Half a month later, one evening, Wanhualou was opening for business, and business was booming, and scantily clad girls dragged guests through the attic. The downstairs lobby is also full of people, music and dancing are flying, and the scene is so lively!

But this "happy" scene was soon disrupted by a group of uninvited guests.

A group of officials who were supposed to get off work suddenly appeared in the Wanhua Building, and their arrival made the singing here stop, the dancing also stopped, the hand holding the girl was also released, and some of them got under the table and picked up the wine glasses in their hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen! What wind is blowing you? Come on, come on, come on inside, please! Ladies and gentlemen, ......" Wanhualou's ** hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Wait!" The head catcher raised his hand to stop him: "This head catcher has something important to announce today, let your people come out quickly, don't waste time, there are still many things to do here!" ”

Seeing that this head catcher is quite kind to speak, ** is much more down-to-earth in his heart, as long as he is not here to find fault, it is easy to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will call them ...... later"

Soon, those who were still busy doing things, or hadn't finished yet, were politely invited out by the ** thugs, one by one, they looked dissatisfied, scolded, and vowed to give a little color to the guy who interrupted his good deeds, if Zhao Zhen was also here, he would find that there were many acquaintances among these guys!

No matter how many grievances these people wanted to vent, they hurriedly closed their stinky mouths when they saw the bunch of officials standing in the lobby, and some simply hid back in their rooms, not knowing what they were afraid of.

"Official, everyone is here!" **After gathering all the "girls" in his own house, he asked cautiously, it's not that she is afraid of things, how can she have no background if she can open a green building in the capital, but it is just in the spirit that more things are better than less things, and it is just that she is angry and makes money.

The catcher nodded to the two henchmen beside him, and the two took out a notice and pasted it on the wall.

After they posted it, the head catcher said: "Listen to it, according to the provisions of the latest "City Management Regulations" promulgated by the Holy Lord, my Kaifeng Mansion was ordered to rectify all the green buildings and gambling houses in the capital. It is hereby decided as follows: all green houses and gambling houses must register with the tax department and the patrol department of the government office, and submit an application to the government office, and only after passing the examination can they continue to operate. At the same time, all practitioners, like you Qinglou women, also need to go to the government to report and be inspected from time to time. This is to regulate the order of the industry and prevent the sale of human beings.

The Holy Authority decrees that from the date of implementation of this regulation, all Qinglou and gambling houses in all areas of our dynasty will be subject to rectification, and no more human trafficking will occur, and all women in Qinglou must be engaged in voluntary work, and if there is a violation, the personnel involved will be severely punished, and as the boss, according to the seriousness of the circumstances, he will be sentenced to three to ten years of hard labor and fined. This regulation shall come into force after six months.

Do you hear me? I hope you will inform your boss and get it done as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass us when you get it! ”

"Official, what do you mean by the Tax Office and the Patrol Bureau? Didn't I hear that the government had this? What do they do? ** took the head catcher's hand and stuffed something into his palm without a trace.

The head catcher also cooperated with her actions, and naturally put his hand in his pocket: "The tax office is a subordinate department of the household tax bureau, that is, the original Cao Division has been changed into the tax department, which is called the tax office at the state level. As for the Patrol Bureau, as the name suggests, it is our patrol department. In short, the Holy Lord has adjusted many systems in the past two years, and some have also changed their names, and you will know as soon as you go to the government office to inquire, we still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

**Hurriedly stopped him: "Official, do you know why the Holy Lord suddenly issued this decree?" ”

"What the Holy One wants, how can we know? However, it is rumored that the saint went out on patrol one night and saw some unsightly things, so he tried his best to come up with this method. I've also heard that this matter seems to have something to do with your Wanhualou! I advise you not to know it, lest your peers have any bad thoughts. ”

"We've been doing business in a proper manner, how can we get into trouble with the saint?" I don't know if I'm talking to myself or asking someone else.

"Think for yourself!" The head catcher patted her on the shoulder, bypassed her body, and walked out of Wanhualou with his subordinates.

Then they went along the street, door-to-door to visit the gambling houses and green buildings, although it was very hard to work overtime until midnight, but the tickets in their hands made them full of energy, and tried to apply to their bosses to do this work, not just for that.

Although their methods are very skillful and hidden, they don't know that their every move is actually under Zhao Zhen's control, this is not that Zhao Zhen arranged surveillance personnel for a few quick arrests, it was purely an accident. As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are observed, there are no fugitives. Even if he knew that they had these gray incomes, Zhao Zhen didn't plan to care, as long as they didn't violate the established principles, it was understandable that they had a little gray income.

And what Zhao Zhen really monitors is those Jinshi, since he said that he wants to score their performance, then he must speak with facts, not to mention that they know about eating and every day, at least they still have to understand what they mainly do.

In general, most of the Jinshi's performance is still good, perhaps because they are worried about being known by the emperor, and everyone is working hard. But there are always some stupid deficiencies in this world, usually used to publicity, plus the family is good, or the family is powerful, so I really don't take the emperor's words to heart, I should pick up girls, I should be arrogant and arrogant.

As Zhao Zhen said, in less than a month, several guys have been arrested, almost all of whom are descendants of powerful families in the court.

Only a month after the end of the imperial examination, the Royal Times published a bombshell news that five fellows who had been given the same Jinshi background were dismissed from their fame because of their life style and ideological and moral problems, and they were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for ten years.

Although it is only a few dozen words of the report, it has attracted the attention of countless people. As a result, the "Red Light District Rectification Incident" that just happened some time ago was quickly overshadowed by this incident.

This news not only caused an uproar among the students in the world, but also made those Jinshi who had not yet exposed their true nature shout lucky, if it weren't for these unlucky people stepping on thunder in front, maybe they would be over one day as soon as they relaxed.

Zhao Zhen deliberately found that Confucianism valued the most important discipline to start, and grasped their pain points, so that the Manchu ministers had nothing to say.

Although everyone may do some unsavory hookups in private, such as opening a Qinglou gambling house or something, they still pretend to be a person on their faces, and they don't leave the saint when they open and close their mouths.

To play politics, you have to learn to compromise, compromise is also an art, but it is the weakness of a technical nerd, especially in the face of Manchu ministers, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. If you really want to play scheming with these ministers who have been working hard for half their lives, Zhao Zhen is really not their opponent, but he has some advanced concepts that the ministers do not have, and this is what he relies on to fight with the ministers. To put it bluntly, it all depends on information asymmetry.

According to the rectification plan he envisioned, these unfair industries were strictly regulated and heavily taxed. This will inevitably affect the interests of some people, and they will naturally jump out and find various reasons to oppose it. However, Zhao Zhen spent half a month privately looking for officials involved in the pornography and gambling industry in the capital to have in-depth conversations, and in the process, he vaguely expressed that he knew about their hookup, and even deliberately inadvertently took out some "criminal evidence" collected by the secret disks, but made it clear that he did not believe in these criminal evidence.

Then, he gave them a brief introduction to the "Thomas" theory he picked up from Zhang Rou, so that they could understand that this move was helping them, and that many people would inevitably be eliminated in accordance with the rectification regulations, and what they could stay would earn more!

Under coercion and temptation, these originally opposed people have become the greatest source of motivation for carrying out rectification and reform. As for whether he is also among the elimination, hehe, the "Bright Road" is there, who would think that he is worse than others!

Zhao Zhen saw Zhao Zhong's figure appear in front of him, so he put down the fold and asked thoughtlessly, "What's the situation?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the temporary intelligence, there are no major problems in most places, and all states and counties have received orders to start rectification. Those adults are also secretly exerting their efforts, letting their protégés and former officials vigorously promote rectification, and some people can't wait, so they simply do things during the rectification, so that some people with no background are out of the game in advance. Whether you want to interfere with them or not, please ask the emperor for instructions! Zhao Zhen said very calmly.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while: "Closely monitor, as long as there is no violation of the law and discipline, don't worry about it for the time being, so as not to affect their enthusiasm." Anyway, there are not many good things for these guys to do these things, they are a little wronged, I don't feel distressed, you just need to keep an eye on them, don't let them oppress the people! ”

"Obey the order!" Zhao Zhong arched his hand and hesitated slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister has found a problem. Only after this rectification did we discover that there were many profiteers who colluded with the powerful to evade taxes, and in the past, they were not easy to detect in the shadows. But this time, because you have to impose heavy taxes on gambling houses and green houses, many people are starting to blush, and they have to jump out to get this money regardless of their faces, and the taxes in many places cannot be carried out at all......"

His grandmother's, these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, actually put them in the bowl to make money, it's just boring! Zhao Zhen slapped the table violently, and instructed Zhao Zhong: "Send more people, sort out these sanctimonious guys, find out their hookups, I want to make them public, so that the world will spurn them, one by one is always so unruly, do you still want to pass on these bad habits from generation to generation!" Today, I have to give them some color to see, so that they know that the rules are to be followed, not to be exploited! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Say it! When will you learn this and you will not be allowed to hide anything from me at any time, you know? If even you know and hide it, what do I want you to do! ”

"The minister knows that he is wrong! It's just because I think the next words may embarrass you......"

"It's okay, just say it!"

"The minister found that a group of people who were more hidden in the court were also involved in this matter, and Qian Weiyan, a scholar of Hanlin, should know that he was also a deputy privy envoy during the first emperor's period. And this Lord Qian's sister is the wife of the queen mother's younger brother Liu Mei, and his doing so is tantamount to indirectly having something to do with the royal family.

According to the spy report, Lord Qian's family in Qiantang regards himself as a relative of the emperor all day long, and he does not take the local government in his eyes at all, and more than eighty percent of the green buildings and gambling houses here are attached to the Qian mansion......"

"Bang" another innocent cup has become the "unjust soul" in Zhao Zhen's hands!

"Continue to collect evidence on this matter, I will remember it for them, and I will settle accounts with them after the autumn! Tell me, how have my Jinshi been doing lately? ”
