Chapter 256: Drag them to the vegetable market and behead them
The big 1 leap and 1 advance unfolded, and now Yuncheng is huge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I heard that Xiao Gao Xianggong did not arrest the fugitive households, and there was a group of obscene profiteers recruiting workers, so the black households in Jeju heard the wind and all began to move closer to the economic circle of Yuncheng.
After all, it is a capital crime for the escapees, so they are also very timid, and it is impossible for them all to rush in directly. They all ate the crabs with the courage first, and slowly others followed step by step.
In the past, they were all miserable people, and they could not bear the heavy tax labor and fled into the mountains, although they were not exploited, did not serve and did not pay taxes, but in fact their lives were quite hard, relying on hunting or farming by themselves, of course, there was no problem in having enough to eat. However, they had to face the liquidation of the government, and sometimes they were killed when the officers and soldiers ran slowly, and they were unlucky.
Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were very lazy and did not often come to clear them, but the price they paid for salt was too high, because they were black households and had no right to speak, so the black-hearted salt smugglers tripled and sold to them, and they could only endure it. In addition, the wild in this era is really not human, all kinds of fierce beasts raids, and even ants and poisonous insects can be fatal in minutes. Usually a small injury or illness can be dealt with with at a small cost in the city, but in the mountains in the wild, it is basically a fate waiting for death.
In view of these bad survival pressures, it was decided that they would be too stressful if they went it alone, so they would either be questioned by the government or go to Chao Gai's banner to rebel. That's where the root is.
At that time, Song Jiang set up a refugee camp according to Gao Fangping's instructions, mainly to house women and children captured in Erlongshan. But Song Jiang's ability to deceive people is really strong, and this has become a successful benevolent government, except for refugees, Song Jiang turned a blind eye, and many surrounding black households also mixed in.
This is a successful interception of Chao Gai's team. The current enclosure movement is the second strengthened version. As a result, the entire Jeju fugitives gathered around Chaoyun City.
Those are the consumer groups of the entire economic circle, which has led to a substantial increase in the demand for various goods, more frequent exchanges between vendors, a significant increase in commercial taxes, and a simultaneous increase in the business of money and protection fees. But at the same time, the food pressure in Yuncheng and the pressure on public security are increasing.
So after Song Jiang, Wang Qinfei, as the spokesperson of the gentry, presided over the work comprehensively. He had already seen a good start for the gentry this year, not to mention the subsequent pork profits, but only that the increase in their various business projects was very considerable.
Smuggling salt to the fugitives outside the city is the biggest profit and financial source for Wang Qinfei, because the excessive action has affected the interests of the salt and iron affairs, but for the stability of the fugitives outside the city, to ensure that they get basic relatively low-cost salt. Gao Fangping helped Wang Qinfei these sharks and leveled the officials of the salt and iron affairs.
Damn, the money to bribe them can't be used by the county treasury, it's Gao Fangping's private money. The wool comes out of the sheep, sooner or later, it will be sucked back from Wang Qinfei's grandsons, I will do the work of squeezing soybeans, and I will certainly not be soft when squeezing Wang Qinfei......
Tick tock-
Wang Qinfei took a group of directors to dial the plan in the county office and keep accounts.
When Gao Fangping walked in with his hands behind his back, these guys got up one after another, including Wang Qinfei.
"How's it going, are the April numbers out?" Gao Fangping walked casually, looking at the ledger from time to time.
Wang Qinfei said in a trembling voice: "Too ...... It's an exaggeration, the old man has been in power in Yuncheng for more than 20 years, and he has never encountered such a fierce situation, and he will create brilliance again in April. In April alone, thanks to the luxury tax on soap, coupled with the significant increase in the income from land sales, the tax on travel and residency, the tax amount in April exceeded the sum of the past two and a half years, and even exceeded the whole of Jeju by three times, with a tax of 270,000 yuan! ”
Wang Qinfei's voice was trembling, and all the priests were surprised, afraid that they would get the numbers wrong and be killed by the Great Demon King, so they were checking the calculations repeatedly.
There is really such an exaggeration, Yuncheng is a central county, with a population of more than 40,000, and the finance and taxation of the Wenbin period in the past were also in the middle and upper reaches, and when the year was good, the annual income was more than 40,000 and less than 50,000. But under Gao Fangping's rule, the income in April alone was 270,000 yuan.
Gao Fangping frowned, looked at Wang Qinfei with malicious intent, and said, "It sounds like a lot, but in fact, plus those who have been embezzled by you and your people, it should look better." ”
All of them looked embarrassed.
Wang Qinfei hurriedly shook his hand and said, "The minister has misunderstood, there is no such thing." ”
Gao Fangping put his arm around Lao Wang's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, if you don't make a move, it's definitely not your style." One person and two brothers, the water is too clear to raise fish, I know. Take the initiative to tell me how much you have eaten in the dark, and I will talk better. Otherwise, Lao Tzu smashed the cup as a number, and immediately sent the Yongle Army to martial law, seal the accounts and seal the warehouse, and Zhang Shuqing led people to enter the audit account, and then I will act according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. To be honest, don't look at me as a judge, but I'm not very familiar with the Great Song Law, but I remember one, an official who is corrupt for a thousand times is beheaded, and the master is familiar with the law, do you remember this? ”
Wang Qinfei thought that he had gotten better, but he didn't expect this grandson to turn his face and turn his face, and he was so frightened that he was about to have a heart attack, his face was red, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Don't die." Gao Fangping helped him sit down and gave him comfort, and said: "Your family is an official, if you die, your whole family will definitely be persecuted by me and seek to rob the family property, so no matter how much you embezzle, it is useless." ”
Puff puff puff -
Most of the rest began to spray tea, and the whole hall was like a fountain.
Wang Qinfei was going to have a heart attack, but now it was normal, and he was too scared to get sick.
Gao Fangping turned his head and instructed Shi Wengong: "Order, the Yongle Army is stationed under martial law, the treasury and all the account books are blocked, and all the relevant officials of the county government cannot leave, stay put, and cannot contact the outside world." ”
Some of them only collect the service fees of the masses like Song Jiang, which is commonly known as the unspoken rule, so they are not worried.
And a few of them were really frightened, kneeling on the ground together with a dead face, looking at Wang Qinfei as if asking for help.
Wang Qinfei sighed, also knelt on the ground and said: "That's it, here you cover the sky with one hand, you can only set the fire, I can't wait to light the lamp, the old man admitted, to tell the truth, the real income should be more than 300,000 yuan, and there is a layer and a half that I will wait for two and one to add five." ”
"you, old bastard! The old immortal vampire, he is so bold, I originally thought it would be a layer, and you dare to take a layer and a half! Gao Fangping pulled his beard and scolded: "Shaanxi 1 is thousands of miles away in the west of Chidi, and the situation in the southeast of the financial and taxation area is not optimistic. You have already poured a lot of money on the matter of salt, and you have also given you a living to make money, do you really not understand or pretend not to understand this autumn of critical survival? ”
"Decay...... Knowing that it was wrong, please know that the military minister spared this time. Wang Qinfei said in a low voice.
Gao Fangping walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, hesitated for a moment, turned to the other four kneeling people and asked, "Have you all admitted to taking it?" Or do you want me to send someone to check the accounts? ”
"I'll wait...... We'll admit it. They whispered.
"Drag it to the entrance of the vegetable market, hang up the sign of embezzling taxpayers' money, and make a decision!" Gao Fang waved his hand.
These grandsons were suddenly frightened and cried, Wang Qinfei didn't expect him to be so serious this time, and said with a change of color: "You can't ...... the princess."
"Why not!" Gao Fangping interrupted.
"It's going to break a lot of rules! Even if you want to investigate, at least wait for the old man to make some arrangements and explain it clearly to some people, and this will be handed over to the Criminal Division for review. Wang Qinfei said.
"Go to the damn punishment department, when the country is worried about internal and external troubles, behead a few corrupt officials, and who else do you need to explain? Shuibo Liangshan is rebelling, this is thanks to your policy! Yuncheng is now under military control and is in a state of war. Those who embezzle the Yongle Army's combat funds and salaries will be decided without discussion or consultation! Gao Fangping said: "Shi Wengong, why are you still stunned, don't you raise the account, what I said is not a military order?" ”
At this point, there was no way, Shi Wengong led people to take down the four scribes, dragged the four howling guys to the vegetable market entrance for execution.
This is a large corruption case, of course, not only a few of them are involved, but they are the main ones, and it is enough to behead them. And they are all Wang Qinfei's people, in the future, Wang Qinfei's tentacles will be less, and there will be deterrence, so the rest can be investigated slowly, but they are not in a hurry to kill again.
Gao Fangping stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Qinfei's skull, knocked his official hat away, pointed to his nose and said: "You are an old immortal with a big life, you have an official body, and you are still useful to me, so I won't trouble you this time, but the punishment is still necessary, and the county sentences: confiscate 5,000 acres of fertile land under your name and return it to the county government." Are you convinced? ”
"I am old and unconvinced, I have never heard of this kind of punishment, where is the law?" Wang Qinfei is about to have a heart attack again.
Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and said, "Old thing, do you really want to chew words with this official?" Think clearly, otherwise I won't kill you, but after I tie you up and catch you and go to the streets, pack them up and hand them over to Master Shi Wenbin, he can deal with them as he likes, as for your sons, I will strictly investigate, remember that a thousand people are only officials, but your sons are not officials. Actually, I'm not sure if they're clean or not, but do you dare to bet on it, Lord Bookkeeper? With your family style and education, as well as your indulgence in them, you and I are here to guess how many people in your family can survive under the laws of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Wang Qinfei sighed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you for the mercy of the military minister, 5,000 acres of fertile land will be transferred to the county government today, and in the future, the old man will keep an eye on the rule and no longer cause chaos to the minister." ”
"This is called talent!" Gao Fangping patted him on the shoulder, smiled and led people away from the county office.
It's okay, it's enough to pretend to be majestic this time, cut off four heads to practice courage, and grabbed 5,000 acres of fertile land. If they have a lot of fields, they might as well make more mistakes in the future, damn don't think that my pork is so good, if they know how to eat good-looking, the truth of fine water flows, it is not easy to find out if they only embezzle less than half a layer, and it is easy to get forgiveness after finding, but dare to make a layer and a half, when I am a fool, it seems that Lao Tzu does not have an account in his heart......
