Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4053 The future is dark

Liu Ye thought about it. Although he was a little anxious, three days was almost enough. Wei County itself was a breakthrough point. Li Fu's situation was very clear and his future was very bright.

"I'll let you know when I'm sure." Liu Ye nodded and said.

Liu Ye didn't dare to delay, and quickly took his guards to investigate, and soon a large amount of factual information was collected, and Liu Ye felt a little dizzy.

As a grain-producing area in the north, under the adjustment of Chen Xi's talent, the weather is absolutely favorable. However, according to the people of Wei County this year, Wei County has not reduced its production, and it should be regarded as a complete harvest. But it is obvious that Li Fu put this Things are suppressed.

At least Chang'an didn't know about it at all, and although the people of Weijun were also complaining about it, Weijun opened a warehouse to release grain, and compensated the people who had no harvest according to the amount of grain output last year, and according to Liu Ye's previous memory According to the content, Wei Jun paid the tax for summer grain.

No, no, Liu Ye suddenly remembered one thing. Their taxes were only paid in name, and they are still under the pressure of Wei County. They just reported the amount of taxes paid, and then waited for the verification at the end of the year.

Thinking of this point, Liu Ye's scalp is numb. He doesn't even dare to think about whether the official granary in Wei County really has grain. After the grain release and empty payment, the granary in Wei County should be empty.

Afterwards, Liu Ye quickly started the investigation based on this well-known clue, and interviewed many common people. The common people basically had nothing to hide about this matter.

There is no doubt that the summer grain in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the people of Wei County who planted new seeds, basically had no harvest. Li Fu immediately released the grain to suppress this matter, and all the banditry incidents did not really start from half a year ago. .

To be precise, it only appeared after Xia Mai grew up. In this case, Liu Ye's eyes were already gloomy, but he still had a lot of uncertainties.

However, when Liu Ye's investigation reached the evening of the second day, a group of people surrounded Liu Ye and the investigation team.

The leading county captain, if Liu Bei was here, he would definitely know him, but unfortunately, Liu Ye didn't know him. The county captain blocked off the entire street and surrounded Liu Ye in the middle. At this moment, Liu Ye's expression changed Tie Qing, several possibilities even appeared in his mind.

"According to the reports from the local people, you may be the accomplices of the robbers last time. Come with us." Wang Chen, the county lieutenant of Wei County, looked at Liu Ye with a gloomy expression. The evil spirit made Liu Ye understand that even the guards he brought might not be able to beat this county lieutenant.

"Investigators from Chang'an." Seeing the surrounding county soldiers close up, Liu Ye decisively took out the talisman he had prepared before he came.

Seeing this scene, the county lieutenant Wang Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and then his face became more fierce, "Catch all alive, take them all, don't let one go."

Liu Ye was confused, and his heart sank, but he didn't directly confront him, but caught him without a fight. After all, this matter has come to this point, Liu Ye has already seen more bad things from the expression on the other side. The problem now is that , What happened to the last wave of Chang'an dispatched personnel.

Or more directly, are there really investigators sent by Chang'an last time?

Wang Chen brought Liu Ye and a group of people directly to the government office. Li Fu from the government office looked familiar when he saw Liu Ye. When I saw Ye, I had some vague impressions.

"Governor, we have caught another batch of targets who may be remnants of bandits." Wang Chen said with a salute, "The people he leads are quite powerful. If the other party didn't directly resist, I'm afraid the county soldiers would have suffered more than a dozen casualties." name."

"?" Li Fu was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at Liu Ye. The more he looked, the more familiar he looked, and Liu Ye was flexing his wrist at this time, looking at Liu Ye with a flat face, and then a flash of light appeared in his mind, and he hurried up Untied the rope for Liu Ye.

"Hurry up, hurry up, untie it, this time it's really the investigators sent by Chang'an." Li Fu was about to cry, and he couldn't untie the rope with his hands, so he quickly greeted Wang Chen. The hemp rope was cut with two strokes of the knife.

"Doctor Liu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we have been a little nervous recently, and we have regarded you as the remnant of a bandit. This time the matter is too big. I have sent a report to Chang'an before, but I haven't dealt with it before, okay? , The investigation team from Chang'an is here, and they have brought us into a deeper pit." Li Fu nearly explained with tears in his voice, what's the matter.

I finally filled the hole that I didn't know who dug for me before, and solved the Chang'an investigation team that brought me into the hole for the second time, which can be regarded as getting Wei Jun back on track. , and even asked the county lieutenant to lead a team to strengthen the management of Wei County, but Liu Ye, the Taizhong doctor, was arrested.

At this moment, Li Fu really felt that his future was dark, so why fight!

"What the hell is going on? Was there an investigation team before I came?" Liu Ye ignored other things at this time and pointed directly to the core of the problem, "Also, what is going on with this year's summer grain? So many people have lost their harvest."

Although Li Fu said that his mentality was broken, he responded quickly to Liu Ye's question, "There is an investigation team, at least as far as I can find out, it is indeed sent by Chang'an, and the problem lies in Here, these people are not here to solve problems, but to do bad things."

"Where are they?" Liu Ye said with a gloomy face. He dared to do this kind of thing, and how far he was connected, Liu Ye felt desperate just thinking about it.

"..." Li Fu was silent, there were some things he couldn't say.

"You killed them?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and was silent for a while, and he was sure that the people he dispatched were indeed from Chang'an, and you dare to do it, so you have a problem, right?

"I..." Li Fu opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. Yes, those who did bad things were killed by him, and the bandits were also killed by him. The people who dug the pit before were bought by other counties. The long history and master book recommended by cheaters.

Liu Ye looked at Li Fu, he really didn't know whether Li Fu was trustworthy or not at this moment.

"How is the storage warehouse in the county?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and asked.

"All of them have been converted into money tickets, and they have been officially pledged to the Weijun bank to pay the grain tax through the Yanzhou channel. As for the food, we believe that the government's reputation is to pay for the goods first, and the money is in the Weijun bank. Yanzhou has confirmed the existence of the money. The food should be on the way." Li Fu said after being silent for a while, and Liu Ye was much relieved when he heard that.

As long as he still thinks about his official career, that's not a big problem. What's more, when the summer grain harvest is partially cut off, he quickly opened a storage warehouse to avoid riots among the people. In fact, it also shows that Li Fu wants to continue to be an official. In this case, Li Fu Even if there are problems, it is at least somewhat trustworthy.

"Is the payment going to be postponed?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu and asked.

Obviously, the money pledged by the official Weijun bank is actually the grain tax of Weijun, but Yiji, the governor of Yanzhou in Weijun, said yes, the loss on the way to transport it here is a bit big, I convert it into cash, you help I'll pay it on my behalf.

This matter is not against the rules, it belongs to the kind of you and me. As the agricultural and grain base of the Central Plains, Yanzhou has received many cases of this, and it can be regarded as a pleasure to others.

More importantly, this method of tax payment is conducive to the overall calculation of national tax revenue. Therefore, other states and counties have given money to Yanzhou and asked Yanzhou to pay this matter. There has never been a problem. This is only beneficial from top to bottom, so Li Fu stuffed the money into the Weijun bank, and asked the Weijun bank to send a message to the Yanzhou bank, saying that it was paying taxes on its behalf.

Yanzhou is just going through a process. It is impossible to compare and verify. It will only be checked together at the end of the year. As for the arrival of this wave, it is impossible to pretend to be dead when the tax is checked. Do you still need the official hat? We can't let Yanzhou cover this shortfall, it's unrealistic.

But Yanzhou is not unreasonable. We will make a total calculation at the end of the year, so you have not paid the money for the summer grain tax, so you can pay it together at the end of the year.

In this way, Wei County has at least half a year of buffer time. After that, there is no doubt that the funds will be embezzled to buy grain and grass in other places, fill the storage warehouse again, and the pledged money will be embezzled. If you don’t need anything extra, take your time, don’t pay attention to the speed of logistics, consignment order is fine, just come before the end of the year, but you send me the voucher first.

That is to say, if Liu Ye came a few days later, Li Fu could actually say with a pat on his chest that the storage warehouses in Wei County are full, because there are certificates to prove that these warehouses have been used, but they will be filled again after a while Full, now empty, just because of the flow.

Even if it wasn't for Chen Xi to go down and put the rice made by Cai Mao's group into the feed, Li Fu could use other settlement methods to get the rice first, fill up the treasury, and then rely on turnover to carry through this period of time, but Chen Xi Stuck on this road.

Li Fu sighed. Now he really feels that his future is dark. He finally found a route that can avoid all problems and smooth out everything with time. As a result, he met Liu Ye as soon as he implemented it, and then he basically lost everything. exposed.

Just thinking about this, Li Fu felt that his official career was basically over, and what was even more aggrieved was that he was just working, wanted to do better and wanted to be promoted, and then returned to his hometown when he was sixty or seventy years old, and was buried in his ancestral grave. At that time, a few circles were added to the ancestral hall or something.

The result is not that he didn't work, nor that he didn't do a good job, but the most realistic point is that he was plotted by those Jizhou dogs, and more importantly, his methods were not good enough, and he didn't completely settle the debt. .
