    Chapter 310: Unification of the World 4 Tian Fenggu¡¯s advice to Li was to let her eldest brother come back as the head of the family and let Li Quanyi retire early for retirement.  .  .  If this can be done, it will be very good for the Li family and Li Quanyi.  Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable.  But just because they think this way doesn't mean that Li Quanyi will think so. He feels that he is energetic, clear-thinking, fully capable of controlling the Li Mansion, and can manage the family well, and does not need his son to come back to help.  Li Yukun, Li's eldest son, was kicked out of the house by Li Quanyi just two days after he came back. Although he was the mayor of Longzhou City, he didn't dare to have any temper in front of Li Quanyi.  Li Quanyi told him to get lost and had to return to Longzhou obediently.  "Father, did you ask the eldest brother to return to Longzhou?" When Concubine Li got the news, the eldest brother had already left Zhongdu Mansion.  "Yes, he is the parent officer of Longzhou, how can he leave the jurisdiction for too long?" Li Quanyi said lightly, this time he is very dissatisfied with his daughter, you can just turn your elbow outward, how can you still plot against my father.  "What about the tax payment? Can I discuss it with you, brother?" Concubine Li was anxious. This is a major matter that affects the life and death of the Li family. There cannot be any negligence. Tian Fenggu's boss is most likely that Han Zhongwei. This person  The army has always been focused on killing people. If the Li family makes him angry, what good will come of it?  "My father has his own plan for this matter, so you don't have to worry." Li Quanyi said calmly.  "No, father, you must promise me that you must carry out the imperial decrees meticulously, otherwise the Li family will be in disaster," Concubine Li said firmly.  "How presumptuous, when will it be your turn to make the decision in the Li family? Although you are the imperial concubine, even the emperor cannot protect himself now, let alone you as the imperial concubine. Don't worry, you are already a member of the Wanyan family.  Man, even if the Li family is in trouble, you will not be implicated," Li Quanyi sneered.  "Father, I didn't mean it like this, but Tian Fenggu said that the court is serious this time and is preparing to kill the chicken to show the monkeys. We can't be the ones who stand out." Concubine Li said impatiently, overturning the nest.  Is there a complete egg under An?  The Li family is over, what's the point of her living?  "You mean the Li family is just a chicken in the eyes of the court?" Li Quanyi snorted and sneered.  "My daughter doesn't dare," Concubine Li said hurriedly.  "Since the beginning of officials, scholar-officials have not been punished, let alone taxed. Now the Jin Kingdom may be over, but letting scholar-officials pay taxes is unprecedented. My daughter, I see that Tian Fenggu and his master are all  "It's bad luck." During this period, Li Quanyi also walked around with several families in Zhongdu who have a lot of land. Everyone has the same idea. They cannot give in on this matter. This is a matter of the court's face. They have decided to jointly submit a letter to let them  The imperial court took back the order.  "Father, this year's tax payment date will be in ten days. The land in Zhongdu Prefecture will be measured first. It would be terrible if the date is delayed." Concubine Li urged.  "I want to fight anyway. This time we are not trying to stand out. The two families of Su Mansion and Wu Mansion are ministers. The court has to give them face, right?" Li Quanyi said.  "Are you talking about Lord Su Zirensu and Lord Wudu Wu?" Concubine Li said.  "Yes, although Mr. Wu has been dismissed from his post and has gone to Beijing, he still has the power to issue memorials, right?" Li Quanyi said with a smile.  "Well, if nothing can be done, please father pay the taxes quickly." Concubine Li sighed.  "Your Majesty, Su Ziren, the Minister of Rites, and Wu, the former Minister of Household Affairs, respectively submitted official documents. They said that their salaries were meager and it was difficult to support their families, and they requested that their land taxes be reduced or exempted." After Tian Fenggu received these two official documents,  He didn't dare to be independent and hurriedly came to Han Zhongwei for advice.  "It finally came out. How many days are left before the tax payment deadline?" Han Zhongwei sneered.  "Nine days." "Okay, let's delay it for nine days first. Although it is good to kill one person to serve as a warning, it cannot be too costly." Han Zhongwei said that since they don't want to pay taxes, they should be allowed to pay more taxes and let them have a longer memory.  .  "Yes, what about nine days later?" Tian Fenggu asked.  "Wudu went to Shangjing, and his family members also went there. How come he still has property in Zhongdu?" Han Zhongwei asked.  "Yes, Wudu is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the money he spends in his hands is tens of millions every year. If he misses just a few, it will be enough for him to eat and drink for several lifetimes. Now he still has hundreds of thousands in Zhongdu  He also has a housekeeper at home to look after the farm and help him collect rent," Tian Fenggu said.  "Su Ziren will be removed from office in nine days, and then he will be convicted and his house will be confiscated," Han Zhongwei snorted coldly.  "Convicted and ransacked the house?" Tian Fenggu said in surprise.  "That's right. Didn't they say that if the family has no money, they can't support their family with books and newspapers? I want to take a look.How much are their net worth?  As for Wudu, as long as he does not come to pay taxes, after three months you will send a clerk to urge him and issue a tax reminder document. Then you can calculate how much his more than ten acres of fertile land is worth. As long as his taxes are increased  If the fine is enough, you can justifiably confiscate the hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land," Han Zhongwei sneered. Tian Feng shuddered. This is too harsh. The dignified Minister of Rites has his house confiscated for resisting taxes.  ? I don¡¯t know what other people who dare to resist the tax will think when they hear the news. Su Ziren is most concerned about his official document these days. Therefore, whenever he sees Tian Fenggu, he will ask about his official document.  reply, but Tian Fenggu only replied with four words each time: discussing. This gave Su Ziren a glimmer of hope, but he did not notice that Tian Fenggu looked at him with a look of pity and ridicule.  Nine days later, Tian Fenggu called Su Ziren, "Master Su, you are the head of the six departments. Don't you know that your family's taxes can be paid in full?  " "Master Tian, ??are you kidding me? It's hard for a low-ranking official to make ends meet for his family. How can he have any money left to pay taxes?  Su Ziren sighed, "Sir, I wonder if there has been a reply to my official document requesting tax exemption?"  " "Yes.  "Tian Fenggu said calmly. "Please tell me, sir.  "Su Ziren smiled. "The removal of Su Ziren from the post of Minister of Rites will take effect immediately.  Tian Fenggu said coldly, "This is my reply to you."  " Mr. Tian, ??are you kidding me? I just handed over an official document requesting tax exemption. Is it worth such a big fight?"  Su Ziren shouted, "My lords, you have to make the decision for me."  " "Mr. Tian, ??Mr. Su has always been honest and dedicated to the public. He really doesn't have any money left to pay taxes.  " "Yes, Mr. Tian, ??isn't it just an official document? There is no need to make dismissal so serious.  " "Master Tian, ??if you want to remove Mr. Su from his official position, then please remove us from our posts. You might as well handle this court by yourself." "Second" "Second"  "Oh, everyone doesn't want to have an official position.  Done?  "Tian Fenggu didn't expect that just by removing Su Ziren from the post of minister, he would be supported by so many people. "My lord, please take back your fate." "My lord, please take your fate back." "" "Those who don't want to be an official anymore, I will leave you here."  Official hat and uniform, you can leave now.  "How could Tian Fenggu give in to them on this matter? Taxation policy is related to Han Zhongwei's world. He must not be interfered with. Whoever dares to cause chaos will have only one end. The official who just threatened to resign will be miserable."  When they saw that Tian Fenggu was serious about it, some people started to back off, as if they didn't need to give up their future for Su Ziren. Of course, there were also people who sincerely supported Su Ziren. After hearing Tian Fenggu's words, they did not hesitate.  He took off his official hat and uniform, "Is Mr. Niu from the Ministry of Personnel here?"  Tian Fenggu asked. The name of Mr. Niu in his mouth was Niu Jinbao, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. "The official is here."  "Niu Jinbao hurriedly stepped forward. "You will record all the people who resigned today. At the same time, the Ministry of Officials will immediately issue a document. If the minister is missing, the left minister will be replaced. If the minister is missing, the minister will be filled by Yuanwailang, and so on.  Be sure to get it done today.  "Tian Fenggu said. "His move was so awesome. Originally, those officials just wanted to stretch Tian Fenggu. The court had to have someone to do the work. A dozen of them resigned from the official position at once. Look at you Tian Fenggu.  What can be done? As long as Tian Fenggu softens, things will be easier. But he never expected that Tian Fenggu would immediately arrange for someone to take their place.  It is impossible for the official to be reinstated. "I obey," Niu Jinbao said loudly. After he stepped back, he quietly wiped his sweat with his sleeves. He wanted to support Su Ziren just now, but he was still hesitant in his heart and did not make the final decision.  The decision was only delayed for a moment, and everything was settled. If he had done something reckless just now, I am afraid that the minister would have been replaced by someone else. Su Ziren's face turned pale, and he looked at Tian Fenggu angrily, "Master Tian, ??this is the case."  Are things being done too hastily?  " "It's up to me to decide whether to be hasty or not. You are no longer the Minister of Rites, but just a commoner.  Come here, take all these people who have been dismissed and keep them under safe supervision.  "Tian Fenggu said. "Sir, Mr. Tian, ??I was wrong. I was blinded by lard just now. I don't want to resign.  "An official who followed the trend suddenly ran to Tian Fenggu, crying with runny nose and tears. "It's too late, the official uniform was given to you by the court, how can it be taken off easily?  It's easy to take it off, but if you want to put it on again, humph, maybe in the next life." Tian Fenggu snorted coldly.?.  "I dare to ask Mr. Tian, ??since we have resigned, why are we still detained and not allowed to go back?" Su Ziren was the head of the six departments just now, but in the blink of an eye he became a prisoner. He was also panicked. What kind of tax was he resisting?  Ah, but now he also knows that it is impossible to turn back.  "Search the house." Tian Fenggu spat out these two words coldly, "Didn't you say that the family is so poor that they can't even support the family? I want to see how poor the Su family is." "Sir, the house is being searched.  Su Mansion, right?" The official who just knelt down at Tian Fenggu's feet was almost filled with regret. He is no longer afraid of losing his official position, and his family still has some assets, but if his house is confiscated, everything will be lost.  It's over.  "If you don't tell me, I really forgot. In that case, let's copy it together. You have been officials for so many years. I would like to know how much you have done." Tian Fenggu sneered.  .  The official at his feet rolled his eyelids and fainted on the spot. He was so talkative. At first, Tian Fenggu¡¯s intention was definitely to raid Su Ziren¡¯s home. But now, everyone was worried about him.  "Starting from tomorrow, any officials who fail to pay their taxes within ten days as scheduled will be ordered to confiscate their homes," Tian Fenggu said murderously. His words made almost all the officials' faces immediately turn pale.  The tax date has passed, but except for a few officials who have paid the tax, who will pay it?  Everyone was waiting to watch the show, but they didn't expect that the show was too short and ended as soon as it started, leaving them all feeling frightened.  Now they all just want to do one thing, go back immediately and ask their families to pay taxes. There are thousands of officials in Zhongdu. If these people don't pay taxes, then these ten days will be a lot of fun.  Being able to pay taxes will be a blessing. Su's house was the first to be confiscated. Of course, Su Ziren's wealth could not support his family.  In fact, Han Zhongwei was a little surprised when he received the news about the property copied from the Su Mansion.  Gold, silver, jewelry, jewelry, copper coins, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques were loaded into more than 300 carts.  If such wealth cannot support Su Ziren's family, then his family must eat gold for every meal, and they must eat at least ten gold for each meal.  "And a dozen other officials also copied a lot of things from their homes, adding up to more than 300 cartloads. In just these two days, 700 cartloads of property were added to the treasury.  It is estimated that the value of these 700 cars of property is at least 10 million yuan.  **, no wonder Yongzheng likes to confiscate homes. It turns out that confiscating homes is much better than impressing people.  The money sent to the treasury is only cash, and the properties, shops, and fields owned by these people in Zhongdu, if added up, would amount to tens of millions.  Among them, there are more than 500,000 acres of fields alone.  Among them, Su Ziren's family occupies more than 160,000 acres.  Su Ziren lost his official position and ransacked his home, which shocked Li Quanyi, who had been waiting for him. Su Ziren was the head of the six departments, and he was much tougher than the outdated Li family.  But even though he was so tough, with just one word from Tian Fenggu, Su Ziren was given an official position and his house was confiscated.  Moreover, none of the officials who dared to support Su Ziren were removed from their posts and their homes were confiscated.  The court¡¯s thunderous tactics made Li Quanyi¡¯s eyes darken and he almost fainted on the spot.  After he came to his senses, he immediately asked the housekeeper to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay taxes. Now that the tax payment deadline has passed, every day that passes, he will have to pay one more cent of tax, which is one percent of the total tax. Li Mansion  But for large taxpayers, even one percent is not a small amount.  The steward went to pay taxes in the morning, but he didn't come back until dark. Li Quanyi was surprised, fearing that something might happen to the steward, so he quickly took a few servants to the household department.  There are still two streets away from Hubu, so Li Quanyi's sedan can't get across. Why?  The whole street was blocked. After all, people were crowding him. It was difficult for one person to get through, not to mention that he was still a sedan.  "Go and ask, what happened in front?" Li Quanyi raised the car curtain, took a look, and ordered the servant next to him.  "Master, these people are here to pay taxes. Because there are too many people, they have already lined up here." The servant quickly found out and hurriedly came to report to Li Quanyi.  "Didn't you say that there are not many people to pay taxes?" Li Quanyi was very confused. Ordinary farmers pay taxes in the countryside. The principle of paying taxes is basically the principle of who pays taxes to whom.  Logically speaking, Li Quanyi should pay taxes to Zhongdu City, but because of his different status, the court also sympathized with them and allowed them to pay taxes directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs. This could be considered a special treatment for them.  Li Quanyi passed by here two days ago and found that the household department was empty. Could it be because he was frightened by the dozens of officials who ransacked his house?  Kill the chickens and show them to the monkeys. These chickens are really well chosen.  "Because the imperial court issued an order yesterday, if officials need to pay taxes, they must do so within ten days, otherwise they will end up like Mr. Su and others, having their homes confiscated." "Is this official a capital official or a local official?"Quanyi became anxious when he heard this. There were many officials in the Li family. It would be really unfair if they were given official posts or even had their homes confiscated because he failed to pay taxes on time.  "I don't know, it should be all the officials." "Quickly, go find Mr. Li." Li Quanyi's eyes darkened again. It doesn't matter if his clan members are put in positions of authority, but once their home is ransacked, oh my god, Li  The family is really over. "Master." Manager Li was quickly found. He was actually on the street in front, hundreds of steps away from the Ministry of Household Affairs.  "Li You, have we paid our taxes?" Li Quanyi asked hurriedly.  "Master, haven't you seen it? Not to mention today, if you can pay the tax in three days, it's already pretty good." Li You sighed. He was also shocked by this scene when he came in the morning. He only heard that  People who are impatient when receiving money have never heard of people who are impatient when paying money.  Later, he heard about the new decree just issued by the imperial court, and then he understood why it was so popular today.  "What's the matter? It will be easy to pay the tax in three days, but what if we still haven't paid it? By the way, Li You, if we don't pay the tax, it won't affect the young master and the others, right?" Li Quanyi is most worried now.  This is it.  "Master, I'm afraid I can't do what you want. Today, the Ministry of Revenue has handed the reminder notice to Xiao. It clearly states that if the Li family cannot pay all the taxes within ten days, all the officials of the Li family will  He will be removed from office, and Li's house will also be ransacked." As Li You continued to speak, his voice became weaker and weaker, but he had already handed those notices to Li Quanyi.  Li Quanyi used the light outside to look carefully at the reminder notice stamped with the seals of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was clearly written on it and even listed the names of all the officials of the Li family, as if  As soon as the ten-day period is up, the officials will be dismissed from their posts.  The more Li Quanyi looked at it, the more sweat broke out on his forehead. No, there must be no accidents in this matter. "Li You, you can't pay taxes anymore, right? Come back to your house with me."  Dare, we are all lined up there today. If we come back tomorrow, we might be lined up a few blocks back. I have asked a few servants to guard there, and we won't go back tonight," Li You said.  "Okay, but it's cold at night, so you have to be careful." Li Quanyi warned. He must go back immediately and let his daughter find Tian Fenggu again. Last time, she asked for tax exemption. This time, she wanted to pay taxes quickly. This time she should always  Is it no problem?  Think about yourself, what a shame. If you had paid your taxes a few days ago, what would have happened?  For more free novels, please visit ( )
