Chapter 552: The Original Clearing the Source (Continued)
The rain was drizzling, and the soldiers could not be trained. Li Li, who could not become a soldier, handled trivial matters in the office next to the military camp and met guests.
The guest is Hu Wei, who is in charge of trading market affairs. He has been very busy for more than half a year and has become much more haggard.
When Li Li returned to Beijing to work and supervise taxes, Hu Wei became busy as a pawn. Until now, he managed the trading market in an orderly manner.
"According to the proposed new rules, after the scope of tax refund is expanded, tax losses will be close to 70%."
Hu Wei said slowly, expressionless, as if a mother who was about to sell her children into slaves, her eyes were dull.
"The trading market will be divided from the General Taxation Department and handed over to Shaofu Temple to manage. Various trading rules will probably not change. However, the confirmation of the qualifications of the ingenuity must be repeated."
Speaking of this, Hu Wei's expression was like a young lady who was sold to the fortunate scene. She looked like she was desperate when she was about to receive the guests.
Li Li looked calm and asked, "In your judgment, if you really want to do this, how long can the trading market last?"
Hu Wei replied: "At most two months, you will become a tool for the powerful to suck blood, and your reputation will be insane."
After saying that, he looked unhappy: "The tax tariffs that are levied without exception, and the trading market where all transactions must be traded within a limited range are inseparable."
"It is impossible for them to evade taxes and trade the benefits of the market."
"Greed, incompetent! You can only fish in the dry pond and hunt in the forest. It's so stupid and bad!"
Li Li corrected: "No, they are not stupid, they are just simple bad things, they just eat fat and big ears, regardless of whether others are skinny or not."
"Tax tariffs continue to strictly impose taxes on people who have no backers, but they use the expanded tax refund privileges to make tax tariffs useless for themselves and can also create cost advantages."
"Then master the trading market, manipulate bidding trade, so that those who have no backing can only accept their low buying and high selling in the market, and cannot resist."
"Monopoly channels, markets, and buyers and sellers, this monopoly-type middlemen exploitation method is the most popular way for officials and businessmen to make profits. You can make a lot of money without using your brain."
"However, only a small part of the big money earned at the expense of disrupting the market and exploiting small and medium-sized vendors went into the treasury, and most of it went into their money bags and backers."
"So, they are either stupid and bad, or they are simply bad."
When Hu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but say, "June, are you just watching them do nothing?"
"You said they were doing something wrong?" Li Li asked back, and then laughed: "They said this is the correct source."
"It is inevitable that people will die. Replacing a decayed house with decayed beams is much more difficult than building a new house."
"So, for King Xunyang, compromise is more cost-effective, and if he wants to seize the opportunity to record the affairs of Shangshu, he has to compromise."
"There are so many emperors in the dynasty, and there are more than one who has qualifications and prestige. Although he is the oldest, no one has any regulations that the oldest emperor must come to assist in the administration."
"There is only one opportunity. For this opportunity, King Xunyang must compromise with all the forces in Jiankang City. Otherwise, even if the Secretary of State is recorded, he will not be able to sit in this position for a long time."
"You know, the Empress Dowager is guarding against these brothers and uncles taking the throne. After all, there was just a trip to Qi State not long ago."
Seeing Hu Wei's expression of indifference, Li Li comforted: "Life will not be open and honest, don't take it to your heart, think it's easier."
What should be even more depressed is Li Li. Seeing Li Li's relaxed look, Hu Wei sighed and nodded.
......
The next day, in the afternoon, Wang Lin, who had just returned to Jiankang, was invited to visit Li Li.
"What's the situation with the king?" Li Li asked, Wang Lin shook her head: "Oh, I just rely on ginseng to hang my life."
Li Li asked again: "Then, what should you do if the princess gets into trouble in the future?"
"What else can be done? The court will decide." Wang Lin couldn't help but sigh. He was called back by the King of Xiangdong, just to support the prince Xiao Fangzhu.
The King of Xiangdong knew that once he died, the princess would inevitably make trouble, so he asked the Empress Dowager to cry and wanted his grandson Xiao Zhuang to succeed the throne of Xiangdong King.
So the King of Xiangdong called back Wang Lin, who was working in Bozhou, Huaibei, to give the Wang sisters and Xiao Fangzhu courage.
The foreign governor was not allowed to leave his place of office without permission. Therefore, the King of Xiangdong used his power to transfer Wang Lin back before resigning from the "Records of the Shangshu".
The Wang brothers, Wang Xun and Wang Lin, are now living. Wang Lin is more capable, more courageous and has wider connections than his brother Wang Xun.
Give your sisters and Xiao Fangzhu a greater chance of winning.
After all, it is difficult for the empress dowager and prime minister to refute the request of the Princess Xiangdong when it comes to the topic of "brothers and brothers" or "fathers and sons to succeed".
Although the King of Xiangdong had his own disciples and former officials and confidants, no one else could say much about this kind of thing.
Moreover, after the death of King Xiangdong, the Princess Xiangdong was the lord of the prince's house. When the trouble broke out, the two concubines of the Wang sisters would be very passive, and Xiao Fangzhu would not be able to do anything extreme to his mother.
After all, there are many children of the Xu family in the Donghai Province who hold high positions in the court. There are not many brothers of the Princess of Xiangdong who are alive, but there are nephews who can rely on them.
Therefore, the King of Xiangdong asked Wang Lin to return to Beijing, so that Wang Lin, the brother and uncle, would do his best to support his sisters and nephews.
Wang Lin understood that it was not appropriate to go back and rushed back without stopping.
After talking for a while, Wang Lin turned the topic to the other side: "I have heard of it. I said that when King Xunyang records the affairs of Shangshu, he should pay more attention to the children of the ministers and followers of the generals."
"Although I don't know how to use it, I hope you don't think too much."
"You are comforting me." Li Li smiled and took over the conversation.
"The state dynasty has established a stadium, and its honorary ministers and their children were born in the Wei family of Jingzhao, the Liu family of Hedong, the Pei family of Hedong, and the Taishan Goat family of the south. Although they are not as good as the Wang Xie Gao family, their reputation is still prominent."
"The court used them to decorate the storefront, and compared with Qi, it was quite grand, right?"
"Besides, there are many distant relatives. In Zhou and Qi, both countries have children of the same clan and hold important positions. At critical moments, this kind of clan relationship may not be useful."
"For example, if you recruit surrender and rebel, your friendship with the same clan will naturally bring you closer relationships. If you recruit other officials from gentry, the gentry will also make the other party feel respectful."
Wang Lin heard the "strange tone" in Li Li's tone, but did not respond, but listened.
Li Li continued: "Let's talk about the Wei family in Jingzhao. Wei Rui, who defeated the Wei army in the Zhongli War, was known as Wei Hu."
"When Hou Jing was in rebellion, his descendants either served the king or guarded Taicheng, and they were worthy of the country and the emperor's kindness."
"His grandson Wei Can was the confidant of Emperor Wen. When Hou Jing was in rebellion, he led his army to serve the king. He fought fiercely in Jiankang and sacrificed his life for the country. At the same time, he also died in battle for several sons and hundreds of tribe members. He can be said to be loyal and martyrs in the whole family."
"Now, it is natural that the court should value the Wei family's children and take on the heavy responsibility of military affairs."
"The Liu family in Hedong is the same, and the Pei family in Hedong and Xiahou family in Qiaojun were originally ministers of the state dynasty. They have been deeply engaged in the two Huai Rivers for many years. Now they value their children, which is understandable."
Li Li gave an example: "The Xiahou family of Qiao County, and the county is located in the current Bozhou area. If the Xiahou family of Qiao County is appointed as the governor of Bozhou, it will be of great help to bribe the hearts of the local wealthy people."
"Although the Xiahou family had an ungrateful traitor, Xiahou, who had ungrateful traitor, back then, the tree had dead branches, so it was impossible to deny the Xiahou family's desire to serve the country, so the court should give it a chance."
"When it comes to Taishan Goat clan, the veteran General Yang Kan who is guarding Taicheng, I admire him very much. Now the generals of Taishan Goat clan are ready to go and serve the country without dragging on the mud."
"With these honorary ministers and the children of the family are there, the court will not worry about not having pillars to use. Letting these honorary ministers and the children of the family take on great responsibilities is the correct way."
Li Li's words became more and more sarcastic, which made Wang Lin feel very embarrassed and his emotions were unknowingly moved by the other party.
What is the use of origin on the battlefield?
Can you not die if you get shot in the face? If you are cut off from the head, or can you win a battle with a name?
When fighting, it depends on strength. Being able to win a battle means having strength and has nothing to do with your background.
Since the Hou Jing Rebellion, there have been constant wars in Liang State. Whether the opportunity can be made on the battlefield is the same for the warriors.
For Wang Lin, he was born into a military strategist in Kuaiji. Most of his subordinates said it was good-sounding, but they were thieves.
For more than ten years, they have fought bloody battles on the battlefield, crying, sweating and bleeding, and have today's official positions and titles.
Instead of relying on robbing the honorary ministers and taking the opportunity of the children to get the bargain.
Now that there is no trouble in the country or external troubles, we think we are vulgar and reckless men and cannot be put on the table.
If we want the children of the gentry to replace them, enter the house and chat and laugh, we will be turned away and stay wherever we are cool?
The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked!
How could this be...
The more Wang Lin thought about it, the less happy she felt, but suddenly she realized: Why did I betrayed by Li Li?
It was clearly me who advised you to think more, but I couldn't think more...
He calmed down and looked at Li Li: "The King of Xunyang records the affairs of the Secretary of the State and is in charge of the government. He always has to consider more. Some personnel appointments should be superficial, so don't take them to heart..."
When Li Li saw Wang Lin's look, "I'm obviously angry, but I still want to persuade others to calm down." He really wanted to laugh.
When a person dies and the government stops, the person in charge will change, and it is inevitable that the policy will be adjusted greatly. This has been the case throughout history.
Therefore, the premise for Li Li to dare to cause trouble is to have the ability to make trouble.
The King of Xiangdong Wandan must have taken over as the "recorded ministerial affairs" by a certain emperor, and a certain old royal family vassal king, no matter how he takes, Li Li will not be the one who takes the lead.
Unless he rebels directly and seizes power.
After the reign of the Secretary of State Xunyang, he must "feed back" to his supporters and must "correct the origin" and thus achieve "what people want".
"The capital of the Shangshu Province is very lively. Today, King Xunyang officially records the Shangshu Affairs." After saying that, Li Li drank a cup of tea and said, "I suddenly remembered something."
