The sun rises in the east, illuminating the ocean.
Yuezhou City is about to usher in a new day.
Situ Xing was so excited that he didn't sleep all night when he heard that the tax bank account was going to be inspected today. Since His Majesty entered Yuezhou City, he has been living in trepidation and has never had a peaceful day.
As long as the tax bill is checked and Your Majesty takes the money and leaves, you can relax.
Otherwise, if we stay up for a few more days, we won't be able to survive.
Qin Huaidao took Cheng Chumo and others to open the Taoist bank, constantly looking through the account books, and randomly selected different numbers from the account books for reconciliation. He did not bother to pursue some small accounts that did not match. As long as the big accounts matched, the tax
I have the silver in hand, we will talk about other things later.
You come here, but you always have to bring something back.
While walking and checking, Qin Huaidao asked questions from time to time, easily frightening Situ Xing into a cold sweat.
"You mean to say that the tax money collected in previous years was not handed over to Li Tai's court because you were worried that mountain bandits would cause trouble and rob the tax money along the way?" Qin Huaidao couldn't help but look sideways: "Then why didn't you wipe out the mountain bandits first?"
This question made Situ Xing tremble again.
Those bandits were raised by him with tax money. If they were to be wiped out, why would he bother so much?
Fortunately, Qin Huaidao saw him kowtowing repeatedly and did not ask further questions.
While he was flipping through the account books and stroking the silver in the bank, he had doubts: "Master Situ, according to your statement, these tax dollars should have been lying in the bank for several years, but why have they never fallen into dust, as if they were newly moved in?"
Same as?"
Situ Xing kowtowed again, his forehead already bleeding.
Fortunately, he could deal with this problem. After thinking quickly, he replied sternly: "Your Majesty, although these tax dollars have been put into the treasury, I always want to send them to the court at any time, so I send them to the court every once in a while.
I ordered someone to come and wipe it, so it will be as bright as new."
"Master Situ has good intentions." Qin Huaidao said nothing. How could he not see these little tricks? He just didn't want to expose him.
He is now in Yuezhou City. If he is directly challenged and punished, the government army will have to go into chaos before the processing is completed. It will be even more difficult to take away the tax money. When the government army's restructuring is completed, the tax money will be taken away.
Yin Yun left, and when the time came, he would issue an imperial edict and ask the Ministry of State to come forward and deal with him. It would be justifiable.
Situ Xing was sweating profusely while pretending that nothing was wrong: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. It's not my intention. We must not relax on important matters of the imperial court. This is the duty of every minister."
After another round of inspection, Qin Huaidao did not intend to look at it again. After closing the account book and handing it to Situ Xing, he looked at the supervisor of Jiangnan Road: "I have read it and it's not a big problem, so I will take care of the tax money."
Walk?"
Cheng Chumo and Luo Wu sandwiched Situ Xing on the left and the right. They would kill each other if they disagreed. The two founding generals personally held the battle. How could Situ Xing say no?
Furthermore, isn't the tax money he managed to squeeze from various prominent families just to successfully pay the bills and save his own life?
Without any hesitation, Situ Xing knelt down again: "I am scared. The whole world belongs to your Majesty. Where will the tax money go? If your Majesty asks me, will it cost my life? I don't dare to answer rashly."
Qin Huaidao glanced at him and said jokingly: "You old ministers from the late Sui Dynasty have always liked to be wallflowers. It's the same with Li Ershi, and it's the same with Li Taishi. When I come here, it's still the same."
"When will there be no more wallflowers in the world, will it really be stable?" After saying that, he no longer looked at Situ Xing, but ordered Luo Wu and others to take people to transport silver. With these six million taels of silver, they were transported to Chang'an.
He can do a lot more things.
When Situ Xing heard His Majesty's words, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to get up. He understood that Your Majesty actually knew everything and could do anything. The reason why he didn't do anything was because he was concerned about the people of Jiangnan Road. If there was chaos, the people would be in disaster.
.
Before leaving the bank, Qin Huaidao turned around and said the last words to Situ Xing.
"Situ Xing, you are an old minister and an old minister. You have old and stubborn ideas. You also always like to play both sides and have other little ideas. I can tolerate these things, but there is one sentence that I still can't bear after thinking about it.
I just want to say a few words to you. You just said that this world belongs to me. This is not only wrong, but also completely wrong."
"There is only one emperor in the world, but there are tens of thousands of people in the world. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. I and the officials are just agents elected by the people. As long as the emperor does not do well, the people will
He can be overthrown at any time, so what if he is as strong as the Sui Emperor? What about Li Er who ruled during Zhenguan? So this world is actually the world of the common people."
After saying that, Qin Huaidao left without looking back, leaving Situ Xing alone in the bank to meditate silently.
Is this world originally the world of the common people?
Eight days later, the day of the Jiangnan Taoist Army’s battle came. Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo and others were all present. Taoist Supervisor Situ Xing, Marching Sima Su Wuwei and others led officials on both sides to witness this event.
A historic moment.
Fang Yiai jumped onto the ring, saluted Qin Huaidao, and then saluted again to the army below.
"Everyone, I am Fang Yiai, one of the top ten generals of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Fang is not talented. I am the general manager of this military reform arena competition. As you can see, there are three arenas below. One is the sergeant arena. At the bottom,
Those who come to this stage can challenge ordinary military ranks. Those who win five games in a row are sergeants, those who win two games in a row are sergeants, and those who do not win in a row are corporals."
"The middle part of the arena is the generals arena, which is divided into two levels: lieutenants and schools. Thirty-six lieutenants and twelve school officers are restructured from the government army. They are all selected by competition in the arena. First win, first served. Anyone who wins ten games in a row or challenges
Those who are currently active generals, commanders, etc. and win will be directly promoted to lieutenant commander."
"The third level of the arena is me. Whoever defeats me can become a general and lead the three armies!"
As soon as these words came out, countless soldiers were eager to try. You only need to defeat one person. No matter what your identity is, you will be directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Is there such a good thing?
Just as the ordinary soldiers were rejoicing, a piece of news quickly spread below.
Someone whispered: "Beat him? I heard that all the generals of the government army rushed forward and couldn't win. I'd better not think about ordinary sergeants. It's enough to be a sergeant."
Some people are angry: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. I may not be able to defeat him, but wouldn't it be a pity if I don't give it a try because of this?"
No matter what choice they made, these soldiers quickly captured the key information.
I won’t talk about official positions today, I will only speak based on my strength.
If you are not as strong as others, then there is nothing to say about being inferior to others after losing.
This is a truly equal and open competition and selection in front of His Majesty and the founding generals. Whoever comes out on top will be famous all over the world!
