Hearing the reward from the Son of Heaven, Li Zhi knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers are grateful!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Aiqing is flat!" ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the military attaches behind Li Zhi again and said, "Li Zhi's subordinates are also rewarded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and a eunuch stood up and took out a holy decree to read: "The commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, Fanjiazhuang garrison Li Xing, this time made a great contribution to killing slaves, and was promoted to the commander of the capital, and he actually taught Fanjiazhuang guerrillas. Li Xing's predecessor Fan Jiazhuang garrison post was revoked. ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that Fanjiazhuang was Li Zhi's hometown and knew that Li Zhi wanted to defend the industry here, so he set up a guerrilla position in Fanjiazhuang for Li Xing, and at the same time removed Li Xing's previous position as a garrison in Fanjiazhuang.

The money Li Zhi earned in Fanjiazhuang was used to raise soldiers, and it was all used to help Zhu Youzhen defend the world, and Zhu Youzhen was happy to see Li Zhi guarding Fanjiazhuang.

Li Zhi was very happy when he heard the appointment of the Son of Heaven.

Li Xing knelt down and thanked him.

The eunuch read again: "Tianjin Zuo Weiwei commanded Zheng Kaicheng, who had meritorious service in killing slaves, and was promoted to the commander of Zhengsanpinwei, and still took Li Zhijiading with him. ”

Zheng Kaicheng kowtowed to the ground and thanked the emperor.

There are more than 400 meritorious personnel in this Qingshankou victory, and the list of rewards is very long, and the eunuch has read it for a long time...

Back in Fanjiazhuang, Li Zhi had not yet gone to Tianjin General Military Mansion to take office, but he ushered in a wave of guests. Cha Dengbei, the governor of Tianjin, took all kinds of troops from Tianjin to visit Li Zhi in the Fanjiazhuang official hall -- now that Li Zhi has become the crown prince, Cha Dengbei took the initiative to visit Li Zhi without waiting for Li Zhi to come to visit him.

A large number of people with gift lists sat in the lobby of the Fanjiazhuang official hall.

Li Zhi made these people wait for a while, but it was too late. After entering the lobby, Li Zhi smiled and said, "You are so neat, there is a big matter!" ”

The officials did not answer Li Zhi's words, but stepped forward one by one and handed the gift list to Li Zhi. Li Zhi accepted those gift lists, and saw that these soldiers were quite generous, especially the governor Cha Dengbei, who actually gave Li Zhi a gift of two hundred taels of silver. You must know that this is the governor, speaking of which is the superior of Li Zhi, the general soldier.

Li Zhi put the gift list on the table, looked at these civil officials with a smile, and waited for them to speak.

Cha Dengbei coughed, opened the conversation, and said: "When the general soldier was the general of Tianjin West Road, he collected business taxes on Tianjin West Road. ”

Li Zhi smiled, knowing the intention of these civil officials, they had come to collectively question whether Li Zhi collected commercial taxes.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the relatives of the bureaucrats, literati and gentry were extensively engaged in business, and it can be said that the government and business were integrated. Li Zhi collected commercial taxes on Tianjin West Road, which was regarded as picking out the pockets of the bureaucrats and gentry. Therefore, when Li Zhi collected commercial taxes on Tianjin West Road, it caused a huge backlash, and the entire Ming officialdom was shaken, and the Qingliu gentry regarded Li Zhi as an enemy.

Li Zhifei tried his best to collect tens of thousands of taels of business taxes, and he had to pay a lot to the Son of Heaven, but he offended so many people. And Li Zhi now has the reputation of "exploiting businessmen", and when he arrived at the post of the Tianjin General Army, he immediately aroused the vigilance of the civil officials in Tianjin, and these civil officials came to Fanjiazhuang to find Li Zhi, and asked Li Zhi to make it clear before Li Zhi made trouble, whether he would collect commercial taxes in Tianjin.

If Li Zhi said "I want to collect it", it is estimated that these civil officials and gentry will immediately attack Li Zhi collectively and use various means to attack Li Zhi. Li Zhi, the chief soldier, had not yet taken office, did not understand the situation in various parts of Tianjin, and did not have the handle of the civil officials in Tianjin. Speaking of which, the authority of the general army is to manage its own thousands of battalions and control all kinds of soldiers and horses, and it does not have the authority to manage civil affairs, let alone the duty of handling taxes. If Li Zhi fights with these civil officials for the purpose of collecting business taxes, Li Zhi is purely breaking the law.

Li Zhi smiled, returned the gift sheet in his hand to the civil officials one by one, and said: "Your big gift, Li Zhi doesn't dare to accept it, so let's return it to you!" ”

A group of civil officials, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces darkened one by one. Chaden Bei snorted coldly and said, "So the general soldier still has to collect business taxes in Tianjin?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "No, who said that I want to collect business taxes in Tianjin!" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the civil officials looked at each other, and they couldn't react at once. Li Zhi, who was a businessman, suddenly became sexual?

In fact, Li Zhi had a plan in his heart for Tianjin's affairs, and he had to take his time step by step, but he didn't want to fight against the entire Tianjin bureaucracy as a general soldier as soon as he came up. If he confronts these civil officials, Li Zhi's foundation in Tianjin will be very fragile, and Li Zhi will not dare to leave Tianjin for a moment.

Commercial tax, Li Zhi will collect it sooner or later, but not immediately. Step by step, we must first establish a firm foundation in Tianjin, find out the situation clearly, grasp the handle of these bureaucrats, and then start a war with these bureaucratic cliques.

The civil officials looked at each other a few times, a little proud. Everyone came in a group, and the momentum was surging, which still frightened Li Zhi and made him dare not collect business taxes.

But this Li Zhi has always been cunning, and he has lied a lot. Now he has not yet taken up his post in the Tianjin General Military Office, and his foundation is not stable. There is no basis for his words, what if he gains a firm foothold after a while and starts to levy commercial taxes?

The officials sat in the lobby and muttered one after another.

Li Zhi just pretended not to see the small movements of these officials, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the clear Longjing, and sighed.

The officials finally formed a unified opinion and reported to Cha Dengbei. Chadenbei listened to his subordinates sideways and nodded.

Waiting for the reported soldier to leave, Cha Dengbei coughed and said: "Lord Zuodu, we are all dignified and upright officials of the imperial court, and we should not make any special requests, but the fact of whether or not to collect commercial taxes is a matter of great importance, and we can't afford not to pay attention." Since the general soldier said that he would not collect commercial taxes, can he write it down in black and white? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi changed the expression on his face, and he was about to have a seizure.

He snapped and slammed his hand on the coffee table, and shouted: "Write it down in black and white? Are you the people of the market who are at your disposal? ”

"Whether to collect commercial taxes or not, the decision of the imperial court is not something that officials such as us can decide. Wouldn't it be an offense to the imperial power to let the official write such a note? ”

Li Zhi snapped on the coffee table again, and shouted: "Cha Dengbei, what are your intentions?" ”

Cha Dengbei was slapped on the table by Li Zhi, and his face turned pale with fright, and he almost knelt on the ground.

What is the truth of what Li Zhi said, Cha Dengbei didn't understand, but Li Zhi was angry, the consequences of this matter were very serious, and Cha Dengbei understood.

Who is Lee Sik? Prince Taibao! Ride into the palace gate! Is that what an ordinary general soldier can compare? Before the victory at Qingshankou, he defeated Yang Sichang in one sentence. Now that he has won another great victory at Qingshankou, the Son of Heaven trusts him for twelve points. In order to help Li Zhi keep Fanjiazhuang's property, the Son of Heaven specially set up a garrison in Fanjiazhuang for Li Zhi's younger brother Li Xing. When Li Xing was promoted, he removed the garrison official post and gave Li Xing a guerrilla official post.

Cha Dengbei believed that as long as Li Zhi wrote a note, the Son of Heaven would remove himself as governor.

If the civil officials in Tianjin can still put a little pressure on Li Zhi when they get together, Cha Dengbei alone can't fight Li Zhi no matter what.

Cha Dengbei's face turned pale, and he said with a smile: "The general is angry, angry!" ”

"It's okay not to write this note! Don't write it! (To be continued.) )
