People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 332 Wenzhou Magistrate: I’m on the verge of death repeatedly jumping around! !

After the Wenzhou prefect suddenly did this to Xu Ning and the others, the people in the Tax Inspection Department were stunned for a moment.

To be honest, this Wenzhou prefect has such a bad reputation.

They all thought he was an easy person to deal with.

As long as you catch him and chop off their heads like the two masters, no one will say anything else.

But I really didn't expect this guy to be so difficult to deal with.

All of a sudden, all responsibilities were thrown onto the entire Zhejiang Province.

The entire Zhejiang Province can now be said to account for half of the country in the southeast, and it is also an important tax base for the imperial court.

He probably calculated correctly that the imperial court would not operate on this tax-rich land in the southeast.

Especially after Chen Han carried out reforms, the business environment in the southeast became better and better. Commercial taxation became a major issue, and it was also an area that the entire court attached great importance to.

If the southeast is in chaos, it will be equivalent to defeating the purpose of Chen Han's reform. In that case, the accountability will be huge.

The magistrate of Wenzhou said in a neutral tone: "The lower officials don't dare. If the superior officers find trouble, they can chop off the lower officials' heads at will.

It was like killing those two masters, but after listening to what his concierge said, he suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

After hearing these words from the Wenzhou magistrate, Xu Ning sneered.

Once the business becomes more developed, even if Wenzhou Prefecture has no experience in growing mulberry and raising silkworms, it will definitely develop well with the support of such a large silk shop in the entire southeast.

He should also estimate that if half a million acres of rice are converted into mulberry trees, then he will be able to directly use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tax in the future.

Moreover, the entire southeastern region is now experiencing a commercial renaissance.

But after the pains of the first two years, people will soon discover that growing mulberry and raising silkworms is much more cost-effective than growing food.

"It seems that Lin Futai is very confident now. Do you think we won't dare to do anything to you if we can't find a handle on you?"

Now that I have changed the rice into mulberry, it seems that it is for myself alone.

But he knew that once this plan was broken, his own political performance would also be affected.

When the time comes, he will be able to explain himself to the court. If he wants to move up in the future, he can also rely on this political achievement to put a little gold on his face, so he will definitely come.

The Wenzhou magistrate was very worried at first because he also felt that the people in the Tax Inspection Department were difficult to deal with. They would definitely find all kinds of trouble and then kill themselves.

Furthermore, the concierge said that he would definitely ask the Chief Envoy, who was currently inspecting Wenzhou Prefecture, to come over as well.

Let them plant mulberry seedlings, destroying their source of livelihood to a certain extent.

Changing rice to mulberry has indeed harmed the interests of many people, who are not fully able to accept raising mulberry.

After thinking about this, he also felt that the plan he proposed to convert 500,000 acres of rice into mulberry was very reasonable, and he felt even more confident.

It did seem inappropriate, but he thought about it again, although the people would be greatly affected in the first two years.

The reason why the chief envoy was willing to get involved in his own matter, and even willing to offend the people of the Tax Inspection Department, was not because he favored him.

But Xiaguan was just very unconvinced. After all, as the Wenzhou government official, Xiaguan had not committed any real capital crime.

Even though someone in Xiaguan's family is doing business here, our family's business has always paid taxes according to the court's taxes, and has never been in arrears.

Furthermore, this government did not directly share profits from it. Even if it received a small subsidy from the family, it was well-documented and there was no excessive greed and excessive possession.

As for what the people said, I am not good at being a person or an official. It is the opinion of the people. If you are not good, you trust the words of the people and take down an official who is willing to do practical things for the court.

If the officials who are willing to implement the new laws introduced by Qian Guogong are captured, then the lower officials will have nothing to say. "

This statement of taking retreat as an opportunity to advance directly pushed Xu Ning and the people from the Tax Inspection Department to the opposite side of the new law.

This time, Xu Ning also felt deeply that this guy was really good at sophistry.

And what he said made sense. He did not directly violate the laws of the court.

However, after the people from the Tax Inspection Department inquired about the actions of the Wenzhou Prefect in recent years, they actually had a idea in their hearts.

The Wenzhou magistrate definitely paid taxes in accordance with the laws of the imperial court as he said.

Knowing that the imperial court's commercial tax, at least before Chen Han's reforms, was very low, so what did the little commercial tax paid count?

As for what he said himself, the little subsidy he received from his family was just a well-documented figure, which is even more nonsense.

Who knows how much of your gray industry comes from your family business.

Seeing the peaceful appearance of the Wenzhou magistrate, Xu Ning and the people in the Tax Inspection Department felt a little angry.

There were even a few people from the Tax Inspection Department who gritted their teeth.

For such a dirty official, they really want to take him down, then unscrew his head, and hang his head on the city gate building, so that the common people can see what corrupt officials are like. fate.

It's just that this guy seems to be confident, and I don't know what kind of support he has.

After Xu Ning saw the Wenzhou magistrate, suddenly so calm, he quickly understood that someone must have given him some advice to calm him down immediately.

Because when I came to Wenzhou Fuya just now, I shouted a few times so loudly.

If the Wenzhou prefect had been prepared long ago,

He shouldn't have come out so late. To confront him, he should have vowed to come out long ago.

Then he said something like this. The reason why he was so late and the time difference in between was because someone must have given him an idea.

Sure enough, Xu Ning was thinking about how to stabilize this guy.

What's behind him?

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside: "The Chief Envoy has arrived!!"

After hearing this shout, Xu Ning saw a relaxed expression on the face of Wenzhou Magistrate.

After seeing this expression, Xu Ning understood immediately.

It turns out that this guy has been delaying time just to wait for the arrival of the Chief Envoy.

It seems that there is indeed something to rely on.

Even he himself didn't know that the Chief Envoy would arrive at such a coincidence at this time.

And all these coincidences are by no means as simple as coincidences.

Therefore, Xu Ning was even more certain that this guy was confident because the chief envoy was here.

Although he had the right to kill the prefect, he could not directly kill the chief envoy. After all, his official rank was not as good as the chief envoy.

Furthermore, as the chief envoy is half a border minister, he cannot be allowed to be cut off like this...
