When the Minister of Revenue Ma Hong mentioned the Qingtian King, Chu Huan thought of what happened in the desert. The Black Dragon Marquis was kidnapped by the black-robed man, and the Qingtian King chased him away, but he didn't know what happened later.

The remnants of the Qingtian King in Hebei were ready to move, but I don’t know if the Qingtian King had returned to Hebei.

Thinking of the King of Blue Heaven, I naturally thought of Liu Meiniang. After Meiniang and Shubojia left the temple, there was no news about them anymore. I don’t know where they are now. A few months have passed, but I don’t know whether the poison on Meiniang’s body has been relieved.

Seeing Chu Huan thinking, Ma Hong didn't know that he was thinking about the desert, and sighed: "On the books of the Ministry of Revenue, the Sixteen Warehouses of Jinling are all full of grain. Someone sent someone to investigate a while ago, Lord Chu, guess how much food there is there?"

When Chu Huan heard Ma Hong say this, he knew that something must have happened to Jinling Cang, so he shook his head.

Ma Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Not half. Sixteen. Large warehouses, six large warehouses, and five small warehouses, which add up to half, which is very far from the grain storage on the books."

Lang Wuxu's expression began to become embarrassed when he was beside him.

Chu Huan frowned and said, "How could such a situation happen?"

Ma Hong glanced at Lang Wuxu as if nothing had happened, and sneered: "Hu Bufan is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. The Master of the Emperor trusts him and him, but he is lawless on his back. Hu Bufan actually secretly resells the grain of Jinling Cang. Not only him, but not many of the officials in the Jinling Cang had clean hands and feet." He said to Lang Wuxu: "Master Lang, do you know?"

Lang Wuxu was stunned and hurriedly said, "I don't know... Oh, this, the officials in the Jinling Cang were unstoppable to move the official grain, and the officials were not sure about it. However, when Hu Bufan controlled the Ministry of Revenue, he covered the sky with his hands. The Ministry of Revenue and the major granaries of various departments were all placed in it. The officials had long known that this person had formed a clique for personal gain and did some shameful activities, but he didn't expect that he was so greedy. However, after the previous inspection, it was really a pleasure to punish a large number of traitors in the warehouse and robbery officials."

Ma Hong said: "Nothing is useful now. The southeast Tianmen Road is fighting, and General Lei went to the front line in person. The emperor issued an order to the Qin Dynasty. The main task of pacifying the Tianmen Road is to pacify the Tianmen Road. Before General Lei set out, the emperor promised General Lei in front of all officials that the court would give him whatever General Lei wants. Hehe, what he wants, where to give him? Hey, we have to pull him out from our Ministry of Revenue."

Chu Huan asked, "Mr. Master, before he went on a mission, the officials heard that the officers and soldiers surrounded the Tianmen Dao. The Tianmen Dao was weak. Why did the Tianmen Dao spread so much in just a short time?"

At this time, the servant had already brought the tea. When the servant retreated, Ma Hongcai picked up the teacup, blew the tea powder, tasted it, and then said: "Speaking of it, Hu Bufan is really a very evil crime. Lord Chu, you should know that Hu Bufan had handed a memorial to the court before, saying that the national treasury was short of food, and he had to borrow food from the gentry of the Jianghuai Road, and wait until the Tianmen Road was pacified before returning it!"

Chu Huan naturally knew about this. He still remembered that Ouyang Zhi, the head of the Warehouse Department, opposed the matter at that time, and he also raised objections. However, in the end, the Secretariat adopted the strategy of borrowing grain.

He nodded, Ma Hong slapped the table and said, "Hu Bufan is a traitor who is a big traitor in the country. The departments of the Ministry of Revenue, under the Ministry of Revenue, borrowed grain from the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry were all disgraced. However, after this incident, the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry of the gentry were all very financially and were locally tyrants with a wide connection...!" Shaking his head, "Forcing these gentry to rebel, what good results do you think the officers and soldiers can have...!"

Chu Huan sighed in his heart. He and Ouyang Zhi had thought of this for a long time. Moreover, the reason why those wealthy families could dominate was to rely on family wealth to support themselves. The strategy of borrowing food was to seize other people's wealth under the banner. For those wealthy families, there is no difference between taking money and robbing their lives, and family wealth is even more important than life.

In fact, Chu Huan has never understood it. Even ordinary officials like him and Ouyang Zhi can think that a little careless plan to borrow food would cause a huge disaster. Why did the important officials of the imperial subordinates of the Central Secretariat ignore this?

Ma Hong is a favorite minister around the emperor. He has always been trusted by the emperor and can often meet the emperor. He talks about it today and seems that he has seen the inappropriateness of it. Why did the important officials in the court oppose it when this decree was issued? Could it be that those important officials in the court, even those important officials in the court were fascinated by ghosts at the same time?

"I won't talk about the matter over there." Ma Hong looked in a very good mood: "Let's discuss the matter in the northwest. The official also said that the grain in the granary was insufficient, and the grain in the Jinling warehouse was reduced by half, but the war in the southeast cannot be neglected. The relief grain that had been transported to the northwest to the southeast in the previous period was already transported to the southeast. This was very tight. In a few days, the ceremony of worshiping the sky in Tongtian Palace was about to be held. When the emperor ascended the throne, he held a ceremony for worshiping the sky. Many years have passed. This time, the sacrifice to the sky was very grand, and the silver was like flowing water. I, the Minister of Revenue, now I have shortage of silver and food... I have nowhere to grab it. I want grain in the northwest, but we really can't take it out. At most, some farming tools can be allocated there. If the silver is one tael, it is even more difficult to transfer one ounce of grain!"

Chu Huan said: "My Lord of the Ministry of the Cong meant to agree with the strategy of occupying land with grain?"

"Aren't I just looking for two people to discuss?" Ma Hong picked up the teacup and said, "The Secretariat should have made a decision on this matter, but the Secretariat threw this matter to our Ministry of Revenue. In the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, Duke An Guo led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple to take care of it, saying that he had no energy to ask about the small matters in the northwest... Hehe, small matters..., I said it so happily that our Ministry of Revenue made a decision early. If something really happened in the northwest, our Ministry of Revenue and other people would not escape the relationship!" He looked at the two subordinates at each other, and said slowly with the tea powder: "Two sirs, you all talk about it, how should we solve this matter?"

Lang Wuxu is the easiest person to observe his expressions and expressions. He is in the officialdom and knows that everything must be cautious. He knows very well that the matter in the northwest is really not a trivial matter.

The Secretariat threw such a thing into the Ministry of Revenue. The three of them here were all in a clear mind. Who wouldn't know that this was a trick played by the Secretariat.

If it were the past, Lang Wuxu might not have spoken easily. If there was a word for this kind of state affairs, if something went wrong, I would be afraid that it would be a big deal, but now is different from the past.

Lang Wuxu was originally a party of Hu Bufan, but he was close to Chu Huan behind his back. It was precisely because of this that after Hu Bufan was dismissed, Lang Wuxu was unscathed and remained in the Ministry of Revenue.

However, when he was following Hu Bufan, as Hu Bufan's confidant, he was still very important in speaking in the Ministry of Revenue. Now Ma Hong is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Although Lang Wuxu is still the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he is very clear about his position in the Ministry of Revenue. Whether it is Ma Hong or Chu Huan, he is much more stable than himself in the Ministry of Revenue. He knows that if he wants to maintain his current status, he must try his best to cater to these two people.

Ma Hong asked, Chu Huan didn't say anything, even if Lang Wuxu didn't want to say more, he couldn't help him at this time. Not only did he want to say something, but he knew that he couldn't talk more nonsense, and he had to show a joint attitude in front of these two people, so he put down the teacup in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and whispered: "Master Budang, look at the guys above, this is to use us as scapegoats!"

Ma Hong brows, said "Oh" and asked with a smile: "Why did Lord Lang say this?"

Lang Wuxu showed a thoughtful attitude and said: "Mr. Master, the northwest of the northwest rents land. Whether it agrees or not, if this matter is spread to our Ministry of Revenue, it will put us in a dilemma. If you don't agree, then many people will jump out and ask our Ministry of Revenue to allocate grain and silver to send it to the northwest. If you can't take it out, they will impeach us regardless of the empire's plight and ignore the chaos in the northwest. If you really want to cause chaos in the northwest, our Ministry of Revenue will definitely be affected. If you agree, this order will be passed on.

If we continue, everyone in the world thinks that this is what our Ministry of Revenue does. The wealthy families in Xiguandao naturally feel hatred for our Ministry of Revenue. Even other wealthy families will probably feel dissatisfied with us. The wealthy families in Xiguandao have land deeds, and our Ministry of Revenue has a document to agree to rent land with grain. If the land deeds in Xiguandao families become useless, the people in the world who have land deeds will naturally be panicked...!" Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly: "Maybe there will be troubles. As long as there is chaos, our Ministry of Revenue will be responsible for the responsibility!"

Ma Hongfu said, "Mr. Lang is right, that's the case. I thought about it, but I can't enforce the law with the best of both worlds. Lord. Lang, see what can I solve the current urgent problem?"

"This...!" Lang Wuxu looked at Chu Huan and smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, you just came back from the northwest. Look, how should we deal with this matter?"

Chu Huan immediately said with stern expression: "Mr. Master and Lord Lang are here. Both are seniors of the lower officials, with rich experience and capable ministers in the court. How dare the lower officials talk nonsense here!"

"Master Chu is humble." Ma Hong smiled and said, "I think that sometimes we old guys are dizzy and have a confused mind, and they can't turn around. Master Chu is young and talented, smart and capable, and has a dynamic brain. What do you think and speak out in a blunt way? Are we all thinking about ways? Just say whatever you have."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Such a major national event is related to the stability of one country and the stability of the country. The officials really dare not say much, and... the officials really have no idea now!"

Ma Hong's eyes twitched, and Wenlang Wuxu said, "Sir, what do you think?"

"The subordinates follow the instructions of the master of the ministry!" Lang Wuxu immediately said with confidence.
