Holding a memorial in his hand, Liu Jun looked over and over for a long time.

This is the memorial of Ni Yuanlu, the left censor of the Censorate. Liu Jun was outside the pass, and a few ministers followed him, and most of the ministers were still staying in the capital. Ni Yuanlu was still staying in the capital, and the left censor was one of the nine great ministers. In the current new dynasty, the responsibilities of each department are more clearly divided.

The Civil Affairs Department, Finance Department, and Tax Department are the finance and tax leadership yamen of the court. The Military Affairs Department, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War are the military affairs department of the court. The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are the intelligence department.

The Censorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice are the three judicial departments and judicial departments of the court.

There are three courts in the central government of the court, the local and provincial levels have censors, and there are also the patrol censors, the procuratorate, the court and the police department. The procuratorate at the government level has a procuratorate, the court, the police department, and the county level. The power and responsibility of the three courts are greater and clearer than in the past.

The memorial sent by Ni Yuanlu is an impeachment memorial. As the supervision and inspection agency of the court, the Censorate has the power to impeach and supervise. Ni Yuanlu was originally from the old Donglin and was once a member of the Jiangbei Party. Now in the new dynasty, he occupies the important position of Zuodu Censor, and has a very selfless demeanor.

He submitted a memorial to the emperor who impeached Long Yuanzuo, the old emperor brother Zhao Guoliang who came out of Macheng.

As soon as I heard this name, I knew that Zhao Guoliang was not an ordinary person. Among the important civil and military officials in the court today, many of them had the titles of the country, including the pillars of the country, China and China, etc., were almost all the old brothers of the emperor back then.

Zhao Guoliang is one of the first hundred elders of the Nine-Headed Bird. He was originally named Gou Sheng, but later he was named Guo Liang by the emperor.

Today's security admiral Zhang Guodong, the general of the Military Region of the Passhang Military Region, was named Donggouzi and Ergou. At that time, Zhao Guosheng was the first nine-headed bird to join the same group as Zhang Guodong, and Zhang Guozhu was still later than them.

With his qualifications, Zhao Guosheng is now the general and the rank of former general.

In just a few years, he went from a poor mountain citizen in the mountainous area of ​​Macheng to an earl in the new dynasty. He was given the title of former general and was named general. His life encounters were a model of following the right person.

But now this upstart has been harshly reported by Ni Yuanlu to impeach him for corruption.

The evidence is conclusive, without any doubt.

Zhao Guoliang's method of embezzlement is also very simple. As a general in a town, it is not difficult to embezzle. He embezzled the public funds of the court, and then opened an underground money house outside and used the public funds to lend.

Nowadays, the basic interest rate of silver continues to decline, no longer as high as before. However, there are many money banks outside the banks, and the interest rate they lend is much higher, so they also increase interest reserves to attract savings and then lend.

Zhao Guosheng embezzled the public funds that should have been deposited in the bank to the underground money house he opened, and then used them to lend and collect high interest rates. However, he still entered the public account according to the bank's interest deposit, and transferred the goods to earn a deposit interest and a loan interest.

This kind of thing is actually very common nowadays.

Although it is an illegal act, it can never resist the greed of someone.

Liu Jun knew very well that industry and commerce are booming now, and business profits are high. However, the imperial banks have a favored view of regulation, lower interest rates, and are strict in lending. Generally, they must have guarantees and are very strict in credit loans.

Many businessmen have difficulty getting regular bank loans, so they turn to those money houses to borrow money. The money house has higher interest rates but wider conditions. Some underground money houses have almost no restrictions on conditions. They are almost all loans.

Although the court has been cracking down on high loans and underground black money shops, many people still take risks under high interest rates.

Zhao Guoliang embezzled public funds, and the amount was still huge.

The most important thing is that he embezzled public funds and secretly operated his underground money house and placed Gaoli Loan. As a result, Gaoli Loan also had a great risk of bad debts. As a result, he gave all the money to a merchant. The merchant took the money and organized a large number of goods to go to Southeast Asia, but it ended up in a storm and capsized.

The ship capsized, the people died and the goods were gone, and the huge sum of money that Zhao Guoliang had lent was naturally wasted and could not come again. Zhao Guoliang could not collect the accounts and could not make up for the empty accounts that were misappropriated, so he naturally exposed them.

As soon as Ni Yuanlu found out about this, he immediately sent someone to investigate it with all his might, and soon the matter was revealed.

A full million silver dollars.

Liu Jun was very angry. He couldn't understand why Zhao Guoliang did this. He actually destroyed his future so stupidly.

Zhao Guoliang was his earliest subordinate, and he was always loyal to him. Liu Jun was not bad at treating him well. In just a few years, he was already a former general and general, and was also named Earl.

Liu Jun did not believe that Zhao Guoliang was short of money when he embezzled.

Zhao Guoliang's current official position and title are at least 10,000 silver dollars a month, and at least 200,000 silver dollars a year. 200,000 silver dollars is not enough for his expenses?

He used to be a poor mountain man, and he was willing to sacrifice his life for five taels of silver to settle the house. The annual income of 200,000 yuan was completely enough.

His embezzlement of public funds and secretly operating underground money houses to lend money is not because he does not have enough money to spend, but because he is greedy.

Now that the case has been revealed, the money is as evidenced.

All the civil and military officials in the court were staring at the emperor, waiting for him to deal with it.

Liu Jun wanted to protect Zhao Guoliang, but he couldn't save it anymore. This case was already there, and the impact was so bad. If Liu Jun protected him, it would be a very bad example.

But he is not guaranteed. What a large amount involved in this case, Zhao Guoliang is sure that the head of the person is not guaranteed.

After all, Liu Jun couldn't bear it with his old brother who had been with him for many years.

"Bastard!" Liu Jun cursed hatefully, and he was so angry that he could not make a strong man.

The cousins ​​Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guozhu were kneeling in front of Liu Jun. They fought against Zhao Guoliang on the battlefield, and the distance between the two villages was only a few dozen miles, not only in the same county but also in the same hometown.

Now that they saw such a big thing happening to Zhao Guoliang, they could only beg the emperor to give up their hands.

The two brothers Zhang Guodong were also secretly scolding Zhao Guoliang for being obsessed with the ghosts. The emperor treated the old brothers very favorably. Not to mention that the old brothers now almost all occupy important positions and have all been awarded titles. Moreover, the emperor also rewarded them every year, and no one has a net worth at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Who is still short of money?

But Zhao Gousheng, the bastard, even embezzled public funds to apply for loans. Isn’t this seeking death?

"Your Majesty, Gou Zuo made a mistake for a moment. Your Majesty dismissed him from his post and his position and his title were all speechless. I only ask Your Majesty to take his position and get rid of his title for his sake. For the sake of his follower, you have no credit and hard work. Please remember your past love and spare his life."

Liu Jun had a dark face, "This bastard, I just considered upgrading him to the admiral. I gave me this kind of thing. Isn't this slap in the face? He has been following me for so many years. Don't you know that the person I hate the most is such a corrupt official? He sold his conscience if he really wants money, talk to me. Wouldn't I give it to him?"

"Your Majesty, Gou Sheng deserves to die, but please forgive him for his death." Zhang Guozhu also pleaded with mercy.

"Yes, your majesty, the remaining children of the dog are only one year old."

Of course, Liu Jun wanted to spare him once. After all, everyone has gone the wrong way, but on the other hand, this matter has been made public now, and it has even been reported.

The whole world knows that the emperor's old subordinates embezzled and misappropriated one million yuan of public funds. All this million yuan was wasted and could not be obtained.

What a bad influence this is. If the emperor can save him from his death today, wouldn’t he have made a big hole and how can he be serious about the national law in the future?

After learning from the pain, Liu Jun finally got up.

This hole cannot be opened.

He sighed, "Get up, everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. Zhao Guoliang doesn't cherish himself, no wonder others."

After saying that, Liu Jun began to personally write an edict for Ni Yuanlu, and investigate and deal with the case of Zhao Guoliang in accordance with the law. The three courts held a trial and the Meridian Gate public trial. If the scriptures were verified, the Meridian Gate would be beheaded."

However, considering that Zhao Guoliang was also a hero. Liu Jun's special order was that he would not punish his family and his property was left to his family, and his one-year-old son was granted the title of Lord.

When the two brothers Zhang Guodong saw the emperor's decree, they all looked pale, but they knew the emperor's character. Once a decision was made, it would never be possible to change it.

In the end, the two brothers could only sigh.

The Zhao Guoliang case also sounded a wake-up call for Liu Jun. Now some of those old brothers have begun to change their minds.

In just a few years, someone lost themselves at a high position.

Liu Jun took over the world, but the world is not stable.

Not to mention that there are Jurchens in the northeast and the chieftains in the southwest and now there are Wei Lat alliances in the northwest to oppose Han. Even the small Japanese country dared to blow up the thorns with the Han, and even dared to cut off the silver and brass exports.

There are also turbulent changes in the Southeast Asian countries, and the old and new forces are alternating.

The huge Han Empire was also full of dangers.

If the upstarts in the court thought that the world could be peaceful and wealth could be enjoyed, they would be wrong.

Zhao Guoliang must be killed. Only by borrowing Zhao Guoliang's head can we truly alert them.

It was almost the end of the year, and all officials such as Yuan Jixian also requested Liu Jun to move to the court. However, Liu Jun was not in a hurry to leave. The court destroyed the four new Korqin tribes and added Xing'an and Liaobei provinces to its territory.

In the past two years, the imperial court has successively expanded borders and has set up a large number of new provinces. However, the newly developed borders are only beautiful on the map. Only by stepping up immigration to these places to rely on borders and garrison troops can the empire truly be considered to be the expansion of borders.

Liu Jun did not want to engage in compulsory immigration. He also hoped to use better policy conditions to attract people's immigrants. For this reason, he gave many generous conditions, such as the imperial court organizing immigration, making preliminary preparations for immigrants' migration, the immigration team route, the guarantee of food, grass, carriages and horses on the road, and even the reception, resettlement after arriving at the local area, as well as the later settlement, all of which must be handled by the imperial court, and it cannot be said that immigration is done.

To do this, it is not easy to use the conditions of this era, which is a great test of the official organizational ability.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jun still felt that he should engage in counterpart immigration.

Shandong Province is opposite to Liaobei Province, Henan Province is opposite to Shandong Province, Hebei Province is opposite to desert south, Jiangbei Province is opposite to Yanbei, Shanxi is opposite to Suiyuan, Shaanxi is opposite to Ningxia, Guangdong is opposite to Guizhou, Jiangxi is opposite to Sichuan, Hubei is opposite to Yunnan, etc.

Such a relatively centralized counterpart resettlement will allocate the tasks of immigration, and the two provinces will connect, one will be responsible for relocation and escort, and the other will be responsible for receiving and resettlement.

Moreover, this immigration method will come from the same region and have the same language, and it will be easier to take root in a new environment. Otherwise, people from all over the world will be placed together, and they will not be able to understand language, have different living habits, and are also very likely to have regional conflicts.

In history, Taiwanese immigrants often had such conflicts. Fujianese fight against Guangdong, Zhangzhou fight against Fuzhou, and in short, there are constant conflicts.

While immigrating, the court must also garrison troops, build roads, build troops stations, post offices, and castles along the way.

These will cost a lot of money, food, property, manpower and material resources, but as long as you do well, it will be a great achievement for the future. This will allow the empire to truly transform the pioneered territory into the actual controlled territory of the empire, providing the empire with a broader living space.

In the long run, there are endless benefits, with the increase of arable land and mineral deposits. More arable land can feed more people, provide more military resources and manpower, and also tax revenue.

From the current perspective, immigration plans can also drive economic development.

Now the Han Dynasty has more than 200 million people, and the population is saturated. The existing land cannot digest so many people. Many people have no land to plant and have few other employment opportunities, which leads to the worsening of poverty.

With the current immigration plan, a large number of people immigrate. If they build a new home, they will need a lot of industrial and commercial goods. When they arrive in a new place, they have to build a new home, purchase agricultural furniture, etc.

This is to expand domestic demand. Many poor people in the mainland immigrate to the border and obtain land. With land, their lives can be self-sufficient and even increase taxes for the court. However, the people who have not left the mainland can also reduce some pressure.

Immigration requires a lot of money, a lot of money, not one million or two million, not ten or two million, or even one hundred and two million, not even one hundred and two million. If this money is not spent, then the borders that have been captured now will not be able to be kept sooner or later. Without spending money to remove many people in the Central Plains to go to the border, the population of the Central Plains has long been saturated and cannot support so many people. If you encounter some major natural disasters, you will have to do it.

But Liu Jun was willing to spend the money.

For countries, money has to be spent. But it cannot be used as enjoyment. In history, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries have risen rapidly, but also fallen rapidly. Why? Because they have not used this money well.

The Spanish opened the New Greater America 6, and the gold and silver mines they found brought them countless gold and silver every year. However, after they transported these gold and silver from New Greater America 6, they did not develop their own industrial and commercial manufacturing industries, but instead simply purchased goods from all over Europe and even the world.

In the end, in addition to increasing inflation, it was constantly providing wealth to all countries. In the end, Spain, which was in pleasure, immediately weakened after the silver production in the Americas decreased.

On the contrary, Britain, France and other countries absorbed a large amount of wealth in their export trade with Spain, accumulated strength and improved their technology, and eventually reversed Spain in one fell swoop.

Liu Jun thinks that Spain is the lesson of the past.
