Ezhou has really not been peaceful these days. After several senior officials in Ezhou, some wealthy businessmen in Ezhou have also encountered trouble.
Over the years, they have opened up and down channels to buy officials and put the goods used to register and pay taxes in the official warehouse. They can only pay at least half of the total amount or less, and they can pay at least half of the commercial tax.
This time, the high-ranking officials from the capital found the problem on the spot. After counting the goods in the official warehouse, their tricks were nowhere to be hidden.
It doesn't matter if you are found to have evaded taxes. The officials from Beijing will not treat them like the governor of Ezhou and others, and will be locked in a prison car and escorted to the capital for guilt.
As long as they pay all the taxes and fines they owe, nothing will happen
But it is not easy to pay all the money. According to Chen's law, merchants evade taxes and punish them with five times the tax. The government set a rule for them to pay all five years, which is compulsory. Even businessmen who have colluded with the government for less than five years have to accept it.
The consequence of not obeying the law is to search the house. Yu governor and others are the lessons of the past. No one wants to follow their old path.
However, what they don’t understand is that the government only needs money and does not have silver notes. Obviously, silver notes are much easier to carry than silver.
The above order is not allowed to be negotiated. If they want it, they have to give it to the money.
For a time, the merchants involved in Ezhou raised silver everywhere, and had reached a crazy point. Some fines were huge, and they could not afford so much money for a while. They were even willing to exchange full bills for insufficient silver. They would rather bear some losses than raise the money within three days.
……
Facts have proved once again that force is the easiest way to solve the problem
The governor of Ezhou and others were taken into prison vans and were ready to transport them to the capital with their property and the tax and silver paid by Ezhou merchants.
They took some long journeys from the capital to Ezhou, and it took them more than half a month. They should be getting back soon. In the latest half a month, these silvers will appear in front of Emperor Chen.
This time, the property of several officials in Ezhou and the tax and silver paid by Ezhou merchants totaled more than 3 million taels.
These three million taels are not silver notes, but real silver. Although the visual impact is a bit big, some other things add up, and a total of more than a hundred carriages are loaded, so it is not very convenient to transport them.
Tang Ning stood on the street, looking at the convoy that could not be seen at first sight, and couldn't help but lick her lips
More than three million taels of Ah, he has to take the No. 1 prize three times, so that Tang Yaojing can earn so much
All the assets of their family now must be more than three million taels, but there is far less than that in stock. Even he himself has seen such a scene for the first time. When he glanced at the box full of silver, an uncontrollable impulse would surge in his heart.
Tang Ning looked away and couldn't bear to look again
Song Qian stood beside him and asked: Lord Tang, I am afraid that the capital will be in chaos this time. Should I write a memorial first and send it to the capital quickly so that His Majesty can be prepared?
No, Tang Ning shook his head and said: I plan to give His Majesty a surprise and let this note walk a few more days on the road...
What surprises are unexpected, and surprises are not called surprises.
Moreover, before these things are shipped to the capital, there must be some news that will arrive before them. It would be better to let the ghosts and monsters in the court show their true colors first. After he returns to the capital, he doesn't have to guess one by one.
The defenders of Ezhou cannot leave Ezhou. The only one who escorted the convoy was Ezhou's official officer. Tang Ning specially sent ten members of the sharp blade to follow him in case something unexpected happened on the road.
I think nothing will happen. After all, this is three million taels, not three hundred thousand taels. If any bandits dare to make these silver ideas, Emperor Chen would probably send a large army to level their mountain. It was like there was no thief who dared to call the government to expedite letters. Anyone who had the ability to make these silver would not be so brainless.
Tang Ning handed the two letters to the team leader of the sharp blade and said: After returning to Beijing, he handed one of these two letters to Fang Hong, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other to General Xiao Lang.
The team leader bowed and said: Yes
Tang Ning waved his hand and said: Let's go
The team leader turned around and whispered: Let's go!
……
The distance from Ezhou to the capital is not close, nor far away.
It takes half a month for ordinary people to travel at normal speed, but if they speed up, they will arrive in three days.
At this time, several days have passed since the Ezhou Rebellion
In the capital, a fast horse galloped from the official road in the distance, raised all the smoke and dust. When he reached the city gate, he stopped quickly.
After he entered the city, he headed straight to a high gate.
A moment later, in a deep courtyard, a middle-aged man slapped the table and said angrily: What did you say? Ezhou Governor Don’t Get the Lord, Chief Sima, are all taken down?
The man nodded and said: When the villain set out from Ezhou, he heard that the man was going to take them to the capital to question him. I am afraid that he will arrive in Beijing within ten days.
The middle-aged man fell into gloomy and walked out of the mansion with big strides, saying: Get a sedan chair and go to the Tang family.
In the Tang Mansion, Tang Huai and Tang Qi who received the news returned home from the yamen. The latter frowned and said: He took down all the high-ranking officials in Ezhou, and even the Chief Censor arrested?
The middle-aged man said: The officials of the Ministry of Personnel have just received news. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel have never done this before. Could this be instructed by His Majesty?
Impossible Tang Qi shook his head and said: I heard that there were several traitors in Jiangnan. Your Majesty sent him this time, probably for this matter. If Your Majesty really wanted to touch Jiangnan, he would have done it long ago
The middle-aged man said: So, was he his own decision to do this?
He smiled and said: If so, wouldn’t this be our chance?
What's the hurry? Tang Huai glanced at him and said: Just send the news out, you don't have to do anything else. Someone will do what you want to do.
The middle-aged man was stunned and looked dazed. There were many officials from Jiangnan in the court, and there were more officials close to Jiangnan. They may not have the same political views, but sometimes they will unite and work together.
Tang Ning's actions this time have touched the interests of all of them and will surely cause fierce criticism from officials in Jiangnan.
Among the many parties in the court, Jiangnan is the largest and most powerful. Many times, even His Majesty has to compromise. With Tang Ning alone, he can defeat Jiangnan.
Can he be the enemy of one person and the enemy of ten thousand people?
The middle-aged man looked at Tang Huai and smiled and said: "The lower official understands."
……
Officials of Chen State have to attend the morning court almost every day, because His Majesty is diligent in the government affairs and rarely relaxes
However, the morning court can be long and short, from a few hours, or as short as less than a moment. Most of the time, I talk about several major events in the court, and I will retreat in no time.
In the past half a month, there are two major events discussed in the morning court.
First, the grassland. In the past year, Wanyan's troops have become more and more powerful. The Jiagu and Shuhu departments that Chen Chu secretly supported can no longer stop their expansion.
Once the Wanyan tribe annexed these two tribes, they will be invincible on the grassland. The next target is Chen Chu.
Second, the Western Regions. The rise of Xiaowan in the Western Regions was faster than that of Wanyan tribe. In half a year, two other major Western Regions powers were annexed by them. If this continues, the west side of Chen State will face great pressure. If Xiaowan develops a disobedient heart, he will become a great enemy of Chen State.
The court officials discussed these two matters for half a month, but they did not discuss them. Emperor Chen looked at the noisy court, rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said: This matter will be discussed tomorrow. If you have something to report, you will leave the court without any trouble...
After he finished speaking, an official walked out of the crowd, held the tablet and said in a deep voice: I impeached the General of the Zuo Xiaowei Central Army, Tang Ning, the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and took advantage of the inspection and assessment to act arbitrarily, overstep his power, and cause trouble to the local area...
Over the years, they have opened up and down channels to buy officials and put the goods used to register and pay taxes in the official warehouse. They can only pay at least half of the total amount or less, and they can pay at least half of the commercial tax.
This time, the high-ranking officials from the capital found the problem on the spot. After counting the goods in the official warehouse, their tricks were nowhere to be hidden.
