Zhao Jaw listened to the words of the money return, his heart twitched, and he subconsciously covered his chest: "I paid 1,400 taels, can I also return those cloths to me?" ”

For this matter, Zhao Jaw is also very concerned, money is not the key, without those cloths, he will have to stock up again.

"Of course not!" Qian also said with a smile: "If you illegally operate items that do not match the business license, once you are discovered, the goods will be confiscated and you will be fined." Fourteen hundred taels were only fines, and the cloth was confiscated. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jaw felt that his heart was about to stop.

"Can I buy it back with money?" Zhao Jaw looked at the money and said through gritted teeth.

Qian also shook his head: "In order to avoid the situation of bending the law for personal gain and soliciting bribes, the illegally operated goods cannot be redeemed once they are sealed." Stretched out his hand and put the paperwork in front of Zhao Jaw again, and Qian said with a smile: "If there is no problem, sign it here!" ”

Although he was scolding in his heart, Zhao Jaw still trembled and picked up the pen and signed.

After taking the paperwork, Qian said with a smile: "Zhao Dongjia, you can follow our tax service to pay the fine, after the fine is paid, you can come over to reapply for the business license, and you can reopen it after the certificate is issued." ”

Qian also pinched his nose and paid the fine, and then left with the people.

The matter of paying fines and confiscating goods spread throughout Daxing County like a gust of wind, and the tax department became notorious in an instant, and was called the "dead money" yamen. Countless people scolded and hid when they saw the tax collectors.

The reputation is more stinky than that of Jinyiwei, and it is simply ignored by people.

Despite this, the closed shops in Daxing County still came to pay the fines and then reopened. Gambling houses, like brothels, also paid fines, but their goods could not be confiscated, and fines were directly taken.

According to the Department of Taxation, gambling houses, brothels and restaurants are all places of entertainment.

Because there is no actual goods, fines are imposed according to the scale, such as how many prostitutes there are in the brothel and how many tables there are in the casino. Depending on the size, the amount of fines that need to be paid varies.

The two largest casinos and green buildings in Deyi Building and Ruyi Ju, the fine that Deyi Lou needs to pay is 5,600 taels, and the Ruyi Ju is 3,400 taels.

Although the fine was paid, the matter was not over, and the matter blew like the wind to the capital. Countless people began to be frightened, you must know that this tax department is not a yamen in Daxing County, but a yamen in the whole world.

The sign of the Yamen of the Daming Taxation Department is hung under the household department, Daxing County has done this, what about Shuntianfu?

For a time, this matter can be said to be very noisy, and the impeachment of the tax department was sent to Ouchi one by one. In their twists and turns, the tax department levied and extorted money and competed with the people for profit, which was simply a heinous crime.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the fold in his hand, the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and his emotions did not fluctuate. He has seen a lot of impeachment twists and turns over the years, and there are not a few twists and turns of impeachment himself, and now this can only be regarded as a small scene.

"Emperor, several cabinet scholars and six scholars have all arrived."

Zhang Whale respectfully bowed in front of Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun nodded, picked up a copy of the fold in his hand, and then tapped it and walked forward. Today's court meeting is that he is anxious, and now that everyone has arrived, he will officially start doing this.

The four cabinet scholars and the six scholars have all arrived, and they also know that the matter discussed today is definitely not small.

Zhu Yijun walked in with steps, and after everyone saluted, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, please be exempt!" When everyone got up, Zhu Yijun continued: "I came to you Aiqing today, there are a few things to discuss with Aiqing. ”

"This first thing is about knighthood!" Zhu Yijun's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then spoke.

"The titles of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the Aiqing, also know that the third-level titles of the Duke and the Earl are gone, and there are no lower titles." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, but time has changed!" ”

"When Emperor Taizu was in power, he raised troops to drive out the Tartars and help the world, and the merits of the heroes were also great, and the knighthood was higher."

"But by this time, the imperial court had not fought much with foreign countries, and it was even more difficult to obtain the title. Jue can't be taken lightly, I also know it, isn't it difficult for Li Guang to be sealed? This has also led to the fact that there are not many titles in the Ming Dynasty over the years. ”

"For meritorious courtiers, the way of reward is hereditary military position, hereditary Jinyi Wei hereditary commander and the like."

"But you Aiqing also know that the Ming Dynasty's Wei is rotten, during the Jiajing period, our Ming Dynasty was Tartar, and there were Japanese Kou in the south, but can Wei be reliable? It's unreliable! Even Qi Jiguang and the guards can't win! ”

During this time, Qi Jiguang's deeds were spread everywhere, and among Qi Jiguang's undefeated records in his life, the only defeat was particularly eye-catching.

But everyone knows that Qi Jiguang is not to blame, and the reason is because the guard army is unusable.

The erosion of the guard army is something known inside and outside the imperial court, many people have thought about what to do, and the recruitment system is of course the best way to solve it, but the imperial court has no money, so what to recruit soldiers, it can only be dealt with like this.

The imperial court squeezed out a little money, and then trained a little elite soldiers, and let them go when they were fighting.

"Hereditary commander, I have asked people to check, these people's fathers have military exploits, but their descendants have a lot of disdain, let them command the guard, the combat power of the guard can be imagined." Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice: "So I want to replace the reward of the hereditary military system with a knighthood, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

In fact, they have known this news for a long time, and it is not a new thing.

Now the emperor has taken it out and said that there is only one purpose, that is, to finalize this matter.

"Your Majesty, does this knighthood give an iron coupon?" Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the ministry, was the first to speak.

The so-called iron coupon, that is, the Danshu iron coupon, is also called the gold medal for avoiding death, and the main role of this thing is actually to represent the hereditary replacement of the title. If the knighthood is given an iron coupon, it means that the title can be passed down from generation to generation.

If there is no iron coupon, it means that it is a downgraded knight, and each generation is downgraded by one level.

"Those who have made great contributions to the country, of course, must give iron scrolls!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Wang Guoguang and said with a smile.

The country has a great merit to give iron rolls, and those who don't have it will not be given iron coupons, so everyone will understand. This time, although Qi Jiguang sealed the Marquis of Dingbei, there was still no iron coupon, which represented the emperor's attitude.

"No objection!" Wang Guoguang stopped speaking after saying this.

In fact, in addition to sounding good, such a knighthood is not as good as a hereditary military position.

The hereditary military position is passed down from generation to generation and can be eaten by children and grandchildren, but the hereditary military position is also a military household, and this hat cannot be taken off, and the status is poor. The title is different, although the reputation of the nobles is not good, but the status of the people is high.

Although it is a downgraded lord, the son of the marquis can still leave an earl!

It is true that there is no real job, but the significance of the title is absolutely extraordinary. In fact, doing this is also good for the imperial court, although it will cost a little money, but people should always be rewarded for their hard work.

Compared with giving hereditary military positions, the disadvantages of knighthood are much less, and as for the disaster after being knighted, it is an exception, and it is much easier to deal with.

For those who are soldiers, it is a knighthood, from a big-headed soldier to a nobleman, who doesn't want it? It is estimated that no one will object.

"No objection to the ministers!"

Neither the Cabinet nor the Six Scholars objected, and all voted in favor.

The courtiers in front of Zhu Yijun were in a very comfortable mood, isn't this the result he wants? Now Zhu Yijun finally understands why many leaders like to use their own people, even if this person is capable, he can't use it if he is not his own person.

Because at the critical moment, your own people are reliable, and you won't do bad things because of some messy reasons.

I have been using these people for so many years, and I have finally seen results.

In fact, whether it was Shen Shixing or the others present, whether it was knighthood or hereditary military positions, it did not have much impact on them. This thing basically has nothing to do with them, even if they are the descendants of Enyin, they are also Enyin Jinyiwei, or Enyin is studying in the country.

Taking the path of the imperial examination, this is the choice of their descendants, replacing the hereditary official position with a knighthood, of course, they can see the benefits.

Among these people present, there are no pedantic people, and no one will just think about suppressing the generals and ignore the right thing. Although these people have such and such problems, they still have ideals and ambitions in their bones.

Chen Wei may think more, but he has no bottom line, and catering to the emperor is what he does.

"Okay, then the cabinet will come up with a charter to restore the barons and viscounts, and reward the meritorious soldiers this time with knighthoods." Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded: "Now let's talk about the second thing." ”

Saying that, Zhu Yijun picked up the fold in his hand, and said with a smile: "You all know about the tax department, right?" ”

Everyone nodded, of course they knew, and this matter had been in an uproar for a while.

"Then what do you Aiqing think?" Zhu Yijun's gaze swept over everyone and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the tax department of Chenjue is doing a good job." Chen Wei was the first to stand up and said: "Businessmen are very profitable, and there is no way of sages in their hearts, if they are not restrained, they will inevitably cause endless disasters." The business certificate of the tax department can be checked and held accountable, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Everyone looked at Chen Wei, this one really has no bottom line!

Everyone present knew that this incident was not a businessman's business, did Daming have a simple businessman? Even if there were, it was those small households, real big deals, and none of them were real businessmen.

The business certificate is not the key, the key is the real-name system of the merchant, this is the worst place, Chen Wei also knows, but he pretends to be stupid.
