Great Wei scholar

So this trick directly blocked these fan merchants from playing tricks.

Good means, good means, good means.

And this method can be promoted throughout the country. After all, there are many businessmen in Wei Dynasty who will play tricks like this. But if they cooperate with the strict laws of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they will file a case if they have a receipt, and they will not file a case without a receipt.

But if you have a receipt, you don’t dare to be too presumptuous. It is impossible to completely eliminate it, but with partial prevention, the treasury can increase another wave of income.

This Xu Qingxiao is really a great talent in the household department, and I, Gu, have a good vision.

Gu Yan was a little emotional.

At this moment, the fan merchants kneeling on the ground were a little silent. They didn't panic when they heard about the tax collection. After all, tax collection can be tricky, but now they have to keep the receipts and do the accounting for the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This is very troublesome, coupled with the hatred of the people, I am afraid that even if they ask them not to issue receipts by reducing the price at that time, they probably will not agree.

Sensing Fan Shang's hesitation, Xu Qingxiao was also calm.

Slowly spit out a word.

"cut!"

Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth softly. He didn't have any respect for these fan merchants, so he said a word.

In an instant, the four of them were directly arrested, and without further ado, four heads fell to the ground.

In an instant, Fanbang screamed ghostly.

"Master Xu, Master Xu, we promise, we promise."

"Master Xu, we just thought about it just now, and we don't have any other thoughts at all. We agree."

"Master Xu, don't make a mistake, I have no other intentions at all, just think a little more."

Fan merchants cried loudly, they really didn't know what to say, did Xu Qingxiao become addicted to killing them?

But in the face of Fan Shang's begging for mercy, Xu Qingxiao didn't even look at it. He gave them a chance just now, but he still dared to hesitate?

Do you really think you are a paper tiger?

A quarter of an hour later.

Another dozen heads fell to the ground. Xu Qingxiao took a sip of tea, and then looked at the group of merchants. They were already kowtowing frantically on the ground. Their foreheads were bleeding and they were crying frantically, begging Xu Qingxiao to spare their lives.

They really regretted it, why did they hesitate just now, if they didn't hesitate, everything would be fine.

"Master Xu, we really know we were wrong."

Fan merchants cried and begged for mercy, they were really scared, they were scared of being killed by Xu Qingxiao.

"All right."

Xu Qingxiao waved his hand, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment also stopped.

"I will give you one last chance."

"After the signature painting is postponed, the tax will be paid within one day, and whatever will happen in the future."

"If you don't sign and draw a pledge, your head will fall to the ground."

Xu Qingxiao said calmly.

Following the sound of this voice, this group of fan merchants no longer dared to be presumptuous, and began to sign and pledge one by one.

Silver is important, but fate is the most important thing.

Xu Qingxiao didn't speak, and it took a full hour for the whole signing and marking.

However, the first batch of fan merchants who signed were all relatively large fan merchants, and the remaining ordinary fan merchants were all detained in the Yamen. It would take a day to sign and detain all of them.

Let the people below do this.

"Everyone, this is the end of the troubles of Fanshang. I hope that you will continue to supervise me. The prosperity of the capital depends on the common people. If you have any grievances in the future, please come to the Ministry of Punishment."

Xu Qingxiao bowed to all the people again.

Immediately afterwards, he walked to the inner hall of the Ministry of Punishment, and the three ministers also got up, bowed to the people, and followed.

The matter of Fanshang is over here. As for the next thing, that is the next thing.

No one can guarantee that these fan merchants will regret it afterwards, but what should be done has already been done, and it is impossible to really kill them all, otherwise there will be big troubles.

Soon, in the inner hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Zhang Jing sat in the first seat, Minister of the Household Department Gu Yan sat on the left, Minister of the Ministry of War sat on the right, and Xu Qingxiao moved a stool to sit down by himself, and he was not polite.

"Shouren, although you have succeeded in establishing your prestige today, you are still a bit radical. I am afraid that these fan merchants are related to many vassal kings, and there are also many forces in the capital who are related to them. Although they are convinced, but later I'm afraid these people won't be convinced."

Zhang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, spoke immediately. Without any thought, he directly pointed out what Xu Qingxiao did wrong.

"Shouren, it's not me who said you. You killed too many people today, more than 400 people. King Zhenxi is right. It will really lead to war. Now Da Wei can't fight a war. , I wanted to persuade you, but after thinking about it, you wanted to show your power at that time, if I wait to dissuade you, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, alas."

Gu Yan, Minister of the Household Department, also spoke, feeling a little helpless.

However, Zhou Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was different, he said softly.

"You guys are too cowardly. It's good to kill these fan merchants. I think it's pretty good. Qingxiao, you did the right thing. If you want to kill, kill it. If you really want to fight, then fight. I'm really afraid of a group of small Alien country?"

Zhou Yan sneered.

He didn't feel that Xu Qingxiao had done anything wrong, but felt that Xu Qingxiao had done a good job and killed rightly, quite rightly.

"Zhang Shangshu, Gu Shangshu, Zhou Shangshu, I already have a comprehensive plan for today's affairs. It is inconvenient to talk about many things directly, but the elimination of Fanshang is definitely beneficial to Wei and the present."

"Now that the matter has been resolved, Gu Shangshu is troublesome to send someone to check the accounts, Zhang Shangshu is troublesome to supervise and pay taxes, and Zhou Shangshu must be vigilant. The Qilin Army and the Shenji Battalion are guarding around the capital recently, and no fan merchants will be allowed to escape. out."

"Furthermore, Gu Shangshu, regarding the taxation of Fanshang, we must prepare a memorial, so that His Majesty will issue a decree to unify the country, including the theory of receipts, so that the whole country can follow suit."

Now that the matter is settled, Xu Qingxiao doesn't want to say anything more here.

Xu Qingxiao understands what Gu Yan said, but everyone has their own ideas, and Xu Qingxiao has his own reasons for daring to do this, so there is no need to argue about it.

Hearing Xu Qingxiao's words, the three ministers nodded, and had nothing to say.

"Then the official will resign first, and the final tax amount will be directly handed over to me by Gu Shangshu, and it must not be passed through the hands of others. Please bother me."

Xu Qingxiao stood up and said goodbye. After the work was done, he was going back. There was no point in staying here.

"it is good."

Gu Yan nodded, everything has happened now, and there is nothing to say, it's better to leave it like this first, as for the later things, let's talk about it later, I can't think of any solution for the time being.

"Nephew Shouren, let's go together, I'm going back too."

Zhou Yan also got up and left with Xu Qingxiao.

Soon Xu Qingxiao and Zhou Yan left here.

Right now, in the inner hall, there are only two Shangshu left, Zhang Jing and Gu Yan.

After Zhou Yan and Xu Qingxiao left, Gu Yan's voice sounded.

"Ugh."

"Shouren has a great talent, a great talent in the household department. It's a pity that although he has a great talent, he is too radical. He killed at least 450 people. As long as today is over, there will be a mountain of memorials tomorrow. Come up."

"In a few months, it will be His Majesty's birthday. In the first year of the new dynasty, envoys from all nations will come. At that time, they will definitely use this matter to impeach Shouren. Ren is more or less to blame."

Gu Yan spoke, he admired Xu Qingxiao's great talent, but he was still a little dissatisfied with what Xu Qingxiao did today.

It's not that Xu Qingxiao can't kill people in a prestige, but that Xu Qingxiao has killed too much, there is no need to do this.

Following Gu Yan's opening, Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh.

"Shouren has a great talent, the great talent of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he kills people, mobilizes public opinion, and solves the disaster of Fanshang, but it really doesn't need to be so radical, and it doesn't make much sense to pay [-]% of the tax. Be realistic."

"And what you are worried about is the impeachment of the envoy of all nations, but what the old man is worried about is another disaster of war."

"If this is really a disaster of war, Mr. Gu, the old man would like to ask, we Da Wei, can we fight or not?"

Zhang Jing was also a little curious, he didn't know if there was a real war, he would be able to afford it but not be able to fight it.

"Difficult."

Gu Yan sighed and shook his head, you think you can afford it?You can afford it, you say you can't afford it?I can't afford it either.

Anyway, it is very difficult and troublesome.

"Oh, forget it, forget it, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to complain about, anyway, there is Shouren here, at worst, it will be a little troublesome, I will have a good talk with His Majesty later, Shouren has to continue working in the Ministry of Punishment, old man There are quite a few cases at hand, and I need Shouren's help."

Zhang Jing shook his head, it doesn't matter anymore, he doesn't care about this and that, the water will cover him, and the soldiers will block it.

But when he said this, Gu Yan frowned a little.

"Continue to work in the Ministry of Punishment? Zhang Shangshu, what do you mean by that? Your Majesty has already said that Shouren will come to my household department as a servant. How can he have time to go to your Ministry of Punishment? Now that the Great Wei is waiting for prosperity, don't you Come to make trouble."

Gu Yan said.

"Add to the chaos? Gu Shangshu, it's a fact that the Great Wei Dynasty is waiting to be revived, but the Ministry of Punishment also has a lot of things to deal with. Besides, His Majesty asked Shouren to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he didn't say that he couldn't come to the Ministry of Punishment? And Shouren was also in the Ministry of Punishment from the beginning. Didn’t you not want Shouren to go to your household department? Did you say he didn’t have the talent for the household department?”

"Oh? Now that you see Shou-jen's great talent, do you immediately change your attitude?"

Zhang Jing was a little annoyed.

"What do you mean by seeing Shou-jen's great talent? The old man has always said that Shou-jen has the talent of the household department. When did I say that Shou-ren did not have the talent of the household department? You are slandering and slandering."

"In short, His Majesty gave Shouren to my household department, that is, my household department."

Gu Yan is getting angry, he already understands whether Xu Qingxiao has the talent of the household department.

If this kind of great talent comes to the Ministry of Accounting, among other things, at least it will allow the Ministry of Accounting to collect an unknown amount of silver taels every year, and the pressure on the Ministry of Accounting may be reduced by then, and it is also a big thing for Dawei. good thing.

Why are you going to the Ministry of Justice?Judgment?Just for some cases, wasting this great talent?

"Gu Shangshu, this old man respects you and calls you Shangshu. If you talk like this, then this old man won't give you face."

"Shouren is a member of our Ministry of Criminal Justice. Your Majesty's words are useless. If you want to snatch Shouren away, today, today! Do you believe that I will beat you today?"

Zhang Jing's temper also came, who is he?Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Originally, His Majesty asked Xu Qingxiao to go to the Ministry of Households to help out. After all, Xu Qingxiao came out of his Ministry of Punishment, and his resignation from the post of chief was nothing more than an explanation to the vassal.

Otherwise, Xu Qingxiao must have stayed in the Ministry of Punishment.

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Gu Yan didn't talk nonsense, he just got up and left, ignoring Zhang Jing at all.

"Ah."

Zhang Jing sneered, and didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Yan, anyway, he decided that Xu Qingxiao was from his criminal department, and Gu Yan, an old clapper, wanted to rob him?Do your Spring and Autumn Dreams.

The two ministers left cursing.

At this time, the capital was still extremely lively, and the common people did not gather outside the Ministry of Justice, but gathered in various shops.

Watching the Jing soldiers enter, one after another, boxes full of silver were brought out, and then various treasures were brought out.

What white jade and coral, what celebrity calligraphy and painting, and some antiques and rare treasures, a dazzling array of treasures were brought out, causing the people to exclaim.

The entire household department is completely busy taking off, accounting, accounting, counting, and evaluation evaluation.

Not only that, other fan merchants have also begun to pay taxes in various ways.

They didn't dare to be a little tricky about the tax payment process, and took the initiative to take out the account book, and then calculated it at [-]%.

Although it is said that [-]% is paid every year, and a total of three years of tax payment is required, at least they have not been completely injured. Compared with those whose heads were beheaded and their homes ransacked, they are extremely happy.

It is equivalent to taking out one-fifth of the family property to buy a safe.

All in all, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty was extremely busy that day. In the end, many soldiers from the capital entered the household department and began to count the silver and taels of money. The entire household department was already full of rare treasures, silver and gold.

Even the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials were all filled.

Seeing these mountains of gold, silver and jewels, all the officials clicked their tongues. They knew that the group of foreign merchants made money, but when boxes of silver piled up in front of them, they really didn't know what to say.

There is a gap between people.

Finally, after a busy day, it's not time for the next day.

All the numbers have been counted thoroughly.

A thick stack of ledgers was immediately delivered to Xu Qingxiao.

Shouren School.

Xu Qingxiao took the ledger, and he opened it slowly, but he was a little surprised on the first page, and the more he turned to the back, the more surprised Xu Qingxiao's eyes became.

Until the end, when Xu Qingxiao saw the total, he stopped talking completely.
