Vol 2 Chapter 1475: Jin Yiwei, old friend!

"Mountain Chang, Jin Wanfu has been taken away by people from Dali Temple. According to investigations, he knew that Zhang Xiongfei borrowed money to hoard food and drive up food prices, but he still chose to lend because he took two beautiful Husbands from Zhang Xiongfei. Ji, the two Orchid have been dismissed, and the six thousand Guans that Jin Wanfu lent to Zhang Xiongfei have also been recovered. I sent a letter back to the headquarters of Yanhuang Bank and transferred a gentleman with both virtue and art to Xinfeng County from there. Serving as the treasurer of the bank~!"
On the ridge outside Liyang County, Li Ke came to Li Zexuan and arched his hands.
They spent the night in Weinan County after exterminating locusts yesterday. They set off at dawn this morning. They are exterminating locusts in Liyang County. On the way, they borrowed more than 20,000 chickens from Xinfeng County. Weinan County has loaned more than 10,000 chickens. The people of Liyang County have spontaneously started sending their own captive chickens to the county office after seeing the "Datang Daily" today. It is expected that Li Zexuan and the others will be able to " Absorb 20,000 chickens!
This is the snowball phenomenon. The Tianji team is like a snowball. The disaster-stricken states and counties in Guanzhong not only wiped out the locusts, but as they continued to absorb the chickens sent by the people along the way, their strength continued to grow!
"The more fertile the soil, the easier it is to breed corruption! The Yanhuang Bank manages countless coins, and the treasurer of the bank is the fat difference in the eyes of countless people. Today we can punish one Jin Wanfu, but there will be hundreds in the future. Jin Wanfu, how will you deal with Xiao Ke?"
Li Zexuan turned around, looked at Li Ke faintly and said.
Li Ke was shocked when he heard this. Obviously he agreed with the first half of what Li Zexuan said, but how to solve this problem, he really didn’t think about it. After a moment of silence, Li Ke handed his hand and said, "Also ask the chieftain to teach me. ~!"
Li Zexuan sighed and said with his hand: "We can't always find a corrupt money bank treasurer and punish one. You and I don't have the time. This is like your Majesty and the court officials, your Majesty manages everything on weekdays. I have time to investigate whether the following civil and military officials are corrupt? But has my Datang corrupted officials because of this?
No! Because the imperial court has a Yushitai, dozens of Yushi meticulously exercise the responsibility of monitoring hundreds of officials! Therefore, the teacher believes that Yanhuang Bank also needs a self-monitoring department to monitor whether there is corruption in various banks! In this way, it is possible to prevent the constant appearance of people like Jin Wanfu! "
In fact, he thought about this issue as early as the establishment of the bank, but at first the scale of the bank was limited to Yunshan, and he did not worry about corruption. Later, the Yanhuang Bank was recognized by Li Er and the court officials, and was attached to the Huhu. After it became a "state-owned" large bank, it embarked on a road of rapid expansion!
Under the rapid expansion of everything, there will be many hidden dangers. The same is true of Yanhuang Bank. Jin Wanfu is only the tip of the iceberg. Li Zexuan believes that there must be many people in Yanhuang Banks in Datang counties who use power for personal gain and corruption like Jin Wanfu. The scum of corruption!
If you catch one, remove one and investigate one. Obviously, this cannot completely solve the problem. Only by improving the existing system and preventing this phenomenon from happening again from the system is the correct solution to the problem!
When Li Ke heard the words, he suddenly realized: "The mountain leader sees it! Then when the locust eradication operation is over, Ke will return to Chang'an to summon staff and set up a supervision department at the Yanhuang Qianqian bank to regularly check the accounts of the county banks, and irregularly. Dispatch supervisory officials to places and conduct unannounced visits to assess whether the treasurer of the local bank has committed illegal activities!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "It's so best! Otherwise, there are more people like Jin Wanfu and others, which will not only cause heavy economic losses to the bank, but also make the bank's reputation among the people drastically worse!"
Speaking of this, Li Zexuan’s face flashed with sullenness, "Huh! Colluding with grain merchants and driving up grain prices. Fortunately, this matter did not make a big deal, but was strangled in the cradle in time. Otherwise, our Yanhuang Banks might be in the private sector. Everyone shouted! Xiao Ke immediately made the example of Jin Wanfu a typical example, and issued an internal official notice at Yanhuang Bank, so that all bank treasurers would take warning, otherwise they would be like Jin Wanfu, not only ruined, but also imprisoned. Disaster!"
The Yanhuang Bank was founded by Li Zexuan. Seeing someone ruining his efforts, of course he was heartbroken and of course angry!
Li Ke said with a solemn expression, and said, "Shanchang can rest assured that the internal official document students have already sent it out yesterday, and the treasurers of each bank should have received it in the past few days~! Besides, what should be the name of the supervision department inside our bank?"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, and said: "The bank involves gold, silver and money, so call them Jinyiwei! Jinyiwei must not only have civilian personnel who are good at investigating and analyzing accounts, but also military personnel who are good at arresting and fighting. It must be both civil and military, both internally and externally, because the Yanhuang Bank will become larger and larger in the future~!"
"This!"
After listening, Li Ke opened his mouth in surprise. Obviously he didn't expect Li Zexuan to play such a big game. "The leader of the mountain, it is involved in military affairs. I am afraid that he will have to get permission from the father to continue to advance!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's natural! Yanhuang Bank is only a financial institution at best. Of course, it does not have the power to establish arms. But it is precisely because the bank is a financial institution that it needs a strong force to ensure its internal and external It's safe, so I leave it to Xiaoke for your instructions! The future Jinyiwei will not only be able to detect the corruption inside the bank, but also protect the bank from being violated by outside criminals!"
He was definitely not trying to make a spoof of the golden clothes guard. The daily cash flow of Yanhuang Bank is very impressive. Money can move people's hearts. Everyone likes money. People inside the bank may think about embezzling money, while the criminals outside the bank think about corruption. You may be thinking about coming to the bank to grab money. If you don't prevent it as soon as possible, something will happen!
For example, modern banks not only supervise and manage banks such as the China Banking Regulatory Commission, financial asset management companies, trust investment companies and other deposit-taking financial institutions, but also bank security to protect the safety of banks! Yanhuang Bank is similar to modern banks, of course, it also needs corresponding supervision and security departments!
Hearing the words, Li Ke pondered for a moment in his heart, and then he said, "The leader of the mountain is right. After we return to Chang'an, Ke will personally report the matter to his father!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Well! The most urgent thing is to eliminate the locusts first! The Tianji brigade is now getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Ke, you have to coordinate and arrange tasks for each team in advance to ensure that we can eliminate the locusts. The speed is getting faster and faster, otherwise the chickens that the people lent us will be lent for nothing?"
For the Tianji brigade, the increase in the number of chickens is not entirely a good thing. The expansion of the scale will increase the requirements for the commander! For example, a team of 5,000 chickens was asked to wipe out the locusts in 1,000 mu of fertile fields in half a day, but now the total number of chickens has increased, and the number of chickens allocated to each team will also increase. Dividing tasks by speed will result in waste of resources, but if too many tasks are divided, it will also affect the overall progress of Tianji Brigade!
The actual commander of Tianji Brigade is actually Li Ke, so Li Zexuan said so.
Li Ke solemnly arched his hands and said: "The leader can rest assured that he will weigh all factors and assign tasks to each team!"
"Well! That's the best! After killing the locusts in a while, let's make preparations and go directly to the next county-Jingyang County. Let the county magistrate of Liyang County send us the chickens lent to us by the people in a while!"
"Yes! The mountain is long!"
On the first day of the "departure" of the Tianji brigade, the locusts in the two counties were wiped out, and the size of the chickens grew to 350,000!
On the second day of the Tianji Brigade’s "departure", the locusts in two and a half counties were wiped out. The reason why it was said to be two and a half counties was because the locusts in the third county were only half cleared, and the sky was dark. Li Zexuan and his party had to Stay in the local area and wait until tomorrow morning to continue the eradication of locusts. That day, the scale of the chickens has grown to 410,000!
On the third day of the "departure" of the Tianji brigade, the locusts in the three counties were wiped out, and the chicken flock grew to 470,000!
At noon on the fourth day, after the Tianji brigade wiped out the locusts in Xianyang County, the Tianji brigade composed of 500,000 chickens was divided into two groups. The 200,000 chickens were led by Li Zexuan and set off to the west, and the other 300,000. The chicken, led by Li Ke and Cheng Chumo, headed east, along the Yellow River, and wiped out the locusts in the disaster-stricken states and counties all the way!
"Good news" is frequently reported, and the size of the Tianji brigade is increasing rapidly. The people in the disaster area who were in despair and helplessness due to the large locust plague, saw the good news about Tianji brigade in the "Datang Daily", instantly With infinite fighting spirit ignited, various disaster-stricken prefectures and counties throughout the Guanzhong region have launched vigorous disaster relief operations!
At the same time, various departments of the imperial court have already taken action. The Twelve-Route Supervision Yushi was sent by Li Er to conduct inspections of officials in the twelve disaster-stricken states, focusing on rigorously investigating officials who did not provide adequate relief efforts and even used locust plagues to make money. !
In addition, each inspection census carries a long grain transport team at the back. Some grain transport teams even took advantage of the power of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. This can be regarded as the second fair and honest cooperation between government and business in the history of Datang (the first time). It was last year that the imperial court sent a fleet to the south to exchange food, and many private merchants participated).
As for the sources of these grains, they all came from Taicang, the largest granary in Chang'an City. Taicang is considered a royal granary. Its main function is to provide for the royal family's consumption, rewards, salary, military supplies, and government accounts. Although the main function of Taicang is to rule the central service, it also has some positive effects. For example, every time there is a famine, Taicang will take out grain to supplement the normal warehouse, curb the skyrocketing grain prices, and sell some grain at a low price to help the victims.
Last year, the imperial court sent a fleet to the south to exchange grains and directly filled Taicang. Now Taicang has a full 600,000 shi of grain, and the Hanjiacang in Luoyang stores more than a million shi of grain. Tang has enough confidence to deal with this locust plague!
Since the locust plague started, the effects of food shortages in various regions have not had time to manifest. The imperial court transported part of the grain to various states and counties mainly to tell the affected people in the Guanzhong region that the imperial court has the strength and ability to help them tide over the difficulties. In the face of major natural disasters, sometimes you say 10,000 sentences, it is better to take out the white rice to make the people more at ease!
Therefore, the food in Taicang is not only for disaster relief, but also for stabilizing people's hearts and stabilizing food prices!
Li Er should not only stabilize food prices, but also act!
On the evening of the fifth day of the Tianji brigade’s "departure", Li Zexuan, a group of people, arrived in Yongxian County, and Li Zexuan finally met his old friend Wang Renbiao who had been away for many days!
"Haha! You have been away from Xiaoxuan for nearly half a year. I never thought that you and I would meet again in this situation. At this moment, I really don't know whether Ren Piao should be happy or sad!"
At the end of last year, Li Er decreed to appoint Wang Renbiao as the governor of Qizhou and ordered him to go to Qizhou at the beginning of this year.
Qizhou, which belongs to Gyeonggi Province, is also called Fengxiang Mansion. It has nine counties under its jurisdiction, and the government is in Yong County where Li Zexuan and the others are now!
"Natural disasters should be sorrow for the people, and they should be happy for friends. There is no conflict between the two!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said.
Wang Renbiao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help sighing, "Xiaoxuan, you are still as open-minded and open-minded as before!"
After sighing, he suddenly looked down, bowed solemnly, and said, "Today, as a mere elder brother as a mere provincial governor, on behalf of the 400,000 people in Qizhou, welcome to Xiaoxuan, your Tianji brigade~!"
Li Zexuan quickly helped him up and said, "You and my brother, why are you polite! Besides, locust relief is originally the responsibility of the Tianji brigade~EbookFREE.me~ We are just extinguishing locusts according to the route that was established before departure. , Even if Renbiao you are not the governor of Qizhou, Tianji Brigade will come to Qizhou for a while~!"
Wang Renbiao shook his head and said, "No matter what, I will support Xiaoxuan's love for you! You must be exhausted after a long journey, Xiaoxuan, come back to the governor's mansion and rest with me!"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and refused: "No, it's important to eliminate locusts! In fact, I didn't feel tired all the way. After all, I have martial arts, and these children are the most tired!"
Wang Renbiao couldn't help but cast his eyes on the children in the field who were holding loudspeakers and directing the chickens to march. They were all sweating. But the enthusiasm remained the same, which made him sigh with emotion: "Lantian County is truly an outstanding man. With Xiaoxuan, you are such a noble and knowledgeable Hou Ye, these children will definitely have something to do in the future! Prepare meat, throat soup, and heat-relieving soup. How about I invite the children tonight for this meal?"
"This"
Li Zexuan just wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Leng Yuyao next to him:
"Master Hou, don't refuse! My son learned that you are going to Qizhou today, and started sending people to prepare these things yesterday. Yuyao knows that you don't need the money for these meals, but my son wants to make a share too. Your mind will be fulfilled!"
Li Zexuan felt helpless, thinking for a moment, and nodded and agreed: "That's good! Let Renbiao cost you money~! In fact, Renbiao, you are now a provincial governor, you should take official duties as the most important thing, you don't have to go out to meet us in person!"
Wang Renbiao laughed and said: "Xiaoxuan, you and my brother, why be polite!"
In the same way, they answered different questions, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
"That's fine! I won't be polite to you~! I will prepare twenty watermelons for the children tonight!"
"Haha! No problem! I'll send someone to buy it!"
