Section 354 Causes

"Let's take a look at these first......" Liu Che took the paper with blood stains in his hand and handed it to Zhidu. 《

After reading it, although he was silent on the surface, Liu Che could clearly see the green tendons exposed on his hands.

Liu Che saw it and nodded slightly in his heart.

Zhidu's character has always been jealous and hateful.

In the previous life, Zhidu was in charge of Nanyang, but in two or three years, the entire Nanyang landlord Hao Qiang who killed himself was in danger, and he was transferred to the lieutenant, and he was even more murderous, and the ministers of Chang'an called it 'goshawk'.

Now, seeing the magistrate of Henan County doing this, it's strange that he can bear it!

However, on this issue, Liu Che knows very well that what he has to do is only to report the problem, as for how the emperor will think about it and how to decide, it has nothing to do with Liu Che for the time being.

"Trouble Qing will secretly present these materials to his father...... " Liu Che sighed lightly.

In fact, now, Liu Che also vaguely guessed that local bureaucrats similar to Henan County privately collected and calculated taxes, and after collecting them, what would they do with them.

Liu Che is not stupid, think about the Great Celestial Dynasty back then, what was the allocation of the overall fund, what was the retention money for?

It is nothing more than putting the salaries of the yamen officials at all levels, and then, up and down, they all share some benefits, and eat and drink with public funds to raise the little three and two mothers.

This truth is the same in ancient and modern times, and it will not change due to the changes of the times!

Therefore, Liu Che knows very well in his heart that this lid cannot be removed for the time being!

It's just that Liu Che is more curious, and according to the things recorded by Yang Feng, the magistrates of Henan County and other places will definitely not charge at most one calculation.

They are almost spring, summer, autumn and winter. will be called.

According to last year's census, there are 247,000 households in Henan County.

It is calculated based on the calculation of 600 yuan paid by each household in a normal year.

Officials of Henan County. Tens of millions of dollars more are charged a year.

With so much money, the ability of a small county guard is obviously impossible to hide, even if his surname is Dou.

In this officialdom, a small matter may be used by political opponents to make a big fuss, not to mention the purchase and sale of tens of millions of dollars every year!

Imperial Historian Yamen. The Tingwei Yamen, as well as the Prime Minister's Yamen, are actually all in this matter. became mute, Liu Che had never even heard of such a thing.

Hehe, isn't that weird?

The surname Dou is not a talisman!

There is no bird in the court. People who don't like Dou's. Grab a handful!

Otherwise, back then, the rumors of Dou Guangguo as the prime minister had just been released, how could the discussion between the government and the opposition be so turbulent?

So, after sending Zhidu away, Liu Che plunged into the archives of Shaofu and squatted until nightfall.

Liu Che who walked out of the archives. A look of helplessness.

Count jù, never lie!

Liu Che almost knew it now. I'm tired of it.

In the archives of Shaofu, Liu Chexian, the ten feudal counties that were assigned to him, the prince, actually counted the Hetian tax and the Gaozhen tax into the treasury as usual, and there was not a penny!

What does this mean?

This shows that the old Liu family itself is also a participant in this feast!

The cost of the prince's food and eup, which was supposed to be deducted from the tax, the calculation of the levy, and the tax on the grass, was apportioned among the peasants.

This is still Guanzhong!

Liu Che felt extremely heavy at this time.

Even the highest echelons of the state, the top of the pyramid, are involved in this feast, and what can you expect from the officials below to be disciplined? Won't it be the same?

However, at this moment, Liu Che, who has touched the truth of the matter, has only one thought - this is digging his own grave!

Liu Che didn't know whether the emperor's father knew about this matter, or whether someone was making a ghost inside.

Both possibilities are zài!

The emperor is a creature, never expect his temperance to have a lower limit!

The so-called Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, when he falls into the thrift, even the tyrant will feel afraid!

But Liu Che felt that such a thing, with the character of his father and the first emperor, probably couldn't do it.

Otherwise, isn't this a slap in the face?

As soon as the front foot shouted a light resignation and exempted a lot of field taxes, the back foot slapped himself in the face, and the Liu family was not so stupid!

Then there's only one possibility......

There is nothing that the bureaucrats cannot do for the sake of political performance!

The performance appraisal in October every year is a rope around the necks of officials up and down the Han family.

Population, number of households, acres of land, and taxes, all of which are the targets of assessment.

For the sake of the black gauze hat on their heads, these guys don't dare to do anything!

Hugh said that it was only apportioned, that is, to force the peasants to bankrupt, sell their sons and daughters, or even force them to die, what does it have to do with them?

And now that the apportionment and distribution are all over the country, Liu Che feels that not all officials like to do this.

Otherwise, the attitudes of Chao Cuo, Zhao Yu and even Zhang Tang would not be so strange.

It's just that......

If you don't do it, everyone else is doing it!

It's like being in an exam room, where other candidates are cheating, and if you don't cheat, then you can only wait to be eliminated!

A very obvious example is that the former prime minister waited for Shen Tujia, with clean sleeves, honest and honest life, and hated corruption the most.

But in the face of the prevailing bribery in the Manchu Dynasty, even the court flourished.

Even if he is the prime minister, he has no power, so he can only ensure that he is not greedy or greedy.

Thinking so, Liu Che took a deep breath and looked back in the direction of Taimiao (Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Temple), Liu Che shook his head.

Speaking of which, the official style and the world's style, to today's situation, his imperial grandfather is at least half responsible.

At the beginning, General Zhang Wu embezzled and accepted bribes, the evidence was conclusive, and both the stolen goods were seized.

As a result, out of the consideration of buying people's hearts and showing his own mind, the first emperor did not severely punish Zhang Wu, but gave him gold, saying that he would 'be ashamed of his heart'.

In the end, it's just a calf protector!

Who is called Zhang Wu is an old courtier who followed the first emperor from Daiguo to Chang'an, serving before and after the saddle for decades, without merit and hard work!

Whether Zhang Wu is 'ashamed', 'guilty' or 'remorseful', Liu Che doesn't know.

But Liu Che only knows that since then, the wind of bribery has intensified.

From the three princes and nine secretaries, down to the officials of the various yamen, who has never taken money and who has not accepted bribes?

is the eunuch in the palace, and he has no fear when he puts away the bribe.

Everyone is thinking - if the monk can touch it, can't he touch the poor way?

Zhang Wu can be greedy, and his brother can also be greedy!

In addition to Zhang Wu, Deng Tong is another role model.

Deng Tong, the favored minister of the first emperor, supervised the royal family to mint money as a eunuch, and in the end, the world minted money, half of the surname Wu and half of the surname Deng ......

With these two role models, officials who are not greedy or take will feel stupid......

Liu Che shook his head, the situation has unfolded so far, it is him, for a while, and there is no charter.

"I can only wait for me to take the throne and slowly clean up these messes, and the problems left over from history ......" Liu Che thought in his heart.

Now, Liu Che can only do it, severely punish the top and bottom of Henan County, kill chickens and monkeys, and hope that officials in other places can restrain a little.

With this in mind, Liu Che got into the carriage and, under the escort of the prince's guards, headed towards the Zhangwu Houfu in the night.

Now, Liu Che didn't just want to communicate with Zhang Wuhou about Dou Quan's problem.

He hopes that the wise men of the former emperor can teach him a way to at least make the officials dare not be so unscrupulous (to be continued!).

ps: Ahem, sorry for being so late to ......

The main thing is that today I hit the amino acid again......

Because the weather was too cold, it was not possible to play quickly, and as a result, a bottle of amino acids was beaten for more than ten hours, almost a drop for a minute......

But in that case, I can probably guarantee that I won't be bothered by any colds or anything next year......
