Of course, it is impossible to check the emperor's taxes, even if you can't ask......

And the city tax paid by the Republic Bank is also a lot, last year it paid 75,000 yuan, this year it must be more, more than 100,000 yuan is certain - the 420 houses sold by Wanjiaxing alone have to pay at least tens of thousands of dollars! Full Kaifeng Mansion, oh, it should be among the commercial banks in the world, the most tax payment is not good is this republican bank, even if the city tax can find out what problems, Song Huizong has something to say if he wants to protect himself.

People pay more than 100,000 yuan in taxes in Kaifeng Mansion alone a year, and the amount of tax paid is already the first in the world! And also raised a million yuan for the official family by selling land. Isn't the contribution big enough? You Lu Jia is still not satisfied, do you want to expropriate and extort?

"Father, we can't pick the wrong one in the commercial tax paid by the Republic......

After seeing the city tax official leave, Lu Benzhi frowned and asked Lu Jia: "They have paid so much tax in a year, even if there are some mistakes, it is not convenient to chase after them." ”

Lu Jiawen frowned, Wu Haogu was very different from the businessman he fought when he was in Kaifeng Prefecture and the city.

First of all, the backstage of the family is particularly hard, and he is the henchman of today's official family!

Secondly, the taxes paid by the Republic Bank and the money that the official family got are really a lot - the Republic Bank and Wu Hao Gu are gone, so who can the official family ask for money? If there was a businessman who could earn one million or hundreds of thousands of yuan a year for Emperor Shenzong during the Xining New Deal, Wang Anshi would not dare to beat others as tigers.

Moreover, Wu Haogu's deeds are all digging money from the pockets of the rich, and the rich people who have made money by him are still happy.

This is not the same as some unscrupulous profiteers hoarding Juqi's people's biological resources and harming the people of Li - even the real estate in Kaifeng Mansion is not something that ordinary people can afford, and Wuhaogu's Wanjiaxing did not hoard Juqi and speculate on real estate, and they were building "affordable housing" for officials and forbidden officers and soldiers.

Lu Jia asked and snorted coldly: "But the tax still has to be checked!" And...... The level case is also going to be dispatched! ”

"Leveling the case?" Lu Benzhi frowned, "Daddy, is he going to use the Pingzhun case to investigate Christie's and Oiran?" ”

Lu Jia asked and shook his head: "Of course not, how can you let the Ping Zhun case go to investigate the Oiran?" ”

Yes, no matter how high the price of the Oiran sells, it is not the turn of the equalization case to care! Even when Xining was in the New Deal, he didn't care about the pricing of prostitutes.

Lu Benzhi pouted, "Then who are you checking?" ”

Lu Jia asked and snorted: "Go and check those small merchants and hawkers who live in the military camp in the north of the state!" ”

"Check the small merchant and hawker?" Lu Benzhi immediately understood his father's thoughts, "Daddy wants to use this method to force them to relocate?" ”

Now that the pigtails of the Republic Bank can't be held for the time being, Lu Jiawen can only turn his target to the demolition of the military camp in the north of the state. But how can those nail households in the North Military Camp be so easy to deal with? The family is a member of the forbidden army, and there are two divisions and three yas, as well as the Yuan You traitorous party (old party).

Lu Jiawen wanted to reason with others, but people didn't listen, and he wanted to mobilize the forbidden army to use the strong, but he didn't have the power, and even An Tao, a member of the Privy Council, and Jiang Zhiqi, a member of the Privy Council, who also knew the Privy Council, did not support the method of forcibly evicting the forbidden army's nail households.

Of course, even if the two of them support it, they don't have the right to directly mobilize the forbidden army of Kaifeng Prefecture. This matter must be decreed by the emperor......

Therefore, Lu Jia asked and thought about it, and he could only use the city tax and peace plan under the Taifu Temple to find the trouble of those nail households in the military camp in the north of the state - this Kaifeng Mansion is three hundred and sixty lines, and there is a forbidden army!

"Yes!" Lu Jia asked, rubbing his beard, "This is the only way!" However, this matter must be very meticulous, and the forbidden army of the entire Kaifeng Mansion must not be provoked...... Son, the old man wants you to do it, and you personally go to the city tax and level the case to select some reliable and capable officials. Find out where the most difficult residents in the northern military camp are working, and then deal with them carefully. Did you know? ”

"Got it! The child will do it! Of course, Lu Benzhi knew that this errand was not easy to do, but now that the matter has come, he can only bite the bullet.

It's a big deal to mess up the errand, and the whole family goes to Haizhou to live...... No, you have to take advantage of the fact that the old man has not fallen to make a little more money, and then send someone to Haizhou to buy the house.

……

West of Kaifeng Fucheng, Qionglin Garden.

The renovation project of Qionglin Garden has now begun, but it is not to start, but to come up with a design plan.

The sketches of the plan were drawn by Wu Haogu and Huang Wulang, and then handed over to Li Jie, who was a filial son at home, to revise and formulate the construction plan. At the same time, the best carpenter in Kaifeng Mansion was invited to make a model of Qionglin Palace according to the drawings.

Now the model has been placed in the Qionglin Pavilion in the Qionglin Garden, and it is displayed in front of the Holy Monarch Zhao Ji who is here.

"Why do you want to build such a tall wall outside the Qionglin Palace?"

Zhao Ji looked at the model of Qionglin Palace spread out on several large square tables put together, and felt very strange. On the periphery of Qionglin Palace, for some reason, a ring of walls that look quite tall has been built.

"Your Majesty," Pan Xiao'an replied with a smile, "This circle of walls was proposed by Wu Dalang...... In his letter, he said that the craftsmen who built the Jiehe Shang City occasionally burned a kind of red brick that was cheap and produced very much, and if it was used to build the walls of Qionglin Palace, it would be very beautiful. ”

"Red bricks?" Zhao Ji thought for a while, "It won't be overstepped, right?" Now there are many people who are jealous of Dalang's property and status, so he has to be careful. ”

"Da Lang's letter said that the red bricks used in the boundary river will be smeared with white ash on the outside." Pan Xiao'an said, "But the exterior wall of Qionglin Palace doesn't have to be plastered, so it will be very beautiful." ”

It's not important to look good, it's important to be sturdy enough! The brick wall is much stronger than the rammed earth wall, and the Qionglin Palace, plus the "urban area" outside, is not much larger, and it can be built into a solid small city.

If the general trend of ethnic minorities going south cannot be changed, Zhao Ji can also hide in Qionglin Palace City and wait for help.

"That's right," Zhao Ji nodded, "If it won't cost too much, it won't hurt to build a wall."

By the way, Da Lang and Gao Yu gave me a Taoist chapter through the Imperial Medicine Academy, suggesting that the children of the noble and powerful families who owned a large area of land in Cangzhou should be absorbed into the palace to facilitate the purchase of land. Pan Qing, you are from the Xungui family, what do you think? ”

Wu Haogu and Gao Yu passed through the Imperial Medicine Academy, also known as "dark into the text", which was a form of performance that the courtiers were more disgusted with.

However, Wu Haogu and Gao Yu were originally lucky to be villains, and it was normal for them to sneak into the text.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to buy enough land." Pan Xiao'an thought and said.

"Why can't I buy it?"

"The minister knows that most of the land in Cangzhou is in the hands of the nobles and heroes, and a considerable part of it is hidden land, and there are not enough interests, and these people are unwilling to take out the land that is already a little shady."

"Hidden Field?" Zhao Ji paused, "Is there no way to find out?" ”

"This ......," Pan Xiao'an didn't dare to answer this kind of question, "This minister doesn't know." ”

"I don't know, or don't you dare to say?" Zhao Ji looked at Pan Xiao'an, his brows furrowed slightly. The same question, if you ask Wu Haogu, there will definitely be a satisfactory answer, this Pan Xiao'an in front of him, it seems that there is still some bad time!

"The minister really doesn't know," Pan Xiao'an said sincerely, "The matter of inspecting the fields and inspecting the household has always been a matter of moving the whole body, and if it is done well, it will benefit the country and the people, but if it is not done well, I am afraid that it will ......."

"How can it not be done?" Zhao Ji frowned deeply.

"This ......," Pan Xiao'an replied, "some people say that Wang Jinggong's new policy has made many mistakes because there are no competent officials and officials to implement it. In particular, most of the public officials are hereditary, and they are monopolized by local tyrants, so they ......"

Seeing Pan Xiao'an spitting, Zhao Ji turned his head to look at Li Jie again, "Li Qing, you have been a magistrate, let's talk to me." ”

Li Jie pondered and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the magistrate has the responsibility of clearing the field and inspecting the households, and the matter of checking the hidden fields and hidden households is being done every day. It's just not fanfare...... If the officials are powerful enough, they can find out the hidden fields and hidden households. If it is not effective, it is useless to issue an edict and strictly investigate it. ”

The problem of the Song Dynasty, to say something that should not be said, is actually that the officials selected by the imperial examination system are not capable and their ethics are not good. There are not many things that can be done well by relying on them, so let's make do with it!

"Got it!" Zhao Ji smiled bitterly, "Let's not talk about this, let's continue to talk about my Qionglin Palace." ”

……

Cangzhou, Qingchi County, Zhongyi Village.

Wu Haogu, who was drinking tea with the old man Murong and the high-definition in the office where Murong forgot his worries, suddenly received a report from his subordinates: The Cangzhou Prefecture Government is arranging to clear the field and check the household!

"Good!" Wu Haogu waved his hand and asked Lin Wancheng, who had reported to him, to step back, and then said to Gao Yu with a smile, "Brother Gao, the wicked are about to move!" We have to get ahead of them and take over all the hidden land. ”

"Gotta get ahead of them!" Gao Yu nodded when he heard this, "You have to hurry...... Da Lang, it's better for us to divide into two roads tomorrow, I'll go to Qingzhou, you go to Qingchi County. ”

"Okay!" Wu Haogu smiled, "That's it."

Mr. Murong, Brother Gao and I will be with you for some time first, and when we have bought enough land, we will come back and ask you about the art of war. ”

The local tyrants and generals who owned a large amount of land in Cangzhou generally owned properties in Qingchi, the first county of Cangzhou, or the neighboring city of Qingzhou, and were stationed in stewards. The Jiehe Chamber of Commerce controlled by Wu Haogu had been in contact with some of them when they purchased the land on the banks of the Jiehe River before, so they were relatively familiar with their situation.

In addition, there is a large amount of Cangzhou land that is directly controlled by the clan or large branch of the Xungui Jiangmen family, which is regarded as a family property. If you want to buy it, you have to negotiate with the owner of the Shomen family. In this regard, of course, Pan Xiao'an came forward (the Pan family itself also has land in Cangzhou), and went to meet and negotiate with the heads of each family one by one.
