The first thousand one hundred and eighty-four chapters can't I have money?
Its daybreak.
Dai Zhou rubbed his eyes, raised his numb hands, stood up, and ordered: "Come here, prepare your carriage and horses, I am going to court."
The butler worriedly said: "Sir, you didn't sleep last night, so you'd better eat something."
Dai Zhou shook his head, his eyes were red, "It's too late."
"Master, I don't know if I should say something. It is said that this new tax policy was created by Prince Consort Du. Now even if there is any trouble, he should be responsible for it. Why should I worry so much?
"The housekeeper gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts.
Dai Zhou snorted coldly: "You know nothing. I promised Du He about this matter. Why not handle it well? Besides...Jin Yun is now the director of the Wannian Taxation Bureau. He really wants to take someone away."
When he vents his anger, Du He will have a hard time, and Jin Yun is afraid that he will never recover."
The butler opened his mouth in astonishment and finally nodded: "Master, I'll go get ready right now."
Not long after, a sedan set off from Dai Mansion.
Dai Zhou came to the entrance of the palace.
I saw that many ministers had already arrived.
When these ministers met him in the past, they would tease him about the fact that he spent 120,000 yuan to build a house in a deserted place in Hu County. Today, no one joked with Dai Zhou. Everyone was worried.
The appearance of the ground.
Dai Zhou got clean and thought to himself: They are a bunch of snobs, and now they are anxious. I finally understand why Du He promulgated the new tax policy in the first place, which seems to be a stupid move. If the new tax policy is not a stupid move,
How could the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty unanimously agree, and how could the imperial court issue an edict and acquiesce... It turns out that Du He's last move was behind him.
This kid is truly outrageous, and his calculations on people's hearts are beyond measure.
Boom, boom, boom.
The drums sounded.
The palace door opens.
Everyone filed in, each one walking briskly, and hurried to the Tai Chi Hall.
However, when people came to Tai Chi Hall, they found that someone had already arrived in the hall.
This person is none other than Du He.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Wang Gui couldn't help but asked: "Du He, why is it you?"
Du He smiled and said, "Master Wang, why can't it be me? You are all late."
Wang Gui argued: "Nonsense, we came just in time, how can we be considered late? You are just a small eighth-rank official. What qualifications do you have to go to court? Why don't you get out quickly?"
"Yes, Prince Consort Du, you are just the magistrate of Wannian County. Without His Majesty's will, you are not allowed to go to court. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Go quickly!"
Many people said this one after another.
…
Dai Zhou stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Boy, why are you here? Didn't you say that you want to hand over the court to me?"
Du He said: "That's what I originally planned, but I won't elaborate on your strength. If you can't defeat these guys and make my father change his mind and cancel the new tax policy, then what I did before
All your efforts will be in vain."
"You can't trust me?"
"yes!"
Dai Zhou: "..."
He wanted to hit someone.
Wang Gui and other ministers were unwilling to give up and insisted on driving Du He away.
Dai Zhou wanted to say a few words for Du He, but he didn't know how to speak.
Du He was a small eighth-rank official and a county magistrate. According to the rules, he could not go to court at will.
Just when everyone was getting excited with scolding, Du He suddenly slowly took out a gold medal.
This gold medal is unique. It is about the size of a hug. Du He has been carrying it in a bag in his hand. It weighs almost twenty kilograms. It is pure gold without any impurities. As soon as it is taken out, it shines brightly.
Blinded everyone's eyes.
Du He held up the gold medal with both hands and asked: "My lords, am I qualified to go to court now?"
Wang Gui asked in surprise: "What is this?"
Du He said: "This gold medal was awarded to me by the late emperor. With this gold medal, I can enter the palace at will and go to court to perform affairs at will."
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Gui shouted: "You are talking nonsense. We have all seen the gold medal given to you by the late emperor. When did it become so big and ostentatious?"
Du He pointed to the center of the huge gold medal and said, "Mr. Wang, open your eyes wide and take a good look."
Wang Gui stepped forward to take a closer look.
Sure enough, there was a small gold medal inlaid in the center of the huge gold medal, which was a gift from Gong Yu.
Wang Gui couldn't help but ask: "Du He, are you crazy? Why do you want to create such a huge gold medal that is so ostentatious on the market?"
Du He was tired and said, "Can't I do it if I have money?"
Everyone: "..."
Once the gold medal given by the late emperor came out, no one dared to drive away Du He.
…
"Your Majesty is here!"
Chamberlain Zhao Yang's voice sounded, and the morning court officially began.
Li Er asked in a deep voice: "Dear dear friends, if you have something to do, you will come to court, but if there is nothing, you will withdraw from the court."
Swish swish swish.
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen ministers jumped out one after another.
Li Er was shocked.
Such a grand scene will only occur when a huge change occurs in the country.
A minister said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Du He, the magistrate of Wannian County. As the magistrate of Wannian County, Du He does not want to educate the people, but encourages them to inform. Such behavior is simply educating the people."
Li Er frowned: "What's going on?"
The minister said: "Your Majesty does not know something. Yesterday, notices were posted throughout Wannian County, allowing people to voluntarily report merchants who evade taxes. The minimum reward is 10,000 yuan, with no upper limit. Once merchants are found to have evaded taxes, they will be punished with a minimum penalty of 10 yuan.
Wan Guan, there is no limit to the limit... The city of Chang'an has been in an uproar. Overnight, many merchants closed their doors and ran away. In Guangdong City, dozens of merchants fled overnight. I ask your Majesty to issue an order immediately to stop Du He's nonsense.
, and bring peace to Chang'an City."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
More than a dozen ministers agreed.
Li Er frowned after hearing this.
He glanced around, and finally turned his attention to the important ministers at the front, and asked: "My dear friends, what do you think?"
Wang Gui was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to stop this matter. As the magistrate of Wannian County, Du He is a parent official. He should educate the people to be virtuous and good, but he encourages informants.
, If things go on like this, the people of Chang'an do not want to work or live in harmony. Instead, they start a trend of reporting and making everyone hateful. This trend cannot last forever. Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
Dai Zhou knew that he had to stand up, so he said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. What the king and other lords said is not unreasonable. However, I think that Du He's move is also to implement the new commercial tax policy. The ancients
It is said that in extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. Now that the new tax policy has just been implemented, it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. Du He can think of giving heavy rewards to curb tax evasion by merchants. Although he is wrong, he will not be stopped, let alone
