Because this was the first pivotal meeting that Wu Meiniang had returned, it lasted all morning, and it was not until the bell rang at noon that the meeting ended.

After this meeting, Han Yi went to the household department again.

"Zhang Shilang, your Zhang family must not have had a good time recently."

When Han Yi saw Zhang Daxiang, he laughed teasingly.

Zhang Daxiang was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Shang Shuling already knows?" ”

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "We were still discussing this matter just now. ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "I really hate that lice, in fact, Daqi doesn't want to do this, and who would have thought that this trouble would be so big, causing everyone to criticize our Zhang family, this is really unreasonable." By the way, how did the imperial court decide? ”

Han Yi said: "It is strictly forbidden for officials to cut their hair. ”

Zhang Daxiang was stunned and said, "No one in this official wants to cut his hair." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "This just shows an attitude, that is, the imperial court is still on the side of the officials, but this hair is people's, and it is impossible to completely prohibit people from cutting their hair, this is impossible to do, and forcing this will only lead to a decline in everyone's trust in the law." What if the situation of your Zhang family appears again? Craftsmen cut or not, if you don't cut, it will itch to death, but if you want to cut, then it is illegal again, and what about those monks? It's going to create a lot of injustice. The queen still thinks that she has to do nothing. ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "It should be done." ”

Han Yi sat down and said: "But this matter is not under the control of our household department, we should focus on the Taiyuan plan now, the imperial court has decided that after the currency is issued next year, it will be allocated to the Taiyuan plan." ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "According to the formula you gave, we have calculated that five million yuan of currency can be issued next year." ”

Han Yi nodded slightly and said, "I'll show me those materials later." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "Oh, earlier, the tax bureau sent a piece of information, about the two years ago, they found more than 300 people to evade taxes. ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "It's just that!" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "This is already a lot, if you want to count it, this is only the first year, I thought that no one dared to commit a crime against the wind." ”

Han Yi said: "I dare to say that there is no one in Chang'an. ”

Zhang Daxiang was surprised: "How do you know." ”

Han Yi said: "Because no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, but many areas can't feel the determination of the imperial court, and there will always be people who will test where the bottom line of the imperial court is, so I said that three hundred people are a bit less, I believe there must be more than that, but our ability is limited, and we can't catch them all." Who are the people involved? ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "Among them, there are twelve officials involved, and the rest are some nobles, big landowners, squires, and some grain merchants. ”

"Expected."

Han Yi said: "What does the law say, then let's do things according to the rules." In addition, if the evidence is conclusive, the list will be given to the Shizu Daily and the Datang Daily, and the family background of these tax evaders will be published, and their credit ratings will be reduced, all of which will have to be announced to the world. ”

Zhang Daxiang reminded: "Isn't this too ruthless, many of them are people with heads and faces, let's warn them secretly." ”

Han Yi said: "But they do some shameless things, a person doesn't even talk about the most basic integrity, then their influence will only destroy the stability and development of the country, they don't want this face themselves, how much can we help, just do it." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let people arrange it." ”

Of course, these materials are conclusive evidence, and they cannot and will not be sent to the household department.

Zhang Daxiang directly asked people to send it to Datang Daily and Shizu Daily.

Datang Daily naturally doesn't matter, this is sent by Han Yirang, so no matter what it is, it has to be published. But the Shizu Daily is very entangled, because some of the people above are from the Shandong Shi family, isn't this an article scolding themselves.

But when they knew that Datang Daily would publish it, they decided to publish it as well.

Because if they don't publish it, the people will think that their scholars are all the same hill and cover each other, if the daily newspaper of the scholars takes the initiative to publish it, then they can still dissociate themselves from those people, that is just their personal behavior, not on behalf of our entire Shandong scholars.

This is the first batch of tax evaders, but in fact, it was all about last year's taxes, just because this ancient information is relatively slow.

Han Yi really did a thorough job, listing all the information of these tax evaders, what name, what background, where they live, what status they have in society, and how much tax evasion they have. It also includes the punishment for them, high fines, reducing the credit rating, some people will not even be guaranteed by the court for the next three years, the gold bank, the yuan bank directly blacklisted these people, anyway, let everyone not associate with him, this person has no credit, the most serious thing is to directly confiscate the land, you don't pay taxes, then the land is definitely not yours.

The Datang Daily and the Shizu Daily are both privately owned, and they are all posted on this, which shows that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

If this is changed, then the court will become untrustworthy.

The landlords, squires, and businessmen in Chang'an were all in a cold sweat after seeing this, they didn't think about tax evasion, because this is their habitual thinking, and the landlords have been trying their best to evade taxes, because they are also the ruling class, but they don't dare to commit crimes against the wind, and they are also thinking about how to deal with this stamp duty.

As a result, they didn't think of it, and this punishment came out.

It's a real shame.

Nowadays, people with some status still cherish their reputation very much on the surface, and if they go up like this, they will be embarrassed and thrown home.

They were all secretly glad that there was no chaos, otherwise, this Chang'an would not be able to stay.

However, the scholars were very supportive of the imperial court in doing so, because Confucianism attached great importance to the issue of integrity, and those who did not keep their promises should be dealt with in this way.

In addition, everyone is impressed by the tax bureau, the tax bureau has been very low-key since its establishment, most people don't know how many people are in the tax bureau, and they don't know what their names are, but suddenly, more than 300 tax evaders broke out, the tax amount is accurate to every penny, and they are not in Chang'an, mainly concentrated in the Huainan area, they don't know how this is investigated.

As a result, many large landlords hurried back to check their tax payment records, for fear that they would forget to pay any taxes, and if they were caught in this way, it would be a disaster.

This also reminds many people that this most basic integrity still needs to be talked about, the imperial court recognizes your private ownership of your land, allows you to annex, and you don't pay taxes, that's your fault.

Especially for businessmen, in fact, this is more for businessmen, because landlords still don't need to trade with people often, the most serious punishment for landlords is to confiscate land, generally to pay fines, but businessmen need to trade with people every day, they want to be on this list, then it's basically over.

The merchant became very cautious at this point, and such a mistake must not be made, because the merchant does not have to pay much tax at present, which is really unacceptable.

This has led directly to a phenomenon in which the business of accounting firms has skyrocketed.

At the same time, it also affected another thing, that is, the internal announcement of the imperial court, strictly prohibiting officials from cutting their hair, this news did not arouse the idea of many people, although there are still some ministers who are dissatisfied with this, but the haircuts are some craftsmen, in their eyes is very humble, since the queen and the cardinal ministers are in favor, then they can't compete with these bigwigs for this matter.

.....．

In a small forest in the north of the city, I saw four or five figures shuttling quickly inside, and the fight was in full swing.

And not far away, there were two people watching quietly.

These two are Han Yi and Peng Jing.

All along, it was Ono who was protecting Han Yi, but Ono had to start a family in the end, and it was impossible to protect Han Yi for a lifetime, and Han Yi had no such plans, so he asked people to help him train bodyguards early in the morning, and it was Ono and the four Kunlun slaves who fought in front.

The reason why Kunlun Nu was chosen is because Kunlun Nu is more loyal, which is also Han Yi's first requirement for bodyguards.

"Proprietor, there's something I think it's time to report to you!"

Peng Jing said suddenly.

Han Yi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Peng Jing said: "Our people have been waiting in front of that grave in Qianzhou for several years, but we have never seen anyone come to worship. ”

When Han Yi heard this, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and he said, "No one has ever gone before?" ”

Peng Jing nodded and said, "Our people are observing day and night, but we have never seen anyone there, and now the grave is overgrown with weeds." ”

Impossible! With what I know about her, even if she can let go of hatred, it is impossible for her to let go of her mother, after so many years, it is impossible for her not to worship her mother, or has she already been, but my people have not found out? Han Yi couldn't help frowning and thinking.

Suddenly, Ono shouted: "Brother Han! ”

Han Yi was stunned, looked up, and saw Ono running over sweating profusely, and said with a dissatisfied face: "They can't do it, they can't do it." ”

Han Yi smiled: "Why not? ”

Ono said: "They only know defense, and it's not fun to play well." ”

Han Yi smiled and said: "Ono, they are bodyguards, not killers, their duty is to protect me, of course defense is greater than offense, have you broken their defense?" ”

Ono was stunned, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

"Then I'm satisfied! You can't even break through Ono, and I'm sure there's no one in this world who can break through their defenses. ”

"That's not it, then the vulture might be able to defeat them."

"To deal with that guy, I don't need to use bodyguards, I can handle it myself." Han Yi smiled, handed over a wine jug, and said, "After the New Year, you will hurry up and return to Yangzhou with Meng Yao to get married, I am looking forward to our three brothers taking their son out to play." ”

Ono scratched his head and smiled shyly.

Han Yi said like Peng Jing again: "Let those people continue to stay there, and tell me in time if there is any news." ”

Peng Jing nodded and said, "I know." ”

Han Yi sat in the carriage, contemplating her eyebrows and thinking, now it seems that there are only two situations, the first is that Wang Xuan has expected that I may guess that she will go to worship her mother, so she did not go, or she used some method to avoid my knowledge, and the other is that she had an accident.

If it's the first one, it's even better, but if something happens to Wang Xuan, then who will she fall into?

Is it Your Majesty? It shouldn't be, Your Majesty has been staying in the palace all the time, if Wang Xuan is not summoned into the palace, there is no point in imprisoning Wang Xuan, and with His Majesty's person, he should not do this, and there is no need to do so. So the Queen? It's also unlikely, at that time, the situation at that time, the one who wanted to kill Wang Xuan the most was the queen, if His Majesty had the heart to protect Wang Xuan, then he would definitely guard against the queen, with His Majesty's means, if he didn't want the queen to know Wang Xuan's whereabouts, then he could still do it.

But if it weren't the two of them, who would it be?

Han Yi frowned, and suddenly his eyes widened, could it be the old fox? But he's dead, so why bother? But apart from His Majesty and the Empress, only the old fox knew everything about it, and if it was him, why did he do it? Alas... It's a haunting one.
