Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng actually felt a little discouraged! However, his character was resolute and courageous, and he immediately cheered up! He knew that this was not the time to break up with everyone, and the instant joy in Zhang Siwei's eyes was also caught in his eyes!
He didn't want Zhang Siwei to expand his reputation among the scholars so quickly, so he said slowly: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy! Then Wu Ninghou has no experience in governing the country at all, and he doesn't know how to reconcile the upper and lower officials. ? You must know that being stubborn will not get you far, why not let Wu Ninghou do it first! When problems arise, he will naturally know how difficult it is to govern the country!"
Everyone present could understand what Zhang Juzheng said. He was clearly implying that everyone should let Liu Haojia get things done first, and then find fault later! Naturally, everyone knew that doing too much would lead to mistakes and not doing right, and with their abilities, it would not be difficult to pick out the bones from an egg, so they all smiled!
They all feel that the chief assistant is still mature! As long as Wu Ninghou makes a mistake, as long as he sticks to his mistakes, he might not only be able to put things back on the right path, but even think about other things!
After Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei reached a tacit understanding, someone would naturally let the news out. After the news spread, there was great joy in the capital for a while. Everyone felt that if the first assistant and the second assistant took action together, then the matter against Liu Haojia should be foolproof this time! However, although the first assistant had other important matters, the second assistant took action personally, which was considered a high regard for him!
Of course, Zhang Juzheng's last sentence is only circulated among qualified people and will not spread easily to the following people. But it was enough to quiet those leading the charge against the tax. Without them taking the lead, the court gradually became quiet.
Except for a small group of people who think they are important, but in fact have no idea about the situation, everyone is watching with cold eyes what Liu Haojia will do.
After the news spreads, the people who dominate the meeting will naturally receive it. After receiving the news, Hu Zhiyu locked himself in the study for a long time, and then began to keep calling people in. Some people left the capital with orders, while others left with letters. It took a full day of work, and it took twenty or thirty people to stop!
At this time, my eyes were bloodshot as I recalled them, my face was extremely ferocious, and I couldn't see the slightest bit of scholarly demeanor at all! I just heard him murmuring: "Liu, I don't think you'll die this time!"
Now Hu Zhiyu himself doesn't even know that Liu Haojia has become his inner demon! Because before Liu Haojia shows his ability, the master will do everything to his detriment! But after he appeared in front of Emperor Wanli, no matter what the Lord did, he would always encounter problems!
And Liu Haojia is the key that absolutely cannot be bypassed! This made Hu Zhiyu extremely crazy! So when he got the chance, he pounced on it, regardless of whether it was a trap or not!
After Liu Haojia submitted the memorial again, he paid no attention to the turmoil in the court. Instead, he ordered a group of people responsible for tax collection to be transferred from the capital and started to organize manpower with them as the backbone. Moreover, he openly established an office at the Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu Office and wrote the "Tianjin Tax Office" in his own handwriting!
When the news reached the capital, the civil servants were furious! But this time they didn't have much reaction. They just gritted their teeth secretly, thinking that when Liu Haojia's accident happened, they would smash this sign with their own hands!
However, not only did this wish not come true, Liu Haojia's tax collectors were quickly organized. This is due to the foundation laid in the capital. The soldiers in charge of collecting taxes in the capital are already familiar with the task, and if they lead the new ones with their old ones, the people below will soon be able to leave the army.
Moreover, when they were in the capital, they had already made relatively accurate estimates for various industries and had a data basis. If you put it here in Tianjin, you just need to find a few typical models to investigate the data, and then downgrade directly. So before the aftermath in the capital had subsided, the first batch of tax collectors had already taken to the streets!
As before, the first tax collectors to take to the streets were handing out leaflets. The reason for collecting the tax, the tax rate and the level of each company are stated on the flyer. There is also a sentence on the leaflet. If you have any questions, please submit a written application within three days after the tax is collected, and we will re-examine it.
After the notice was issued, there was an uproar. People from top to bottom were cursing Liu Haojia for breaking his bones and sucking his marrow! But from the bottom up
If it were calculated, ordinary people would just curse a few words. They knew that their family had made a lot of money following Wu Ninghou, and they should pay appropriate taxes.
The most critical point is that they know they can't defeat the tax collectors who are like wolves and tigers, so they can only bear the pain and pay. And they were also very grateful to Wu Ninghou for arresting the thugs on the street, which saved them from losing a lot of money. They still made money every time they went in and out!
However, those businessmen who believe that they have a good background clearly say that they just don’t pay! Even more fierce people tore the flyers to pieces on the spot! But even so, the tax collectors just smiled and turned around and left, without any conflict.
However, those people became even more arrogant, pointing at their backs and yelling! But they didn't see several businesses from the capital quietly accepting the flyers. The shopkeeper had already carefully calculated how much money to pay according to the documents.
Just as the tax collectors were distributing leaflets door to door, many people suddenly appeared in and around Tianjin. Each of these people were dressed like the lowest class of people, but they actually had the leisure to wander around the city when they should be working around.
There were not many of them, only two to three hundred people. They followed the tax collectors sporadically. After they finished handing out the leaflets, they hid at the door or in the corner of other people's houses and listened to what the people inside said about the tax collectors. .
After listening for two days, these people quietly disappeared. Then these people appeared in several groups in different villages outside the city, and each reported to one person. And these people will convey the news to the higher level.
Now these people are in a large house in a slum area in Tianjin County, reporting the situation they heard to five people.
It is very incredible that there are big houses where ordinary people live! But when they saw the word "He Gang" written on the plaque on the door, everyone would probably be relieved!
Since its establishment, the He Gang has claimed that it was established to provide food for all poor people, so naturally their headquarters should be placed where the people live. And in order to ensure the effect of being friendly to the people, the wall outside the main altar is only one person high. If anyone wants to jump in, they can easily jump in.
