After hearing what Qian Gong said, Zhao He felt a thrust in his heart and subconsciously covered his chest: "I can pay 1,400 taels of cloth back to me?"

Zhao He was also very concerned about this matter. Money was not the key. Without the cloth, he had to prepare the stock again.

"Of course not!" Qian Huan said with a smile: "Once an illegal business of items that do not match the business certificate is found, the goods will be confiscated and a fine will be imposed. One thousand four hundred taels is just a fine, and those cloths are confiscated."

After hearing this, Zhao He felt that his heart was about to stop.

"Can you use money to redeem it?" Zhao He said gritting his teeth as he looked at Qian Huan.

Qian also shook his head: "In order to avoid the situation of inciting and seeking bribes for personal gain, illegally operated goods cannot be redeemed once they are sealed." He reached out and placed the document in front of Zhao He, Qian also smiled and said, "If there is no problem, sign it here!"

Although he was cursing in his heart, Zhao He still trembled and picked up the pen and signed.

After getting the document, the money smiled and said, "Zhao Dong family, you can follow our tax service to pay the fine. After the fine is paid, you can come and apply for a business certificate. After issuing the certificate, you can open it again."

The money even pinched his nose and paid the fine, and then took the people away.

The incident of paying fines and confiscating goods spread throughout Daxing County like a gust of wind. The Taxation Department became notorious in an instant and was called the "death money" yamen. Countless people cursed and hid when they saw the tax service.

His reputation is even worse than that of the Jinyiwei, and he is simply disgusted by people.

Despite this, the closed shops in Daxing County still paid the fine and then opened it again. The gambling houses also paid the fine, but their goods could not be confiscated, so they took the fine directly.

According to the Taxation Department, gambling houses, brothels and restaurants are all entertainment venues.

Because there is no actual goods, fines are imposed according to the scale, such as how many prostitutes are in the brothels and how many gambling tables are in the casino. Depending on the scale, the fines that need to be paid are different.

Deyilou and Ruyiju two largest casinos and brothels. Deyilou needs to pay a fine of 5,600 taels, while Ruyiju is 3,400 taels.

Although the fine was paid, the matter was not over yet, and this matter blew into the capital like the wind. Countless people began to be frightened. You should know that the tax department is not a yamen in Daxing County, but a yamen in the whole world.

The sign of the Daming Taxation Department yamen is hung under the Ministry of Revenue. Daxing County has done this, what about Shuntian Mansion?

For a time, this incident was rampant, and the memorials impeached the Taxation Department were sent to the Da Nei. In their memorials, the Taxation Department levies heavy taxes and competes for profit with the people, which is a very serious crime.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun looked through the memorial in his hand, his expression on his face remained unchanged, and his emotions did not fluctuate. He has seen many impeachment memorials over the years, and there are many memorials that impeach him. Now this can only be regarded as a small scene.

"The Emperor, several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Six Ministers of the Ministers have arrived."

Zhang Jing bowed respectfully in front of Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun nodded, picked up a memorial in his hand, and then knocked it forward. He was worried about the court today. Now that people have arrived, we will officially start doing this.

The four Cabinet Grand Secretary and the Six Ministers of the Ministry have all arrived, and they also know that the matter discussed today is absolutely small.

Zhu Yijun walked in with a step. After everyone bowed, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "You are all dear, please don't give me a gift!" When everyone got up, Zhu Yijun continued, "I'll find you all dear today, and I'll discuss with you."

"The first thing this is about Feng Jue!" Zhu Yijun glanced across everyone's faces and said.

"I don't even know the title of the Ming Dynasty. My dear friends know that the title of Duke, Marquis and Bo will be no longer at the lower title." Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, but times have changed!"

"As Emperor Taizu, he raised an army to expel the Tartars and supported the world. The meritorious officials also made great contributions and the titles were higher."

"But by this time, the court has not had many foreign wars, so it will be even more difficult to obtain titles. The title should not be easily accepted. I also know that it is difficult to get Li Guang's titles? This has led to the fact that there are not many titles in the Ming Dynasty in recent years."

"For ministers who have made meritorious service, the reward method is to be hereditary military positions, hereditary commander of the Jinyiwei, etc."

"But all my dear friends know that the Ming Dynasty's garrison was ruined. During the Jiajing period, our Ming Dynasty was accompanied by Tartars and Japanese pirates in the south. But can the garrison be reliable? It's not reliable! Even Qi Jiguang and the garrison army cannot win!"

During this period, the deeds about Qi Jiguang were everywhere. Among Qi Jiguang's achievements in his life, the only defeat seemed particularly eye-catching.

But everyone knows that Qi Jiguang can't be blamed. The reason is that the military army is useless.

The deterioration of the garrison army is something that the court knows inside and outside the court. Many people have thought about what to do. The recruitment system is of course the best way to solve it, but the court has no money, so it can only deal with it like this.

The court squeezed out some money, then trained some elite soldiers, and asked them to go when fighting.

"The hereditary commander, I have asked someone to investigate. These people have made military achievements in their fathers, but their descendants are disdainful. Let them command the garrison. The combat power of the garrison can be imagined." Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice: "So I want to replace the rewards of the hereditary military system with titles. I wonder what you all my dear friends think?"

In fact, they had known this news for a long time, and it was not a new thing.

Now the emperor has brought it out and said that there is only one purpose, that is, to finalize this matter.

"Your Majesty, is this title given to you an iron coupon?" Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Personnel, spoke first.

The so-called iron voucher, which is also called the gold medal of immortality. The main function of this thing is to represent the inheritance of the title. If the title is granted, it means that the title can be passed down from generation to generation.

If there is no iron certificate, it means that the title of succession is reduced, and each generation has been reduced by one level.

"Of course, those who have made great contributions to the country will be given an iron scroll!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Wang Guoguang and said with a smile.

Yu Guo gave iron scrolls with great contributions, but if there were no one, they would not give iron coupons. After saying this, everyone would understand. Although Qi Jiguang was granted the title of Marquis of Dingbei this time, he still had no iron coupons, which represented the emperor's attitude.

"I have no objection!" Wang Guoguang stopped speaking after saying this.

In fact, such titles are not only good at sounding good, but also not as good as hereditary military positions.

Hereditary military positions are passed down from generation to generation and can be eaten by their descendants, but hereditary military positions are also military households. If you can't get this hat, you will have a bad status. The title is different. Although the reputation of a nobleman is not good, the status is high.

Although he was surrendered to the title, the marquis' son could still be left with an earl!

It is true that there is no real position, but the meaning of title is absolutely extraordinary. In fact, doing this will also benefit the court. Although it will cost a little money and salary, people should always give them some rewards if they work hard.

Compared to giving hereditary military positions, there are fewer disadvantages in awarding titles. As for the fact that it will harm the countryside after granting titles, it is an isolated case, and it is much easier to deal with.

For those who are in the army, that is a title. Who doesn’t want it from a big-headed soldier to a noble? I guess no one will object.

"I have no objection!"

Neither the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet nor the Six Ministers opposed it, and all voted in favor.

The minister in front of Zhu Yijun was in a very comfortable mood. Isn’t this the result he wanted? Now Zhu Yijun finally understands why many leaders like to use their own people. Even if this person is capable, he cannot use them even if he is not his own.

Because at critical moments, your own people are reliable and you will not have bad things because of some messy reasons.

I have been using these people for so many years and finally achieved results.

In fact, whether it was Shen Shixing or the others present, whether it was a title or a hereditary military post, it had little impact on them. This thing basically had nothing to do with them. Even if they were grateful to their descendants, they would have respect to the Jinyiwei, or they would have been grateful to their Imperial College for studying.

Taking the imperial examination path is the choice of their descendants. They can certainly see the benefits of replacing their hereditary official positions with titles.

Among the people present, there are no pedantic people, and no one will just think about suppressing the generals and ignore the matter. Although these people have all kinds of problems, they still have ideals and ambitions in their hearts.

Chen Xu may have thought a lot, but he has no bottom line. It is his thing to cater to the emperor.

"Okay, then the cabinet will take out a charter to restore the baron and viscount, and reward the meritorious soldiers this time with the title." Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded, "Now talk about the second thing."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun picked up the memorial in his hand and said with a smile: "You all know about the Taxation Department, right?"

Everyone nodded, and of course they knew that this matter was a hot topic during this period.

"What do you guys think?" Zhu Yijun asked after gaze swept everyone away.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Taxation Department is doing well." Chen Xu was the first to stand up and said: "Businessmen value profit, but they have no way of sages in their hearts. If they are not restricted, they will inevitably suffer endless disasters. The Taxation Department's business certificate has been checked and has responsibilities to pursue, which is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

Everyone looked at Chen Xu. This person is really unstable!

Everyone present knew that this incident was not a businessman’s business. Did the Ming Dynasty have simple businessmen? Even if there were, they were still small businesses, and none of them were real businessmen.
Chapter completed!
