Chen Lifu just came back from Songjiang Mansion a few days ago, and this time he went to Songjiang Mansion, his methods were still old and bloody.

Under his drastic measures, the rectification of Songjiang Prefecture's tax work has achieved quite remarkable results, and the tax revenue in the first quarter of Xuanping's sixth year has more than doubled compared with the third and fourth quarters of Xuanping's fifth year, especially the agricultural tax, which is the most serious tax evasion, has increased by more than 300 percent!

This made the boss very satisfied, and after the tax work of Songjiang Mansion was rectified, he was recalled to Jinling City by his boss.

In the system of the Tang Dynasty, officials were recalled to Beijing, usually speaking, it was nothing more than these situations, either the routine return of high-level officials to Beijing to report on their work, or the middle-level officials had major problems and were recalled to Beijing for accountability, or they were promoted and reused.

In Chen Lifu's case, he is neither a high-ranking official, nor is there a problem, so he can only be promoted and reused, if it is not for the promotion of him, then he will generally be allowed to continue to inspect a certain prefecture or prefecture, and he does not need to return to Beijing, just a piece of paper.

After returning to Jinling City, although the grade has not yet been upgraded, it is still the tax inspection of the sixth grade, but he has already heard the rumors, and the top is already planning to add another burden to him, if nothing else, it should be in hand from the five products this year, and then go to the local inspection tax, then it is not a government and a state, but a whole province!

However, Chen Lifu, who was extremely beautiful in front of outsiders, after returning to Jinling City, was closed to visitors, except for the routine accident of going to work at the inspection office of the grain collection department, he basically did not deal with other officials.

No one knows, his heart is still extremely tormented!

When he went to Songjiang Mansion before, there were not a hundred gentry who died at his hands, but dozens of them, and more than 20 families were copied just by copying their homes, and all the gentry families in Songjiang Mansion were raided.

When he was in Songjiang Mansion, the teacher he was studying personally came to the door and asked him to let one of them go, because the family and his teacher were in-laws, but Chen Lifu was also very helpless!

The list has been sent, and law enforcement has already begun, what can he do? There is no way at all, and if he dares to bend the law for personal gain, he will be immediately targeted when he turns back, and it will be a matter of minutes to be beheaded.

In the end, his teacher scolded him on the spot, scolded him as an eagle dog of the court, scolded him for cruelty to Zhongliang, spit on his face three times, and announced on the spot that he had severed the master-apprentice relationship, and he had never accepted him as a disciple!

That day, Chen Lifu felt that his heart was going to die!

Why is it so difficult to endure humiliation and want to do something, why don't they understand themselves?

The teachers and friends didn't understand him, but Chen Lifu was a person with a strong heart, and he was still meticulous in his work, and in order to avoid suspicion, every time he returned to Beijing, he was closed.

Not only him, but in fact, after many tax inspectors returned to Beijing, most of them did not have much contact with outsiders, because although the position of tax inspector is very powerful, and it has great authority when it comes down to the locality, it has great power and great risks.

Many tax inspectors are hindered by various personal relationships, or simply want to make money on their own, and in the end they all end up losing their official hats, or even being convicted and killed.

Chen Lifu is not short of money, their Chen family has a lot of money, they can't look down on the small money they embezzle, and he doesn't want big money, he doesn't lack this money, what he lacks is power, the power to help the world and set things right in the court.

From beginning to end, he has not forgotten his responsibility, he entered the Tang Dynasty officialdom as an official, not for glory and wealth, he is to realize the ideal in his mind, that is, to clean up the many chaotic and tyrannical governments implemented by the imperial court today, so that the world can return to the beauty of the past.

There is still a long way to go!

It's just a sentence that Chen Lifu often admonishes himself!

And the other sentence is to endure the humiliation!

Let him laugh, let him scold, let him be crazy, and when he Chen Lifu ends the chaos and tyranny of the imperial court one day, who in the world will dare to say that he Chen Lifu has done wrong?

Today, he got off work a little early, came back from the yamen early, and when he came back, he was painting in the study, and he has been painting frequently lately, and only when he paints can he forget all his troubles.

At this time, he heard the steward Zhao Fu say that there was an extraneous number of the Imperial Newspaper, and he immediately put down his paintbrush, as a Tang Dynasty official, every issue of the Datang Dynasty Newspaper is a must-see, and the extraneous is no exception.

Because now the Tang Dynasty newspaper has become the most important propaganda window in the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of important personnel changes and policy changes are announced to the whole world in the Tang Dynasty newspaper.

Many of the above contents are the original text of the holy decree, and the beginning is to carry the emperor in heaven and summon it, and the holy decree with the two words "summoned" is all announced to the whole world.

It is actually more important than the official inside, and the Di Bao that puts an end to the spread of the news!

After taking over today's extra, Chen Lifu saw the big word extras at first glance, followed by the words Anping Dajie.

Anping? Hell knows where!

Continue to look down, this front page says that the ancient sage monarch personally led the army to meet the main force of more than 100,000 puppet Ming thieves and nearly 100,000 Tatar cavalry outside Anping Town, Shandong, and the soldiers fought bravely and defeated the Tatar cavalry and puppet Ming thief army on the spot.

The puppet Ming thief army suffered countless casualties and was captured more than 100,000 prisoners, while the Tatar cavalry suffered tens of thousands of casualties, leaving only a small half fleeing in embarrassment!

The Tang Dynasty newspaper's reports on the war have always been imaginative, and there are basically no accurate figures, because they are all military secrets, and in addition, for the propaganda effect, appropriate artistic processing will also be carried out.

For example, the Tatar cavalry suffered about 10,000 casualties and more than 40,000 escaped, but in the Tang Dynasty report, it was 30,000 dead and wounded, and only 20,000 or 30,000 escaped.

However, no matter what the numbers are, it is undeniable that a big victory is a big victory!

As an official, Chen Lifu's political sensitivity is quite high, and when he reads this article, he can immediately guess that no matter what the specific losses of both sides of the war are, but since this is out of the horn and widely publicized, then this battle must be won, and what does this mean?

This means that the Tang Dynasty has completely defeated the Ming Dynasty, and now it is completely unified in China, but the nominal unification is already absolute, and the follow-up will continue to destroy the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will become the new master of the land of China like the traditional central dynasty in the past!

The influence of this battle is definitely greater than the previous Yangzhou Battle and Anqing Battle!

Then he flipped through the back pages of the report, which said that Emperor Zhengde was defeated and died, of course, the Tang Dynasty newspaper naturally did not say anything good about Emperor Zhengde, let alone give him a sense of sadness, but said that this person was completely to blame, and then said that this person was completely crazy in the end, and he actually slaughtered the pseudo-Ming courtiers and soldiers.

In short, it is to belittle Emperor Zhengde and the pseudo-Ming as much as possible!

The Tang Dynasty newspaper has never exalted the enemy and respected the enemy's habits!

But all the enemies of the Tang Dynasty are scum and unforgivable crimes, which is the basic principle of many reports made by the Tang Dynasty Daily, in the articles of the Tang Dynasty Daily, Emperor Zhengde is bad pus, and Zhang Yue is also a corrupt official like the devil, cruelty to the people.

To put it simply, Zhang Yue is rampant and extortive, in order to meet his luxurious life, saying that when Zhang Yue eats, there are more than 100 dishes, all of which are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they are extremely luxurious, and these are all looted people's fat and people's ointment, saying that Zhang Yue in order to satisfy his luxurious life, he looted countless money in Huguang, Sichuan and other places, forcing the people to sell their children and daughters, and even change their children to eat.

God is pitiful, although Zhang Yue, like all Ming officials, has made a lot of money as an official, but it is really not as extravagant as the Tang Dynasty newspaper said, and a meal is only a few dozen dishes at most, and there are also some looted money, but they are all used to maintain the army.

In terms of this taxation, in fact, Zhang Yue's means of taxation are far inferior to the tax department of Datang!

Moreover, when Zhang Yue levied taxes, unlike Emperor Zhengde, the flat thieves' salaries opened by others were not only for the poor people, but also for the businessmen and gentry, but they were not as ruthless as the Tang Dynasty, and there were a lot more twists and turns, such as the situation of fundraising!

Most of the time, Zhang Yue collects military expenses through compromise methods, such as fundraising, opening checkpoints to collect tolls, or relying on those poor people who are bitter, he Zhang Yue really can't afford to support hundreds of thousands of superintendents and training troops.

In fact, to a certain extent, in fact, Zhang Yue has always been imitating the Tang Dynasty!

His supervision and training of the army, needless to say, the establishment, training, and weapons are all plagiarized from the Tang Army!

Even in his staff team, he set up some institutions with various names following the example of the Tang Dynasty, for example, there was an agency of the food department in his shogunate team, which was nominally to raise food for the army, but in fact it was a bit similar to the grain collection department of the Tang Dynasty, which was used to collect taxes, but Zhang Yue's taxation was not so direct, and the means were relatively gentle.

Although he did not say it publicly, Zhang Yue and his henchmen often revealed their appreciation for some of the policies of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty in private, and said that 'the master of the thief is the best to control the thief'.

Especially the collection of taxes, Nima, if he Zhang Yue can collect tens of millions of taels of silver a year, why worry about the Tang thief's injustice!

Well, this kind of thing must not be said outside, and many of the policies of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty cannot be learned!

If he dares to engage in a gentry to pay taxes in one piece, apportionment of the land into the mu, the collection of high commercial taxes, or even the establishment of a notorious organization such as the tax inspection team, it will be the opposite of supervising the standard every minute!

You must know that the core of the supervision is the children of the landlords and gentry, and they are dissatisfied with the many chaotic and tyrannical governments of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty.

If Zhang Yue plays the gentry like the Tang thief, pays taxes as a whole, apportions the land into the mu, and collects high commercial taxes!

These gentry children are still resisting a fart, wouldn't it be more straightforward to surrender directly to the pseudo-Tang!
