Because of Zhu Yunxi's various calculations, what does Zhu Gaochi look like after passively losing weight?
King Zhu Di of Yan was not very tall, or in other words, he was not conspicuous in the crowd.
But Zhu Gaochi's figure is obviously much taller than his father's.
But he was originally so fat that his toes were not visible when he lowered his head, but now his hands were pressing on his belt, and his belly was almost hidden from view.
Due to the loss of fat on the square face, the facial features seem to be enlarged and become clearer.
Zhu Gaochi stood in front of Fengtian Gate, shouted loudly, and asked someone to bring the things over.
He held his head high, his chest high, his back strong, his voice like a bell, and while he was scolding, he looked like a fierce general standing in front of the battle.
Zhu Gaochi can also be regarded as a noble person in the palace. As a clan member, he said, the servants at the court meeting immediately went to the south of Wulong Bridge.
The footsteps became increasingly dense as they headed out.
Under the Fengtian Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked sideways at the prince beside him.
"The fourth family no longer hides their clumsiness today."
Zhu Biao nodded, glanced at the nephew in front of him lightly, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Brothers are brothers, brothers are in harmony. Brother Xi is currently on a tour in the north, and Brother Chi has a deep friendship with him. This
At this time, we must not allow people in the DPRK and China to use the river accident to criticize the New Deal."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently and looked at Ji Kai, the first person from the Ministry of Works who used the river accident to provoke conflicts in the New Deal in public today.
He knew very well that even as the emperor of the empire, he could not make everyone agree with his will. The implementation of the New Deal would naturally have its followers and opponents.
The emperor is fair.
Be fair enough that you must tolerate the existence of opponents.
In front of the Fengtian Gate, everyone was waiting for the young Prince Yan, who was in charge of the tax office that collected taxes from all over the world, and for the evidence that was about to be brought to him.
Tang Li looked at the Ministry of Works, whose face had turned ugly, and was stunned, but he smiled silently and looked sideways at Chang Sen: "This person's method is somewhat similar to His Highness's."
Chang Sen turned around with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Tang Li was stunned for a while.
Chang Sen said quietly at this time: "How do you know that His Highness did not explain this in advance?"
Tang Li blinked. Strictly speaking, the emperor's grandson was still his niece-in-law.
Chang Sen shrugged: "Our great grandson, he can personally lead the troops into battle. Anticipating the enemy is just the instinct of a commander."
Tang Li narrowed his eyes slightly and thought carefully for a while, then whispered: "I think the matter is probably more than that simple."
"oh?"
Chang Sen glanced at Tang Li, then turned to look at Zhu Gaochi, who was standing under everyone's gaze but calmly.
After a period of silence, heavy footsteps came again from the south of Wulong Bridge.
In an instant, people from the tax office were already in front of us, carrying boxes one after another.
Bang bang bang.
The boxes were placed on the ground, making a muffled sound and seemed quite heavy.
The stuff finally arrived.
Zhu Gaochi walked to a box, but did not open it. Instead, he patted the box and looked at the courtiers around him.
There was a smile on his face, very innocent.
"I think you all have a lot of understanding and image of the tax bureau."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of low laughter in front of Fengtian Gate.
Nowadays, the topic of the Customs and Excise Department has been high.
There is never a shortage of rumors about the tax bureau.
"Tax Office, open the door!"
Just this sentence made countless people in the area feel scared when they heard it.
It even got to the point where it could make the Jin gentry wail.
No matter how innocent and clean a person is, whenever he sees tax soldiers from the tax office coming to his door and shouts these words, he has to think about whether he has defaulted on taxes to the court.
Furthermore, you also have to think about whether you have ever done anything criminal in your life.
In the minds of some people, the tax office is no different from the imperial hawks like the Imperial Guards.
Zhu Gaochi didn't explain, he just smiled to himself and continued: "It's just that you may not know that besides having so many rumors about the tax office, it also knows what's going on in the local area better than you do."
Speaking of which.
Zhu Gaochi turned around and looked at Ji Kai, whose face was gloomy and uncertain.
He put away the joke on his face and said in a deep voice: "The impeachment of Hedao officials and the officials of the Third Department of Henan Province in the matter is for the public, and everything is subject to discussion. However, the fields on both sides of the river are mentioned in the matter.
It has been embezzled and embezzled by river officials and local officials involved in river affairs, but I want to give them justice."
Ji Kai did not expect that Zhu Gaochi, instead of pioneering for people like Pan Deshan and Pei Benzhi, would seize on the last few impeachment points he said to make matters worse.
He immediately said: "I...I am just...I am inferring based on the facts. According to the memorial received by the Ministry of Industry, the river does occupy a lot of fields on both sides of the bank."
Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly and looked at Ji Kai sharply.
"Do you know what the occupied fields are used for?"
He didn't give Ji Kai a chance to speak and already opened the box with his backhand.
Zhu Gaochi took out a thick account book from the box, held it up and waved it and said to Ji Kai: "The Taxation Department is responsible for the collection of taxes all over the world, and also assists in the inventory of fields. In the process, the Taxation Department discovered many interesting things.
.I wonder if you are interested in giving me a listen?"
The tax office’s account books!
Ji Kai's eyes flashed with panic, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Except for the tax office, no one knows exactly what is recorded in those account books.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, a disciple of Fengtian Sect, was a little curious.
The old man tilted his head and looked at the prince: "Brother Chi, what did the tax office find?"
Zhu Biao sat upright on the chair, his eyes calm.
Looking at the nephew of the fourth family, who was holding the tax office's account books, he slowly approached Ji Kai, who was in charge of the Ministry of Works step by step.
Zhu Biao said in a low voice: "The tax bureau is in charge of determining the amount of taxes all over the world and calling for delayed tax arrears. At the local level...in the Zhili area, every prefecture and county now has a tax bureau division. There are also tax offices in the villages.
They are replacing the original position of Grain Chief. They probably know a lot of things that we didn't know before."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lowly and looked at Fat Sun, who was already in front of Ji Kai, with a faint look in his eyes.
Bang.
Ji Kai took a step back.
He always had the feeling that this seemingly honest and kind-hearted clan relative in front of him was afraid that he would make a fool of himself in the court meeting today.
Zhu Gaochi glanced across Ji Kai's face indifferently and patted the account book he held in his hand.
"The Taxation Office was ordered by the emperor to determine the amount of taxes in the country. In the 28th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Taxation Office established the Henan Province Tax Division. In the year of the great disaster, when the court was providing relief, it also clarified the amount of taxes in Henan Province.
Verification of the amount of acres.”
"There are a total of 87,324 acres of irrigated land in the six prefectures along both sides of the river in Henan Province. Since it falls within the scope of river management designated by the River Governor's Office, the people thereon are temporarily relocated by the River Governor's Office.
Except for the land that cannot be farmed due to piles of materials, building embankments, etc., the remaining areas are cultivated by the people recruited by the river governor's office, and the harvest is used as money for river management by the river governor's office. More than 80,000 acres of land are temporarily managed, and the land is converted into silver and paid to the people.
"
Pan Deshan wanted to control the river by building layers of dams. Naturally, some fields along the Yellow River were included in the construction scope.
Some of these places need to be rectified, and some need to be built with embankments.
In order to facilitate unified management, the River Governor's Yamen temporarily assigned all these fields to the Yamen's name.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Ji Kai indifferently and said with a smile: "In this matter, we need to check again whether there is any embezzlement of the silver that the governor's office of the river should pay to the people? Although the tax bureau has no right to comment on the river, it is because of the verification
There is also an accounting record for the amount of tax clearance."
Ji Kai was speechless.
Since the tax bureau has records of the more than 80,000 acres of farmland temporarily under unified management by the Hedao Governor's Yamen, it naturally also has records of the payment of these field taxes.
He said in a low voice: "There are no mistakes in the tax office. It's just that I am an engineering major. These more than 80,000 acres of farmland must have been verified by the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Ji Kai was trying to explain that he did not know the reason why the governor's office of the river occupied the fields on both sides of the river.
Zhu Gaochi nodded.
He didn't speak, but there was already a strange voice in the civil service class.
"My lord, I have a report that I want to report."
Those who could attend the court meeting in front of Fengtian Gate were all old faces from the court, but this voice made people feel strange.
Even Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look over.
When he saw the person who spoke, he had a slight smile on his face.
In a place no one expected.
Zhang Ergong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, walked out of the train with a nervous look on his face, holding the wat board tightly with both hands.
Zhang Ergong frowned and glanced at Ji Kai from the Ministry of Works, and then bowed to the emperor of Fengtian Sect.
"Your Majesty, I have my own report."
Zhang Ergong can be said to be an anomaly in the imperial court.
Along with him were those craftsmen who had been promoted to official positions.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised when he saw that the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who only knew how to do things in the past but never spoke, stood up today.
He asked with a smile: "Our Zhang Gongbu actually also participated in the concert, tell me."
Zhang Ergong lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the river governor's office demarcated more than 80,000 acres of farmland on both sides of the river. At the beginning, a report was sent to the Ministry of Works along with the river management report."
He opened his mouth to explain.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ergong added: "I've finished speaking..."
Snapped.
A silent slap resounded in front of Fengtian Gate and penetrated into everyone's ears.
The slap in the face came too quickly.
Ji Kai only felt that his face was burning and his ears were as hot as fire.
After Zhang Ergong finished speaking, he turned back and glanced at Ji Kai silently.
He frowned and shook his head.
Obviously, the Ministry of Works had received the memorial from the governor's office across the river, but Ji Kai, as the Ministry of Works, was in trouble. He had the authority and responsibility to check the archives of the Ministry of Works, but he still made false claims.
As a technician, Zhang Ergong disliked this person very much.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Ergong, who was nervous about facing him and showed dissatisfaction with Ji Kai, and the flesh on his face couldn't help but move.
The emperor glanced at Zhang Ergong, who had nothing to say, and had to hold back his laughter and waved his hand.
Zhang Ergong bowed straightly and returned to the train.
Bang.
When the emperor's eyes returned to the field, Ji Kai, the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, was already kneeling on the ground.
idiot!
Yu Xin and Wang Jun, who had previously voiced their support for impeachment, could not help but curse inwardly.
As Ji Kai knelt down, the officials who supported the proposal also froze on the spot as if they were sitting on wax.
Jiang Yi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, looked at the current situation with a heavy heart. After thinking for a while, he had to step out: "Your Majesty, there are countless documents in the various ministries of the imperial court, and the affairs of the ministries are as complicated as a cow's hair. There are no fields on both sides of the river.
The illegal occupation is a blessing to the court and the people. However, now the court has spent countless money and food, appointed important ministers, and given great power, but there has been no progress. The court should investigate and investigate."
At this time.
Qi Zhu, the Minister of Punishment in the banlie, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, the laws of the Ming Dynasty clearly define rewards and punishments, and clearly define punishments. Regulating the river is a national policy. If there is an accident on the river, if the court does not deal with it fairly, it will be difficult to calm the people of the world and heal the people on both sides of the river."
Talking about occupying fields and wasting money and food is secondary. The real problem is that there are real accidents on the river.
Jiang Yi and Qi stood in front of everyone and spoke directly to the core.
Zhu Gaochi frowned: "Your Majesty, the tax office still has some account books that have not been made public to the court."
Jiang Yi and Qi immediately turned back and frowned at Zhu Gaochi who spoke again.
Is this going to be endless?
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Zhu Gaochi received permission and said: "Since the establishment of the tax bureau, Yingtian Prefecture has been restructured and the local grain chiefs have been abolished. Tax offices have been set up under the local tax divisions of the tax bureau to determine the amount of taxes in a place.
To this day, after repeated cross-checking by the tax bureau, we now know that our Ming Dynasty still has a huge tax deficit of millions hidden in secrets!"
Jiang Yi frowned and immediately said: "I'm afraid what the director is saying at this moment has nothing to do with the river."
Another person walked out of the train.
Xia Yuanji smiled and said loudly: "Xia Yuanji, Minister of Household Affairs, may I ask the director, where is this huge tax deficit worth millions hidden?"
Jiang Yi, the censor of Zuodu, couldn't help but turn around and glanced at Xia Yuanji in confusion.
Zhu Gaochi took the words with a smile: "Shilang Xia, please come and take a look."
As he spoke, he picked up another account book from the box next to him.
Xia Yuanji did not hesitate and stepped forward immediately.
The civil and military officials on both sides couldn't help but tiptoe.
Xia Yuanji took the account book given by Zhu Gaochi and started to read it.
Zhu Gaochi continued to speak: "I and my colleagues from the tax bureau are verifying the amount of taxes in various places. I am exchanging accounts with His Highness the King of Qin who is supervising the transfer of tenants to the land. It is now discovered that the local officials are colluding with the local gentry clan. On the occasion of His Highness the King of Qin's purification of the father-in-law."
, and used the wealth and silk to bewitch the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
For ordinary people, they measure with real numbers. For large families, they measure with scales.
For a large household, one acre of land is worth eight points.
There are so many of them that it is difficult to write them down.
The tax office has just recently clarified the situation at the place where the tax department has been established. Today, I will meet with you at the court meeting. I will receive the tax office and report to your majesty."
