Chapter 1048 Whoever steals the widow's money is guilty and deserves death! (2nd Update)
Handan City, Longtai side hall.
Zhao Dan sat at the top, carefully flipping through the several account books in front of him.
At the next head, Yu Xin and Lu Buwei sat there a little uneasy, waiting for Zhao Dan's ruling.
After the past few months, these two core ministers of the Zhao State were ordered by Zhao Dan to invest a lot of energy in this matter.
And now, it was time for them to submit their results to Zhao Dan.
Just from the shocking figures noted in this account book, we can know what kind of efforts Yu Xin and LΓΌ Buwei have put in in the past few months.
In fact, Zhao Dan also knows very well that this kind of thing has always existed, and even Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch of the year, was once reprimanded in person by Zhao Hao, who was still a Tianbu official at the time, for tax evasion.
So Zhao Dan's request is very simple, as long as these damn nobles pay all the taxes they have stolen and missed in the past five years truthfully, and then they can not be blamed for the past.
If anyone dares to do anything to conceal or fool Zhao Dan in such a situation, then what awaits these guys will be the legal sanctions of Zhao State.
After Zhao Dan's order was promulgated, it instantly caused a great shock in Zhao Guo.
Many aristocrats protested, and even some of the princes of Zhao State, such as some uncles and uncles of Zhao Dan and even super older generation figures such as uncles.
But for Zhao Dan, these are just the noise of some ants.
If it was in the Taiping period, these opposition from within the aristocracy could not be ignored by Zhao Dan himself.
After all, to put it bluntly, Zhao Dan, the monarch, is the largest nobleman in Zhao State, and belongs to the same class as these nobles who have been investigated.
But now that we are at war, the situation is completely different.
The most direct consequence of war is that it can quickly create a large number of military nobles.
And these military nobles who have risen because of their military exploits and hold military power in their hands are the most powerful supporters of Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao.
The great man once said that "the power comes out of the barrel of the gun", the barrel of the gun here actually refers to the military power, since Zhao Dan can firmly grasp the army in his hands, so why care about the little opposition?
So Zhao Dan's meaning is very clear - check!
Not just to check, but to the end!
Because Zhao Dan knows very well that people's hearts are greedy, how easy is it to get those nobles to obediently pay such a large amount of taxes that have been hidden in the past five years?
Only by first controlling the information, and then according to these facts, can we really figure out which ones are honest and those who are still lucky.
With the full cooperation of Mao Sui and Hu Yiwei, a large number of Zhao nobles were found to have committed many misdeeds in this investigation, not only including tax evasion, but also bullying men and women, ignoring national laws and killing people, and privately accumulating weapons.
For these guys who dig up radishes and bring out the mud, Zhao Dan naturally will not have any mercy on his subordinates.
After a burst of rage, Zhao Dan promoted Li Si, the current representative of the Legalist family in the Zhao political arena, from the lieutenant to the position of the chief of justice, and asked Li Si to deal with these Zhao nobles who were found to have problems in accordance with the law.
It is worth mentioning that these nobles of Zhao State who have been found to be problematic are basically the kind of people who conceal and do not fully pay taxes.
At this moment, Li Si was sitting next to Yu Xin, waiting for Zhao Dan's decision with a very calm face.
I have to say that this Li Si is also a ruthless person, after taking office, he immediately used the same set of methods as the Legalists, not only completely controlling Si Kou's subordinates in a very short period of time, but also being extremely efficient in this aspect of interrogation.
In just two months, Li Si had already sent a list of two hundred people to Zhao Dan's desk.
Two hundred people may not seem like a lot of numbers, but the problem is that these two hundred people basically belong to the head or core of a certain aristocratic family, which is the so-called first evil.
If the co-operatives were to be prosecuted, or if they were to be exiled, there would be thousands of people involved.
As long as Zhao Dan really approves a word on this list, then such a super earthquake caused by taxes in Zhao's political arena will really start to enter the climax.
Looking at the many familiar names on the list, even if he had already been mentally prepared, Zhao Dan's body still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Yu Xin looked at Zhao Dan's appearance, couldn't help coughing, and said: "King, in fact, Li Qing has also shown this list to the minister before, and the minister thinks that many of them are actually quite capable, and they are also loyal to the king, so the king might as well think about it......"
Before Yu Xin's words were finished, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Dan.
"An Guojun doesn't need to say more."
Zhao Dan raised his head and said word by word: "These guys, they just hide it from the widow on weekdays, but now the widow has been ordered three times, but they still don't take it seriously!" An Guojun, the widow knows that you have good intentions. But the moths of these countries, the widows must clean them up! β
After saying this, Zhao Dan lifted the brush in his hand, and Long Feifeng danced on the list of judgments submitted by Li Si with the word "may", and then used the jade seal and handed the list back to Li Si's hands.
"Li Qing, even if you follow the provisions of the law, anyone who wants to find trouble with you will be blocked for you!"
Zhao Dan's words were categorical, and he did not back down at all.
MMP, this group of guys, even if they steal the widow's money, they dare not pay it back now? If you don't pay it back, then you will all die!
Yu Xin frowned, and said worriedly: "Great King, behind these two hundred nobles, there are thousands of officials. If there are thousands of officials lost at this time, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the affairs of the country. β
Zhao Dan laughed and said: "An Guojun doesn't have to worry too much, the widow has already decided, and after this war is over, he will promote a group of outstanding talents from the newly canonized nobles and let them replace the position of this group of moths." Also, a new batch of scholars from the Huaxia Academy Palace is about to graduate, and the manpower is completely sufficient. In this way, An Guojun should have no problem, right? β
Yu Xin opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "King Shengming." β
Zhao Dan nodded, and glanced at Mao Sui who was standing beside him: "Mao Sui, now come to Rulai and talk to a few Aiqing about this Zheng Zhu Zheng Qing." β
