Chapter 215 It's all about money
Zhao Xu left the Qingshou Hall, went to Cining Hall, Renming Hall, Zhao Ji and other places, and returned to Funing Hall in the middle of the night.
In the study room of Funing Palace, Zhao Xu was drinking tea and rubbing his tired eyebrows.
"Let's go back today. If there is nothing to do, the palace will take two days off. The annual holiday outside the palace is fifteen days, so let's take care of it lightly." Zhao Xu said with a light breath.
Tong Guan glanced at Chenpi and didn't say anything.
Tangerine thought about it for a while and said, "It's really nothing."
As the saying goes, if there are too many lice on the head, it will not be itchy, and the outside is almost in trouble, but the palace actually feels nothing is wrong.
Zhao Xu waved his hand and picked up the memorial at hand.
Tangerine Pi and Tong Guan retreated out, but neither of them left and were waiting outside the door.
Zhao Xu was looking at the "military reform strategy" jointly organized by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. There was a lot of content, and many of them were classical Chinese. Sometimes Zhao Xu had to look back and even thought about it word by word to understand the causes and consequences.
This "strategy" reformed the military system of the Song Dynasty. With regiments as a unit, one regiment was under the jurisdiction of 3,000 people and five regiments as a single army, with a total of 15,000 people, but with logistics, errands, auxiliary, etc., the total number was close to 20,000.
In addition, military positions were also redefined. The commander of a regiment was called the regiment commander, and the commander of a military was called the general manager.
The military ranks also broke the complex systems, mainly with the "Capital Captain". The leader of a team is the second lieutenant, the regiment commander is the colonel, and the general is the general. There are guerrillas, cavalry, and generals on it. Then, they are titled.
In this "strategy", everyone in the military system has no Pinyi, which means that they have drawn up the promotion routes of these military generals independently of the civil service system.
At the same time, in this strategy, there are also plans for the arrangements of military deployments, defense targets, checks and balances in various places, including war zones in various places.
Zhao Xu looked at it carefully and it was not until dawn that he finished reading it.
Zhao Xu poured a cup of strong tea and said to himself: "It's basically within my framework. However, the specific strategy is not mentioned."
The Privy Council and the Ministry of War are still in a proper position and do not mention the heads and minds of each army. These are required to be finalized by Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu had some lists in his mind, but only a small number of them were needed, so he had to continue to investigate.
Seeing the sky getting brighter outside, Zhao Xu stretched out of the study and said, "You can rest on shifts, I'll go to sleep for a while."
Tangerine Pi, Tong Guan hurriedly responded and accompanied Zhao Xu back to the bedroom.
Zhao Xu washed and rinded. At this time of the Chinese New Year, the palace was a little calmer.
Although the departments outside the palace are on duty during the holidays every year, there are still people on duty. Many things need to be done starting this year, and overtime is being done.
Ministry of Revenue.
A large carriage suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Ministry of Revenue. An old man came forward with a post and looked at the doorman and said, "This man, the villain was ordered to donate money to the court."
The guard looked at several large carriages and the neatly packed large boxes on it, with a strange look. One of them pointed at the carriage path: "Are all these?"
The old man said, "Yes, there are a total of 10,000 guan. Please order it."
Hearing the '10,000 guan', a group of guards changed slightly, and one of them raised his hand and said, "Please wait."
He turned around and ran in, obviously trying to hire someone.
The other guards stared at several large carriages and looked at the old man again, with a weird and surprised expression.
Not long after, a doctor came out, had a few conversations, and politely invited the old man in.
Several large carriages were pulled in through the side door, and the Ministry of Revenue quickly began to count them, making a crisp and restless sound.
It took half an hour to count it.
...
The left minister of the Ministry of Revenue came to the residence of the Secretary of Shangshu Liang Tao, with a strange expression and said, "Shangshu, I have received a donation of 10,000 yuan."
Because the treasury was empty before, the Ministry of Revenue had always opened up donations to the public, but this was the first time that it was such a large amount of 10,000 yuan.
Liang Tao was stunned and said, "Who donated it?"
The Left Minister shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't say anything. It was sent by a servant. I left a 'Shi Jiu' and left."
"Shi Jiu?" Liang Tao frowned. This was obviously a pseudonym. He immediately said: "For such a big deal, you have to know what to do. Find a way to check it out and don't move the money for the time being."
The Left Minister responded, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Shangshu, Imperial City Department, Ministry of Justice, and Censorate have confiscated too many residences, and the total number may be nearly ten million. Will these be entered into the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Liang Tao glanced at him, and actually moved in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said, "It should be true, wait and see."
The Left Minister said 'nearly tens of millions', but Liang Tao knew it well that if he had not been attacked, the number might have been several times more than that, not counting the gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, precious calligraphy and paintings, yards, shops, fields, etc.
The Zuo Shilang knew that the court was now in the gangsters and the government affairs hall did not speak, and nothing they said was useless, so they quickly changed the topic.
The "Fangtianjun Tax Law" has been implemented and will be promulgated once the court begins. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue will be the main force, and it will be necessary to clear the land of the country, verify the population, formulate taxes, etc. The task is very arduous.
Liang Tao discussed with the Left Minister for a long time, and finally returned to the Ministry of Revenue early and started work.
The Ministry of Revenue has been making arrangements, and now it is even more nervous.
At this moment, a shop on Yu Street was surrounded by a group of people, and many people rolled up their sleeves and looked like they were about to beat people.
"This landscape picture is fake! The authentic works have been hidden in a gentleman!"
"My picture is fake, too!"
"My horse picture is also fake!"
"It's all fake! Refund the money!"
"Refund money!"
A group of people clamored and filled the shop, and someone had already started to smash things.
The shopkeeper is a chubby middle-aged man. In the winter, he wiped his head and sweated coldly, and explained repeatedly: "The shop was also cheated, and it was also cheated. This painting was not ours... it was collected by us..."
"Bullied businessman! Refund the money!"
"Refund my five-spoon money!"
"Refuse me thirty stakes!"
A group of people grabbed the shopkeeper, and someone punched and kicked him, making him angry.
The paintings they bought were originally considered authentic, but recently they have been "same clothes" recently. When they heard that they were sold in the same store, they didn't know that they were all fake, so they rushed over together.
The fat shopkeeper was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't care about anything else and explained repeatedly, just not asking for a refund.
"Let's go to Kaifeng Prefecture!"
"Yes, take them to Kaifeng Prefecture, everyone will go!"
"Please take the initiative of Master Qingtian and take them away!"
A group of people were angry and looted and smashed the shops. After collecting all the shops, they pulled the fat shopkeeper to Kaifeng Mansion.
The fat shopkeeper was shocked and refused to go, but refused to refund the money. He was pulled out of the shop by a group of people and dragged it to Kaifeng Mansion.
Kaifeng Prefecture is now busy with the "new law" and is the first "experimental zone". It is in a state of confusion while dealing with the storm of the government and the country.
After a brief understanding, I saw that I couldn't mediate, so I directly pushed it to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple believed that it was a "fraud" and not a civil case dispute, so it asked them to report the case to the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice took it and started to investigate. Soon after, he found the person who sold fake paintings to the fat shopkeeper, but the juren, who was only nineteen years old, said that he only made half of it, and the other half was given to him by a "little young master".
The young master's identity is very mysterious and appears not many times, especially recently. But his family is definitely not simple, because to make so many fake paintings, you have to see the real ones first.
The Ministry of Justice had no choice but to arrange people to squat everywhere.
