Chapter 679 The Man Behind the Brothel, the City Lord's Mansion Meeting

Ding Yi turned around and said, "Sit down, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first! King Yan, you have played here before, so you know what's fun."

Regardless of the two of them, Ding Yi took Qi Jiu back to the study and asked, "What did you find?"

Qijiu took out a piece of information and passed it to Ding Yi.

This is a piece of information about brothels in Xincheng. There are twelve brothels in Xincheng. Damn! ! !Twelve seats!
And four of these brothels belong to the same person, and this person...is exactly that Chai Lingwu sitting in the dining room!
Seeing this, Ding thought for a moment that Chai Lingwu must be here today for the sake of the brothel.

It's just that the brothel has been open for such a long time, why did he come to him at this time to ask for safety?

I just discussed this matter with Du He yesterday, and the specific matters have just been arranged. Could it be that he has already received the news?

If this is true, then these departments in Xincheng would have been abolished!
He opened the four brothels, if so...

Damn, I get angry when I think about it, why didn't I think of this a long time ago... Bah, how can I do business with flesh and blood?
"Prepare the horse, the City Lord's Mansion!"

Now that they have been found, it is time to attack these brothels.Since the other party has received the message, they should do it immediately!

If he was a moment late and noticed something, he would definitely be prepared.

However, the Xincheng department also needs to investigate, and they must investigate together. Now that the brothel is investigated, those who took bribes will definitely feel guilty. This will be the best chance to find them all.

To investigate brothels, you must have a serious name. The laws of the Tang Dynasty have nothing about brothels, and brothels are legitimate businesses.

Now the first priority is to promulgate the law on brothels, and then you can check brothels.

Ignoring the two who were still waiting for him to go back, Ding Yi went directly to the city lord's mansion and recruited the ministers and deputy ministers of the twenty departments.

There are no major events in the City Lord's Mansion on weekdays, and the ministers of the various ministries will not come here on weekdays, but as long as the City Lord's Mansion has a meeting, there must be something big!

Everyone gathered together, the personnel department, the legal department, and the supervision department all knew what was going on today, but the other departments were not clear.

Ding Yi nodded to Du He and said, "Tell me about what was agreed yesterday!"

Du He nodded, stood up, looked at everyone, and said: "After being reminded by the city lord, I realized the lack of laws in the new city. The new city has always advocated that women work and provide a large amount of labor. But I didn't expect that there was one more thing that was missed. !"

"The brothel has been a romantic place since ancient times. Women make a living by accompanying men. Among them, most of the women are women from poor families, slaves, and criminals. It's just that these people can live without giving birth."

"Ministry of Industry and Commerce, are all brothels in Xincheng registered?"

The Minister of Industry and Commerce was selected by Ding Yi from other places after he relaxed the restrictions. This person's name is Lin Wei, and he was installed by Chang'an forces.Ding Yi didn't stop those forces when they put people in. He also wanted the emperor to know that everything in Xincheng was under control, but he didn't expect the nature of these people, no...it should be said to be inferior!
The salaries of officials in Xincheng are very high. Just a captain of the police department has two salaries per month and a flat.Xincheng Hospital also has discounts for medical treatment and so on.

This is enough to match the salary of a fifth-rank official in the Tang Dynasty, but the status is lower.

For these, the old people in Xincheng are very satisfied. Either they don't care about these, just like Du He and Yan Liben.

Or they are the children of poor families, from a commoner who followed Ding Yi to today, they either have business at home, own land, and are used to hardships, so they are satisfied with such good treatment.

As for whether he will change his mind in the future, there is no need to think about it now, because Xincheng will improve the status of the Ministry of Supervision and supervise all officials, striving to achieve a clean and peaceful officialdom.

Lin Wei shrank his eyes, got up and cupped his hands towards Ding Yi, and said, "Before this new city, there was no law that explicitly stated that brothels were also shops, so it was not registered at the beginning."

"So, they have never paid taxes?" Ding Yi interjected.

"This...of course not!" Lin Wei, who is over 40 years old, doesn't look old, but looks slick, like a standard corrupt official.

"Minister Lin Wei of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is ineffective in handling affairs, stealing and playing tricks. He has caused such a huge loss to Xincheng. Starting today, he will be suspended from his job and investigated!" Ding Yi directly convicted him without giving him a chance to quibble.

Hearing this decision, the people who came from behind looked at Ding Yi in shock. They didn't expect that the appointment and dismissal of officials could be so random, and it all depends on Ding Yi's mouth!

But seeing that the old people in the new city hadn't moved, they lowered their heads obediently.

"By the way, the brothel didn't pay taxes, so why didn't the tax department mention it? Didn't the tax department and the finance department notice such a huge financial loss?" These three departments are linked together, and no one can do without the other. .

The Minister of Taxation, Liu Qinghui, and Na Linwei are friends from the same hometown, and both of them were recruited.Seeing his friend's end, he felt a little bit embarrassed, but when he heard Ding Yi's words, he was startled, stood up with an ugly face, and replied: "City Lord, the tax department has always acted according to the registration list sent by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. , so... I didn't find anything wrong!"

"Very good, you won't leave without a whip!" Ding Yi was furious, and jumped up against the case.

"Officials in Xincheng have always done things on their own. The owner of the city just gave me a direction. All officials are going forward by themselves, but now...you really let me down!"

"The head of the taxation department has been suspended for investigation, and the head of the finance department has made a serious mistake!" Ding Yi was also a little disappointed with Lao Bai and asked him to be the head of the finance department, but now the coach is assimilated by these people, which is really disappointing!

"Oh. By the way, I forgot to tell you! The personnel department has already drawn up the punishment system for officials. Xiao Shun, show it to everyone!" Ding Yi pointed to Xiao Shun, Li Tai didn't come to the meeting today , I heard that the research rubber belt has reached the last minute.

"City Lord, do you still want to talk about the law?" Du He's face was full of depression, didn't you let me talk, why did you jump out of it while talking?He kept talking, and now he went to the personnel department again.

"Uh...you talk first!" Ding Yiyu choked, raised his hand and said shyly.

Du He pouted his neck and said, "Let Xiaoshun talk first! I'm afraid that if you talk about it later, who will you deal with?"

Everyone was shocked, it seems that today can't be good!
Suddenly, the Minister of Industry and Commerce shouted loudly: "City Master, there is only an omission in the lower officials, and this is a matter of Xincheng's laws, why should the lower officials be dealt with! Besides, the appointment and dismissal of officials in Xincheng must be decided by Chang'an! "

"Shut up, it's not time for you to speak!"
