- It has been two months since Zhao Han received the case report.
Moreover, this is only the result of the preliminary interrogation. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion are sending people to conduct a second round of investigation.
So both inside and outside the court felt the emperor's anger. Not the rage of roaring, nor the cloudy mood, but the dark sky, the suffocating air pressure, like when it is about to rain.
"The inspectors in Shaanxi, the west and north roads are rotten."
In the imperial garden, Zhao Han sat by the pond and fished: "From top to bottom, it rots together. Those with real power help merchants smuggle. Ordinary soldiers, take cards from serious merchants. Smugglers who don't have eyes, goods After being confiscated, it was directly divided by the inspectors. It was so rotten that I never dreamed of it."
? Xu Ying sighed: "People's greed can't be restrained if the upper and lower effects are followed."
Zhao Han said: "A few years ago, they were all Datong soldiers, soldiers who could risk their lives to kill the enemy!"
The patrolling soldiers across the country are basically veterans, and only a small number belong to farmers and soldiers recruited on the spot. Among these veterans, only a few are disabled, and most of them are over the age, but have not been promoted enough to retire.
In the event of an emergency, patrol soldiers across the country can be used as a regular army, and their usual wages are not lost to the regular army.
Xu Ying didn't answer the call, it's not convenient for him to comment on the army.
But Zhao Han continued: "I still have some impressions of Li Chun. He is Huang Shun's brother-in-law, a carpenter in Lijia Village. We captured Huangjia Town, and Li Chun, together with several villagers, killed the people in Lijia Village. The evil gentry took the initiative to join the army. The first time he attacked Ji¡¯an Fucheng, Li Chun was already the team leader. We took the eunuchs to cheat the city. Although Li Chun was not by my side, he also led the soldiers to ambush. It¡¯s easy to use, and I¡¯m already qualified to be a teacher.¡±
Xu Ying said: "It's a pity."
Zhao Han suddenly asked: "Is it because I treat the heroes too harshly?"
"It's not considered harsh treatment." Xu Ying said.
? Long before Zhao Han ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the various departments of the imperial court were formally established, and the salaries of officials had already been adjusted.
The salary of officials in Datong is about twice that of officials in Ming Dynasty.
Salaries are not calculated in silver, but in the official price of rice and wheat in the place where they work. Sometimes it is slightly lower than the market price of grain, and sometimes it is slightly higher than the market price of grain, but the overall difference is not too far, so that the disparity in prices and salaries in different places is balanced.
For example, if two officials are at the same level, one is an official in Nanjing and the other is an official in Guizhou, their salaries are the same number of stones, but there will be a huge difference when converted into silver.
If the officials in poor places are psychologically unbalanced, they can save the official ticket and not spend it. After the official in Guizhou receives the official ticket, they can go back to Nanjing and exchange it for grain. Jin can be cashed in Datong Bank across the country.
The official first-rank official of Ming Dynasty has a monthly salary of 87 shi.
The official first-rank officials in Datong have a monthly salary of 280 shi. Calculated based on Nanjing's average annual grain price, the monthly salary is about
200 taels of silver, this is a lot of money, and it is outrageous to pay 16,000 taels for Yanglian silver (annual income).
For example, when Liu Mingchuan was the governor of Taiwan, his salary was 155 taels a year, which was lower than that of officials in Ming Dynasty, but his salary was as high as 10,000 taels!
To raise a fart, you should be greedy and you should be greedy. Officials of the Qing Dynasty liked to go to Sichuan the most.
?Because Sichuan was desolate and uninhabited in the early Qing Dynasty, in order to encourage reclamation, the imperial court had the lowest land tax quota in Sichuan, which lasted until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
The low quota of land tax means that there is a lot of room for exploitation. When Qing officials took office in Sichuan, they all exorbitantly levied miscellaneous taxes to squeeze them out. Being an official in Sichuan for one year is worth working in other places for several years.
Besides, the Conglong heroes of the Datong court not only bestowed land, but also made up for commercial interests one after another. Either the right to operate a mine, or a business franchise license. In order to prevent Xun Chen from disturbing the commercial order, they are generally granted a small-scale terminal franchise license, such as operating a salt shop or tobacco shop in a certain city.
Just like Li Huzhong, he got the right to operate a salt shop in Chang'an County. Nominally only has a 50-year operating period,
But this is only for the convenience of the court to control, and it can be renewed when the time limit is reached. Who will take it back if there is no crime?
There are only a few salt shops in the entire city of Xi'an, and Li Hu occupies one of them, and he can make money lying down every month. Moreover, as the population of Shaanxi grows, there are more and more residents in the provincial capital, and the income of Li Hu's salt shop will continue to increase.
Counting land property, salary, juelu, and salt store profits, Li Huchong's annual income is about 1,200 taels. In addition, there are charcoal fire subsidies in the north in winter, a full set of clothes will be distributed in spring and autumn, and meals in the government office are also free. ?As the population increases in the future, the income of his salt shop will increase, and it is normal for his annual income to double directly.
And this guy is still young, even if he is disabled and becomes an inspection officer, he can still continue to climb up, and it is possible to be promoted to the third rank when he retires.
Such a person, even if he raises ten concubines in private, can fully afford it. As long as you don't rob people's daughters by force, and don't cause anger and resentment, who the hell will investigate him?
"Could it be that I have given in a few more concubines, and the honorable ministers will be able to enjoy it?" Zhao Han asked for no reason.
Xu Ying also replied: "Your Majesty's concubines are not as many as some generals' concubines."
Xu Ying meant something, but Zhao Han didn't ask who it was. This kind of matter is not easy to investigate, and even if it is seriously investigated, no matter the officials or the common people, they feel that the emperor is too mean to the heroes.
Still the same sentence, as long as you don't rob civilian women by force, as long as you like me, civil and military officials have always taken concubines.
Because even if he checked, Zhao Han didn't know how to deal with it, and if he took too many steps, he would easily get hurt.
It is always said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Now Zhao Han's Forbidden City, the number of female officials and court ladies has increased to
3500 people. For example, the Sili Jianjing Factory recruited nearly a hundred people at one time. This is the result of outsourcing the casting and engraving business.
Zhao Han has less than ten concubines so far.
Zhao Han feels that he really likes to enjoy himself more, but he has been trying his best to restrain himself, and has always put people's livelihood first. Even if he is allowed to take the position of Li Hu, no matter how much he seeks pleasure, he will never smuggle ironware abroad.
This incident made Zhao Han feel very tired.
With one or two generals, he can accept corruption. Shaanxi inspectors, involved in one fifth of the case,
This is where Zhao Han is really angry and sad.
"Let's go." Zhao Han threw away the fishing rod.
Xu Ying bowed and said goodbye.
Walking straight back to Kunning Palace, Zhao Han didn't say much, Fei Rulan silently welcomed him in.
"I'll lie down for a while," Zhao Han said.
Fei Rulan called the maid, fanned away the mosquitoes together, and then put down the mosquito net.
Zhao Han said: "You come too, hug and sleep for a while."
Fei Rulan took off her outer shirt and boarded the boat, persuaded: "Your Majesty is too tired, it's time to rest for a while."
"Yes." Zhao Han responded.
It's really just taking an afternoon nap, the husband and wife hug each other and spend this quiet afternoon with their eyes closed.
The case in Shaanxi is too big, involving the smuggling of ironware and food, and no one in North Korea, Chinese and Wu dared to come forward to intercede.
The case is still under investigation, and there are too many people involved, and the trial may take a year or so.
The principal culprit in this case, Li Hu, has disappeared, and in the vast Qinling Mountains, no one knows where he is hiding. It is okay to mobilize manpower and material resources to search for a month or two, but it is impossible for the time to be longer. If you still can't find anyone in two or three months, you can only hope that the documents will be captured at sea. Maybe some day people will be able to provide clues.
In a deep forest somewhere in the Qinling Mountains, Li Huzhong became a farmer again. He brought some salt and grain, collected wild vegetables and wild fruits, dug a hole with a waist knife with one arm, and planted the seeds laboriously.
It is the baby that makes him worry. The big beauty lacks breast milk and nutrition is not enough, and there is no pediatrician in case of illness.
He decided to hide for a few months, go down the mountain next spring, come back with a hoe, and get some sweet potatoes and corn seeds. After two or three years of farming in the deep mountains, I returned to Chang'an County by the same route, and went to Shandong to take a boat to Ryukyu or Luzon.
Arrived overseas, everything starts from scratch!
The pampered beauty, carrying the baby on her back, followed Li Huyu's instructions to sow seeds.
"You didn't sow it right, it's too much for one litter." Li Huyu actually still remembered how to farm the land.
The great beauty didn't dare to refute. Her people have been arrested and interrogated, and now they can only follow Li Huchong as a peasant woman in the mountains. Even if you escape, where can you escape? Eating is a problem.
After sitting and resting for a while, Li Hu said to the beauty: "You just wait here, and I will go to the mountain to see the situation."
This guy is very vigilant, even lighting a fire and cooking, he chooses to do it in a cave. Or choose a windy place,
When cooking in a windy corner, the smoke will be quickly blown away by the strong wind.
Li Huyu climbed to a mountain top, chose a big tree to hide it, and took out the binoculars to look around.
To be honest, if you don't use thousands of troops and search one mountain after another for several months, it is impossible to find Li Huyu.
Li Hu has been staying in Qinling, and he will basically not be caught. It depends on whether he will be recognized along the way when he goes out of the mountain.
The main culprit has disappeared, which makes the court lose face!
(?In Qinling, it is basically impossible to get caught. It depends on whether he will be recognized along the way when he goes out of the mountain.
The main culprit has disappeared, which makes the court lose face!
