The household department successfully collected a large amount of tax and silver from the merchants in the inner city, and the problem encountered by Lin Haoran was naturally solved, and the outside world also turned from schadenfreude to amazement.

"I thought that Lin Ruoyu couldn't make money, who would have thought ......"

"When it comes to intelligence, there are really few people in the Ming Dynasty who can compare with it!"

"This Chongwenmen tax is simply a stroke of genius, it is really three steps and one calculation, Lin Ruoyu!"

……

The news spread from the Ming officialdom to the ears of the scholars and people in the capital, and after seeing Lin Haoran's various actions this time, he seemed to have a new understanding of Lin Haoran, and the name of "three steps and one calculation" was already famous in the capital.

In fact, the shock in the hearts of ordinary people is not great, but it is the knowledgeable officials or scholars who can more deeply appreciate Lin Haoran's strategy and wisdom when the crisis comes.

It was obviously a serious crisis, but under Lin Haoran's clever use, the stubborn problem of Chongwenmen's taxation was solved. Not only did they save the day in this crisis, but they also achieved a small political achievement.

is also the case, everyone has chosen a tacit attitude towards Lin Haoran's new label of "three steps and one calculation".

But in the midst of this turmoil, there is another person who has become famous.

"The god of Haimen is really worthy of his name!"

"So far, please be stunned and can't be accommodated by one person!"

"I'm afraid you don't know how many people went to the Haimen God's house to send money or intimidate, and all of them ended up being closed!"

……

There are a lot of "idlers" in the capital, and the people in the capital generally have a stronger reconnaissance, so many things can always be reported as soon as possible and become everyone's after-dinner conversation.

Although during his tenure as the magistrate of Chun'an, Hai Rui has won the name of "Hai Qingtian" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the people of the capital have their innate arrogance.

Even if Lin Haoran returned to the capital as a strong man of "Lin Leigong", many people did not know the name of "Lin Leigong", let alone what happened during Lin Haoran's reign in Leizhou and Guangzhou.

Hai Rui is naturally the same, and many people in the capital only regard Hai Rui as an ordinary household head. Only this time, they had to look at Hai Rui with admiration, and Hai Rui showed them the side of "poor and lowly can not be moved, and mighty cannot be bent".

After the people of the capital saw Hai Rui's upright and honest side, the deeds of the former "Hai Bi Frame" and "Hai Qingtian" quickly spread in the capital, and the god of Haimen also became "Hai Qingtian".

In particular, when many scholars and ordinary people learned that Hai Rui only rented a cheap dilapidated house in the outer city to live, they were even more impressed by this incorruptible official.

"The old mother, wife and children don't come to Beijing, what can I do? No money! ”

"If there are officials in the Ming Dynasty like this, why is the court here!"

"There is Lin Lei Gong above, and there is Hai Qingtian below, this is the luck of the Ming Dynasty!"

……

When Chongwenmen imposed taxes strongly, Hai Rui naturally became a celebrity, but he was praised by many people in the capital, and it also let the people of the capital know that there was such an honest official in the Ming Dynasty. Keep your books in stock

The weather in June was hot and muggy, and the Yamen of the Household Department was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The household department has become the focus of the capital, not only Hai Rui sat in Chongwenmen to collect commercial taxes, but also many household officials and officials also went out, and a sum of tax money was sent back to Taicang.

Although they worked hard, they helped the household department through the financial crisis and opened up a new financial route, and they also felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

Although Lin Haoran had planned all this, it was not until now that he saw that 100,000 taels was about to be raised, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was drinking tea slowly.

"Senior brother, you are looking for Hai Qingtian to collect taxes in Chongwenmen this time, you really found the right person!" Yang Futian sat opposite Lin Haoran and gave a thumbs up to Lin Haoran and said:

"Although our fellow has a strange temper, when it comes to official ethics, neither of us can compare!" Lin Haoran saw that Hai Rui was so powerful, and he was also complacent.

Although there is no problem with the countermeasures he formulated, whether they can be successfully implemented also depends on the character and ability of the executor.

If the executor is a greedy official, it is easy to be attacked by money; If the executor is an official who loves power, it is likely that he will let him go for fear of offending the bigwigs.

Fortunately, Hai Rui did not touch these two aspects, and he was stunned to become the "God of Haimen", sitting on the iron surface of Chongwenmen to selflessly collect commercial taxes on goods to and fro, and directly plugging the leak of tax evasion.

"Indeed, Hai Jui can be said to have set an example for our Ming officials, but it's a pity that he ......." Yang Futian nodded in approval, but shook his head lightly.

Lin Haoran picked up the steaming teacup, looked up suspiciously and asked, "What is a pity?" ”

"Hai Rui is just from a human background, if he is a jinshi, it would be good!" Yang Futian sighed softly, looked up at Lin Haoran and said regretfully.

In the current political ecology of the Ming Dynasty, it is already a ceiling for people to be the heads of the six ministries. If Hai Rui wants to go further, it is already difficult, let alone in a heavy position.

Although Hai Jui performed well this time, due to his background, there is little possibility of being entrusted with important responsibilities in the future.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, but said half-jokingly: "I think it's a good thing that it's not a jinshi!" If he really won the Jinshi back then, do you think we want to ...... What about suppressing him? ”

"Hit him? Why is that? Yang Futian looked dazed for a while, but when he saw the cunning on Lin Haoran's face, he immediately reacted and smiled: "Hehe...... If he won the Jinshi, then he would have worshiped under the old Xu Ge sect back then, and we really have to draw a line with him! ”

It can be said that the last examination that Hai Rui participated in was the examination presided over by Xu Jie, in the 32nd year of Jiajing. Hai Rui was not selected by Xu Jie, and he immediately chose to report to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and directly entered the Ming officialdom as a lifter.

Lin Haoran put down the teacup gently, put away the joke, and said seriously: "Maybe Hai Rui didn't get into the Jinshi back then, which was the best result." It is precisely because he is born in a person that he does not have as much power desire as other non-commissioned officers, and he can wholeheartedly work for the well-being of the people! ”

"If there is a chance, I hope that Senior Brother can help him in the future, and Hai Rui should be a model figure for our Ming officials!" Yang Futian earnestly made a request.

While the two were talking, He Song, the secretary of the Household Department who was wearing a nine-grade official uniform, broke in, but said in a crying voice: "Lord Zhengtang, it's not good!" ”

Lin Haoran couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and Yang Futian asked anxiously: "He Song, didn't you assist the sea lord in collecting taxes in Chongwenmen?" What's going on? ”

"The eunuchs of the Internal Supervision Department forcibly wanted to bring goods into the city, and the chief demanded that they pay taxes, but somehow they ...... The two sides fought! He Song immediately said the general story of the matter.

Yang Futian learned that Hai Rui had a conflict with the eunuch of the Internal Supervision Department, but he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Haoran in horror.

Chongwenmen was able to impose taxes strongly, mainly by cleverly borrowing the authority of the emperor. It's just that Hai Rui's excessive toughness has done a bad thing, and the Internal Supervision Department is responsible for the procurement in the palace, so it should not have to pay taxes to the tax customs.

However, Hai Rui not only did not let the Internal Supervision Department pass through Chongwenmen, but also brought the tax officer to conflict with the Internal Supervision Department, and the matter immediately became tricky.
