Above the court, the angry roar of the official family surprised all the ministers, most of these people grew up watching the official Zhao Zhen, but they had never seen the official family so out of shape. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info full book

The depth of love and the depth of responsibility! It seems that in the hearts of the officials, Zhao Lei's status is indeed not low.

Above the court, Zhao Lei's friends such as Wang Su and Fan Zhongyan were all worried about Zhao Lei, while Zhao Lei's enemies such as Lu Yijian and Li Di were gloating.

And Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, who didn't have much to do with Zhao Lei, looked thoughtfully at Zhao Lei, who still looked indifferent in the middle of the hall.

"Enlighten the official family! Please allow the minister to finish his thoughts. Zhao Lei said slowly to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Exactly! Listen, what else can you say? The official Zhao Zhen held back the anger in his heart and said loudly.

"It is an indisputable fact that the salt tea banknote will indeed affect the lives of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but the minister thinks that the salt tea banknote to change the salt tea cash is something that must be done, because the official family just said that the household lacks silver and the military spirit is floating, but the interests of the people of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be ignored, so the minister thinks that the imperial court should implement the salt tea cash while trying to compensate the people." Zhao Lei said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen.

The hundred officials of the imperial court were immediately stunned by Zhao Lei's words, this guy actually played secretly crossing Chen Cang, first supporting, then opposing, and if he made a big turn, he put everyone in, including the official Zhao Zhen.

Will the official family be angry! All the courtiers turned their heads to look at the dragon chair.

And the official Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's words at this time. Witty, he immediately understood that Zhao Lei was going to transfer the target, and his angry expression still remained, but he had already begun to laugh in his heart.

"Oh! Between you, how should the imperial court compensate the people of the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Zhen still had a calm face and said coldly.

"The minister thought that the imperial court should reform the law of miscellaneous changes. Convenient for the people! Zhao Lei looked at the official Zhao Zhen and said slowly word by word.

Reform the law of change! Zhao Lei's words shocked the courtiers again.

Since the Tang Dynasty, in addition to paying normal taxes, the government has also added additional items to collect other materials, and then converted these additional materials into taxes, which is called miscellaneous endowment, also known as Yanna.

However, the Great Song Dynasty government set up a variety of names, and every year it attached the tax to the normal tax for the people to pay, which seriously disturbed the people. If we really reform the law of change, it will indeed greatly facilitate the people.

"How can it be reformed?" Song Shou, the governor of the political affairs, was also interested at this time, and asked Zhao Lei curiously.

"The official can order the three divisions to merge the things that are included in the collection according to categories, so the three divisions abolish the various miscellaneous endowments. It was merged into a kind of material, allowing the people to pay the summer and autumn taxes, which greatly facilitated the people and reduced their burden. Zhao Lei talked eloquently to the courtiers.

"Enlighten the official family! The minister also agreed with Lord Zhao's opinion that the three divisions could convert all kinds of food into grain. In this way, the people of the Great Song Dynasty reduced a lot of taxes, which was enough to replace the losses caused by the salt tea reform. "Cai Qi is also a smart person. immediately understood the ultimate meaning of Zhao Lei's proposal for this reform, just to smoothly implement the method of salt tea cash, so he immediately echoed it.

Zhao Lei's sudden move has blindfolded the officials who oppose salt tea cash money such as Xia Anji, and these opponents have always come to oppose salt tea cash money under the pretext that salt tea cash money is too cruel to the people, and now Zhao Lei has proposed the reform of this miscellaneous law, which is indeed a great benefit to the people. can make up for the loss of salt tea cash to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, if you oppose it again, it will be unreasonable, but if you don't object, you are unwilling to watch a large amount of silver slip away in front of them.

"In that case! Everything is in accordance with Zhao Aiqing's proposal, reform the salt tea banknote to introduce salt tea cash, and reform the miscellaneous law to benefit the people, so do it, retreat from the dynasty! Seeing that those oppositionists were struggling to think of excuses for opposition, the officials took this opportunity to speak decisively, and left hurriedly without waiting for the courtiers to refute them.

Above the court, Zhao Lei looked at the angry eyes of Xia Anqi and other opposition officials with a sneer.

……

Two days passed quickly, and Zhao Lei didn't even go to the three salt tea yamen in the past two days, because he knew that most of the salt tea yamen were officials who opposed salt tea cash money, and it was not Zhao Lei's character to go there to suffer white eyes, Zhao Lei knew that those officials couldn't jump for a few days, so he waited at home for the official Zhao Zhen to strike a thunderbolt, and then took over the salt and tea two cases, and then the resistance to work would be reduced a lot.

"Lord Zhao! The official family announced that Lord Zhao entered the palace to meet him! Zhao Lei had just had dinner and was sitting on the side watching Xiao Cui and Xiao Ruoruo play the simple backgammon he handed over to them there, when suddenly the news came from the official family announcing that he had entered the palace.

"I'm going to go to the palace, if I come back too late, you guys can sleep first!" Zhao Lei changed into his official uniform and said to Bai Xinlan, who rushed to hear the news.

"The evidence is complete." The smart Bai Xinlan was the only person in the Zhao Mansion who knew everything about Zhao Lei, and immediately thought of the reason why the official Zhao Zhen announced Zhao Lei's entry into the palace, and hurriedly asked.

"It should be! It is estimated that there will be a big turmoil in the imperial court tomorrow, by the way, you send someone to inform Senior Brother and Brother Xiwen to prepare for this, a large number of officials will dismount this time, and those vacated official positions cannot be snatched away by Li Di and Lu Yijian! Zhao Lei said a few words to Bai Xinlan, left the Zhao Mansion, and rushed to the imperial city.

In the Zichen Hall of the Imperial City, the official Zhao Zhen was holding a long roster of thunder.

"Bastard! A bunch of bastards, moths of the country, look, look, these guys, these guys, all these years, actually accepted so much money from those black-hearted businessmen in bribes, 200 million yuan! This is more than a year's tax revenue of the imperial court, and they have actually swallowed the tax of the imperial court for more than a year over the years, damn it, damn it! There are also those black-hearted businessmen who actually made huge profits of nearly 500 million yuan, 500 million yuan! So much money is because those black-hearted businessmen, using tea and salt money, have gathered such a huge amount of money in just a few decades. Zhao Zhen held a long list of places. Roared angrily.

In front of Zhao Zhen, there were the seven important ministers of the imperial court, Zhao Yuanyan, Li Di, Lu Yijian and others, all looking at the same long roster in their hands with shocked expressions, they never thought that Xia Zhu had an accidental idea decades ago. It is no wonder that the officials are so angry, thinking about the 700 million money lost over the past decades, they are also furious, and they are eager to kill all of them and snatch all the money, 700 million yuan! How much can be done!

"Official! The crown prince and master Zhao Lei are here. Yan Wenying whispered to the side to remind the official Zhao Zhen and said.

"You're here, take a look!" Zhao Zhen turned his head to look at Zhao Lei, handed him the same roster and said.

Zhao Lei's respectful results roster. I opened it and looked at it carefully, but I didn't expect to be surprised when I saw it.

On the list, it is clearly written that the officials of the three divisions have received bribes from salt and tea banknotes over the years. As many as hundreds of officials took bribes, and Xia Zhu, who received the highest amount of bribes, actually accepted bribes of nearly 30 million yuan, and the number of officials below who accepted bribes of tens of millions reached 10 figures, and the number of officials who accepted bribes of 1 million yuan reached dozens of percent. More than 100,000 yuan, countless of them, plus those black-hearted businessmen got salt and tea banknotes at a low price. Sold at a high price, hundreds of millions of unspoiled money were gathered from it, and Zhao Lei was frightened.

"Official! What are you going to do with these officials and businessmen? Zhao Lei couldn't get rid of it at this time, and in the face of hundreds of millions of huge stolen money, hundreds of officials and hundreds of businessmen, he could only say in a deep voice.

"If there are more than a million, all of them will be asked to behead the family; If it is more than 100,000 yuan, as long as the stolen money is handed over, it will be demoted to one level and hired, and the place where the stolen money will not be handed over. directly dismissed officials and raided homes; If it is more than 10,000 yuan, hand over the stolen money and be fined for half a year to set an example! The official Zhao Zhen said with a murderous and cold face.

"What about the merchants?" The appearance Li Di asked cautiously.

"How much they eat, how much they quit, if they don't retreat, they will raid their families and exterminate their families, hundreds of millions of wealth! Let these businessmen use unreasonable means to gather. Zhao Zhen, the official, continued to say angrily and coldly.

"This! The punishment of businessmen by the official family is too severe! It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, if it weren't for those officials who accepted bribes and sold low-priced banknotes, they would not have amassed so much money at all, and the Criminal Department did not set the charge of bribery, so punish those businessmen, I am afraid they will not accept it! Lu Yijian knew the influence behind those businessmen, and besides, the punishment of the official Zhao Zhen was indeed too heavy, so he immediately defended the businessmen and said.

Zhao Zhen, who was gradually dissipated, thought about it and felt that the punishment was too heavy, besides, among the 500 million, there was still a lot of their capital, and it was too heavy to calculate that all the punishments were too heavy.

"Then let them pay half!" Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and Zhengse said.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Official! Big things are not good. Gan Ling hurriedly ran in and said in a panic.

"What's the matter? Panicked, what kind of system! Seeing Gan Ling's frightened appearance, Zhao Zhen asked unhappily.

"Official! Western Xia Yuanhao sent the general Sunuer to lead 25,000 soldiers and horses to attack the country, in order to fear the interference of my Great Song Dynasty, sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to harass the Yongxing military road, Fengning Army Jie Du envoy, Yongxing Army Commander Xia Zhuxia, got the news, led the army to resist the invasion of the Western Xia, and used himself as a bait to lure the Western Xia army deep, and finally defeated the Western Xia army in the frontier, beheaded 800, captured 2,000, and the others fled, but Xia Zhuxia was killed in a battle with the Western Xia army. Gan Ling took out a battle report and read it carefully to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Xia Zhu is dead!" Zhao Lei said in surprise in his heart, at this time, the expressions of all the people in the hall were almost the same as Zhao Lei.

"Xia Zhu is dead, do you want to die to pay for your crimes!" When the official Zhao Zhen heard the news, he muttered to himself.

"Official! Xia Zhu is now dying in battle to resist the invasion of Western Xia, does the imperial court still have to investigate his affairs? "Privy envoy Wang Shu, when he heard the news, immediately asked the official Zhao Zhen.

"If you die, you will pay for the crime with death, what else will you pursue, tick Xia Zhu's name off the roster! Tell Cheyenne to hand over the bribes you have received, and write off other things! Zhao Zhen was shocked, sighed, and said blankly.

What a trick to abandon the handsome guard! Xia Zhu is really not simple, he actually thought of this trick, so simple to rescue the entire Xia family from this salt tea turmoil, although he paid a life, but even if he does not die at this time, it will still be difficult to escape the anger of the official family in the future, and now this kind of death is considered to be a well-deserved death, and even death can be counted, and it is really worthy of the first corrupt official in the Northern Song Dynasty! Zhao Lei thought with a sigh in his heart.
