At the same time, Shaoxi Mansion established a new department composed of household officials and government officials, called the Ministry of Commerce. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info is responsible for the collection of commercial taxes, and if anyone dares to evade taxes, they will be revoked from their business qualifications or exiled at worst. Those unscrupulous businessmen still wanted to take advantage of loopholes, but they found that Li Xiang blocked any loopholes. However, Shaoxi City is a wealthy area of the Dakang Empire, the most economically prosperous place, and it can't give up, so it has to acquiesce to this fact and dare not resist a little.

Li Xiang didn't think it was enough, so he directly wrote this regulation into the Dakang Law, and then sat back and waited to collect the money. The commercial tax is collected once a month, which is much faster than the agricultural tax. After all, there are many commercial taxes, and if they are collected once a year, they may give some people a loophole.

Shaoxi Mansion, also known as Jingzhao Mansion in Dakang, levied commercial taxes and promoted the status of merchants. Li Xiang clearly said in the holy decree: "If you pay taxes on time for three years, you can obtain the qualification for scientific examination." Just this sentence made the world's businessmen crazy. There are merchants who are rich but have no status. In front of some officials, they didn't even dare to breathe. Now that you can finally raise your eyebrows, how can you not be crazy?

You know, what a businessman lacks is not money, but status. If they have status, they will recognize the Dakang Empire, this is something Li Xiang knows, but the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government do not know why, even Wang Yisun is against it, but these objections are suppressed by Li Xiang.

And the advantage of this move is that all the businessmen from all over the world gather in Jingzhao Mansion, and Li Xiang has a hunch that compared to Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty and Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, Shaoxi City, which is not in vain, will not appear in this world for a long time, and Dakang will be prosperous! This is not the self-deceptive prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, but the real prosperity of China!

After nearly half a month of turmoil at the top of the political hierarchy, the cabinet system that came into being was finally established, and in a very short period of time it showed that it was advanced beyond the times, and all major state affairs were no longer in the hands of the emperor or the prime minister, but the situation of real scholars and emperors ruling the world together was realized. The central documents came from the post station, and the orders were also issued from the post station, and the whole country was connected as a whole, and the decrees were effectively spread throughout the entire territory of Dakang's rule.

In view of the disrepair of post stations, post roads, and official roads, Li Xiang also set aside half of the finances after the autumn harvest to renovate. Wen Yunsun, the newly appointed head of the household department, was so busy that he couldn't move so much money, so he had to tell Li Xiang truthfully, and he was even ready to resign.

The northernmost part of the capital is already a slum. The residence of Wang Yisun, the first first assistant of the cabinet, was close to the slum, and a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform had a sad face and knocked on the door of the palace.

The middle-aged man frowned, entered the hall all the way, and when he saw Wang Yisun, he immediately saluted: "Elder Xu Ge, you have to save the students!" ”

Wang Yisun was taken aback and said, "Yunsun, what's the matter, did you stretch out your hand where you shouldn't have reached out?" ”

The person who came was Wen Yunsun, he sighed and said: "Elder Wang Ge, you know, the student was born in poverty, although he didn't dare to say that he regarded money as dung, but he had never been clean and self-conscious, and he had never crossed the thunder pond by half a step. The students came this time to ask for help from you. ”

Hearing Wen Yunsun say this, Wang Yisun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it's not corruption, everything is easy to say." Yunsun, remember, if you want to go far in officialdom, you must win the trust of the saints, and you must not have a single flaw in yourself. In my opinion, the saints today have made up their minds to rectify corruption, and you should not be smart. ”

Wen Yunsun said: "The teacher's teachings should be remembered by the students. It's just that the Holy God gave the student an impossible task, and the student felt that it was impossible to complete it, so he was very distressed. ”

Wang Yisun was interested, after all, he didn't want his students to lose their positions for Li Xiang's impossible task, it was really a loss for the Dakang Empire. "Tell me what's going on."

"This autumn harvest will be able to be collected in less than half a month, but the Holy Lord wants students to allocate ordinary money to repair post roads, official roads, and post stations, and also requires students to make sure that the roads are smooth and the government decrees are smooth. This post road and official road have been in disrepair for many years, and this thing that can't be done with no amount of money or money, only five million yuan, how can it be done? Teacher, you must save the students! "Wen Yunsun really has no idea, so he is so sad.

Wang Yisun pondered for a while before he slowly said, "Yunsun, calm down, did the Holy Lord say when it will be repaired?" ”

Wen Yunsun carefully recalled the scene when Li Xiang summoned him, and shook his head: "That's not true." ”

Wang Yisun said with a smile: "That's it, although the Holy Lord acts vigorously, he is not very meticulous. If you play a twist and turn and tell the truth, I think the Holy One will understand your difficulties. ”

Wen Yunsun felt that this plan was feasible, and immediately said with great joy: "Thank you for the teacher's guidance, the student will go back and write a note." ”

The next day, Wen Yunsun's recital passed through the cabinet and was sent to Li Xiang's hands. Li Xiang carefully flipped through what Wen Yunsun had played, and immediately sent someone to summon Wen Yunsun.

Wen Yunsun was apprehensive, and cautiously said, "Wechen has seen Your Majesty. ”

Li Xiang got straight to the point and said directly: "I have seen your recital." I'm a little puzzled, why are you officials stupider than ordinary people? ”

Wen Yunsun was so frightened that he almost fell down: "Wechen is guilty......"

Li Xiang sighed and said, "You are not guilty, it's just that your brain can't turn around." Let me ask how long there are thousands of roads in the Dakang Empire, how can they all be repaired at once? What I mean is that your household department should make a census of the roads in the whole country, and if there are any sections of roads that have collapsed, or which post roads are no longer passable, or which are so rugged and difficult to travel, that they will be repaired according to the length of the road. Moreover, it is necessary to build the post road in Chongqing Prefecture first, and it is necessary to recruit homeless victims to build the road, and at the same time pay wages. Do I understand what I said? ”

Wen Yunsun came to his senses at this time, and said in fear: "Weichen can't be on the body of the Holy Will, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”

Li Xiang sighed and said, "In the future, you have to use your brains." I can trust you, but I can't trust the people below, and I'm afraid that they will put all the money for road construction into their own purses. The Inspectorate still has to follow up the whole process, and you have to adapt to the process. In addition, for the shops in Jingzhao Mansion, we must check their account books, and we can't let them evade taxes and evade taxes, and if there are not enough people, I will go to the Ministry of Officials to ask for them, and I have already said that everything must be compromised for commercial taxes......"

Coming out of the vertical arch hall, Wen Yunsun found that he was drenched in cold sweat behind his back. Li Xiang's dictatorial program in the rectification action made Wen Yunsun invisibly feel a coercion of the emperor. Even if there was no Supervision Department, he still didn't dare to disobey Li Xiang's order, and immediately went to prepare.

Li Xiang waved away Wen Yunsun, looked for Zhao Er again, and asked, "I ask you, how many people are in the Supervision Department now?" ”

Zhao Er said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has recruited more than 300 people, including more than 100 landing talents. Wechen has already trained them one by one according to His Majesty's instructions, and they will soon be able to go to the state capitals to take charge of themselves. ”
