Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

But right now, every household pays food, and they all come with more food than the amount paid...

"Isn't there a rule in the imperial court that you can exchange money for food, why do you..."

The emperor stopped a man who had just paid the grain and asked casually.

Hearing this, the man looked at the rich and noble emperors, hesitated for a while, then subconsciously looked back at the officials collecting grain, shook his head and said, "It's not worth the money!"

As soon as this remark came out, the emperor's expression did not change, and the expressions of Li Ruolian and several officials from various ministries who accompanied him also changed suddenly.

"Not worth it?"

"The Imperial Grain Bank has a market price regulation every year, why is it not worth it?"

The emperor frowned, and there was a cold flicker in his eyes.

The man was a little hesitant, but he seemed to be a rare person to confide in, so he poured out bitter water:

"Grain is not worth a lot of money when it is sold. The county magistrate collects the grain, but he has to collect it at the market price..."

The man confided happily, but the faces of several court officials who followed the emperor's smugness became paler and paler, and the atmosphere also inexplicably froze.

"Let me tell you, all the officials are full of bad water. What the court said is good, but in their hands, it will change..."

"Where are you going to make sense of this!"

The accompanying officials trembled, the man sighed, but the emperor smiled.

In this world, if you want to see the real prosperity and well-being, you really can only look at the data on paper.

Really tore off that layer of braided skin of the flourishing age, and there is no place that can be seen!

What the man in front of him said was very clear.

The imperial court drew up the agricultural tax to be levied, the imperial court drew up the market price of grain, and the imperial court drew up the amount of grain to be exchanged for money.

Of course, this is just a policy at the top, officials, and countermeasures at the bottom.

The imperial court drew up the agricultural tax ratio, so it manipulated the public scales used to weigh tax and grain, and weighed it on the public scales. It is normal for a few taels to be missing.

The imperial court has drawn up the market price of grain, and it is difficult for the public scale to be normal. The imperial court price has also become a tool to harm the public and benefit the private.

In this link, the officials, the scholars, and the merchants of the same place all benefit, and the only ones who are injured are these ordinary people.

The Son of Heaven seems to have to be thankful that Daheng is now in a stable order. These people dare not go too far, and can only make small troubles within the framework set by him.

At least, these people who should have lived a good life were not forced to live.

The Son of Heaven should thank them!

The emperor asked again: "Is there no one to take care of this kind of mess?"

"Whoever cares is an official, who can we find!"

The man sighed: "The year before last, the fourth child in the village next door refused to accept this and went to the Yamen to report to the officials. As a result, he was directly thrown into the prison. He was locked up for more than half a year. When he came out later, he went crazy!"

The emperor asked again: "Isn't there a censor in the imperial court who often comes here to inspect?"

The man was taken aback, and looked at the emperor suspiciously: "Master Yushi will come to this place where we don't want to shit?"

The emperor was startled, but then smiled again, he was still a little naive.

No matter how much he said, it seemed that he couldn't change this fact.

Even an official at the lowest level is still a great official to them. If the situation is reversed, they... can only accept it!

Powerless to resist, also helpless.

When this helpless savings reaches its limit and erupts directly, it will be civil chaos, the prelude to chaos in the world.

In that chaotic world, the emperor went through and suppressed it. Right now, even if he doesn't want to admit it to his world, it seems that this old road has been traveled countless times, and his Daheng is still stable. stepped up.

You know, this...is still in Liao Province, a place that the emperor has never stopped paying attention to since the recovery of this land.

A large amount of money and material resources are invested every year, and countless inspection teams from various ministries of the imperial court every year...

The emperor glanced at the trembling servant of the household department and the right governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but said nothing, but walked directly towards the official who collected the grain.

"What are you doing, you need to pay food, go back and line up!"

A yamen servant scolded him, and stepped forward to block the emperor.

Li Ruolian stepped forward quickly, stopped the servant, and a token of Jin Yiwei directly hit the servant's face.

"Jinyiwei Chaan, get out of here!"

The faces of the yamen servants changed drastically, and the originally noisy scene of paying the grain was silent for an instant, and their gazes were suddenly fixed on the emperor and his party.

"Big... big lord..."

An official trotted over and looked suspiciously at the emperor and his party.

The emperor didn't pay any attention to it, and walked straight forward, picked up the head of the public grain scale, and an official subconsciously came to stop him, and the shining blade was directly placed on the official's neck.

"Jin Yiwei's work, do you dare to stop it?"

Li Ruolian scolded again.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling Li Ruolian to step down, weighed the heavy scale, and then the emperor looked at the official in front of him.

Official nine-rank official uniforms, according to the current Daheng Lijia reform policy, should be officials at the township level.

Obviously, the official in front of him is the main person in charge of collecting taxes and grains.

"I took this scale head away, you guys, change to another scale!"

The word "Zhen" was like an unprecedented thunderbolt. The official in front of the emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and when his feet softened, he knelt down on the ground with a plop. The ground was wet and he urinated out of control.

The emperor didn't say another word, picked up the weighing head, and walked away.

Seeing this, the accompanying officials and soldiers also hurriedly walked away.

Everything seemed peaceful, but the accompanying people knew that this time, since the Son of Heaven was not the same as in the previous inspections, he just let the local officials handle it.

That proves that this time, things will be difficult.

What's more, the emperor personally ended up...

Chapter 7 Chapter [-]: Wrath of the Son of Heaven

The news that the Son of Heaven's inspection tour had arrived in Liao Province was naturally no secret to officials in Liao Province.

It's just that the emperor's car has arrived in Shenyang, who would have thought that in just one day, with almost no news, the emperor has already arrived in Liaoyang mansion!

Even if the news comes from the Shenyang Mansion, it is obvious that the news cannot be spread in just one or two days.

Of course, on weekdays, if the Son of Heaven took his clothes incognito, there would naturally be a tip-off between officials, but this time, the news of Bai Lian's plot to assassinate him was no longer a secret.

Under such circumstances, the itinerary of the emperor seems to be a taboo among taboos, and no one dares to use the head of his own family to inform others.

Under such circumstances, the emperor suddenly came to Liaoyang Mansion, and the officials from all over the Liaoyang Mansion were not caught off guard.

The scene of Li Family Village is undoubtedly the greatest manifestation of being caught off guard.

At this moment, beside the carriage, the Son of Heaven stood with his hands behind his back, and what he was holding in his hand was still the weighing head that was enough to weigh people's hearts.

Li Ruolian and the accompanying court officials also stood beside the emperor trembling and startled.

This surprise was not only for Liaoyang government officials, but also for them.

In this world, no matter what happens, as long as it involves the Son of Heaven, it cannot be a trivial matter.

No matter how small a matter is, it is a big matter when it involves the Son of Heaven.

What's more, it has been the end of the ninth year since the founding of Daheng. Looking at all the officials in the world, no one knows that the emperor they serve is not a good talker.

The emperor's self-proclaimed tolerance seemed to them to be unprecedentedly harsh.

The current matter was picked up by the emperor, obviously, it is definitely not easy.

Sure enough, after the Son of Heaven stopped for a while, the voice followed: "Send people immediately to the surrounding prefectures and counties to bring their public scales."

Li Ruolian was slightly startled, and immediately responded with cupped fists: "I obey."

The emperor nodded, weighed the scale head in his hand, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.

The emperor governing the country is very simple.

If the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who caused the problem.

Even killing people can't cure the problem, it's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause, but killing the symptoms is enough!

The emperor is now... going to kill someone!

The accompanying officials looked at each other, at this moment, no matter how much they wanted to persuade, no one dared to say a word.

Things are brought up in front of the emperor, and it is impossible to be kind.

Now, they can only pray that this time, the sword of the emperor will not implicate other people.

At this moment, Er Dezi came in a hurry carrying a scale.

"Your Majesty, here it is."

"Weigh it."

The emperor casually threw the scale head to Er Dezi, and Er Dezi quickly picked up the scale and weighed it.

The eyes of the officials were also subconsciously fixed on this public scale.

Soon, Er Dezi's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, three taels are missing."

"Three or two?"

The emperor was suspicious, but soon, this suspicion turned into a strong killing intent!

"How dare you!"

"What courage!"

The emperor is furious!

Daheng standardizes the market system, all in decimal system, one jiao is ten jiao, one yuan is ten jiao, and similarly, one catty is also ten taels.

Three liang less than one catty on the public scale means that if the common people want to hand over one hundred catties of grain, they will actually have to pay 130 catties of grain after passing through the public scale!

The agricultural tax of the imperial court has also increased by [-]% out of thin air after passing through the public scale!

This is just a village, if it is a county?A government?A province?Land of several provinces?Even the entire Daheng world?

What a huge number!

In the eighth year of Zhaowu, Daheng's relief food was only [-]% of Daheng's agricultural tax!

Thirty percent of Daheng's agricultural tax is enough to provide logistics for Daheng's million-strong army to go on expeditions for several years!

If this situation is widespread, does it mean that the people of Daheng have to bear more of the extra agricultural tax, and these so-called agricultural taxes consume the credibility of the court, and it is not the treasury that enters, but those corrupt officials? Official's belly!

If the emperor remembered correctly, Emperor Zhaowu should still be in power, right?

Emperor Zhaowu hasn't died yet, has he?

Under his rule, under his butcher's knife, is it like this?

What would it be like if he was gone?

"Li Ruolian!"

The Son of Heaven drank coldly, calling Li Ruolian by his name very rarely.

"The minister is here."

Li Ruolian responded immediately.

"check!"

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath, and although he only said one word, the murderous intent in it seemed to make everyone present tremble with fear.

The emperor is so angry that it seems that there are very few people since the establishment of Daheng.

But without exception, once the emperor is so furious, there will be countless heads rolling!

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Go yourself and investigate for me, no matter who it is!"

"Jin Yiwei supervises this matter for me, and no one is allowed to be missed by me!"
