Because this was the first meeting of Wu Meiniang's return, it lasted for a whole morning, and the meeting ended until the bell at noon.

After the meeting, Han Yi went to the Ministry of Revenue again.

"Mr. Zhang, your Zhang family will definitely not have a good life recently."

When Han Yi saw Zhang Daxiang, he smiled teasingly.

Zhang Daxiang was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "What do you know about Shangshuling?"

Han Yi smiled and nodded and said, "We were still discussing this matter just now."

Zhang Daxiang said: "I really hate the lice. In fact, Daqi doesn't want to do this. And who would have thought that this would be so big that everyone would criticize our Zhang family. This is really outrageous. By the way, how did the court decide?"

Han Yi said: "Officials are strictly prohibited from cutting their hair."

Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "No one in this official is willing to cut his hair."

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is just a gesture, that is, the court is still on the side of the officials, but this hair is the other person, and it is impossible to completely prohibit the people from cutting their hair. This is impossible. Forcibly doing this will only lead to a decline in everyone's trust in the law. What should we do if the situation in your Zhang family happens again? If the craftsmen do not cut it or not, it will be itchy. But if they want to cut it, it will be illegal again. What should we do if the monks do? This will create many unjust prisons. The queen still thinks that we should be treated inaction."

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "This should be done."

Han Yi sat down and said, "But this matter is not under the jurisdiction of our Ministry of Revenue. What we should pay attention to now is the Taiyuan plan. The court has decided to allocate funds to the Taiyuan plan after issuing the currency next year."

Zhang Daxiang said: "We have calculated based on the formula you gave that we can issue five million jin of currency next year."

Han Yi nodded slightly and said, "Give me the information later."

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "Oh, earlier, the Taxation Bureau sent a document, about the fact that there were more than 300 people who found tax evasion in the past two years."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "That's the only one!"

Zhang Daxiang said: "This is already a lot. If you count it, it's only the first year. I think no one dares to commit crimes against the wind."

Han Yi said: "I dare say there is not one in Chang'an."

Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Han Yi said: "Because no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, but many regions cannot feel the determination of the court. There will always be someone to test the bottom line of the court. So I said that 300 people are a little small. I believe that there must be more than that, but our ability is limited and we cannot capture them all. Who are the people involved?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "There are twelve officials involved in it, and the rest are some nobles, big landlords, gentry, and some grain merchants."

"Things to be expected."

Han Yi said: "How the law stipulates, let's do things according to the rules. In addition, if the evidence is conclusive, the list will be given to the Aristocratic Daily and the Tang Daily, and the family background of these tax evasioners will be published, and their credit ratings will be lowered. These will be announced to the world."

Zhang Daxiang reminded: "Is this a little too cruel? Many of them are well-known people. Let's warn them secretly first."

Han Yi said: "But they do all shameless things. If a person doesn't even talk about the most basic integrity, their influence will only destroy the stability and development of the country. They don't want this face, so how much can we help? Just do it."

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone go and arrange it."

Of course, these information are conclusive and cannot be sent to the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhang Daxiang directly sent someone to the Tang Dynasty Daily and the Aristocratic Daily.

The Tang Dynasty Daily naturally doesn’t matter. This was sent by Han Yi, so no matter what it was, it had to be published. However, the Aristocratic Daily was very confused because some of the people above were from Shandong Aristocratic people, so wasn’t this publishing articles to scold themselves?

But when they knew that the Tang Daily would be published, they decided to publish it too.

Because if they don’t publish it, the people will think that their gentry are all birds of a feather and shelter each other. If the gentry Daily takes the initiative to publish it, then they can still separate themselves from those people. That is just their personal behavior and does not mean that our entire Shandong gentry is.

This is the first group of people who evade taxes, but they were actually tax revenue last year, just because the information in ancient times was relatively slow.

Han Yi really did it thoroughly, listing all the information of these tax evasioners, including their names, origins, where they live, where they live, how much tax evasion is. They also include punishments for them, high fines, and lowering their credit ratings. Some people will not even be guaranteed by the court for the next three years. Jinxing and Yuanxing directly put these people on the blacklist, anyway, just to tell everyone not to deal with them. This person has no credit. The most serious thing is to directly confiscate the land and you don’t pay taxes, so the land is definitely not yours.

The Tang Daily and the Aristocratic Daily are both privately owned, and this has been published on this, which shows that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

If this is changed, the court will become uncredible.

The landlords, gentry and businessmen in Chang'an were sweating coldly after seeing this. They had thought about tax evasion, because this was their usual thinking. The landlords were always trying their best to evade tax, because they were considered the ruling class, but they did not dare to commit crimes against the wind. They were also thinking about how to deal with the stamp duty.

As a result, they didn't expect that the punishment would come out.

This is really embarrassing.

Nowadays, people with some status cherish their reputation on the surface, but if they go directly like this, it will be embarrassing to leave home.

They were all secretly grateful that they did not do anything randomly, otherwise they would not be able to stay in Chang'an.

However, scholars support the court in doing this because Confucianism attaches great importance to the issue of integrity. People who do not keep their promises should deal with this.

In addition, everyone is impressed by the Taxation Bureau. Since its establishment, the Taxation Bureau has been very low-key. Most people don’t know how many people there are in the Taxation Bureau or what their names are. But suddenly, more than 300 tax evasioners were revealed, with tax amounts accurate to every penny, and they are not in Chang'an, mainly concentrated in Huainan area. They don’t know how this was investigated.

This led to many big landlords going back to check the tax payment records quickly, for fear that they would forget to pay any taxes. If they were caught like this, it would be a disaster.

This also reminds many people that the most basic integrity must be discussed. The court recognizes your land private ownership and allows you to merge, and you do not pay taxes. That is your wrong thing.

Especially for merchants, this is actually more directed at merchants, because landlords do not need to trade with people frequently. The most serious punishment for landlords is to confiscate land, which is usually a fine. However, merchants need to trade with people every day. If they want to trade with people, they will basically be finished.

The merchants became very cautious now. This kind of mistake cannot be made, because the merchants do not need to pay much tax at the moment, which is really impossible.

This directly leads to a phenomenon that the business of accounting firms is soaring.

At the same time, it also affected another thing, that is, the imperial court issued an announcement that officials were strictly prohibited from cutting their hair. This news did not arouse many people's ideas. Although some ministers were still dissatisfied with this, they were all craftsmen, which was very humble in their eyes. Since the queen and the ministers of the Pujiaoyao agreed, they did not have to compete with these big men for this matter.

......

In a small woods north of the city, four or five figures were seen swiftly passing through, fighting in full swing.

And there were two people watching quietly not far away.

These two are Han Yi and Peng Jing.

Ono has always been protecting Han Yi, but Ono also wants to start a family and start a career. It is impossible to protect Han Yi for the rest of his life. Han Yi has no such plan, so he asked someone to help him train bodyguards early in the morning. The fight ahead was Ono and four Kunlun slaves.

The reason why I chose Kunlun slaves is because Kunlun slaves are more loyal, which is also Han Yi's first requirement for bodyguards.

"Owner, there is something I think it's time to report to you!"

Peng Jing suddenly spoke.

Han Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

Peng Jing said: "Our people have been waiting in front of the tomb in Qianzhou for several years, but they have never seen anyone come to worship."

When Han Yi heard this, his eyelids suddenly twitched and said, "Never anyone went there?"

Peng Jing nodded and said, "Our people are observing day and night, but we have never seen anyone there. Now the grave is covered with weeds."

It's impossible! With my understanding of her, even if she can let go of hatred, she can't let go of her mother. After so many years, she can't not go to worship her mother, or she has been there, but my people haven't noticed it? Han Yi couldn't help but frown and think.

Suddenly, Ono shouted: "Brother Han!"

Han Yi was stunned and looked up. Ono ran over sweating profusely, saying with dissatisfaction: "They can't do it, they can't do it."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Why can't it?"

Ono said: "They only know how to defend, and playing is boring."

Han Yi laughed and said, "Ono, they are bodyguards, not killers. Their duty is to protect me. Of course, defense must be greater than offense. Have you broken through their defense?"

Ono was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then I'm satisfied! Even Ono, you can't break through. I believe that no one in this world can break through their defense."

"That's not, the Yuanjiu may defeat them."

"I don't need to use bodyguards to deal with that guy, I can do it myself." Han Yi smiled and handed over a wine pot, saying, "After the New Year, you should go back to Yangzhou to marry Mengyao. I am looking forward to our three brothers taking their son out for fun."

Ono scratched his head and smiled shyly.

Han Yi said like Peng Jing again: "Let those people continue to stay there. If you have any news, tell me in time."

Peng Jing nodded and said, "I understand."

Han Yi sat in the carriage, frowning and thinking. Now it seems that there are only two situations. The first is that Wang Xuan has expected that I might guess that she would go to worship her mother, so she did not go, or did she use any method to avoid my knowledge, and the other is that something happened to her.

If it is the first type, it would be the best, but if something happened to Wang Xuan, then who would have fallen into her hands?

Is it Your Majesty? It shouldn't be. Your Majesty has been staying in the palace all the time. If Wang Xuan was not summoned into the palace, it would be meaningless to imprison Wang Xuan. Moreover, with Your Majesty's character, he would not do this, nor would there be any need to do this. Then it is the queen? It is unlikely that. At that time, the person who wanted to kill Wang Xuan the most was the queen. If Your Majesty wanted to protect Wang Xuan, he would definitely be on guard against the queen. With Your Majesty's methods, if he didn't want the queen to know Wang Xuan's whereabouts, he could do it.

But if it weren't for the two of them, who would it be?
