Qian Aichang nodded: "What you said is quite reasonable, Lao Wu, His Majesty the Emperor has lived in the deep palace since he was a child, what does he know?"
It's not that what the people below say that he believes?
Anyway, those officials are the best at deceiving their superiors and subordinates. ”But?
Qian Aichang worried, "It takes time to starve to death to the victims, but our beautiful lady has been pampered since she was a child, how can she stand the filth of the victims?"
Let's take her to your private house today, shall we?"
”Wu Zhongyong sighed, "Brother, there are also many victims near my private house!"
Now the entire West Lake waterscape is full of victims, this week Yanru is really not kind, this kind of crooked idea can come up with it?
”The two sighed!
In fact, these two guys are really right, people like Zhou Yanru do want the victims to starve to death more than them, but Zhou Yanru just thinks about it.Just kidding, who is an official now doesn't know that Chongzhen has a secret agent in his hands?
This group of spies can be called pervasive, even the ministers whispered to the concubine in bed, they can eavesdrop on you, this group of spies is much more awesome than what Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories are.If he really deliberately starved the victims to death, he was afraid that His Majesty would immediately kill his nine clans, and by the way, he would crush his bones and scatter ashes.The carriage drove slowly, and finally arrived at Qian Aichang's private residence.As soon as the two of them got off the carriage, they saw many victims carrying hoes and hoes, and cultivated the land.Qian Aichang was anxious.What would he do if these victims stayed for a long time?
How much money did this lake-view house cost him?
And the land around here is all his money family!
Why did the surname Zhou do this?
At this time, a chubby housekeeper ran over, and the housekeeper panted and said: "Master, it's not good, someone came to the yamen after you left yesterday, and they said that our land here was originally official land, which was occupied by our money and family furniture, and now it must be returned."
Qian Aichangleng!
It seems like?
This land used to be official land, but now who in Hangzhou doesn't occupy a few official lands?
Why do you want to take his money family under the knife?
It's so unfair, this guy surnamed Zhou really deserves to die.Qian Aichang and Wu Zhong entered the private house with iron faces, but after a while, the housekeeper came to report again that the Qian family's goods were seized.In the past few days, the rich families in Hangzhou have had a hard time, since Zhou Yanru came, the prefect Ma Cai has a good dog with an owner.The two were embarrassed, first killed a group of old officials in Hangzhou Mansion, and found some scribes and servants.You must know that in the past, the scribes and servants of Hangzhou Mansion were all intertwined with the rich families in the city, and even the prefect could give you a vacancy.The Ming Dynasty had a system.That is, the officials are all from other places, but the scribes and officials are all found locally, and the officials and officials are separated.Because officials are mobile, and officials have been entrenched in one side for a long time, and after a long time, old officials in some places can control local government affairs, and even operate in the dark to replace officials.This is the maladministration of the Ming Dynasty!
Even if Chongzhen crossed over, he had no way to change it for a while.Now Ma Cai, with the support of Zhou Yanru, has replaced the scribes and servants who eat inside and out, and he is even more handy in doing things.The Hangzhou government began to thoroughly inspect the fields, the population of the wealthy and wealthy who hid and did not report it, and the tax evasion, smuggling, and other violations of law and discipline.For a while, the entire Hangzhou Mansion was full of chickens and dogs, and people were panicked, or that sentence, the rich families of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but check carefully, especially the rich families in the south of the Yangtze River.One pile at a time, one by one!
It is simply shocking, the entire Hangzhou government has evaded taxes at least 6 million taels of silver in recent years, and the official fields that have been embezzled are even more numerous.None of the previous Hangzhou government officials were clean, and the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the mutual exchange of officials and businessmen, has formed a huge interest group.After finding out this, even Zhou Yanru and Ma Cai were scared, even the two of them didn't expect to be so widely implicated?
If the things they have in their hands are presented to His Majesty, I don't know how many officials will lose their heads?
The two of them don't know how many forces they will offend?
But?
If you find out, can you not report it to Your Majesty?
I'm afraid that His Majesty will take off his head first.Zhou Yanru stared at the evidence in his hand.He let out a long sigh.Zhou Yanru actually has no lofty ambitions at all, what a mediocre official like him wants is nothing more than eating and waiting for death, the future of the country?
The future of the nation?
What about him Zhou Yanru's woolen thread?
But now if Zhou Yanru presents all this evidence, with His Majesty's character, he will inevitably make an example of him, and take Hangzhou Mansion and previous Hangzhou Mansion officials to open the knife, and then he will inevitably be full of people, and he Zhou Yanru will become famous from now on, and will even be praised by the people!
it!
This is so special that it hurts people's eyes, this kind of showy thing should be sent to Xu Guangqi, he is more selfless!
Although Zhou Yanru desperately didn't want to be in the limelight and didn't want to offend people, he still had no choice but to give Chongzhen a fold and presented the evidence together.Beijing, Qianqing Palace!
After Chongzhen received the excerpts and evidence, he quickly summoned Wen Tiren, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Xu Guangqi, Fang Huazheng, Tian Ergeng, and Fang Yuegong, the secretary of the ministry."
Everyone!"
Chongzhen's voice, "I just received Zhou Yanru's excerpt, and the little Hangzhou Mansion actually evaded taxes by more than 6 million taels of silver?"
My heart hurts, so I ask what to do?
”6 million?
Even Wen Tiren was shocked, now that the country is in difficulty and the finances are depleted, His Majesty has formulated so many tax formulations, but they have not really been implemented.Wen Tiren's eyes rolled, "Your Majesty, these rich families are too hateful, please ask Your Majesty to use thunderous means to kill a hundred people, aren't they evading taxes by more than 6 million taels of silver?"
Your Majesty is to be asked to order these people to pay their taxes immediately within a due date. ”"Huh!"
Chongzhen sneered, "The people have to charge interest for a loan or anything, how can these garbage cheap them if they owe me so much silver?"
”"Spread my will, order Fang Zhenghua to arrest all the officials of Hangzhou Mansion involved in the case, and order Tian Ergeng to lead Jinyiwei to Hangzhou Mansion immediately.""
Order them to pay off the taxes they owe plus interest within half a month, return the encroached official land, report the hidden population, and I will not pursue other violations of law and discipline, but the arrears plus interest must be paid off, and I am not a black-hearted person, even if they have eight points of benefit, all those who can't pay it off will be raided!"
Eight cents?
All the ministers complained.Is this a high interest rate?
6 million taels of silver plus eight cents of interest, it is estimated that all the wealthy families in Hangzhou Mansion will have to raid their homes.
