Chapter 26 Taizong Chapter 26 Yellow River Port(2/2)
Misappropriation of grain from the second warehouse is only a relatively minor case, and there are more ugly cases. There was a case in the past few years. Zhang Yan, the magistrate of Huangzhou, together with his subordinates, stole 50,000 shi of grain stored in the second warehouse of the state.
Later, he falsely reported the flood, made several "relief" and "relief loan" activities to wipe out the account, and then applied to the court for relief based on the disaster situation, and tens of thousands of dan of grain were naturally pocketed.
Of course, if such a thing goes too far, it will inevitably be discovered. After reporting it, the Huangzhou criminals, who knew that all the officials below Zhang Yu were beheaded. And that incident once again made Liu Yang see some bureaucrats
Their ugly image has no limits.
And all problems, as far as Liu Yang is concerned, seem to be explained by insufficient supervision and supervision. There is already a big question mark as to how effective the seemingly perfect supervision system of the imperial court is, at least for Liu Yang.
Just staring at some corrupt officials is obviously not enough. The Han Dynasty's supervisory system should look deeper. In an instant, Liu Yang had this thought in his mind.
Thinking about the past and thinking about the present, Liu Yang couldn't help but feel heavy again. He looked up at the river outside the ferry. The dusk was getting darker, the autumn wind was strong, the waves were roaring, and the large and small ships moored at the dock were shaking.
Endless.
Pointing to the front, Liu Yang ordered: "Stay in the town tonight, find a boat, and cross the river tomorrow. Before crossing the river, please explain to the town officials that the autumn flood has started. Monitor the changes in water conditions at any time to ensure that the town is safe.
The lives and property of Dutou merchants are safe!"
"Yes!" Xu Shilian responded immediately.
"Let's go to Heqing County tomorrow!" Looking again, across the Yellow River, there is Heqing County, which is also the first destination of Liu Yang's tour.
The reason is also very simple. This county can be regarded as a "pioneer county" and "model county" in Dahan's tax system reform. However, Liu Yang also heard some not-so-good rumors. He wanted to see and hear it with his own eyes.
