difficult thing is his old Li, well, he still has to figure out how to allocate manpower to fill the upcoming vacancies.

Moreover, there is still a big problem in front of us, which is to redeploy resources and manpower in response to the current disaster situation. This is a big project.

For a whole day and night, Li Shimin dragged his group of courtiers to stay in the meeting room next to the telegraph room and never came out.

The latest telegrams are constantly being sent to the conference room, and the numbers on the opposite wall are constantly being updated, increasing and decreasing. At the same time, Li Shimin and his courtiers are also constantly discussing how to deploy is the most reasonable and labor-saving .

However, after all, there are still some courtiers with excellent abilities. After fighting for a day and a night, they really came up with a rectification opinion and a solution for the current situation.

Li Shimin discussed with everyone for a long time. After seeing this plan, he couldn't help sighing. After all, he is my minister, and he is really awesome. He insisted on making this thing, so the rest is execution. up.

There are two main sources of this grain allocation. Needless to say, one is the granary in Chang'an, and the other is the eastern capital Luoyang.

We must know that Luoyang is not only the eastern capital, but also an important grain base in the entire north. There are even more granaries built there than in Chang'an.

Li Shimin was also unambiguous, and directly mobilized [-] soldiers to escort food to the disaster area, and must start a new round of disaster relief in the shortest possible time.

Chapter 639 The Pyongyang Special Offer Arrives

Regarding the investigation of this incident, it cannot be completed in a day or two. Even if Li Shimin wished to go there with a knife and chop the person directly, he would have to wait for the results to come out.

After all, this is not the plot in a storybook novel. The protagonist knows who the big boss is in a daze and inexplicably, and then continues to kill the big boss in a daze.

At least for now, Li Shimin just has a feeling that there should be forces behind such a large-scale corruption of ink, otherwise there would not be such a large-scale food flow.

But who was responsible, how the food was taken away from the disaster area, and where it went, all these questions would not be known until Baiqisi went to the local area for interrogation.

After all, anyone who is not a fool knows that when doing bad things, don’t yell about your name and identity and background everywhere. The kind of people who make troubles while yelling who they are in the streets, either do not do big things, or they have brains. question.

Therefore, when will we finally know the news behind the scenes from those corrupt officials, and how long will it take to find out those things? After a word or two, I can silently wait for the result.

Due to the local disaster situation has reached the point of no delay.Therefore, food from Chang'an and Luoyang began to be transported to the disaster area.

At the same time, in order to stabilize prices, Chang'an has also begun to release food slowly, and every household can buy it, but not only must register household registration, but also have to limit it.

These things are old routines that the court is familiar with. After all, every time there is a natural disaster, the price of grain in the market will always fluctuate. If the government does not arrange a large amount of grain to enter the market, those unscrupulous grain merchants will definitely do everything possible. Koukousoso sells out little by little.

After all, as long as you are in business, who doesn't want to earn more money, especially for grain merchants, this kind of natural disaster is simply a chance to make a fortune from God. Although this sounds a little heartless, it is actually so ah.

However, the government is not vegetarian, are you a little more expensive than usual?

That's fine, no problem, after all, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and most people would not do such a thing!

But if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rich overnight, hehe, the VIP suite in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is waiting for you, maybe the whole family will have to be imprisoned in it.

And just when many grain merchants were happily making money in this golden opportunity to make money that had finally arrived, a store that was not particularly eye-catching in the East Market and the West Market opened their doors.

Different from other shops, they are all surnames such as Li Ji Buzhuang, Wang's Medicine Shop, Liu's Grain Store and the old names of the business categories. These two shops only hang a small banner at the door with a big word written on it. The word "食" in the past will disappear after that.

There are no signboards that the store should have. You can only see it when you enter the door. There is a picture hanging on the wall in the middle of the lobby. To be precise, it is one word - Zhang!

Because it is a newly opened shop, some idlers who are full and have nothing to do will come in to take a look when they pass by, and some are from prominent families. When they entered the door, they wanted to shout proudly as the shopkeeper, but when they saw the middle of the lobby The word Zhang immediately bent over and shrunk his neck like a conditioned reflex.

It's so familiar, this pen and this figure are the most standard Qin Wang style!

After Zhang Nuo was granted the title of King of Qin, the fonts created by Zhang Nuo were collectively called Qin Wangti.

Moreover, since the books in Zhang Nuo's own bookstore use Zhang Nuo's templates, except for some particularly classic copybooks or books with special requirements that use another font.

This led to a result, as long as anyone who can read and write, there is no one who does not know Zhang Nuo's handwriting, and even the whole world does not know how many people are imitating Zhang Nuo's handwriting.

As for the honorable children in Chang'an City, let alone those noble children, if you can't even recognize the handwriting of His Highness King Qin, you are so embarrassed to say that you have read books!

Therefore, no matter which honorable family he belonged to, when he walked into the lobby and saw the letter hanging on the wall, he immediately became scared, let alone making trouble, and dared not speak loudly.

There is no way, at this point, all fools know that this is the property of His Royal Highness King Qin, so maybe there are members of His Majesty or the Queen or other high-ranking officials and noble families behind it.

If you make trouble here, you will offend the top gangsters in the entire Tang Dynasty. The name of His Royal Highness King Qin alone is already scary enough, plus other things, hehe, don’t talk about making trouble. , They dare not even speak loudly.

As the most well-informed noble family, they know a lot of gossip that the outside world doesn't know. For example, His Majesty and His Highness the King of Qin like to sit in casual clothes behind a certain shop of their own to drink tea and chat.

To put it bluntly, whenever they talk loudly or make noises here, it is not unusual for a prince or emperor to come out from behind.

This is not a joke, it's a real person who has done such a thing, and did something messy, that is, after drinking some wine, he bought books in Zhang's Bookstore while talking loudly about how awesome his father is, It's just how much the outsiders give face.

Then, I couldn't die, it happened that Li Shimin was in a bad mood that day, and he was drinking tea in the small room behind the bookstore.

Not until the next day did his father, who was about to be transferred to the Ministry of Education, receive an extremely stern imperial edict, which scolded him like a grandson throughout the text, and the core was just one sentence, The family style is not strict, and the conduct is not upright!

Well, Datang's first cheater was officially released, and he cheated his father once and for all. If his father's reputation was not good, he probably would have been kicked instead of being scolded.

The final result was also very simple, his father directly broke his legs and sent him back to his hometown, and asked him not to return to Chang'an for three years!

From then on, everyone knows, don't make a fuss in His Highness King Qin's shop, because you will never guess that some boss is sitting in the back room or in a corner without paying attention, and then If you are not careful, you will offend people to death.

So, in this way, we can understand why the honorable disciples who just walked in fell down immediately after recognizing Zhang Nuo's handwriting.

Chapter 640 Zhang Nuo's Food Industry

Zhang Nuo has a lot of shops, and it’s not like other families who are secretive. They put on names like distant relatives or stewards, and even the name of the shop is obscured. Only people who have reached a certain level know this shop. Who is behind it.

But Zhang Nuo was different. He never felt that there was any shame in relying on his own ability to earn money, so he used the name of "Zhang's" very bluntly from the very beginning.

Even though he became famous after being named the king of Qin, he didn't feel that he should change his signboard or something. Instead, he almost told everyone that it was the shop of Zhang Nuo, the king of Qin, what's the matter?

But different from other shops, the two sets of shops opened in East and West Market today are a bit confusing.

First of all, because there is no plaque, ordinary people cannot know what is sold inside the door, which invisibly dispels the enthusiasm of some people.

If you look at the food banner hanging on the door, it should be a place that sells food, but when you walk in, you will find that this is not a restaurant or a food business. Instead, there is a shop against the wall. Rows of shelves.

The shelves are not randomly placed, all the goods are placed in the dustpan, and the dustpans are neatly placed on the shelves, and the goods in the dustpan, to be honest, even if it is unintentional, it is a bit interesting. don't know.
