Tang Bin, with the guilt of arbitrary power, traveled around several places for several days. Although he misappropriated military pay to buy grain, in fact, from the grain merchants who hoarded grain and raised the price of grain, even if they paid the silver at a fair price, it was like robbing grain... Just read the novel~

There was a big family in Shi and a strong grain merchant in southern Anhui. Because Shi Hongtu, the leader of the clan, was a juren, and there were also many ancestors with prominent deeds in the ancestral temple. Therefore, he was not afraid of the local government office issuing a notice on stabilizing grain prices. Mr. Shi had his own claim to make money. Since the government was not allowed to raise prices, the master could hoard all the grain. Once the floods in summer and autumn affect the harvest of that year, it was the plague of the year and was still farmed the next year. There was no three-year period for new grain to be produced and put on the market. Therefore, the essential items of rice and flour were only getting more and more expensive and the price was rising. If you hoard it at this time, you don’t have to worry about the profits.

However, Tang Bin hurried to southern Anhui and found out the reputation of Shijia Grain Store. The official had not purchased a large amount of rice and flour, and Shijia Grain Store had already started to limit the sale and supply it in volume every day, which made the local people who had not suffered from floods panic. They went to queue up early in the morning and stocked up rice in small batches at home. When the total supply of rice was insufficient, even the supply of crude bran was in short supply and became popular. Under natural disasters, no matter where they were, people's hearts were indeed in a state of confusion.

Tang Bin had a lot of money on hand, but there was no sufficient food to buy on the market. He was anxious about the disaster in Jiangsu and was worried all day long. The deputy envoy of the imperial envoy Nalan Chengde followed Tang Bin along the way, and he saw the difficulties he had experienced. Don’t look at Rong Ruo who read poetry and books on weekdays and was proficient in poetry and proficient in verses, but he was not fully accustomed to scholars. Instead, he was more chivalrous and righteous because of riding and archery and martial arts.

Nalan Chengde and Liu Quaner talked about the current serious situation. Liu Quaner was also passionate and impulsive. The two hit it off and took the imperial order of the imperial envoy. They went to the local county government to mobilize all the yamen runners to the officers, holding chains and holding iron sticks on their shoulders. When they broke into Shi's mansion, they took the Shi Juren to the county government prison and imprisoned them.

The family of Shi Family No. 10 went to the county government office to cry. Liu Quan'er, wearing a set of fresh and bright green robes, walked out of the county government office gate and said in a quiet voice, "Send the food here and replace people."

The Shi family realized that it was a robbery from the official position.

After learning the whole story, Tang Bin couldn't help but sigh, "...The situation is critical now, and the eldest son is helpless to use tough measures. Since he can kill the chicken to warn the monkey, it is better than waiting to die... The relationship involved in this, I submitted a memorial at the meeting to apologize to my emperor... I will read the novel~"

Nalan Chengde was shocked when he heard this and stopped Tang Binkeng and said, "Why is this so sir? This is tolerate that if you go beyond your own actions, you will take responsibility for your own crime and will definitely not implicate your sir..."

Liu Quan'er was impatient when she heard this and couldn't help but interrupt, "Why both sirs rush to take the blame? Everyone is for the suffering of the people. If the emperor knew the whole story, he might have to be rewarded..."

Tang Bin and Nalan Chengde were immersed in the officialdom for a long time, and understood the obstacles involved in the hook and did not explain them carefully to Liu Quaner. Anyway, the consequences will be revealed soon.

...

The imperial envoy's actions in the south were also known to all the ministries in the central government. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel discussed for half a day, and it was really difficult. If only Tang Bin had no foundation, he would not be afraid of him. The emperor also ordered Nalan Chengde to accompany him. The Grand Secretary Mingzhu did not express his opinion, and there was no personal opinion in the official position. However, the eldest son Rong Ruoru was implicated and was punished, and everyone should be unfavorable.

The matter is most sensitive to money, and it is originally a matter of being investigated. The Ministry of Revenue was disgusted by Lao Tang's abuse of power and using silver. Yisan A thought for a while, but when he went to court, he still took the lead in studying a book called Tang Bin, saying that without approval, he privately misappropriated the military pay he had collected to purchase rice and grain for disaster relief, bought public opinion, and had ulterior motives...

Emperor Kangxi looked at Yisan A and felt a little hesitant. He listened to the words in the book, which were quite traces of the old censor-in-law's talk. Kangxi was too lazy to refute him in person, so he turned his head and looked at Mingzhu, and asked in a calm voice: "Ming Ai-Ching, what do you think?"

Mingzhu originally wanted to act fairly and behave herself out of the matter, but she was named by the emperor in public and could no longer pretend, so she had to bite the bullet and answer: "...After all, the matter is urgent, the feelings are pitiful, and the heart is observable... After all, it is also to understand the people's livelihood and think about the people..."

Kangxi suddenly slapped his hand and couldn't help but praise, "I can see my heart. For the sake of the people, if all the officials can do this and put the people first, then the Qing Dynasty will be peaceful and the country will be stable, and I will be at ease..."

Kangxi admired Mingzhu's motto, so he simply asked Mingzhu to draft an imperial edict, adding Tang Bin the title of an imperial envoy to coordinate disaster relief food and grass, and assigned the authority to allocate nearby Anhui and Jiangxi officials to settle the storage of grain. Nalan Chengde still added the title of deputy envoy to assist Prime Minister Tang Bin in this matter. As for Lao Tang's previous move to embezzle military pay for food and take action before firing, although there was a reason for the incident, it was in violation of the regular process of reporting to the superiors and passing the memorial. In order to maintain the authority of the emperor, the imperial edict could not help but scold Tang Bin for a few words, to avoid arrogance and impetuousness, and to be fined for half a year to show punishment...
