Chapter 49 We want someone

"All memorials and questions related to the Ministry of Revenue are temporarily detained, and it is said that the incident happened suddenly and there is no time to verify the situation, which is not convenient to disturb the bureau. I will submit it after a few days."

Xu Jingchang was wearing a crimson official uniform and sat in the main hall of Tongzhengsi, saying quietly.

Hu Yan was stunned and whispered: "Our Tongzheng Department has never had the power to detain memorials, not to mention that it involves the Inspectorate, the Six Sections, and even the Qingliu of the Imperial College of Hanlin Academy has written a letter to the Imperial College, if..."

"Don't worry about them, go and tell Wu Shan and tell me something to Jinyiwei Ji Gang, and don't worry about the rest."

Hu Yan was stunned again, then nodded vigorously and hurriedly went down. Wu Shan knew the tricks better than him. When encountering major events, he could not hide them from the emperor. This is the first one.

But you can't throw everything to the emperor, otherwise what's the use of putting you in the court?

It is really considered that Tongzheng Department is a communication room. Even if it is a communication room, it must be considered for the leaders. If it should not be put in, it must not be put in.

Notifying the Jinyiwei is equivalent to telling Zhu Di. Although the Jinyiwei can supervise all officials, they operate alone and only belong to the emperor.

I checked something privately without going through Sansi.

With Yao Guangxiao staring at Tongzhengsi, Xu Jingchang took out his free time, staggered and headed straight to the Ministry of Revenue. Along the way, Xu Jingchang was also thinking about what to say.

This sentence made Xia Yuanji stunned. Who am I and where am I? Is my name? Is my name Xia Yuanji?

Wang Zhong scolds me, you boy scolds me too!

Xia Yuanji suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, and he was about to scold him.

Xia Yuanji is not too old, less than forty years old. After being in charge of finance for several months, she is already in a state of trouble and has already given birth to a long time ago.

In the fourth year of Jingnan, the Ming Dynasty was defeated at the end of its territory, and the soldiers and provinces had to appease it. Some places were exempted from three years of land tax. Around Yingtian, it was also exempted from one year.

These situations are more and more common, so when Xu Jingchang learned about this, the first step was to take charge of the Tongzhengsi and suppress the matter first.

"So it needs to be disarmament." Xu Jingchang smiled.

Xu Jingchang sneered: "Okay, you say I am a treacherous person, so let's go to Your Majesty to argue. Look at who Your Majesty believes!"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "I'm unreasonable? Do you know in advance about Wang Zhong's tax evasion?"

The food cannot be collected, but the money has to be spent outside like flowing water.

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Young Master, please forgive me for not being able to agree."

"But what? You are waiting for Your Highness to observe the politics, and you are eager to take it out, and you call Your Highness away and go with you to check the taxes. You ask Your Highness to be a pawn for you to deal with the nobles of Jingnan. You conspire to provoke a conflict between Your Highness and the nobles. What is your intention? You dare to control the crown prince, you are too vicious. Why did you have such a treacherous charity in the Ming Dynasty? I really should have cut you down to avoid you from harming the country and the people and the world..."

Xia Yuanji snorted, "You think I don't know? But if you want to increase the manpower, you have to spend money. The warehouse rats in the Ministry of Revenue can't be maintained. What should you do if you ask me to do?"

"Xia Yuanji, I'm a god!"

But for Xu Jingchang, that's not what he thinks.

Xia Yuanji was shocked, "Xu Tongzheng, do you mean to use military personnel to collect taxes?"

Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly. He did not doubt Xu Jingchang's ability, but it was still a bit surprising that this kid was so proactive.

Xia Yuanji's lips were so angry that she was not as hateful as Xu Jingchang in the whole court.

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao also came.

"Then there will be hard work and government management."

Xu Jingchang smiled and suddenly sat down, then pulled Xia Yuanji and asked him to sit down too.

"Xu Tongzheng, don't make trouble."

At this time, Yao Guangxiao was like Zhu Gaochi's master. If something happened to his apprentice, the teacher could not stay out of the matter.

"Disarmament? What do you mean?" Xia Yuanji whispered: "Did you say you want to eliminate the elderly and weak and reduce expenses?"

This is also the experience Yao Guangxiao accumulated during the four years of military affairs, and first solved the most difficult problems.

Xu Jingchang's smile remained unabashed, "Young Master, you use provocation to me and it doesn't work. Wang Zhong is really hateful, but behind this incident, there are more hateful and vicious guys. You don't want Your Highness to be cheated, do you?"

Now is indeed the best opportunity. Wang Zhong made a mistake and just grabbed the nobles. He took advantage of their losses and robbed several thousand households to come, specifically picking the best ones to enrich the Ministry of Revenue. In the future, the tax officers went out, with a bright helmet and armor, and were full of murderous intent. Who would dare to evade taxes?

Yao Guangxiao was stunned, "What do you mean? Are you afraid of Wang Zhong's power and unwilling to take action? It's rare that you, Xu Tongzheng, still have people who are afraid."

When Xu Jingchang met, he cursed.

This leaves room for everyone to maneuver.

"No, I mean to allocate a few well-trained thousand households from the army to enrich our subordinates as special tax officers!"

Xia Yuanji was confused by this accusation, "Xu Jingchang, don't slander people with blood. You are a theory of killing your heart. You make things happen out of nothing, be a piece of confusing, and be deeply involved in writing... You are a treacherous!"

"I went to collect finance and taxation, which was approved by His Majesty. You also know that it is natural for you to observe the government and let him see the financial and taxation situation. There was no mistake in what I did. As a result, Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, relied on his drunkenness to make a big fuss and insulted me in public. Your Highness testified beside you. As an important minister of the court, I was so humiliated. Instead, you came to me to make trouble. Xu Jingchang, when did you collude with the nobles of Jingnan? Your party has been at the point of not asking about right or wrong?"

Xia Yuanji, who calmed down, was not a vegetarian. This hat was not necessarily weak at all.

Xia Yuanji frowned slightly, "I heard a little, but..."

Xia Yuanji's face turned slightly red, and he thought about it again and again.

The Jubaomen tax card bears great hope, but in the end there are too many noble court officials evading taxes, which is really difficult for Lao Xia.

"Actually, this matter is not very useful just to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. The key is to increase our tax collection ability. We need someone on our hands!" Xu Jingchang said in a straightforward manner.

"Shaoshi, I have been in Tongzhengsi for several months, and I have accumulated some experience. I want to tell me that only the ship of the imperial court started to leak from above. You should stare at Tongzhengsi for me, and I will help Your Highness settle this matter."

"You can wait!"

Otherwise, if the Tongzhengsi had handed over so many memorials from the court officials, if Zhu Di had not made any statement, the court officials would not have given up. They would either continue to write a letter or go to Zuoshunmen to ask for your visit. Even more, they could beat the drum of the crow and ask Zhu Di to come out directly.

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji's face relaxed a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh. He pointed to his temples, and the white hair exposed from under the beam crown was particularly dazzling.

But Wang Zhong jumped out and had to deal with him first. As for the rest, he would calculate slowly later.

Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly and was speechless for a while. His level was definitely the top. Zhu Gaochi had such a big deal when he first observed politics. Someone must have made a secret arrangement.

"Xu Tongzheng, Your Majesty has also appointed you as the prince's secretary. This time, Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, is arrogant and bold, has no court, has escaped taxes in front, and has hit the government office behind, so he cannot be kept no matter what. He simply takes him to sacrifice his flag and establishes his authority. Now he will hand over the memorial to impeach Wang Zhong."

Xu Jingchang found that there was also a hint of worry on the old monk's face, because just now, Zhu Di asked him to come over and mentioned the matter of teaching the prince.

"Yes, there are also elite soldiers!" Xu Jingchang gritted his teeth and said, "We are doing a business of snatching food from the tiger's mouth. If the guys in our hands are not good, the back will not be strong! We must use the best soldiers, the strongest general, and the smartest mind. Wang Zhong's life and death are insignificant, the key is that we must strengthen the tax yamen. Lao Xia, you now understand my hard work!"

When I heard the Queen, Xia Yuanji was speechless. That was your aunt, and even if I had reason, I couldn't speak out.

He successfully met Shangshu Xia Yuanji in the signing room.

"I understand your thoughts, Lao Xia, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. The commercial tax has been implemented for several months now, especially at the end of the year, the growth rate has slowed down. Seeing that there is money everywhere, it just can't be collected. So you want to kill the chicken and scare the monkey, and then pull your highness over, and use his name to suppress all officials and nobles and implement this matter as soon as possible."

But Xu Jingchang reacted much faster than him, "Your damn plot against Your Highness, you have the ability to come for me! Let's go with me and go with the Queen to judge!"

"Xu Tongzheng, in this way, you are the scheming and conspiring!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's all for enriching the Ming Dynasty's treasury, and it's all for the country."

Xia Yuanji nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, is Xu Tongzheng willing to meet you with me?"

"Okay, no matter what the difficulties are, let's take it together!"
