Chapter 252 0247 [Floods, droughts and earthquakes come in turn](2/2)
If Ju Ming hadn't caused trouble, he could have taken advantage of this year's drought to hoard and steal government rations and make a huge profit!
But Ju Ming didn't give him a chance at all and kept an eye on the price of grain every day. He convened a meeting of merchants once every five days and ordered all grain merchants to sell at the official price. Whoever sold more expensive grains would be fined double.
In the end, Li Daochong didn't make any money, nor did he gain any reputation or political achievements. It was all in vain that he benefited from Ju Ming.
How can there be such an official in the world?
Li Daochong was now very sure that Ju Ming did not corrupt even half of his money, and he did not even take the unwritten gray income. All the money from the envoy's treasury that the governor could normally embezzle was handed over by Ju Ming to Qian Chen to buy grain in Xiangyang.
As for the iron smelting plant, there is a lot of initial investment, and who knows when the cost will be recovered.
Li Daochong was angry and frustrated. He couldn't fight such a person because he didn't know how to fight at all.
Everything he did seemed to be in vain.
We can only hope that the ten major crimes listed in the impeachment memorial will make the emperor angry. After all, the emperor's most important thing is the sacrifice.
Moreover, if the local officials did not perform sacrifices properly, it showed that they did not take the emperor to heart.
"Ms. sir, do you still want to compete with the person named Zhu to be the examiner of the state examination?"
"How to argue? He is the magistrate of the state, and I am just the judge. If he insists on being the chief examiner, who in Jinzhou will dare to object?"
Li Daochong roared to vent his anger and then returned to the back house to drink.
