Chapter 131: Poor to Sell Soy Sauce and Pickles?
Those who owe it to the court will be returned to me; Those who have eaten the country have spit it out. Not only must they be paid in full, but they will also be severely punished, and these self-proclaimed scholars will be swept away.
It's just a crime of tax arrears, but it's just a slap in the face, which is too light; I want to add some points to them, and the punishment will be very heavy, depending on whether you dare in the future.
According to the current law, the penalty for arrears of money and grain is to hit the board.
And even with such a light punishment, the gentry bureaucracy had a way to escape. If you have money, it's a matter of hiring someone to take a few boards?
Zhu Youxiao was ruthless, and picked up the pen to give instructions to Li Qiyuan, the secretary of the household department, urging the arrears to be suspended.
Since it is already the collusion of the officials and gentry, as soon as the above demands are paid, the common people will suffer; The stricter the urging, the more sad the people become.
Moreover, this is no longer a simple matter of arrears, this is tax evasion, and it is a crime against the law.
Suspension is not appeasement, I have to hold back a big move. At the latest this autumn and winter, it will be time for you to cry your father and call your mother.
Well, I still lack a few Hai Rui, who can make a gift package of 240,000 mu at once, just like the history of the first assistant Xu Jie.
Looking at the emperor's uncertain expression, thinking about the action of writing, Wang Tiqian guessed that the emperor was eyeing what source of wealth again.
That's right, that's it.
Well, looking at the corners of his mouth that slightly pursed his mouth, he seemed to be smiling, but there was a little chill in his eyes, this was thinking of Zhao'er, Wang Tiqian peeked at it, but he looked at it carefully.
The emperor was short of money, and Wang Tiqian knew it very well.
Don't look at Li Sancai, he got more than 4 million. But in addition to the land and houses, there are also things that are "valuable and cannot be spent as money for the time being", such as antique calligraphy and paintings, and the real money is only about one million taels.
These things have not all been moved into the inner warehouse, left and right, and the cash is almost gone.
Then the new head of the household department came to the emperor in a hurry, saying that Li San was a foreign official, and the confiscated income should be returned to the criminal department.
Wang Tiqian still remembers the bewilderment of the young emperor at that time, and he didn't know that there was such a thing!
Then in Li Qiyuan's quotation classics, the young emperor fought and bargained on the basis of reason, and finally won several properties of Li Sancai in Beijing, so he nodded helplessly and painfully.
And this is also an important reason why Wang Tiqian wants to overthrow the big eunuchs in the palace, the emperor is short of money, and the miscellaneous family will help to get it. If the foreign official can't succeed, then start with the inner servant!
Sure enough, Long Yan, the young emperor who had made another income, was happy for several days, and his gaze was as soft as looking at the white lady.
It is completely certain that if you can hold money for the emperor, you can get the grace of the saints, and Wang Tiqian decided to carry out the anti-corruption in the palace to the end.
Who should be next, Li Yongzhen, Tu Liangfu, or Liang Dong?
In Wang Tiqian's thoughts, Zhu Youxiao put down his pen, stretched his waist vigorously, leaned into the chair, and turned his gaze.
Hurriedly collecting his thoughts, Wang Tiqian bowed and stood solemnly, waiting for orders.
After a long time, the young Tianzi's somewhat lazy voice sounded, "Wang Companion, check how much the 'Imperial Wine Room', 'Sweet Room', and 'Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau' can make every day?" ”
Wang Tiqian was stunned for a moment, thinking that these institutions are places to make wine and vinegar pickles, how much oil and water can be copied, and how much silver can be copied?
"I think those shops in the capital should not be idle, selling some high-end goods for the royal family, you can make a lot of money, right?"
Hearing the young emperor's plan, Wang Tiqian felt that his nose was sour, he fell to his knees, and shed tears again, "The emperor, they are all slaves and maids who are incompetent, and they can't make a lot of money for the emperor, so they let the emperor ......"
Zhu Youxiao was startled, looking at Wang Tiqian, who suddenly knelt down and cried, and blinked his eyes, not knowing what kind of madness this slave was smoking.
Listening to the crying, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, this girl, I thought I was so poor that I was going to sell soy sauce and pickles!
"This-" Zhu Youxiao raised his hand to stop, "Stop, Wang Ban, stop." ”
Wang Tiqian stopped his grief and raised his teary eyes to look at the emperor.
"It's true that I'm short of money, but it's not that far."
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Anyway, the palace can't use so much, don't waste it." You find some smart palace maids who can count, and make use of a few shops as soon as possible. If it's a good business, I'll give you a raise. ”
Wang Tiqian blinked his eyes, and understood, this is the emperor's kindness again, and he wants to give the palace people some more benefits!
"The emperor is benevolent, and the slaves and maids thank God on behalf of the palace people." Wang Tiqian kowtowed to thank him, and Zhu Youxiao was a little frightened when he heard this voice.
Isn't it time for the bricks in the temple to be repaved, and the bottom is empty!
Zhu Youxiao tilted his head to observe Wang Tiqian's brain, and was a little suspicious that this guy often kowtowed and practiced some iron head skills.
………………
The coast is out of sight, and as far as the eye can see, there is a boundless sea. The waves hit the side of the ship, gently swinging like a cradle.
Mao Wenlong retracted his gaze, turned to the north, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Far away from Dengzhou, he embarked on his life with a very different history.
More than a dozen large ships were loaded with grain, grass, materials, weapons and armor, all of which were used for the opening of the town of Dongjiang. Go back and expand by a few thousand, plus the sailors who were transferred from Dengzhen, the Dongjiang army can reach 12,000 people.
Mao Wenlong knew that this was just the beginning, and this attack on southern Liaoning rescued tens of thousands of Liao people. In the future, there will be no fewer Liao people who have fled to defect, and it will not be difficult to pull up tens of thousands of horses.
The key is the support of the imperial court, the moderation of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and only when the weapons and materials are sufficient, can Dongjiang Town, which is located overseas, grow and develop, and will have the strength to entangle with the Houjin.
And on this trip to Denglai, Mao Wenlong recognized Yuan Keli's holy family. The emperor not only entrusted him with full powers, but also awarded Jieyue and Shang Fang swords, and sent several Jinyi guards as Yuan Keli's personal soldiers.
The emperor, holding the festival and the Qincha, the official of the feudal territory, I am afraid that in the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli is the most holy favor and the most powerful governor.
In other words, Yuan Keli's attitude determines the fate of Dongjiang Town, and if you support it, you will prosper, and if you dislike it, you will lose.
Looking at it now, Yuan Keli still has great expectations for Mao Wenlong, and tries his best to meet the material needs of Dongjiang Town.
But Mao Wenlong knew that if there was no merit, Yuan Keli would not be able to explain, and the attitude of the imperial court would change.
Focusing on Liaodong and ignoring the coast, the argument that once had the upper hand in the court will make a comeback, and it is not impossible for resources to be tilted towards Liaodong.
"Dashuai." Vice Admiral Chen Jisheng walked onto the deck and said, "Is it possible to change the route to Guanglu Island first and stop at Sanshan Island?" ”
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need to stay, just take a look from afar." ”
Chen Jisheng's thoughts, Mao Wenlong naturally knows.
According to Yuan Keli's arrangement, Dongjiang Town will occupy the islands along the coast of Liaodong, attack with three tired enemies, so that Jiannu will lose one and the other, and then use Denglai's troops to attack the four guards in southern Liaoning.
