The emperor finally decided to name the bonds Agricultural Bonds.
The first issue is only issued in the capital, with a one-year issuance period, a total amount of two million yuan, and an annual interest of 10%.
This is much higher than the interest rate on bank deposits, and it is stamped with the seals of the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Agriculture.
The bank responsible for the issuance also clearly informed customers that each bond is ten yuan and can be exchanged for eleven yuan when it is withdrawn after one year.
Because it is anonymous, it can be sold to others at any time.
Most people have a wait-and-see attitude towards this new thing, with many inquiries and few purchases.
On the first day of release, only more than 10,000 yuan was sold.
This made Bi Ziyan very anxious.
When the maids in the royal glass and mirror shop also started to buy the bond the next day, people in the capital realized that it was not a lie and immediately rushed in.
More than 800,000 yuan was sold that day.
On the third day sold out.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were overjoyed to see that it was so easy to sell.
Seeing that the funds of the Ministry of Revenue were somewhat stretched, they suggested to Bi Ziyan to issue more bonds, but Bi Ziyan refused.
He scolded: "Borrowing money feels good for a while, but what do you do when you have to pay it back?
The Ministry of Agriculture's affordable grain funds have already been secured.
This large-scale inspection will definitely uncover a large number of corrupt officials.
Just confiscating family property will be enough."
If we can get a lot of income, our life will be easier.
Just watch carefully and don't reach out.
Don't blame me for not saying that the factory guards, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the Economic Investigation Bureau are involved at the same time.
I won't care if anything happens. " Nowadays, the salary of officials in the capital is already high.
As long as they work peacefully for decades, they will still have pensions after they become officials.
Calculated together, they can accumulate 200,000 yuan in thirty years, although it is not as good as the three years of the Qing Prefecture. , ten years of snowflake silver, but the best is safety, no need to worry.
Think about the officials who were caught.
They are in jail, their property is confiscated, and their children cannot live.
They can only work hard.
It is better to be more stable.
Warehouse rectification across the country was quickly launched.
Because all places were cleaned up at the same time, the previous method of moving from one place to another to replenish the warehouse was completely useless.
The factory guard had received some reporting materials before.
It happens to be used now.
In a short time, the good days of Ku rats and grain rats in various places have come to an end.
Only in Beizhili, the seventeen scattered prefectures, seventy-two counties and eight guards under the nine prefectures and two Zhili prefectures, ninety Of the seven county-level agencies, only nine have no major problems.
There are no major problems, which means that the accounts can basically match up, but there are some problems with the quality of the food in some warehouses.
Bi Ziyan has anticipated this situation before, so he requested that such warehouses not be punished, but only ordered the warehouses to be cleaned up.
Ready for restructuring.
The warehouses in other prefectures and counties are in terrible condition.
Some granaries are only half filled with grain, but the books are full.
Some warehouses only have rats, but the books contain a certain amount of silver and a certain amount of bronze.
This makes the officials who conduct the inventory happy.
The worry is that a big case has been caught, but the worry is where the food went.
If there is a famine, and the granary that is expected to be saved turns out to be moldy rice or even just numbers, what will happen then?
Courts in various places were extremely busy.
Officials and factory guards kept handing the warehouse envoys' grain documents to the courts, and attached the indictment.
There is nothing to try in this kind of case.

In the face of the facts, sophistry is useless, so the trial is very easy.
After Bi Ziyan received the report from below, he was anxious and angry.
According to the above situation, Ming Dynasty's warehouses, especially local granaries, are almost completely useless, and 90% of the granaries are just decorations.
Fortunately, the big warehouse of the imperial court is under the direct control of the imperial court.
In recent years, many students have entered the official school.
Factory guards are very strict in inspecting this area, so there is not much problem.
There was no way to hide, but Zhu Youxiao still saw Bi Ziyan's report.
He was so angry that he shouted: "Kill them all.
Kill them all by me.
What's the point of living like this?"
The cabinet ministers all looked troubled, and Wu Rendu mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has its own laws, and some people who are not worthy of the death penalty cannot be killed."
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "In these extraordinary times, I think the punishment should be harsher, so as to chill the courage of these corrupt officials.
In the future, when they want to do bad things, they will think about the corpses in front of them."
Wu Rendu hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty personally abolished the punishment of worldly punishment."
Like a plate of cold water being poured down suddenly, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a long time.
At this moment, I remembered that the reason why I was opposed to punishment in the world was because I knew that severe beatings in the previous life were useless.
But when things came to pass, I was swayed by my emotions.
I just wanted to vent the anger in my heart and scare those moths.
But this issue was not considered.
He was a little embarrassed and looked at the ministers below.
The ministers all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the emperor.
After a while, Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, you hate corrupt officials and I feel the same, but we can strengthen the punishment in other ways, such as confiscating family property and making it stricter."
Zhu Youxiao had already figured it out.
He smiled and shook his head and said, "Since there are legal provisions, let's follow them.
I am too emotional and too young."
All the ministers expressed their "emperor's wisdom" and firmly disagreed with his conclusion that he was too young.
Zhu Youxiao knew this was a consolation and didn't care.
He waved his hand and said: "From this situation, the direct management of the warehouse cannot be delayed.
I discussed it with the ministers and the state and county warehouses opened accounts in the bank.
All deposits and withdrawals have to go through the bank.
As for food issues, It is the most important thing in the world, so I decided to establish a Grain Storage Agency, with Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Agriculture as the director.
The grain warehouses in the following states and counties are managed by the Grain Storage Agency and are not subordinate to the governments at all levels.
Relations.
Let's discuss it and see if there are any improvements. " This time there was just an additional department instead of a department, but this did not reassure the ministers.
Direct administration by the court actually means direct administration by the emperor through the cabinet.
If this continues, the power of the cabinet will become greater and greater.
This is a good thing for ministers with obvious factional tendencies, such as the Qi Party, Chu Party, and Zhejiang Party who support Fang Congzhe.
Party, like some Donglin Party members who support Ye Xianggao, they can at least compete.
But for most of the so-called middle people who have no party affiliation, they will feel a little uneasy.
However, no one would be so open-minded as to object to what the emperor had decided.
Everyone only discussed some minor issues such as the setting up of the grain storage agency, but they did put forward some constructive opinions.
As for Director Chen Suowen himself, who does not belong to the Donglin Party or the Qi Chu Zhe Party, there was no objection
