GBP Chapter 1205 Never wrong an innocent person, and never let a guilty person go unpunished.
Chapter 1205 Never wrong an innocent person, and never let a guilty person go unpunished.
As Zhu Biao finished speaking, the Qianqing Palace fell into silence.
Goodness, I thought you, Black Sesame Dumpling, wanted to protect Li Qi, which is why you called everyone to the Qianqing Palace to go through the formalities.
As it turned out, the trouble Li Qi caused was just an appetizer; the real meal was caused by Chang Sheng, Chang Mao, and Li Mingchen.
No, it's not right to say that the mess left by the Fujian Provincial Governor was caused by the Chang brothers and Li Mingchen. It should be said that you, Black Sesame Dumpling, and Yang the Madman worked together to make it happen, and the Chang brothers and Li Mingchen were just cleaning up the mess for you two.
Seriously, we thought that if your dad suddenly ran away, everyone would be able to relax a bit, but it turns out that we're not relaxed at all; in fact, we're even more tired than before!
While inwardly complaining, Li Shanchang bowed to the black sesame dumplings and said, "Your Highness, I believe that the affairs of Fujian should not only be governed according to the laws of the country, but also according to the principles of Heaven and the hearts of the people."
Liu Bowen also stepped forward, bowed to the black sesame glutinous rice ball, and said: "Your Highness, the matter in Fujian not only involves the remnants of the Pu family, but also millions of innocent people who have suffered disasters. If we do not deal with it severely, we will not only be unable to answer to the countless wronged souls, but also unable to answer to the people of the world. I second your proposal, and I will severely punish those involved."
Yang Shaofeng looked at Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen with a bewildered expression once again.
Did you two pick up the wrong script again?
Or is it that my political intelligence is so low that I can't understand what you're doing?
That doesn't make any sense either.
Yes, I am a novice in officialdom and my political intelligence is indeed not high. However, after what Black Sesame Dumpling did just now, I have come to understand to some extent that Li Shanchang owes Black Sesame Dumpling a huge favor in Li Qi's case.
Now that Black Sesame Dumplings is deliberately shifting the blame, Li Shanchang has nowhere to hide, so he has no choice but to step forward and take the fall for Black Sesame Dumplings and himself.
The question is, where are you, Lao Liu?
Is it really because you're from Zhejiang that you've come to hate officials, gentry, and scholars from other places as well?
Just as Yang Shaofeng was still questioning his life, Yang Siyi's words were like a thunderbolt piercing through the fog.
"Your Highness, I believe that no matter how many people are involved in the Fujian case, or who they are, they should be dealt with severely."
"Those who deserve to be beheaded will be beheaded, those whose property should be confiscated will have their property confiscated, and those who deserve to be exiled will be exiled."
"Without this, it would be insufficient to deter the wicked, let alone give an explanation to the people of the world."
"Especially Henan Kai... cough, we still need to ask the Embroidered Uniform Guard to help verify this matter."
Everything is clear now!
These old foxes weren't willingly taking the blame for Black Sesame Dumplings; they were clearly eyeing the fortunes of those aristocratic families and maritime merchants!
Especially Yang Siyi, that old shrew, his eyes are not only on the powerful families and maritime merchants in Fujian.
He was still eyeing the property of a Semu person in a certain alley in Kaifeng, Henan!
The thought of certain Semu people immediately energized Yang Shaofeng.
The aristocratic families and maritime merchants in Fujian were of no concern. It was simply a matter of what Yang Siyi had said: those who deserved to be killed were killed, those whose property was confiscated were confiscated, and the rest were packed up and sent to Liaodong to do hard labor.
Dengzhou Prefecture and Ningyang County basically gained no benefits.
But the people who work in the Yici Music industry in Tiaojin Hutong are quite different!
What benefits do people who run a charity business need?
It's like targeting a short, ugly person; there's absolutely no benefit needed!
Thinking of this, Yang Shaofeng immediately coughed and stood up, saying, "Do you gentlemen know how much a steamed bun cost in Kaifeng at the end of the Song Dynasty?"
Yang Shaofeng held out a hand and waved it: "Five hundred thousand...five hundred coins! A steamed bun costs five hundred coins! Today, we stand..."
No, that's wrong, it's on the wrong channel.
Yang Shaofeng withdrew his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard will help investigate thoroughly. They will never wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a bad person go unpunished."
Black Sesame Dumpling looked at Yang Shaofeng with a bewildered expression.
What's gotten into my brother-in-law this time?
Before Heizhi Tangyuan could figure it out, Wang Guangyang jumped out and bowed to Zhu Biao, saying, "Your Highness, I have something else to report."
The black sesame dumpling paused for a moment, then said, "Approved."
Wang Guangyang then bowed and said, "Your Highness, the newly established Petrochemical Department of the Ministry of Industry requests that ten more oil wells be added this year, with an oil production target of 50 million catties."
"The Heavy Industry Department requests the allocation of five million catties of brass, and ten million catties each of refined iron and refined steel."
"The Light Industry Department requests the purchase of 10 million catties of cashmere and 10 million pieces of various furs."
"..."
Wang Guangyang kept spouting numbers in the millions and tens of millions, and the entire Qianqing Palace fell silent once again.
After Wang Guangyang reluctantly said, "That's all for now," Yang Siyi immediately jumped out, pointed at Wang Guangyang, and cursed, "You old scoundrel, you eat lamp ash and fart so easily!"
"You son of a bitch don't know the production of oil, but the 'Great Yuan Unified Records' from the previous dynasty clearly states: 'One oil well was drilled in Yanchang and Yanchuan. The oil is flammable and can cure diseases. The annual tax on oil is '110 jin' and '400 jin' respectively.' Damn it, two oil wells, and the annual tax on oil is 110 jin and 400 jin respectively. You old bastard, you're spouting 50 million jin?"
"Do I look like an oil well that produces 50 million catties of oil a year?"
Wang Guangyang rolled his eyes and said, "How much oil is produced is the business of the Petrochemical Company. What does it have to do with you, you old bastard? I'm not digging for oil in your house!"
What is that?
Yang Siyi glared at Wang Guangyang, about to hurl insults, when Black Sesame Dumpling preemptively asked, "What does Minister Wang need so much oil for?"
Wang Guangyang glared at Yang Shaofeng, puzzled, and said, “Your Highness, it’s not that I want the oil. It was Dengzhou University that sent the document for allocating oil to the Ministry of Industry. To be honest, I don’t quite understand how Dengzhou University could find the Petrochemical Department, which was only established a few days ago, so accurately, given how shortly after the reform of the court was over.”
Black Sesame Dumpling unconsciously reached out and touched his nose, while Yang Shaofeng looked up directly at the beams of the Qianqing Palace.
Look at the patterns on the beams of the Qianqing Palace, aren't they beautiful?
Wang Guangyang snorted coldly and continued, "The official document from Dengzhou University says that their School of Chemical Engineering needs a large amount of oil. No matter what I do, whether I steal it, rob it, or whatever, I must get them 50 million catties of oil by the eighth year of Hongwu."
Listen to this! Listen to this! Is this even reasonable?!
What level is the dean of the School of Chemical Engineering at Dengzhou University?
What rank do I, the Minister of Industry, hold?
You damn well wrote an official document asking me for oil, and not only did you not beg me, you even dared to turn around and say some bullshit like "go steal and rob".
This is utterly upside down!
If the president of Dengzhou University weren't some black sesame dumpling sitting on a dragon throne, you'd see if I didn't get you in trouble!
