Wang Xin asked the craftsmen to mint a large number of 'imperial silver coins', and then flowed to the market in batches, whether it was an official or a powerful person, they were willing to accept the imperial silver coins.

Basically, every time the imperial silver coins are issued, they will be exchanged by those powerful, nobles, and merchants in the shortest possible time.

Seeing this, some of the ministers of the imperial court wrote to the king to limit the number of exchange coins in order to prevent ordinary people from being unable to exchange imperial silver coins.

As a result, these letters were all suppressed by Wang Xin, and he did not explain or object.

What kind of silver money do ordinary people exchange, and copper coins can't be spent? How much property do ordinary people have, and how many coins can they exchange for?

Naturally, these silver coins are to harvest a wave of wool from nobles and heroes first.

If those nobles and nobles knew that this imperial silver coin would become normal in the future, would they regret this operation today?

Huiji County, since the Huai State destroyed Wu Yue that year, has vigorously developed in this land, and now this Wu Yue land has become the land of fish and rice.

Wu Zixu opened the canal in those years, repaired the canal, got millions of acres of fertile land, coupled with the silkworm breeding that was vigorously promoted during the Huaiguo period, there are a large number of cloth, silk and grain production in this Huiji County every year.

These things are naturally indigestible locally, so they are basically sold, and with the canal connected here, commerce is very prosperous.

Although Gusu, the county governor of Huiji County, is not one of the five capitals, its prosperity can be said to be not inferior to the five capitals, and even except for Jinling and Huai'an, the other companions are not as prosperous as Gusu.

Wang Xin asked the merchant government to order to check the commercial tax, the most important thing to check the commercial tax is naturally the several cities where commerce is prosperous, Chang'an because of the Silk Road, prosperous commerce, Jinling and Gusu, these cities are the first time to carry out the inventory.

Of course, there is also the Shendu Luoyang, but the Shendu Luoyang is full of nobles, and ordinary people really dare not investigate, Wang Xin directly asked the four princes to go to investigate.

The Shang government decree decided to start the inventory from Gusu.

The four princes checked the Luoyang commercial tax, this is basically no problem, you dare to evade taxes at the feet of the Son of Heaven, then don't blame the Son of Heaven for attacking hard.

More people paid attention to the Shang government order, and the imperial court's envoys came all the way to Gusu, thousands of miles away, although Gusu is not like the old capital of Jinling, but it is also the old land of Huaiguo. There are many nobles, if you can deal with the business tax problem in Gusu, then the business tax in other places will be solved.

After learning that the imperial court envoy came directly, many people in Gusu immediately panicked, and basically all the businessmen began to look for their own masters, wanting to successfully pass this inventory, but unfortunately even their lords were not very sure this time.

After Shang Fuling came to Gusu, he directly lived in the post house in Gusu City. The imperial envoys basically lived in post houses, in order to prevent the imperial envoys and local officials from secretly colluding with each other.

After all, there are embroidered envoys and secret guards, and if these envoys really dare to collude, it is definitely a dead word.

The composition of Gusu City is more complicated, including the royal family, of course, these clans are now a little far away, and there are some remnants of the Six Kingdoms, who migrated after the defeat of the Six Kingdoms, as well as the Wu clan, and the descendants of Wu Junqingji.

Some of these people held high-ranking positions in the court, while others declined. After the merchant government order came here, he didn't delay at all, and directly began to check the commercial tax and the amount of trade here.

Although these merchants evade taxes and there is no record in the accounts, the trade volume of Gusu City can still be roughly estimated through the annual import and export of goods in Luoyang and other cities.

After complicated calculations, a rough figure was obtained, after seeing this value, and then compared with the current tax value, the face of the merchant government changed, in the city of Gusu, the amount of tax evasion and tax evasion by these merchants was so large that the number of people was simply mad.

"There are so many tax evasions, how dare these people? How dare they? Shang Fu Ling said with an ugly face.

Back then, Wang Jing turned a blind eye to the nobles and officials, allowing these people to do business to gain more benefits, and at the same time prospering the economy, but he didn't expect that these people were getting bolder and bolder, and tax evasion became more and more unscrupulous.

Shang Fu Ling stayed at the post station for half a month, and after figuring out the situation, he began to investigate those merchants. As for being secretly assassinated by these people in Gusu City, if you really want to do this, Shang Fuling will immediately die of laughter.

If the envoy of the imperial court is killed, it will not be a liquidation of commercial taxes at that time, as long as there are nobles and heroes involved in this Gusu City, none of them will be able to escape. The main offender is the three tribes, and all the others must be sent to exile in the Western Regions and Liaodong.

And if he dies, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely compensate his family at that time, and his son will definitely be given a heavy responsibility to serve as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries in the future, and the family will also get a lot of benefits.

He is over fifty years old this year, he can't live for a few years, his own ability is limited, and he can't be promoted, if he can exchange it for family wealth, he is still very willing.

"Shangguan, the Chen clan controls a large amount of silk, and the taxes it pays are less than one-tenth, and the officials in the city collude with him, and the nobles behind them are the Xu clan, if they are moved"

The subordinates quickly found out the most tax evasion, but they were hesitant about these people, and when the Shang Fu Ling heard this, he said directly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty gave a death order this time, so you don't have any scruples." ”

"Wait another day, if they don't come tomorrow, then just take someone to raid the house!"

"If these people want to be decent, then give them decency and let them make up the taxes themselves, but if they don't want to be decent, then let's help them be decent!"

Hearing the words of the Shang Decree, everyone immediately relaxed.

"Go and send someone to sort out a few warehouses first, ready to store your belongings!"

"Yui!"

The next day, after seeing that the Chen family did not react at all, the Shang government ordered that someone directly send someone to confiscate the Chen family, and all the Chen family's descendants were arrested, and the entire Chen family's property was also investigated.

After seeing this situation, the entire Gusu City was trembling, and many people began to take the initiative to pay the business tax, and after failing to catch the Chen family, the Shang government order was not polite at all, and directly copied the Xu family.

You must know that the Gusu Xu family and the Luoyang Xu family are from the same branch, although the relationship is far away, but it is also a royal office. As a result, the house was raided by the order of the Shang government, and the entire Gusu City was shaken.

Next, the Shang government order was even more deadly attack, arresting a large number of merchants and nobles in the city, and several warehouses prepared in a short period of time were full.
