In the past few decades, the annual taxes on Guangnan East Road have not exceeded 400,000 guan, but this year's tax has reached 3.3 million guan, an increase of nearly ten times!

Zhao Zhen was also very surprised: "The taxes paid by Guangnan East Road this year reached a huge amount of 3.3 million yuan? In previous years, only Fuyu Road could deliver this result. How did Bachelor Zhang Heng do it?

?”

Zhang Yaozuo was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly rolled out of Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Zhen was also sighing: "Yes, Zhang Qing said before that he was willing to accept the victims of the Hebei East-West Road. I thought that the Guangnan East Road could accept hundreds of thousands of victims, which would be regarded as relieving the court's worries. Unexpectedly, he actually accepted nearly five

Millions of people, Master Zhang has made great contributions!"

Concubine Zhang said: "Can I take a look?"

Zeng Gongliang frowned and looked at Zhang Yaozuo in surprise, wondering what kind of medicine Zhang Yaozuo was selling in his gourd.

Zhao Zhen coughed and said, "Scholar Zhang has made great contributions to the country. My dear friends, how do you think the imperial court should reward him?"

At that time, Han Qi was serving as an admonition to the Right Secretary of the Imperial Academy. Han Qi wrote to Song Renzong: "The four old men, Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi, and Shi Zhongli, are eating people's food and not doing anything for human affairs. They know how to use power for personal gain and bring trouble to the government."

Did Ancestor Taizong work so hard to start a business just to let these four old men do harm at will?"

On the second day, Zhang Yaozuo went to court with his account book.

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I gave you the management of the Third Division, and this is how you repay me!"

Suddenly she pointed to the content above and said, "Uncle, did Zhang Heng go to Guangnan East Road to work as a transfer envoy?"

Concubine Zhang quickly asked: "Uncle, why don't you look very good? Did something happen?"

Zhang Yaozuo sighed and said: "Something big happened!"

Concubine Zhang quickly broke away and knelt down to thank Zhao Zhen: "Thank you for your magnanimity. I am not protecting my uncle, but I only have one elder, and I can't bear to make him sad."

Concubine Zhang's beautiful eyes glanced over Zhang Yaozuo, saw the account book held by Zhang Yaozuo, and asked curiously: "Uncle, what is in your hand?"

Anger flashed across Zhao Zhen's face, making Zhang Yaozuo tremble with fear.

Concubine Zhang was shocked when she heard this and said: "The officials...I..."

Therefore, Han Jiang and Han Qi have never been at odds with each other. Especially after Han Jiang was appointed Zhizhigao last year and was eligible to participate in the early court, Han Jiang actually opposed Han Qi's decision.

Zeng Gongliang himself was not good at all, but he was very defensive. The two masters and apprentices had conflicts with Zhang Yaozuo before, so he would not think that Zhang Yaozuo would be so magnanimous in asking for credit for Zhang Heng.

Zhang Yaozuo heard Zhao Zhen's question and quickly replied: "I don't know exactly how it was done, but we can get a glimpse of some things from the data.

Chen Zhizhong seemed to be a stranger and did not speak.

So when everyone saw Han Jiang refuting Han Qi, they all laughed heartily.

Zeng Gongliang was about to speak but stopped.

"boom!"

Zeng Gongliang returned to his own room in the political affairs hall, summoned a subordinate, and whispered a few words to him. The subordinate quickly left and came back.

When Zhao Zhen saw it was Zhang Yaozuo, a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, it's Zhang Jixiang, please tell me."

Concubine Zhang Guifei said: "Uncle, you can think in another direction."

Zhao Zhen said quickly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I don't mean to blame you, on the contrary, I just want to praise you, otherwise it would be really difficult for me."

Concubine Zhang Guifei talked to Zhang Yaozuo in a low voice for a while, and Zhang Yaozuo's face gradually became happy. When they finally left, Zhang Yaozuo and Concubine Zhang said: "With you in the Zhang family, there is hope for great prosperity!"

Zhao Zhen praised: "My noble concubine is a smart woman, and she has saved me a lot of troubles, hahaha."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Oh, where does the joy come from?"

Concubine Zhang took it over and looked at it for a while, and she found that this year's taxes had dropped too much compared to previous years, with a total of 20 million yuan missing. She was also a little shocked.

Zhang Yaozuo kowtowed repeatedly.

The subordinate said in a low voice: "Ding Kongmu said that the total tax this year is more than 60 million guan, which is a full 20 million guan less than last year."

Although Han Jiang and Han Qi both share the surname Han, there is no relationship between the two Hans, and there is even some hatred between them.

Zhang Yaozuo said: "I congratulate your majesty and congratulate your majesty!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Han Qi and then said: "Okay, I already have an idea. Let's discuss this later. Let's stop here today."

Just as Han Qi finished speaking, someone said loudly.

Because of Han Qi's impeachment, Zhao Zhen dismissed Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi, and Shi Zhongli from their positions as prime ministers.

And it was Guangnan East Road that refused to refuse anyone who came. It received a large number of victims who had no way out from Hebei's East-West Road and sent them to Guangnan East Road to distribute food and land to them. According to household statistics, Guangnan East Road

The road received nearly five million disaster victims in total!

Tsk tsk, Guangnan East Road received 5 million disaster victims and also paid 3.3 million guan in taxes to the court. Your Majesty, Zhang Heng has made great contributions!"

The taxes paid on Guangnan East Road include commercial tax, agricultural tax, tea, salt and wine tax, etc. Among them, the agricultural tax has increased from less than 100,000 guan to today's 1 million guan, while the commercial tax has increased from less than 100,000 guan to now.

From 100,000 guan to more than 1.5 million guan today, the increase in tea, salt, and wine taxes is not too great. The main growth points are agricultural taxes and commercial taxes.

Han Jiang was undaunted and said with a very calm expression: "The reason why the imperial court awarded Zhang Heng a Hanlin bachelor and Shizhong was because Zhang Heng added 40,000 hectares of fertile land to Guangnan East Road and increased the population by 500,000 to 600,000.

reason.

Zhang Yaozuo was stunned and said: "That's what happened, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yaozuo quickly took the account book and looked at it. Sure enough, Guangnan East Road ranked among the top five. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous and said: "Zeng Gongliang is going to be proud again now!"

Zhang Yaozuo saw Zhao Zhen's color and immediately understood that Zhao Zhen had understood his trick, and quickly said honestly: "This year's tax is 62.36 million yuan."

Zhang Yaozuo relied on his niece to rise to power, and most people would not provoke him. Neither Chen Zhizhong nor Han Qi would easily provoke him.

This time, taxes were significantly reduced. Zhang Yaozuo knew that Chen Zhizhong, Han Qi and others would not demand punishment, but he was worried that he would give him a blow, so he praised Zhang Heng and asked for credit for Zhang Heng, thinking that he would consider his disciples.

, and will not impeach him.

"Huh! You really look down on me. If you do this, you think I will not impeach you just to be upright. This is the kind of person I am in your eyes..."

Zeng Gongliang said disdainfully.

"...However, since you know a lot about the world and know how much I love my disciples, I won't argue with you this time. Anyway, you may not be able to pass this hurdle early next year. Haha, I will see which department you want to cut the expenses of.
