Chapter 662: The Conspiracy Succeeds

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Chong is not a fool, the Ministry of Household is able to solve the problem, but the problem of the Ministry of Industry is solved, the problem of the Ministry of Industry will come out, the biggest oil and water of the Ministry of Industry is the project, when the Ministry of Industry gets a money and grain bureau out, in the future, what the Ministry of Industry said is still a word?

Originally, this Ministry of Industry was inconspicuous among the six departments, but now that even this bit of oil and water is gone, will this Ministry of Industry still have a status?

Zheng Chong sneered and said: "Xu Butang's words have some truth, but to solve the problem of the household department, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the four words of open source and cost reduction, why do you need to make such trouble, such as the levy of business tax, this is open source, the ministries check and balance, in order to throttle, in your charter, what to say that it is taken from commercial business, this silver is levied up, all wasted here, and what is the patrol hall and the construction of a school, and it is also a school that teaches pseudo-science and miscellaneous science, is this throttling?" It's simply ridiculous, and the old man never agrees with this. ”

He was the first to express his attitude, and when several other people from the Ministry of Engineering saw this, they also said: "What Master Zheng said is very true. ”

Their voices fell, and some people smiled coldly, but it was Liu Fang, the imperial history of the left capital, Liu Fang said sharply: "This official also agrees with Lord Zheng's statement, the household department organizes its own inspections and supervises the errands of various prefectures and counties, where is this to place the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has patrols in all provinces, as well as the imperial envoys who have parted ways, it can be said that all the officials are under the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now this tax bureau wants to get out of the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as the imperial history of the Zuodu, Liu Fang will not approve this charter unless he is crazy, the various yamen of the Beijing Division, which one is not seizing power, I am afraid that his own involvement is small, the tax bureau collects commercial taxes, how much oil and water is there? If the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't get involved, how can he explain to the imperial envoys in the courtyard?

This is a matter of principle and must not be compromised.

Xu Qian said lightly: "There is a reason for this, after all, the tax collector is an official, not an official, and the patrol must supervise it, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence ・・・・・・ it."

Liu Fang hurriedly interrupted him: "This is clearly your defense, all in all, this charter and the old man will never agree." ”

After Zheng Chong and Liu Fang expressed their positions, many people also seconded the proposal, saying: "Xu Butang's idea is good, it's just that Xu Butang has been in the place for a long time, and he may not be clear about the affairs of the temple, so let's discuss this matter calmly." Some people also said fiercely: "What does the household department want to do, is it necessary to withdraw money in the future, and even the cabinet does not have to go through?" Then what does the cabinet want to do, just let your household department be in charge in the future. ”

In the face of all kinds of doubts and objections, Xu Qian smiled and did not answer, he sat back in his chair and simply closed his eyes and said nothing.

This was originally a scene directed by the cabinet, and the lines were all ready-made, and the actors were naturally painstakingly selected, so there was no point in arguing with them.

Yang Yiqing coughed and said, "Xu Butang, you have nothing to say?" ”

Xu Qian said: "If you don't follow this charter, it won't be long before the court has no silver available, and the public is now opposed by everyone, and the lower officials have nothing to say, but something went wrong, but it has nothing to do with the household department, and it has nothing to do with the lower officials. ”

This attitude made Yang Yiqing furious, and the other meaning of Xu Qian's words was that without the household department, without him, Xu Butang, the current matter could not be done and solved.

What a big breath!

Yang Yiqing was about to attack, but Yang Tinghe opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Doesn't the Nunnery also have a charter?" You might as well let Xu Butang take a look. ”

Yang Yiqing realized that there was really no need for him to argue in the court meeting, so he held back his anger and said, "Yes, the old man has also drafted a charter, Xu Butang simply take a look, and the princes may as well take a look." ”

He glanced at the eunuch on one side, and the eunuch hurriedly went and took dozens of charters, the ink on which had not yet dried, apparently copied urgently.

The adults present at the meeting all had a copy in their hands and read it carefully.

Xu Qian opened the charter and read it carefully.

This charter is not so much borrowed from their own ideas, but it has long been changed beyond recognition, for example, the tax bureau is independent of the household department, named the tax supervisor, set up a supervisor, and the status is equivalent to Dali Temple. As for the collection of commercial taxes, they were also changed from tax collectors to local officials, and this was obviously done because the cabinet was not allowed to participate in it, for fear that the opposition from the lower heads would be too great, and this was obviously the result of a compromise.

In addition, Xu Qian's charter is based on the heavy tax levied on raw materials such as cotton mulberry, wood, pig iron, and coal, but here, it is still a heavy tax on raw materials, and at the same time, it is also taxed on workshops, adopting a tax system of one out of ten draws, and at the same time setting up personnel at various wharves and passes to collect checkpoint taxes.

In this way, it is more than twice as heavy as Xu Qian's taxes, and the reason why the cabinet is doing this is obviously due to pressure from some side, using heavy taxes to suppress the new policy in the area and hit the arrogance of the new policy.

As for the withdrawal of treasury silver, it is needless to mention, the responsibility of the household department is only to escort the tax superintendent's silver into the treasury, and where the silver needs to be used, naturally it needs the approval of the cabinet, and the cashier has nothing to do with the household, and the spending of silver has nothing to do with the household.

Xu Qian had already guessed that Yang Yiqing had drawn up such a charter, and he was not surprised, and when he put the charter down, Yang Yiqing's eyes were like torches, and he said, "What, what does Xu Butang think?" ”

Xu Qian said: "Lord Yang's charter, this is the way to take trouble, on the one hand, the pressure of the businessmen is too great, the checkpoint wharf asks for money, the raw materials are heavily taxed, and the various workshops have to pump goods, which is the practice of fishing with all their might." In addition, there are also various yamen who do their own thing, and if this continues, the problem will only become more and more serious, and even if taxes are levied, the problems arising from it will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and the lower officials are resolutely opposed. ”

Yang Yiqing looked at the other ministers with a smile and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Very good." Zheng Chong didn't raise his eyelids, and said straightforwardly.

Liu Fang also nodded: "The old man also feels more secure." ”

There were these two people who came out, and the rest of them were echo worms, and they hurriedly seconded the proposal.

Xu Qian looked at these people coldly, and said with a solemn face: "Aren't you too short-sighted?" I absolutely disagree with this charter. ”

Yang Tinghe stood up at this time, smiled, and said: "Xu Butang, you are young after all, you have to listen to everyone's opinions, you have to open the court discussion, and now, everyone thinks it's good, but you think it's inappropriate, but this is everyone's meaning after all, and now, you still have to stick to your own opinion?" Even if you insist on your own opinion, but according to the rules, the cabinet can't implement your charter, but it is Mr. Yang's charter, the old man also thinks it's very good, it's better to be safe, this household, according to this book to change, if you still feel any dissatisfaction, but you can say it, it doesn't hurt. ”

Xu Qian said: "The lower officials just want to ask, if Lord Yang's recital goes wrong, do you want to be responsible?" ”

Yang Yiqing sneered: "It's not up to you to decide?" ”

Xu Qian looked at Yang Yiqing and said word by word: "Leaving disaster to the people and shaking the society, why isn't it the lower officials who have the final say?" Not to mention that the lower official is a household secretary, and he has received the grace of the saint, even if he is an ordinary horseman, and it is closely related to Lord Yang's charter, and the court rewards and punishments are moderate, could it be that there will be chaos at that time, can you still ask? ”

Yang Yiqing was furious, this Xu Qian is a crow's mouth, you just oppose it, but now you still look like the implementation of your own charter will definitely cause endless harm, isn't it all over the world, as far as you know how to collect taxes with the surname Xu?

Yang Yiqing sneered: "Even if there is chaos, the old man will be even, and he will not worry about Xu Butang." ”

Xu Qian didn't get angry, just smiled and said, "I hope so." ”

A court discussion broke up unhappily, but this unhappy dissolution was for Xu Qian, as for the others, they were just afraid that they would have more thoughts about celebrating each other. Everyone dispersed, and Xu Qian also planned to go back to the ministry to take care of official business, but Huang Jin hurriedly ran to stop him and said, "Xu Butang, Your Majesty heard that you have entered the palace, please go to the Great High Xuan Hall to reply." ”

Xu Qian nodded and said to Huang Jin: "Is Your Majesty okay lately?" ”

Huang Jin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is unpredictable, let's ...... We can't tell. ”

Huang Jin didn't hold his mouth in front of Xu Qian, he was really panicked in the past few days, and continued: "That case ・・・・・・ still be investigated, and now the people in the palace are terrified, for fear that they will accidentally break the rules." ”

Huang Jin licked his lips and said with a smile: "Although our family is said to be the old man of King Xing, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, but he is also walking on thin ice, and he does not dare to slack off at all, hey...... These days are getting more and more difficult, I really don't know when, our family is going to be a heel, and now we can only take one step at a time. Xu Butang, what you can say in front of Your Majesty, when the time comes, I have to ask you to say a few more kind words. ”

"Me?" Xu Qian felt funny and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty has its own measure, don't you understand?" His Majesty is actually knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger by doing this, he really doesn't necessarily want to embarrass the palace, but to show others. ”

"Be a human being and others will see?" Huang Jin was stunned for a moment.

Xu Qian nodded: "Yes, it's for others to see, think about it, what Your Majesty fears the most is these eunuchs in the palace?" ”

Huang Jin fell into deep thought, but for a while, he had no clue, could it be that he was afraid of Yang Tinghe, that was not right, he was afraid of Yang Tinghe, what to do with the eunuchs?

The second chapter is delivered, and I would like to remind you that there has been something recently, and there can only be two updates these days.
