Chapter 988 (2/2)

Jinshi means tax-free and corvee free, which means that there will be countless small businessmen to avoid the corvee and tax, and give their family property and land to Jin Shiguan. Just a master of the whole family, who has worked hard for more than ten years, can become a local tyrant. It's not easy to be a local tyrant who has to be courteous to the local government.How did the aristocratic families that had been rooted for decades, hundreds of years or even hundreds of years come from? How did those local rich people who privately opened up mineral resources come from? It evolved from the Jinshi officer. In Dazhou, no official is poor. Even Zhou Shian, who was willing to keep the poor and become an official, had not been sent things to his room in two or three days. Poor? He may not have much money, but he has never been short of food and clothing. ”

Chang en cold sweat Tianjin, ”old slave shallow, please forgive me.”

”You are right.” Gu Jiu said softly: ”there are some poor officials in the court, but this number is very rare. What's more, what the palace wants to check is the accounts of the yamen, not to clear the officials of corruption and bribery. ”

Chang en was a little confused, ”Niang Niang means, as long as the officials don't reach out to the Yamen storehouse, will everything else matter?”

Gu Jiu sprinkles fish food, ”I can't control it for the time being. Of course, if it goes too far, Jin Wuwei is not a decoration. ”

After saying that, she looked at Chang en, ”do you dare to bear this burden? It's a job to offend people. I have to admit nothing but money and accounts. ”

Chang en's pressure is great and he laughs bitterly.

”Now, does the old slave have a choice?”

He knew the empress's intention, and it was obvious that he had no way out unless he died.

Gu Jiu laughed. ”If you don't agree, you can only be sent overseas, or the northwest desert.”

Chang en's face turned white and said with a bitter smile, ”the old slave is scared to death.”

Gu Jiu whispered a smile, ”this little thing can't frighten Chang Gonggong. To be honest, Chen Dachang is in the south. It's a pity that he is too old to work. The palace allowed him to support himself and bought property for him in Jiangnan and the capital. However, the old man refused to accept the old man and said that he could not go to sea, but he could help the palace to focus on the south of the Yangtze River and fight for Yang Ji. The palace is worried that he will ruin Yang Ji's affairs by relying on his old age and selling his old one, so Zhou Miao is specially asked to hold on to this old thing. ”

These remarks revealed too much inside information.

Chang en was tongue tied, but he was shocked.

”Is Chen Dachang still alive?”

”Father Chang thought he was dead?”

Chang en told the truth: ”I haven't seen him for more than ten years. I heard that he went to the south. The old slave thought he had died at sea, but he was still alive. Zhou Miao went to the south, too? ”

Gu Jiu chuckled and said, ”in the south of the Yangtze River, aristocratic families and powerful families are well-established, and cattle, ghosts and snakes are everywhere. To deal with these local tyrants, we have to use people like Zhou Miao. ”

It's a good choice to deal with ghosts and ghosts.

Compared with the upright officials, Zhou Miao and other people who are deviant in their ways.

Chang en has already figured out, ”if we refuse our mother, will we go to the south to accompany the old ghost Chen Dachang?”

”You are not qualified to be with Chen Dachang. If you refuse this palace and go to the south, you will be escorted to a ship, where you will go abroad for several years to accompany a group of exiles, murderers, prisoners of war and slaves. ”

Chang en was sweating.

Gu Jiuchong laughed at him, ”have you thought about it?”

Chang sighed, ”think about it! The old slave is willing to work in the audit department. ”

”Very well! From now on, you will be the chief executive of the audit department. The former Guozijian old school will become the office of the audit department. The first task is to review and account the first quarter accounts of Huanyu and Sihai in half a month. The second task is to cooperate with the Shaofu to carry out a large-scale investigation of private mines. ”

Chang en frowned, ”private mine inventory? This matter has been handled by the Shao Fu before, but it has only been more than ten years. Why do you have to check it again? ”

Last time, in order to crack down on the private coinage, the Shaofu carried out an inventory of the mineral resources of Dazhou in the name of mining license.

The effect is good, and the number of privately minted coins on the market is decreasing year by year.

At present, people in the market more approve of the coins cast by Shaofu because they are not adulterated and have enough materials.

As long as the government ensures the smooth circulation of official coins in the market and meets the needs of the people for coins, there is no place for private money to survive.

Of course, this is an ideal situation.

The reality is that private money has never been extinct.

Because even if it is in accordance with the Shaofu's casting technology, even if it is not adulterated at all, it still makes money.

As long as there is money in business, there will be people who will take risks.

Gu Jiu deliberated, ”the main purpose of this mineral inventory is to crack down on private mining of iron ore. This palace requires you to close 50% of the iron mines. ”

Chang en was so shocked that he said, ”you can't be a lady! This will cause criticism from the DPRK and China, which may have unspeakable consequences. Those private mine owners have backing behind them, so they can't be easily moved. ”

”This time, you have to move the miners.” Gu Jiu's eyes were firm. ”Shao Fu, Jin Wuwei and NEISHI province will cooperate with the audit department in auditing. The tax on minerals is not low. Ten out of ten minerals evade taxes. This is your starting point. ”

Chang en was so anxious that he said, ”this can never be done, and the consequences are unimaginable.”

Gu Jiu smiles, ”this palace knows the consequence is very serious, so this palace has prepared a retreat for you.”
