Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei - Chapter 709
The news that the Son of Heaven had arrived in Liao Province on his inspection tour was naturally no secret to officials in Liao Province.
It’s just that the emperor’s drive has arrived in Shenyang. Who would have thought that in just one day, there was almost no news that the emperor had arrived at Liaoyang Mansion!
Even if there is news from Shenyang Mansion, it is obviously not enough to spread the news in just one or two days.
Of course, if the emperor is in a low profile on weekdays, it is natural that there is no need for tip-offs between officials, but this time, the news of Bailian’s conspiracy to assassinate is no longer a secret.
In such a situation, the emperor’s itinerary seems to be a taboo among taboos, and no one dares to use his family’s head to inform others.
Under such circumstances, the sudden arrival of the Son of Heaven in Liaoyang Mansion was not a surprise to the officials of the Liaoyang Mansion.
This scene of Lijia Village is undoubtedly the biggest manifestation of this unexpectedness.
At this moment, next to the carriage, the emperor stood with his hands behind his back, and what he held in his hand was still the weighing head that was enough to weigh people’s hearts.
Li Ruolian and the accompanying court officials also stood beside the emperor in shock.
This unpreparedness was not only for the Liaoyang government officials, but also for them, obviously.
In this world, no matter what, as long as it involves the Son of Heaven, it cannot be a trivial matter.
No matter how small it is, if it involves the Son of Heaven, it is also a big thing.
What’s more, Daheng has been established at the end of the ninth year, and looking at all the ministers in the world, who does not know that the emperor they serve is not a good talker.
The Son of Heaven’s self-proclaimed tolerance, for them, seems to be unprecedentedly harsh.
The current matter was broken by the Son of Heaven, obviously, it was never easy.
Sure enough, after the emperor stopped for a while, the voice also sounded: “Immediately send someone to the surrounding prefectures and counties to bring their public scales.”
Li Ruo Lian was slightly startled, then immediately clasped his fists in response: “I will obey.”
The emperor nodded, weighed the scale head in his hand, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.
It is very simple for the emperor to rule the country.
If the problem cannot be solved, then solve the people who created the problem.
Even killing people can’t cure the problem, it’s just treating the symptoms but not the root causes, but killing and treating the symptoms is enough!
The Son of Heaven is now… going to kill!
The accompanying ministers looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, no one dared to say a word, no matter how much persuasion they had.
When things are brought before the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to be good.
Now, they can only pray, pray that this time, the emperor’s knife will not involve others.
At this moment, Er Dezi came in a hurry with a scale.
“Your Majesty, bring it here.”
“Weigh it.”
The emperor threw the scale head to Erdezi, and Erdezi quickly picked up the scale and weighed it.
The gazes of the ministers were also subconsciously fixed on this scale.
Soon, Erdezi’s voice rang out.
“Your Majesty, there are three or two less.”
“Three or two?”
The emperor was startled, but soon, this touch of doubt turned into a strong killing intent!
“How dare you!”
“What a brave man!”
God is furious!
Daheng standardizes the market system, all in decimal system, one corner is ten, one yuan is ten corners, and similarly, one catty is also ten taels.
One kilogram is missing three taels, which means that if the people want 100 kilograms of grain, but after passing through the public scale, they actually have to pay 130 kilograms of grain!
The agricultural tax of the imperial court, after passing through this public scale, also increased by 30% out of thin air!
This is just a village, if it is a county? a government? A province? How many provinces? Even the entire Daheng world?
What a huge number this is!
In the eighth year of Zhaowu, Daheng’s relief food was only 35% of Daheng’s agricultural tax!
30% of Daheng’s agricultural tax is enough to supply the logistics of Daheng’s millions of troops going on expeditions for several years!
If this situation is common, does it mean that the people of Daheng have to bear more of the extra agricultural tax, and these so-called agricultural taxes consume the reputation of the court, and are not imported into the state treasury, but by those corrupt officials. Officer’s belly!
If the emperor remembers correctly, he should still be Emperor Zhaowu, right?
He, Emperor Zhaowu, hasn’t died yet, has he?
Under his rule, under his butcher’s knife, is this the case?
What if he was gone?
“Li Ruolian!”
The emperor drank it coldly, and it was extremely rare to call Li Ruolian directly.
“The minister is here.”
Li Ruolian immediately responded.
“check!”
The Emperor took a deep breath, and although he only uttered one word, the surging killing intent in it made everyone present tremble.
It is a demeanor to be so angry with the emperor, and it seems that there are very few since the establishment of the country.
But without exception, once the Son of Heaven is so furious, countless heads will roll!
“The minister obeys the order!”
“Go in person and check for me, no matter who it is!”
“Jin Yiwei will supervise this case for me, and no one is allowed to leak it to me!”
“I understand!”
Li Ruolian fell to his knees with a thud, and responded with a strong voice.
The emperor looked around at the ministers beside him with cold eyes, his anger did not subside, and his killing intent was still strong.
But the Son of Heaven also knew that these matters had little to do with the important officials in front of him.
Officialdom is divided into levels.
The interests of the low-level and lower-level officials can only lie in the common people, but for the middle and upper-level officials, their interest tentacles have long been separated from the level of directly exploiting the common people.
They have a higher-level interest context and a higher-level interest orientation.
If this kind of unreliable robbery and robbery can be related to these important ministers, then it is really a big joke in the world!
But no matter what… the sin of oversight is inescapable!
The emperor snorted coldly and said nothing.
What he wants to know most now is this kind of public scale fraud, or similar oppression of the people, is it common in this place or the whole world!
These two points represent completely different meanings, just like the difference between heaven and earth.
It’s just one place, it’s just a small ailment.
If it is common in the world, then… it is already related to the foundation of Daheng’s fortune!
The emperor returned to the carriage, and the convoy set off slowly. The sky was still bright and the sun was just right, but the convoy was completely covered by a thick layer of depression.
Piff’s anger ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is just five steps of blood splatter.
But when the emperor is angry, it will be a million corpses!
The ministers were trembling and frightened, and the Jinyiti rode out and galloped along the official road to all parts of Liao Province.
At the same time, the intelligence system of the “East Factory” also operates accordingly.
One bright, one dark.
This time, the Three Judicial Justices, who were supposed to be the main body of the order, were directly excluded by the enraged Son of Heaven.
The emperor’s frame was still slowly moving forward on the official road, and the emperor did not go to the local inspection anymore, but went straight to Liaoyang Mansion.
And when the news came out, the civil and military forces of Liao Province also rushed to Liaoyang Mansion. This Liaoyang Mansion City, which is not very present in Liao Province, has become a Liaoyang Mansion in just a few days. The province’s storm vortex is located.
And this storm whirlpool… It seems that it will completely sweep the world at any time…
