They know there. The emperor has now been driven crazy by the depleted finances. Just thinking about how to increase the revenue of the treasury . The more they oppose it. The more the emperor strengthened his determination to implement the commercial tax. In the eyes of the emperor. These opponents all run shops in their homes. There are also seagoing ships that go to sea to do business. Because it is in their interest that they oppose it.

The emperor above quietly looked at the opposing ministers below. Don't say a word. This made the ministers who rose up to admonish. It's like a punch on a cotton 'flower'. It's a bit of a no-focus feeling. What do you say, the emperor doesn't care. Let you say it yourself."

Wait until everyone is gone. The emperor said, "I know. You all have shops in your homes. Doing business. Don't think I'm deaf and blind. Starting tomorrow. Jinyi Weidong Factory. It is necessary to investigate the ministers who have business in their families. It has been verified. Immediate justice. I will not tolerate it. Business Tax. I'm decided. As for the details. There is a tall man in charge. I'm going to see what you've discussed in two days. In the future, there is a tall person in charge of the household department. The Ministry of Officials has Zhang Juzheng and Zhang in charge. Now the main thing is finance. Such a big court. There was no silver deposited. And keep an eye on the silver in my inner vault. You as ministers. Don't you feel ashamed?"

The emperor said that tomorrow he would let Jinyiwei go to check the ministers of business. There was no sound of speech below. Those who had been admonished also returned to the ranks and stood up. Waiting for the emperor to continue his instructions.

I know that very well. Your Majesty, this is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. Didn't you advise on business taxes? I'll check if you have any business in your house. Officials in the Ming Dynasty were forbidden to do business. Officials in the capital who did not have a few shops. So. This trick sent all the officials into a panic. Now I'm thinking about it in my heart. How to change shops. How can I not let Jinyiwei find out. What else is there to provoke the emperor.

No one thought about it. This one of the Golden Palace trials. Trial and trial. There was a transfer to the business tax above. I don't know yet. Next. What other moves does the emperor have to come out? I also wrote a lot of business tax details in the excerpt I gave him. If the high arch is not well written. Or with my way out is too big. Then he will wait for the emperor's wrath.

For a time the hall was silent. Where else do people come out to speak. Waited a while. Gao Gong stood up again and said, "Your Majesty. This old merchant doesn't understand either. Please also ask the emperor to ask Gao Ming. The ministers in the Ministry of Officials have just begun to crack down on those corrupt officials. It's just getting started. I'm afraid I'll give up halfway. So the minister still asked the emperor to let the minister finish this matter and then go to the household department. I think Mr. Zhang is quite 'fine' about financial management. Otherwise, the emperor will arrange for Lord Zhang to do it."

"Tall man. Emperor Chrysostom 'jade' words. Is it a change of day? You're tall and you're the first assistant. It should be very 'fine' in everything. Besides, the emperor didn't let you go to the household department to be a scholar. It's just a temporary lead to the work of the household department. Could it be said. If the officials leave you, I can't punish corruption."

Zhang Juzheng's words were speechless. Who asked him to give the hot potato of business tax to Zhang Juzheng. He was right to refute him. You are the first assistant. You don't care who cares. The emperor said that you are still bargaining. How can there be a first assistant.

"Master Zhang is right. Tall, you are the first assistant. Now the state finances have reached this level. You should not be afraid of difficulties. Have the courage to pick up this burden for me. You're still my master. I remember you saying that. As a courtier, you must be faithful to the Lord. You can't pick and choose what to do. Could it be that Lord Gao has forgotten?"

That's a lot of weight. The emperor even moved out if Gao Gong was a teacher. There's room for him to shirk. had to go out and kneel on the ground again: "Your Majesty. Then the old minister took over the problem. Guaranteed to live up to the emperor's expectations. Do your business taxes well."

"This is my master. This is my first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. An example of the courtiers. All Aiqing should learn from the tall people. Wholeheartedly for the country. Contribute to the prosperity and strength of our Ming Dynasty."

Just when the emperor is going to continue to give instructions.' The guard at the entrance of the door reported. said that the Shence Army went to Wei Zihan's house to search and returned. Ask the emperor if he let them in. The emperor spoke. Let Ouyang Jing, the 'attendant' who led the search, meet him.

Ouyang carried two boxes into the main hall. Walk to the royal case. 'Handed' the box to Chen Jiu. Chen Jiu opened the box again and handed it to the emperor. The emperor said: "Chen Jiu. Spread Zhang Tao and Wei Yunzhong to come in."

After a while, a few 'guards' brought Wei Yunzhong and Zhang Tao in. The two knelt in front of the dragon case. The emperor asked Chen Jiu to give the box to Gao Gong. Gao Gong took the box and asked Zhang Tao: "Zhang County ordered this to send Wei Yunzhong's ginseng."

"Lord Gao is the ginseng given to him by the lower officials."

"That's good. Lord Wei. This was not given to you by Zhang Tao?"

"Lord Gao, this is the box that Zhang County ordered me to contain He Shou Wu."

Gao Gong opened the box and looked at it and said, "Wei Yunzhong is now. You also say that this is He Shou Wu. Look at what this is." As he spoke, Gao Gong handed the open box to Wei Yunzhong. Wei Yunzhong knows it. Besides, there is still a difference between the fake ginseng I made and the real ginseng. That Wei Yunzhong has been in officialdom for so many years. Nothing good has ever been seen. Unlike high arches. Self-esteem. I don't accept any gifts.

Wei Yunzhong said: "Lord Gao. This is He Shou Wu. You haven't heard of it. Does He Shou Wu also have the same as ginseng? When Zhang Xianling gave it to me. I also thought it was ginseng. Find someone to take a look. Only then did I confirm that this was He Shou Wu."

Gao Gong took the box to Zhang Tao again and asked, "Zhang County Order. It's not ginseng."

Zhang Tao had already panicked. Outside, I was scared by a few more 'squires'. There will also be a group to take a closer look. After only glancing at the surface, he said, "It's the ginseng I gave to Lord Wei. Absolutely."

Zhang Juzheng also came over and took a look at it and said, "Don't talk about it, Lord Gao. If you can't find out if you have two imperial doctors to take a look at ginseng?"

The emperor also said, "Then send the imperial doctor to confirm whether it is ginseng. And Ouyang. You go to Lord Wei's house to search and tell a few adults."

Ouyang stood up. He took out a piece of paper from his bosom and read: "Five hundred and thirty-two taels of silver were found from the Wei Mansion. It's all official silver. According to Mrs. Wei's 'handover' generation. This is Lord Wei. The wealth of the past years. There are also calligraphy and paintings, which are also left by the old lady of Weifu. I didn't find the five thousand taels of silver that Zhang Xianling said."

Gao Gong didn't believe it, and took the list and read it several times. He said to himself, "How can this be. How so."

He turned back to Zhang Tao and asked, "You did send five thousand taels of silver to Wei Yunzhong."

Zhang Tao was also stunned at this time. That's all there is to it. How can I say that? He stammered and replied, "Master Gao did send five thousand taels of silver. Did Lord Wei transfer the silver to the place?"
