Chapter 207: Suicide

And Liu Shouyou really lived up to Zhu Changluo's expectations, and this opportunity came so quickly that he was caught off guard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Regarding the change of commercial tax, it has almost been negotiated with Liu Shouyou under the auspices of Zhao Shizhen, after all, there is Zhu Changluo's unlimited concession behind his back, and in the case of one-sided downfall, the negotiation must be very fast, of course, the bigger reason is because it is autumn now, that is to say, it is time to collect autumn grain, and commercial tax has always been collected along with the field tax.

If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will be delayed until the next year, I have to say that although Liu Shouyou's character is not very good, but he still has the ability, almost the next day, Shen Tongzhi, who manages taxes in the government, took a group of people to the palace, planning to set up a tax department according to Zhu Changluo's intentions.

For this old man, Zhu Changluo didn't even want to deal with him, and directly threw him to Zhao Shizhen to deal with, and he himself had other important things......

Now the sky has gradually become colder, so the place of discussion has also been moved from the main hall to the warm pavilion, but what is unusual is that the person sitting in front of Zhu Changluo today is not a subordinate official in his palace, but his own uncle who is wearing a flying fish suit and is magnificent, Wang Daoheng of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei.

"How did my uncle remember to come to my little nephew today? Could it be that things are looking at something? ā€

In front of his family, Zhu Changluo didn't take a shelf, found a comfortable position on the soft chair, and looked at Wang Daoheng lazily and said.

Who in this world do you want to find black materials? In this skill, if Jin Yiwei says second, I'm afraid no one dares to call it first.

Since his uncle is in charge of the Ping'an Mansion, Zhu Changluo is naturally unscrupulous and uses his power for personal gain, and has been secretly searching for Liu Shouyou's black materials, but unfortunately, this guy is a strange thing, and he keeps making small mistakes and big mistakes.

There are a lot of black materials under the buttocks, but they are all trivial things that seem trivial to the court, but it is not enough to bring him down!

You must know that at this point in Liu Shouyou, no matter what his background is, he is the prefect of a place, and it is not so easy to fall, not to mention the support behind those businessmen.

"Your Highness is wise, if I hadn't taken his handle, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the face to come back to His Highness!"

Wang Daoheng smiled and said.

However, Zhu Changluo didn't care, he had heard this more than ten times, but every time it was something not big or small, and it didn't have much practical value at all.

Seeing his nephew's expression like this, Wang Daoheng's face turned red, but he continued to speak.

"Your Highness, this time the old man really didn't lie to you! This time, Liu Shouyou really killed himself, usually he used his position to give the Liu family some convenience, but this time the Liu family didn't know what evil nature he had committed, and he actually hit the idea on the official bank......"

"Official silver?"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, he sat up straight, and finally straightened up.

"Yes, here's the thing, Jinyiwei has a few brothers in the shadows who guard the official warehouse treasury, they found that the silver vault has been in and out very frequently in the past few months, so they reported it, the old man felt that this matter was unusual, so he ordered them to sneak in to investigate, and found that most of the silver in the official warehouse had disappeared!"

Wang Daoheng also became serious and said slowly.

Although in the eyes of most people, Jinyiwei is wearing a flying fish suit, carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and bullying the people in fresh clothes, but in fact, Jinyiwei's duty is to supervise the world, so high-profile and public, what else to supervise?

Such an image as in folklore is actually only true of the brocade guards in charge of the emperor's honor guard in the palace, and other than that, there are far more brocade guards in the hidden shadows than anyone imagined.

They may just be pawns of peddlers, and they will not use the identity of Jinyiwei in their lives, but they can become a dense net, covering all the news in the world.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhu Changluo for the time being, he is more concerned about what Wang Daoheng said at the moment, you know, no matter which dynasty it is, embezzlement of public funds is not a trivial matter!

The so-called official silver, in fact, is to maintain the expenditure of government departments need to be two silver, the Ming Dynasty's tax system is different from the previous dynasties, after the tax is collected, there is a large part of it is directly left in the government as the official silver, and this part of the official silver is generally managed by the prefect, the government with the governor, and the government pushes the officials.

If Liu Shouyou really dared to embezzle the official bank, it would be fun!

"Uncle, tell me more!"

Zhu Changluo gathered his mind and asked.

And Wang Daoheng didn't take it seriously, and opened his mouth after tidying up his language.

"Your Royal Highness, according to the old man's inquiry, this silver tael should have been misappropriated to the Liu family by Liu Shouyou without authorization, because not long ago, the Liu family had partnered with the Li family in Fuzhou Mansion to secretly send a big ship overseas, which was full of silk cloth, and the old man finally determined that those cloths were almost all the cloth of the Liu family at that time, and they should have returned two months ago, but for some reason they have not come back until now, presumably the Liu family can't support it, so they moved the official bank to save the emergency!"

This can be regarded as an explanation, the Ming Dynasty is different from a certain Tartar who closed off the country, in fact, in the nearly 200-year history of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been communication with overseas, and Zheng He's trip to the West is needless to say.

Even later, after the people were forbidden to go to the sea because of the plague of the Japanese invaders, it was only forbidden for the people to go to the sea, and the government still had some maritime transportation, and as for his grandfather, Emperor Muzong, he fully opened the civil sea ban and allowed private people to sell the east and the west.

Therefore, shipping has become a major way for merchants to make a fortune, and most of the goods transported by sea are silk, porcelain and tea.

It can almost be said that as long as something like silk porcelain can cross the ocean to reach the other side of the ocean, it will immediately be a hundred times more profitable, so even if the sea is turbulent and unfathomable, there are still countless merchants who go forward and follow.

It's just that what Zhu Changluo didn't expect was that the Liu family actually got a kick in it, and it seemed that it was still a rhythm of deep feet in the mud!

"However, the Liu family is really bold, with so much silk, aren't they afraid that they won't be able to come back?"

Zhu Changluo sighed slightly, you know, according to what Wang Daoheng said, this time the silk exported by the Liu family is full of a big boat, and if you gamble on your life like this, aren't you afraid of something happening?

"Your Highness doesn't know, this Liu family's voyage to sell silk is not once or twice, and there have been mistakes before, but most of them are in danger, but this time I don't know what happened, there was no news for two months, and as soon as this autumn arrived, the people began to buy winter clothes, and the demand for cloth increased, so the Liu family's silver deposit was probably not enough!"

Wang Daoheng had already inquired about the joints here, and said with a slight smile.

Zhu Changluo nodded, this is also, although it is autumn now, but it will not be long before there will be a round of cloth boom, after all, the people have a harvest in the field, and their pockets are bulging, so naturally they should add two pieces of clothing, and the Liu family went to sea in the summer, if nothing else, it should be just enough to come back with a large sum of silver before the peak season, and then support it to make a lot of money in this peak season, who knows that there will be unforeseen circumstances on this day, this ship is nine times out of ten is an accident, even if it can come back, it will not be able to catch up with the peak season.

Therefore, the Liu family took the risk and embezzled the official bank......

But it doesn't matter, what happened to the Liu family's ship, and whether it can come back, Zhu Changluo doesn't care, what he cares about is that the opportunity to bring down the Liu family has finally come......
