Night is falling, and the Chinese lights of Weiyang Palace are on.
In order to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Heyin, Liu Che convened all the nobles and ministers and family members of more than 2,000 stone in the Weiyang Palace to hold a celebration banquet.
Taking advantage of the gap in the banquet, Liu Che called Liu She, the Shaofu Order, to himself.
"I heard that Shaofu has arrested hundreds of people recently, what the hell is going on," Liu Che asked, playing with the wine bottle in his hand.
Now, in Guanzhong, nothing can be hidden from him.
What's more, it is a vicious incident such as the arrest of hundreds of people at one time.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing" Liu She was also very single, he bowed his head and reported: "These untouchables actually sold iron weapons privately, and they couldn't pay the fine, so the minister had to arrest them and let them work for His Majesty until the fine was paid."
Shaofu, in the past, mainly relied on the mineral output of Koufu and Yamazawa Salt Pond to get rich.
However, after Liu Che ascended the throne, he set up a salt and iron franchise.
Relying on the benefits of salt and iron, Shaofu earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a year It's really a lot of money.
Last summer, in order to strengthen the country's tax revenue, Liu Che issued an unrecorded edict to the Shaofu, the big peasants, and the lord Duwei Yamen.
The so-called edict that does not record is an edict that does exist, but does not record.
This kind of edict is generally very cheating.
It was the pit that the emperor dug for the ministers, and whoever jumped would die.
However, Liu Che's edict is not like this.
It's just that because that order doesn't quite fit Liu Che's image, Liu Che chose not to file it, lest someone hack him in the history books.
Naturally, this order was full of philistines.
The general meaning of this order is that from now on, the Shaofu, the Great Nong, and the Lord Duwei can withhold one-tenth of the tax collected in the current year as a small treasury of their own yamen.
Whether they use it for welfare or to expand the institutions of the yamen.
As long as it is reported and recorded, Liu Che will approve it.
Naturally, this immediately stimulated the enthusiasm of these yamen.
Even, the lord and the young lord were a little too enthusiastic.
The reason for this is actually related to the will of the bureaucracy itself.
As far as a bureaucracy is concerned, when it exists, it will definitely expand its powers and personnel at all costs, and at the same time desperately strive for funding and establishment.
In later generations, it can often be seen that there is a common tendency in both Eastern and Western bureaucracies to become more and more staffed and more and more bloated.
Under a sign, there are more than a dozen or twenty deputy directors, executive directors or something, a lot of them.
This is a representation of the corruption and degeneration of the bureaucracy.
Typically, it is not to do personnel.
But there is another side to the bureaucracy.
The terrifying and invincible Mi Imperial Tax Bureau, which is terrifying and terrifying to countless giants, and whose combat power is several times stronger than that of the FBI and CIA combined, is another extreme representative of the bureaucracy.
Iron-blooded, ruthless, ruthless, loyal to the mission, never slacking off.
Everything for the sake of collecting taxes, everything for the sake of collecting taxes This terrible bureaucracy, in the history of the Midi, has always stood out.
The gang boss, who neither the FBI nor the CIA can handle, was sent to prison for tax evasion.
The business tycoons who are powerful and have countless resources will definitely be sent to prison as long as they dare to evade taxes.
Even the Wall Street elites, who claim to control the Midty, can't help but tremble when they hear the name of the IRS.
And in the new century, this terrible bureaucracy is no longer even satisfied with running rampant within the Mi Empire.
They sent the tax bills to those rich people who did not live in Midi at all, but had the nationality of Mi, and reminded them very kindly: Dear, the time to file taxes has come And the current Yan Tie Division and the lord of the Han Dynasty Shaofu, Duwei Yamen, in Liu Che's eyes, already have some shadows of the Mi Empire's tax bureau.
Especially Shaofu, who simply regarded the salt and iron monopoly as its own ban.
No matter who it is, no matter who it is, as long as you dare to get involved in the sale of salt and iron, you will be bitten half by it and bruised all over your body.
In Shaofu's eyes, now, the meaning of its existence seems to have become its existence for salt and iron.
Because, most of the welfare of the Shaofu now, as well as many new establishments, depend on the profit retention of the salt and iron franchise.
And those large-scale workshops, even secret research, are inseparable from the support of the profit retention of salt and iron.
For the sake of money, Shaofu is a horizontal heart.
And if a bureaucracy is serious, the fighting power it can exert is endless.
Shaofu, on the other hand, has an independent army, an independent prison, and even officials from other systems belonging to the Han family.

When it seriously investigated the private trade in salt and iron, many private businessmen suddenly fell into blood mold.
The officials of the Shaofu directly broke into the door and seized the stolen goods.
Then, this captured guy has only two ways to go: one is to admit punishment, and the other is to go to hard labor.
Many people were fined by the Shaofu and went bankrupt Even the side branch of Dou's relatives was arrested by Shaofu and imprisoned, and he was not released until his family paid a huge fine.
As soon as this model was established, all of a sudden, everyone else became disciplined.
At least on the ground in Guanzhong, Shaofu basically eliminated the private salt and iron industry, and completely monopolized the sale of salt and iron.
But Shaofu is not satisfied with this.
Liu Che heard that some Shaofu officials had gone to Luoyang, planning to copy the model of Guanzhong locally.
Those who buy and sell salt and iron materials without permission will be directly punished severely as long as they are caught.
In this regard, Liu Che is very encouraging.
After all, it's rare to have a bureaucracy willing to do it, and that's a good thing.
However, there are two sides to everything.
This Shaofu is too invincible, so he actually learned the appearance of the rice empire tax bureau.
They even had to meddle in the iron trade between the people and their clans.
The hundreds of people arrested this time were basically farmers, and the reason for their arrest was simply that they privately asked a local blacksmith to make farm tools for themselves.
But Shaofu felt: Nima, you common people don't buy from the uncle and want to rebel So, the peasants and blacksmiths who took the lead were all arrested.
Lessons: A huge fine that they simply can't afford to pay for the least, and the one with the least will be fined 10,000 dollars Bitter peasants, how can they afford to pay this money Naturally, he could only go to the Shaofu for three years of compulsory labor to repay the fine.
This matter was reported by the embroidered guard.
Liu Che knew at a glance that this matter had to be managed.
It is a good thing that the government cracks down on private salt and iron.
However, even the common people themselves and the salt and iron trade within the same village have to interfere and meddle, which is a bit overkill.
"Shaofu, let these people go" Liu Che knocked on the back of his hand and ordered: "In the future, Shaofu only needs to manage private businessmen and sell salt and iron worth more than 5,000 yuan privately."
"Other small people, life is originally difficult, within their clan, in the same village, with the help of relatives and friends, the Shaofu should not interfere" "Nuo" Liu She dared not to listen to the order, and immediately said respectfully: "The minister will inform his subordinates of the holy order" "That's right" Liu Che looked at Liu She and said: "In the release of people, the Shaofu will pay these people some compensation according to the number of days of detention, in my opinion, it will use fifty yuan a day as the standard."
This kind of thing of brushing prestige and inviting people to buy the hearts of the people, Liu Che has never been afraid to do it.
This is also the basic skill of being a ruler.
In fact, every ruler is an actor.
The only difference is whether you can see through his acting skills.
Thinking of this, Liu Che couldn't help but look up at the starry sky again.
Tonight, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the moonlight is just right t1706231537:
