Chapter 803 Imperial Decree to Taiyuan Mansion
Zhao Wen stared at the ledger in front of him, his face was so gloomy that water could drip.

Zhao Wen has been doing this for a long time. Zhao Wen has made countless calculations, but he never thought that the bookkeeping method used in Taiyuan Mansion's account book is still the single-entry bookkeeping method that has been eliminated before.

The shortcomings of this single-entry bookkeeping method are clear to Zhao Wen, so in the first year of Qiyuan, Zhao Wen asked the Yizhengyuan to change the bookkeeping method of the whole world to the double-entry bookkeeping method.

Single-entry bookkeeping is far less likely to foster corruption than double-entry bookkeeping.

At present, the Taiyuan Mansion's accounting method is still the single-entry bookkeeping method. As for why it is still the single-entry bookkeeping method, Zhao Wen can figure it out without thinking.

Zhao Wen flipped through the two ledgers on the table and looked at them carefully.

"Hehe, I don't believe it at all if there is no trick in it. If there is no trick, why do you still use the single-entry bookkeeping method?

Moreover, judging from the time on the ledger, it is not a day or two since the Taiyuan government has used the single-entry bookkeeping method," Zhao Wen kept sneering as he looked at the ledger in his hand.

Although Zhao Wen graduated from engineering, he also knows a lot of accounting methods.

Accounting was one of Zhao Wen's elective courses back then, so Zhao Wen could also understand the two books in front of him.

It didn't take long for Zhao Wen to read the two ledgers in front of him almost.

In Zhao Wen's view, the data on the ledger is simply a huge shame.

Every stat above seems to be insulting Zhao Wen.

Although Zhao Wen didn't fully understand these two ledgers for a while, according to Zhao Wen's current observations, there are huge gaps in these two ledgers.

"Go and get the Minister of the Taxation Department, I have some things to entrust to him!" Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai who was standing next to him.

Chen Donglai took Zhao Wen's order and walked outside.

Not long after, the Minister of Taxation, under the leadership of Chen Donglai, walked into the imperial study.

Standing in the imperial study room, the Minister of the Tax Department bowed respectfully to Zhao Wen, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Wen said impatiently: "Okay, the salute will be skipped, I have one thing for you to do now!"

As Zhao Wen spoke, he picked up the two ledgers in his hands and handed them to Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai understood, and took these two ledgers to the Minister of Taxation.

"This is the account book sent from the Taiyuan Mansion. I want your tax department to see what's wrong with it!" Zhao Wen pointed to the account book in the hands of the Minister of Taxation Department and said.

The Minister of the Taxation Department opened the ledger in his hand and roughly glanced at it.

The Minister of the Taxation Department deals with the ledger all day long, so the Minister of the Taxation Department recognized the accounting method of the ledger with just a glance.

"Your Majesty, in the first year of Qiyuan, the Yizhengyuan once issued a policy to make all government agencies in the world change the accounting method from the single accounting method to the re-examination accounting method, but these two methods that your majesty gave to the minister The accounting method of this ledger is still traditional but the accounting method." The Minister of Taxation looked at Zhao Wen and said.

"Aiqing is right. The bookkeeping method of these two books is the single-entry bookkeeping method. The single-entry bookkeeping method has many disadvantages, and it is easy to cause corruption. Take a good look at this ledger to see if you can get rid of the tricks in these two ledgers." Zhao Wen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, these two ledgers are not too many, and the tax department is full of people who are good at calculating in the world. The tricky of these two ledgers, I only need one day to decipher them!" The minister of the tax department vowed Said.

Zhao Wen nodded and said, "If that's the case, then Aiqing should go down and deal with this matter first!"

Zhao Wen still trusts the Minister of the Taxation Department very much. After all, the tax officers in the Taxation Department are basically graduated from college. They have been in charge of tax affairs for so many years and have never made any mistakes.

Looking at the figure of the tax department leaving, Zhao Wen's eyes were full of cold light.

"Let the House of Representatives draft an imperial decree, notify Chen Lin, and tell him that within a month, I will investigate all the matters here, and I will give him whatever he needs. Remember, within the scope permitted by the law He can do whatever he wants." Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai and said coldly.

Chen Donglai didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took Zhao Wen's order and headed towards the Council.

Zhao Wen was really angry this time. According to Zhao Wen's plan, the current Taiyuan Mansion will be the second industrial area after Xuan Town.

After all, Taiyuan Mansion has been taken down for a long time, and all the conditions are very suitable.

In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Zhao Wen invested a lot of money in Taiyuan Mansion.

However, the appearance of these two ledgers now seems to be telling Zhao Wen that all the money invested before was wasted, and all the money invested was embezzled by others.

This feeling is like being played by someone.How can this make Zhao Wen calm?How can I be happy?

A moment later, Chen Donglai brought Zhao Wen's order to the Senate.

In the early morning of the next day, the Council of Representatives sent people to Taiyuan Mansion with the drafted imperial decree.

When doing these things, Zhao Wen didn't let people deliberately conceal them, after all, such things can't be concealed.

Therefore, this matter spread rapidly in Xuan Town.

In particular, the fact that Zhao Wen asked the Council to draft the imperial decree caused discussions among officials in the Council.

In Liu Wenzhong's classroom, Lu Xiangsheng sat in front of Liu Wenzhong, his face full of worry.

"My lord, has His Majesty's imperial decree been issued?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Liu Wenzhong and asked.

Liu Wenzhong sat in his seat without any expression on his face.

"Jiandou, sit down first!" Liu Wenzhong pointed to the chair next to him and said to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng's surname is Lu Jiandou, so there is no problem for Liu Wenzhong to call Lu Xiangsheng Lu Jiandou.

Lu Xiangsheng moved the chair next to him in front of Liu Wenzhong and sat down.

"My lord, are you not worried at all? Things are getting worse and worse, heading towards a place beyond our control!" Lu Xiangsheng said with an ugly face.

"call!"

Liu Wenzhong took a deep breath and said, "Who says it's not? Yesterday, Chen Dong came to my place and asked the Council to draft an imperial decree, so that no matter what method Chen Lin used, he must clear this matter within a month. Check things out.

In the past, His Majesty just talked about it, and there was no imperial decree, so I was not very worried, but this time it is different. With the imperial decree this time, I am afraid that Chen Lin will have nothing to worry about!

However, I think it is impossible for this Chen Lin to be so courageous. He has not yet reached the point of detaining the interrogating officials at will. "

"My lord, this is exactly what I am worried about. Now I am afraid that this Chen Lin will act mischievously in the Taiyuan Mansion relying on His Majesty's imperial decree. Now that Wang Qi is not here, Chen Lin is directly responsible to His Majesty. And this Chen Lin Not a nice guy, I'm afraid something will happen!

Besides, we also have people in Taiyuan Mansion, but why did His Majesty entrust this kind of matter to Chen Lin, why not our people? "Lu Xiangsheng's voice was very low, and his face was very ugly.

When Liu Wenzhong heard this, he glared at Lu Xiangsheng, "You can also say such a thing? Why did you leave it to Chen Lin and not to us? Do you want to explain to you what your Majesty wants to do?"

After being reminded by Liu Wenzhong, Lu Xiangsheng realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"This subordinate made a slip of the tongue, please don't blame me!" Lu Xiangsheng said hastily.

"Okay, okay, who hasn't lost their words yet? Don't say these words again in the future." Liu Wenzhong stood up as he spoke, and walked slowly in the classroom.

Lu Xiangsheng sat there quietly, watching Liu Wenzhong walking back and forth.

"I know what you said, but now that things have developed to this point, it's too late to say anything.

I just don't know how ruthless those officials in Taiyuan Mansion are, and how reckless these officials are in Taiyuan Mansion?
He dared to tamper with the ledger, and for so many years, no one had ever spoken about it.

If the matter this time really angered His Majesty, I am afraid that the development of the matter will become even more uncontrollable.I'm afraid right now, His Majesty will start a killing spree! "Liu Wenzhong stopped, looked out at the sky, his face was full of worry.

Liu Wenzhong's complexion was even uglier than Lu Xiangsheng's. Liu Wenzhong knew Zhao Wen's character very well.

In Liu Wenzhong's impression, what Zhao Wen hates the most is corrupt officials. For corrupt officials, Zhao Wen's methods are often extremely rigid. No matter who the corrupt person is, as long as Zhao Wen knows about it, he is rarely spared by Zhao Wen. of.

Lu Xiangsheng looked disbelieving, "Your Majesty is killing people? It should be impossible, right? For so many years, His Majesty has rarely executed officials, right? Even those officials who surrendered, His Majesty is basically exiled."

Lu Xiangsheng followed Zhao Wen for a relatively short time, so there are many things that Lu Xiangsheng doesn't know.

"How is it impossible? It's not that such a thing has never happened. Back then, some people thought that His Majesty never dealt with officials, and then tried his best. What happened?

The main criminals were basically executed by His Majesty, and the accomplices were basically sent to the frontier by His Majesty.

Almost none were spared by His Majesty.

You know, back then, His Majesty lacked talents. At that time, His Majesty could deal with those officials cruelly, let alone now? "Liu Wenzhong took a deep breath, recalling what happened a long time ago, with a solemn expression on his face.

When Zhao Wen was rising, there were incidents of official corruption among Zhao Wen's subordinates. At that time, Zhao Wen's solution was relatively straightforward, which was to find out and deal with them together, absolutely mercilessly.

It was also after that incident that the officials under Zhao Wen were able to settle down a lot.

"My lord, if the officials of the Taiyuan Mansion are indeed corrupt, His Majesty will deal with them. The subordinates are afraid that the minister in front of the palace will take the opportunity to become a royal guard and take the power that should not be theirs." Lu Xiangsheng said with a worried expression.

Lu Xiangsheng's worry was not unreasonable, that's how Jin Yiwei rose to prominence back then.

"Probably not, His Majesty is a reasonable person, so he probably wouldn't do this!" Liu Wenzhong said.

"Okay, it's useless for us to worry now. Let's do our own thing and see how far the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion can go." After Liu Wenzhong said, he came to the table and held it up. teacup on.

"Oh, that's the only way to go!" Lu Xiangsheng stood up, cupped his hands towards Liu Wenzhong, and retreated.

A few days later, the imperial decree drafted by the Senate was sent to the Si Yamen in front of Xuanzhen Hall.

At the gate of the Si Yamen in front of the hall, Chen Lin and his subordinates knelt respectfully at the gate.

An official stood in front of Chen Lin, holding an imperial decree in his hand, and reading it aloud.

The general content of the imperial decree is that within the scope permitted by the law, no matter what method is used, the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion must be investigated in the shortest possible time.

Chen Lin knelt on the ground, listening to the official's reading, an expression of excitement began to appear on his face.

When Chen Lin was here before, although Zhao Wen told Chen Lin that no matter what method he used, he must investigate all the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion in the shortest time, but Zhao Wen did not give any information about that incident. Chen Lin imperial decree.

Regardless of whether there is an imperial decree or not, the difference here is not small.

Without the imperial decree, Chen Lin would not dare to go too far in certain things. With the imperial decree, as long as things are not too excessive, everything is easy to say.

After the officials finished reading the contents of the imperial decree, Chen Lin respectfully kowtowed several times to the imperial decree, "Chen Lin, welcome the imperial decree!"

Chen Lin raised his hands high.

The official closed the imperial decree in his hand and put it in Chen Lin's hand.

"Lord Chen, don't disappoint His Majesty's expectations!" the official said to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin stood up and said: "This is for sure, I will definitely finish the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion in the shortest time, so that His Majesty won't worry!"

"Since that's the case, Mr. Chen should do his job well. I won't say anything else, I'll go back first!" The official turned and left after speaking.

"Wouldn't your lord have something to eat and drink?" Chen Lin said politely.

The official turned around and said to Chen Lin: "Master Chen, you should hurry up and do what His Majesty told you. I still have something to do, so I won't stay!"

After speaking, the official walked away into the distance, as if he didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour.

After the official's back completely disappeared, Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and his face became gloomy.

"Did the man from Zhai Dafu catch him?" Chen Lin turned around and looked at Xie Yan who was standing behind him.

Xie Yan nodded, "My lord, I caught it, and I'm being held in a secret place now. Just now, my subordinates were going to notify you, but the lord who announced the decree came!"

Hearing this, Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"After I put away the imperial decree, take me to meet Zhai Dafu!" Chen Lin said as he walked towards the yamen,

After Chen Lin stored the imperial decree, he followed Xie Yan and walked outside.
