Chapter 13: Do You Think It's All Made?
Hasn't this guy heard of my reputation?
Or do you think that if I come in alone, I am weak, and even if I have a way, I can use it somewhere?
No matter what Chu Lushan had in mind, Zhu Cihong didn't plan to stop.
So Zhu Cihong really looked at it like this.
"Do you really want to check the accounts alone?" Chu Lushan sneered in his heart that Zhu Cihong was overwhelmed, glanced at the man in the corner of the inner hall, and saw that the man gestured to himself, and landed on a fat official, and slowly bowed his head.
At this moment, the man with a fat figure had just put down a stack of account books and a copy of the tax bill accompanying the ship.
Seeing this, Chu Lushan suddenly made up his mind, and looked at Zhu Cihong, as if he saw a boiled duck that was about to be served on the table. is even more fluttering and fantasized, if Zhu Cihong goes wrong during the handover process and is injured by the huge pit he buried, then maybe the above will remember that the Linqing Tax Division cannot be messed up, and hand it over to me to let me ensure the stability of this year's tax bank.
Thinking of this, Chu Lushan's heart was slightly hot, he looked at Zhu Cihong, and said, "Lord Qin, since it is handed over immediately, it is natural that there can be no charter." All the account books and documents have been delivered, I don't know how Lord Qin Xia will hand them over? For example, how about putting the account books in, letting Lord Qin Xia review them once, and then signing and drawing them, and handing them over? ”
When Chu Lushan said this, he naturally quickly handed over a piece of white paper with undried ink, on which were written the words "review all and find nothing missing". This is to ask Zhu Cihong to sign for it.
Zhu Cihong just glanced at it slightly and then took it away, and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be so coarse." In my opinion, I will make a list based on the account book of one day, and if it is correct, I will draw a circle. If there is a problem, I will draw a cross and check it carefully! ”
"That's how it should be." Chu Lushan squinted his eyes and smiled, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong just glanced at Chu Lushan slightly, and then continued to read it by himself.
The first to be sent in are the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, this year's tax bills, ship bills, documents and corresponding account books.
These things are complicated, and although there are account books, most of them are not accurate. Zhu Cihong knew that there must be secret notes in the account book that he couldn't recognize, and it was even very likely that he had prepared another internal account, and this was just an external account that was taken out for outsiders to see.
However, Zhu Cihong also has his own set of methods. That is the mental arithmetic rounding, and the mantissa is like adding.
Mental rounding is to roughly tolerate an error, then omit the decimal and calculate only the whole number. As for taking the mantissa number, that is, adding it on the single digit, and then verifying the mantissa of the sum. Then assist in randomly selecting account books, and with Zhu Cihong's mental arithmetic ability exercised in the household department, Zhu Cihong can still see the fake accounts that are not careful.
As for the account books that are done carefully, why does Zhu Cihong want to read it?
It can't be checked in a short period of time. Finding fault in the books is actually a tough attack on a well-defended city. Unless there is no other way and the time is tight like Zhu Cihong's first entry department, it is really unnecessary to storm regardless of the cost.
But fortunately, Zhu Cihong thought happily in his heart that even if all kinds of documents in the file were fake, they were the most basic evidence and could not be tampered with afterwards.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong just flipped through the account books of the 3rd, 17th, and 21st of January, checked it and put it away.
After a while, on a blank piece of paper, the receipt of the January file and accounts was correct.
Seeing this, Chu Lushan suddenly laughed softly.
But his smile didn't last long.
Because Zhu Cihong directly skipped the accounts in February of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and then pressed it on the file in March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.
I saw that Zhu Cihong first took out a stack of ship tax bills, and then picked up the March account book and said: "In March, the owner of the ship surnamed Liu, there were eight ships, all of which were five-foot beams, and the ship material was converted into four dollars and four cents of silver, and finally paid fifteen yuan. Is that so? ”
Zhu Cihong read aloud, looked at Chu Lushan, and smiled slightly.
Chu Lushan felt that something was wrong: "The ship's material is indeed levied like this. What's the problem? ”
"The ship's material is naturally unmistakable." Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and then said: "It's just that I don't mention how the five-foot beam boat formed a fleet to go north." Just talking about the one-zhang high Yunnan golden silk nanmu sold above, how is it loaded on a small boat with a five-foot beam? ”
The little smile that Chu Lushan had just raised suddenly condensed. False reporting of Liang Tou is a long-standing malpractice in the tax division. Especially on the question of how big the beam of the vehicle and ship is, it has always been a feast for the household department to eat and take the card.
Zhu Cihong really wants to take advantage of this accumulation of shortcomings, he really has no choice!
"Could it be that you, Qin Xia, really want to deal with the entire household tax division?" Chu Lushan shouted in his heart.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Lushan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Registration is so, that's it." Is it difficult for Lord Qin to investigate thoroughly? ”
Zhu Cihong shook his head: "I just sighed, after all, there are few people in this world who know the times." After all, Junjie is scarce and mediocre is abundant. The value of gold silk nanmu in this tax bill should be 3,250 taels of silver, and according to the tax rate, and then calculate the method of pre-levy, that is, 39 taels of silver should be paid. But why did these eight ships pay how much on the tax bill? See clearly! ”
Saying that, Chu Lushan was taken aback, and really thought that Zhu Cihong had found a loophole, so he immediately looked over and studied by himself......
I saw that it said thirty-nine taels!
Seeing this, Chu Lushan suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Lord Qin, didn't you come to hand over today to entertain your own official?" Could it be that the officials don't know the pre-levy rules of 30 taxes and 4 tenths? Since it is worth three thousand two hundred and fifty taels, then the tax payment is thirty-nine taels. Is it wrong to write 39 taels on this tax bill? If Lord Qin Xia really thinks that I Chu Lushan is easy to deceive, then I will think about it! ”
"Wow!" Zhu Cihong looked at the angry Chu Lushan, and also sneered, and said loudly: "Then Lord Chu Lushan thinks that I, Qin Xia, am easy to bully!" Open your dog's eyes wide and show the official, eight so-called five-foot beam-headed ships, all the taxes and silver are only thirty-nine taels! Keep your dog's eyes open and watch this list carefully! As he spoke, Zhu Cihong raised a sheet high, only to see that there were four ships carrying gold silk nanmu and four ships carrying Taihu rice, Songjiang cloth and Huzhou silk written on it! ”
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong's tone suddenly cooled down, as if he was bubbling with a trace of cold air, freezing so much that he could freeze, and walked forward, looked at Chu Lushan and said, "The five-foot beam is fine." And where did the commercial taxes on these four ships go? is so blatant to show favoritism and seek personal gain, is it really true that what a certain master did in Beijing was made up for you? ”
Watching Zhu Cihong walk in one step, his momentum was compelling, not only destroying all the momentum brought by his anger just now, but also pressing over with a kind of breath-grabbing power, making Chu Lushan feel that his breath was a little frozen.
