On the way back to Liu's Mansion to report the news, Diao Ying soon discovered that Nanzhen Fusi's action was not only aimed at one or two companies, but the operation was fully rolled out in the capital.

Nanzhen Fusi dispatched a lot of people, but, from what Diao Ying saw all the way, it seems that there is only one real fan, Jiang Song, and the others are just some market gangsters.

However, those former scoundrels in the market, at this time, all of them claimed to be subordinates of the Human Rights Protection Division, standing tall and arrogant, and proudly stepped on the threshold of those who they did not dare to look at.

If it was in the past, for such a group of people, the shopkeepers would not look at it, although they were businessmen, but they were businessmen with people above, and their status was noble!

But now, every shopkeeper is full of smiles, and the words are full of flattery and flattery, no way, although these guys are just the subordinates of the plague god, they still can't afford to offend!

No matter how noble his identity is, can he still be more noble than his uncle? No matter how high the status is, can it be higher than Han Shangshu?

The lessons of the past are there, who dares to ignore them? Even if you really want to turn your face, you have to decide for yourself, if these slaves cause such a big trouble for their masters, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to die.

Fortunately, there was a three-day deadline, and most of the shopkeepers were the same as Diao Ying, so they said that they had sent away the people from the Rights Protection Division, and then went home to report the news. Of course, there are always some exceptions when there are too many people, and there are some who don't report the news, but these people don't want to turn their faces, but their authority is high enough, so they directly took the silver and went to Zhenbao Zhai.

It is said that those who pay the money first have benefits, and they may charge interest if they pay late, in this case, they will pay sooner or later, and these more shrewd shopkeepers pondered it and simply went directly to pay the money. Although the plague god is terrible, he generally doesn't lie about it, and let's go and see what the benefits are.

"Annihilation, what a Annihilation!"

In the large and small yamen of the capital, the deep courtyards of mansions, and even the Qinglou wine shops, countless people let out the same roar. It's really too much of a deception, it's just a matter of bewitching the king, and now it's actually bullying the heads of the scholars, and you have to make your own family pay a fine?

You know, you're a scholar! I don't even have to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and someone dares to let me pay any copyright fees! What a ridiculous act? Collecting money from the scholars, being able to do this kind of thing is really unprecedented!

"Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor!" Liu Ji, the right attendant of the household, was angry and angry, his face was red, and his body was shaking violently, and he couldn't even cover his wide robe.

"Scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, how can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to collect money from scholars? What's more, the Son of Heaven does not compete with the people for profit, why did the emperor suddenly put away this such a copyright fee? Demons! That Xie Hong is a demon, he must have bewitched the emperor, yes, it must be! ”

"Sir, what ...... We...... Got back to him, or did you just ignore it? Diao Ying trembled and made a hint. Because there is a precedent to follow, even if Nanzhen Fusi invites tea, it is the master himself, so he is not very nervous, what he is afraid of is just Liu Ji's anger.

"Do you need to say it? Of course......" Liu Ji waved his arms and shouted angrily, completely losing his calm bearing.

However, after all, he has been an official for many years, and he did not lose his mind impulsively, and halfway through his words, he stopped and groaned, and after a while, he raised his head and ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare the car, this official is going to the yamen." ”

"Yes, sir." Diao Ying's heart is like a mirror, his master is going to ventilate with his colleagues.

Unity is strength, and Liu Ji is not the only one who has this concept. At this time, the cars at the gates of the various yamen in the capital were flowing like dragons, whether they were on duty or not, officials of all sizes gathered together, and the scene was extremely grand.

But under such a grand scene, there is an unusual atmosphere, although there are many carriages and horses, but there is silence in front of the yamen. Even inside the yamen, there were only a few roars at the beginning, and then they all fell silent.

In the end, when the adults came out, their faces were a little pale, and although the anger in their eyes was undiminished, there was a hint of depression.

"Master......" Diao Ying's voice was softer, and he was even more careful than when he was in the mansion just now.

"Go back to the house...... Liu Ji commanded in a low voice, and then added in a lower voice: "...... On the other hand, the Rights Protection Division paid this year's share according to the method of installments......"

Although the curtain of the carriage was lowered and the light inside was very dim, Diao Ying clearly saw the corners of his master's mouth twitching, revealing a wry smile that was more ugly than crying.

...... "Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, the two uncles and Han Shangshu play this role." Upstairs in Zhenbao Zhai, Xie Hong confidently explained the overall idea of this operation.

"Oh, big brother, did you calculate it at the beginning?" The audience is not Ma Yongcheng, Ma Gongcheng is just registering downstairs to collect money, the trend of billiards is a little bigger, so there are many people who follow the trend, and there are also installment payments, Ma Gonggong has to be painful and happy, and he is busy with a smile.

"Of course, the request you made at the court meeting was for today." Xie Hong nodded, except for the biggest goal, this layout is the grandest since he entered Beijing.

"Billiards flourished, naturally some people followed suit, and then there was a conclusion from the court, and the royal movement was also justified, and then by dealing with the power of Uncle Guo and Han Wen, Jiang Song and their professional debt collection became famous, and finally ...... The collection of royalties is a matter of course. ”

"But how do you know that the ministers won't attack in droves?" Zhengde asked again, this question was what puzzled him the most. Han Wen is isolated because Zhengdeok's goal is focused on him alone, so no one wants to get into trouble with Xie Hong and Zhengde in order to help others.

But now, Xie Hong is in the capital to take full action, almost all the courtiers in the capital industry, according to Zhengde's past experience, those old guys are people who can fight for a long time regardless of it, it should not be possible to be so smooth.

"Because of the installment payment, but also because of the differential treatment of them, but also because our teacher is famous, and of course, there is also the intimidating effect of the previous actions......"

Although it is a comprehensive action, and he has not even let go of the billiard table used by himself in a large family, Xie Hong is treated differently, the standard is the official position, the bigger the official, the shorter the period for receiving money, and the larger the amount.

The people who collect the least are those ordinary merchants, whose repayment period even has hundreds of years, and when they are spread out, it is only one hundred and ten taels of silver a year; The low-level officials are slightly higher, and the repayment period is about 100 years, and it is only a few hundred taels a year...... By analogy, officials above the third grade will have to pay tens of thousands of taels a year.

Xie Hong felt that the standards he had set were very scientific, and that there would be no mistakes in using official positions to measure officials' assets.

Although there were some outliers in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, such as Hai Rui, the most famous Qing official, such a person even had to wait until the Chinese New Year to buy a piece of meat, where would there be any industry? Even if billiards is popular, can people like Hai Rui still spend a few hundred taels to get a cottage table?

Therefore, the possible surname of accidental injury can be said to be almost zero.

This system is not so much a copyright fee, but rather a pit that Xie Hong dug a hole and put all the businesses with industries in the capital into it, and then changed the name and collected commercial tax. Since it is a commercial tax, of course people who do not have property will not be calculated.

In addition to the property issue, there is also a hatred value issue. When Xie Hong entered Beijing, he said that although it was short, he basically offended him by the members of the third grade or above in Beijing, and it was an unresolvable hatred.

On the contrary, the low-level officials have not dealt with him much, and they don't have much hatred for him, although because of the extra cost of billiards, but at the same time, there is also a lot of business, and the two can roughly offset each other, so that when measured, their hearts are much calmer.

Of course, the most important thing is Xie Hong's notoriety and prestige, no one dares to guarantee that he can be defeated at once, but every time the person who comes out first will be retaliated against by him, and the end is generally miserable. The light ones lose face, and the heavy ones lose face together...... The teahouses in the capital are very keen to talk about the Three Kingdoms, of course, the trend is also led by Hou Defang, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, when Mr. talked about Kong Ming's three qi Zhou Yu's jokes, what he said was: Han Lang's clever plan to calm the world, lose face and break the fortune...... Therefore, although the adults such as Shilang and Shangshu were full of righteous indignation during the collegiate discussion, the low-grade officials were unwilling to act as this vanguard, and they all pondered: Xie Hong may not dare to do anything to the high-grade officials, but he has no scruples about dealing with low-grade people, and it is not good to be invited to drink tea for this little money.

People with low status don't dare to come forward, and people with high status have more scruples, even if they don't get caught drinking tea, it's troublesome to be used on those disgusting methods on themselves.

Xie Hong's plan is not very clever, but he just relies on the insight of later generations and the backer of Zhengde to bully people, after all, billiards is just a game, who could have thought of these in advance? Even if you think about it, except for a very few people who are as serious as the old shopkeeper of Qingfeng Teahouse, who will not make money?

Therefore, he succeeded, and he also used this evil crooked way to bewitch the emperor, and the one who was bewitched also had two eyes shining when he heard it.

"It turns out that this is the case, first use the copyright of billiards to get a name for the fee, and when the time is ripe, then change the name, and then collect commercial taxes, it is not so difficult, and it is much easier for people in the world to accept it." Zhengde was thinking about it while muttering about sorting out his thoughts.

"That's right, and I have follow-up means to make this system run for a long time, which means that Miss is here, let's talk about it again." Xie Hong looked at Zhengde with great satisfaction, Ming Wuzong is actually very smart, but his mind is usually not on business, once he gets serious, it is like he has grown up and changed a person.

"But why don't you let the fans go out? If someone uses force, Jiang Song and those people will not be useful. Zhengde was obviously thinking very hard and asked a very key point.

"The fist must be put away to hit someone, and the sword is even more terrifying when it hangs over the head." Xie Hong said murderously: "Anyway, the cases have been laid out, what the consequences will be, they can imagine for themselves, and there is not much difference between them and Fanzi with Jiang Song." What's more, if the fans go out, the goal will be clear, and it will make people want to move. ”

"Oh." Zhengde nodded, his doubts disappeared, and he suddenly complained: "Big brother, you said that you want to be paid according to your work, but this time I have contributed a lot, what about the good reward?" ”

Xie Honggang wanted to praise him for two words, such as: Second brother, have you grown up or something...... As a result, I was choked back by Zhengde's words, second brother, you cleared it up too quickly, right? Obviously, you want to take revenge yourself, right? Moreover, the matter of collecting commercial taxes has the most to do with you, the emperor, right?

Xie Hong nodded resignedly, sighed, and said, "Well, get paid for your work...... Say, what do you want to order? ”

Zhengde was happy, raised his face, and said enthusiastically: "Big brother, I want to ride a wooden horse!" ”
