The special issue is not long, so Chen Lifu quickly browsed it in a hurry, and then pondered!

This Anping victory had a great impact, and it was definitely the biggest in the battle for hegemony between the Tang Army and the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, because the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in the Anping War were already the last main force of the Ming army in the northern provinces.

After defeating this Ming army, the northern provinces were already completely unable to stop the Tang army's troops, Shandong, must have been taken, and the follow-up Northern Zhili and even the puppet Ming Jing Division were all captured.

Henan is not a big problem, the second army is now fighting in Henan, although it has also been resisted by some of the Ming army, but Emperor Zhengde has gathered all the main forces to meet in Shandong before, and there are not many main forces of the Ming army in Henan, more of them are local guards, and the guards are absolutely unable to resist the advance of the Tang army.

Then come over Shanxi, if it is Shanxi in the past, because there is a large and important town, the army here is abundant, but now the troops in the northern border towns have already been drawn out by the Ming Dynasty, in the past few years, more than 100,000 people have been similarly transferred, and they are all the elite of the border army, and the rest is only tens of thousands of old and young and weak, which is also impossible to stop the pace of the Tang army's advancement.

The only thing that has some trouble is the Tatars, Chen Lifu doesn't believe that the Tatars have been annihilated more than half, and it is certain that the Tatars have been severely damaged, otherwise the Tatars will not take the initiative to escape, but the specific results are debatable, besides, the Tatars are more than tens of thousands of cavalry, they are all soldiers, and they are young and strong people who can pull out to fight on horseback, and they dare not say more, but there is no problem at all in pulling out more than 100,000 cavalry.

In Shaanxi, Gansu and other places to the west, there are also some Ming troops in the local area, but in the same sentence, they are not the main force of the Ming army, they are all local guards.

Looking at the world, except for Zhang Zhangyue's headquarters in Huguang, Sichuan, and Yunnan, although there are still many Ming troops in other places, there is no one who can really block the advance of the Tang army.

In this way, except for Huguang, Sichuan, and Yunnan, other places may fall under the control of the Tang Dynasty in the near future, and the newly occupied areas will also be the most difficult and complicated tax work.

At that time, I am afraid that the task of the grain collection department will be very heavy, and as the tax inspector of the inspection department under the grain collection department, he Chen Lifu may have to go into battle again.

Although there are a lot of tax inspectors in the inspection department, there are always dozens of people, but these people are distributed to so many vast places, it is far from enough, not to mention, many of them are still lower grade than Chen Lifu's inspections, and it is difficult to take on important tasks.

Chen Lifu's guess is not wrong, after the Ministry of Taxation learned of the victory in Anping, it immediately began to organize the tax work of several northern provinces in advance, especially in Shandong, Henan and Beizhili, each state capital needs a tax official of no low grade, and then it is necessary to establish a tax inspection team in the local area, improve the tax system, and carry out tax work as soon as possible.

This task is not easy!

Fortunately, in the past many years, the Ministry of Taxation has accumulated perfect relevant experience, and in a few days, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Officials, the main tax officials in Shandong have been selected, and even the relevant tax officials have been booked in advance for Beizhili.

On the side of the Ministry of Officials, the relevant officials of the northern provinces were also prepared early, and even the prefect of Youzhou Mansion, which is a special location, was prepared.

As for the appointment of local officials such as the governor of Shandong and the governor of Beizhili, the officials naturally cannot interfere, and that is Li Xuan's power.

In this wave of large-scale selection of officials to serve in the north, many people have been promoted as they wish!

Because the ruling area is larger, there are more official positions, after all, there is a pit for a turnip, and if there are more radishes, there will naturally be more pits, and in this case, there are many promotion channels for officials.

Even if it is not transferred to the north to take up posts, but the officials from the southern provinces or the central government have been transferred to the north to take up posts, and there are a lot of vacant positions!

In this wave of promotion, Chen Lifu is no exception, he was promoted to the deputy director of the inspection department of the grain collection department of the Ministry of Taxation a few days later, with the rank of five.

The deputy director of the inspection department, except for a deputy director who is responsible for the internal affairs of the inspection department, in fact, the rest of them all hang the title of deputy director, and then go to other places to inspect taxation, so this position also has no fixed number of personnel and a fixed place to serve.

After being promoted to deputy director of the inspection department, Chen Lifu immediately received a dispatch to the newly established Jiangbei Province to supervise local taxation, including Yangzhou, Huai'an, and Xuzhou.

Jiangbei Province, this is a jurisdiction that was only established this year, because the scope of Nanzhili is vast, but for the sake of maintaining the authority of the central government, Li Xuan did not say that Nanzhili would be directly divided, but continued to use the original jurisdiction, and continued to directly govern the state capitals of Nanzhili with the central government.

But later it was found that such a management model was a bit troublesome, and the provincial level was missing in the middle, which was not appropriate, but Li Xuan did not want to set up a province in Nanzhili, so he set up a level of Dao between the province and the government, and governed several state capitals respectively to assist the central government in managing Nanzhili.

The Taoist is the third rank, one level greater than the prefect and two levels lower than the governor, and at present, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there are only four Taoists, all of whom are in Nanzhili, including Jiangbei Province, including Yangzhou Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, and Xuzhou Mansion; North Anhui Province, with jurisdiction over Fengyang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Hezhou Prefecture and Chuzhou; Jiangnan Province, Zhenjiang Province, Changzhou Province, Suzhou Province, Songjiang Province, South Anhui Province, Taiping Province, Ningguo Mansion, Dezhou, Huizhou Mansion, Chizhou Mansion.

And Chengtianfu (Jinling) is still directly under the central government.

The establishment of provinces instead of provinces was the purpose of Li Xuan to strengthen the central government's control over Nanzhili, and also to govern the state capitals.

In other provinces, the level of Dao is not established for the time being.

Jiangbei Road is the place where Chen Lifu is about to go to his post to inspect the tax!

After receiving the task, Chen Lifu did not delay, and the next day he took the three tax inspectors and his entourage assigned to him to the south on an official ship, and then went to Yangzhou.

On the way, he analyzed the information given by the above in detail, and then found that this time the task was very heavy, and this time the task was different from the past, the focus was not on agricultural tax, but on commercial tax.

In the three provinces of Jiangbei Province, aside from Xuzhou, whether it is Yangzhou or Huai'an, they all rely on the canal and the salt industry to live, and even more seriously, they all rely on the salt industry to live.

Especially now, with the fiasco of the puppet Ming, the water transportation in the canal has almost been cut off, and only ordinary commercial contacts remain, so the importance of the salt industry is even more apparent.

However, the Tang Dynasty implemented official management of the salt industry, from mining to transportation to wholesale, it was all officially organized, and private interference was not allowed.

Although the salt industry in Yangzhou in Huai'an still produces a steady stream of salt, the official channels are monopolized by the Datang Salt Company, and the local salt merchants are miserable.

However, Datang's government-run policy on the salt industry is a national policy that has been determined a long time ago, and it is impossible for salt merchants to change it.

But the salt merchants are not willing to sit still, so the sale of illicit salt is very rampant in Gangbuk Province today!

The issue of private salt, this is not Chen Lifu's business, it is the business of other departments in Datang, but these salt merchants sell illegal salt, which leads to the salt tax far from meeting expectations, which has something to do with Chen Lifu.

In other words, the salt merchants sell illicit salt, and Chen Lifu doesn't care, but if you sell illicit salt and don't pay taxes, then Chen Lifu will have to take care of it!

However, the issue of private salt is not the business of their tax department, and they have to find the Salt and Tea Department of the Ministry of Commerce, which is in charge of salt, tea and other special commodities, and the patrol police department to deal with it together.

Before Chen Lifu, the Ministry of Taxation had already sent two batches of tax inspectors to the Jiangbei provinces, but the effect was not great.

For this reason, Chen Lifu will be sent to Jiangbei!

Chen Lifu's previous work in several state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River was quite outstanding, and the senior officials of the Ministry of Taxation just hoped that Chen Lifu could open up the situation in Jiangbei, or that sentence, the Ministry of Taxation does not care if you sell illegal salt, but without the salt tax, it is not good!

Chen Lifu pondered that he would first go to Yangzhou to find out about the situation with the local tax department and the tax inspectors sent to Yangzhou, and then go to Huai'an to visit the Taoist officials of Jiangbei Province and other local officials.

This tax problem does not mean that you can just kill a group of people directly, you have to find the right context, and you have to kill the right person to be effective!

In this regard, Chen Lifu, who has presided over the tax inspection work in Chizhou, Dezhou, Songjiang and other places, also has experience in this.

However, before killing people, there must be a premise, that is, the local tax system must be rectified first, and those ruffians and hooligans and other scum who mixed into the tax system during the chaos last year must be cleaned up.

When Chen Lifu went to Jiangbei Province with a heavy responsibility, in Anping Town, Shandong, Li Xuan continued to preside over the actions of the army!

Today's army going north has been divided into many routes, all the way east to Jinan, Qingzhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou and other places, all the way west to the Daimyo Mansion and the eastern state capital of Henan, in order to cooperate with the Second Army.

There is also a road, which is also the main force of the Third Army, which is to quickly advance to the north, chasing the rout of the Ming army all the way to the north Zhili, and its front is now Hejian Mansion, not far from Youzhou.

When the Tang army was attacking the city and the main force of the third army was approaching Youzhou, in Youzhou City, it was panicked, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the Forbidden City, Zhu Zaichun (yi, Tongyi), the eldest son of Zhengde, sat on the dragon chair, looking at the group of ministers below noisy, although he wanted to keep calm and maintain his dignity as an emperor, but his face was inevitably angry!

The puppet Tang army is already close at hand, and these courtiers are still fighting for power and profit, intrigue!

Zhu Zaikun ascended the throne in a hurry eight days ago, when there was a fiasco in the Anping War, the bad news of Zhengde's death, and the Ming ministers who stayed in Youzhou that day supported Zhu Zaikun to ascend the throne as the emperor and awarded the year name Shao Wu.

Now Emperor Shaowu looked at these courtiers who were still noisy, only caring about blaming others and shirking responsibility, but they didn't mention how to retreat from the enemy for a long time, and he felt for the first time why the first emperor hated these courtiers!
