Chapter 103 The "Wolf" Outside the Tax Collector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs
After three months of training, the Longwei battalion can finally go out on a mission, this time only one hundred of them are left among a thousand people, and the rest of them are secretly sent out of Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, and the Western Turks, among which Cheng Chusi and Duhe went to Tuyuhun, Cheng Chuliang and Qin Huairen went to Xue Yantuo, and finally Cheng Chubi and Fang Jun went to the Western Turks, but the number of people they went to was not the same, of course, the environment they encountered would be different, in order to keep it secret, this time they went to the lottery to decide, and only had a task for them, what was it, and was not told, As for the black army, they are also prepared, but they and the Longwei battalion are not in the same place, and they are not together when they fight, this is also Li Yong's insurance for both sides, he still has to keep the secret of the firearms, the Longwei battalion is not his Xishan battalion, Cheng Chuji and others were given a three-day holiday to go back to say goodbye to their parents, and Li Yong looked at these recruits who kept walking out of the barracks, and he was also a little uneasy, but for the future of the empire, he had to do this, this is a rare opportunity, he and Li Tiezhu said.
"Tiezhu, this time you led the team to Tuyuhun, remember that everything is important to save your life, and when you can't do anything, you are allowed to take them back to the territory, do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes."
Li Tiezhu's mood was very excited and heavy, because when the personnel were determined, Li Yong talked to him alone, and he clearly remembered Li Yong and him that day.
"You're not young anymore, don't keep with you, it's time to go out and lead a team to practice alone, you are no worse than those guys in Xishan, you have made meritorious achievements, when the time comes, I will help you propose to Pei Qing."
"Boss, I'm ......"
"I don't know you yet, I ran to the theater two times in three days, okay, your boss knows your thoughts, as long as Pei Qing is interesting to you, three years later, I will personally help you propose."
"Thank you, Boss, I won't let you down."
Cheng Zhihei took his two younger brothers back to the Lu Guogong Mansion, and the people in the house also received the news that the three young masters had returned, and they had already packed up everything and waited for them to go home, Cheng Yanjin and the Lu family had not seen their children for three months, only knew that they were in Zuo Wuwei's Longwei Camp, after being surrounded by the high wall built by Li Yong, no one knew what secrets were in the Longwei Camp, but they knew what slogans they shouted every day, but they were very neat, and the three brothers of Cheng Zhisi returned to the Luguo Mansion in ordinary robes, Because of the regulations of the Longwei camp, they are not allowed to wear military uniforms and carry weapons after leaving the camp, and the brothers are also used to wearing this kind of ordinary robes, and feel more comfortable than those silk and satin wears, when Cheng Yanjin and Lu saw their three sons, Lu's tears flowed, because the three of them were as white and elegant as they were at the beginning, and now they are all bronzed skin exposed to the sun, and the whole person looks more masculine, and the three of them stand straight like a javelin, exuding the unique temperament of a soldier, The three of them raised their heads and saluted Cheng Yanjin and his wife side by side, of course, it was the kind of military salute of later generations, because the Longwei Battalion was a copy of the Xishan Battalion, so the military regulations knew that everything was the same, but the weapons and equipment were different, and Li Yong did not set up military thinkers to brainwash them, after all, this army did not belong to him, it belonged to Li Er, or belonged to the emperor's private army, and Li Yong's Xishan Battalion belonged to the country, not to anyone, they only served the country. Cheng Yanjin saw that his three sons were satisfied, and each patted them on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, okay, Li Yong's kid is really good at training, in three months, just three years have trained you to look like real soldiers, okay, great, come, drink two glasses with my father, and tell me about your Longwei camp."
Cheng Yanjin laughed heartily and led Lu to the banquet hall, but he was pleasantly surprised to find that the three sons were very sensible and waited for them to sit down before they sitting, and they sat very upright, with a straight waist, so that the old father happily drank three glasses in a row.
"When you go home, don't be like the barracks, relax, you all scared your mother."
"Yes, your brothers have changed so much that they have scared me and your father."
"I'm sorry mother, I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while."
"Come on, eat the vegetables, and see how thin you all are."
"Mother, we're not thin, look at my muscles."
Cheng Zhibi pulled up his robe, revealing the results of his three-month training, Cheng Biting Jin and his wife took a look, it can be said that their little son was full of tendon meat, Cheng Biting Jin patted his hand, and then let the other two sons also show him, the result was the same, this made Lao Cheng very happy, and the brothers also returned to the habit of home, and began to talk to their father and mother about everything in Longwei Camp, saying that Li Yong couldn't move at night to gather urgently, and smoked them with smoke, sneak attack them, and the Lu family who listened to it was distressed, But Lao Cheng slapped the table and applauded.
"Li Yong's kid's training method is really wonderful, and it won't be long before you can definitely become a strong army."
The scene in Cheng Biting Jin's Mansion also happened in Qin Mansion, Du Mansion and Fang Mansion, the next day these old goods took their children everywhere to show off, and those who could not be sent to Longwei Camp cried, so they all looked for Li Yong one after another, which scared Li Yong, and co-authored his Longwei Camp, no, Li Er's Longwei Camp became a shelter for the children of Chang'an City? If you can't provoke it, you will hide, so you will not see it directly, and let out the words, I want to enter the Longwei camp and find the saint, he agreed, I only accepted, and now it became a siege of Li Er, which made Li Er cry and laugh, who made him the real leader of the Longwei camp, Cheng Zhihei said goodbye to his parents three days later, just said that he had a task, and he would go home in three months, Cheng Yanjin and others just told them to listen to the orders of Shangguan in everything in the barracks, and not to be like before, so they embarked on the road to the battlefield for the first time, All the teams sent secretly set off in batches, under the arrangement of Li Er's hundred horsemen and Li Jing, they left Chang'an unconsciously, Li Yong was also idle, there would be no more training tasks in the intermittent time, the battalion was called to those veterans and a few of his guards to guard, Li Yong's safety could only be re-arranged, the good days did not pass for a few days, Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao were like angry little daughters-in-law to Li Yong who was drinking tea leisurely, and Li Yong was almost choked to death by the tea, and only after Li Yong's pacification did he know what happened, It turned out that Li Er didn't know that he had pumped that tendon, and he actually raised the commercial tax, which was originally a good thing for the tax on the treasury, but he didn't understand and arranged for Li Tai, who didn't understand even more, to assist the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do something, and also engaged in a post dedicated to collecting commercial taxes, the tax collector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is not a problem, the most important thing is that the second goods may have gone crazy in order to compete with his brother for the position of the prince, and he actually used the people of the Li family in Longxi to say that it is his own people who are obedient. But this commercial tax officer is an out-and-out double-standard person, to put it bluntly, it is only for the unexpected industry of the family clan, Li Yong can see no matter how stupid he is, this is the ghost of those people again, but they can get Li Tai into the water, or use each other, because since Li Yong sent a pair of shoes for the prince Li Chengqian to return to normal walking, Li Tai included Li Yong in the list of princelings, and looked for opportunities to deal with Li Yong all the time. I can only temporarily stop and look for another opportunity, and then I really found it for them, what is that, that is what Li Yong said in the Taiji Hall that day, the treasury must be rich, and it can only rely on commercial taxes, so they paid attention to it, although Li Er, who was already poor, tasted the sweetness of selling weapons, but his treasury was still poor, so under the temptation of these people, he agreed to this matter, Li Tai also hit it off with these, Li Yong had been training in the military camp some time ago, and he didn't know about it, Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao also knew that it was a good thing for the state to increase commercial taxes, and they also actively cooperated, but slowly found that it was not right, this tax rate was increasing every month, not fixed, outrageously, in just over two months, the tax rate has tripled, and Li Yong's industry was originally a maximum of more than two million taxes a month, but by these hungry wolves, it directly soared to more than four million taxes, the most infuriating thing is that those family members turned out to be the same tax rate as before, and they should evade taxes, and they should evade taxes, and they should evade taxes. And those tax collectors went to Li Yong's property or the industry with a good relationship with Li Yong every once in a while to check the taxes, which made the chickens and dogs restless, Li Yong said with a smile after listening to it.
"These people, I really don't know what to say about them, they forgot their pain so quickly, what kind of tax collector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs should call him a "wolf" outside the tax collector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, dare to be so blatant, and he is not afraid that we will collect evidence of his crimes and serve them in a pot? ”
"This time they learned smartly, I have already asked people to check him, this tax collector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is actually a little minion, even if we bring him down, someone else will replace him soon, and the palace is also poor and crazy to do this."
"I'm an old man, many times he is cunning like a loach, but sometimes, if he is hot-headed, he just pats his head and does it first, who made him the boss?"
"So what now? We can't let them continue like this, our business has been greatly affected. ”
"Don't worry, you forgot that I taught you how to make accounts, if you talk about making false accounts, you are not their ancestors?"
"Hehe~ I understand, seeing that we forgot everything in a hurry, it's still the princess you have a good brain."
"Don't put a top hat on me, you're just a fan of the authorities, plus you're a little anxious, so I didn't think of it for a while, as long as I give you a little time, I'll definitely think of it."
After knowing how to do it, Zheng Liwan took Wu Cao, who was going crazy, to the account room, and then gathered all the accounts to start fake accounts, Li Yong knew that those people would be miserable, sure enough, under the accounts of Zheng Liwan and other masters, the seamless fake accounts were made, even if there was no professional accountant in the later generations, they couldn't find out the clues, not to mention that in this era, they would only do the ledger of the running account, Li Tai and those people found that the income on Li Yong's industrial account was getting less and less, which was originally a happy thing, But it didn't take long for them to laugh, this month all of Li Yong's industries collected taxes are only consistent, this is still Zheng Liwan specially gave them charity, now the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs even Li Er has fried the pot, last month also collected Li Yong's business tax of more than 4 million, this month is directly only consistent, but Li Yong's industry is still hot every day, but the number on the account book can not find loopholes, because the tax of the Tang Dynasty is based on the amount of the transaction after the transaction, Li Yong's account book of all industries is made of watertight, There is no deal at all, what taxes do you collect, and they can't find out, they found out that Li Yong is too terrible, of course, this tax collector wolf was naturally put into prison and waited for Lingnan, but as Zheng Liwan said, another new wolf to replace this incompetent wolf will take office immediately, this time he sent people to watch at the door of Li Yong's industry every day, but he still can't find clues, why is this? This sentence revolves around the minds of Li Er and Li Tai who covet Li Yong's industry.
