"In the past two years, many cities and counties have needed to move out of the ruins. Finances are very tight, so special tasks have to be done."
Your Majesty's reply was very quick. It seems that he has been paying attention to the affairs in northern Hunan and was waiting for Xu Zhi to solve it properly.
The old man mentioned something very vaguely.
Xu Zhi understood very well that this was not to ask him to seize the wealth of the Gongsun Kang family.
This is also some of the major policies in recent years, restricting wealthy families, but not killing wealthy families with one stick and triggering a backlash.
It must be done from a righteous and correct perspective, leaving people speechless.
No matter how much is seized by the Inspection Department, the bulk of the money that will ultimately flow in will replenish local finances and the national treasury.
Gongsun Kang's imprisonment will not be of much use, but his wealth can be used to do some practical things.
This is asking him to go on the fine line.
Xu Zhi will inevitably attract some honest admonishers to give him advice.
"I already have a headache. Why did you find a bunch of bad things again? Isn't it because Xiangbei Province is so peaceful that no one commits any crime?"
Zhao Mu looked at Gongsun Kang's thick video of one hundred and twenty years of confessions, and he began to get anxious.
The review of Kujiao has entered an extremely troublesome stage, and many important matters are more troublesome than Gongsun Kang's thick confession.
When his investigation deductions conflicted with Zang Suxin's confession, he became even more upset.
"There are even driving violations. Is Gongsun Kang's brain rusty? All these old sesame seeds and rotten millet things have been found out. How can our inspection department have so many black history records?"
"They all should be fined. It will make Gongsun Kang feel distressed and the public will be happy with the fine."
"The public doesn't care too much about how long Gongsun Kang needs to be under house arrest. They even think that the big man's house arrest is just a vacation. In comparison, they will pay more attention to how much fine Gongsun Kang will have to pay."
"But wealthy families care more about their freedom than money."
"You should know the scale."
Zhao Mu finally gave some general guidance, which was quite similar to what His Majesty said.
"This old kid is quite good at getting into trouble. I don't see that he has a lot of life experience."
Yan Xingxia sighed and happily read Gongsun Kang's Confessions, but he didn't give any comments.
"It involves a wide range of things. Fortunately, you are not in Ganzi Province. Otherwise, if you did it for a while, your own home would not be investigated in the end."
Yan Xuankong muttered, probably remembering something, and called Yan Jinbai to discuss it again, and ignored Xu Zhi again.
"The scale must be acceptable to the aristocratic families and convincing to the public. You can give two criminal standards and see what kind of punishment Gongsun Kang is willing to accept. His attitude represents the choice of most aristocratic families."
Situ Xuankong's opinion was quite pertinent and gave him a choice.
This might be a good way to implement it.
"Thirty-five years and nine months' imprisonment, a fine of 126.53 million, and seven years and six months' hard labor."
"Five years' imprisonment, a fine of 646.53 million, and six months' hard labor."
After the case was settled piece by piece, Gongsun Kang could see his fingers trembling.
There were too many things accumulated in one hundred and twenty years, and there were also cases piled up in the Inspection Department. He had to recognize some things.
But he didn't have a show-off mind. The confession he transcribed must satisfy Xu Zhi and the people who looked at them.
Otherwise, Xu Zhi would bite him and not let go, and the stolen money that had been planted on his head would be poured over again.
Whether it's assassination, resisting arrest, flouting the law, etc., as the two people fight more, these frame-ups will slowly become reality. Picking out any one crime can be as powerful as half of them, and he will take the blame.
I can't stand it either.
As time goes by, the things he did have passed the period of accountability, and no one can even be found to hold him accountable. In the end, punishment is the main thing.
Most of the confessions contain these old events, and only some of them are events in recent years.
It's not surprising that he was scolded by Zhao Mu.
As a large pharmaceutical family, the Gongsun family is not short of money.
If the Dragon and Tiger Return Pill is sold to Nan'ao, the fine of 120 million is just a matter of four or five pills, and it is just the loss of fighting Xu Zhi four or five times.
Of course, the latter's fine was a bit high, and he didn't know how Xu Zhi calculated it.
Is it based on his personal annual income, or does it feel like his one year's freedom is worth more than 10 million.
Seeing the huge amount of money made Gongsun Kang feel cold in his heart.
The other party was digging into their family's bottom line, forcing them to sell some items to supplement their working capital.
But Gongsun Kang would never choose the first punishment.
The time is too long and he will die of old age in prison.
As one of the few wealthy families in Xiangbei Province, he could vaguely feel something.
Over the past few years, Dongyue has changed.
Not only is the economy changing, but since the Northwest Military Region and Northern Xinjiang are no longer in conflict, there are suddenly more manpower available.
In the past year, the country of Ying, which is close to Dongyue, has also been in civil strife and reform, giving the Fourth Military Region a rest.
By fighting against the outside world and at home, the major dangers at the two borders have been eliminated. Attention to the country has suddenly increased, and control has become more powerful.
From Hua'an City to Xiangbei Province, Lu Sheng'an has been involved in many reform experiments and is constantly trying to change the situation in northern Hunan.
Everything is slowly and continuously changing, breaking the original situation and giving more people opportunities.
Living in Xiangbei Province, Gongsun Kang's perception was extremely sensitive.
Even the stubborn Jin Zhongze decided to start shrinking.
It is rare to have a thousand-year-old family, but Gongsun Kang also wanted his family to be inherited for a longer period of time, so that all future generations would be successful.
It is inevitable to follow the direction of the wind and the general trend.
Reverse operators never end well, just like those who secretly attacked Lu Sheng'an.
The current trend?
Gongsun Kang thought for a while and decided not to think about it anymore. There would be enough jail time for him to consider it in the future, so he paid the money now to keep him safe.
"I am willing to accept this punishment."
Gongsun Kang pointed to the second item. This is the choice of the rich, and it is also the choice that Your Majesty and Zhao Mu are happy to see.
Xu Zhi was very satisfied with Gongsun Kang's attitude.
"Within three days, the sum of 646.53 million will be collected and paid to the inspection company's account..."
"We are in a hurry, Mr. Xu. Our Gongsun family doesn't have that much money, so you won't let us..."
"The place of imprisonment can be Gongsun's residence. The scope of activities is within a radius of fifty miles. The location must be reported to the inspection department every day. The income from labor must reach the standard of 3,000 yuan per month. What did you just want to express?"
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Kang.
"I mean, our Gongsun family will definitely get the money together within three days."
It was obvious that a quick sale would not fetch a good price, and a knife was killed during the sentencing. Gongsun Kang just wanted to express his opinion, but then he nodded in agreement when he heard where he was imprisoned.
This is a big stick and a carrot, and he has Xu Zhi to thank.
You can choose Gongsun's mansion, but you can also choose other places.
For example, a small room of ten or eight square meters in a prison somewhere.
Sitting alone in the room, with only people coming to visit him from time to time, he would have a very uncomfortable life in the past five years, let alone guiding Gongsun Du, his successor.
As for the labor service, according to Xu Zhi, it would be enough to pay about 3,000 yuan a month.
He has sealed his sword and seldom goes out. He has been cultivating his moral character in the mansion.
Except for being beaten more than a dozen times and spending a large amount of money, nothing in his life seemed to have changed.
"Send the file to the Inspection Department and let some interested people take a look. No matter what the standards are in other provinces, our Xiangbei Province pickets will use this example as the standard for interrogation."
"There are many people involved with Gongsun Kang. They have all been called over to drink tea together. You need to check carefully and keep records."
After Gongsun Kang walked out of the inspection department with a serious look on his face and a hint of relaxed ambivalence at the same time, Xu Zhi began to order many inspections.
"The Gongsun family may sell a batch of large medicines in the next three days. If you are interested, you can pool your money to buy one or two. If you can't buy it, don't worry. There will be many more like this in the future."
Xu Zhi's words sent chills into the hearts of many patrol inspectors. This man really didn't cause trouble, and he would take a long time to cause trouble.
Touching the black card in his pocket, Xu Zhi started to wait with interest.
The shorter the time, the smaller the space for the Gongsun family to operate, and they will have to sell part of the hidden medicine, and the price will be cheaper.
It just so happens that he is relatively rich recently.
Freedom to buy and sell, this is the benefit that can fall into your own pocket.
Gongsunjia's sales are aimed at social groups, and he is not the only customer.
One is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy.
Even the admonishers couldn't find fault with him.
As for Li Duohuang's 74 million, he will first use the Kamakura sword to pay off the debt. If the woman is not satisfied, then we can discuss it again. Anyway, he will have no money after buying the big medicine.
