Chapter 435: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
"Someone! Whoever has received the money, he shall take it out and beat each of them with twenty sticks." It's in the middle of the city! Liu Hong gradually scolded angrily, and Chen Ping, the prisoner in the army, immediately came with soldiers from outside the yamen.
The punishment is not heavy, after all, they are all brothers who have shed blood for the Ming Dynasty, but in the center of the city, in front of the public, it is a different punishment.
The army must not tolerate corruption, nor can it tolerate bribery, Liu Hongjian can not guarantee that the courtiers are not greedy, and cannot guarantee that the profiteers will not accept bribes, but at least the army must be clean.
Think about it, how can an army supplied by an emperor tighten his belt and be embarrassed to take this silver and stuff it into his pocket?
The emperor himself eats dried turnips and pickles, and he provides you with the money he saves, and what a shameless person must have done such a thing.
Leave it at once and not now!
There is zero tolerance for those who are late, underpaid, or not paid military salaries, corrupt, and bribe-giving!
This time the net is open, and it is the last time, Liu Hong gradually said secretly in his heart.
"You remember, this is the first time, if you don't take it as an example, the law will not be merciful, no wonder the official didn't remind you." Liu Hong gradually got up and wanted to leave.
"Lord Xie forgives, if you commit another offense, you are willing to die!" Wu Binghao couldn't raise his head when he was scolded by Liu Hongjian in a few words.
These generals are basically Liu Hong's hands-on, and they are recreated, to be honest, with the current monthly salary given by the imperial court to the border army and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, it is enough to live a similar life in the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the soldiers were originally in charge of food and housing in the barracks, and since the Governor took power, not to mention the increase in salary, Shangguan has never deducted military salaries again, and the soldiers' salaries are enough to feed their families.
But what about them? It's really a long face for the Inspector.
Several generals followed Wu Binghao with their foreheads touching the ground, and their heads were raised without face.
"Your Majesty's condition...... What's going on? Huang Degong followed, walked behind Liu Hongjian and asked in a low voice.
Except for a few guards on the edge of Chongzhen's dormitory, as well as Wu and Lu, the true situation of Chongzhen was not announced that day, so that even Huang Degong was kept in the dark.
Huang Degong is also a veteran of the Ming Dynasty, as the governor naturally shoulders a great responsibility, and the life and death of the emperor is too important to him and to the Ming Dynasty.
God knows if the Son of Heaven is changed, whether the three-hundred-year-old broken ship of Daming will be able to work.
"Your Majesty is fine, you can just treat Your Majesty as if you are seriously ill, this is a secret, don't spread it." Huang Degong must be on the same front as Chongzhen and him, everyone is in their fifties, there is no need to hide it from an old man.
Huang Degong understood His Majesty's thoughts after a little thought, and he learned that the inside situation was no longer worried, and the third batch of arms supplies had arrived in Shenyang City, Huang Degong bowed and retreated.
In the evening, Liu Hongjian was about to visit Chongzhen, and Liang Kewang, the official of the Jinyi Guard, came to the door.
"My lord, Cao Sanxi's humble position has been ascertained." Liang Kewang saluted and took out a scroll from his waist.
The speed at which Jin Yiwei collected information was really not covered, and it only took half a day to figure out the details of Cao Sanxi.
Liu Hong gradually opened the scroll and looked at it, his eyes almost popped out.
If this Cao Sanxi is placed in the next generation, it will definitely be a legend.
He was originally a farmer, but because he was dissatisfied with the status quo, he went to Liaodong alone, first making a living by growing vegetables, grinding tofu, and raising pigs, and after a little savings, he began to use the local red sorghum to make wine.
Brewing earned Lao Cao the first pot of gold, but Lao Cao did not use the money to live a luxurious life, but invested in vigorous reproduction.
Through bribery, bribery, and war profits, in more than 20 years, his business has gradually developed into groceries, pawns, grain trading, leather goods and ginseng.
And its business scope is centered on Liaodong, radiating around, whether it is the dynasty Xian, the Wa country are open branches, and even have business dealings with the Dutch.
The base camp of the Cao family is in Sanzao Ta Village, which was changed to Caojiadian ten years ago, and now it has become Chaoyang County, and there is a saying in the local area, first there is Caojiadian, and then there is Chaoyang County, and the commercial scale of the Cao family can be seen.
Nima, this is a big tiger!
Liu Hong gradually woke up, no wonder Jiannu has not collapsed until now, and if there is no help from the surname Cao, he would not believe it if he killed Liu Hongji.
Wait, Liu Hong gradually continued to scroll down, and even found the deal between Cao Sanxi and Phi Island Mao Wenlong.
At that time, Jiannu seemed to be at war with Daming, grandma's, this guy is upside down on both sides, playing a good hand!
Liu Hong suddenly remembered the M country in later generations, isn't the history of people's fortune made a fortune from wars on both sides?
This old Cao is really a talent!
Merely...... You just met your own official, can you make war money as a profiteer?
Don't say anything else, you can raid his home on just one charge of the enemy.
It's been a long time since I've searched my home, and Liu Hong gradually felt the need to warm up.
"My lord, what you just looked at was the old sect from a year ago, and he sent a lot of people to inquire about the Cao family's shop and other businesses in the surrounding area.
Knowing that the Cao family had transferred their family assets to the Wa Kingdom and North Korea a few months ago, Cao Sanxi had two sons, the eldest was called Cao Songyuan, who was in charge of Chaoxian's business, and the second was called Cao Songshan, who was in charge of the business of the Wa Kingdom, and Cao Sanxi himself lived in Chaoyang County. ”
Liang Kewang's untimely narration almost made Liu Hong, who was already eager to try and ready to take someone to raid his house, gradually choked to death.
My day, so ruthless?
I think this old guy had already thought of a way out before he met him, first put money on his line, if he succeeded, of course, everything would be fine, and he could continue to expand his business in Daming.
If it fails, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to close the shop in Liaodong and flee to a foreign country with his family, the coastline of Daming is so long, and the profits of the smuggling business are not ordinarily high.
Three holes of cunning rabbits! Liu Hong's eyes flickered.
It's not easy to start, even if you catch this old guy, what's the use of not being able to get the money?
In this Northern Expedition, including the Allied Army, the Border Army, the Beijing Army, and the Minfu, a total of almost 150,000 people were mobilized.
Last night, he and Huang Degong roughly co-ordinated, and the reward and pension that the imperial court needs to issue will reach at least 20 million taels.
In other words, after this Northern Expedition, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is going to run rats again.
Not only do you have to run mice, but you probably owe a lot.
Fortunately, Jiannu was finally destroyed, and the reward and pension policy he set up last year to destroy Jiannu finally came to an end.
I really can't afford to consume it, Liu Hong gradually bared his teeth and said secretly.
Cao Sanxi, the big tiger, must be dealt with, even if he can't pinch out the urine, he must squeeze out the oil and water!
After making up his mind, Liu Hong gradually waved his hand to signal Liang Kewang to retreat, and he walked towards Chongzhen's dormitory with a heavy heart.
