No one knows how many enemy soldiers the old man has killed on the battlefield.

But being able to come back with second-class merit is already a proof in itself.

And according to the discipline regulations of the People's Liberation Army, what conditions are needed to make a first-class meritorious service?

Those who are brave and tenacious in battle, resolutely carry out orders, abide by battlefield discipline in an exemplary manner, have outstanding achievements in completing combat tasks, or take the initiative to cover and rescue comrades-in-arms, have outstanding deeds, and have made greater contributions, may be recorded as third-class meritorious service; Where the merits are remarkable and there are important contributions, second-class merits may be recorded; Those who have made outstanding achievements and have made major contributions may be recorded as first-class meritorious service.

Doesn't this first-class condition seem nothing special?

It's really nothing special, but if you look at the conditions of the third-class merit first and then look at the second-class merit, do you still think that the first-class merit is easy?

Moreover, first-class merit must be approved by the Central Military Commission. In other words, second-class merit is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After the old man came back, it was very dull for a while at first, but when he encountered a thief, he finally had a problem.

The thief with the dagger was broken by the old man with six legs.

Because there are three thieves.

The old man didn't have anything to do, but his relationship with the villagers became a little awkward - the three thieves were also from the village.

It wasn't until he grew up that Emperor Chongzhen knew what the old man's reaction was.

The old man was demobilized directly after coming down from the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, the habits developed on the battlefield, or the memory formed by the muscles themselves, made the old man react most directly.

In later generations, when the monkeys were hunted in the south, the soldiers could not go home directly after they returned, but had to fold the quilt every day in a barracks and walk in unison, and there was no other training.

And the purpose is also to make them forget the battlefield, forget the smoke of gunpowder, and be able to adapt to the life of ordinary people in the future.

But how much can it do?

After the crossing, Emperor Chongzhen came up with this agricultural reclamation legion, which also had this aspect of consideration.

After the non-commissioned officers could no longer stay in the army to serve, they entered the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, which were all military dependents, and there was no problem of being unable to adapt.

But Emperor Chongzhen solved a big problem by hitting it crookedly.

At least Zhang Weixian now wants to pull the guards out to practice, and he doesn't have to worry about issues such as time at all.

It's good to be a professional soldier who doesn't need to farm.

Zhang Weixian, who had confidence in his heart, did not shirk, and bowed down immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered someone to notify Cui Chengxiu of the Ministry of War and Meng Shaoyu of the Ministry of Rites.

Now the military system of the Ming Dynasty is a bit nondescript by Emperor Chongzhen.

For example, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies actually controls the world's soldiers and horses, and even includes the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the two largest fleets in the world today.

However, the declaration of war, or similar to the issuance of a state of war, the issuance of military merits, etc., must go through the Ministry of War.

In short, no one can live without anyone.

After completing Chongzhen's four-year military exercises or deterrence, especially against Japan, Emperor Chongzhen was relieved.

Now that's basically it, since you can't kill Jiannu all at once, there is not much hope that those dwarf people who want to be killed at one time.

After all, the guards are considered to be the army, and the army needs money, and the navy needs the same money, and the cost is greater than that of the army.

It's more important to still be in the matter of money.

Far away in Zhejiang, the faces of businessmen are basically not good-looking.

Master Zhao felt that what his distant cousin Kou Shen said made sense, so he simply did it to the end - he directly prepared all the materials that should be prepared for paying taxes, and waited to pay taxes.

But many people don't think so, even Li Yichen, a silk businessman who is good friends with Master Zhao, doesn't think so, even after Master Zhao analyzes the stakes he heard from Kou Shen again, Master Li still doesn't change his original intention.

If you want to conceal a tax, it is too simple, if you want to check the accounts, the messy flow accounts have been prepared properly, in order to prevent this day.

As for double-entry bookkeeping, Master Ben just doesn't want to use it, is there a problem?

Of course, there is no problem, not to mention Master Li alone, even if it is all the merchants and masters in the entire Suzhou Mansion, they have prepared running accounts, and the new Zhejiang tax envoy Liu Jingzhou thinks that there is no problem.

Just use whatever they want, anyway, the accounts can be matched, there is not much discrepancy, then it will be collected according to the standard of normal taxation.

If the accounts are not correct, and then find out that you have deliberately evaded taxes, then take your time and see.

In fact, the bookkeeping methods used in the Ming Dynasty, strictly speaking, have been combined with the double-entry bookkeeping method that began to appear in the folk, and most of them use "income and expenditure" as the accounting symbol.

Probably the most prominent of these is the existence of the four-pillar book.

The so-called four-pillar sales are actually account books compiled in the four-column format of "old management, new income, expulsion, and reality", but this thing must be used by the official in accordance with the regulations, and the people do their own thing.

In the Ming Law, the details of the provisions on duty crimes committed by accounting officials and the severity of the penalties applied are rare in previous dynasties.

It is worth mentioning that in order to rectify the rule of officials and the economic order, Zhu Yuanzhang planned the famous "Four Major Cases of the Early Ming Dynasty" in history, of which there were two major cases in the economic field, and the amount of money involved was huge, and the impact on the economic field was far-reaching and attracted the attention of the world.

After that, the Ming government enacted a decree to strictly punish economic crimes, and adopted a series of effective measures in financial management.

One of them is to change the figures recorded in taxes and money and grain to capitalized numbers "壹贰三囻動武鍌玖拾佰仟", which is how the accounting capitalization figures of the Celestial Empire came from in the later generations.

Generally speaking, if there are good things in the government, especially those that evolve after being absorbed by the people, there are really many people who follow the trend.

In a place like Zhejiang, where the style of doing business is extremely prosperous, similar to this bookkeeping method has long been flying all over the sky.

Now he suddenly put away this bookkeeping method, and instead used the bookkeeping method that no one has used for a long time, if there is no ghost in it, Liu Jingzhou feels that he will not believe it unless he is a fool.

But this can't be done, although these taxes are in the treasury, but the emperor wants to use the money to build slaves, you do this, don't you make the emperor unable to collect the money?

If the emperor can't receive the money, he will definitely be unhappy, the emperor is not happy, and the hearts of these slaves and maids in our family are not very comfortable.

This street in front of the Suzhou Mansion is the first target that Liu Jingzhou has set his sights on.

After collecting the account books of all the merchants on the street, the arithmetic students brought by Liu Jingzhou from Beijing began to get busy.

Journal, right?

It doesn't matter, all the fucking ones will change it to a four-column account of income and expenditure, one by one, and check it one by one, anyway, our family has brought a lot of arithmetic students from Beijing, and they are dedicated to this work.

Moreover, while they were working, there were also Jinyi guards who kept an eye on each other, and all the ledgers had to be crossed over to prevent which student from being related to which merchant and covering up.

Liu Jingzhou brought enough arithmetic students, and the speed of checking the accounts was indeed fast enough, and with the sound of crackling abacus, questionable accounts began to surface.

And once it is found that the accounts of which family are not clear, Liu Jingzhou will directly notify the Suzhou Mansion Yamen to go and get people.

After taking someone, he didn't do anything else, just asked a few accounts with problems in the account book repeatedly, kept asking, and the two answers were not the same, it was a jerk, and he directly found the fault of the account until he found it clear.

It didn't take long, only seven or eight days later, and all the ledgers on these streets in front of the Suzhou government were reviewed.

There are a total of 40 shops, and there are more than 400 accounts in a year, and there are more than 800 accounts that are found to be problematic or unclear.

After sneering at the final result for a long time, Liu Jingzhou went to find Kou Shen, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture.

Kou Shen also had a lot of pain.

Forty shops, forty big businessmen with heads and faces, and I don't know how many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are standing behind them, except for his distant nephew Master Zhao, who is safe and sound, the remaining thirty-nine are on the list of those who have been arrested.

In the past seven or eight days, the Suzhou government has already arrested five people - that is, another thirty-four people need to be arrested.

But it's easy to catch, once all these shops are closed, will the people of Suzhou Mansion still be alive? Will it lead to a collective strike by businessmen?

Looking at Kou Shen's tangled face, Liu Jingzhou smiled and said, "Lord Kou is worried? ”

Kou Shen nodded and said, "Yes, this official is worried that these businessmen will cause trouble after they are arrested. ”

Liu Jingzhou said nonchalantly: "What else can you make a mess?" Could it be that these bastards still have the courage to rebel? ”

Kou Shen smiled: "If it is said to be a rebellion, these people must not have the courage, otherwise they would not have waited until today."

It's just that the official is worried that these big businesses will go on strike. These people are inconspicuous, but the forces behind them are intricate, and most of the businesses in Suzhou are related to these people.

In case these people join forces with other businesses to make a scene, the livelihood of the people in Suzhou will inevitably be affected, and whether it is Gonggong Liu or the lower officials, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to His Majesty. ”

Liu Jingzhou sneered and said: "Let them make trouble, our family has already received His Majesty's will when we come, whoever dares to make trouble will completely seal the shop and replace it to open it."

If these bastards pay all the taxes, and honestly pay the taxes on time and in full in the future, this matter will pass, but if they dare to play those messy ways, they will never get used to them, and if they find one, they will be killed.

Let's see how hard these soft bones are! ”

When Kou Shen heard this, the worry in his heart was even worse.

If Liu Jingzhou was the one who picked the head, he would impeach Liu Jingzhou to the imperial court for reckless behavior.

At that time, whether it is the dead eunuch who carries the black cauldron, or there are other ways to deal with it, in short, the tax is collected, and it can be regarded as an explanation for these big businessmen, and the people's lives can still go on.

But now Liu Jingzhou's words mean that this matter was personally instructed by His Majesty the Emperor.

That's going to be a lot of fun.

Although Kou Shen is far away from the court, and his official position is not big or small, he is only the prefect of Suzhou Mansion, but he thinks that he can see clearly what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing since he ascended the throne.

At least this master doesn't have the habit of letting his subordinates carry the black cauldron, everything is done by an open fire cane, and as for the consequences, he doesn't care at all.

And this master has another problem.

It is said that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and those who watch the fight are eager to kill the two of them at once, but this master has always rolled up his sleeves and is not afraid of big things.

At least the tens of thousands of rolling heads in Nanzhili are proof of this.

However, I have been the prefect of Suzhou Mansion for a few years, and I think I can see clearly what kind of virtue these wealthy businessmen are.

I don't have the courage to rebel, but if you say that these people don't make some stumbling blocks in secret, then the fool will believe it.

Liu Jingzhou looked at Kou Shen's bitter gourd face sitting in the troubled city, and said with a smile: "What is Lord Kou panicking about? Don't you have a distant nephew? ”

Kou Shen's heart stirred and asked, "What does Gonggong Liu mean?" ”

Liu Jingzhou said with a smile: "It is said that Qin Hui still has three good friends, so we don't believe that your distant nephew doesn't know some big businessmen?"

Your nephew's accounts are clear, and his taxes are a lot of money, which is a good thing.

Let him contact some such businessmen, if these bastards in Suzhou City treat the matter of paying taxes as a child's play, our family will treat them as a child's play, and in the future, the shops in Suzhou City will all let your nephew and his friends do it, and the merchants who can pay taxes honestly will do it.

Even if the strength of these businessmen is a little smaller, there is no problem, with our family to protect them, there will be no problems! ”

Kou Shen was no longer polite at the moment, and went out of the study directly and ordered: "Go, call Zhao Yihai to the mansion." ”

Liu Jingzhou, the dead eunuch, revealed too much news in his words, so much that he was shocked.

The only thing I am looking forward to now is that Zhao Yihai knows something good, don't die.

At this time, Zhao Yihai was drinking in the Eight Immortals Building with dozens of famous wealthy businessmen in Suzhou Mansion.

The atmosphere of drinking is not too good, and it is basically discussing the tax issue this time.

The Dog Emperor said that he wanted to collect business taxes, and the big guys would pay the business taxes, but who would have thought that the Dog Emperor would actually send out such a thing as a tax supervisor again?

What else is good about the tax superintendent? Isn't it just knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow?

Listening to the more and more outrageous discussions of a group of people, Zhao Yihai's heart became more and more disdainful.

Uncle Cousin is right, these guys don't have the courage to rebel, and playing these tricks is tantamount to causing trouble for themselves, and now they have simply discussed the strike.

Coughing his throat, after waiting for the others to be quieter, Zhao Yihai spoke.
