The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

When the courtiers heard the old matter being brought up again, their first reaction was to look at the throne.

To put it simply, everyone present is an expert at playing tricks of power.

What does it mean to pull a hair and move the whole body, what does it mean to know the elegant meaning after listening to a string song, what does Xiangzhuang dance with the sword and the intention is Peigong... In an instant, the group of ministers in the hall who did not know what brainstorming was started silently performing a brainstorming .

It’s no wonder that they like to think too much. After all, the right deputy censor of the capital who has just returned from the governor-general’s first speech after returning to the court involves taxation. It is difficult for these ministers who like to think too much to think too much:

"Yo? This guy who is obviously the emperor's confidant, what does he mean when he mentions Wuzhou sea rent now? Is this his own initiative, or is he being instructed by someone?"

"Eh? This guy keeps talking about Wuzhou. Is he really just discussing the matter, or is he planning to point his sword at someone else? Could it be that someone wants to reform the tax system again?"

"Hey! Although the Wuzhou Sea Lease incident is small, it is indeed a microcosm of the problems in the current tax system. It seems that our emperor is planning to sort out the taxation of numerous projects and integrate and streamline it."

"Tsk! I wonder if Han Kezheng is inspecting the sixteen southern states this time. Which aristocratic families will jump out and offend him and the emperor... Or some desperate family will quietly annex the fields and occupy the imperial assets!"

"..."

The courtiers who pretended to be dignified on the outside were extremely active in their hearts.

Among them, the ministers who believed that their own interests were involved each exerted their abilities and actively calculated, wishing to mobilize their sixteen-way thinking to optimize and protect their own best interests;

And those who think they have nothing to do with themselves have become squid in the fields, waiting to eat melons.

Well, Sheng Yuan is one of the latter.

Ahem, no, she’s not just trying to take advantage of things. After all, the tax system needs to be reformed, which requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Household Affairs! Then it was natural for her, the right minister of household affairs, to be concerned when she heard this. Well, it was very legitimate!

Here she was eating melon as a matter of course... ahem, and listening as a matter of course; over there, as soon as Han Kezheng finished speaking, someone raised objections. The person who spoke was none other than his colleague in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zuo Deputy Capital Censor, Yipang.

Originally, according to the rules of the Chu Dynasty, three people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were on duty to go to court every day, namely the Du Censor, the Deputy Censor and the Qian Du Censor.

Since these three positions are divided according to left and right, with a total of six people, it is rare for two people with the same position to meet in the court.

In other words, if all the imperial censors on the left and right had not asked for leave today, and Han Kezheng was about to return to court, and the left deputy censor Yipang, who also served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wanted to argue with him face to face in court, then It's not easy.

"I think that Han Da Ren does not need to complain about Wuzhou. Wuzhou has paid taxes alone for more than 400 years. Therefore, in terms of waterway management rights, it ranks first among the four states of Han, Kuo, He, and Lu.

I would like to ask, since all five states are adjacent to the sea, why do they benefit the most? All because it is beneficial to pay taxes!

For four hundred years, various places in Wuzhou have long been accustomed to it. How can the distribution of interests and the relationships between them be easily discerned by outsiders? !

Not to mention, Wuzhou's sole responsibility for sea leases involves many things, including the right to speak about shipping, as well as the interests of relevant personnel and people everywhere.

If this matter is revisited and the sea rent is allocated to the other four states in proportion, then the subsequent redistribution will probably be many and complicated! "

"Master Yi, what you said is wrong! Just because your surname is Yi, you can't just follow what others say in everything!"

Han Kezheng didn't expect this guy to pop up again. He originally thought that this energetic colleague would be able to live in peace after defeating Sheng Wenzhen, but he didn't expect that before he could cooperate with the emperor, this guy came back to life again. Defeat and fight again.
