Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 579 Keep Singing Keep Dancing

Handling a case is all about evidence. No matter how powerful an official is, as long as there is no reason for self-interest, he will use sufficient evidence to decide the case.Take this as the criterion, so as to ensure the justice of the law, and not cause unnecessary troubles for yourself, benefit the country, benefit the people, and benefit yourself, everyone is happy!
Dou Kuan, who has rich experience in the local state capital, is making false claims while conducting secret investigations. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.Of course, the deeper the investigation, the more worried Du Dou Kuan will be, because Yongchang's military mansion is also unreliable. He was born as a civil servant and has never been in battle. I can't understand anything.

Gongsun Wuda is an old general of the Qin Palace and one of the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect. Although he is only a fourth-rank official, he is not a "lucky" third-rank official who can command him.Even if there is the prince's order, he may not be able to do his best. After all, whether it is successful or not, the credit will not fall on him.

But after meeting Li Chengqian in Yongchang City, even if the stone in his heart fell to the ground, the crown prince knows me, and with him around, everything is naturally not a problem.

With Dou Kuan's "acquiescence and connivance", Han Kui and other civil and military officials in Yongchang now celebrate the New Year every day, because they know in their hearts that for officials like them who are located in the frontier, as long as it is not loss of land and rebellion, the court will take care of everything else. The crime of "guarding the frontier is not easy" is reduced to one level, not to mention that they run Yongchang officialdom in the same way as Tietong.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, in addition to the taxes already set, the gold mines jointly exploited by the five ministries including Yongchang and Jinchi must also be handed over to the specified minimum amount. If we really follow this regulation, even if we take risks to mine a little more Well, everyone doesn't have much oil and water, so everyone who eats oily horses has used their brains.

But people's desires can never be satisfied, from more mining and retention, to extorting gold teeth and other ministries, from relying on the mutual market as the basis for obtaining cards, to secretly reselling strictly controlled materials such as salt and iron.

If you take too much and distribute too much, you can't stop your hand. If you stop your hand, people's hearts will also be scattered, and this "business" will not be able to sit still.So Han Kui and others, who were thinking hard, came up with the excuse of continuing the famine, artificially expanding the disaster, and then representing the court to intercept all the gold mines in a fair and honest manner.

Of course, it's not like they didn't have a way out for themselves, Wangbu had fed them long ago, and if the situation got out of control, they would use Wangbu as a springboard to flee to Pyu country.

Datang has always boasted that the heaven is the top country, and it is impossible to start a war because of a few corrupt officials.Isn't it money to come out to be an official? As long as you hold the money in your hand, they are all masters there, and it doesn't matter if the official is not right.

The idea is good, but it is not a long-term solution. In order to keep the water flowing, Han Kui and others made many attempts, but all of them failed.Now the imperial court sent this "reasonable" errand to ask for [-]% of the tax for them, and found a way out in the imperial court. How can such a happy event not make Yongchang's officials rejoice!
Yongchang City-Han Mansion, today Yongchang Mansion is where all the heads and brains gather to celebrate their victory. With the income from this gold mine and the advantages of remote location, it has become a place for them to operate. An independent small kingdom, where they can do whatever they want, they are more comfortable than gods.

The servants kept serving all kinds of dishes, and the dozen or so dancers in the middle danced with enthusiasm, while the officials sitting on the surrounding seats shouted loudly with wine glasses, making their The waist twisted faster, and the table was consumed at an extremely fast speed.

"Come on, colleagues, please be quiet for a moment, Mr. Han has something to say." After waving the dancing girls and waiters away, Han Kui stood up holding his wine glass and yelled loudly.Only then did the red-eyed officials calm down, and they turned their heads to look at their boss, their parents, Han Kui.

"Thirty percent of the tax has already been won. In order to win this livelihood from drought and flood, how much effort everyone has made, how much talk has been lost, and how much price has been paid. The heartache of this is not only ourselves, but also Who knows! Fortunately, Huang Tian paid off, we have finally earned this family business, come on, let's have a full drink and congratulate us on the success of our family business."

Under Han Kui's attention, all the officials blushed and drank the wine in their glasses very simply. Some of them even wiped their tears with their sleeves after drinking.

After drinking the wine celebrating the victory, Han Kui put down the wine glass in his hand and continued, "Yongchang's family fortune has been taken down, but we have to take a longer view. As long as our brothers can be twisted into one rope as before, we will be able to do so." There is nothing in the world that we can't do. Dudu Dou's line has been established, and with him in the court to take care of him, you naturally don't have to worry about your future career."

"He is an important official of the court and a close friend of the prince. It is not a big problem to find a few errands in Chang'an City. I have already planned a few people to work in the capital. When the time comes, we will take care of them. Our official party in Yongchang will be the whole big Tang officialdom is a tree that will never wither."

That's right, of course Han Kui would not be so foolish as to think that sending Dou Kuan some gold would make Yongchang "good weather". Now that this line has been connected, it is natural to make use of it. He sent two more boxes to Dou Kuan yesterday. Gold, for no other reason than to buy a few vacancies in the Ministry of Integrity from Dou Kuan.

The Ministry of Integrity and Government is not used for other yamen, which are controlled by the Eastern Palace Department, and Dou Kuan is the minister of his department. There was a sharp sword hanging above his head, so he didn't have to be afraid that he wouldn't open his eyes for himself, and he didn't have to be afraid that "those people" wouldn't help.

The more important thing is to stand up for the officials of the Yongchang line. After all, this place is not a place to stay for a long time. If you want to achieve great things and make your own line of officials a political party that can influence the political situation, you must go out.At this moment, Han Kui was full of self-confidence. If he could eat Dou Kuan himself, wouldn't he be able to eat others? Officials are all the same, and there are those who cannot be smashed by gold.

"That is, that is, with Big Brother Han here, our brother's life will only get better and better. What kind of Bird Shangshu is not a plaything in the palm of Big Brother!"

"That's right. Thinking about the hard times before, and looking at the present, the first half of my life was wasted. I didn't say anything, as long as Brother Han said a word, our brothers in the Yongchang Military Mansion will listen to you."

"In the past, we lived by looking at other people's faces. The gentlemen in Chang'an City treated their brothers as well as a dog. Now it's not good, and we can stand up and be human."
After listening to the officials' "rhetoric words" and full of complaints, Han Kui waved his hands with a smile, and called to the housekeeper: "Tell those dancers to keep singing and dancing, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk today!".
