Chapter 1612 Inspection
Above the Great Yan Court Hall.
After hearing the conditions given by the Demon Cult, the emperor unexpectedly did not get angry.
"Three years? Okay, I will tolerate him for three years." The emperor said lightly.
“It’s all because of my waiting for ten thousand deaths that Your Majesty suffered this humiliation.” A group of important ministers took off their official hats and knelt on the ground.
The king humiliates the minister and dies.
But at this time, everyone is just talking.
The emperor was jealous and did not trust his ministers; naturally, the ministers would not be loyal to the emperor. In fact, as a group, they had never been truly loyal to the emperor.
They are only loyal to money, land, and women...
Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. This is the common idea.
"Three years later, I will let these rebellious officials and traitors know that this is my world." After the emperor finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
The ministers shook their heads.
There are internal and external troubles, and now even the martial arts sects have risen in rebellion.
Want to run away?
Let’s take another look.
He surrendered as soon as the enemy came to the city, but now that he has escaped, the real estate and shops in the capital will definitely be gone, and no one can hold it if it is left to him.
The ministers had their own plans in mind.
After going to court, the emperor quickly fell asleep.
In the past, if he wanted to know where there was rebellion, he could only rely on the people below.
Either it was a tip from the minister or the commander-in-chief, or the factory guards were sent to investigate.
Now, he can go see and walk around for himself.
Suicongling is not too far from the capital and is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
This shows how courageous the Demon Cult is.
He turned into an eagle in the sky and flew south quickly - this is a popular technique in the Divine Network recently, there are always many smart heads.
No wonder Legalism wants to fool the people in order to control it.
More than an hour later, the eagle flew to Wuguan County.
The emperor went to the county government first.
He still subconsciously believed that the most important thing about whether a rebellion could become a climate was the performance of officials.
I saw the county government office, which was reviewing the case.
There were people around.
When he was a prince, he once went to see Shuntian Prefecture Yin's trial, but he was confused.
Big things and small things are all mixed up.
From that moment on, the seeds were planted for him that ministers could not be trusted.
"Inspector, this land belongs to our Mr. Wang's family. The title deed is clearly written with our Mr. Wang's honorable name." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler held a piece of land. The title deed said.
On the other side, there are two old men.
"But our second child came back after school and said that any land where the royal grain has been paid, it means that the land... that land belongs to your family, and you can go to the Yamen to apply for a new deed. Our family has paid the royal grain for three generations in a row. Ah, it’s still a one-out-of-twenty draw, and we all have witnesses who go to our village to collect taxes every year and give us a white note.” One of the old Chinese said incoherently.
"Well, that's the truth."
Above the lobby, three people were sitting, lined up on the left, middle and right. The speaker was a young man in the middle, wearing white clothes, looking like a young man. A knight is better than an official.
The emperor nodded slightly when he heard this.
When he was collecting taxes, he also discussed this issue with his chief minister.
The chief minister said that the tax increase will be for those who have land, but not for those without land.
Conversely, we can reason that whoever pays the tax on this land shows whose land it is. Because it is only added to the owner of the land.
This is a no-brainer.
Of course the emperor is not stupid now. He knows that apportionment is transferred, landlords hide their land, and officials work together to transfer tax burdens.
"The land deed is here, written in black and white, how can it be faked? It's still a red deed with a big seal used by the government. You can't deny the big seal of the previous government, right?" the housekeeper said confidently.
For more than half a year, they have figured out the origins of the Holy Army these days.
“Well, since the land is yours, why didn’t you pay taxes?” the young man asked.
"That was a matter of the previous dynasty. We will pay this year's taxes." The steward said a little distressed.
As soon as he said this, the onlookers immediately cursed.
“Shameless!”
"That's right, who doesn't know that the previous dynasty had heavy taxes and huge apportionments; now there are only regular taxes and no apportionments. Farming only requires one out of 20 per year, and nothing else."
"Yes. , Yes.”
The emperor’s heart sank when he heard this.
These people are really hateful. With a little kindness, they were bought over, and they kept saying that the Great Yan Court and the land of Longhan were the former dynasty.
Dayan is also called Longhan because he inherited the Han tradition.
"You guys are so cunning. Since we recognize the land of the former dynasty, we must take care of the affairs of the former dynasty. You can also say that this land is yours. The total of the former dynasty is one hundred and twenty All the royal rations for the year will be transferred to these two old men." The young man was stunned and said directly.
“Okay!”
Everyone cheered.
The emperor also nodded slightly.
This is the truth.
You have to refund so much tax that others paid for you.
"This, this..." The housekeeper was shocked.
The taxes for one hundred and twenty years, even without assessments, far exceed the value of these lands!
The housekeeper looked back at the crowd and saw a silk-like gentleman shaking his head at him.
"We don't want this land anymore!"
"Okay, our court has made the following judgment:..."
The emperor had mixed feelings after looking at it.
Everything is clear, upright and well-founded.
Do you think it’s difficult?
Not difficult at all.
The truth is laid out in broad daylight.
Sure enough, it’s all those damn ministers who don’t do their jobs seriously.
But why can the people of the Holy Army work seriously on this day?
Yes, they only have two counties, so they can supervise nearby without fear of cheating from below.
Just like what he did near the capital.
The beams left by our ancestors are all good, but there are too many borers. If the borers are removed, they will last forever.
An idea came into the emperor's mind.
But how to prevent moths from growing?
The Confucian scholars said that we should rely on education and morality, but except for a few honest officials, most of the Jinshi went there for the land.
Have they read too few books by sages?
Really.
The emperor hated Taoism. It seems that Confucianism cannot teach honest officials.
What school of thought should I use?
Legalism, the same goes for Legalism.
The world is as black as crows.
With this thought, he continued to look in Wuguan County.
Walking around for a while, I saw a few idle men drinking in a restaurant.
This is a dream restaurant. Some people have discovered that you can drink in dreams. You can try it now if you can't afford it at ordinary times.
Of course, I still save on eating. After all, if you eat in a dream, you will be hungrier when you wake up. It's not like drinking. What you want is to be energetic when drinking.
"Last time, the tax collector overcharged me by five cents. I have to sue him secretly."
"It's only five cents, forget it."
"How can I count? Report him." It’s true. I’ll pay you ten men and two days’ wages. All I have to do is cover my face and secretly send you a letter.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he will retaliate against you?”
“Afraid? What did he do? He beat me, and he will have to support me for the rest of his life. Everyone in the Tiansheng Army is supervising, and no one from the highest level to the lowest level will dare to cause trouble." The idle man said proudly.
"That's right."
Everyone is an eye, everyone is monitoring?
The emperor's heart moved, and then he became depressed.
He can't do this.
Because if he does this, people will send innate masters to kill him!
The royal masters have declined because they simply have no money and food.
Military pay has to be increased. Without money and food, how can we buy expensive medicinal materials and support the masters?
The food and clothing for a master is much more expensive than a few thousand elites.
The only few left by the late emperor to save their lives.
The Heavenly Holy Army is a demon sect themselves, has its own masters, and only has two counties, so it can suppress those officials.
But he couldn't do it anymore.
The emperor thought like this and walked around again.
