Tax evasion is a rare situation for merchants in the Song Dynasty. After all, the Three Sessions of the Song Dynasty have a great supervision of taxes, but in the face of such a huge deal as the wealthy families in the Dongcheng City, they are still a little helpless.

The only way is to thoroughly investigate the account books and transactions, but there is no way to thoroughly investigate them in normal times. These businesses only need some ordinary means to make the three departments investigate without any evidence.

But now it’s different. When the Dongcheng wealthy houses changed hands, all the accounts were sealed off immediately. The reason is very simple, because they can only trade after they are closed, so the accounts must be kept.

The three departments have the right to investigate Guanzhang's business names. This is a way to stop the business from evading taxes at the end. At this time, the account check will often have unexpected results.

The Dongcheng wealthy family's business fell like this. They forgot that Sansi had been keeping a close eye on them, and they knew their illegal things well, but they just lacked an opportunity.

A large number of officials from the Sansi moved into the business names that were already official and Cai Ji. They were not checking their current owners, but their previous owners.

This time, the three departments under Bao Zheng's leadership was "large-making". The officials of the three departments in the Shendu City and Tokyo City acted at the same time. Not only the three departments, but the two cities also cooperated with the city patrol department.

The huge abacus was placed on the cart. The people called this huge abacus "dragon boat abacus", which was three feet tall and three feet tall, and the height of a two-story building!

This thing is often used by the three departments to calculate national treasury at the end of each year. This time it is taken out to deal with the vast number of accounts.

All the accounts of the Song Dynasty were changed to loan accounts, which was more convenient and clear than the previous four-pillar list.

As long as there are notes, you will not be afraid of not finding loopholes. The three departments check not only this year's account books, but also all the account books of previous years must be checked.

This was a comprehensive investigation of the Dongcheng nobles, and the Dongcheng nobles only realized that the disaster was coming.

There is a saying among the merchants in the Song Dynasty, "There is no time left, and there is a Yan Luo Lao Bao!" Even if you don't go to the underworld, you will meet the living Yan Luo Bao Zheng.

Originally, Bao Zheng was a selfless person when he was in Kaifeng Prefecture. His backbone was said to be harder than iron, and he could not tolerate a grain of sand after he arrived at the Sansi. As long as he found out that there were tax evasion, no matter whether it was a royal relative or a noble family, he would have to pay the price.

He saw the national treasury of the Song Dynasty more strictly than his own treasury. He tried his best to advise and demand heavy sentences, and even refused to let Cai Ji go.

In many merchants, Bao Zheng is a "iron pea" that cannot be cooked or smashed. There is nothing else except enforcing the law on duty.

As the envoy of the three officials, Bao Zheng hurriedly left after participating in the meeting hall of the ministers.

Even if the other husbands tried to keep him, it was useless. Fan Zhongyan looked at Bao Zheng who had left in a hurry and sighed helplessly and said to the others: "Bao Gong is going to the East City Supervisor, and you can't keep him."

Yan Shu, who was next to him, said with some dissatisfaction: "The wealthy families in Dongcheng have completely lost. The verification of the three departments is inevitably felt that it was instructed by the officials. Although the public is resentful, it makes people feel that the officials are a little bit unkind. These nobles are all after the founding of the country. Once they are founded, they will inevitably be dismissed from office and get the title. In this way, will our Song Dynasty be exhausted after the founding of the country? Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine to give them a rich life, and now it is contrary to the rules!"

Yan Shu's thoughts are also the thoughts of most people. Since the Dongcheng wealthy families have completely destroyed the skin, there is no need to punish them too severely. In this way, the officials will not be able to hold on their faces, and even Taizu's faces will not be able to hold on.

Fan Zhongyan shook his head: "The official move is not an exaggeration. You have not seen some things. You are secret reports sent by the Imperial City Department and the Black Hand. Among them, there are reports sent by the secret cavalry formed by the official. If you still think that the Three Officials' actions are inappropriate, you can submit a memorial to the official family. I will report to you."

After Fan Zhongyan finished speaking, he put the document in his arms on the table. Ouyang Xiu, who was the Minister of Rites, picked it up without hesitation and read it: "It was found that the disaster of the Maitreya religion in Baiyun Temple was not related to the Daxiangguo Temple. The Buddhist temple in Daxiangguo Temple was often entrusted by the great men of Dongcheng and gave it countless gold and silver. Two units of the Xuanyi Army on Qinghai Road commanded the rebellion against the Song Dynasty, smuggling armour goods and Tubo, which were also related to the great men of Dongcheng, and the same was true for all previous border quarrels!"

Su Xun was stunned by the side, and looked at Ouyang Xiu in surprise, wondering if he had read it wrong. He brought the document to his hands. He just glanced away and said in a hurry: "It's horrible, it's horrible!"

Bao Zheng nodded and looked around and said, "This matter is really horrifying. The East City nobles are so arrogant. Don't be merciful anymore. The face of the Taizu of the official family is important, but the national law is even more important. We are the ministers of the Song Dynasty and should consolidate the national law. Today there is still important matters to discuss with you. Bao Gong has already known it and left him."

The Central Academy is the highest civil servant institution of the Song Dynasty. It is also the official office of the six ministers. The meeting hall is rarely opened, but every time it is opened, it is a matter of confidential matters, just like the Military Affairs Office.

This time, the prime minister, Fan Zhongyan, was presided over by Princess Fan Zhongyan, and the discussion was naturally not a trivial matter. After Fan Zhongyan said "It is related to the Tubo Plateau", everyone knew that the government was going to attack Tubo.

The Song Dynasty endured the attack on Tubo for a long time. In fact, as early as last year, someone had submitted a memorial to attack Tubo, so that there would be no war in the northwest of the Song Dynasty.

Many people know that the only disaster in the northwest of the Song Dynasty was Tubo. The once divided Tubo was not scary. The Song Dynasty only needed to adopt strategies to win over and divide it so that Tubo would never pose a threat to the Song Dynasty.

But now, Tubo is completely unified under the leadership of Jiaosiluo. This is the situation that the Song Dynasty most reluctant to see.

It is not unreasonable that some people proposed to use troops to Tubo before. The knowledgeable people of the Song Dynasty have long discovered that Tubo would pose a threat to the Song Dynasty.

Most of the threats to the Central Plains dynasties in history came from nomads in the north. It was not until the unified Tubo in the Tang Dynasty that caused devastating trauma to the Han Dynasty. Since then, people have learned that Tubo on the plateau is also an intractable existence.

After Zhao Zhen pacified the northern grassland, the only thing that would pose a threat to the Central Plains was the plateau Tubo. Jiaosiluo was not a fool, on the contrary, everything he did was strengthening the power of Tubo.

So much so that the Tubo now surpasses the Tubo under Songtsen Gampo to a certain extent.

The Tubo in Jiaosiluo is a Tubo. The fanatical belief makes Tubo a paradise for monks, and even the common people in Tubo are excited about Buddhism.

For them, Buddha was the one who saved all beings, and the Central Plains expelled Buddhism and became a symbol of depravity.
