Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 519 Ending Two

Such a large account and messy accounts, complicated figures, can be said to be difficult even for these twenty Huizhou merchants, and even if they are sorted out, I am afraid that the twenty elite Huizhou merchants will not be able to sort them out. It also needs to be kept around the clock, and there is no guarantee that the calculated number must be correct, but Du Ruhui is worthy of the name of being a genius. Li Mo's double-entry bookkeeping method is even more handy for sorting out such complicated and cumbersome accounts and huge amounts!
But after all, Du Ruhui is a member of the King of Qin, Li Shimin, and Li Mo had to be cautious about this, so he specially selected five of the twenty elite Huizhou merchants. Their main job was to accompany Du Ruhui day and night. In other words, he was worried that Du Ruhui was too tired from work, so he specially sent five assistants to work. The main job of these five assistants was to keep an eye on Du Ruhui.

They checked the accounts that Du Ruhui had calculated carefully, and used the double-entry bookkeeping method to calculate them. Even if Du Ruhui is capable of financial calculations, they can't hide it from Li Mo if they want to cheat on it!

The problem with the accounts has been completely resolved so far. Du Ruhui feels bitter in his heart and cannot express it, just like a dumb man eating coptis. He is obviously a minister of Prince Qin's mansion, but now he has to work for King Yan, and he has to do it wholeheartedly. Work hard, because even Du Ruhui needs to deal with it with all his strength, otherwise he will be too busy with this account!
The problem of the accounts will be solved here. With Du Ruhui and those Huizhou business elites, it is enough to ensure that there will be no major problems in this transaction. Even some small mistakes are within the scope of Li Mo's tolerance. Anyway, this time between the South and the North Li Mo definitely made a profit from the locust and grain trade between the two.

Of course, those big merchants from the south also make money, otherwise they wouldn’t be so crazy, but this is also the right thing to do. If you want someone to work for you, you have to give up your interests first, whether it’s for the people or profit Well, in short, no one will help you for no reason!
However, Wei Zheng is probably not included in this list. The locusts in the three lands and the grain exchange in the Jiangnan area are in full swing. Every transaction is an astronomical sum, and it is impossible for Li Mo to personally deal with these, especially now Li Mo Luoyang is located in Luoyang, but Luoyang, Shandong, Henan, the land of three roads, thousands of miles wide, hundreds of prefectures and counties, these places, it is impossible for Li Mo to personally inspect every county,

Therefore, his order can only be issued to the county magistrate level, and then the counties will organize and order the acquisition of locusts, and then send them to the Luoyang area for statistics by the state government. The same is true for the distribution of food in various regions, but it is inevitable that there will be some moths!
Especially those officials and yamen servants in the prefectures and counties, after all, the work they face every day is to collect locusts and distribute food, which is equivalent to passing white money through their hands over and over again. Under the circumstances, how could the officials of these prefectural and county government offices not be tempted?
Even in some places, the magistrates of governors and magistrates have been rampant for tigers and have begun to actively squeeze the people, especially in Shandong and Hebei. After all, King Yan is now sitting in Luoyang, and he still has a relatively strong control over Henan.

But in terms of control over the entire Shandong and even Hebei regions, the corrupt officials in these regions are particularly bad. Li Mo’s purchase price for common people’s locusts is one penny and ten catties, which can probably be complied with in the Henan region , but when it comes to Shandong and Hebei, this order is issued to the prefectures and counties, and the price they buy locusts from the people becomes [-] catties for a penny, or even [-] catties for a penny. In their pockets!

As for the large amount of grain shipped from the southern region, Li Mo originally intended to sell it to the disaster victims at a price of six cents a catty. In this way, the common people could not only drink disaster relief porridge, but also buy disaster relief food. Surviving this famine year is definitely not a problem, but those corrupt officials have found an excuse to make a fortune. The relief food that was originally six cents a catty was sold by them for ten cents or even fifteen cents a catty, what's more. They sold it for [-] yuan, and even the porridge sheds for disaster relief that were opened as usual in various prefectures and counties were also dismantled by these corrupt officials. It's unspeakable, but it's not that there is no way out, they still have to catch locusts and sell them to the government, and then go to buy food from the government!
In this way, I can barely survive, but after a day of hard work, I can only get food and clothing. Even if I don’t work overtime and work wholeheartedly, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to eat enough, let alone have any surplus and savings. !
This situation is getting worse and worse in the entire Shandong area and even the Hebei area. Under the situation where the people are miserable, Li Mo didn't make a sound, and he didn't even send people to inspect the prefectures and counties, but there is no way to do it The thing is, King Yan's trip to Beijing this time, although the battle can be said to be overwhelming, but in fact there are very few people who can work,
The strongest lineup he has now is the [-] Huizhou merchants, the [-] Yingchuan students, and the [-] Bailu students. If the monitoring system of the Land of Dao is taken over, there will be a big problem.
However, Li Mo has some countermeasures for this. Although he knew that this matter was inevitable, he only acted brazenly half a month after the disaster relief entered the formalization process, and it was not because Li Mo did not want to act during this half month. It's just that even if he makes a move, there is only one person who can use Wei Zheng. Although Wei Zheng is strong, it is impossible to review and exclude hundreds of state capitals and counties in the Three Ways in a short period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to send more people to Wei Zheng.

Li Mo's method of sending additional staff is to use this half month to teach Wei Zheng how to investigate and deal with corrupt officials for the twenty Yingchuan students and the twenty Bailu students, and to teach them Wei Zheng's experience without reservation. Yingchuan students and Bailu students,
Wei Zheng's name has basically spread by now. After all, within half a month of serving as the imperial historian of the Tang Dynasty, he successively impeached 13 officials in the imperial court. There are twenty Yingchuan students and Bailu students like Professor Wei Zheng. Although their ability to learn is not even one-tenth of Wei Zheng's, it is enough to barely monitor various places.
