Chapter 1115: The Eve of the Crisis
"Minister Chang'an Mansion Yin Changxuansu see Your Majesty." In the face of His Majesty's Tianwei, Zhang Xuansu was still calm, breathing evenly, and saluting slowly, which was enough to see that this person was steady.
"Xuan Su is here, you don't have to be formal, I see that you are here for the murder of the grain merchant, what are you going to do here in Chang'an Mansion, tell me." Qin Huaidao has a good impression of the Chang'an Mansion Yin who he personally appointed, in fact, Zhang Xuansu did not disappoint him, and the entire Chang'an Mansion under his rule, except for the occurrence of a major grain merchant case, is basically relatively peaceful.
Zhang Xuansu said: "At present, Chang'an Mansion has sent soldiers to guard the city to strictly investigate suspicious people entering and leaving the city, and sent people to follow Jiang Shengwei, the child of the Jiang family. ”
"Jiang Sheng is this kid, the Jiang family is rebelling, he can't participate because he is far away in Chang'an, so I let him go, I didn't expect him to dare to stir up trouble in Chang'an, Zhang Xuansu, you keep an eye on me, once you find that this person has something out of line, arrest him immediately."
"No."
"As for the murderer of the grain merchant......"
Qin Huaidao also has a headache about this matter, unlike post-modern industrial civilization, there are cameras everywhere, and it is actually difficult to solve some hidden cases if you rely purely on manpower.
Especially headless cases like grain merchants with no clues.
He sighed: "In this way, after you return home, quickly check the household registration, and those who live in Chang'an do not need to check, but those who arrive in Chang'an within half a year." ”
Zhang Xuansu was stunned on the spot, and subconsciously thought of something: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”
Qin Huaidao nodded and said: "That's right, at the moment of the Yellow River flood, I bought grain for disaster prevention, and some unstable people in the Han Dynasty are probably ready to move, if the Yellow River bursts and the displaced people are everywhere, these people will also take this opportunity to gather the people's hearts and take the opportunity to start an incident, these grain merchants are just appetizers in his chess game." ”
"Disrupting the situation of grain merchants, when there is an incident, they can have better control over the grain."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xuansu was particularly shocked.
Qin Huaidao sighed: "I didn't think there would be such a thing, but since the Jiangnan trip, I found that Li Tai has been in charge of the court for many years, and many hidden dangers have been buried, and these hidden dangers have become my hidden dangers with my entry into Chang'an. ”
"They themselves know that if they don't do it, they won't have a chance again."
Zhang Xuansu bowed to Qin Huai again and said, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and admired." ”
"Just do as I say."
"No."
After Zhang Xuansu retreated, Qin Huaidao gradually looked into the distance.
It's good that the Yellow River is defended, but if the Yellow River can't be held, the Han Dynasty is about to usher in the first problem after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
He has to deal with the disasters and displaced people caused by the floods, but also have to deal with these scheming civil strife, if he deals with the past, these unstable factors will be swept away at one time, and from then on, the military and government will be clear, and the Han will also usher in a grand event.
If you don't deal with the past, it will inevitably be similar to the situation after the Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty.
It is the people who suffer.
But since the trip to Jiangnan, these people have hidden deeper, and it is not easy to find out.
As for the flooding of the Yellow River, affected by the grain merchant's case, it has become a boulder weighing on his heart.
If these unstable factors make up their minds to take action, since they can pry the will of the grain merchants, they will definitely be able to find a way to make the Yellow River embankment burst, thousands of miles along the Yellow River, it is impossible for him to send heavy troops to guard every section, if the other party takes the opportunity to blend in with the river workers and do something on the embankment, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Man-made disasters are dead, and it seems that there is no way to avoid them.
Just as he was thinking, Duan Lun of the Ministry of Industry handed over the fold again, saying that the production of sacks was in full swing, but the raw materials for making sacks were not enough, but the specific reason was that someone found that the imperial court was buying coarse hemp on a large scale, so they frantically purchased and hoarded it in farther areas in advance, and planned to sell it to the imperial court at a higher price, and did not want silver certificates, as long as cash.
It's another tricky thing.
According to Qin Huaidao's iron-blooded methods, these profiteers should be caught and beaten without the slightest scruples, but now that the grain merchant case has occurred, the court has too late to prove itself, where do they dare to make another move?
The more critical the moment, the people's will cannot be lost.
He immediately issued an order to let Wang Xuance mobilize some of the silver, in short, the coarse hemp was collected first, otherwise once the Yellow River flood occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for those who hoard goods, it is okay to wait until the autumn to settle accounts.
On the other side, Zhang Daozi has already made up his mind, the idea, contact the grain merchants everywhere, the matter is urgent but not serious, since the grain merchant's extermination case happened last night, he must handle the matter today, otherwise what if another grain merchant is wiped out tonight?
As the first grain merchant in Chang'an, his appeal is enough to affect most of the grain merchants in Chang'an, and there is a danger of extinction, so when he proposed to redress his grievances in front of the palace, many grain merchants responded and took their families to the palace.
As for Jiang Shengwei's 10,000 newspapers, because he did not master the printing technique, he needed a large number of people to copy them by hand, so he threw a lot of silver money and finally prepared this newspaper.
Later, he spent some money and hired many children to follow the example of the Chang'an Daily, which was distributed free of charge throughout Chang'an.
In Chang'an City, East City.
"The latest news in Chang'an, the case of the killing of the grain merchant is suspected to be the hand of Dali Temple, and the court wants to grab grain from the grain merchant, and the inside story is in the newspaper, all the gentlemen look at it!"
"Who would have thought that the murder of the grain merchant would have a lot of bizarre inside information, everyone come and see!"
Many children flocked to the east and west markets at the same time, and the streets and alleys spread a large number of deeds about the grain merchant case in Chang'an, which made the entire Chang'an fall into an atmosphere of discussing the grain merchant case for a while.
"Could it really be the hand of the imperial court, it's unlikely, Your Majesty Shengming, not only abolished the three-year tax and servitude, but also exempted the kneeling salute, intending to establish the Han Dynasty as a country where everyone is equal, how can you do such a thing?" Some people were suspicious.
Another citizen immediately retorted: "Not necessarily, I heard that there are indeed officials from Dali Temple who have been to the grain merchants who were killed, if they hadn't killed them, who else would it be?" ”
"Don't dare to say nonsense, Dali Temple is working every day, and has not taken a step towards Dali Temple at all, and all the officials of Dali Temple can testify to it."
"Officials protect each other, is their testimony credible?"
For a while, rumors were spreading, and there were all kinds of things.
Coupled with the hazy news given by Jiang Sheng for those newspapers, the situation was pushed to a climax.
