The capital is more than 500 miles from Datong.

Compared with the distance between the capital and the southern provinces, it is really not far.

Since it was the first business since the establishment of the IRS, Lu Jiude attached great importance to it.

After this period of adjustment, he has fully entered the role of deputy director of the IRS. And there is also a deeper understanding of the responsibilities of the IRS. If you and others do a good job, if the IRS can exist for a long time, then the status of yourself and others will be unprecedentedly high. Didn't you look at Tian Ergeng's birdman these days, and when he saw him, he had a sour expression?

More than 1,000 fast horses galloped in the wilderness, and Li Zicheng was at the forefront of the team.

When he received the order, he was at a loss.

I finally made a name for myself in the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, why was I got this IRS as soon as I made an order? Fortunately, his doubts did not last long, and His Majesty summoned him alone.

"I have transferred you to the position of Deputy Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, and my main purpose is to collect taxes for me. The IRS will face all sorts of thorny problems when it comes to building a new one. I hope you will be able to charge on the battlefield with the courage to move forward without fear of power. Have the courage to take responsibility and dare to face difficulties. I just need you to remember one thing: everything is in the interests of the country!

Whether it is a prince or nobleman, a courtier, or a landlord or squire, as long as there is tax evasion, tax evasion, and less tax, one word: catch! ”

His Majesty's words made his blood boil, and this was the first time His Majesty had summoned him alone.

Although he always felt that His Majesty looked at him a little strangely, he was still inevitably moved by his trust.

"Director Li, it will be a few dozen miles to Datong. It's getting late, so let's find a place to set up camp. The people below were all tired after running for a day. While he was stunned, Lu Jiude shouted at him.

"Okay! No problem. ”

Li Zicheng slowed down his horse, looked up at the sunset that was about to disappear from the horizon, and said to Lu Jiude.

In fact, what they didn't know was that not long after they left Beijing, they passed by Sun Chuanting, who was ordered to enter Beijing.

At this time, Sun Chuanting was standing quietly outside the palace gate, waiting for Zhu Youzhen's summons.

Naturally, he had already learned the news that His Majesty was going to implement a new policy, and standing outside the palace gate at this time, he faintly felt that His Majesty's summoning of him this time might have something to do with this matter.

Spread into acres.

The officials and gentry paid the grain in one piece.

The two seemingly short new policies that will set off waves in the Ming Dynasty are probably no smaller than those outside the Guan.

After all, Jiannu only wreaked havoc outside the Guan, and could not affect the wealthy landlords in the Guan.

Just as he was thinking, a voice came.

"Sun Zhongcheng, Your Majesty has summoned you in." Judging from the dress, it should be the eunuch next to the emperor.

"I'm tired." Sun Chuanting smiled and arched his hand, and under the leadership of this eunuch, he came all the way to the Qianqing Palace.

After passing through again, he walked in.

"The courtiers and grandsons, knock on the emperor." As soon as he walked into the palace, before he had time to look at the emperor, Sun Chuanting knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Sun Qing is exempt, get up."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting got up from the ground and stood with his head down.

"The rat infestation in Shanxi has subsided now, right?" Zhu Youzhen remembered last year's rat extermination and asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not just a reduction. I'm afraid that now on the ground in Shanxi, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see mice! As soon as the news of exchanging rats for money spread, the people became very interested in catching mice. At first, it was his own home, then in the fields, and finally even in the fields, he could see half-grown children catching mice from time to time. Within two months, the rats were almost extinct. ”

"The First Evolution"

"No one has a crooked mind?"

"Naturally, there are some people with bad intentions, thinking that it is profitable, actually secretly raised rats at home, and I caught and killed dozens of them, plus everyone found that it was too cost-effective to raise this thing, so no one raised it."

When it comes to his work, Sun Chuanting seems to have opened the conversation box and reported in an orderly manner. Zhu Youzhen found that when Sun Chuanting said that he killed someone, he didn't blink his eyes.

"That's good. Rats are an important route for the spread of plague, and eliminating rats will undoubtedly prevent the spread of plague in the first place. It is a great thing for the country and the people. ”

"Your Majesty."

"I don't pursue the reputation of the saint, the drought in Shanxi has become more and more serious in the past two years, if the plague occurs again, I am afraid that the people will not have a way to live." Zhu Youzhen was a little emotional, so he exchanged money for a mouse, which was obviously a matter of benefiting several parties, but in the eyes of some people, it became an absurd move to work the people and lose money. What a fucking irony. After a little recuperation, Zhu Youzhen turned around and told Sun Chuanting about the purpose of summoning him to Beijing.

"I guess you heard about the two new policies I plan to implement before you enter the palace. I wonder what you think about this? ”

"This, minister,"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister feels that the new policy promulgated by His Majesty is indeed a great thing for the country and the people, but when it comes to implementation, I am afraid that it will encounter great resistance. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been more than 200 years of raising scholars, and thousands of scholars and even ordinary people have become accustomed to such an environment, which can not be changed in a while. ”

"I know what you said. Many people will say, this is the way it is, but is it right? Since it is beneficial to the country and beneficial to the people, I will use the courage of a strong man to break his wrist to implement the new policy, one year will not become three years, and three years will not become five years.

As long as I live, these two decrees must be fully implemented in the Ming Dynasty. Unless someone can drive me off this dragon chair! Zhu Youzhen's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he wanted to vent the depression caused by the various rumors he had heard in the past few days.

Sun Chuanting listened, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty is angry! Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and in just a few years, he has collected Taiwan, Liaodong, and North Korea, and he has made great contributions to the two ancestors! Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart the remarks of some young people with ulterior motives. ”

"Can Sun Qing be confident that this matter will be handled well?"

"I don't know what Your Majesty said 、、、"

"Just as you think, implement the New Deal." After a pause, Zhu Youzhen stared at Sun Chuanting's eyes. "I am going to appoint you as the Commissioner of Tax Reform in the Ming Dynasty, who will be responsible for the promotion of the new policy and tax reform in the north and south. Would you like to? ”

"Minister, I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and I will not hesitate to do anything!"

Sun Chuanting agreed without hesitation. His Majesty trusted him so much that he had no reason to refuse.

But the north and the south are not easy to gnaw.

"I'll give you another 3,000 soldiers. No matter what means you use, as long as you get this matter done, the cabinet has a place for you! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Chuanting was pleasantly surprised again and entered the cabinet! The ultimate dream!

Nanzhili includes fourteen prefectures and four Zhili prefectures, and Yangzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou and other rich places are all under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili. The richer a place is, the more people will read and the more officials will be. In such a place, there will be considerable resistance to tax reform.

Sun Chuanting is a literati, but he is also a ruthless person.

A ruthless man who kills people without blinking.

Then let him out and kill him.

"You rest in Beijing for a few days, and the IRS will go to Datong to collect taxes. When the news comes back from there, you can take office. ”

"Went to Datong?"

"Yes, since we want to reform taxes, the royal family can't run. I plan to take the sword from all the vassal kings and set an example for everyone! ”

Sun Chuanting suddenly realized!

It's really ruthless, if you want to collect taxes, you will first cut your own family.

"Your Majesty, Shengming!" At this time, apart from praising His Majesty the Emperor who killed his relatives in righteousness, what else can he say?

"Let's go back. Wang Companion, send a gift to Sun Qing for me. Go to the warehouse and pick up a few bottles of Moutai again, it will be my reward! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Chuanting thanked him again and then retreated with Wang Chengen.

"Sun Zhongcheng, Your Majesty is really very fond of you, this Moutai, except for a few cabinet elders, I really haven't seen him reward others, and return six bottles!" Wang Chengen led a eunuch out of the treasury and said to Sun Chuanting who was waiting with a smile.

"Your Majesty's imperial grace is vast, and the court will definitely not disappoint his high hopes!" Sun Chuanting arched his hand in the direction where the Qianqing Palace was located, and said with a straight face.

"It's good that Sun Zhongcheng has such confidence. Our family just talks casually, and Sun Zhongcheng has to take it to heart. ”

"Chuan Ting understands!"

Sun Chuanting happily carried Moutai back to his residence in the capital. On the other side, Li Zicheng was stationed fifty miles outside Datong City.

"Director Li, what should I do after entering the city tomorrow?" After dinner, Lu Jiude came to Li Zicheng's tent.

"I thought that this time should not be delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the eyes of the whole world will be staring at you and me, and we should be resolute. Take down the Acting King! ”

"If the evidence is conclusive!"

"That's nature. Aren't you the bookkeeper who has been transferred by His Majesty to be proficient in arithmetic? There is also a rangefinder given by His Majesty to measure the land. Still afraid you won't find evidence? ”

"It makes sense."
