Since ancient times, scholar-bureaucrats and emperors have shared the world, so the prestigious class can transcend the common people and enjoy many privileges.
This is one of the official ships plying on the canal that are not subject to inspection.
Which of the wealthy families has few officials behind them, and which family has few officials. No matter whether they are in court or serving as officials, they can sail unimpeded on the canal by raising the flag. This has been the practice for thousands of years, and no one
To be more realistic.
Throughout the dynasties, officials used official ships to carry goods in exchange for money.
But now, if it is used for tax evasion, it cannot be tolerated.
"Keep talking!" Zhu Yunxi suppressed his anger. The reason why Jing Qing came from the local area to the capital for an audience was definitely not that little bit.
"I also discovered that some wealthy families, rich businessmen, officials, gentry, and powerful families are connected with Japanese!"
Zhu Yunxi's face turned ferocious, "What's the secret? But it has something to do with those Japanese pirates?"
Since the Jing Navy was established to specifically deal with Japanese pirates, the number of Japanese pirates that have invaded the coast since the Hongwu period has become less and less common every day. These pirates are now entrenched in the outer seas to collect protection fees from passing merchants.
To make a living.
"The bulk goods of the profiteers were actually sold to Japanese merchants from Ningbo Port!" Jing Qing said sternly, "Compared with canals and land routes, customs taxes are easier to evade. The profiteers used fishing boats to send the goods out to sea.
Then load and unload large ships at sea."
"They were trading cash with the Japanese! The Japanese were rich in silver and the quality was good. The profiteers collected the fine silver and came back to smelt it again..."
"They dare to mint coins privately?" Zhu Yunxi said with a murderous look on his face.
"You absolutely don't dare to mint coins. It just mixes the collected silver with things and makes it impure!" Jing Qing said, "Use this impure silver to buy raw materials from the private sector. If you have to, pay taxes.
The money is waiting!”
"Huh! You really know how to settle accounts!" Zhu Yunxi sneered.
Just imagine, those profiteers doing business with the Japanese received only the purest silver. After they came back, they could add anything to it, even if they added 30%, it would be equivalent to 30% more income. Just like ten thousand taels of silver, directly
It became thirteen thousand taels.
I added 30%, which is still conscientious.
The purchasing power of private silver has always been sufficient. They then use this silver to buy things, and the price difference caused by one entry and one exit is far from being measurable in numbers.
"What does Zhang Shan, the Chief Secretary, do for a living?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "I made him the Chief Secretary because I saw that he was diligent and ethical in his work in the past. Is this how he is diligent?"
Jing Qing paused and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Zhang Buzheng is a mature man and has a very virtuous official reputation. He may not be aware of the following things. Even the minister visited secretly, spent a lot of money, and bribed many people.
, I just asked!”
Tie Xuan told him before he came.
You can talk to the emperor about these things, but it is best not to draw the emperor's anger to Zhang Shan. Firstly, Zhang Shan is indeed unaware of many things, and his official methods are very different from theirs. Secondly, after all, Zhang Shan
Shan's daughter is now a noble concubine.
There are some things that you need to be careful about!
"Huh, he doesn't seek advancement as an official, he doesn't seek merit but no faults!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
"And the Jin Yiwei!" Zhu Yunxi had nowhere to vent his anger, "What do they do for food? Don't they know these things?" He said to Wang Shai, "Let He Guangyi get out of the palace!"
Wang Shai quickly said, "I obey the order!"
After a while, Zhu Yunxi drank a few sips of cold tea, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Jing Qing, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all I've found so far!" Jing Qing bowed his head and said, "Before I came, I discussed with Tie Xuan that if we want to implement the New Deal in Zhejiang, we must break all the old things. The wealthy officials, gentry, and wealthy families must no longer be accommodating or appeasing.
To be humane, arrest those who deserve to be arrested and kill those who deserve to be killed. Only in this way can we be intimidated!"
"You are the Inspector, I give you the power, don't be afraid, kill!" Zhu Yunxi said coldly.
Zhu Yunxi had no pity at all for the wealthy officials and gentry in Jiangnan.
During the rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, these people were the vanguard in suppressing the rebels. Speaking of which, the main enemy the old man faced back then was the landlord armed forces composed of these people.
After occupying the south of the Yangtze River, the old man focused on the finance and taxation of the south of the Yangtze River, expanded his army, and finally made the Northern Expedition by snatching money from the pockets of these people with the handle of a knife.
Historically, once the old man died, the Ming Dynasty's taxes in Jiangnan became less and less year by year.
Until late tomorrow, it was almost impossible to collect it.
When the Qing army entered the customs, the Aixinjueluo family was not as easy to talk to as the Zhu family. Not giving money? Kill them with a big knife! In a few years, do it again!
"You go back and tell Tie Xuan that what I say will always count." Zhu Yunxi said solemnly, "The new policy cannot be delayed, and these tax evasion and corruption matters cannot be delayed. If you are given the power, you must use it!"
"My lord, I obey the order!" Jing Qing bowed.

"Old Wang, where are you going? I'm in a hurry!"
As soon as Wang Sha came out of the store, he met Cao Guogong Li Jinglong who was waiting for an audience outside. Behind Li Jinglong was a nervous young man. Apparently, the young man had a very similar face to Li Jinglong.
From the looks of it, it should be the Master.
"The Za family is looking for someone to deliver the order to Commander He!" Wang Shai said, stretched out his hand to summon a young eunuch, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Li Jinglong listened for a long time with his ears pricked up. When the other party finished speaking, he grabbed Wang Sha and said, "Old Wang, tell me, is Lao He going to be in trouble?"
"How could the Zajia know? The Zajia is the one who spreads the news!" Wang smiled shamefully. There were some things he didn't dare to say nonsense.
"Hey, you are still hiding from me. How can we tell the truth about our friendship?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Mr. Cao Guo, please don't lie to the Zajia family!" Wang smiled mockingly.
That means Lao He is going to be unlucky. Seeing this, Li Jinglong thought to himself.
Because in the past, when the emperor wanted to see the commander of the royal guards, he would just let the palace guards find him. There was no need for the eunuch to pass the message. The eunuch's message was usually very serious, and it also meant that the emperor was angry.
"Lao He is a very down-to-earth person, why did he make Master Long live angry?" Li Jinglong thought to himself.
"Cao Guogong, the Za family is about to go in, please stop pulling on the Za family's sleeves!" Wang Shai waved his hand.
Li Jinglong suddenly realized, he let go of Wang Shai's sleeves, then glared at the young man behind him and said, "Dead people, wooden piles, no eyes. Haven't you seen Mr. Wang yet?"
The young man quickly possessed him and said, "I've seen Mr. Wang!"
"Don't dare! It's your young master! I want to call you Young Master!" Although Wang Shai has a high status now, he still knows his duty.
Cao Guogong's son is also a serious relative of the emperor, and a slave like him would not dare to support him.
"Young master, he is just a junior!" Li Jinglong smiled and said angrily to his son, "Why are you so stupid? Call me Uncle Wang!"
The young man quickly bowed his head again, "Uncle Wang!"
"Stop, kill the Za family!" Wang Shai quickly waved his hand, "Others have heard it, it's the Za family's fault for not respecting dignity!"
"Why are we brothers so inferior?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"The Za family is about to go in! Let's talk later!" Wang Shai glanced inside and quickly turned around and left.
~~~
"Dad!" Li Qi, the son of Li Jinglong, looked at Wang Shai's back and whispered, "He's just a eunuch..."
"I'll fucking kick you to death!" Li Jinglong was furious and pulled his son's ears, "You will soon be working as an errand in the palace. How can you say such nonsense? A eunuch? That is the steward of the emperor's side.
Eunuch?"
"Don't talk about you, you, me, and I have to try to please everyone!"
"Daddy, daddy!" Li Qi begged for mercy, "It hurts!"
Li Jinglong let go of his son, "If you weren't in the palace, I would kick you to death right now!" As he said that, he rolled his sleeves and said, "Who are you like to be so stupid?"
"I was born by you, who do you think I look like?" Li Qi retorted.
"I was so beautiful when I was your age!" Li Jinglong said angrily, "Why did I give birth to such a thing like you!"
Li Qi pouted, "I didn't let you give birth!"
"I............"
Just when Li Jinglong was furious, someone inside shouted, "It is said that Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao State, and Li Qi, the heroic cavalry officer, are here to see you!"
