The tense routine is here again.

Although the good news is frequent, it is said that the border army cooperated with the forbidden army to eliminate how many Khitan tribe private soldiers were eliminated every day, how many people were gathered, and how many Han people were naturalized...... But the court actually has no bottom in their hearts.

The Khitans can't beat and still run, how can they win so easily? If more than 400,000 forbidden troops were buried in the grassland, and the Khitans went south, Dashun would be uncomfortable.

The civil officials were worried about the war, and the generals were worried about the war. There is even a saying that if you want to bridge with the Liao State and send some coins every year, you can also exchange it for peace......

Lu Chengqi knew the demeanor of the hundred officials clearly through the Supervision Department, but he silently recorded the red and black books of employing people, but he did not move.

At this moment, he has a more important thing to do.

After receiving the courtesy from the monarch and the ministers, the regular dynasty began. Lu Chengqi came to a sentence according to reason: "Zhongqing has a morning performance, and there is nothing to retreat from the court......"

Before the words fell, Hubu Shangshu Lin Zhenzhong jumped out, holding the Chao Wat, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play." ”

When Lu Chengqi saw him like this, he hesitated a little: "Uh...... Quasi-play! In fact, I know in my heart that Lin Zhenzhong is just cooperating with him in acting, but this acting is ...... Doesn't that seem to be too pompous?

"Your Majesty, please collect your troops, you can't fight with the Khitan anymore!" Lin Zhenzhong said with a handful of tears and snot, "Tomorrow is the time to distribute the money, but the treasury ......."

Lu Chengqi asked "surprised": "What happened to the treasury?" ”

"The state treasury has just paid the salaries and delivered the grain and grass, and it has been ...... There are only a thousand copper coins left...... Lin Zhenzhong said gloomily.

This was terrible, and the Daqing Hall immediately boiled. The imperial court can't even send out a fortune, this ...... It's appalling!

Immediately, an official came out and asked: "Lin Shangshu, the lower officials want to know, the national tax exceeds 10,000,000 yuan a year, I don't know how Lin Shangshu uses it?" ”

"Yes, Lin Shangshu, how can you do this?" All the officials agreed, the relationship between Yulu is too big, and there is no Yulu as officials, do they let their family go to drink the northwest wind? It can be said that Lin Zhenzhong's words have offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Someone even suggested: "The treasury has no money, but the Royal Bank has money!" ”

"Huangzhuang also has rich ......"

Lu Chengqi glanced at it, and it was Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing who put forward these two suggestions. Zhang Dian will not talk about it, he was born in a family, erudite and literate, handsome, and arrogant and conceited. Lu Huiqing is quite selfish, although he will not be on the line, but it is still quite unpleasant. It's no wonder that he would say the ridiculous thing of asking the emperor to pay for Yu Lu, for his own selfish interests, he can do anything.

Lu Chengqi asked the officials to be quiet, and then said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you don't have Yulu, I remember that Zhuqing's net worth is also very expensive." Well, Zhang Qing, didn't you open a dyeing workshop and a silk factory at home? By the way, Lu Qing, I remember that your rice shop and oil shop are doing very well! And ......"

Lu Chengqi named dozens of ministers in a row, and the faces of these ministers were blue and white, as if they were dyed, and they were very good-looking.

The rest of the officials have all converged a lot. was not named by Lu Chengqi, but in fact, there are many industries in the family. Lu Chengqi's eyes swept over them, and after a short pause, they knew that the emperor had already known about this matter. Yes, I took control of the Supervision Department, and some time ago, I found out a lot of scum, and I even managed the Supervision Department vigorously. Even if there is a hint of wind and grass among officials, there is nothing that Lu Chengqi does not know. To put it mildly, if you pick up the ashes one day, within a day, it will be known to everyone.

With oversight, these officials will not dare to mess around.

At this time, Zhang Dian was anxious, and went out to complain to Chao Wat: "Your Majesty, this is to support your family!" ”

"Oh, I remember that Zhang Qing was a month old, as many as 100 times, can't he support his family?" Lu Chengqi's words are very punishing, and the severe punishment of corrupt officials has been written into the "Great Shun Law", and if he is greedy for money, he can be imprisoned or even exiled. How do you ask Zhang Dan to answer this?

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, the "Great Shun Law" also doesn't say that the relatives of officials can't run it, right?" Moreover, supporting business is also His Majesty's established policy......"

"Does the "Da Shun Law" state that the relatives of officials run shops and do not pay taxes?" Lu Chengqi looked at him playfully with a smile on his face.

Zhang Dian looked at Lu Chengqi's smiling face, and felt a sigh in his heart, knowing that he had fallen into the pit: "Your Majesty, although the "Great Shun Law" has not been written, this is an ancestral system, and it cannot be wasted lightly ......."

Lu Chengqi still stared at him with a smile: "Yes, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front line, and you are talking about the righteousness of the levy, while running a large area of land and many shops, but you refuse to pay a penny of tax to the imperial court." Now that the treasury has no money and cannot make money, you ask me for it, and you are indeed a scholar, and this reason is very smooth! ”

Zhang Dian stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the matter of eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the monarch is a practice since ancient times, how can it be a crooked reason? Minister......"

Lu Chengqi got up suddenly: "I still don't know about you morally good people? All of them are strict with others and lenient with themselves, but whenever you see others breaking the rules, you will besiege them, and once you make a mistake, you will prevaricate with the law of your ancestors and the doctrine of benevolence and righteousness! ”

This sentence was extremely heartbreaking, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officers looked at him like a monster as if they didn't know Lu Chengqi.

Lu Chengqi's sentence "strict with others, lenient with oneself" broke through the essence of these civil officials, and they were so ashamed that they couldn't even speak. Everyone knows this, but who would have thought that the emperor would actually puncture this layer of paper? Let's say that he is stunned, he has been an emperor for so many years, it is impossible to be stunned. There was only one explanation, and that was that the emperor was determined to make them pay taxes.

"I'm here now, it's an extraordinary time, and the gentry are all in one place, and no one is an exception! However, anyone who does not pay taxes will be regarded as collaborating with the enemy and will be sentenced to the crime of treason and beheaded!! Lu Chengqi's words were like a sledgehammer, hammering heavily on the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, one word at a time, pressing them out of breath.

The civil officials with political vision can understand that Lu Chengqi has tied more than 100,000 officials in Dashun to his chariot, and used the matter of Yu Lu to overwhelm them as officials and businessmen!

The Han people are so strange, if everyone pays taxes together, they have nothing to say, everyone pays it, and they don't suffer a loss; But only they accept, others don't, and some people feel uncomfortable. Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety, this is the most reasonable saying.

What's more, Lu Chengqi's words were extremely vague, what extraordinary period? I am afraid that once the practice is formed, there will be one more article on the "Dashun Law": "Paying taxes according to law is the responsibility of the people of Dashun, if there are acts of tax resistance, tax evasion, tax evasion, tax fraud, tax avoidance, etc., regardless of the size of the official, they will be severely punished according to law!" ”

At that time, it was a sure thing for all people to pay taxes.

Are these officials and businessmen willing?

A hundred are unwilling, but now that Lu Chengqi is so strong, is it their turn to say "no"? If they poke out the "Dashun Minbao", their reputation for hard work will immediately stink. For the sake of face, let's pay taxes. Anyway, everyone accepted it, and they weren't the only ones.

Of course, Lu Chengqi didn't just slap and don't give sweet dates. He hinted that as long as the treasury was full, if there were any of them dealing in rice and grain, the imperial court could give priority to purchasing them. In this way, the opposition is much smaller.

At this time, the governor Zhang Qi was listed, indicating that this government is very good. Zhang Qi is the third year of Hongxiang's Jinshi and the first. Li Chen Liuzhi County. Jingdong transfer judge, Hubei criminal prison envoy, Chengdu Road transfer envoy and other positions, outstanding political achievements. All the way up, it is not unpleasant to be able to participate in political affairs. Of course, this person is also extremely talented, both civil and military, and is very much used by Lu Chengqi.

Ye Wuxian is not Lu Chengqi praising himself on his lips, but he really did this.

With the assistance of such talents, why worry about Dashun or not?
