The next thing went well, and the Wang family began to contact their own family connections to build a good relationship for this matter.

On the other hand, the British Duke also began to communicate with the nobles and explain the situation.

When the nobles heard about this, they all expressed their full support for this matter, and promised to contact the civil officials who were good friends with their families to come forward to support this matter.

Of course, this matter is not without twists and turns, and everyone is still a little contradictory in the distribution of official positions, after all, everyone wants to get a good position.

Moreover, according to the plan, the commercial tax reform will be carried out gradually, which means that some official positions may have to wait a long time before taking office, and no one can say whether there will be variables in between.

At this time, the importance of the British Duke was reflected, and only he had enough prestige to suppress the commotion of this gang.

In the end, everyone reached an opinion, and the official position was decided according to the degree of contribution to the matter.

It's just that having said that, Chinese society has always paid attention to personal relationships, but it is inconvenient for everyone on the British side to find it, after all, this matter was organized by the British public, and he has to be neutral as a referee.

Then Li Hao, the actual decision-maker, has become a sweetheart, and for a while, his mansion was like a market.

After Li Hao asked the British public opinion, he did not refuse to come, as long as he gave the gift, he accepted it, and the picture was a rain and dew.

Of course, this is not what Li Hao has been paying attention to recently, and now Li Hao has appeared in the Shen Mansion.

Faced with Li Hao's arrival, Shen Tugang thought that Li Hao was here for the anti-smuggling yamen, so he said: "Regarding the matter of the anti-smuggling yamen, Prime Minister Ouyang has already told me, I will definitely try my best to help you arrange it, you can rest assured."

Li Hao replied: "I have heard the Great Prime Minister say about this matter, and the Great Prime Minister has praised you for being a boxer, let me learn more from you.

It's just that I'm not here today, not for this matter, after all, there are people of insight like you in the court, and this move to benefit the people of the court will never be stopped."

For Li Hao's compliment, Shen Tugang habitually blocked it, but asked curiously: "Oh, yes, then what are you here for today, if I can help, just say it."

Li Hao replied: "That's the case, I consider that if the anti-smuggling yamen is established, it will inevitably need a large number of officials to fill it.

Moreover, most of these officials need to go to various places to serve in various places, so they have to deal with the government offices of various prefectures and counties, which places high demands on the corresponding officials.

It is not only necessary to be familiar with local affairs, so as not to be deceived by local officials when doing things, but also to ensure its reliability and not to be co-opted by corrupt officials.

Therefore, it is necessary to make some preparations in advance, so that after the court passes this proposal, the yamen can be set up as soon as possible?"

In the face of what Li Hao said, Shen Tugang was thoughtful, because he didn't understand whether Li Hao was really dedicated to official business or had any thoughts about the official arrangements.

So he asked, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but although there are many officials in the court, I am afraid that it is not easy to find those who can meet these two conditions."

He bowed his head and pretended to ponder for a while, then asked, "Then what do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but think in his heart that Shen Tugang really deserved to have lived in the sea for a long time, and he could understand the deep meaning with a little bit of wind.

Since Shen Tu had just given the reason, Li Hao answered: "First of all, the candidate must have served in the local area, but he cannot be a person who has lived in the local area for a long time.

Because he has been in office in the local government for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be many of these various involvements, and flaws will come out.

On the contrary, the kind of official who has only been in the local government for one or two terms is the best, don't you think?"

Having said that, where can Shen Tugang not understand what Li Hao means, what is called not long after joining the office, and he has only served one or two terms in the local government.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

Shen Tugang has another statement, anyway, it is a new yamen, and there is no need to transfer the position of the existing officials.

Moreover, the yamen is also under the jurisdiction of the Third Division, and Shen Tugang is also willing to sell Li Hao to save face, so he directly agreed.

Seeing that Shen Tugang was relieved, Li Hao naturally became happier and happier the more he chatted with Shen Tugang, and then mentioned the names of his two senior brothers by the way.

The guests and hosts were happy in the back, and Li Hao accompanied Shen Tu to leave the Shen Mansion after having a meal.

Later, in the continuous tandem of everyone, Li Hao determined that he had enough power to promote the establishment of a new yamen, so he personally proposed this proposal in the court.

Then, as expected, some ministers came out to oppose it, and the reason for the opposition was that this move would make the power of the three divisions soar, and it was Li Hao who was fighting for power.

In addition, it is said that if such a yamen is added, there will be a large number of officials and servants, and it will inevitably lead to a great increase in the amount of money that needs to be paid.

Li Hao naturally refuted these problems one by one and said his own solutions.

It can be heard that Li Hao intends to directly transform from the army in various places to the errand service, as long as the civil and military officials in charge of various places are added.

They still don't agree, anyway, all kinds of quotes and classics want to fight with Li Hao.

Li Hao naturally wouldn't end up in person, otherwise he wouldn't have to attract so many people in advance.

Next, Li Hao temporarily withdrew from the front line to watch the play, and let Wang Shiping and them come up and start a confrontation with a group of Taiwanese officials.

This quarrel lasted for several days, and it was not until the arrogance of the Taiwan admonition was severely suppressed that Ouyang Xiu stood up and made a final decision.

At this point, the establishment of the anti-smuggling yamen was finalized, and it was named the Tax Division, which was listed alongside the three divisions of Salt and Iron, Duzhi, and Household Department.

Its functions and powers are to specialize in the management of commercial taxation, so the functions and powers related to commercial taxation in the three divisions of Salt and Iron, Duzhi and Household Affairs have all been transferred to the tax department for management.

The tax department has one tax envoy, one deputy tax officer, three signators, one Confucian officer, one arrest officer, and 4 arrest officials.

In addition, there is a division in the following 26 roads and four capital mansions, with the judge officer as the chief, and the soldiers and horses are in charge of the soldiers.

Further down, the state capitals set up eucalyptus, with judges in charge of affairs, and Confucius officials, all of whom were detained by officials and assistants.

Of course, this is just a plan, after all, the various roads and state capitals do not even have a yamen, so they are naturally not in a hurry to choose people.

Only the tax envoy was temporarily decided, and Li Hao served as the concurrent envoy, and then the deputy tax envoy was determined by Ouyang Xiu, and he found an old and serious person.

In the final analysis, I still don't feel at ease with Li Hao, and I have to arrange someone to keep an eye on it.

The following location is that Kaifeng Mansion and Yingtianfu need to be determined as soon as possible, otherwise it is not conducive to the next work.

At this point, Li Hao is more inclined to promote the existing officials, after all, they have already done the activities almost enough, and sending someone to take over will inevitably be suspected of stealing the credit.

Ouyang Xiu and they had no opinion on this, so they arranged it so, and the supervisors of the soldiers and horses in the other two places were also decided, and Yuan Wenshao and Cao Shiji of the Xuanning Hou family were to be the leaders.

When arranging the position, Li Hao deliberately talked to Yuan Wenshao, mainly because he didn't know much about Cao Shiji, and let him go to the side for fear of problems.

And Li Hao still has one thing to complete in Yingtianfu, and it is not good to leave it to outsiders.

Therefore, Yuan Wenshao went to Yingtianfu to take office, and Cao Shiji stayed in Kaifeng Mansion and watched under Li Hao's nose.

In addition, in addition to deciding this matter, Wang Shiping's Ying Tianfu Yin was also confirmed, and by the way, Kang Haifeng also went to Kaifeng Mansion to be a pusher.

After these people took office, the commercial tax reform in Yingtianfu was implemented normally.

After finishing these things, Li Hao had time to write letters to Yan Fu and the others one by one, informing them of the transfer of them to the Third Division Yamen.

At this time, the Yongzhao Mausoleum, which was built by Shen Tugang, took more than six months and was finally completed on time.

So everyone in the court could only stop what they were doing and busy burying Zhao Zhen together.

However, there was a small episode at this time, that is, Zhao Zhen died

At that time, Fu Bi had not yet returned to Beijing, so he did not serve as one of the five envoys of Shanling.

But now that Fu Bi is back, he is the emperor again, if he doesn't have a place when Zhao Zhen is buried, he can't say it.

Among them, Ouyang Xiu and the British Duke couldn't move, these two were Zhao Zhen's hand-picked ministers, and even their own status could not make these two people succumb to Fu Bi, so they could only be wronged by Zeng Gong Liang and let Fu Bi take over the position of the honor guard.

After solving this matter, on the day of the selected burial, hundreds of officials and relatives of the emperor set off from the palace and helped Zhao Zhen's coffin to Yongzhao Mausoleum for burial.

And the people in Bianjing City also knelt on both sides of the royal road to send Zhao Zhen, the benevolent monarch, on his last journey.

Looking at the scene of men, women and children crying bitterly on both sides, Li Hao couldn't help but feel that Zhao Zhen had not been busy in vain in the past few decades.

After the large army left Bianjing, some people still spontaneously followed and chased all the way to the outside of Yongzhao Mausoleum.

Of course, they will definitely not be able to enter, and they will not be able to enter even in the future, otherwise they will be questioned, after all, this is where the imperial tomb is located.

Li Hao and others followed the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites to complete the various ritual processes step by step, until the coffin was sent to the underground of the Yongzhao Mausoleum and the mausoleum gate was sealed, so the funeral activity came to an end.

Then everyone returned to Bianjing together, and all affairs could be continued.

But obviously, at this time, some people in the palace couldn't sit still waiting for the results.

So he summoned Li Hao into the palace again to ask about the specific situation.

Li Hao faced Concubine Miao's questioning and replied, "Don't worry, Concubine, now that Li Wei has only gained a preliminary foothold, it will take more time to make a move.

Anyway, now that Li Wei is an official outside, Princess Fukang has entered the palace to recuperate, and there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, so as not to make Li Wei vigilant if there are flaws.

Anyway, I will definitely help you take care of this matter, you just need to wait for my news with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Concubine Miao replied, "I also know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, but I look at my son Huirou's lost look, and I am really a little uncomfortable as a parent.

I will entrust this matter to you, I still have confidence in you, you can do it with confidence.

In addition, I came to you for another matter, since the death of Cao Jingxiu, the last secretary of the Imperial City, the official family has not appointed a new candidate.

Originally, I and the official family didn't care about this matter, but when we were busy with the funeral of the official family, no one in the Imperial City Division took care of it, and there was almost a mess.

I and the official family intend to elect a person, but you also know that I and the official family are not familiar with the affairs of the foreign dynasty after all, so it is better for you to help think about it, and if there is a suitable candidate, you can report it."

Hearing this, Li Hao was excited, you must know that the Imperial City Division is too important, after all, many things in the palace Imperial City Division can be intervened, and it is more effective than the front division of the palace.

Therefore, each promotion of the Imperial City Division is personally selected by the official, and the foreign dynasty cannot interfere, otherwise it is not certain what the emperor will think.

So in the face of Concubine Miao's words, Li Hao did not directly agree, but said: "The promotion of the Imperial City Division has always been appointed by the official family, but now since the concubine is in charge of the dynasty, it is still up to the concubine to set a person, I really can't speak."

In the face of Li Hao's resignation, Concubine Miao said, "I naturally understand your concerns, but I really don't know about the people in the foreign court, so I want you to help recommend candidates.

At this time, only you and I know, and the specific appointment will be determined when you report to someone, and I will see if it is appropriate."

Since Concubine Miao said so, Li Hao also agreed.

After leaving the palace, Li Hao was more motivated to rectify Li Wei's affairs, after all, Concubine Miao gave too much, and if she didn't have to do more, Li Hao felt that it was not practical to hold it.

So after leaving the palace, Li Hao deliberately found Ouyang Xiu, took a few days off, and went to Yingtianfu in person.

Find Yuan Wenshao and Judge Han, who is now Judge Han, and discuss together how to dig a pit for Li Wei.

If Li Wei knew about this, he would probably be able to feel lucky, after all, he could make Li Hao three

The envoy chased to Ying Tianfu to specifically target him, and there should be no one.

In fact, Li Wei is indeed not so honest and honest, under the indulgence of Li Hao and others, he finally couldn't help but reach out to the tax silver, and then it was very logical to be taken down by Li Hao.

Of course, Li Wei naturally didn't give up so easily, although he knew that Concubine Miao had been looking at him unpleasantly for a long time.

But I still had a trace of luck in my heart, thinking that Concubine Miao would pull him for the sake of Princess Fukang.

But in fact, if Li Hao hadn't dissuaded him and asked Concubine Miao to pretend in this matter, it is estimated that Li Wei would have been ordered to break off the marriage and ask for the crime as soon as he was arrested.

However, after listening to Li Hao's persuasion, Concubine Miao also thought that it would not be good to tear her face in front of hundreds of officials.

In addition, Li Hao wanted to use Li Wei's chicken to set an example for monkeys, so the two cooperated in the court to stage a trick of mother-in-law protecting son-in-law and loyal ministers strictly enforcing the law.

At the court meeting, he fought several times, that is, he established the image of Concubine Miao Kuanren, and also portrayed the image of Li Hao's strong order.

Although it may not be possible to hide some smart people, there is no big problem with ordinary people.

The final outcome was that Concubine Miao was strictly persuaded by Li Hao with national law, and finally ordered Li Wei to be demoted and exiled to Lingnan.

In addition, Li Wei did not respect the law of the country and endangered the reputation of the royal family, so Li Wei and Princess Fukang broke off their marriage, and this matter came to an end.

But Li Wei was unwilling to be unlucky by himself, and gave Li Hao an unexpected news before being exiled.
