The magistrates are not entitled to convict those who have made meritorious deeds.

Therefore, the county order really can't do anything to Qin Ming.

However, the county magistrate sneered: "This official can report to the higher academic administration, make fun of your talent status, and then punish you." ”

Qin Ming thought for a while: "That will take a lot of time, it's too troublesome, forget it, I still don't need the identity of Xiucai." ”

The county magistrate sneered: "What? It's as if you have another identity. ”

"Really!" Qin Ming said, and took out a jade pendant from his body.

"What identity? With this official, no matter what your identity is, it will not change the fact that you are going to be convicted. The prefectural order said.

It's just that when Qin Ming put the jade pendant on his table, the county order was stunned.

And then......

I saw Qin Ming sitting on the lobby, and the county order had already arrived below at this moment, kneeling in a formal manner.

Everyone present looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Only the master secretly glanced at the jade pendant in Qin Ming's hand, and after carefully identifying it, his face changed, and he hurriedly ran to the county order and knelt down.

The county commander's face was a little pale, and he asked the master in a low voice: "Can you see clearly......"

The master said: "See clearly, that kind of jade plate, only officials above the fourth rank can wear it......"

The county commander swallowed his saliva: "It's over, it's a great god......"

"The lower officials have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, may I ask your lordship, what is your official position?" The prefectural magistrate asked cautiously.

Qin Ming snorted coldly: "What kind of official is this official, I don't need to tell you, and this official is here this time to investigate one thing!" ”

Hearing this, the county commander swallowed nervously again, and on the other side, Zhou Yuanwai and his daughter were completely coerced.

What's going on? Didn't you show off your talent just now? Right now...... Became a big official?

At this moment, it seemed that their father and daughter's presence in this court was suddenly gone.

Even, now that these two are kneeling, they don't dare to speak, and they don't know what to do.

And outside, the Han couple who came because they were worried about Qin Ming were also shocked when they saw that Qin Ming had actually turned into a big official.

They didn't expect that Qin Ming would still be a big official.

And at the moment!

Qin Ming looked at the county order below and said, "Do you know the recent land reform? ”

"The lower official knows that the lower official has asked the household to actively do it these days." The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was originally sent from above to supervise their implementation of the land reform.

Fortunately, he didn't dare to slack off on this, because it was a death order from above, so he also put it in place.

Qin Ming nodded: "This point, in my eyes, is really good." ”

The prefectural magistrate smiled and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

But then, Qin Ming's face sank: "However, your tax problem is very serious!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the county order broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Ming had a cold face and said, "The tax decree of the Chu State stipulates that the national tax revenue, whether it is income or grain, is only paid to twenty-one.

But your Huahe County is very powerful, just that Zhoujia Village, one household collects four-tenths of the tax? Grain is still dead prescribed for one person and one stone? You county magistrate, you want to die? ”

The county magistrate was so frightened that he almost peed and said, "Big ...... My lord, the lower official...... The lower official is wronged, the lower official is ...... All...... It's all according to the above meaning, and the lower officials have to do it......"

Qin Ming snorted coldly: "You make it clear, who gave you what you mean?" ”

"Back to my lord's words, although this Huahe County is close to the imperial capital, it is no longer under the control of the imperial capital, but under the control of Tianfu. Therefore, the orders are all from the heavens......"

Qin Ming frowned, this Ying Tianfu, originally more than a hundred years ago, was the imperial capital of the Chu State.

Later, because it was not as good as the current imperial capital, and it was close anyway, the imperial court simply moved to Shuntianfu.

As the former imperial capital of Chu State, Yingtianfu is also the largest state capital except for Shuntianfu.

The prefect of Yingtianfu is also higher than the prefect of other places, and it is the same as Shuntianfu, which is the governor of the prefecture.

Qin Ming frowned and said, "So, this should be the Yin of Tianfu Mansion and privately increase taxes?" ”

"Yes, my lord, this Fu Yin has given an order to raise taxes, and we dare not disobey it." The prefectural order said.

Qin Ming said: "The unified taxation of the household department should be increased privately by Tianfu, this part is corruption, right?" You said that you don't dare to disobey the orders of your superiors, so you dare to help them embezzle, or even embezzle yourself? ”

The county order looked up: "My lord, this ...... Don't be greedy, no......"

Qin Ming looked strange: "Aren't you greedy yet?" Hehe, the official you said it was funny, but you said, why can't you be greedy? ”

The county magistrate said helplessly: "Lord Hui, the people above are greedy, if the lower officials are not greedy, then they want to clean up the lower officials, it can be said that it is easy to clean up."

Ordinary people also exert pressure on the size of their official positions, and if they are serious, they even threaten the families of officials, are they not greedy? Not only will they be excluded so much that they can't be officials, but they may also have to break up their wives.

This statement is not serious at all, because if we are not greedy below, we cannot be greedy above them, destroying their interests, and we have only one way to die! ”

Speaking of this, the county commander slammed his head to the ground: "My lord, this official ...... It's hard to do......"

Qin Ming was silent, a sentence that this official was difficult to do, leaving Qin Ming with nothing to say.

If you think about it, this county order is really good.

If there is a big official who is corrupt among these officials, then he will not allow him to have clean officials under him, because it will destroy his interests.

Just like in the original case of embezzlement of grain and silver for disaster relief, the political envoys of one province were corrupt, and the envoys of the inspectors, the commanders, the prefects of the prefectures below, and the county orders were all embezzled together, forming a huge system of interests, so that they were united, and no one would destroy their interests.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, this official paid 10,000 taels of silver in Zhoujia Village, what about this money?" ”

"Lord Hui, together with the taxes, it has been handed over to the state government household department! Your 10,000 taels of silver, your lower official...... Took five hundred taels ...... Give the little tax collector, two taels ......"

The county order was also honest, knowing that Qin Ming's status was very high and he was sent by the imperial court, so he didn't dare to be ambiguous.

Qin Ming said: "How much will they be greedy for this ten thousand taels?" ”

"Ying Tianfu will be all greedy...... Because this money, in fact, is not a tax. The prefectural order said.

Qin Ming snorted: "How much do you embezzle about the taxes you usually collect?" ”

The county commander swallowed his saliva: "The lower officials here, they are greedy for thirty-one, and when they arrive at Yingtianfu, they only hand it over according to the prescribed twenty-one." ”

Qin Ming took a deep breath and said, "So, they are greedy, several times more than they handed in?" ”

The county order didn't dare to squeak, and Qin Ming's anger was already self-evident.

I saw him slap on the table and shout angrily: "These people must be killed!" ”

The county commander knelt on the ground and was so frightened that his eyes were black and he almost fainted!
