Damn! You really deserve to be a fool. I, Li Qi, am also a third-grade official. What’s the point of asking me to sweep the streets? But---but I didn’t say anything about it. Why am I complaining like this?
Li Qi thought about it all the way to the outside of the palace, and suddenly saw Qin Hui standing under a tree. He exhaled heavily and walked over quickly.
When Qin Hui saw Li Qi coming, he quickly saluted and said, "Thank you very much for your help today."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "Stop saying such things. We are standing on the same boat now. Can I not help?"
Qin Hui nodded and said, "Then what should we do in the future?"
Li Qi sneered: "Just do what you did before. They can't defeat you today, and they won't be able to defeat you in the future. Do you remember the person who impeached you today?"
"I remember everything." Qin Hui's eyes flashed with a ruthless look.
Li Qi snorted: "Keep an eye on these people, take them to their yamen every day, and stick the list on their faces for me. I want everyone to know that our Bureau of Commerce
We are definitely not someone to be trifled with.md. If we keep putting up with this, they will have to sit on our heads and shit on us."
"Yes." Qin Hui clasped his fists, his eyes flashed sharply, and said: "But sir, the land increase tax proposed by Prime Minister Wang this time is obviously aimed at us. If this tax system is implemented, then our previous efforts will be in vain.
It's all in vain, those princes and nobles will definitely not give up, and will definitely try their best to prevent your Excellency's reform."
Li Qi sighed and said: "I know this too, but the emperor has already decided. I have no choice but to take one step at a time. By the way, what do you think about this agricultural tax?"
Qin Hui said: "Actually, what Wang Xiang said is right. Since the last time Wang An and Shi Xian implemented the square field tax, and then it was abandoned, this time and again, the agricultural tax has caused greater disadvantages. It has also fueled the arrogance of the big landowners.
, they went even further, hiding their land and not reporting it. This was not only a loss to the court, but also a loss to the people, because the court could only count the money to the people. But then again, people who can hide their land.
All of them are rich or noble, and no one is easy to mess with."
"This is really a headache!" Li Qi squinted his eyes and said: "If you want to implement this system, you must first dig out these unnamed lands. In that case, these people will definitely be offended."
Qin Hui frowned and said: "Sir, otherwise, we can selectively investigate, so that we can avoid missing some people."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This is not possible. Have you forgotten who proposed the land tax? Prime Minister Wang will definitely keep an eye on us. Once he knows that we have sheltered some people, he will definitely impeach us. When the time comes,
If the emperor pursues the investigation, those people under investigation will definitely be unconvinced and unite to attack us, and then it will be even more difficult for us."
Qin Hui said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Wang Xiang's move is really too cruel."
"I didn't expect that he would actually use the reform to speed up the demise of the reform. It was really cruel. Although it was him who raised the issue, the most he could get was a few complaints. It was us who really harmed the interests of those people.
We are the ones being criticized." Li Qi rubbed his face and said depressedly.
Qin Hui said: "Sir, now we are in the light and he is in the dark. Even if he escapes this time, he can come up with other tricks to deal with us, so we should also find a way to fight back."
Li Qidao: "Then what can you do?"
Qin Hui pondered for a moment and then said: "It is not easy to defeat Wang Xiang. But I think we should take action to make his life difficult. And what Wang Xiang values most is Ying Fengju.
I think we can start from this aspect."
Li Qi hummed and said, "Keep talking."
Qin Hui said: "The Yingfeng Bureau is specially used to collect rare treasures and other properties from various places, and then contribute them to the emperor. It is equivalent to a small three divisions. However, I heard that the prime minister often enriched his own pockets. In fact, it was actually in the hands of the emperor.
There is only about 10% of it.”
It doesn’t matter what you say, I already know that if there is no money to be made, would he be able to get into this situation? Li Qi said calmly: "Then do you have evidence?"
"No." Qin Hui shook his head and said, "But we don't need evidence."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Qin Hui's mouth showed a ruthless look and said: "In the second half of every year, almost every few days, a lot of goods will be delivered to Yingfeng Bureau from various places. Since they are goods, they are related to our Commerce Bureau. We can make them
Under the guise of regulating prices and facilitating statistics, we conduct strict inquiries on goods entering and leaving the capital. Even if they are tributes, we will not let them go. We only do inspections and registrations and nothing else. I believe the emperor will understand us."
Li Qi's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "What a good idea. As long as we record every piece of goods, the king will not dare to do anything again. If the emperor knows that the goods are not counted, it will be enough for him to drink a pot. Haha, little one.
Qin, you are really ruthless, you have cut off the wealth of this prince and prime minister. Well, if he is in charge of our commerce bureau, we will get him in the Yingfeng bureau."
Qin Hui smiled gloomily and said: "This does not belong to him at all. I am just loyal to the emperor."
He is by no means a good person. Wang Fu is obviously going to dismiss him from office today. How can he let it go without punishing Wang Fu to death? It’s a good thing that his official position is not high now. Otherwise, Wang Fu would not be him at all.
His opponent, the most treacherous minister of the Song Dynasty, did not deserve his reputation for nothing.
"That's right, we are just being loyal to the emperor." Li Qi narrowed his eyes and said: "So, you must also remember our duty and never seek personal gain through this, otherwise, once someone finds out,
, not only can I not protect you, but I may also get involved, so you must be careful and careful about this matter."
Qin Hui sang: "I understand." After a pause, he asked again: "How should we deal with the increase in land tax?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "If you investigate, you will die. If you don't investigate, you will die. It is better to investigate to the end. When you go back later, you will immediately gather people to survey and register all the land near the capital. We will not target people, only the land."
Go, all land that no one has come to register will be treated as wasteland and wait for redistribution. I don’t believe those people can bear it. No, no, no, at the beginning, we have to keep a low profile and be selective.
Investigate. Since Wang Xiangling is the leader of this matter, we will start the investigation from him, and none of his accomplices will be spared. I will use his intimidating power to intimidate the rest."
Qin Huike liked to do this the most, and said: "I will accept the order."
After separating from Qin Hui, Li Qi and Ma Qiao rushed to the manor in the western suburbs. After all, Feng Yinu didn't know what the situation was. He must be worried.
After arriving at the manor, Li Qi went straight to the backyard and suddenly saw Yelu Guyu standing alone under the tree in a daze.
Li Qi gestured towards Ma Qiao, walked over secretly, stretched out his hand to cover Yelu's lustful eyes, and said with a sinister smile: "Little girl---."
He hadn't finished speaking yet. Hearing a bang, the frightened Yelv Gu tried to give Li Qi a back elbow, then suddenly grabbed one of Li Qi's hands and threw him over his shoulder. The whole set of movements was smooth and neat, and he watched from a distance.
Ma Qiao could not help but applaud. He is so handsome.
Bang.
Li Qi screamed and fell heavily to the ground, causing dust to fly. "Oh**!"
In fact, when the man was still in the air, Yelu Guyu had already reacted, but by then it was already too late. He exclaimed, hurriedly knelt down and asked with concern: "Guanren, Guanren. How are you? I'm sorry.
I didn’t know it was you, I thought---."
Although she has been in Beijing for a while, everything she experienced in Yanjing is still vivid in her mind. It has become her inner demon and she is very sensitive to these sudden and frivolous actions.
I almost forgot that she had sudden male phobia. She was really asking for trouble. Li Qi squeezed out a smile on his twisted face and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine, this--this little injury
It’s nothing to me, but you need to help me up first.”
Yelu Gu was about to help Li Qi up.
I received such a heavy blow for no reason. If I don't get some benefits, am I still a businessman? Li Qi leaned on Yelu Guxu's delicate body, rubbing and rubbing, and laughed lustfully in her ear: "
Hitting is intimacy, scolding is love, I deeply understand, but one time is enough to express one’s feelings so boldly, and my husband won’t be able to bear it if you do it too many times.”
Yelu Gu's face turned red as blood as he listened, and his plump breasts rose and fell, and he said: "Sir, let me help you go to the room to rest."
Yelv Gu was about to help Li Qi just come to the back hall, when he suddenly heard a cry, and saw Feng Yinu walking over quickly, saying with red eyes: "Li Qi, what are you doing? Did the emperor punish you?
?I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who has caused trouble for you. I will go to Uncle Cai to explain it clearly and ask him not to embarrass you."
You silly girl, I didn’t say anything! Li Qiden felt dumbfounded.
Yelv Gu wanted to see that Feng Yinu had misunderstood, and when he was about to explain, Li Qi suddenly said "ouch" and raised his left hand.
When Feng Yinu heard him shouting like this, his nervous heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly came over to support him and said, "What's wrong with you?"
This is a tacit understanding. Li Qi's left hand hugged Feng Yinu's plump and delicate body, and there were two first-class handsome men on the left and right. Master Li really enjoyed the blessings of everyone, so unhappy.
Although Yelu Guyu knew the reason, she had no choice but to let him go. After all, she was the one who knocked Li Qi half to death.
"I'll help you sit down first." Feng Yinu said eagerly.
Sit down? With the two of you here, I can stand like this for three days and three nights without getting tired. Li Qi hurriedly said: "You can't sit down, you can't sit down, wuwu, you don't know, the emperor just called for someone ---
If you ask someone to spank me, then if I sit down, I'll have to kill myself. It's really cruel and inhumane."
"What!" Feng Yinu exclaimed, tears falling from his eyes, and said, "Is it serious? Let me see your injury quickly?"
"Ah? This---this is not good. How about the three of us go back to the room and study it slowly." Li Qi said shyly.
Yelu Guyu couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Ms. Feng, the officer is lying to you. In fact, I just accidentally threw him."
Li Qi looked startled and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He screamed secretly and glanced at Feng Yinu, only to see Feng Yinu's electric eyes widening and glaring at him angrily.
He chuckled and said, "Are you kidding?"
"You are a bad guy, you know how to bully me, I will fight with you." Feng Yinu suddenly burst out, raised his hands and swung at Li Qi.
Damn it! Li Qi immediately ran away, jumping and dodging while saying: "Ouch, ouch, don't hit me, don't slap me in the face. Although my ass didn't suffer, I really fought for my life to get away from Cai You."
I have taken you back with my hands, but you cannot repay kindness with kindness."
Feng Yinu suddenly stopped, looked at Li Qi blankly, and murmured: "Is everything you said true?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "It's all true, it's all true. I swear to God, I was even punished to sweep the streets for this. The emperor said you can follow whoever you want. Now you are satisfied.
You can finally have me."
Feng Yinu immediately turned from anger to joy, spat, and said with a blushing face: "Who wants to get you? How shameless."
Li Qi gave an exaggerated cry and said, "You are not very kind. You can't just throw it away after you've used it."
Feng Yinu's ears turned red after hearing this, and he suddenly stretched out his foot and stepped on Li Qi's instep.
"Ouch!" Li Qi took a sharp breath. Before he could recover, Feng Yinu suddenly kissed him quickly on the face and said coyly: "I just punished you for bullying me. This is to thank you."
After saying that, she lowered her head and walked quickly towards the door with a blush on her face. This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss someone, and her neck was completely red.
Li Qi was startled for a moment, touched his face, and couldn't help but get angry. This reward and punishment is unfair, isn't it? I, Li Qi, am such an easy person to get rid of. He said hurriedly: "Hey! Where are you going?"
"Get the broom ready for you."
"Fuck!" (To be continued.)
