Chapter 304 Taxation Department

These few words made Chen Tingyun blush.

Chen Tingyun didn't know what to say for a moment. Originally, this kind of debate was not his best, and it was inevitable that there would be loopholes in the words he thought of in a while, but what he said was the facts.

Everyone present knew that what the nobles and honorary relatives did this time had nothing to do with voluntary action, and it was not that they were really loyal to the emperor and patriotism.

If there is a chance, these nobles and relatives will immediately repent. If they can pay less taxes or get back with a little embezzlement, they will definitely do this, and there is no suspense at all.

But you can't say this. If you say it, it's like lifting the matter on the table and letting His Majesty put his face?

So Chen Tingyun could only hold it in. To put it bluntly, the British Duke was using righteousness to suppress others.

The so-called righteousness can actually be understood as the political correctness of later generations.

Zhu Youxiao did not argue about this, but he had already made up his mind.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the ministers and said slowly: "Okay, there is no need to fight for you. Let's set up a new yamen! This yamen is temporarily placed under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao did not talk nonsense anymore, and stood up and walked out behind. Obviously, he didn't want these ministers to discuss anymore.

After Zhu Youxiao left, the civil officials and nobles looked at each other a few times, snorted coldly, and walked outwards.

The civil servant was very upset. He didn't get what he should have gotten.

As for the nobles and honorary relatives, this power has nothing to do with them, and it doesn’t matter if they can’t get it. They are unhappy because they were finally cheated by civil servants.

The nobles felt heartbroken. Even though this power was not obtained by civil servants, they were the ones who paid the money.

After returning to Xiyuan, the anger on Zhu Youxiao's face disappeared.

Lying on the rocking chair and reaching out to hit the armrest of the chair, Zhu Youxiao began to think about the next thing.

This time, the tax on farmland taxes can actually come to an end.

As for whether civil officials and nobles and relatives will fight again, Zhu Youxiao didn't care much. They just wanted to fight, but civil officials themselves fought and kept fighting. It was no big deal for them to fight.

Anyway, I didn't think about handing over this matter to Shuntian Mansion or the Ministry of Revenue, and I didn't think about handing over it to the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Zhu Youxiao originally planned to take this power into his own hands, and there were too many things to do in the future, so it would be impossible to have no money or food.

If the Ministry of Revenue and the Governor's Office of the Five Army were asked to collect taxes on the land of the Xunzhuang, it would probably not be able to reach it. Even if it could reach it, it would not be possible to have a lot. I had no mind and would not bother to argue with them.

He looked up at Chen Hong, and Zhu Youxiao said, "You go to Tongzhengsi and find Chen Sihai."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly bowed and agreed, then turned around and walked out.

The matter of paying taxes in Zhuangtian was settled, which made Chen Hong breathe a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be implicated.

During this period, Chen Sihai has been dormant.

Since the last case in Henan, Lord Chen has become famous and has attracted attention in the entire civil service system.

Of course, most of them are exclusion, but there are also many people who have a good impression of Chen Sihai. For example, Huang Kezhang, Minister of Justice and Qu Dalun, they all like Chen Sihai very much.

But more people stayed away from Chen Sihai and no one dared to provoke such a person.

From the governor to the minor officials, the officials in Henan were dealt with by this great man, and no one dared to offend him, for fear of being targeted by him.

This kind of person has the ability and is not afraid of death. The key is that he is in the heart of the emperor. He has the support of the emperor in everything he does. It is not cost-effective to provoke such a person. Even if you die with him, what can you do?

This time, Zhu Youxiao was about to take Chen Sihai out for a walk.

Last time, I asked Chen Sihai to do a big deal, but this time I let him out and do a big deal.

Of course, Chen Sihai should be promoted to an official position, this time this position is more suitable for him.

Chen Sihai walked in from outside with a serious expression and firm steps.

For Chen Sihai, he was bored during this period. Now that he learned that His Majesty summoned him, he knew that there was something big to do, so he came anxiously.

However, in order to prevent His Majesty from seeing him clearly, Chen Sihai still acted calmly.

"My minister Chen Sihai, see Your Majesty."

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Sihai hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said to him directly: "Okay, get up."

When Chen Sihai stood up, Zhu Youxiao said, "I'll give you an errand."

"Please give me instructions, Your Majesty." Chen Sihai bowed and said.

"You should know what's going on in the court, right?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said, "This newly established yamen is preparing to put you in charge."

"Your official position is the Minister of Revenue, but it is under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The newly established yamen is called the Tax Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Sihai couldn't help but hesitate.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing. After all, my promotion of my official position also means that I have received the attention of His Majesty.

This is an opportunity to stand alone. As long as you do it well, it will not be a problem to be promoted in the future. But Chen Sihai really doesn't want to go.

Because in Chen Sihai's opinion, collecting taxes is not a good thing, because it is not too difficult; trivial things like fortune-telling are not what he wants to do.

Seeing Chen Sihai hesitating, Zhu Youxiao asked, "I have something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Your Majesty, I am a man who doesn't understand many things in the officialdom, but I like to investigate and punish corrupt officials. On the Tongzhengsi, I do a very comfortable job, but I am afraid I don't have that careful thought when I ask me to collect taxes."

After looking at Chen Sihai, Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say.

Do these officials in the court have no blushing faces and their hearts beating when they speak?

You know, Chen Sihai's resume is all in Zhu Youxiao's heart. Chen Sihai can't say that, this is just a reason not to find.

Zhu Youxiao also understood in his heart, so he looked at Chen Sihai and said, "This matter is not that easy."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea and took a sip.

Chen Sihai couldn't help but be stunned and his eyes lit up.

Seeing that it aroused Chen Sihai's interest, Zhu Youxiao continued: "If I only collect taxes, I will not let you go."

"Although I am not a wise ruler, I still understand it if you know others and use it well. You are serious, upright, and talented. I know all these things. If you ask you to collect taxes, it will be a waste of your talent."

After hearing this, Chen Sihai finally calmed down his expression on his face, so he asked quickly: "Why don't Your Majesty ask me to do?"

"Of course I asked you to check people."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said, "It has been more than 200 years of Ming Dynasty, and more than 200 years of honor and honor. These 200 years can be said to be a change of world and things have changed. How many people are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Still holding the glory of their ancestors?"

"I don't know these, but what is certain is that many of them have fallen into depravity. These people spend all day long, without any sense of loyalty, righteousness, and shame, oppressing goodness, making the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable."

"I asked you to go, just check them. Start with taxes and see how many people they harmed and how much land they embezzled."

"This matter is probably more dangerous than in Henan. If you are not careful, something will happen. So I want to ask you, do you dare to go?"

Zhu Youxiao would not believe in any official rules.

Many people have said that there is a bottom line for death in the officialdom. Zhu Youxiao does not believe this.

Once a life is in danger, how can there be any bottom line?

They can also do the murder and arson!

Being suicide is not just a simple word.

If Chen Sihai really did something big, it would be absolutely dangerous. Maybe he would be killed by suicide or something unexpected would happen.

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Sihai not only did not retreat, but became excited.

He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please let me do this matter, I will never regret it if I die. At the same time, please rest assured that I will not let Your Majesty down, and I will definitely find out everything!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said with a smile: "Then do it well."

"By the way, I'll hand over the Jinyiwei to you. Aren't you very happy to cooperate with Xu Xianchun? This time you bring him with you. First, the Jinyiwei can protect your safety, and second, it's appropriate to move any manpower to let them do it. After all, the Jinyiwei is not involved, and they don't have much trouble in many places."

"By the way, you can raise any other conditions." Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said with a smile: "As long as it is not too much, I will agree to you."

"Your Majesty, I want to go to the Taxation Department alone with me." Chen Sihai said directly without hesitation.

"Who will let me go?" Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Tell me what you want?"

If it weren't for some great person, Zhu Youxiao would have prepared to let him go. After all, it was normal for Chen Sihai to need manpower at this time, and things would be difficult to deal with after all.

"Your Majesty, what Chen wants is the Lord of District Dalun District." Chen Sihai said hurriedly.

District Dalun?

This person is not a good person to meet. He is absolutely stubborn and a disciple of Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng.

Zhu Youxiao never expected that Chen Sihai wanted Dalun District.

However, Zhu Youxiao can understand that this kind of thing needs to be done by someone like Qu Dalun.

Just like Hai Rui was in Jiangnan, even the fields of Xu Jie's family would be accepted. No matter who you are, as long as you violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty and do bad things, you will not give you any face to death.

"If he had gone through, you might have to be the deputy again." Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said with a smile.
