Ren Fei looked at Hu Qingyun, "Shopkeeper Hu must be able to calculate it."

Hu Qingyun nodded, "Yes, the annual income from goods transported by the court's commercial transportation is about 20 million taels of silver before the cost is calculated. After deducting all expenses, the remaining amount is at least 10 million taels of silver. I don't know where I went."

"What do you mean is that this ten million taels of silver after deducting the transportation costs of military rations and other things?"

"All deductions."

Hu Qingyun said.

Jin Ning was shocked and sneered, "Sun Ronggui, Sun Ronggui, you are living a better life than the emperor."

"This is not only collected by Sun Ronggui, but he probably managed the entire yamen."

Jinning said angrily: "Sun Ronggui does this, so other places will do the same as the water transportation supervisors. All places will respect him again. So, no matter how much he eliminates it, he will make this ten million taels of silver a year, right?"

Ren Fei and Hu Qingyun looked at each other, but Ren Fei said without saying a word. Hu Qingyun said: "In fact, from the former emperor's dynasty to the present, the grain transportation has been the most corrupt."

“This is more than corruption?

This is simply terrible.”

Jinning said angrily.

No wonder the Queen Mother asked her to serve as the supervisor, and it was obvious that the problem had been seen long ago.

But I believe even the Empress Dowager doesn’t know how serious the corruption in the canal transportation is, right?

Every year, the military expenditure is seriously insufficient, especially when the war was launched, although the food and grass were kept up, if we really had to fight a protracted war, the court would not last long.

At that time, in order to raise military expenses, I am afraid that taxes will be continuously imposed, and then the lives of the people will be even harder.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Sun Ronggui as a country's great rat.

Sun Giant Rat.

"Princess, this matter still needs to be investigated. After all, Ren is only a calculation in his heart, but if this matter is really taken to the court, evidence is still needed."

Ren Gang Master said.

Hu Qingyun said: "It's not easy to investigate. Their accounts must be settled. After all, other expenses are not separated, and a few confusing accounts are added together to give the court some profit. The emperor thought that even if the canal transportation was corrupt, it was not too much. If the data were found on the books, the emperor would not pay attention to it. After all, the rice consumption and profit paid by the canal transportation side were enough to support the entire canal transportation navy."

Jinning said: "Shopkeeper Hu is right. The emperor is not unaware of this matter over the years, but he doesn't know it's so serious. If we want to thoroughly investigate Sun Ronggui, there must be evidence. After all, the court believes that relying on the grain transportation, it will be a lot of money, but he didn't know that the money the court got was very different from the money that Sun Ronggui had obtained."

She bowed to Ren Fei, "Ren Gang Master, thank you for your clues this time. If you have any needs, I will ask the Gang Master to go through the mansion again."

"Ren is ready to serve the county marquis and say goodbye."

Let the gang leader bow down.

After Ren Gangmaster left, Jinning asked Hu Qingyun, "How is Ren Fei like?"

"A man in the world is loyal and loyal."

Hu Qingyun used four words to describe it.

Jinning nodded, "I don't doubt the person that Manager Hu can trust, but this matter needs to be verified and investigated. You can't just say whatever he says alone. After all, there is an old Sun behind Sun Ronggui."

"Yes, this is what I mean. The boss must investigate it again. The Caobang may not have no selfishness when he comes to help."

"The Cao Bang is a man in the martial arts world and a businessman, so it doesn't matter if he has selfishness."

Jinning left Dingfenghao and went to Nanjian.

When Su Yi heard this, he was shocked, "Is this impossible?"

The annual canal transportation account must be paid to the Ministry of Revenue, which is strictly reviewed, and it is impossible to have such a big gap.”

Jinning nodded, "Yes, so, Master, I still have to start with his good looks. Sun Ronggui must have done everything without any leakage, otherwise he would have been uprooted. Even Master, you and Lord Li, the inspector, investigated together, and only said that he had obtained filial piety money from the supervision offices of various places. This year, 10 million taels are really scary."

"Isn't it scary?"

Su Yi couldn't believe it, "Do you know that the deposit of my Great Zhou Treasury is only 20 million taels of silver."

Jinning smiled bitterly, "I know, these 20 million taels of silver are also watery. I guess I have to calculate it carefully, and there is less than 10 million taels of silver."

The Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed very tight in finances, the economy was not good, and there were many natural disasters in farming. Floods and droughts continued year by year. In addition, foreign rebellion continued, and the military expenditures were all over the court, which made the court overwhelmed.

In this case, the treasury still has surplus of silver instead of a negative deficit, which is already a contribution to the Ministry of Revenue’s financial management.

Su Yi said: "These years are indeed difficult, so the Regent said that promoting trade between diplomatic relations and developing the economy is an urgent way out. When Jiangning Hou went to Northern Tang this time, in addition to buying war horses, he also shouldered a heavy responsibility. He hoped that the two countries could negotiate friendly and conduct large-scale trade exchanges. Now the exchange of goods between the two countries is only in their respective border towns, which is really difficult to benefit the entire country."

"So that's it. I hope this reform can be implemented smoothly."

Jinning feels that it is really a time of great change now, and during this period, I guess there will be many troubles.

"By the way, Master, have you investigated the Red Lotus Sect?"

"Isn't the Red Lotus Sect Chen Mu from the Ministry of Justice investigating?"

Su Yi didn't care much, "Every time, some cults will come out to cheat, so there is no need to pay too much attention."

"No, the scale of this Red Lotus Sect is quite large. Master pays more attention."

Jinning said.

Su Yi glanced at her, "Do you know?"

"When Jingting was on the mountain, he caught a member of the Red Lotus Sect. It can be seen that the Red Lotus Sect was determined to spy on the secrets of the court. The place where Jingting was located began to be blocked from the bottom of the mountain. Most people could not enter, but the man actually appeared on the mountain, which made people suspicious."

Su Yi frowned, "This is true, it really needs attention. What about the person who was arrested?

Where is it now?”

"It should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice."

Jinning said.

Su Yi nodded, "Okay, go back and learn about it."

After Jinning left Nanjian, he felt that he needed to attack Sun Ronggui's beautiful concubine immediately.

Erke has been staring at her for two days. The woman's name is Green Screen, and when she was in Xinghua Tower, she called Chunyi, and she came out to follow Sun Ronggui, so she changed her name.

This green screen doesn't like to stay in the inner house, and always likes to go out for fun. Erke followed her for two days and found that she loves to visit the lake the most. She dressed in a colorful manner for two consecutive days.

After hearing this, Jinning smiled slightly, "I won't go back to the yamen tomorrow, let's go to the lake."

Second, cheer.

"You two, dress up as men's clothes as me."
