The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 391 Deformity (1)
As soon as the crown prince returned to the East Palace, the first thing he did was to appease the crown princess. After appeasing the crown princess, the prince hurried to the crown princess's natal house, and then appeased the crown princess's own father, the second assistant Ren Youming, so that he could not attack He Rong.

What the prince didn't expect was that he was so anxious to appease the princess, but he stimulated Concubine He.This time Concubine He also went to the Qionglin Banquet, and witnessed the process of the crown princess' confession. The emperor thought she was not qualified to be the crown princess, and asked the prince to hand over Shirong to himself.

This shows that the emperor has his eyes on him. If the crown princess is not blocking him, the position of crown princess should be his own. I am no worse than Ren Linlin. She has a cabinet father, and I have one too. Difference.

Only she gave birth to a daughter, and she gave birth to a son, but now the son she gave birth to belongs to her, doesn't she count as having a son?As long as he firmly grasps the opportunity, this time is when Ren Linlin capsizes.

When the prince realized what Concubine He was planning, he was very angry and slapped her hard: "Bitch! If you dare to think anything, I can kill you right now! With the permission of the palace, you are not allowed to step out of this palace."

After the prince vented, he suddenly thought about it, he had to warn He Rong, don't be confused, this palace will not be good, and those who follow him will not be good either.

After the Qionglin Banquet, Xu Yin and others entered the Imperial Academy, where they were interns in political affairs for three years. By the way, they served as the prince's attendant, edited the grand ceremonies, etc. Cheng Kun came out from here, formally took up his post, and took the official examination. Gongsi Langzhong, part-time thirteen supervisory censors.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, so the emperor will naturally put Cheng Kun in the Ministry of Officials for gold plating. When the time comes, Cheng Kun will naturally become the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The thirteen supervisory censors, although only seventh-rank, can picket hundreds of officials, and can also patrol on behalf of the emperor, and often serve as imperial envoys temporarily.Once appointed as an imperial envoy, even a second-rank frontier official must be controlled when he arrives at the locality. He can represent the emperor when necessary.

Xie Wenjing's father and third uncle were finally sent out, and each of them became the magistrate of a place.Xie Chengyu served as the magistrate of Shaoxing, and Xie Chengjin served as the magistrate of Jiaxing. The distance between the two places is not too far, and it was the emperor's intention to give the two brothers a mutual support.

There are many merchants in these two places, and it is also the hometown of rice. The emperor arranged the two people here, and hoped that they could manage the two rich places for Dazhou and increase taxes for Dazhou.

Although these two places are rich, the taxes paid are extremely low. The key is that most of the land in these two places is official land, which is controlled by the local gentry, and there are very few private lands.

The tax on official land is extremely low, even as low as one tenth, and some official lands are not even taxed. As for private land, although the tax is three tenths, the number of private lands is far less than that of official lands.

The local people who have no land can live by renting and planting official land and working for merchants. The gentry and merchants in these two places can be said to have a lot of money, but the taxes they pay are extremely low.

Jia merchants' taxes are also set at one out of ten, which is as low as that of official land, and the reason is that they do not compete with the people for profit.Besides, the Confucians of the Great Zhou Dynasty were ashamed to discuss business, and in the end the business tax was so much lower than that of Mintian.

Later, when the emperors of the Great Zhou came to their senses, they couldn't compete with the Confucian officials who were all over the court. They stood at the commanding heights of Confucianism and morality, moved out the precepts of the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then came up with the slogan of not competing with the people for profit. The emperor was forced to retreat, and the commercial tax of ten draws could no longer be shaken.

Speaking of these Confucian officials, the morals are all over the sky, and there are really few who are really noble. Who doesn't have official land, who doesn't do business, otherwise how many people can support a family according to the salary set by the ancestor emperor?

If it really depended on salary, no family would dare to take concubines, and no family would be able to carry a few sets of dowries for their daughters, let alone having servants and maidservants waiting in groups, maybe they would not even be able to afford a carriage to go out.

Who knows this, but everyone pretends to be confused. Otherwise, how dare they annex the land openly, how can they indulge their family members in business openly?Otherwise, who can rely on salary to support a family?

A poor first-rank official like Liu Yunchao who can't even afford his daughter's dowry is purely because his head is flooded, and he can't live a good life. He brought his family to eat pickles and spent so many years of studying in vain!
It has been said in the book long ago that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book!
But even if you are a noble person, you can't do anything to the courtiers in the whole world. How about the late emperor who was cruel to deal with corrupt officials?As a result, although dozens of ministers died, the factory guard who captured the ministers killed the most.

So many ministers refused to admit to corruption even if they were beaten to death by factory guards. Being beaten to death was just a matter of one person. He died at the hands of factory guards, but he was still admired by Confucian scholars all over the world. live.

Deformed Confucianism and Taoism!While fish and meat villagers, while singing the classics of Confucius and Mencius.It can still be admired by future generations. When the emperor had no money, he really wanted to serve these ministers who ate fish and enjoyed a fine life in one pot.

It's a pity that all ministers in the world are like this. The emperor knows it very well. It is impossible to find a non-greedy official among the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. An honest official like Liu Yunchao belongs to the national treasure level.Only this one.

The emperor thought about the salaries of officials, and wanted to increase the salaries to resist corruption, but the emperor was even more worried. If the salaries were raised, but the corruption remained the same, why should the salaries be raised?

Thinking about it, the emperor still wanted to settle for the next best thing. As long as the local taxes can be raised, the people of Dazhou can live and work in peace and contentment, and the ministers can only turn a blind eye to the waste.Who let his ancestors set the salary so low?
In order to win over scholars, the ancestor, the first emperor, not only provided free salary to every successful candidate, encouraged them to concentrate on studying, but also turned the land under the candidate's name into official land, not to mention how much tax was exempted from the candidate, but also stimulated After being elected, the first thing to do is not to be busy studying and take the national exam, but to be busy accepting the entrustment of the folks to the Mintian under his name.

If things go on like this, how many Mintians will there be?How much tax can Dazhou collect?What's even worse is that the income of the merchants is extremely rich, but it is because behind the merchants, they are actually scholars, so it is no wonder that the taxes of the merchants can be higher!
The entire court affairs were handled by scholars, and even though the emperor knew it well, he couldn't attack the entire group of scholars indiscriminately.

"Both of you, go to Jiaxing, Shaoxing. When the common people live in peace, try to increase the taxes paid by the two places. For those who deliberately evade taxes, just investigate and arrest them. If something happens, I will take care of it! I believe that you will not be caught by the two places. The local gentry and businessmen are dragged into the water."

The emperor is not only very clear about the dispositions of the two of them, but also knows that even though the two of them are extremely rich, they will not be dragged into trouble as soon as poor scholars.

Besides, Xie Wenjing, the daughter-in-law, understands the overall situation very well, and she will definitely not let her father and third uncle get involved in corruption.
