Gongxue, in a short period of time, Chen Xiao can't go, some of the things he can teach, roughly taught, some things, he can't remember in a short time, he feels that there is nothing to teach, so he told the emperor that he won't go to Gongxue.

The emperor did not embarrass him either.

Anyway, Chen Xiao was given a new task.

After Chen Xiao left the palace, he went to the household department.

Originally, Hubu Shangshu at least didn't deal with Chen Xiao, and because Chen Xiao wanted to receive the envoy's silver, he fell out directly with Hubu Shangshu.

This time, the emperor asked him to rectify a few corrupt officials in the household department to set an example, so he was quite happy.

After all, the ledgers that he copied last time had already recorded a lot of corruption among household officials.

Now, combined with the original evidence, it is really easy to clean up a few household officials.

Therefore, Chen Xiao investigated a little more evidence of corruption, not to mention getting a few officials of the household department, even if he got the household department book, it was not difficult.

Therefore, after returning to the household department, Chen Xiao began to look at some account books.

The household department is also a thief, probably because he is worried that Chen Xiao will read some accounts, and he has put away many account books of the household department, and Chen Xiao has no right to read them.

However, he can read the accounts of the Ministry of Gold!

After asking the little official to bring the account books of the Ministry of Finance, Chen Xiaozai carefully read them, and these accounts are basically commercial tax, salt tax, iron tax, tea tax, and incense tax......

These taxes are varied, and Chen Xiao looks quite a headache.

On the one hand, there are detailed accounts of these taxes, and on the other hand, Chen Xiao looks at the accounts of the tax money collected.

Comparing the two sides, it is difficult to find out what is wrong.

However, when Chen Xiao saw the latest salt tax account records, he found that something was wrong.

Because he saw the taxes paid by his family's salt business.

Chen Xiao gave the name of his family's salt industry, which is the most ruthless salt industry.

Because in the past half a month, the salt industry has received hundreds of taels of silver every day, so the tax is also dozens of taels of silver a day.

After half a month, the tax payment was about 500 taels of silver.

But Chen Xiao looked at the account book, and the tax payment account of the most ruthless restaurant was actually written as three taels of silver a day.

For such a long time, the most ruthless salt industry only paid a tax of fifty taels of silver.

This is obviously not true!

How much tax does his salt industry pay, can he not know?

"Sure enough, there is a problem, and there is a problem in the bookkeeping. He paid a tax of five hundred taels, recorded fifty taels, and recorded the tax and silver...... It's also fifty taels, no wonder I read it for a long time, and these two accounts are right! ”

Chen Xiao's face was ugly, and he was very angry in his heart.

Is this Nima embezzled to him?

His salt industry is very profitable, according to the regulations of the Dragon Kingdom, he pays ten points in taxes, ten percent, and five hundred taels in half a month.

This money, which is given to the imperial court, should be paid as a tax.

But, Lao Tzu handed it over, are you greedy for Lao Tzu?

Can this Chen Xiao endure it?

If you are greedy, forget it, if you are greedy for him, isn't this a slap in the face?

What's more, he himself is the head of the Ministry of Household Finance, and he is also one of the officials in charge of taxation.

Take care of this yourself, girl, others are still in his field, and they are greedy for him?

Chen was so angry that he almost tore up the ledger.

I saw him slap the table hard and shout: "Someone! ”

When the words fell, several officials came in, all looking at him nervously.

Chen Xiao said: "Who collected this salt tax? ”

"Back to the Lord in charge, it was received by Lang Zhong and Lang Lang of our Golden Division!" The little official spoke.

Chen Xiao snorted: "They don't know, this is the most ruthless salt industry, is it Lao Tzu?" ”

"This ......" the little official shook his head: "We ...... I don't know ......"

Chen Xiao took the account book and left the main hall directly and went to the hall of the Ministry of Gold.

In the hall of the Ministry of Gold.

The two chief officials, Jin Bu Shilang and Yuan Wai Lang, are called a pleasant, drinking tea, and there are small officials playing fans next to them, and there are watermelons and other fruits, not to mention how comfortable.

Chen Xiao came in and saw this scene, and he became even more angry.

These two fuck off, greedy for tax money, and still so comfortable, how can Chen Xiao endure it?

So he took a few steps up and lifted the table with teacups and fruits in front of the two of them.

There was a bang, which frightened the two of them and immediately opened their eyes, and they saw the angry Chen Xiao.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Bu Shiro shouted angrily: "Director Chen, what are you doing?" ”

"That's it, what's the nerve? Surprise us! Wailang also spoke.

Chen Xiao snorted coldly, threw the two account books in his hand on the other table, and said:

"Two, explain to me why this salt tax is wrong!"

Jin Bu Shiro was in his fifties, he took the account book and looked at it, and said to Chen Xiao:

"What's wrong? The tax details and taxes are correct, what is the problem? ”

Chen Xiao sneered and said, "Really? This is the most ruthless salt industry, are you sure, it only took half a month to collect fifty taels? ”

"What's the problem? These salt buyers have a revenue of 500 taels in half a month, which is very powerful, and it is already a relatively high tax in many salt industries.

And you, actually said that it only took half a month to collect fifty taels? You really don't know anything! Lang Zhong said coldly, and after finishing speaking, he was still displeased.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Really? You think, I don't know anything? ”

"Of course, you can go and inquire, there are countless salt merchants in the imperial capital, but how many of them have a revenue of five hundred taels in half a month and a tax of fifty taels? Are you too little? Wailang also spoke, and said to Chen Xiao mockingly.

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Before you collected taxes, did you inquire about who this salt industry is?" ”

"Why ask? There are so many salt industries in the imperial capital, do you have to inquire? As long as it's regular, as long as it's tax-paid, what's the problem? Shiro Kanabe asked.

Chen Xiao said: "It means, you don't know, who is the most ruthless salt industry? ”

Yuan Wailang snorted and said, "Of course I don't know, it's just a salt industry...... Wait a minute...... The most ruthless salt industry? The most ruthless? ”

"I have one of the most ruthless restaurants!" Chen Xiao said lightly.

At this moment, Wai Lang and Lang Zhong looked at each other suddenly, and then looked at Chen Xiao together.

"You...... The most ruthless salt industry is yours? ”

Chen Xiao looked at the two of them coldly and said, "That's right, it's mine!" So, you two, are you going to fool me like a fool? ”

Both Lang and Lang Zhong were a little embarrassed, and then Lang Zhong spoke: "Misunderstanding, there is a misunderstanding here!" ”

"Misunderstanding?" Chen Xiao sneered and said, "There can be a misunderstanding about corruption? ”

"Director Chen, don't say it so ugly, what is corrupt or not, it must be a mistake in the account!" Outsider spoke.

Chen Xiao said: "Is that that wrongly written on these account books, other taxes?" ”

"Master Chen, what do you mean?" Lang Zhong frowned, and his face was not good-looking.

Chen Xiao looked at Lang Zhong and said: "I said, I suspect that you are embezzling more than my salt tax, so next, I will ask the salt merchants on the account book how much money they have paid one by one, if it does not match the account book, you two, just wait for death!" ”

Lang Zhong and Lang Wai Lang's faces were extremely gloomy, and then Lang Zhong spoke: "The same government is an official, why bother? You say, don't you? ”

Chen Xiao sneered: "You have all embezzled me, so you are embarrassed to say it...... The same government as an official? ”

"Do you have to? Don't forget, the two of us are your bosses! The clerk spoke.

Chen Xiao snorted and said, "The boss? You see if I can't get it done, you're done! ”
