Like Zhao Hu, there are many people who conceal and underreport assets, and Zhao Cheng, who is far away in Luoyang, noticed it, and he immediately wrote to Zhao Hanzhang, suggesting that she issue a whistleblowing order, that is, rewarding people who report and underreport assets.

Chang Ning, who had already had an opinion, immediately folded and seconded the proposal after hearing about it, and many courtiers followed when the court was neutral, and some even approached the little emperor, suggesting that he should issue a decree to gain fame among the people.

The little emperor didn't want to get involved in such a thing, he was very tired from reading every day, and he had to worry about his own life in his spare time, he really didn't want to deal with these things and these people.

He doesn't have the ambition of the first emperor's brother, he doesn't think that he can be better than Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Ming, Wang Dao and others, and can turn the tide for the Jin family, he is only ten years old, he just wants to live.

I don't want to be hacked to death, I don't want to be poisoned.

So these people who thought they were good for him found him and talked a lot to him seriously, but the little emperor just wanted to throw them out quickly, but he didn't have this right.

He even felt that the other party was deliberately blocking him in the garden, and the guards, chamberlains and palace maids around him were all arranged by Zhao Hanzhang, although they were very respectful to him, but who didn't know that they were loyal to Zhao Hanzhang?

Looking for him in front of them, and letting him meddle in the government, I'm afraid he is not helping him, but tricking him into making a move, and then he ran to Zhao Hanzhang to accuse himself of meritorious service, right?

The little emperor did not hesitate to speculate on these people with the greatest malice.

After Zhao Hanzhang knew about this, he immediately asked people to investigate, and after finding that the official did not truthfully report his assets, he smiled and said, "Then start with him." ”

But it's just him, Zhao Hanzhang didn't implicate anyone else, and after he paid enough money, and fined him for his official position, and ordered him to join the army, she found Chang Ning, who had been folded up, oh, Chang Ning was promoted, she named him Shangshu Zuocheng, an official under Fu Tinghan, mainly responsible for criminal law.

"Chang Zuocheng, I know what you mean, there are many people who underreport their assets, and they are embezzling state property."

Chang Ning looked serious, "If you know it, you should find a way to prevent this kind of thing from developing, and there was such a situation in the Han Dynasty, so why didn't you promulgate the decree together when you issued the decree?" ”

"Since the gentleman knows the history, then he knows why the later decree cannot be implemented, so he has to do it like this?"

Chang Ning said with a serious face: "That is also a few years later, and now that the treasury is short of money, since the king has issued a calculation order, he should be stricter and try to collect more money." ”

Ji Yuan on the side expressed a different opinion, "If it is so strict, won't it lose people's hearts?" What if a large number of scholars move south and leave? ”

Chang Ning snorted coldly: "If they can go, they will leave as soon as the Huns are defeated, and it is just an order, so they will not leave." ”

"In the end, if you lose people's hearts, it will be useless in the future," Ji Yuan said: "If you want to recuperate, then you need these scholars and businessmen to contribute, with Zhao Qiye and Zhao Thorn Shi as the first, people who meet the requirements will hand over some money, even if it is not right, it can temporarily let us tide over the difficulties, why make the relationship too stiff?" ”

Ming Pre bowed slightly: "The calculation of money has been canceled since the time of Emperor Wu, that is to say, the merchants who are still alive have not paid the calculation of money, not to mention that this time the envoy has increased the calculation of money and car and boat fares for the gentry and officials, which is something that has not been done in all dynasties, everyone knows that the envoy is using their money to fill the treasury, feed the people, and support the poor with the rich. ”

If even the Zhao family is clearly opposed, how many people will support Zhao Hanzhang?

Even if she has an army in her hands, she can't suppress everyone, right?

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, agreeing with Ji Yuan and Ming Yu's words.

Before the order was issued, she knew that someone would conceal or underreport it, but she still did not issue a notice, but turned a blind eye and let it go, because she knew that she only collected this money for one year, and she was confident that she would cancel it next year and rely on other ways to revitalize the economy.

Chang Ning lowered his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "How can Seventh Master Zhao and Zhao Tingshi compare to you?" Why don't you do it again? ”

Zhao Hanzhang blinked and said, "I paid the money." ”

"You haven't paid your vehicle and vessel taxes in full."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Didn't I pay enough?" Wait for me to ask. ”

Chang Ning said expressionlessly: "What about Fu Shangshu's carriages, horses and assets, his share, won't you pay it?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang paused and said, "He has no assets." ”

Chang Ning: "What about the car and boat?" The guards around Fu Shangshu, the horses he carried, do these want Fu Shangshu to hand over, or do you want to make Jun hand? ”

Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth and said after a while: "Okay, I'll pay." ”

Chang Ning immediately gave Zhao Hanzhang a list, which listed the names of many people, the first one was Zhao Hanzhang, and the names of Ji Yuan and Ming Yu were also on it, the two of them looked confused, and hurriedly said: "We also have an understatement?" ”

Chang Ning snorted coldly and said, "Your houses and fields in Luoyang have not been reported. ”

Ji Yuan: "...... Luoyang's fields have not produced this year, and the tenants have not been able to find them, nor have they cultivated ......"

Under Chang Ning's gaze, Ji Yuan couldn't say any more, and after a pause, he said, "I'll let people estimate the value when I go back." ”

Chang Ning: "And the loot that Mr. Ji came back from the Northland, you also have to estimate the value, right?" ”

Ming's back tightened, and unfortunately, he also got some loot.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the names on the list carefully, and found that only Zhao Ming and Zhao Cheng were not on the list of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. ”

"Really? But how did I hear that when the envoy came back, he sent two truckloads of books to the bookstore, all of which were salvaged from the Northland, as well as a number of calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, and I saw that Tinghe counted them. ”

This one...... Zhao Hanzhang really didn't know, after all, the state affairs were busy, and she handed over these family affairs to Tinghe.

Zhao Hanzhang clicked the list and asked: "Uncle Ming also received some treasured calligraphy and paintings when he was in Jizhou, could it be that he counted these as worth?" ”

Chang Ning nodded solemnly.

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he was full of admiration, and immediately said: "I will let Tinghe approve the value in a while and make up the rest of the money." ”

Chang Ning's face looked good, got up and shook Zhao Hanzhang, and turned to leave.

Ji Yuan watched him leave, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Zhao Hanzhang, "Me and him, who is in charge of money?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let Chang Ning be Shangshu Zuo Cheng wronged, he should be made the imperial doctor." ”

She turned her head and said to Zhao Yunxin: "Write this down, and remind me when I return to Luoyang and bury the first emperor, so that I don't forget." ”

Zhao Yunxin responded and wrote down this matter in a small notebook.
