Farming and teaching across different worlds

After waiting for the news from others, it was confirmed that there was no business and taxation department and new policies, and my heart was much more at ease.

Although the merchant was indeed persecuted to death, he was coerced to death by the prefect of Liangzhou and the state envoy of the commercial and tax department.

It was the result of the collusion between these two local officials, corruption and breaking the law, not the crimes of the New Deal and the Commercial and Taxation Department. Even if someone with a heart contributed to the flames, but he believed that as long as the Ministry of Criminal Affairs continued to investigate, the Commercial and Taxation Department would be able to be cleared.

In this way, Ji Xiuran can be regarded as relaxed, and he is in the mood to pay attention to the progress of Taoist Qingyue.

During this period of time, with the information given by Ji Xiuran, Daoist Qingyue's progress went very smoothly.

It won't take long to think about new weapons that can be used on the battlefield.

But soon there was a new development in Liangzhou's affairs, and the commercial and taxation department was put on the cusp of the storm.

Just when the investigation of the matter came out and a turning point soon appeared, the wife of the previous merchant was killed at the gate of the Liangzhou Commercial and Taxation Department.

He threatened that the imperial court would protect the murderer, and that he would show his will with death, and hoped that God would give him justice.

In this way, all of a sudden, doubts about the Department of Commerce and Taxation and the New Deal reached a peak in various places, and more and more voices opposed it. The situation became more and more unfavorable for the Department of Commerce and Taxation and the New Deal.

Sitting behind the table, Ji Xiuran looked at the news with a gloomy expression, frowning tightly, contemplating.

This happened one after another, and every time there was a turning point, there was a new development, which pushed the commercial and tax department to the forefront again and again.

It was clear that there was a big hand pushing behind him, and when he saw the situation turning around, he made a move and pushed the commercial and tax department into dire straits again.

He looked at the piles, one by one, and analyzed the purpose of the person behind it in his heart.

From this series of events, it is not difficult to see that the person behind this is just trying to bite the commercial and tax department.

Judging by his unrelenting posture, it is clear that he wants to ruin the reputation of the Commercial and Taxation Department, and ultimately prevent the Commercial and Taxation Department and the New Deal from continuing to implement.

Even the court that wanted to stir up trouble was not at peace, causing turmoil in the court.

It can be said that the mind is vicious and has ulterior motives.

Ji Xiuran looked at the official documents on the table, tapped the table with his fingers unconsciously, and carefully thought about the countermeasures.

He believed that those who dared to challenge the majesty of the emperor would definitely not end well.

But it is easy to deal with these people, but it is not so simple to quell this turmoil.

Now there are voices of disapproval from all over the country. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to deal a heavy blow to the new policy and the Department of Commerce and Taxation.

Both the Department of Commerce and Taxation and the New Deal have just emerged, and they simply cannot withstand such an impact.

This is his painstaking effort, and he naturally does not want the Department of Commerce and Taxation and the New Deal to be destroyed in his hands.

He had to think carefully about how to deal with it.

Ji Xiuran looked at the official document in front of him, his expression fluctuating.

Finally, thinking about the things I have been busy with during this period, I thought about it again, weighed it in my heart, and then my expression became firm.

Although there are many ways to solve this problem, there is only one that is the most effective and the least costly.

That is to find someone who has enough weight to bear the impact of this time for the Department of Commerce and Taxation and the New Deal.

And he, the person in charge, is the most suitable candidate. If he takes the initiative to stand up, he can block the mouths of many people and dissipate the negative public opinion against the Commercial and Taxation Department and the New Deal.

After making up his mind, he stopped hesitating, got up and packed the official documents on his desk, and walked out firmly.

He went to visit Gongsun Zizhan first, and then went to the palace with Gongsun to meet the emperor, had a secret talk in the imperial study, and then left with a relaxed expression.

After Ji Xiuran left the imperial study room, Gongsun Zizhan withdrew his gaze reluctantly, turned his head to look at Yu Mi who was sitting behind the desk, and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"

After hearing his question, Yu Mi raised her head and gave him a displeased look, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

Seeing that he was so angry, Gongsun also understood that although he agreed to Ji Xiuran's request, he still felt aggrieved, so he paused, then swallowed the words in his mouth silently, and didn't ask any more questions.

He just sighed regretfully in his heart, then saluted and said goodbye.

When it was time for the Great Court Meeting, when the reports of the various ministries were completed, someone stepped forward and knelt down to join in the performance: "The Liangzhou Commercial and Taxation Department's neglect of human life has already been concluded. The Liangzhou Commercial and Taxation Department is collecting taxes and fees." At that time, he forced merchant Jia Ren to hang himself to death, the evidence is conclusive, I implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the position of the commercial and tax department, and reconsider the new policy."

After this person's words fell, another person came out and asked: "My minister seconded the proposal, please the emperor carefully consider the necessity of the implementation of the new policy."

Then two more people came out to second.

Sure enough, as Ji Xiuran expected, these people really couldn't hold their breath, and they couldn't help but stand up at this grand meeting, and they all wanted to make a fuss about this matter, and played the impeachment of the Commercial and Taxation Department and the New Deal.

Yu Mi, who was sitting in the upper seat, looked at these people coldly, and listened to their performance with a cold face, without saying a word.

After these people finished speaking, the others looked at each other, but they didn't make a sound.

After waiting for a while, Ji Xiuran saw that no one came out again, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the queue, knelt down on the ground, and opened his mouth to argue: "I think this matter was all done by Wu Qian, the envoy of the Commercial and Taxation Department of Liangzhou. During Wu Qian's tenure as the state envoy of the Commercial and Taxation Department, he colluded with the governor of Liangzhou, corrupted the law, extorted money by force, and disregarded human life, please the emperor to investigate clearly."

After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground, maintained his bowed posture, and continued: "Chen Ji Jun, as the proponent of the New Deal and the founder of the Commercial and Taxation Department, was not rigorous enough when examining appointments. As a result, such a catastrophe has been caused. I admit that I cannot escape responsibility, but human crimes do not harm the system. Wu Qian’s guilt cannot be attributed to the Commercial Taxation Department and Xinzheng. I also want to know all the adults. If the adults really want to I insist on finding someone to come out and take charge..."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his body, glanced coldly at the crowd, raised his hand and slowly took off his official hat, put it on the ground, bowed his head again and said: "The sinful minister Ji Jun, I beg the emperor to forgive me. Wu Qian was recruited by the criminal minister, but the criminal minister did not know the person clearly, so he is not worthy of this great responsibility, so he resigned this time, please the emperor find someone else wise."

Yu Xian remained silent from the beginning to the end, and looked coldly at the people below. Hearing Ji Xiuran's plea, his breath became even colder, but he just looked at everyone with a cold face, and did not make a sound.

When everyone heard Ji Xiuran's words, they were stunned without reacting, and the hall was completely silent for a while.

After a while, Yu Mi finally spoke slowly, with a voice that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "In this case, I will grant your request, remove all positions, and contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors."

It clearly showed the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and glanced coldly at everyone, and continued: "For the time being, Mr. Gongsun will be in charge of business and tax matters. In addition, an order will be issued to detain the people involved in the case in Liangzhou and bring them to Beijing for trial. Shuo Wang's family will also be detained together." Go to Beijing."

He had already found out who was behind the incident in Liangzhou.

Originally, in the past few days, an order was to be issued to arrest and bring him to justice, but unexpectedly, this mistake happened again.

He was caught off guard, and suddenly became passive. In the end, he had to sacrifice a capable officer to calm the matter, and he was naturally depressed.

The nine princes of the previous emperor, except for the seven princes who died young, and the four princes who were punished early, the remaining ones, King Min and the Nine Princes were dealt with due to the palace change, and the five and six princes were involved with King Min But being convicted, the eight kings were also punished for defecting to the nine kings.

Only the second king Shuo Wang, because he looked down on the brothers, was alone in the faction, and did not get involved in the palace change. He was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. .

And his fief happened to be Liangzhou.

Originally, part of the tax revenue in this fief had to be handed over to the palace, and the implementation of this new policy did not have any conflict of interest for King Shuo.

But I don't know who this King Shuo was instigated by someone with ulterior motives, and he even gave birth to the greedy heart of monopolizing Liangzhou's tax revenue.

Moreover, he also persuaded Liangzhou's magistrate to collude with the state envoy of the Commercial and Taxation Department, and made a violent expropriation.

After the incident broke out that the merchants in Liangzhou were overwhelmed and hanged themselves to death, they were afraid that the emperor would blame them.

Then he came up with a series of crooked ideas, and even colluded with people in the court, trying to pour dirty water on the Commercial and Taxation Department and Xinzheng.

Thinking of this, Yu Mi narrowed her eyes dangerously. He knew that good second brother very well. This kind of premeditated and intelligent countermeasure was definitely not something his stupid second brother could think of.

He also has some clues about the person behind the plan, so naturally it won't make him feel better.

It would be a good thing for him to take advantage of this incident to wipe out all these restless people.

But when he swept Ji Xiuran, who was kneeling on the ground in the hall and took off his official hat, his heart felt a little uncomfortable again.

It could have been solved more perfectly, but it was all the fault of these people, who kept making mistakes one by one, and finally had to let such a capable talent go, causing him to lose a general.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth viciously, revealing a ferocious smile.

He will not let off any of these people who dare to provoke him, and will not make them feel better.

He vented viciously in his heart, then thought about the thing Ji Xiuran took out, and then he calmed down.

Chapter 186

Yu Xian sat on the throne and glanced coldly at everyone before saying, "Retire."

Everyone knelt down to send the emperor off one after another, and only got up from the ground when the emperor left.

At this time, everyone turned their heads to look at the accident just now.
