Cheng Yi said that he would never take the exam again, as if he had set the steps he had laid for himself. The emperor ignored him. What else could he do?

Cheng Yi went down this step, and returned to Luoyang with character and arrogance and admiration from everyone.

He really won't take the exam again in his life. He began to concentrate on his studies and began to truly embark on the road to pioneering the path of science.

Gan Qi hurried into the palace.

The anxious emperor asked: Have you ever persuaded Bao Qing about the matter?

Gan Qi shook his head and replied: Report to Your Majesty, the student has never spoken.

You will not be a student in the future and should call yourself a minister. Zhao Zhen said this and said: Why not speak up?

Gan Qi replied: I really don’t know how to say it, Mr. Bao is not someone I can persuade.

Gan Qi said that he was not used to this self-proclaimed person.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and sighed: Oh, what is the emperor? Is there really such a saying: kindness does not control the army, righteousness does not accumulate wealth, is the emperor destined to be the lonely person?

When the emperor reached this point, Zhao Zhen was at this age, how could he really not have any touch in his heart? Others who became emperors were just one and as majestic as a mountain. Where could any minister dare to do anything rash?

Why do you have to be the emperor? This is the way to get along with your subjects?

But, I have been like this for most of my life. What's the use of saying this?

Naturally, Gan Qi would not answer Zhao Zhen’s words, but was just silent.

The emperor also said: Do you have the confidence to handle the business tax affairs in Bianliang?

What? Gan Qi was a little surprised. How could a new Jinshi take on this major task? So what if he is the top scorer? How could a new top scorer be the head of a yamen in the capital? This is unprecedented.

Because most newcomers don’t even know how the yamen operates, how can they be the chief officer directly? Just like a new employee who has just graduated from college, it is the same as when they come up to be the chief officer of the company department.

Gan Qi was surprised and replied: If Your Majesty is trusting me, I will do my best to do my best to complete this job.

Zhao Zhen stared at Gan Qi for a while, but didn't know what was thinking, and asked again: The 5 million yuan a year's commercial tax was said by you.

This is the bull that Gan Qi blew. Zhao Zhen believed it or not, but Zhao Zhen wanted Gan Qi to keep his word, and to take the best, to take the best, to take the best, to take the best, to take the best, to take the best, to take the best, to take the best, to take the bottom.

Now it is different from the past. In the past, Zhao Zhen and Gan Qi talked about these things only to this level. Now that Gan Qi does it, it will be different. The leader valued you in the past, but that was only valued. Now that you have to do things for the leader, it is business.

Strict requirements are necessary. You should do what you said. Strict requirements are also the basis.

Your Majesty, don’t worry, as long as your Majesty can help one or two, five million yuan, only a lot or less. Gan Qi is very confident.

Zhao Zhen asked: What do I need to help?

Gan Qi was not polite and replied bluntly: First, a new commercial tax law needs to be promulgated. In this way, when I handle the work, there is a law to follow. Second, I need manpower, a thousand officials, and ten officials. Third, I hope that the new yamen will have its own prisons, and that the violation of commercial tax law will have its own power to judge and decide.

Zhao Zhen frowned and thought, this matter was a bit big. The manpower was good and the officials were worthy of it, so it was a bit difficult to promulgate the new law. Now it is only the experimental stage. If the law is promulgated, it will be confirmed. If this matter is not successful, the new law will be abolished. After such a round trip, the court will lose a lot of face.

Another thing is that this new yamen also needs its own power to judge and seize. This issue is not that simple. The entire imperial court has the power to judge and seize, either the local yamen, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate.

In this era, the power of law enforcement and trial are not separated. A yamen can both arrest and judge people. That means that the chief official has great power. Whoever breaks the law will break the law, and whoever wants to go to jail will go to jail.

Opening such a yamen, especially the new yamen, must be the most concerned person of the Censorate and the Censorate. At that time, I am afraid that Gan Qi will be given a handle at a young age and will be given a random handle. His political career will end before it even begins.

Zhao Zhen asked: The greater the authority, the greater the responsibility, can you bear the responsibility?

Zhao Zhen’s question has a lot of meaning, and Gan Qi can understand it. In this era, the case handling is not something that comes from later generations, and there are no high-tech means in later generations. Even when there are various means in later generations, mistakes are inevitable, let alone this era?

Once some mistakes occur, someone will inevitably stare at Gan Qi, making Gan Qi, the new top scorer, unable to bear it.

Gan Qi understood these things, but still gritted his teeth: I was determined to do things and didn't care about those things.

Zhao Zhen nodded with gratitude: OK, I have followed you what you said. But I cannot do so hasty in promulgating the new law. But Kaifeng Prefecture can promulgate a trial method for commercial tax in Kaifeng Prefecture, which can be considered as giving you a law to follow. You can go home to write this trial method and let me take a look at it.

The trial method sounds very familiar. Zhao Zhen can think of such things at will. Gan Qi looked at Zhao Zhen a few more. Nodded and replied: I obey the order.

Another point is that it should not arouse public grievances. In the trial method, the punishment should not be too much. No matter how serious the crime is, it should not be slaughtered for more than five years. This is what Emperor Zhao Zhen cares about.

It means that the trial measures drawn by Gan Qi should not be too strict. No matter how serious the offender is, the sentence cannot exceed five years. Another point is that Gan Qi should not enforce the law too much and should not arouse public grievances.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that Gan Qi was young and passionate, and caused public grievances because of the tax collection. This was a warning, who would be willing to pay for others? If you don’t want to, then there will be resistance, and there will be conflicts, so this conflict must be controlled.

Following the order, Gan Qi answered again, but remembered a question and said: Your Majesty, I hope that I can do the work of the masters and officials in the yamen. Please ask Your Majesty to agree.

Is there any reason? Zhao Zhen asked.

There is a reason for this. I plan to use Kaifeng locals in the new yamen, but they all use people from other places. Local people have complex relationships and are afraid that someone will connect with merchants when they have relationships. Using people from other places can avoid this early. Gan Qi thought a lot, but officials in various yamen must have a wide range of communication with people from all places. However, those who are really working at the grassroots level are all the officials transferred from various yamen, and there will be problems.

I agree to you about this. But if you don’t need local officials, where are you going to mobilize so many officials to handle the job? How many other officials from other places are willing to leave their hometown? Zhao Zhen asked.

Gan Qi raised his hand and pointed to the south, saying: Your Majesty, there are thousands of Western troops garrisoning into the capital outside the city. I want to use their temporary difference to charge.

Zhao Zhen smiled when he heard this: That's OK, but if a thousand guest troops enter the imperial city, if something goes wrong, can you afford it?

If there is any mistake, I can take this responsibility. Gan Qi replied.

Okay, then I agree to you. The new yamen is called Kaifeng Commercial Taxation Supervision, but it is not under the Kaifeng Prefecture. It is under the Three yamen and is under the Three yamen. You will be the chief of Kaifeng Commercial Taxation Supervision with the seventh rank. Zhao Zhen arranged the matter.

The new yamen was managed by the Sansi Yamen, and Gan Qi became a subordinate of Wang Anshi's subordinate. However, Gan Qi's official was also a storyteller in Chongzheng Hall, which means that he was the one who studied for the emperor and was under the seventh rank. Zhao Zhen still helped Gan Qi. With this official, even if he had a low position, it means that Gan Qi was the emperor. The number of chasing means that he was a temporary secondment.

All the officials and officials in this new yamen are probably all the money, not even one of their own officials. Even this yamen is temporary. Once Gan Qi fails to act, the yamen will be gone.

Gan Qi was very satisfied with this official position. He bid farewell to the emperor and went home happily, preparing to draft a trial measure for commercial taxation.

Gan Qi transformed himself into a new Jinshi, and suddenly became a powerful official in the capital. However, this was also something that Gan Qi fought for. From the policy of collecting commercial taxes to the specific methods, Gan Qi made suggestions.
