You can't say whatever you say, you have to listen to the reason why the Jingzhao Mansion made the decision to rescue Princess Changle and ignore the fire in Dongshi, right?

His Majesty Li Er's appreciative look at the text of Cen, in the past, this guy always tried to provoke Li Ke, the king of Wu, to compete for the prince, and came up with a lot of ideas for conspiracy and trickery, but His Majesty Li Er did not treat him, but he did appreciate his talent and reluctantly endured it. Now King Wu is concentrating on studying business in the Ministry of Industry, and has transformed the idea of competing for the reserve into doing some practical things in a down-to-earth manner.

Liu Xun and the minister looked at Du Chuke together, wanting to hear how Jingzhao Mansion quibbled......

Du Chuke is a righteous person, and he is famous, but I don't know if he will be abducted by Fang Jun's wife when he is in Jingzhao Mansion now?

Du Chuke's face was calm, and he got up from the top of the mattress under the gaze of everyone, walked to the hall, and bowed to salute. Then he took out a copy of the fold and handed it to the inner servants in the palace, who presented it to His Majesty Li Er.

All the ministers were a little confused, and said in their hearts, "Do you still have a twist and turn?"

But I don't know who you want to impeach?

Du Chuke handed out the fold, stood up straight, and said loudly: "The fire in Dongshi burned down 27 shops, 19 people were slightly injured, none were seriously injured, and no ...... died."

Liu Xun frowned slightly.

With such a big fire, how can there be so few casualties? Doesn't that make sense......

How is the impact of an event reflected?

In addition to political incidents, civil affairs such as fires affect the severity of the impact depends on the number of dead and injured and the number of goods lost. Comparatively speaking, the loss of money is not the most important, even the lives of commoners and even domestic servants and slaves are much more important, even if it is only to appease the "ant people" in the dust, it must be so promoted......

The fire in Dongshi burned all night, and no one died, let alone seriously injured, so even if more goods were burned and more shops were burned, it would not be enough to raise it to a sufficient height.

No wonder Fang Jun turned a deaf ear to the fire, it turned out that the situation was much lighter than expected......

However, Du Chuke's words were not finished.

“…… The losses are incalculable. Why is the number of casualties so clear, but the loss of goods is incalculable? Du Chuke paused slightly, and continued: "This is not to say that the number of goods burned in the fire is too large to be liquidated, but that these goods are vague and inconsistent in the account books of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Many people's faces changed slightly.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the account book that Du Chuke had just presented in his hand, his expression was a little profound, and he asked, "Du Chuke, why is it that in this account book you submitted, there is only a record of one hundred and twenty horses of silk in the Linghu family's mansion?" ”

Just kidding, I saw the fire last night, and when the fire burned all night, you told me that only one hundred and twenty silks were burned in one of them?

The corners of Du Chuke's mouth were slightly raised, and he bowed his hand and said: "This is exactly the inconsistency of what the lower official said. ”

He straightened up, turned to Linghu Dedi, who had been silent, and asked, "May I ask Linghu Shangshu, there were several warehouses in your house that caught fire last night, how many goods were burned in the fire?" ”

Linghu Dedi was slightly silent and said: "It's like the number reported to the Urban Management Bureau, fortunately...... Not much. ”

After saying this, the corners of Hu Dedi's mouth twitched, and his heart was so distressed that he was about to drip blood......

Originally, the shops in the East Market were all tax-assessed, which was to roughly estimate the scale of business and come up with a number that was recognized by both the merchants and the government. Since Fang Jun reformed the tax system in Huating Town, Jiangnan, the tax rates of the eastern and western cities have been messed up.

The tax assessment still has to be assessed, but the goods from Jiangnan are recorded in the file, and they become part of the tax that must be paid according to the sales amount. The two-pronged approach, in which there is so much room for manoeuvre, has led to an increasingly chaotic tax system.

In order to avoid paying high commercial taxes, almost all shops in the eastern and western cities concealed the amount of trade, regardless of the amount of goods purchased or shipped.

Only now it's tragic......

You say there are tens of thousands of fine silks in the warehouse?

Yes, you can make up the tax money before you talk about anything else.

You said it was stored by someone else's house?

Yes, whose goods are they, you will list them one by one, and our Jingzhao Mansion will come to the door in person to ask for taxes.

Countless goods were burned by the fire, and they will face huge compensation, do they have to pay another amount of taxes?

It made Hu Dedi want to cry without tears......

The rest of the ministers all cast sympathetic glances at Ling Hu Dedi, and they empathized with him. After all, it was not only the Linghu family that suffered losses in this fire, although the rest of the families may not have suffered as huge losses as Linghu Dedi, but they are definitely uncomfortable.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Linghu Dedi, and his heart was disgusted.

This person has some knowledge, but he is narrow-minded and short-sighted, which is really useless. In addition to the reputation of a Shilin leader, there is only the qualifications that have been boiled out, and the love of money is like life, and the baht must be compared, which is really not the same!

How did you put this person up and serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who urged and taught the world the rites and religions?

Liu Xun was a little embarrassed, these circumstances were not grasped by him, but now it was difficult to ride a tiger, as long as he said: "Please also ask Mr. Du to explain the reason why Jingzhao Mansion allowed the fire in Dongshi, is it possible that it was because the shop concealed the goods and did not report it truthfully, so he ignored the fire and let the fire burn it?" ”

Du Chuke glanced at Liu Xun lightly, and said calmly: "Before the words are finished, Liu Yushi just wants to be impeached, can you wait for a while?" ”

Don't be too ugly with a roaring look......

Liu Xun's old face turned red and he kept silent.

Although Du Chuke's words were light, it was this disdainful contempt that made Liu Xun's actions more and more utilitarian.

No one sympathized with him......

This person first turned his back on the camp of the family's gate valve to shout at Fang Jun in order to brush up his prestige, and now that he has the prestige, he turned over and knocked on Fang Jun's stuffy stick again? This person is excellent, but his character is worried.

The family gate valve can accept Liu Xun for his own use, but acceptance is one thing, and approval is another......

Du Chuke said eloquently: "After the autumn in September last year, the weather was dry and dry, and Jingzhao Mansion sent a notice to the merchants and shops in the east and west cities, strictly ordering them to maintain and renovate the heating facilities in the house when the weather was not cold, so as to avoid fires during winter heating; In October, Jingzhao Prefecture once again issued a document to re-examine the matter, but not a single household in the entire eastern and western cities paid attention to it, and the fire hazard still existed; For two consecutive months in Dongyue and Layue, Jingzhao Prefecture dispatched the Urban Management Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation of the merchants and shops in the eastern and western cities, and applied for and punished some merchants and shops that were found to be seriously fire hazards. Jingzhao Mansion has repeatedly ordered it to pay attention to fire hazards, but until this moment, who has responded? ”

Ling Hu Dedi and the others were slightly stunned, and thought about it carefully, this was indeed the case.

However, since the day of its establishment, the urban management department has been known for its strict management, but if the merchants and shops in the city are careless, they will be approached by it, and they will first be ordered to suspend business for rectification, and then fined......

Over time, everyone complained deeply about this urban management office, knowing that this was a tool made by Fang Jun to collect money, but he relied on various projects to take advantage of the opportunity to fine. It's just that Fang Jun is gaining power, who can afford to provoke him? I had to spend a small amount of money to avoid a catastrophe.

Now it seems that there is a lot of strange in this!

In the end, it was the urban management bureau that had the foresight to repeatedly reiterate the hidden dangers and the merchants ignored them, which buried the fire hazards and led to today's losses; Or has Jingzhao Mansion been in a long-term layout from the beginning, waiting for the fire to burn out, and use facts to gag everyone's mouths?

I told you to prevent fire a long time ago, but you don't listen to yourself, who will complain?

If you think about it a little deeper, this fire came so suddenly, burned so vigorously, and the performance of Jingzhao Mansion in the fire......

It's scary to think about!

Linghu Dedi's old eyes widened!

Could it be ......

What else is behind this fire?

That Fang Jun was really so bold, risking burning the entire East Market in order to save himself, so that the family gate valve had to let him get out and return to Jing Zhaoyin's position to put out the fire?

If this is the case, Ling Hu Dedi can also understand. Such conspiracies and tricks have emerged in an endless stream throughout the ages, and it is not a big deal that he and the family gate valve have not noticed Fang Jun's trap for a while.

But the problem is that Fang Jun himself set a fire to exert pressure, causing the family gate lord to agree to his official reinstatement, and then let the fire burn countless goods......

That's too bad, isn't it?
