The simplest and most straightforward words actually lost all Shi Yiwen's thoughts of them, and in the end, all the longings came to the wine.

The wine is no longer a moist rice wine, and the wine is so soft that it has too great a momentum that it cannot express the inner welcome to friends.

In the end, the liquor will be added.

The wine was taken out of the supermarket and had been in the cellar for more than a year...Prince Wine.

For this wine with unique aroma and extremely high degree, whether it is Chang Fatty, Xu Weixin or Jiao Rong, they all feel too strong. Obviously, they are not used to this strong wine, so Shi Yiwen can only laugh at it.

It is the time to eat hot pot in winter, and the spicy red oil hot pot unexpectedly received praise from the three of them. Sure enough, although the spicy taste is very fresh, it easily conquered their taste.

He was squeezing mutton, tasting his strong wine, and watching the red oil rolling in the hot pot. After three rounds of wine, Shi Yiwen, who was also drunk, looked at Chang Yukun's body and joked.

"Marty, you are fat again. This body shape really doesn't deserve your identity. How can a dignified Martyr be so fat?"

"nonsense!"

When Chang Yukun heard this, he was unhappy to say.

"It's just because I'm a marquis who wants to be so fat. Who made me a marquis..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Yukun suddenly stopped and stared at Shi Yiwen with wide eyes.

"You, you, you boy, are not authentic. As soon as we meet, you will use me as a monkey... No, if you drink, drink, you will be punished three times. You dare to say that I am a monkey!"

"No, you are Master Monkey!"

Shi Yiwen said with a smile, and at the same time he picked up the wine glass and drank it with him. After drinking, he looked at him and said.

"Actually, I asked you to come here this time to ask everyone to help me,"

"oh,"

After he said this, Chang Yukun, Xu Weixin and Jiao Hong all looked at him and looked at him. After a moment, Chang Yukun grinned.

"What can I, a lazy marquis, do for you?"

"It's not helping me, it's helping God."

Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Now I am ordered by the emperor to handle the cash tickets. It is the time to hire people. Because this is the imperial envoy, I don't need to pass the imperial examination to elect officials. Now I have eleven cash tickets to handle, and at least eleven cash tickets to be tasked with the Taxation Department. How about it, are you interested?"

Taxation Division!

What kind of official is this?

When they met Chang Yukun, Xu Weixin and Jiao Rong all looked at him with suspicion, and Shi Yiwen smiled.

"How to say it? This errand doesn't look very eye-catching, but if it is done, I think the eleven bills and taxation department will be no less prominent than the governor of a province."

Not inferior to the governor of a province!

A seemingly casual sentence shocked the three of them.

"How is this possible?"

"It's Zhiyuan, what are you kidding?"

"joke?"

Their words made Shi Yiwen laugh.

"Do you really think I'm joking? If these eleven tax tariffs are adjusted, I can guarantee that each tax tariff will be no less than 500,000 taels next year!"

Five hundred thousand taels!

Shi Yiwen's words made Chang Yukun, Xu Weixin and Jiao Rong open their eyes wide in horror. The tax amount of 500,000 taels! How much tax is collected in Nanzhili in a year? In addition to the Ming Dynasty in Nanzhili, there is a province with tax amounts of more than 500,000 taels! In this regard, the tax department is indeed not inferior to the governor of a province.

"This, is this possible?"

Looking at Xu Weixin who opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe him, Shi Yiwen asked back.

"Have I ever said big talk?"

This... his rhetorical question made the three of them fall into silence. Seeing that they seemed to be still thinking about these things, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Mingda, in fact, I invite you here this time, not only do I want you to help me, but also want you to recommend a few people to me. After all, my general tax department needs at least eleven tax departments. I plan to use the children of Nanjing ministers in these eleven tax departments."

All use the sons of Nanjing’s heroes!

This is Shi Yiwen's plan. The son of Nanjing was another choice for him to put Chaoguan in addition to the battle between the nobles in the capital and the civil officials in Jiangnan. After all, the ministers in the capital and the ministers in Nanjing can be said to be two groups that are incompatible with water and fire. Most of the latter were honorary ministers who followed Emperor Gao and were awarded the title, so they have been away from the center of the court for many years, and naturally they will not be affected by the struggle between civil officials and ministers.

"All, all the honorary ministers..."

Jiao Rong looked at Shi Yiwen in surprise. He, what does he mean?

"Because their special identities, when facing local officials, they will not be afraid of them, will not be affected by them, and will sit idly by and watch the tariffs be lost."

Shi Yiwen smiled and used another excuse to conceal his purpose. In fact, at the beginning, his plan was very clear, which was to borrow the honorary ministers from the capital to deal with civil servants and borrow the honorary ministers from Nanjing to collect taxes. In this way, he could stay out of the matter and maintain his status as a transcendent during the court's struggles.

Shi Yiwen's explanation made Chang Yukun smile.

"You kid is full of bad water. You want the marquis, I to work for you, and use the marquis as the marquis to block the possibility of interfering in the money. In the end, you kid will take all the advantage. What benefits can I gain?"

Because he is a friend, he is ruthless. After hearing what he said, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Actually, there are quite a lot of benefits..."

Seeing that Xu Weixin was silent all the time, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Among the heroes, there are inevitably virtuous people like Kunwu who are not satisfied with talent and have the country. Many of them are from the side rooms. Although they live a carefree life, they are not well-off. In order to prevent corruption among the customs officers, I plan to promote high salaries and maintain integrity in the money!"

"High salary to maintain integrity?"

"Yes, in addition to paying salary according to grade, the fifth-rank tax department has a performance prize ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 taels per year. This performance prize is not only related to the tax collection in the banknote, but also related to year-end audits. If corruption and other behaviors are found, corresponding deductions will be made."

In terms of "high salary to maintain integrity", Shi Yiwen did not adopt the so-called "integrity-raising silver" in the Qing Dynasty, but adopted the "performance" of the late Qing customs and passed the comprehensive review and distribution at the end of the year. Of course, the money was divided into two pieces, one was paid with monthly salary, and the other was equipped with a reward and punishment system.

"Eight thousand taels! This is really a lot!"

Not to mention ordinary people, even Chang Yukun, the marquis, was shocked when he heard about 8,000 taels. After all, like Qi Jiguang's soldiers, only ten taels of military salary a year. Eight thousand taels are almost equivalent to the income of ordinary soldiers for 800 years!

Such huge income is aroused. Not to mention ordinary people, even Chang Yukun is moved. As for Xu Weixin, who is not popular at home, he is naturally very moved. However, after a long silence, he raised his head and looked at Shi Yiwen and said.
