In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Or in other words, it was in the officialdom of the dynasties of the Central Plains.

There is an unspoken rule that cannot be explained clearly, and together with all other unspoken rules, it constitutes the dark side rules of the ancient official culture system of the Central Plains.

That is to say, when a person dies and is removed from office, all past sins will not be punished.

Although such unspoken rules may sometimes go wrong, there will be a few wise and mighty emperors who will pull out officials who have been buried in the land or have resigned and returned to their hometowns to punish them for the crimes they committed.

But generally speaking, when an official no longer serves as an official or dies, the things he did disappear with him.

This is not a special power obtained by officials who have been dismissed or died.

It is the unspoken rules set by those who are still alive and still standing in the officialdom for their future.

After three years of clearing the prefecture, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

If you earn money in the officialdom, give your position to others, and then go home, you will naturally enjoy happiness with the money.

This is the common understanding of most people.

Therefore, when Zou Xueyu, under the instruction of Zhu Yunxi, wanted to launch a commercial tax corruption case in the territory of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Province that could be traced back to the first year of Hongwu, he immediately encountered opposition from most of the court.

Even officials who are upright and have never violated the strict Ming laws in the past will choose to speak out against it at this time.

Hidden rules, like explicit rules, cannot be changed.

The ancient dynasty had its own operating rules.

"Your Majesty, I object to the request of the Governor of Zhili to trace the case of embezzlement of commercial taxes from the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road since the first year of Hongwu.

I think that there may be corruption and concealment of business taxation today, but this cannot be blamed on the first year of Hongwu.

Even though there may have been cases of corruption and concealment of business taxes from the first year of Hongwu to this day, it was by no means common to all eighteen prefectures.

Nowadays, the laws are very strict. Not long after the establishment of the Zhili Road, people are tempted and officials are greedy for merit. If the request of the Zhili Governor's Yamen is granted, there may be a case of sitting on vines. In the past twenty-eight years of the Ming Dynasty, one person was involved

There are so many commercial tax accounts in the warehouse, and the account books stored there have long been dusty.

How long will it take for the investigation to end? Will anyone engage in malpractice for personal gain during this period? I don’t know, but I know people’s hearts.

Zou, the governor of Taigong, was loyal to the country. He served successively as Jiaozhi Dao and Yingtianfu. He always served the country and the people. I admire the loyalty of the governor.

Since there is a tax inspection, I think that the governor can start the inspection from the 29th year of Hongwu this year, so as to deter Xiaoxiao and make up for the shortfall in the commercial tax of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road."

In the Wenhua Hall, an official from the Ministry of Revenue Ke Dao who was involved in the matter spoke in a deep voice and refuted Zou Xueyu's request to investigate all the commercial tax accounts of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Dao since the first year of Hongwu.

Zou Xueyu, dressed in a red robe, stood at the front of the civil service train at the court.

His face doesn't look good.

Even now, the Zhili Governor's Yamen has begun to retrieve the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs and began to check the business tax accounts of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road for more than 20 years, but as long as the debate in the court today is finally ruled to prohibit his

behavior, then after he retired from the court, he could only return to the Governor's Yamen with unwillingness to stop this matter that could force the local government Yamen of Zhili Province.

A bunch of silverfish!

Zou Xueyu cursed secretly in his heart.

He knew this Hubu Kedao Gei Shizhong who stood up to oppose him. He was an upright person in the past and had always been honest as an official.

But he would speak out against the matter he proposed.

Zou Xueyu couldn't help but glance at Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs next to him.

Xia Yuanji gave him a helpless look.

Although he is the Minister of Household Affairs, he does not have the power to command or control the officials of the Ministry of Finance.

This is the prerogative of the Ming Dynasty officials under the Ming Law.

Zou Xueyu became increasingly unwilling and looked up at the emperor's grandson standing on the steps.

Zhu Yunxi did not expect that his plan to investigate the past commercial and tax accounts of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road would trigger such a huge outcry in the court.

He underestimated the power of the hidden rules in the court.

Looking at the dozens of officials kneeling on the gold bricks in the main hall, Zhu Yunxi felt helpless.

Among these people, many work for officials, and they will not make any mistakes.

Even if one or two people occasionally make mistakes, it is because of the expediency of national affairs.

Are they afraid?

Zhu Yunxi knew very well that they were not afraid.

So why do they object?

Perhaps it is because of the self-precautionary consciousness of the official system.

The official from the Ministry of Personnel also stood up, after the official from the Ministry of Husbandry.

"I am reporting to Your Majesty that Zou Dutai wants to investigate the concealment of Zhili Dao merchant tax. I think this is feasible and good governance."

Just when Zou Xueyu thought this man wanted to speak for himself.

The official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs changed the subject: "However, it has been nearly thirty years since the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. During this period, many people and things were involved. Countless local officials have already resigned and returned to their hometowns, and even more have already

Rest in peace.

Even if there are people who have concealed business taxes for thirty years, how many are still businessmen today?

Zou Dutai wanted to investigate the tax case of Zhili Dao merchants. I thought that this was to clarify the shopping atmosphere of Zhili Dao and eliminate the innocence of Zhili Dao. It was a great act of kindness.

It's just that the business tax accounts of thirty years are suddenly investigated. If an unjust case is brought, wouldn't it go against the governor's original intention?

If the investigation were started in the 29th year of Hongwu this year, it would be difficult to achieve the effect of deterring and correcting.

I believe that starting from the 24th year of Hongwu Period, the Zhili Governor’s Yamen vigorously investigated all business tax accounts from that time to the present.

In this way, the court's losses can be recovered, the atmosphere of righteousness can be corrected, the country and the people can be benefited, and disasters can be avoided, which is the best thing."

Since the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, the investigation of the hidden commercial taxes in Zhili Road has begun!

Zou Xueyu's eyelids sank.

These people really know how to pick their time.

Even Zhu Yunxi, who was standing on the steps, couldn't help but look back at the old man sitting on the throne.

At this time, another official from the Ministry of Punishment, who had always had a low presence in the court, came out.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content that follows! "Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is working hard to govern. Under your leadership, we will carry on the past and open up the future, and prosper the country. The country was turbulent in the beginning, and your majesty's thunderous journey was the reason. Now, the world is at peace.

, the four regions are at peace, the country is stable, and the emperor's heirs are long, and it is not a matter of waging war to increase the sea of ​​blood. After being domineering, he can use the king's way to rest with the people and accumulate merit for the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

Tracking down the business tax accounts of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Province since the 24th year of Hongwu can demonstrate His Majesty's majesty and also reflect His Majesty's benevolence.

The officials and the people will all hunker down under His Majesty's benevolent government and pray that our Ming Dynasty will last forever, that the royal family will be peaceful, and that the emperor's heirs will grow strong."

Under Zhu Yunxi's gaze, the corners of his eyes moved slightly.

He suddenly shouted in his heart that something was wrong.

It was obvious that the old man was truly moved by this.

Everyone knows that in the past twenty years or so, the emperor has been a decisive person. Even those meritorious officials who followed him and started their career with Huaiyou will inevitably suffer from the emperor as long as they dare to block the country's future.

Crack down hard.

The murder committed by Emperor Hongwu is still vivid in everyone's mind.

Everyone could only surrender to the emperor's majesty and do their jobs fearfully.

It's just that in the past two years, there have been few murder cases involving as many people in the court as in the past.

They habitually ignored the cases caused by the noble King Qin of the Ming Dynasty outside the capital.

They only knew that the emperor was now increasingly unwilling to interfere with state affairs, and more willing to cultivate the emperor's great-grandson.

To say it is training, it would be more appropriate to say it is raising.

After all, the great-grandson of the emperor who only knows Aba and Aba now has not yet reached the level of training.

The emperor has slowly begun to have more of the kindness and tenderness of his ancestors.

This is why so many people dare to oppose it in the court today.

They were inferring whether the emperor was willing to reason with them rationally instead of resorting to violence.

"allow."

Just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking about how to persuade the old man to change his mind and stop listening to the objections of this group of people, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from behind him.

The emperor Jinsou Yuyan, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, confirmed that the commercial tax inspection on the boundaries of the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road can only be traced back to the 24th year of Hongwu.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The palace was filled with ministers shouting that the emperor was wise and mighty.

Zhu Yuanzhang calmly stared at the courtiers in front of him, curled his lips quietly, and waved his hands: "I guess there will be nothing to do today. I also feel tired, so let's go our separate ways."

Sun Gouer immediately walked out from the side.
