lied to Kangxi

Chapter 179

When Yu Zhu came back, all the colleagues in the South Study Room, except for the grand scholars who had to put on airs, including Zhang Tingyu, came to congratulate Yu Zhu one after another.

Yuzhu's face was full of smirks, and he said some polite words in cooperation with everyone, just to save face.

The road is chosen by oneself, no wonder anyone!

Yuzhu's goal is actually very simple, a pure minister who is good at leading troops to fight and making money.

The word pure minister is enough to explain everything.To put it bluntly, there is absolutely no need for Yuzhu to have too deep friendship with his colleagues.

The South Study Room is right under the eyes of the old emperor.Those so-called courtiers with good popularity were kicked out without exception.

To put it bluntly, the popularity in Nanshufang is too good, not only is it not a high EQ, but it is a concrete manifestation of a big idiot in the officialdom.

The most core, and also the most centralized central yamen, you have a very close personal relationship with your colleagues, hey, what do you want to do?

Similar to Li Guangdi and Wu Pu, Chen Tingjing and Zhang Yushu, such an incompatible fighting relationship is the state that makes the old emperor most at ease.

Therefore, after Yuzhu entered the South Study Room, he was in a perfunctory way with everyone.

After going down to the government office, Yuzhu would rather go back to the house to tease Xingrui, rather than form a deep personal relationship with his colleagues in the South Study Room.

Before Yuzhu, the supervisors of Chongwenmen were all served by Bao Yi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they did not have the title of imperial envoy.

The emperor, the household department and the head of the House of Internal Affairs can all intervene in the supervision of Chongwenmen at will, and the responsibilities and powers are extremely chaotic.

Now, after Kangxi gave Yuzhu the title of imperial envoy, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could only stare at him.

Supervising Chongwenmen is a part-time job, not a full-time official.It's the same nature as Zhinan's Study Room, it's a kind of dispatch, and there is no distinction in itself.

Because, the errand of Zhinan's study was not exempted.

Therefore, Yuzhu has been writing abbreviations at his desk with a serious attitude of standing on the last post.

It wasn't until lunch was over that Yuzhu bid farewell to Li Guangdi, who was on duty, and went to play chess with the old emperor in Qianqing Palace.

"Old man, I've only been in the South study for a month, isn't it too early?"

In private, Yuzhu seemed very casual, what he did to Tong Guowei at home, he treated Kangxi now.

However, Kangxi is quite rare in his ways, not only ignoring him, but also cooperating with him frequently.

Wei Zhu, the eunuch, stood aside, completely dumbfounded.

"Oh, I've always wanted to get rid of the fang of Cewang Arabutan, but the treasury has no money." Kangxi sighed, and said, "You promised me that you would get back at least 30 yuan if you came to be the supervisor of Chongwenmen. Thousands of silver."

Yuzhu almost laughed angrily, isn't this a rogue?

He just calculated an account for Kangxi in detail, as long as he did it according to his means, the annual tax of 30 taels could be easily pocketed.

In the end, when it came to Kangxi's mouth, it became his promise.

The old emperor is playing a rogue, who can Yu Zhu turn to for reasoning?I can only bite the bullet and admit it.

"Your previous supervisor didn't even have the word "imperial envoy." Kangxi leaned back a little complacently, and changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

Uh, Yuzhu thought about it, and what Kangxi said was indeed quite reasonable.

There is a huge difference in treatment between those who have the word "imperial envoy" and those who don't!
The imperial envoy supervises Chongwenmen, and sees the official senior level.

Even if it is the hereditary prince who has not been replaced, or the elder brother of the prince in person, Yuzhu only needs to bow his hands and salute.

To put it bluntly, Kangxi was really poor.The old emperor himself is not good at making money, and he has a lot of talkative ministers who don't know how to make money. Under pressure, he can only try to use Yu Zhu, a brat.

History is always the same.

This is the same nature as Qianlong's probing Heshen's true skills. Kangxi just wanted to see if it was a mule or a horse?

"Old man, I want the power of the entire customs office. I will set the regulations, appoint committee members, and order the officers. If you agree to me, let alone 30 taels of silver, even if it is 50 taels of silver, I can pay it every year. .”

Yuzhu is not stupid.When the emperor was short of money to spend, if he didn't take the opportunity to bargain for power, when would he wait?

To be honest, if it weren't for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who were not good at making money, why would Kangxi reuse jade pillars?

The so-called house of gold in the book, in fact, cannot change gold.

To put it bluntly, the Confucian officials who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are not as good as Zhao Kuo who is boastful.They will only persuade the emperor to save money and live a hard life by tightening their belts.

The problem is that the Junggar Khanate and the Raksha Kingdom have pressed forward step by step.If you don't have money to fight, you will be in big trouble.

The snowy land is very close to the Junggar Khanate.In case something changes and a big battle is going to be fought, where will the money come from?
No matter who you are, as long as you become a family, you have to worry about the expenses of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

"60 taels, not less than one tael." After Kangxi came to a conclusion half-jokingly, half-seriously, Yuzhu shut his mouth knowingly.

The emperor couldn't say it clearly, but his attitude was obvious, and he acquiesced to Yuzhu to make money.

60 taels, here it comes, one handsome cover one hundred ugliness, get promoted and get rich!
If it doesn't work out, the old emperor will make a new account of the old account, and liquidate the jade pillars together.

Oh yeah!

Yuzhu's treacherous plan has succeeded!

Chongwenmen supervised the yamen, not the yamen commanded by the infantry, let alone the Fengtai camp, but a small yamen that collected taxes.

As long as the sensitive matters of military power were not involved, Yu Zhu would naturally dare to discuss with the old emperor.

On the way back from the palace, Yu Zhu, who was dangling in the official sedan chair, couldn't help smiling.

Kangxi was very face-saving. He clearly knew the benefits of working as an errand and paying food for officials and gentry, but he didn't dare to do it.It's just because I'm afraid of being infamous, which will affect Ren Jun's style.

If we dare not solve the taxation problem fundamentally, it can only be a partial blurb.

Everything is low-grade, except for the high-educated official standard, the ninth elder brother who is good at doing business and making money, is the old emperor's least favorite son.

The Confucian system, fundamentally speaking, hopes that the whole society will remain fixed forever, and naturally reject cheap businessmen.

In fact, the root cause of the cycle rate of the chaos cycle is that after the social class is super solidified, the upper and lower classes completely lose their mobility.

The careerists at the bottom, seeing no hope of peaceful supremacy, rose up immediately.

Li Chuang, Hong Xiuquan, Sun Dapao, all of them are like this!

No agriculture is unstable, no labor is not strong, no business is not rich, these three cannot be neglected!

However, when he was approaching Jialanyan Hutong, Luo Xing'a, the deputy general of the patrol battalion, took the initiative to stop Yuzhu's official sedan chair.

"Second Master, your mansion is full of people standing in front of the main gate, all of them are officials under the Chongwen sect and wealthy businessmen. Alas, it's not easy to drive them away under the bid." Luo Xing'a rubbed his hands, embarrassed The more troublesome news was reported.

Yuzhu understood immediately, after the news spread that he was about to take over as the supervisor of Chongwenmen, those subordinates who were full, worried that they would lose the cornucopia they had already obtained, so they came to pay respects to the pier ahead of time.

What Luo Xing'a was really worried about was that Yuzhu would be upset if he chased away the people who came to give money.

The supervision of Chongwenmen is not just in charge of the taxation of a mere Chongwenmen, but the taxation of all the gates of the Forty-Nine Cities, all of which are under its jurisdiction.

According to the terms of reference, it is equivalent to the head of the tax bureau in and around the entire Forty-Nine City.

It's just that the head of the tax bureau didn't have a tax policeman with a knife, but Yu Zhu's subordinates did.

In this man-eating society, for example, if you dare to evade taxes at the gate of the city, Yuzhu has the right to send troops to seize all your shops and properties outside the city, and even arrest your whole family and put them in prison.

Is it good or bad to make money according to the order?

If you drive your subordinates away before taking office, do you want to lose your good reputation?
After Yu Zhu thanked Luo Xing'a, he changed to the side door and returned to the Long Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, before he could sit still, Li Si'er sent someone to look for him.

Well, Yuzhu simply didn't even change his official uniform, and went straight to see Li Si'er.

As soon as we met, I saw Li Si'er asked him very proudly: "My good son, you have been promoted again? The door was full of people. I climbed up the ladder and climbed the wall to look at it. Good guy, there is a big crowd. The whole alley is packed to the brim.”

Yuzhu simply told Li Si'er about being appointed as the supervisor of Chongwenmen.

When Li Si'er heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "After that, wouldn't it be that wealthy merchants will all come to give me money?"

Yuzhu just wanted to talk about this with Li Sier, so he said with a smile: "Ernie, I will collect their money from now on and give it to you. Think about it, so many people come to give you money , Which should be accepted and which should not be accepted, it is very troublesome."

What kind of business is the most profitable in this world?

Naturally, it is a monopoly business!
With Yuzhu's current power, it is easy for him to use the white gloves of the Lin family to monopolize the business of a certain industry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that as soon as Yu Zhu's lips move, it will be done.

No matter how much money the rich merchants have in their pockets, if Yuzhu does not allow their goods to enter the Forty-Nine City, they will definitely lose the big business with millions of people.

To put it bluntly, Yuzhu is a living ancestor who holds the legal right to harm.

No matter how powerful the big businessman was, when he came to him, he would kneel down and call him grandpa.

"Success. You just took office, so it's better to get less money. It won't be too late when you are familiar with it." As long as Li Si'er can collect money, who cares?

make money?It must be fished.

It's just that Yuzhu doesn't bother to accept bribes.

To put it bluntly, how much money can one get by accepting bribes?
He gentry, He Zhongtang's big family, apart from extortion, embezzlement and bribery, is mainly the result of being good at management.

Li Si'er is still very reasonable, with the tens of 10 taels of silver that Longkodo makes every year as a backing, she is mainly afraid that her son will not understand the market for making money, and will suffer from the unscrupulous officials.

Longkodo's rise to the top depends on his ability to inquire, and on his protective demeanor of corruption and bribery.

Yuzhu has also thought about this issue carefully, if he doesn't try to make money, Kangxi will feel worried about him instead.
