Three days later, in the hall of the Kaifeng Mansion, Li Zhongyi and his predecessor Zhang Fujun carried out a handover with many procedures and officially took office.

"Wait for the lower officials, meet the prince!" The officials of the entire Kaifeng Mansion, under the leadership of the judge Liu Jinshan, gave Li Zhongyi a courtesy.

Li Zhongyi sat in the middle of the lobby, and after the wide bookcase, he calmly accepted the worship of his subordinates.

If the name is not right, it is not good, Li Zhongyi has officially taken office, and if he grabs a chicken feather, he can be regarded as an arrow, and accepting the visit of his subordinates is the proper meaning of the question.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this government is entrusted by His Majesty, and I feel a deep sense of responsibility, and I hope that all of you will greatly assist you to jointly maintain the tranquility and prosperity of Gyeonggi." Li Zhongyi saw that everyone was looking at him, but suddenly his words changed, "Everyone is responsible for fire prevention and thief prevention, but Hu Cao, who is dignified and dignified, was burned by his own people." Can you imagine the weight of fire prevention responsibility? ”

Liu Jinshan was greeted by Li Zhongyi early, so he was naturally confident, but among the officials in the hall, most of the bureaucrats thought that Li Zhongyi wanted to take advantage of the burning of the Caojia Pavilion and deliberately launched the rectification of the officials.

To put it bluntly, it is a son of heaven and a courtier, and those who do not support Li Zhongyi must consider his career prospects.

Just when everyone thought that Li Zhongyi was about to make a tirade, Li Zhongyi stopped talking and said lightly: "The matter of preventing fire is focused on implementation, so this government thinks that it is right that all monarchs should assume their respective responsibilities." With that, he flicked his sleeves and got up lightly. Leave the lobby.

After Li Zhongyi left, Liu Jinshan stayed in the lobby. Secretly observed, although everyone did not dare to whisper. But they also looked at each other, and they made eye contact with each other with the dazed hearts in their hearts.

Liu Jinshan knew very well in his heart that the colleagues in the hall had not returned home for more than five days, and there was no unfavorable news from the imperial court or the political affairs hall.

It can be seen from this that Li Zhongyi's arbitrariness has obviously won the tacit approval of His Majesty and Xianggong.

In the first round of the battle of Liwei, Li Zhongyi won without doubt. The mentality of the officials in the government will naturally change.

Liu Jinshan felt that Li Zhongyi's sudden imprisonment of the big and small officials in the government was simply a stroke of genius, which greatly disrupted some people's layout expectations.

The cabinet of the Hucao Pavilion was burned to the ground, unless there was a detailed bottom file on the side of the Yamen of the Third Division, otherwise, there were many vouchers for collecting taxes. It's all completely submerged.

If there is no tax revenue, hehe, how can you feed so many bureaucrats up and down?

Li Zhongyi borrowed the topic to play. The reason for finding it is above board, and people have nothing to say.

Even the ministers in the political hall have been pretending to be deaf and dumb. did not issue an edict to reprimand Li Zhongyi's misdeeds.

The answer is actually quite simple. Li Zhongyi is just a little more violent, but he firmly occupies the big truth. So that the bigwigs in the political hall have no idea where to start.

"Liu Juan, when can we go home?" The official He Chongjiang hesitated, but finally did not hold back the hidden worries in his heart, and took the initiative to inquire about Liu Jinshan's tone.

Liu Jinshan knew everything in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to be confused, he sighed and said: "Alas, there is still a sixty-year-old mother in my family, and I don't know her old man, is she okay now?" ”

Just when Liu Jinshan and He Chongjiang were playing Tai Chi pushing, Li Zhongyi had already changed into civilian clothes, and led Wang Xiaotong, a reckless man, to quietly go to the street from the back door of the government and micro-clothes.

Hu Cao's file was burned out, Li Zhongyi was actually not in a hurry at all, he had already inquired with Liu Jinshan clearly, the land tax of the entire Kaifeng Mansion was the highest last year, and it was only more than 200,000 yuan.

In the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, there are nineteen counties under its jurisdiction, and all the registered males do not exceed 300,000 in total. Among them, Junyi and Kaifeng counties are attached counties.

Fukuo County, similar to the meaning of municipal districts after the establishment of the Red Dynasty, such as Chaoyang District of Beijing. The two county offices are located in the prefecture and are divided into county councils, which are responsible for the government affairs and public security of their respective jurisdictions.

In fact, since Li Zhongyi set up the commodity wholesale market in Xiaoyaojin, the proportion of taxes generated on the land in the total tax revenue of Kaifeng Province has been less than 30%.

Today's business tax rate is only 5%, also known as the 20 tax one, which can be described as unusually low.

However, the tenant farmer's rent, even in good weather, was at least one-third more. The so-called ten taxes and one stipulated by the imperial court are simply a dead letter, and they are nothing in vain.

In a certain sense, this upside-down tax system for merchants and peasants obviously increased the burden on the peasants, but it made the merchants reap great benefits.

To put it mildly, this is a tax on the poor, subsidizing the bureaucrats and the rich!

The unfairness of society, from the first distribution (taxation), has planted an extremely strict institutional bane!

The two Song dynasties in history, if they had not relied on prosperous overseas trade to support their financial operations, they would have been drowned in the sea of peasant uprisings.

For the economic development of Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Zhongyi has already made a calculation, and only waits for the time to be ripe, and then slowly implements it.

After coming out of the palace, Li Zhongyi led Wang Xiaotong and sat in the carriage.

Just when Wang Xiaotong was confused, Li Zhongyi asked him with a smile: "Wang Fangyu, do you know where in the city it is most difficult to prevent fires?" ”

Wang Xiaotong touched the back of his head, thought about it carefully, and replied in a low voice: "Back to Li Duanming's words, in the vicinity of Sangjiawazi and Gulou Street, once there is a fire, it is likely to be out of control. ”

"Why?" Li Zhongyi looked at Wang Xiaotong who was sincerely frightened.

"There are West Lake and Jinshui River in the west of the city to get water, and there are many places to take water in the south of the city, but the Sangjia Wazi and Gulou Street in the east of the city are all connected into a piece, there are many wine shops, and it is not easy to get water. Once the fire is about to start, if there is a strong wind blowing again, the consequences ...... "Wang Xiaotong, the commander of the defense army, is obviously not in vain, he knows the fire situation in Kaifeng Mansion well.

"Well, then go to Sangjia Wazi first!" Li Zhongyi did not hesitate to instruct the coachman to rush directly to the Sangjia Wazi, which was most likely to cause a serious fire.

Wang Xiaotong was a little strange in his heart, when other princes took office, the first thing he did was to check the treasury and count the money and grain.

Li Zhongyi, a young and unspeakable prince, did not care about these "national plans" at all, but on the first day of his official appointment, he paid close attention to the fire prevention of private houses. (To be continued......)
