Wang Daozhong is completely planted, and now at this point, he really has no choice at all, since he has no choice, then he has to beg for mercy.

But the crux of the matter is that Lord Xu has revealed the key to this.

People spent so much effort to make it to death, and finally came up with a reason that everyone likes to see, in order to sort out these black materials, I don't know how much it costs; How much effort, how much sweat you have shed, everyone is human, you have to be considerate. Now you say spare you, you will spare you, how can you make the chief soldier Yang Biao embarrassed, how can you let the chief soldier Yamen be embarrassed by so many favors, and how can you let Xu Daren be embarrassed.

People have to compare their hearts with their hearts, and sorting out black materials not only takes effort, but also takes more brains.

Wang Daozhong couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't have hole cards, nothing, and he didn't even have the qualifications to trade with Lord Xu, the only way was to beg for mercy, so he didn't make a sound, just kept kowtowing, his head was full of blood, he was dizzy, and he just muttered in his mouth: "It's not a pity for Xia Guan to die, but Xia Guan still has his parents in the hall, please have mercy on ...... adults."

Xu Qian couldn't help but laugh, this guy obviously regarded himself as the king of the mountain.

He sighed, and then said: "Don't you be busy kowtowing first, if you have something, speak slowly, you are also the governor anyway, and you don't want to be gentle?" ”

Wang Daozhong refused, and said: "I only ask the adults to spare the lives of the lower officials, and the lower officials are cattle and horses, and I am willing to take the heads of the adults and horses, yes, the lower officials will support the new policy from today, and the lower officials will study Wang Xue from now on, and the adults will ......."

Xu Qian simply stopped talking.

Let him babble like crazy, let him kowtow.

It took half a cup of tea before Wang Daozhong stopped. At this time, he is very wolf. Constantly panting, apparently without much energy. The face was no longer able to distinguish between blood and tears. A pair of eyes, but they looked at Xu Qian with a smile, looking at this last life-saving straw, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Xu Qian sighed and said, "Why are you doing this, if you want to be a stumbling block for your own officials, you have to be a little stumbling block, just plead." The official wants to open you up, but if you open the net, how can the official explain to the court? ”

Wang Daozhong was also stunned.

Yes, such a big incident has happened, and the Qin Cha has been ordered to investigate thoroughly, on the one hand, it is to stabilize the hearts of the people, and on the other hand. It is to hold accountable for this matter.

Who is responsible is the key.

Since it is not his responsibility in the royal way, then whose responsibility is it? Chief soldier Yang Biao, don't say that he is not qualified enough. Even if he is qualified, he wrote that confession, obviously standing with Xu Qian. So who else? Straight Zhejiang here. There are also a few governors who are qualified to be scapegoats. But these governors are now all new policy cadres, and it is impossible for Lord Xu to be a royal road for you. Sell your own people.

Wang Daozhong's expression became more and more complicated, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Qian for help, and said, "Then what do adults mean ......?"

Xu Qian said coldly: "If something happens, you must trace back to the source, you have to know where the problem is, and someone must be involved, you are also an official of the imperial court, and it is clear to think about it, it's just that, it's all that should be said, you might as well be so, the official will give you three days, and within three days, you can think of a way that can make the official not only protect you but also make the official not embarrassed." This confession will be kept by the official for three days, and if after three days, the official can't get a satisfactory answer, then he has to be sorry, can you understand? ”

Xu Qian didn't say many words explicitly, but Wang Daozhong instantly understood something.

Lord Xu gave him a chance, but where was the opportunity? On the side of Zhizhejiang, there is no scapegoat at all, it stands to reason that Lord Xu will directly and categorically refuse, because he can't find another person to replace, but he still gives himself a chance, which can only prove that Lord Xu wants someone to be a scapegoat, who is this person? Since it is impossible to come from Zhizhejiang, then it can only be from the imperial court.

Thinking of the imperial court, there was a cold war in the royal road, and there were not many people who could be responsible for this matter, and there was only one key person, it was this person who formulated the commercial tax regulations, and it was also this person who presided over the collection of commercial tax, and he was also this person......

But did this man get himself offended?

The royal road with complicated feelings was full of gratitude, and he said goodbye.

Xu Qian looked at his back coldly, Xu Qian was almost certain that Wang Daozhong already knew how to do it, whether it was Yang Biao or Wang Daozhong, in fact, it was not his primary goal, for Xu Qian, the real target could only be the imperial court, as the head of the household, it was impossible to make a small fuss.

At this time, a disciple came to report and said: "Zhao Ming, the governor of Zhejiang, asks to see him." ”

Zhao Ming was invited by Xu Qian, and he came a long time ago, but it was a pity that Wang Daozhong was here, so he waited patiently, and as soon as Wang Daozhong left, it was convenient for him to come and speak.

Xu Qian nodded: "Please come in." ”

After a while, Zhao Ming came in and saluted.

Xu Qian stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Zhao, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't be polite, come, sit down and talk." ”

Zhao Ming nodded and said politely: "When the adults come to Zhejiang, everyone will be at ease, the adults don't know, now the whole Zhejiang is full of vitality, everyone finally has a livelihood, and the business can continue to be done, although there are still people who are worried, but most people are still happy." ”

"Worried, worried about what?" Xu Qian asked with a smile.

Zhao Mingdao: "The worry is naturally about the business tax, although the adult has arrived, but the court did not say that the business tax is not collected." ”

Xu Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "The commercial tax must be collected, what is the purpose of the imperial court implementing the new policy?" If there is no commercial tax, what will the imperial court use to raise soldiers? Where there is a country, there is a tax, and this is the principle from ancient times to the present. ”

Zhao Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaguan actually means the same thing, but the adults must also know that the hearts of the big guys are uneasy after all." ”

Xu Qian said lightly: "Uneasiness is certain, why is it uneasy, in fact, it is not a tax, but I don't know the amount of tax, and I don't know how to collect it, this official invited you to come, for this is this matter, the court now has a lot of difficulties, and everyone has made money with the new deal, how can there be a reason not to pay taxes, but to pay taxes, there must be a limit, on the one hand, you have to maintain the expenses and expenses of the imperial court, on the other hand, you can't exhaust the fish, there is a degree here, if you control it well, you are happy, and if you don't grasp it, the world will be in chaos." ”

"This official came this time, he can't stay for a long time, but the rules, after all, must be established, there are no rules, there is no circle, first set the rules, but also to prevent someone from changing the order in the future, and make things clear, everyone knows how to do it, isn't it?"

Zhao Ming nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, this is what Xia Guan meant." ”

Xu Qian said: "So I have to bother you, this official plans to go to Ruyifang in ten days, you have to contact the major commercial houses, and some representatives of businessmen, let them come together, everyone sits together, explain things clearly, explain clearly, how about it?" ”

"This ...... It's a good idea. Zhao Ming knew that Xu Qian's words were more useful than any other imperial decrees, as long as Xu Qian was willing to come forward, the impact of commercial taxes would definitely be minimized.

He cheered up and said, "What the adults said is that it is good to speak clearly and clearly. ”

Xu Qian explained: "As for the candidates to participate in the consultation, you governor yamen to draw it up, it is best for people from all walks of life to have, in the future, you can also set this as a rule, for example, at the beginning of each month, the government can personally come forward, in the Ruyi Fang, invite some businessmen and celebrities, sit down there to talk, what difficulties they have, the government try to find a way to solve them, and if the government has any difficulties, you can also ask them to help, everyone sits together calmly, and the words are clear, it is mutually beneficial, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ming didn't know if this method was good or not, but since Xu Qian proposed it, he naturally followed Xu Qian's words and said: "Yes, this is a good way, since the lower officials want to promote it, they must set an example, there should always be a name, but I don't know what name to use?" ”

Xu Qian said in a deep voice: "It is a consultation on governance, it is called the CPPCC, the CPPCC negotiates, and invites some representatives from all walks of life, you can invite some big businessmen, but also invite some small businessmen, since it is a consultation, you can also invite some scholars, officials, gentry, businessmen, scholars, everyone get together, talk with each other, the right is to chat, even if you can't talk about anything, at least get together, at least everyone can enhance some emotions No, what about this official, give you a start, you will follow suit in the future." ”

Zhao Ming repeatedly said yes, his qiē came from Xu Qian, and Xu Qian was his umbrella, so Zhao Ming naturally looked at Xu Qian.

Since the matter was finalized, Zhao Ming didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly returned to the governor's yamen, and then invited all the friends and local officials to come, and roughly said Xu Qian's meaning, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, Lord Xu attaches great importance to this matter, we can't mess things up, but the current invitation is the most troublesome, it's better to be like this, the number of people, for the time being, is set at three hundred, scholars must account for fifty, businessmen account for one hundred, and the gentry, too, invite fifty, others, and some characters elected by each line." , accounting for fifty or sixty people, our officials in the province and the government to make up for other deficiencies. Each government has to nominate a few candidates, and on the side of the scholars, it is for the scholars to choose, and the officials and old men attending the meeting to draw up, what do you think? If you don't have any opinions, just do it, and tomorrow you will draw up a roster, and you have to urge them to do their best, and there is not much time to do, so you can't make a mistake! ”
