Chapter 383: The **** of a thousand miles was destroyed by ants
Chapter 383 The Embankment of a Thousand Miles Was Destroyed by Ants
Obviously asking her to hand over the patent to the imperial court would be of greater benefit to the imperial court, but Bai Wutong was full of satisfaction and thought of her.
Zhao Lanzhi was infinitely moved and couldn't help choking: "Thank you, Empress...I...I will definitely work hard to pay taxes!"
Bai Wutong was amused by her, Cui Lingyi wiped her tears for her, "That's right, our goal should be to work hard to pay taxes! You open a workshop and be the first to invest in shares for your teacher! No one will take care of it, I will send someone to take care of it. !"
Cui Lingyi knows little about business, but Sheng Huaixuan is an expert in this field. He is too busy right now, but any of the shopkeepers under his command can take charge of it alone.
Bai Wutong said with a smile: "If you invest in shares, I will be like a stock. How can the Empress have no private property."
Zhao Lanzhi was stunned, and the pressure suddenly increased, for fear that Bai Wutong and the teacher would lose money together.
However, this is also a full affirmation of her ability. Zhao Lanzhi thanked her gratefully and vowed to run the workshop well.
Lemon is a good thing. Bai Wutong directly asked the steward in charge of anchovies to buy all the lemons, and arranged for the lemons to be planted with other fruits.
Moving on, a stall selling steamed buns was crowded with people.
Lin Yue bought two hot buns, handed one to Qingfeng, and saw Bai Wutong and Cui Lingyi head on.
Qingfeng handed the bun to Bai Wutong, who shook his head, "What Lin Yue gave you, eat it yourself, I'll have someone buy it."
Qingfeng nodded, and under Lin Yue's expectant gaze, he took a bite of the steamed bun with thin skin and many fillings.
The skin of the steamed buns is soft and fermented just right. The inside is pure fish meat with delicious and juicy juices, and the taste is very good.
After a while, the servant bought the buns and handed them to Bai Wutong. Even the empress patronized, and the business of the buns stall became even better.
Bai Wutong held the steamed bun thoughtfully, and asked the accompanying officials, "Who is the owner of the steamed bun shop?"
The official said quickly: "The stall registered is a female worker named Tian Fanghua."
Bai Wutong continued to ask: "How long has she spread the buns?"
The official said: "I come almost every day. If she can't come to work, she asks her family to take turns."
Bai Wutong said: "Go and report this family, as well as the situation of this daughter and son-in-law to me."
As soon as these words came out, the official suddenly thought about an unusual taste, but he didn't even think about it, and hurriedly ordered.
Bai Wutong and Cui Lingyi sat under a pergola and drank sour plum juice. After a long time, the officials respectfully handed over the information they found.
Bai Wutong looked one by one on the roster, and soon saw a familiar name.
Bai Wutong's face was heavy, and it was involved in political affairs. Cui Lingyi didn't ask much, just heard Bai Wutong sneer, "It's really courageous."
They have come all the way to the southern border for so long, except for the big families, the rice grains that the common people carry with them have long been exhausted.
The rice grains purchased later and the grains brought by the imperial court are all distributed according to the human head, or only provided to the canteens of various workshops.
There are very few white noodles circulating in the market, of course, the rich can also buy it from others.
However, there must be something odd about being able to buy steamed buns made of pure white flour at such a cheap price, and selling them for so many days.
Bai Wutong got the list and found that the son-in-law of Baozipu was the canteen of the furniture factory, and he was immediately furious.
The number of white rice noodles is clearly registered. It is extremely difficult to hide so many white rice noodles without being discovered.
But Zhang Tong did it.
What does this mean? It means that everyone turned a blind eye, and even helped him to cover up for profit.
The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ants, and corruption will erode the interests of everyone.
Bai Wutong sighed, asked Cui Lingyi to step back, and asked the dark guard to call Cui Shi Ze.
Bai Wutong pointed to the steamed buns stall in front, "What can Master Cui see?"
Cui Shize was stunned for a moment, he couldn't say that the steamed buns stall was doing well, Bai Wutong definitely meant something.
He stood still and looked at it, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Many people can't eat white rice noodles. Even the 30 people in Qinghe usually only eat the masters. How can anyone sell steamed buns!
Cui Shize glanced at Bai Wutong, secretly startled, and immediately knelt down, "I can't be enough to inspect the minister, the empress shall calm down."
"The minister must immediately send someone to find out about this matter and punish him severely, as an example!"
Bai Wutong said solemnly: "Are the inspection departments all rice buckets?"
"Let them formulate a detailed reporting, inspector and anti-corruption system for me, and mobilize every citizen to participate in it. If it cannot be formulated within five days, I will replace it!"
There was such a big mistake, and Bai Wutong personally caught it. It would be light for her to not be dismissed immediately. Cui Shi Ze quickly responded and sent people to arrest all the people who were running the steamed buns.
The people suddenly shouted unexpectedly, "What's going on?"
"Why arrest people?"
"Hey, I haven't paid for it yet!"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, my shoe fell off."
Tian Fanghua struggled in a panic: "Sir, sir, we are all good people. We paid the booth fee and sold something to eat. Why do you arrest us?"
The reason why she has the courage to shout out is because her good son-in-law has promised that it will be absolutely fine if someone finds out, because they use substandard rice noodles that are going to deteriorate quickly, and he buys them from the imperial court at a low price That's why Tian Fanghua dared to be bold and sell steamed buns openly.
The officers and soldiers did not explain, but arrested everyone involved in the matter and questioned them individually by Cui Shize.
After being detained for a day, Tian Fanghua's original 80 percent confidence was less than 1 percent.
Cui Shize asked sharply, "Where did the white noodles from Baozipu come from?"
Tian Fanghua bit the bullet and said: "My eldest son-in-law gave it, but it was by no means stolen. He bought the rice noodles that were about to expire at a low price from the imperial court! But they can definitely be eaten, and there will never be a problem with eating them. Our family eat all the time."
The court gave the army moldy rice noodles last year, causing hundreds of soldiers to die overnight.
White Indus attaches great importance to food safety, and has formulated special standards for testing the shelf life of grains.
But this new batch of grain was purchased by Yu Suisheng from Syrians and grain merchants, so how could there be unqualified expired rice noodles.
It was determined that someone deliberately rated the white flour as the food to be destroyed, in order to make a profit.
Cui Shize also ordered Zhang Tong, Tian Fanghua's son-in-law to bring in Zhang Tong. When Zhang Tong saw Cui Shize, he knelt on the ground in awe, shouting grievances and performing, "Sir, what Caomin gave me was white noodles that were about to expire. I'll take a look at the warehouse!"
Cui Shi Ze suddenly lowered his eyes, "I haven't asked the question yet, how did you know that I was going to ask you Bai Mian'er?"
Zhang Tong was stunned, his palms sweating nervously. He stammered: "When I was arrested, I heard people say it on the road."
Cui Shi Ze immediately asked loudly: "Even if the white noodles are expired, what right do you have to sell the white noodles from the court to your mother-in-law?"
