Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 141 This dog should be punished!

Time flies by, and before you know it, three days have passed.

Within three days, the entire Wenyi City was undercurrents, and most of the officials in the court of Su State were almost watching the movement of Yushitai.

But Yushitai has been as quiet as before, as if the system of anonymous reporting that was so uproarious does not exist.

In the side hall of Zhongyuan Hall, the maid offered two cups of fragrant tea, motioned to the two sitting opposite each other, and retreated slowly.

Su Zhao held a memorandum in his hand, with a concentrated expression, after reading it, he put down the memorabilia in his hand, and said, "Yan Qing has recently taken up his post in Wenyi, and in just three days, he discovered so many problems."

This volume of thin volumes has different aspects from public security, sanitation, and customs. They are all the corresponding governance strategies that Yan Chang came up with in view of the current problems in Wenyi, and they have a lot of feasibility.

After all, he once served as the Prime Minister of the Qi State, and he is not just a person who only knows how to talk and talk.

"Your Majesty, since July, the sky has changed drastically. I don't know about other places. However, the rainstorm in Wenyi has not stopped for three days. The streets in the city are full of water, and it is difficult for pedestrians to walk. If the rainstorm continues, there may be waterlogging. I have asked the people to dredge the canal and lead it to the Qingtian River." Yan Chang, with a clear face, said another matter in a deep voice.

Su Zhaodao: "I don't worry about being alone in Wenyi. The previous emperors and princes deliberately built the capital on a high place, but the roads are muddy and the transportation of materials is inconvenient. The grain and rice in the city may increase for a while. Yan Qing will ask for more Pay attention to prices, and severely crack down on grain merchants who hoard goods.”

Wenyi City, in the history of Su State, has changed its city three times, and finally built it at the high altitude of Yuntai Mountain, along the Qingtian River. The city's construction design is quite ingenious, and there has been no flood for hundreds of years.

Speaking of roads, Su Zhao also intends to renovate roads across the country, but he still lacks money and food.

According to the account book sent by the former Situ Meng Jichang, the taxation of the Su State probably consists of land rent, small tax, customs duty, tea tax, commercial tax, mining tax, salt, iron and wine tax, vehicle and boat tax, and there are always more than a dozen kinds.

After all, even the world of Xianxia cannot do without these basic necessities.Immortals can eat and drink, but clothes and utensils must be prepared.

This world is said to be a high barrier for immortals and mortals, but in some fields, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is difficult for immortals to move without the help of mortals.

As for the seven counties of Su State in the first half of the year, 480% of the counties and counties were left as treasury reserves, and the remaining [-]% were handed over to the central Situ Mansion of Su State and set up in Taicang, Wenyi City. The grain tax revenue was [-] million shi and corn, but it was used to support the central and local governments. There are more than [-] officials and soldiers, and there are not many expenses left in half a year.

"Gongqing gentry don't pay taxes, relying on one husband to hold five families and manage a hundred acres of land, how many soldiers can they support?" Su Zhao thought: "It is still necessary to expand the group of small and medium-sized landlords, and mainly deal with the land. .”

With this in mind, Su Zhao said: "Yan Qing, I will dispatch some people recently to visit the three counties of Shanyang, Fengchi, and Ningguo near Wenyi, and find out how many hundreds of hectares there are in these three counties. The families of the above-mentioned rich and wealthy must be registered and recorded to prepare for the New Deal next year, and the land will be measured from these places next year."

One hectare is fifty mu of land, and one hundred hectares is five thousand mu of land. This is Su Zhao's tolerance for the annexation of the land of the rich and powerful in the country. Where generations have caused disasters, one counts as another, and they are all killed, and no one is wronged.

Most of these people are powerful after the former officials of the Su State. The animals were slaves, and they lived in luxury. If one day the State of Su suffered a national calamity, they would be the first to lead the way and offer their sacrifices.

Yan Chang heard the words, his face was surprised and he said: "The minister is stupid, the king and the lord used to treat things with ease, but now..."

After he became an official, he could clearly see that the young prince had great ambitions and worries, but recently, whether it was the report of the anonymous book or the arrangement of the New Deal, they all showed a kind of urgent radicalism.

"At this time, at that time, in a few days, the Chang Dynasty will be opened, and the solitary meeting will use some memorials from the local counties to inform the ministers of the recent changes in the world." Su Zhaolang said.

After the tidal wave of spiritual energy, the dragon energy of humanity will be stronger day by day, and it will only be a matter of one or two years to confer gods and worship generals, but the evil spirits in the early stage will also appear.

Seeing that Su Zhao didn't want to talk about it in depth, Yan Chang didn't pursue it.

While Su Zhao was thinking about it, the eunuch ordered him to enter the hall and whispered in his ear.

Su Zhao's eyes flickered, his face was cold.

But it was reported by Yushi Zhongcheng Chang Miao that the crime committed by Su Mao's son Su Shou in Fengle County had been investigated, and some things were beyond Yushitai's scope of responsibility.

Seeing that Su Zhao had something to do here, Yan Chang was about to resign.

Su Zhao looked a little cold, and said in a cold voice: "Let's meet together, Yushitai has just handled a big case, and I really have Su Yi's Zongbo."

Not long after, Chang Miao and An An, the censor Zhongcheng, walked into the hall one after the other.

Su Zhao glanced at An An and nodded.

On this side, when Chang Miao saw Yan Chang, he hesitated for a while, but after seeing Su Zhao signaled that it was okay, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I heard that Su Shou, the son of Su Mao, was detained in the inspection department yesterday. Shi Zhoudu and Ms. An'an went there in secret, interrogated him according to the evidence, and found that he had been a slave and injured people in Dafeng County, occupied fertile land, conspired with bandits, and other crimes. Both the chief secretary and the county magistrate are involved in the case, other than that, Mr. Zong Bosu seems to be..."

As he spoke, he handed over a thick stack of files.

Su Zhao took the file and flipped through it silently. The only sounds in the Zhongyuan Hall were the rustle of pages being flipped through, and the sound of rain hitting the sycamore trees outside.

"This dog deserves to be punished!"

The cold and frosty words resounded in the Zhongyuan Hall. By the side of the beams, pillars and curtains, the eunuchs and court ladies who stood silently knelt down. Chang Miao's complexion changed slightly, and he lowered his head slightly. Getting angry, even if it is a young man, is already frightening.

An'an said: "I also found out that this Su Shou's father, Su Maoli, has been connected to foreign countries. In the past three years, he has passed a lot of information on Su to Zheng in the south, including the deployment of soldiers in the three southern counties and the layout of the pass. Well, the concubine of Su Mao No. 17 is Zheng Guoshao’s singer, Fan Qiong, this Su Shou is also a wonderful person, and he got this singer into bed.”

As these words came out, the people present frequently frowned and shook their heads secretly.

Su Zhao's face was gloomy, he pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Come here, imitate your fate."

At this time, Shang Shulang, who was standing silently behind the pillar, came out with a panicked expression.

The eunuch offered the pen and paper, and the Shang Shulang took it, his hands were trembling, and following Su Zhao's cold voice, the Shang Shulang took the pen to write an order for a prince.

At this moment in Su Mao's mansion, in the study room, the lanterns were lit. Su Mao paced back and forth, his old face was full of anxiety, but he faintly sensed something was wrong, and asked an old servant, "Yu Shitai The person, what has happened in the past few days? Did you go to inspect the Yamen to pick up people?"

The old servant said: "My lord, I heard that the censor's platform is accepting all kinds of reports. He sent the censor to visit everywhere, and entrusted a cell boss from the inspection department. My son is staying in the inspection department."

Su Mao heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand to push the old servant away, and sighed.

He is not even as good as Yuan Ni. If the prince wants to touch him, he has no power to fight back.

"Fortunately, the correspondence between this old man and Zheng Guo Shaozai Fan Qiong was destroyed after reading, leaving nothing behind." Su Mao thought this way, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit settled.

However, at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and an old servant entered the study with a terrified expression, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, there are people coming from the palace."

Su Mao's complexion changed, and he forcibly calmed down and said, "What are you in such a panic, it's not like eunuchs never came to the palace before."

"It's not the eunuch, it's the imperial army..." The old servant said with a pale face.

Su Mao's face turned pale, and he slumped down on the chair.

At this moment, the sound of the rain outside was incessant, and on the corridor, Qu Kai's face was indifferent, followed by a group of black-clothed and black-armored guards, looking at Su Mao who was kneeling on the ground supported by his servants, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, Unfolding the silk silk, he said in a loud voice: "When the weather is right and the time is right, Su Mao, as an elder of the Su family, should have established virtue for all officials and shown love to the clan...but he has always lived extravagantly and unscrupulously. , Contributing to the country without size, and doing many crimes in the counties and counties... I thought about it when I was an old man, and I couldn't bear the crime, but I didn't expect it to get worse. Now I don't care about my kindness, colluding with the enemy country, and doing great harm to the country...Deprive all the lords , delivered to a judge for questioning..."

"Lord Su, take your orders." Qu Kai said in a deep voice with a calm face.

Su Mao tremblingly said: "The old minister refuses to accept! This is a false accusation, why did the old minister collude with the enemy country? This must be slander by a treacherous villain, the old minister wants to see the king, the old minister wants to see the king!"
