Extra, extra!

Chen Rentu has returned to Beijing!

Chen Lifu had just returned home, and before he had time to go to the Yamen to take a shift, he reported to his immediate boss, the director of the Grain Collection Department, what he had found during his inspection of Zhejiang, and some of the tax issues he had dealt with.

"I heard that this cool official went to Zhejiang, and he made Zhejiang bloody and bloody, and the world is difficult," in a certain teahouse, several gorgeously dressed men sighed while drinking tea.

"That is, Chen Lifu and other gangsters have been able to sit firmly in the inspection office for several years, are the adults above all blinded!"

"What are you blinded about, that's someone supporting Chen Lifu, I heard that there have been adults in the court who openly impeached Chen Lifu at cabinet meetings several times, but they were all refuted by that Qian Aoli, if there was no Qian Aoli to support this, how could he be so arrogant!"

"Yes, compared to gangsters like Chen Lifu, Qian Aoli is the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people, and he doesn't know how much he has deceived the Son of Heaven, he really deserves to die!"

When these people were talking, their voices were a little loud, and at this time, there were also a few people in the room next to them who listened to their conversation with their ears pricked up!

There aren't many people in the next room, just three, a young man, a middle-aged man, and an elderly man, young and middle-aged!

But the old man and the middle-aged man, although they were also sitting, looked more restrained, and looked at the young man from time to time, as if they were worried about something.

At this time, I only heard the young man say: "Old Qian, it seems that your reputation outside is not very good, you listen, they all say that you have brought disaster to the country and the people!" ”

At this time, the middle-aged man sitting beside him looked helpless: "In the past few years, the young tax presiding officer has offended a lot of people!" ”

Then his expression changed to panic: "It's just that the little one is really wronged!" ”

The elderly man on the side also smiled: "I can share the worries of the young master, is it possible to wronged you!" ”

The middle-aged man had a straight face: "Dao Chief, if you say this, you can live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I didn't say that because of this wrong, it is my duty to do things for the young master, but they said that I deceived my superiors and subordinates, this must have wronged me!" ”

Hearing that he seemed to continue to say something to justify, the young man directly pressed his hand slightly: "Okay, don't call it a grievance!" ”

Listening to the names between them, you can know that these people are none other than Li Xuan, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Tang Empire, Liu Bagou and Qian Aoli, the ministers on duty in the imperial study, today Li Xuan is idle, and he came out to shop, which is considered a private visit to Weifu, and it happened that he heard outsiders talking about Qian Aoli and Chen Lifu in this teahouse.

But although it is said to be a grievance, Qian Aoli feels that he is really wronged, but he is happy with this grievance!

Why do you say grievances, because if you say who is the biggest backstabber in the Tang Empire, it must be Qian Aoli, as for Chen Lifu, it can't be ranked, at most he is a small trumpet backbiter!

The purpose of the Ministry of Taxation is to ensure that taxes are collected in accordance with the law, and if you collect taxes, people in the world must have a lot of dissatisfaction, after all, no one wants to let the tax part of the money they earn!

What everyone wants is the tinkle of the poor of the imperial court, and our landlords and businessmen are so rich that they are so rich that they are called prosperous!

And what the tax department is doing now is that when you landlords and businessmen make money, they will give a part to the imperial court, and people will definitely not be happy, and they will scold the tax department every day, scold Qian Lili and Chen Lifu, and they are taken for granted.

However, in fact, many of the policies of the Ministry of Taxation are not carried out by the Ministry of Taxation itself, and Qian Qili himself is at most a person in charge on the surface, in fact, these policies were put forward by the Son of Heaven and implemented by the Ministry of Taxation.

For example, some time ago, the tax rate of the raw silk industry was raised, that is, the Son of Heaven personally spoke, saying that the raw silk industry belongs to the luxury jewelry industry, and the existing tax rate is too low, and it should be increased by a part.

As a result, the Ministry of Taxation did just that, raising the tax rate and letting the inspection department strictly investigate the raw silk industry, but the raw silk merchants outside were caught and scolded by the Ministry of Taxation, and it is rumored that even in Qian Aoli's hometown, the local gentry and merchants were not proud of Qian Aoli at all, but were ashamed of him!

There is no way, who made Qian Qili the largest traitor in the entire empire at present, and the tax department he led is also the most hated institution by the world.

It doesn't matter what the facts are, but that's how outsiders see it.

But behind all this, who is in control of the overall situation?

It's the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan!

It's not nice to say, Qian Aoli is actually a knife in Li Xuan's hand, who to cut, can the knife decide for himself?

At this time, a few gentry and businessmen who were talking next door naturally didn't know that what they said was listened to by the Imperial Saint of Heaven, but even if they were heard by Li Xuan, there was actually nothing.

Li Xuan naturally wouldn't make a big deal just because he casually heard someone say a few words outside, and then come up with something for people to investigate, and then put people in prison, after all, there are some things that can be listened to, not taken seriously.

In this teahouse, after listening to the people in the wing room next door blowing the cow for more than half an hour, Li Xuan got up and left, preparing to return to the palace and end today's private visit to Weifu.

But he also thought that he would come out again in a few days, he still liked this teahouse, not because the tea was good or not, and whether the environment was good, but because he could hear some things he wanted to hear in this teahouse, so as to understand the world more truly.

On the surface, this teahouse was opened by an ordinary businessman, but behind it was an industry belonging to the Survey and Statistics Division of the Hanlin Academy, and its main purpose was to collect public opinion in the market.

To put it bluntly, the supervisor heard about it, even if Li Xuan himself came over occasionally, in fact, what he did was no different from eavesdropping.

This is something that neither Liu Bagou nor Qian Aoli knows!

After going out, he got into the carriage, and the group was ready to go back, sitting in the carriage as at other times, he sat in the carriage and then observed the surroundings with his eyes.

If it is an ordinary person, he can't see anything from these streets, and he thinks it's just an ordinary street, but Li Xuan's words are that he can see a lot of things behind him from the street.

For example, the shops on both sides of the street, what are the goods sold, how much is the price, and then look at the appearance of the city on the street, and then look at the people's dress and attitude on the street, from these, in fact, you can see a lot of things.

For example, in the middle of winter, if most of the pedestrians on the street are wearing thin clothes or patched padded jackets, then it is basically certain that something is wrong with the economy.

For example, if there are a lot of garbage heaps on the streets, needless to say, the work of the city's appearance will definitely be left behind.

If you want to really understand the state of your empire, you have to see it with your own eyes, hear it with your own ears, and understand the real life conditions of the people!

Just look at the report, you can't see it!

Of course, even if you watch and listen, it is possible that what you watch is fake, and what you listen to is fake!

If Li Xuan went to visit some people's families with great fanfare, he could be 100% sure that what he saw and heard was fake!

Even if he knew that it was fake, Li Xuan would occasionally go to condolence and inspect!

Why, because this is a show, a political necessity!

The Tang Dynasty newspaper needs to publish the Son of Heaven's cordial condolences to the families of the martyrs on a certain day, but in fact, Li Xuan himself knows that the objects he goes to condolences are all selected by thousands of people, and everything he does, sees and hears, is all for the sake of political propaganda, basically don't expect to see any good things.

In fact, if one is chosen casually during the public condolences and inspections, and then Li Xuan sees a lot of problems, then Li Xuan will definitely be furious.

This kind of frenzy is not aimed at these problems!

It's aimed at the ignorance of the people below, such an important political propaganda occasion, you make a bunch of bad things out, what do you want to prove? Proof that the empire under my rule is bad?

Is there a little political consciousness, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized or not, and if you want to positively publicize it, do you want to let the Tang Dynasty newspaper publish the dawn of the Tang Dynasty, and the people are living in dire straits?

What do you want to do, do you want to say that I am a faint king?

To put on a show, you must have the consciousness of show, and to publicize it positively, don't mess around!

Therefore, public condolences and inspections basically cannot find any problems, but this does not mean that Li Xuan does not know what is wrong.

Microservice private interview, this is actually just a small source channel, more news channels are still the public opinion report of the Survey and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy!

Hantong's main business is counter-espionage, counter-conspiracy and so on.

After all, in addition to the rebellion of simple political and military ministers, if it is a civil unrest, there must be a deep-seated reason behind it.

For example, natural and man-made disasters!

Natural disasters can't be helped, but man-made disasters can be monitored and dealt with in advance.

Because of business needs, public opinion monitoring is very important to Hantong, and these public opinion monitoring reports will finally go to Li Xuan's hands for Li Xuan to see.

These public opinion monitoring reports are actually talking about some trivial things, such as the price of meat on the market, or the price of grain, and the closure of a factory in a certain industrial zone because of poor management, resulting in a large number of workers losing their jobs.

But these small things are what Li Xuan attaches the most importance to, and he asked Hantong to hand over a price report of each province every month, especially the price report of food.

There are also a lot of other messy public opinion monitoring reports, basically every day Hantong will send a report over, and the first thing Li Xuan sees when he works every day is Hantong's report.

This kind of Hantong daily report is, to a certain extent, a newspaper that only Li Xuan reads alone!

For this special newspaper that only Li Xuan can read alone, and he can only read alone.

The Survey and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy has more than 15,000 direct employees and more than 40,000 part-time employees throughout the empire, and it continues to collect all kinds of messy news, neighbor fights, cats and dogs are all news they need to collect.

Then these messages are summarized, analyzed, and summarized various reports, and finally these reports will be transmitted to Jinling City through the post station system, and the Hantong of Jinling City will sort out and summarize them, and make a daily report and submit them to the Imperial Palace!

But just looking at Hantong's report, many aspects are still not intuitively understood, so sometimes when there is nothing to do, Li Xuan also comes out and personally goes to the market to understand the most real situation.

Therefore, the private interview for him is different from the private interview of other emperors, and the private interview of other emperors is mostly for fun, but for Li Xuan, this is also part of the job.

Of course, after work, you also need to adjust one or two, so sometimes Li Xuan will also go to the Qinhuai River to pay a private visit to Weifu.

Li Xuan has been there a few times, and once he took Wang Wenhua with him, and after Wang Wenhua accompanied him once, he was on his mind, what he said two days ago, in order to ensure the healthy development of the entertainment and cultural industry, he was going to hold an Oiran competition in Qinhuai River.

What he said was to make Li Xuanlong's heart happy!

What does it mean to be a loyal servant?

This is a loyal servant!

Isn't it a good courtier to solve problems for the Son of Heaven?

Civil officials, govern the country well, don't cause turmoil every day, this is to solve problems.

Generals, winning battles and expanding territories is a solution to problems.

Close ministers, let the Holy Son of Heaven live every day happily and take care of the dragon's body, this is also to solve problems.

But those who can share the worries of the Holy Son of Heaven are loyal ministers!

As the so-called industry has no distinction between high and low, this loyal minister, naturally there is no distinction between high and low.

Therefore, Li Xuan has always been more pleasing to Wang Wenhua, although he knows that this person has no fart skills in government affairs, but this does not prevent Li Xuan from leaving Wang Wenhua in the imperial study, and he has the name of the minister who walks in the imperial study.

And Wang Wenhua is also self-aware, knowing that he is not good at dealing with those messy government affairs, so although he is said to be the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, he never takes care of things, and the matter is handed over to the two servants of the Ministry of Agriculture, after all, he is also worried that one day he will be killed because of some negligence!

Because he basically doesn't deal with practical affairs on weekdays, Wang Wenhua is also very idle, thinking about how to make the Son of Heaven even happier all day long1

For example, last year, that is, when the court discussed the repair of the palace in the ninth year of Xuanping, the courtiers were all talking about rebuilding the dilapidated palace, but Wang Wenhua knew that the Son of Heaven had long been not interested in the dilapidated palace of Jinling City in the former Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would not have been delayed for several years and had not been repaired.

So he proposed at the time that this palace was the former Ming Palace after all, and it was already dilapidated, and it was not very good to repair it, and it could not reflect the superiority of the Tang Dynasty.

So he suggested that it would be that dilapidated anyway, so simply not repair it and directly expand the royal annex.

This move made Li Xuanlong's heart happy, and he approved this suggestion on the spot!

Now, Wang Wenhua is preparing to hold the Oiran Contest again!
