Since it is necessary, how can Guo Dan ignore Shandong, he has always been stared at, and if there is any situation, he will immediately send a letter to him.

Weihui Mansion!

"Brother Guo, this is the data from Linqing Qianzhuang."

Guo Dan and Aunt Xu had just returned to Weihui Mansion, and Cao Xiaodong handed him a copy of the information.

Guo Dan took it, looked at it, and asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”

Cao Xiaodong said: "According to the news we have learned, the implementation of the new policy in Linqing is very smooth, and the local people are ready to pay taxes in our money village this year, and the local gentry are also difficult to stop. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said, "But this is cheaper for the Liu family." ”

Guo Dan sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Cao Xiaodong said: "In fact, when the Yinuo insurance was implemented, the Liu family had already helped us measure the land once, just because we had a confidentiality agreement, and they could not disclose the land information, and the Liu family took the same information and sold it to the imperial court again." ”

Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "This money should be earned by them, if they earn a little more, there will be no shortage of jobs for graduates of our Yinuo University in the future." ”

After Cao Xiaodong went down, Aunt Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth." ”

"It probably went even better than you thought." Guo smiled lightly.

Aunt Xu was surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "In this month, our Linqing Qianzhuang has deposited a full 300,000 taels more than usual, and has collected 100,000 taels of taxes. ”

Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It shows that there is a hidden deal here." ”

"What deal?"

"Whitewash!"

“.......？”

Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan with a puzzled expression.

Guo Dan said: "In the absence of any economic policy stimulus, the silver storage suddenly increased, then it is possible that the money is not coming from the right source." ”

Aunt Xu was slightly stunned and said, "You mean, this is all the dirty money of those officials?" ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "It should be like this, the time of this deposit is not much different from the time when Wang Xijue and Chen Younian went to Linqing, they finally realized that our Yinuo Money Village is actually a good place to launder money, it seems that I have to discuss with Your Majesty what kind of anti-corruption activities I have." ”

Aunt Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's really no business, and I immediately noticed the business opportunities in it, but this is not a transaction." ”

Guo Dan said: "I mean that the transaction is worth 100,000 taels of taxes, and now is not the time to pay taxes, and these taxes must not be paid by the people, they must also be paid by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the taxes must be paid with the land deed." ”

Aunt Xu suddenly realized and said, "In this way, the land that is illegally occupied can be seen." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "That's exactly why, our dynasty has always been preventing land annexation, resulting in a lot of land in the hands of nobles and officials. If I am not mistaken, Cao Ke should learn from his idols and make a deal with them, so that their land can be legalized as long as they pay taxes. ”

"Idols?"

Aunt Xu was slightly stunned.

"It's your husband!"

Guo smiled lightly: "When I contracted Weihui Mansion, seventy percent of the land in Xue Fang's hands was obtained by his son-in-law when he was the prefect of Weihui Mansion, and after his son-in-law was driven away, I didn't touch an inch of Xue Fang's land, and all of it was legal for him." ”

Aunt Xu asked, "Do you think this is a good thing?" ”

"Of course it's a good thing."

Guo smiled lightly: "Think about it, if the imperial court doesn't legalize them, those lands will never be able to pay taxes, but there is no way to get the land back and return it to the people, so why fight with money and legalize them in exchange for tax revenue." ”

He guessed correctly.

On the one hand, half of the agricultural tax was exempted, which conformed to the will of the people, and the people definitely supported it.

For the local gentry, magnates, and officials, Cao Ke's strategy is not to blame the past and pretend to be stupid.

Of course, Cao Ke and the others also knew that so much tax-free land was from an improper way nine times out of ten, and it was taken by those officials and nobles from the hands of the people.

Cao Ke discussed with Wang Xijue and Chen Younian in advance, don't worry about these things.

Wang Xijue and Chen Younian also knew in their hearts that they were just sitting there, drinking tea and chatting with Shandong officials all day long, so as to consolidate the friendship between their colleagues.

Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials are also quite smart, they gradually understand that Wang Xijue they actually dare not move, if you want to investigate corruption, then the whole country will be anti, because the Ming Dynasty has played until now, corruption has been a kind of normalization, and no inch of land is clean.

They thought that this tax would definitely not be able to escape, in this case, why not take the opportunity to legalize those illegally obtained land, this legal is permanent, but the new deal is not necessarily permanent, in case the new deal is difficult to deliver, it will also relieve themselves of a worry, after all, the officials hide so much land, this is also afraid, it is okay not to check, this investigation, but it is also fatal.

They assigned all the illegal land to their relatives, and then, almost in front of Wang Xijue and them, they used their official positions to grant new land deeds, and then went to Yinuo Qianzhuang to pay taxes.

Then as long as this tax is paid, all these illegal lands will be legalized.

It turned out that the other party really didn't care, and everyone knew it in their hearts at this time.

It's actually a transaction, we launder the money, and you take the merit.

Everyone was happy.

The key is also unmanageable, because Yinuo Qianzhuang only collects taxes according to the title deed, and has no power to investigate.

As a result, corrupt officials and corrupt officials suddenly discovered that today's emperor has three hobbies, drinking, picking up girls, and raiding his house.

It is very unsafe to put this money in your own home, as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, all the money was searched, why not get a fake household registration and save it in the bank, the reputation of Yinuo money is quite good.

In fact, there are many upright officials who found that Wang Xijue and Chen Younian were drinking tea every day in Linqing, and they turned a blind eye to those illegal lands, so they played the impeachment of Wang Xijue and Chen Younian.

When the official heard the news, he also played frantically, but they all died in the sea.

Wanli knows very well in his heart, but not only does he not blame those corrupt officials, but he hates these officials, if you all support me, can those corrupt officials have a good life? It is because you are against me at every turn, that the Senate can only trade with them in exchange for the continuation of the new policy.

And now there is no one in the court who cares about this matter anymore, because the court has been eaten up by Kaifeng Mansion.

At first, Guo Dan's speech spread to the court, causing an uproar, everyone impeached Guo Dan, and the Kaifeng Mansion changed its flavor first, and the newspapers and periodicals of the Kaifeng Mansion continued to spread to the capital, and the ministers were all scholars!

They also began to debate.

The Ming Dynasty already has this foundation, and the thinking has been diversified, the key is because there are too many branches of Confucianism, such as Li Sancai and Zhang Heming, they all support Gu Xiancheng and advocate practical learning, so they see the articles of Li Zhen and others.

it!

How can this be endured.

They also wrote articles in support of Gu Xiancheng.

Those scholars of the Hanlin Academy gave themselves a pen name, and then submitted their manuscripts to Kaifeng Mansion, and everyone had a lot of fun.

Now in the imperial city, everyone is talking about the era of the hundred schools of thought.

The key is that there is nothing to do in this court.

Wanli set up the Senate, and the court didn't even involve such a big matter as the New Deal, and Wanli didn't care about the impeachment, so it was better to put his feelings on the article.

Of course, they are also very good literati.

As the emperor, Wanli is also paying close attention to the situation in Kaifeng Mansion.

When he learned that there was an emperor-only faction in Kaifeng Mansion, he was so happy, there was really no shortage of smart people in this world, and he even ordered Jinyiwei to record those emperor-only factions.

It can be seen that he himself believes that he is the first emperor of the ages.

Since he is the first emperor of the ages, he naturally can't drink every day and be soaked by the girl, he has to do something that the first emperor of the ages should do.

The ministers were seriously misjudged.

Wanli didn't really want to give up the court, but first transferred his interests elsewhere, and then made drastic measures against these problems, otherwise, if he cut down this knife, he would hang up first.

After all, Fei Zhai is a student of Zhang Juzheng, and he is well versed in the way of the emperor, if he wants to make drastic moves, he must first strengthen the control of the army.

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the result of this Jinyi Guard's investigation of the major border armies."

After Dong Ping presented a piece of music, he said: "According to the results of this Jinyi Wei investigation, the Wei system has existed in name only, and the status of those soldiers is not even as good as that of ordinary people, most of them have become servants of border generals, and their household registration has also been taken by those border generals to eat empty salaries.

In the border army, the troops that can fight well are all recruited by the general soldiers, and they can get sufficient military salaries. ”

"Family soldiers?" Wanli snorted angrily: "The military salary of the imperial court helps them train their soldiers, but it really makes no sense. ”

Dong Ping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, and the border troops are still under Your Majesty's control. ”

"I know."

Wanli said: "But it can't go on like this, when they are full-fledged, I may not be able to call them." What's going on in Ningxia? ”

Dong Ping said: "After Guo Dan's restructuring, the Ningxia Army has become the most well-equipped army in the border army, with the least expenditure on military salaries and the highest morale. ”

Wanli asked, "Why is that?" ”

Dong Ping said truthfully: "This is all because the number of soldiers in Ningxia Army has strict control, the military salary is the least in the nine towns, and the distribution is very punctual, on the third day of the first month of each month, the soldiers go directly to the money village to get money, do not need to rely on the general army, and the income is higher than the ordinary people, and their children can study for free, and their families can give priority to employment, so there are many local people who want to be soldiers." However, with the exception of Ningxia, almost all border towns are still in arrears of military salaries. ”

Wanli groaned for a while and said, "What do you think of the current comparison between the Praetorian Guards in the capital and the border army?" ”

Dong Ping was embarrassed and silent.

Wanli didn't force him to say it, but picked up the song and looked at it, after a while, he stretched out his hand to the side, Li Gui immediately handed the pen, Wanli took the pen, and immediately spent a circle on the note, and then handed it to Li Gui, and said to Dong Ping: "You revealed the crimes of several general soldiers to those officials, remember, don't let them know, this is Jinyiwei's doing." ”

"Wechen obeys."
