The Strongest Violent Emperor

Chapter 454: Dongyang County

But Liu Ce will naturally not revoke this right of Jin Yiwei. In China, when the legal system is so sound, corruption still exists. What's more, in Dahan, because of the rapid expansion of power, many officials are old officials of the original country. The talent reserve of Dahan is stretched, and in the absence of suitable officials, Dahan can only let the original officials continue to stay in their original positions.

"Weng Taibei, these are all real, how dare these people be so blatant?"

Liu Ce said coldly.

It turned out that after Jin Yiwei's investigation, many local officials had collusion between officials and businessmen, which caused many local businessmen to evade at least more than 40% of the tax.

Of course, 10% of this went directly into the pockets of local officials.

Upon learning this, Liu Ce suddenly became furious.

No wonder, Liu Ce discovered that the big man's territory is getting bigger and bigger, but he often gets stretched. Making ends meet. It turns out that there is still such a situation.

This angered Liu Ce.

In his previous life, Liu Ce still knew the history of China very well. Knowing that taxes cannot fall on the peasants. Commercial taxes must be collected and must be collected again.

But in the original big man, just like Liu Ce's previous life in China, he collected agricultural tax and poll tax. This is putting the cart before the horse. It hurts the country.

Ordinary people have meager income, why should they pay the same taxes as those rich people? The so-called fairness is the greatest unfairness.

Therefore, Liu Ce gave up agricultural taxes early, reduced taxes for farmers, and collected the heaviest taxes on businesses, while doing business in other countries does not need to pay taxes.

Originally, businessmen from other countries all united to boycott Dahan. Some business alliances even announced that they would not enter Dahan to do business and would not allow Dahan businessmen to enter these countries. In the beginning, this did have a big impact on the big man. However, as the Great Han attacked the major countries and destroyed countless countries, the boycott of these business alliances had no effect on the Great Han. Break without attack.

After all, the people do not fight with officials.

But these businessmen are naturally unwilling to give up like this, after all, businessmen are profitable. They are naturally unwilling to give in so easily. Therefore, he bought a lot of heavyweight officials from Dahan with a lot of money, and asked them to speak for these businessmen.

Sure enough, many officials of the Han Dynasty were benefiting, and they were indeed seeking advice from Liu Ce, hoping that Liu Ce could not compete with the people for profit. But in the end Liu Ce vetoed it. Several officials were even killed in court.

Liu Ce forced the commercial tax to continue.

Originally, Liu Ce thought that the implementation of this business tax would allow the big man to get a lot of tax, but he didn't want these businessmen to be so unsure of good or bad. Even dared to bribe local officials. Tax evasion. This made Liu Ce extremely upset.

"These officials, don't you think that our swords are not sharp? They are not afraid of death?"

Liu Ce's expression was extremely indifferent.

"Weng Taibei, tell me, why are these officials not afraid of death? Is the salary I paid them not enough for them to live?"

Liu Ce looked at Weng Taibei standing in front of him and asked with a cold expression.

"The emperor, 100% of the benefits are enough to make people crazy. Although you put forward the so-called high salary to nourish integrity, people's desires are unlimited."

Weng Taibei's stern way.

"Yes, 200% of the benefits make people dare to take risks. This time you did a good job. I have many rewards."

Liu Ce was satisfied with Weng Tai.

Liu Ce is still very satisfied with Weng Taibei. Weng Taibei took office only a few days, and he has done such an outstanding job, accomplishing what Liu Ce needed him to do.

"Go down, hand over all these officials and merchants to Tingwei Mansion. Kill those who should kill, behead the ones who should beheaded."

Liu Cedao.

"Yes……"

Weng Taibei is gone.

Liu Ce looked at the secret fold in his hand with a solemn expression.

Dongyang County?

According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, this Dongyang County has a big problem. Three consecutive county guards were killed. There is a big problem here. But because Jin Yiwei just infiltrated out, so at this moment, Jin Yiwei couldn't get close to Dongyang County.

Although Jin Yiwei has no evidence, Weng Taibei's attitude is actually very clear on this secret. There are big problems in this Dongyang County.

"Wang Chun, call me Cao Zhengchun."

Liu Ce gave orders to Wang Chun who was beside him.

"According to the purpose."

Wang Chun nodded and left soon.

Immediately Cao Zhengchun walked in from outside and came to Liu Ce's face.

"The slave servant Cao Zhengchun pays respects to the emperor."

Cao Zhengchun's respectful way to Liu Ce.

"Cao Zhengchun, look at this!"

Liu Ce threw the secret of Dongyang County in front of Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun was slightly confused, but he picked up the secret fold and took a closer look. As soon as he finished reading it, Cao Zhengchun's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is going to be there. We don't know at all in the East Factory."

"Check it now, the more clear the better. You Jinyiwei must cooperate well in the future, otherwise I will take you as a question."

Liu Ce said to Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun's expression changed. When the other party asked for cooperation before, he was a little negligent. He didn't know if the other party had spoken ill of him in front of the emperor. If there is, it will be a little troublesome.

"According to the purpose."

Cao Zhengchun lowered his head.

"Go ahead."

Liu Ce didn't say much, just glanced at Cao Zhengchun faintly. He believed that the other party would understand what he meant.

Although Jin Yiwei is powerful, but after all he appeared not long ago, he is still a bit unfamiliar to the whole big man, so this time, Liu Ce naturally needs to let Dongchang do it. After all, Dongchang's penetration into Dahan is more comprehensive. You can give yourself more information.

Gan Mingzhu, Wang Xiruo, Lu Xi, and Liu Ce are sheltering from the summer heat by the Biguang Lake.

As the weather gradually gets hotter, Liu Ce and others will go to Biguang Lake outside the Han Palace for vacations from time to time. This Biguang Lake is now about to become the palace of the great man.

Every night in Biguang Lake, the setting sun shines on Biguang Lake, with blue waves and gurgling fish patterns. This is a rare beauty. Hence the name.

The Biyou Palace by the Biguang Lake is also a rare leisure place for Liu Ce during this period.

Three days later

Cao Zhengchun finally came back.

"Cao Zhengchun, how is the investigation?"

Liu Ce looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked.

"The emperor, there is a major discovery. This is the result of our investigation."

Cao Zhengchun's expression was extremely solemn.

Liu Ce opened the secret paper and read it carefully, and finally understood everything.

It turned out that Liu Ce thought that Dongyang County had some enemies mixed in. However, it now appears that internal factors are at fault.

Dongyang County is also a wealthy place in Dahan. Because it is not only near the sea, but also close to the Xiyang dynasty, which is known as the richest dynasty in the entire Huawu continent. Therefore, Dongyang County is a place with very developed commerce. Because every year merchants from the Han and Xiyang dynasties regarded this place as a transit point.

Moreover, there is one of the top ten ports in the entire Dahan, even if this port is among the top ten ports in Dahan, it is also among the best.

So, looking at the whole secret book. Liu Ce suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Liu Ce also asked people to check the taxation of the entire Dongyang County to Dahanjiao. It doesn't seem to be a big problem. But after a careful inspection, there is a problem.

For the previous two consecutive years, Dongyang County had paid more than three times the tax compared to the surrounding counties. It seems that this is completely normal. However, this is Dongyang County, as the hub of the entire Han and Xiyang dynasty. This tax is actually not enough.

The trade population of Dongyang County alone is more than ten times that of other counties, and there are 300,000 people including merchants all the year round. Just paid this tax. If it weren't for Jin Yiwei to go and investigate, Liu Ce would really be kept in the dark.

Of course, whether Dongchang played a disgraceful role in this is not what Liu Ce can know.

Although the East Factory does not have law enforcement powers, it also has supervisory responsibilities.

Of course, Liu Ce didn't doubt Cao Zhengchun. However, the only people in the East Factory who were 100% loyal to him were the three thousand backbones summoned at the beginning. But it is naturally impossible for the 3,000 Dongchang factory guards to be responsible for monitoring the entire Dahan. Later, the East Factory will naturally expand its strength. However, with the crazy skyrocketing of Dahan's territory, the power of the East Factory has also expanded rapidly, and the staff is uneven. This is also a normal thing.

According to the information from Jin Yiwei's investigation, the biggest suspect was Yuan Hai, a county lieutenant of Dongyang County.

Because this Yuan Hai is a native of Dongyang County. When the Great Han conquered Dongyang County of the Sirius Kingdom, this Yuan family was the first to surrender. In order to ease the local situation as soon as possible. Liu Cecai chose to rely on local people to govern the local area. Then after Pingding conquered the entire Sirius Nation, because the entire big man expanded too quickly. Coupled with the fact that the local situation has been very stable, Liu Ce did not change local officials. Never thought that this thing happened now.

The county lieutenant is a local. But the county guard has always been an official sent by Dahan.

Under normal circumstances, it seems that the big man needs to control the local army more. But for Liu Ce, governing local officials is the top priority. The army can only fight the bandits when there is no enemy, but under the control of the Han army, all bandits have long since fled.

Therefore, without bandits, the army is a display. Moreover, the local county lieutenants were only 10,000 ordinary soldiers, so Liu Ce naturally didn't care, nor was he afraid of the other party's rebellion.

But now the other party actually gave himself moths. This made Liu Ce very dissatisfied.

The first county guard died abruptly.

The big man didn't have much doubt, thinking it was dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, the county guards sent by the second and third big men were killed violently. This naturally aroused Jin Yiwei's suspicion, and only then did Weng Taibei's secret fold this time.

Especially the third county guard, who was once the county guard of Huaiyuan County, has a very good official voice. When he was transferred, the local people were still very reluctant. They never thought that this time they would also die.
