"you……"
Wu Weiye's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard. He didn't expect that Yang Shicong's character was so low. He was really a despicable person. Only today did he see his true face. Even if you take a step back, saying that you can't clear yourself of the crime of embezzling huge amounts of money is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself.
"You want me to release Chen Biqian, so I have to release him? If you ask me to investigate Wu Weiye, I have to investigate him? Yang Shicong, who do you think you are? When did it become your turn to point fingers? You really let me The palace is impressed! Do you still know your surname? Having an official like you in the court is really a blessing to the Ming Dynasty! The man was taken away to prison and sent to Shandong after the verdict. He drove back to the palace. The three beloved ministers You can go back and rest! All supervisors should take this as a lesson. From now on, you should not be used by bad people, and you should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. If you do it again, you will be severely punished!"
If he is not taken away and allowed to talk nonsense here, even the chief minister may be investigated soon. Any official whose name he knows will be identified by him as an accomplice of the moth.
"Your Highness is wise!"
If the prince had not dismissed everyone, Xue Guoguan would not have wanted Yang Shicong to continue to slander Shengcong. Since the prince already hates him so much, it's useless for him to say anything. Furthermore, it is empty talk and no evidence. What you say is all nonsense and no one will believe it.
When the plan failed, Yang Shicong didn't curse loudly, he just shouted "Your Highness is aware of it". Because this guy's bones are very soft, he is afraid of death and pain, and he cannot bear the consequences of insulting the prince. He didn't want to go to the boundary between Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If he was caught, he might even have to vomit out what his grandfather knew.
Yao Ji returned to his own territory and immediately met several pillars of the country who had been waiting here for a long time - Fecal Valve!
You can ignore their existence, but you can't ignore their taste!
Because this is a group of men standing at the top of the shit chain!
"Cao Min pays homage to His Royal Highness, and wishes His Highness a thousand years! A thousand years! A thousand years!"
According to the instructions of the prince, Yang Jinchao summoned the four famous dung merchants in the capital, namely the Zhang family in the east of the inner city, the Liu family in the west of the inner city, the Sun family in the east of the outer city, and the Li family in the west of the outer city.
The four families divided their territory roughly according to the central axis of the inner city and the capital, and their subordinates included dozens of dung merchants and thousands of dung men. If they gathered together, the scene would be so grand, and the mellow taste would reach straight to the heaven!
The dung traders don't understand military affairs, but they also know that the imperial court has been using troops for a long time, and the treasury is empty. The emperor is frowning. Now that the prince is in charge of the country, the situation will not be much better.
I just heard that the prince ordered the seizure of the properties of more than forty nobles in the capital yesterday. Is it possible that the prince will take action against businessmen like them today?
If it is true, then it is better to follow the good deeds and donate some money directly to avoid losing money and avoid disaster, so as not to end up with a tragic end of family ruin.
Yaoji did not let those businessmen who made "Xiangjin" get away immediately, but scolded him with slight dissatisfaction: "I patrolled outside, and what I saw was almost the same as what my subordinates reported! The people dumped filth at will. Things are everywhere on the street corners and roadside, and no one cleans them up. They pile up, causing the stench to the sky, the breeding of mosquitoes and flies, and the rampant epidemics. When I went out, I almost became sluggish from the smoke. If it rains continuously, the whole capital will be affected. It’s such a huge dung dump! In the summer, it becomes even more unbearable. If things go on like this, without the Donglu attacking, the people and animals in the capital will disappear on their own. Do you think you are guilty?”
Madan!
If I didn't have a special car when I went out, I would easily step on shit when I walked out!
The most disgusting thing is that it's not a dog's, but a human's!
They are hard to guard against, they are everywhere, and they are more terrifying than landmines.
There are only so many landmines, and laying them is time-consuming and costly.
This thing is so good that thousands of them will be born overnight, and there will be an endless supply...
"Cao Min is guilty!"
The four major dung merchants didn't know whether the prince was just making a random excuse or if he was really angry with him because of this matter.
If the prince stepped on feces when he was out of the palace for inspection, it would be difficult to keep the family safe without spending a lot of money today.
If it were him, he would be furious. Since the prince has already been punished, it is better to bear the responsibility directly.
Yao Ji was indeed disgusted by the special smell outside, and felt very unhappy. He replied coldly to the dung bosses: "Convincing guilt is not just verbal talk!"
"Cao Min is willing to donate five thousand taels of silver to atone for his sins!"
"Cao Min is also willing to receive the same amount of money!"
"Cao Min..."
Speaking of this, anyone who is not a fool businessman knows that he has to take the initiative to pay for it. If he doesn't pay for it, he will lose his head.
"What do you think means that this palace is taking advantage of the inspection to blackmail you?"
Even if I collect your money, I won't let you get the slightest clue.
"Cao Min would never dare to have such evil thoughts!"
“Cao Min’s donation is sincere!”
"Cao Min's actions only show his regret!"
"Cao Minwei is truly ashamed of His Highness, and I hope His Highness will do the right thing!"
If the prince accepts the money, then the shitheads will feel at ease.
If you don’t accept it, then it’s too little.
Five thousand taels per person, a total of 20,000 taels, more or less, enough for me to eat some small dishes every day, get some fresh toys, and buy some beautiful new clothes for the giant ball girls around me. It would be a bit unkind to squeeze out more profit and water. After all, everyone is engaged in the fragrant "gold nugget industry".
"Since you are so sincere, I will do whatever it takes!"
Yaoji will not say that he will accept your money, nor will he leave any notes as proof for these people.
I have taken boxes of silver. You have to thank me. Otherwise, let alone continue to work in the capital, even breathing is a luxury.
"Your Highness is considerate of Cao Min!"
"Your Highness is kind and charitable!"
"Cao Min is so grateful!"
"Cao Min kowtows to thank the Holy Grace!"
For the four big turds, no matter what the prince said, as long as he agreed to take the money, the lives of the whole family could be saved. The person holding the hand is short-handed. No matter how young the prince is, he will not fail to understand this truth.
"Okay, come on down and give me a seat!"
Each person spends 5,000 taels of silver to buy a seat at the Prince, which is considered a VVVIP level ticket. However, the number is limited and admission is by invitation only. For the rich, it is still affordable. Besides, you can listen to the Prince at a close distance. The teachings are definitely beneficial to the body and mind...
"I came to you today not to punish you. I was greatly disappointed by what I saw and heard during my patrol today. The capital is an imperial capital, and it should be clean and tidy. However, the streets are surprisingly dirty, with lots of human and animal feces. Yes! Yesterday, the Imperial Palace climbed high on the mountain and looked far away. It was really a wonder of our Ming Dynasty that we could see things like dung heaps! It is not yet midsummer, but it is so shocking. If the plague is rampant, it will definitely be like you. Inability to remove feces has nothing to do with it!"
A few years later, the great plague that killed hundreds of thousands of people in the capital was closely related to the current poor sanitary situation. If it was not severely rectified, there was no guarantee that the same mistakes would not happen again, thus greatly weakening the capital's defense capabilities.
It is impossible to ask Yaoji to spend money, especially on health. This is a bottomless pit deeper than military pay. There are millions of people and animals in the capital. How can the prince manage them on Rila, Yela and Tiantian?
It's better to let the scumbags provide money, people and efforts. It is more appropriate for me to supervise here. As long as there is a problem in someone's jurisdiction, I can fine him openly, counting two at a time, and it will be fined in a year. Tens of thousands of taels, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
"The filthy situation in the capital must be eradicated. As dung dealers, you should serve the imperial court. I order you to build a number of public toilets, which are 'public latrines', in your respective jurisdictions for free use by the people. You will sell the items on your own, and there is no need to pay taxes on the silver earned. However, you must ensure that the areas under your respective jurisdictions are clean and tidy. I will send people to conduct random inspections from time to time. If there is any perfunctory behavior, you will be fined!"
There is no place in the three-thirds of an acre in the capital that idiots would not dare to attack. They would even dare to lay landmines at the base of the city wall.
Before fighting, officers and soldiers must clear the mines in their defense areas to avoid stepping on them themselves...
"Your Highness, the capital city is extremely huge. If we rely on Cao Min to do this, it may be difficult to sustain!"
"Yes, Your Highness, the capital city has a population of one million, and our manpower is nowhere near that!"
Listening to what the prince said, the dung bosses are not fools. They made a calculation in their minds. If they want to keep the streets clean, they must build a large number of public huts. This will cost a lot of money, and they cannot charge the common people. A dung boss Everyone was in pain.
Although the things in the public hut belong to you in the end, that will happen later, and your initial investment will be too high. The ratio of input to output is obviously asymmetrical. It would be great if we could escape from the past.
Yao Ji said with a serious face the future prospects of the four dung valves: "You have two ways to go. The first way is to do what I say honestly! The second way is to take this The plan is to outsource it to other dung dealers and support them to become bigger and stronger, eventually squeezing out four of you and others, and you will have to pay 30% of the silver in taxes and fees!"
In short, as long as I supervise the country for one day, you will no longer be able to earn money without paying taxes.
The tax rate of thirty times has been changed to tax three of ten, and the tax rate has been increased by nearly ten times. I am not afraid that you will not kneel down and beg for mercy.
It’s okay to take the second route, but there’s no guarantee that one day a group of guards in uniform will raid your home, and the charge will naturally be tax evasion!
"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this!"
"Cao Min has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"
"What His Highness said is very good, Cao Min is willing to take the first path!"
"Cao Min is willing to comply with His Highness's order and build this public hut!"
In a big fight against the dynasty, officials will be killed with knives, while miners will be slaughtered for fish and meat. You can kill them any way you want.
Businessmen have been playing tricks on both sides and trying their best to evade taxes and fees, but once they are targeted by more powerful guys, they are nothing more than a group of fat sheep.
