Chapter 228: If you investigate it again, you will suffer
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "Actually, the emperor has already replied to this king." β
He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Fugui: "Read." β
Lao Zhu said in his reply that the admission requirements of Guozijian were originally that in addition to being a lowly member, as long as he passed the exam, he could enter. The generals have worked hard, and their descendants are naturally qualified. He will then make a special order to emphasize this matter, so as not to have any scruples in the general's heart.
The generals present all knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is shengming." β
"Thank you for your grace."
"Okay. Come, work. Zhu Bai accepted the letter and nodded, "Zhejiang Cheng announced that the political envoy has jurisdiction over seventy-five counties, and there are three officials from the second rank and above. In addition to the two envoys of the feudal department, the five people each received the supervision of fifteen counties. When the king passes by on the return trip after his inspection, he will check the results. β
If he came in in the morning, Zhu Bai said so.
These generals can justifiably excuse themselves: "This is a civilian matter." It has nothing to do with the military attachΓ©. β
But at this moment, they just kowtowed to thank Lao Zhu for allowing their children and grandchildren to enter the Guozijian to participate in the imperial examination, and they turned their heads and refused to support the county school......
Besides, Zhu Hu has already solved the problem of money and people just now, and they are just using their mouths to supervise it.
Wang Cheng could only say: "Obey the order, Weichen should go all out." β
When the two political envoys saw that the military attachΓ©s were moving to urge the county to learn, the two civil officials still shirked it, wouldn't they slap themselves in the face.
The two of them were busy: "The ministers will work together, and when His Highness comes again, the county school will definitely be opened." β
"Yes, Your Highness rest assured."
Zhu Bai was very satisfied and nodded: "Okay, then please trouble the two adults to take the adults and command a few of them to go to the side to divide." When he was done, he copied the list in two copies and gave it to the king. β
Then Cheng announced that the secretary told them to go aside.
Zhu Bai turned to the envoy and smiled.
According to the envoy: "Your Highness." β
He felt like his calves were shaking.
On weekdays, he interrogates people, but today I feel like being interrogated by Zhu Bai.
Although I feel that I am very unproductive, I can't control it.
This little prince is too powerful, and his aura is too strong.
Zhu Bai: "Ah. My lord. I don't know how many prisoners are executed or exiled in our prison of Zhejiang judges? β
The procurator said: "There are more than 100 condemned to death. There were two or three hundred waiting to be exiled. There are all kinds of people waiting to be punished with rods or something. β
"I have a suggestion. These prisoners are also quite pitiful. Therefore, unless there are great evildoers, murder and arson, and rebellion, it is better to keep them and let them do something for the locality. β
He didn't turn the corner for a moment, and asked blankly, "Ang?" His Highness means ......"
Zhu Bai winked at him: "For example, dredge the canal, strengthen the river embankment, and dredge the drainage ditch in the city to meet the next heavy rain." β
I'll go, little prince, you think that death row prisoners don't work in vain. They all have to eat!! Who will pay for this meal? If I used the little money your father gave me to feed them, it wouldn't be enough for one meal! And they have to find someone to watch them work.
The envoy roared in his heart, and secretly gritted his teeth silently.
Zhu Bai asked gently, "What is the difficulty, my lord?" β
According to the envoy, he could only whisper: "I don't know the opinion of the emperor and the criminal department." β
Zhu Bai said: "My father only replied to me, telling me to act at the opportunity and use the sign of 'I am here in person'. β
When the inspector heard, "Well, what else is there?" Co-authoring is just me alone.
Zhu Bai seemed to suddenly see the prefect standing aside: "Hey, the prefect is also there." β
The prefect shuddered and replied, "Yes." β
Zhu Bai said: "Thank you, please bring the registration book of the commercial tax paid by the merchants in Hangzhou in the past two years. β
Prefect: "Yes." β
Although he knew that it was very likely that someone would die if he took out that thing, Zhu Bai was holding the gold medal of "Ru I Came in Person", and if he didn't take out the booklet, Zhu Bai would be able to kill him now.
The prefect was busy.
Over there, the feudal division and the capital division finished the list and copied it out.
Zhu Bai took the list and looked at it, and handed one to Zhu Hu: "I'm tired of the fifth brother, take it away, and ask the adults about the county school every month." If the fifth brother is willing to run, he can also go down to the county school to have a look. β
Zhu Hu's shortcomings are also his advantages, brainless or persistent. This kind of person arranges a job for him, and he will unswervingly carry it out, hitting the wall and not looking back until it is completed.
When the clan division and the capital division heard that Zhu Bai still had a hand, they really didn't dare to have a perfunctory heart.
The tooth chief of the Hangzhou Official Dental Bureau came in with a group of people.
According to the inspector, take a look: Hey, all the rich families in Hangzhou are here, and it is really lively today.
The feudal division and the capital division secretly complained: What else is this little prince going to do?
The prefect also took the booklet back and handed it to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai handed it directly to Fugui.
Fugui took it, took out a booklet from his arms, and then paired them one by one.
Then he copied a list and gave it to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai took it and glanced at it, and sneered: "Tut-tut, what a big boldness." The emperor ordered a commercial tax of thirty and one, which is very light, and you still have to evade taxes. β
The wealthy businessmen wiped their sweat one by one.
It stands to reason that the sale of goods must go through the bureau. But they didn't want to pay that much tax, so most of the transactions were done privately with acquaintances.
The question is, how did Zhu Bai know?
No, he must be lying to them.
Don't make a sound, just play dead.
Zhu Bai said lightly: "Master Cai." Your family's cloth shop has brought twelve wagons of cloth into the city in the last month alone, but only one cart of cloth has been taxed. β
Master Cai hurriedly said: "Yes, the villain will pay it all at the end of the year." β
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "Okay, then let's go and see last year's." In the second half of last year, you bought a total of 80 truckloads of goods. But you only paid 10 cars of taxes. β
Master Cai wiped his sweat: "The villain was wronged, and he did only sell ten truckloads of goods last year." β
The cloth was sold in bits and pieces, and he used two ledgers himself, which outsiders couldn't figure out at all. He didn't believe that Zhu Bai could have such great powers.
Zhu Bai stared at him: "No. You bought 40 cars from Suzhou, 30 cars from Wuxi, and 10 cars from Changzhou. If you only sell ten carts, where are the remaining seventy carts of fabric? β
Master Cai suddenly woke up.
Although Zhu Bai doesn't know how much he sold, there are large transaction data of various dental stores, and you can know it by comparing the statistics.
The prefect and several adults became nervous.
If they continue to investigate, they will also suffer.
If these merchants dare to hide and not report, they must be going up.
Master Cai lowered his head to wipe his sweat and did not make a sound.
Zhu Bai asked according to the history: "My lord, the law of the Ming Dynasty says how to punish tax evasion." β
