Chapter 1591: Take it from the people, use it for the people
Chapter 1591 Take it from the people and use it for the people
Let Fan Jianxi send people to guard the direction of Lizhou to the imperial capital, especially those people who were squeezed and dressed in shabby clothes. The rich and tyrannical gentry would not be so blind to the capital to complain.
They obviously have big officials behind their backs, and they can suppress it. If the rich and tyrannical gentry want to live well, it is naturally impossible to stab this hornet's nest.
Seeing that the Dali Temple Minister and the current Prime Minister are also involved, it is no wonder that this matter has been suppressed.
However, since the handwriting belonged to General Qiu, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan found several other letters with the same handwriting and read them.
The content of the letter is roughly that General Qiu not only told Fan Jianxi to press the Lizhou area here, but also instructed Fan Jianxi to do something here, including recruiting troops and horses.
It turned out that those who did not pay enough taxes were not arrested to be used as coolies or to build palaces and temples, but were arrested and charged into the army, and they were also the private soldiers and horses of General Qiu.
It seems that this General Qiu has the intention to usurp the throne.
"Yuebao, look at this." Xue Yan suddenly pointed to the end of the last handwritten letter from General Qiu and said, "Prince Che's housekeeper is mentioned here. It also mentions Noble Bank, so it turns out that behind Noble Bank is the Prince Toru, and behind Prince Toru is naturally..."
Jiang Yue looked in the direction of Xue Yan's finger, and saw the letter at the end:
Laibao Qianzhuang, don't you think about it, didn't your uncle tell you that behind Laibao Qianzhuang is Prince Che, behind Prince Che is the emperor, that is actually the emperor's bank, you dare to attack it? It is also thanks to your uncle who is the steward of Prince Che's mansion, and you grew up with him. He treats you like a son. Even if you don't tell me, he will help to keep the news here from Prince Che's knowledge. Otherwise, there are so many semicolons of Noble Banks in the Lizhou area, and what you have done in the Lizhou area will not be heard by Prince Che?
"So, Prince Toru has nothing to do with this matter." Jiang Yue concluded.
"Yes." Xue Yan nodded. "This net is really big enough. Two of the three people with high power are involved in it. Although Prince Che is not in it, his housekeeper is in it. This can be suppressed, and Shi Yuan is completely unknown to him. , it's not a strange thing."
Naturally, Jiang Yue also basically figured out this matter. She knew how big the net was and how many officials it had. She didn't say anything else, but said: "The current Prime Minister has a handle in Qiu Pusheng's hands, so he will help and cover up this. Let the emperor Shi Yuan know about it. No matter what he has in Qiu Pusheng's hands, we don't need to check it. When Shi Yuan gets these, he will naturally send someone to check it out himself. Those who are punished, those who are innocent will not be wronged. Those who can rule the world must have the courage to do so.”
"Yeah." Xue Yan nodded, feeling the same way.
Then Jiang Yue put the small wooden box and the things on the bookshelf into the space. These are all evidences, and it is best that they fall into the hands of Shi Yuan.
"Put those big wooden boxes in, too," Xue Yan said, "in case Fan Jianxi wakes up and finds that the back-up he left behind is gone. Those who are suspicious, want to run away with them. These will also be included in the future. Give it to Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan can reduce or exempt 20% of the tax for the common people, so that every common person can only pay a low tax, which will surely be taken from the people and used for the people.”
Jiang Yue thought so too, nodded naturally, and then put all the big wooden boxes in the secret room into the space.
