Except for Qin Meng in the lobby of the Criminal Ministry, almost everyone was stupid.
Where is this? The highest institution in charge of prison sentences in the Great Sui Empire! Regardless of your identity, when you get to this place, you can only be censored, or even slaughtered!
Qin Meng was not good, not only did not have the consciousness of being censored, on the contrary, he was plausible. Impassioned, as if it was not him who was being interrogated, but everyone in the lobby of the Criminal Ministry.
Su Wei began to tremble all over. It wasn't that he had never seen arrogance, but it was the first time he saw someone as arrogant as Qin Meng.
"Huh, Qin Meng, you are so courageous! On the lobby of the criminal department, you dare to roar at the court! Lord Li. Just now, Qin Meng despised my criminal department and didn't pay attention to your criminal department. Here, it's up to you whether to kill the courage of this fellow."
Li Yuantong felt toothache hurt, but Su Wei's words hurt him.
He can live sleekly, can see the wind as the rudder, but when it comes to the face of the Yamen, there is no way out.
According to Qin Meng's behavior, it is entirely possible to fight for a while before talking.
But think about Qin Meng's method, you can't kill him, save him for life, and instead settle accounts with you, it's not fun.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan channeled: "Master Su, don't be angry about everything. Anyway, don't forget, we have the emperor's life."
Su Wei just remembered that he had come here, and it was Yang Jian who ordered a thorough investigation. After a long time, he didn't get any clues, and he was still angry.
Thinking of adjusting his mind to deal with Qin Meng well, Su Wei suddenly thought of something.
This is the yamen of the Criminal Ministry. Li Yuantong was also ordered by Yang Jian to assist him in investigating Qin Meng's fortune. what happened? Li Yuantong didn't take the initiative to help with the interrogation. On the contrary, he was still suspected of pulling his legs back.
Whenever something happens, shrink back and push yourself to the front whenever there is a problem. This is Li Yuan's proper strategy of shrinking his head.
Solvay was a little angry, but he really couldn't send it out at this time.
Before he could deal with Qin Meng, he pinched him first, what else would he do
Su Wei snorted: "Qin Meng. You said you got a lot of property from the Shaofu Supervisor. This matter should be acceptable. However, you privately changed the tax rate and increased it on the basis of the original tax rate. Ten times. I got a lot of money, how do you explain this?"
Qin Meng smiled and said: "Master Su, what you said is fact, but what you know is only one-sided. In the Jingzhao Mansion of the Xiaguan, there are remaining notices, which are clear. Everything is clear. Taxes related to people’s livelihood are all reduced and exempted, and there is a division in the Jingzhao government. It is necessary to assist these people’s biological assets to circulate into the hands of the people as soon as possible. Master Su may not know how many such materials are needed in Daxing City in one day? The tax reduction or exemption for these materials alone is an amount that is unimaginable for ordinary people. This is definitely beneficial to the people, but it is at a loss to the royal taxation. What should be done about the loss? Can't let the court bear it? That, Isn’t it that the lower officials use the court’s profits to buy their own official voice? Since there is a loss, then they have to open up. Long live my lord, who has always ruled the country with diligence and thrift, and hates luxury. Therefore, the lower officials keep their eyes on There are extravagantly consumed materials, silk, spices, and exotic treasures. All are things that only the rich and the rich can consume. These extravagant desires, which are only for the rich, are really harmful to the national economy and the people’s livelihood. Do not impose heavy taxes on them and encourage extravagance. Draw heavy taxes on luxury goods to make up for the loss of tax reduction and exemption of people’s livelihood, and secondly to combat arrogant and extravagant acts. May I ask. Should the officials take the opportunity to accumulate wealth and fill their own pockets?"
Su Wei sneered and said, "You are so clever. Qin Meng, no matter how nice you are, it is an indisputable fact that your Jingzhao Mansion will deduct 10% of the tax collected for your own use. This point, How do you explain?"
Qin Meng said indifferently: "Master Su, about this, you can ask Master Li next to you, this torture office, there are separate government servants on both sides of the lobby, but the court has no appropriation. These small officials are also raised by the mother's father. It needs living expenses. If you don’t give money, let people drink the Northwest wind to live? Mr. Li, there are some things, can’t they be moved to the table?"
Li Yuantong immediately coughed and coughed constantly. Whether it was the yamen or the small officials who did not support the imperial court, they were all confused.
How to make money to support the small staff, everyone showed their magical powers, and the methods were endless.
No matter how tacitly everyone is tacitly using power exchange methods to feed small officials, everyone knows these things, but they must never be mentioned on the table.
"Qin Meng, you dare to argue so strongly! It's not that you withhold taxes and support the small officials in the mansion, it is not an excuse. However, the money you intercepted, not to mention raising the small officials, is to support ten or eight officials. Is it okay?"
Solvay feels that Qin Meng should not be able to quibble. (End of this chapter)
