Of course, if Chen Lifu is promoted and becomes a provincial inspector, he must first rectify the tax work in Songjiang Prefecture.

And after Chen Lifu arrived in Songjiang Mansion, he didn't care about the many criticisms outside, it was nothing more than scolding him, he heard a lot of this kind of words, even the teachers and classmates in the past were written to scold him, and the scolding of ordinary people could no longer move him.

After arriving in Songjiang Mansion, he continued to study the tax work of Songjiang Prefecture for several days, especially the internal tax system of Songjiang Prefecture, and then he waved a butcher's knife and directly slashed at the internal officials of Songjiang Prefecture's tax system!

At the beginning of the fifth day in Songjiang Mansion, Chen Lifu personally led the team, and the Songjiang Prefecture Patrol Police Bureau and the Inspectorate cooperated to arrest more than 20 officials in the Songjiang Prefecture Taxation System, and the interesting thing is that Chen Lifu even arrested the deputy director of the Songjiang Prefecture Taxation Bureau, and the reason is very simple: corruption!

And this deputy director, the grade is from the fifth grade, which is higher than his grade.

However, these officials in the tax system, under Chen Lifu, a special inspection official of the Ministry of Taxation, have no power to resist at all, because after being dispatched to the local government, theoretically speaking, Chen Lifu has all the power over the local tax system, including arresting and dismissing officials in the local tax system.

At the same time, Chen Lifu's power is only limited to the tax system!

After arresting more than 20 tax officials, Chen Lifu, as in the past, also cleaned up the local tax inspection team, and a large number of scum who joined in the early days were cleaned up and dealt with by him, and the cases were serious.

And when doing these things, Chen Lifu can find his own sense of achievement, rectify the rule of tax officials, and clean up the scum and corrupt officials in the tax system, which is in line with his mind to help the world.

After doing these things, Chen Lifu is actually reluctant to take care of the rest of the things, because the rest of the work is to find out tax evasion and make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

So at this time, in order to avoid the discomfort in his heart, he often lets go of the local tax system to conduct strict inspections.

Interestingly, when Chen Lifu first rectified the tax system, the local tax system officials often worked very hard in order to keep their official hats, and their results were also quite outstanding.

Then, Chen Lifu came to his most tangled and embarrassing time, it was a list, a list of tax evasion, according to the size of the amount, whether the circumstances were serious or not from top to bottom to more than 100.

Chen Lifu even saw a lot of familiar names from it!

Whenever this time, Chen Lifu will sigh, directly draw a line, circle the top ten or top fifteen people, and then will be treated as a typical punishment, heavy punishment, raiding the family is certain, the main members of the family will be arrested, and it is even more reasonable for the head of the family to be beheaded.

And this time when Chen Lifu saw this list, he was ready to habitually draw out the first ten, although there were hundreds of people on the list, but he couldn't kill them all, he Chen Lifu couldn't bear it, just kill the first ten, and let him explain to his boss.

But when he looked at this list, he took a second look, and then found that the tenth place had evaded taxes of more than 50,000 taels of silver, and then looked back, the fifteenth place was more than 30,000, and the twentieth place was more than 10,000!

The pen that was just about to be drawn stopped in mid-air, and then after a hesitation, he turned to the twentieth place, and finally gritted his teeth and melted directly!

It's not that he is willing to assign ten more people, but he knows that if he hands in this list, the boss will definitely not be satisfied that he only punished the first ten.

Because when he was in Ningguo Mansion before, the person who ranked tenth, regardless of tax evasion, was only 5,000 taels of silver, but he was still raided by him, could it be that when he arrived in Songjiang Mansion, this standard would be several times more relaxed?

He couldn't explain to his superiors by doing so!

When Chen Lifu made this decision, it meant that there would be twenty gentry families in Songjiang Mansion that would be reduced to nothingness, the head of the family would be sentenced to death, the main accomplices, that is, the adult brothers and nephews would be sentenced to exile and hard labor, and the minors and their female dependents would be driven out of their homes, and there would be nothing left in the end!

Thinking that these gentry would end up with this kind of ending, and this ending was caused by his own hands, Chen Lifu felt deeply helpless!

The world scolds me Chen Lifu for being an eagle dog and degenerating into a traitor and thief, but who can understand that I, Chen Lifu, endure humiliation for the dawn of the world.

If I Chen Lifu is really ruthless, then on this list, there will not be only 20 families that have been raided and exterminated, but 100!

But even if he was full of grievances, Chen Lifu didn't plan to explain anything more to the world, because he had explained, but no one listened.

After Chen Lifu made a decision, the local tax inspection team acted quickly, and in Chen Lifu's previous rectification, the tax inspection team also knew that the new Chen Lifu was not easy to mess with, but a more ruthless person than them.

The tax inspection team is recognized as an organization with a lot of oil and water, and if you work in it, even if you are just an ordinary team member, the money will come from you.

Of course, corruption and bribery are generally not courageous, and those who dare to do it are basically killed by the imperial history of the Inspectorate, or simply the tax inspector like Chen Lifu, and the anti-corruption agency within the Ministry of Taxation.

However, when I was on a business trip, I took a jade bracelet, a gold ring and other gadgets, which no boss would care, don't look at these gadgets, but as a person from the tax inspection team, my vision is naturally not bad.

This breadwinner, spending all day and drinking, just counting on the skin of this tax inspection team, how can he easily give it up.

Therefore, this group of people worked very hard, and in just a few days, they attacked in a row, arresting all the twenty families on the list, and the whole process was relatively smooth.

Because under normal circumstances, in addition to the head of the family who will be sentenced to beheading, most of the other family members can still save their lives, and these big families, which one is not a cunning rabbit, after this raid, although this day will plummet, but most of them can still maintain a decent life.

After the arrest and raid of the house, according to the usual practice, Chen Lifu handed over the relevant files to the Inspectorate, and let the Inspectorate be responsible for initiating a public prosecution.

And for this kind of thing, in order to have the effect of killing chickens and setting an example, the Inspectorate also launched a public prosecution quickly and strictly, and the Grand Court also tried it quickly.

Only three days later, before the outside world could react, the Songjiang Prefecture Court made a verdict, and a total of 23 first offenders of tax evasion were sentenced to be executed on the same day!

The remaining more than 100 accomplices were sentenced to prison terms ranging from one year to twenty years or life imprisonment, and then these prisoners were all exiled to the Dayuan Mansion to contribute to the development of the Dayuan Mansion by the Tang Dynasty.

At present, the Tang Dynasty often exiled many criminals sentenced to prison to remote border areas such as Daodayuanfu, Hainan Island, Yunnan, and Guizhou, which not only achieved the purpose of punishment, but also achieved the purpose of enriching the local population and developing the local area.

When Chen Lifu raised the butcher's knife again in Songjiang Mansion, Li Xuan in Jinling City was also busy, and on this day, he led his ministers out of the city to inspect the two newly completed enterprises of Jiangnan Arsenal and Jinling Shipyard under the Jiangnan Weapons Company.

Since last year, the Ministry of Industry of Datang has been preparing to build various national defense industries in various parts of Jiangnan, especially in Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture, and the core is the Jiangnan Weapons Company, which includes a series of national defense enterprises such as Jiangnan Arsenal and Jinling Shipyard in Jinling, Jiangnan Shipyard and Shanghai Arsenal in Wusong Shanghai.

In addition, another core project of the Ministry of Industry is Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, which is a comprehensive iron and steel enterprise integrating ironmaking, steelmaking, exploration and iron ore mining.

The Ministry of Industry has invested huge manpower and material resources in these enterprises that are related to national defense and security, and the construction funds alone are no less than one million taels, and they even asked Li Xuan for money on the way.

Today, all kinds of defense enterprises in Jiangnan have finally begun to take shape.

In the autumn, a series of factories such as Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant and Jiangnan Arsenal have actually started trial production in small batches, but it will take some time for large-scale mass production.

At present, the Jiangnan Arsenal that Li Xuan went to inspect has not reached mass production strictly speaking, and it is only in the trial production stage, but Li Xuan heard that when the Jiangnan Arsenal was under construction, it specially designed and built a gun production line with a particularly high degree of mechanized production, and once it was successfully mass-produced, its output would surpass all the existing arsenals.

However, this production line is not the point, the point is that the main purpose of Li Xuan's visit to the Jiangnan Arsenal is to inspect the live ammunition test of the flintlock pistol.

And Li Xuan has always been very concerned about flintlock pistols, two years earlier, in fact, those teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology had already made flintlock pistols.

But there are many problems, the main problem is that the quality of the spring is not up to standard, resulting in the firing rate is too low, the test results at that time are that the success rate of firing is only 50 percent, and this firing rate is absolutely unacceptable to the army generals, so the flintlock pistol that was made at that time, even the test equipment was not carried out, and the army simply refused to continue the test.

However, despite the setback, the Royal Institute of Technology gave up the continued research and development of the flintlock pistol, at that time, the Royal Institute of Technology, the improvement of the flintlock pistol, the main research direction is to focus on high-quality spring steel, because the other aspects of the flintlock pistol are no longer any problem, the only problem is that the firing rate is too low, and the firing rate of this thing, the key is in the spring.

It's just that there is no shortcut to the research and development of this basic material, and it can only be tested over and over again.

The hard work paid off, and when the people of the Royal Institute of Technology tested hundreds of formulas and processes in various proportions, they finally came up with a spring steel.
