The imperial officials really have no way to stop them.

They could stop Zou Xueyu from checking accounts from the first year of Hongwu in the court.

But they had no way to stop them. Zou Xueyu discovered the corruption cases that were discovered during the 24th year of Hongwu to the present. Similarly, once officials who had stepped down or transferred to another place were found in these cases, Zou Xueyu's Zhili Governor's Office also had the power to continue to investigate.

Since the Zhili Governor's Office frequently made moves, there has been a lot of wailing in the territory of the 18th Prefectures of Zhili Road, and countless families are hanging on the beams.

With the joint cooperation of the tax soldiers of the Taxation Bureau, the gold and silver price ratio has been completely spread throughout Zhili Road.

When the Ming Dynasty silver quotation requested the court to implement a unified gold and silver price-to-counter ratio across the entire country, and it was soon recognized by officials headed by the cabinet, this system was immediately issued to the court in the form of an emperor's imperial edict and announced to the world.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty had a fixed and unified economic system.

Under the general trend, even if there are still some people in Zhilidao trying to save the bankrupt family business, they are powerless.

The merchants outside Zhili Dao, with the keenest sense of smell, began to enter Zhili Dao in large quantities.

At this time, these merchants naturally would not have much sympathy for those of Zhilidao's peers who suffered heavy losses. At this time, they would only think about being ahead of everyone and buying industries under the names of their peers in Zhilidao.

Zhu Chuang looked at the people in front of him and felt that his methods in recent years were still too kind.

Based on the results discussed by the people in front of him, those who participated in this incident, one of the people involved in the incident could not escape.

Compared with these people, I am still too kind.

Zhu Ren thought silently in his heart whether he would complain to his ancestors after returning to Taimiao today.

I am the kindest child of the Zhu family.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi said, "The eighteen prefectures of Zhili Road account for half of the commercial tax. If they were good at operating, the people of Zhili Road would be the richest in the Ming Dynasty. However, in recent years, the government deceived the superiors and imposed heavy taxes on the subordinates. The people's money was empty, and the court did not get any benefit. The final infamous was still the court."

"The merchants are pursuing profits, but their nature is." Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not change his face, and there was a bit of irony between his eyebrows: "The merchants just took the lead in communicating with both places, and became the richest people in the world. In this situation, my Ming Dynasty will definitely correct it."

Zou Xueyu, who is in charge of Zhili Dao, also agreed: "To make producers rich, to allow the people to buy more things with the same money, so that they can be considered the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty."

What does a prosperous era look like?

In the past, when a country is full of national treasury and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no way to pick up the remains, and if all countries come to pay tribute, it can be considered a prosperous era.

But now.

However, Zou Xueyu believed that just because the country is rich and the people can eat enough is not considered a prosperous era.

Only by giving the people more money and buying more things can they be considered rich.

Have a full stomach?

That is just an obligation that a country should fulfill to the people.

After all, the people have also made some efforts for this.

Zhu Yunxi looked around and saw that this place gathered in the villa at the foot of Baoshan, silently, and the shrubs and green plants everywhere were created exquisitely.

Unique Jiangnan garden construction technique.

In the vague corner, you can see some maids hiding, waiting for the summons at any time.

He whispered: "The General Administration of Salt Transportation of Lianghuai... I have always read history and learned that in the former Han Dynasty, salt and iron were the official office. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, all the wastes were prospered, and the court could not take care of everything. Because of the affairs of the nine borders, they could only use salt production to transfer it to the people.

Now Zhili Road is in line with the new policy of Hongwu. Can salt affairs in Lianghuai be changed?"

Where is the richest merchant in Zhili Road?

Suzhou Prefecture is not considered a good one, and Songjiang Prefecture is not considered a good one.

Only Huai'an Prefecture, the salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture are the richest.

The famous Yangzhou Skinny Horse is also caused by the money in the hands of countless wealthy salt merchants in the Lianghuai area.

Zou Xueyu remained silent about this.

Although he is now the governor-general in charge of Zhili, he has no intention of taking action against Lianghuai Salt Affairs in his plan.

Zou Xueyu's current plan is to take back the power of the local governments of Zhili Road, suppress those greedy merchants, and then truly carry out their own efforts to benefit the people of Zhili Road.

Xia Yuanji glanced at Zou Xueyu sitting opposite him and knew what the supervisor was thinking.

He thought for a while, but he said, "Last year, His Highness visited the northern tour and rectified the local area on Shanxi Road. In the third year of Hongwu, the Shanxi merchants who implemented the opening-central system enjoyed the emperor's kindness, but did not want to be loyal to the country. In the case of Shanxi merchants on Shanxi Road, the Ministry of Revenue counted all the goods, and the total amount was over 50 million taels.

The salt affairs of Lianghuai are related to people's livelihood and are comparable to those of the Shanxi merchants. How much profit does the court have? How many families can eat enough salt? According to what the Xiaguan thought, the salt affairs of the world should be taken back to the country as soon as possible."

"Let's check it out together."

Zhu Yunxiu spoke softly, but his eyes looked at the silent Zou Xueyu.

Zou Xueyu knew that this burden was really on his shoulders.

He stood up.

"I accept the order."

...

Zhili Road finally launched a vigorous rectification campaign.

Led by the Zhili Governor's Office, the three judicial departments jointly handled the case together with the Taxation Office, the Ming Bank, the Ming Business Office, the Jinyiwei, and dozens of yamen.

Because Zou Xueyu, the governor of Zhili, was busy with everything, investigated the commercial taxation matters of the 18th Prefectures of Zhili Road since the 24th year of Hongwu, and handed over to the Qin King Zhu Chuang.

After taking over the job, Zhu Ren did not do the first thing he did was to unify his thinking, say a few words of encouragement, and promise some tempting benefits.

He just summoned a few people from the Governor's Office and the Taxation Department.

The luxurious and majestic regular clothes of the Prince of Ming made Zhu Ren look majestic. He just sat there with an expressionless face, and was not angry and did not dare to look directly at him.

"I won't say anything beside me, you all know."

"I only say one word."

"I will not investigate the case, but you will. You will not kill people, but I will kill people."

"So, you can go and investigate. Once the case is confirmed, I will kill people with a knife."

"I have finished speaking. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Chuang's words were murderous, but there was not much expression on his face.

It was really too late to chat with the ancestors of the Zhu family last night. Zhu Chuang now just wants to put things on the people below as soon as possible so that he can go back and find a place to sleep.

Huaigong, the clerk of the Zhili Governor's Office, was also present today.

"Prince..."

Guan Huaigong stood up, bowed his fists and arrived in front of Zhu Chui who was about to get up and leave.

Zhu Chuang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

But the other person was already standing in front of him, Zhu Ren could only raise his head and ask, "What else is unknown?"

Guan Huaigong sorted out his thoughts and asked in a low voice: "Where should the scope and personnel involved in the investigation of the commercial tax accounts of the 18th Mansion of Zhili Road that have been since the 24th year of Hongwu?"

Zhu Lu raised his eyebrows, stood up, put his hands in the golden belt around his waist, and glared at Guan Huaigong.

"What's your name and what's your official position?"

Guan Huaigong immediately nodded: "The official is the one who is in charge of the Zhili Governor's Office."

"What rank is this?" Zhu Ren murmured quietly, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I have just said that you just need to check. No matter who you find, where you find, and if you need to get rid of someone, just tell me that I will kill someone for you."

Zhu Chuang's eyes were full of murderous aura.

Guan Huaigong couldn't help but shrink his head.

Zhu Ren held back his anger and walked to Guan Huaigong.

He still put his hands on his hips and glared in a deep voice: "Good to check, find out more people, I will ask you for a good official position."

Guan Huaigong immediately bent down and lowered his head.

The sleepy Zhu Ceng had already walked past him.

...

Zhili Road Suzhou Prefecture, the prefect's office.

Located on the Suzhou River, the prefect's office is surprisingly quiet today.

There was no one in the street outside the government office.

At the end of both sides of the road were the small number of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers wearing flying fish suits, and tax soldiers wearing Taotie suits.

The soldiers in front of the government office were also squeezed and hugged in the corner beside them.

No one dared to meet the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei.

It seems that everyone thinks that if you are taken by the Jinyiwei, you will be sent to the Jinyiwei Prison in the next moment.

Now, no one dares to look at the tax soldiers more, because no one knows whether they have any mistakes in taxation if they are targeted by these tax soldiers.

These tax soldiers are now even more fearful than the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei is a life-threatening guard, and the tax soldiers are both a life-threatening and a money-threatening guard.

Many families were destroyed by tax soldiers.
