    Wang Mingran sat in the living room, waiting with a cup of tea.

    The tax he evaded has been paid, and the fine money has also been paid.  He even took the initiative to tell his friends the news, so that other salt merchants would rush to pay taxes and surrender themselves.

    In the officialdom in Jiangsu, there is a lot of noise, and people are taken away for investigation from time to time.

    Early in the morning, Wang Mingran was summoned by Xu Ying. He crawled and crawled here, and had been waiting for half the morning.

    Suddenly, Wang Mingran heard footsteps.

    He stood up quickly, but it was not Xu Ying herself, but Xu Ying's entourage.

    Wang Mingran cupped his hands and bowed: "Meet Mr. Huang."

    Huang San held out a letter with an extremely respectful attitude.  This kind of respect is not for Wang Mingran, but for that letter: "Master Wang, this is His Majesty's imperial letter, I will take it back after reading it."

    "Imperial letter? Can I read it too?"

    Surprised and delighted, Wang Mingran quickly straightened his sleeves, bowed down to the letter, and then bowed to hold the letter with both hands.

    The content of the letter, in plain language throughout, is summarized as follows:

    "Everything will be dealt with as requested by you, with both leniency and strictness, and no chaos"

    "However, Tianzheng is the foundation of the country, and there should be no compromise"

    "First, although the occupied farmland can no longer grow food, it can only be forced to be a salt field in the future. But it must not be let go, and it must not be handed over to the occupier for management. This is like marrying a humiliated woman to  The perpetrators are generally assholes and funny."

    "Secondly, if more than 20 mu of farmland is invaded, the holders of the saltworks license will be beheaded without second interpretation. If more than 10 mu of farmland is occupied but less than 20 mu, the license holder will be exiled to the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Government."

    "Thirdly, in order to ensure the production of salt in Huaihe River, we should also be lenient and strict. Severely punished: the ten companies that invaded the most farmland, the salt field license will be revoked, and new investment will be issued.  The salt industry shall not be operated again within three generations, and relatives shall not be officials within three generations. Those who are lenient: the license holders of salt farms other than these ten may be beheaded, or they may be transferred to relatives to continue to operate. But the license must  If you get popular, the tax rate will be increased by 10%, and if there is any illegal behavior in the future, the license will be revoked immediately!"

    "The above-mentioned merchants, regardless of whether their heads are beheaded or not, and regardless of whether their licenses remain or not, shall be fined heavily."

    "Wang Mingran, a wealthy Anhui merchant, has made great contributions to the Datong community. His life can be spared, and his salt merchant's license will be red.  You can give this letter to Wang Mingran to read."

    Before Wang Mingran finished reading the letter, he slumped on the chair.

    The farmland occupied by his family must have exceeded 20 mu. According to the "Law of Datong", he would be beheaded.  Although he was pardoned by the emperor to survive, the future of his descendants was ruined, his cousin and nephew's black hats were gone, and all the five-fu relatives of the next three generations could no longer be officials.

    how so?

    Wang Mingran felt very wronged, he had made great contributions to the new dynasty of Datong!

    When Xu Ying first arrived in Yangzhou, she only brought a few people with her, and the development of the intelligence network was extremely difficult.  It was him, Wang Mingran, who took the risk of beheading to help Xu Ying develop her power with people and money.  When Xu Ying was in Jiangnan later, Wang Mingran paid for it and helped to print and distribute the pamphlet "The Collection of Great Harmony".

    The great Confucian Zhang Pu was recommended by Wang Mingran to Xu Ying.  The eldest princess and the consort's family were also escorted to Jiangxi by Wang Mingran.  Even the imperial concubine Liu Rushi went to Jiangxi to meet the emperor because of Wang Mingran.

    In addition, the Datong Army regained the Jianghuai area, and Wang Mingran contacted several cities anyway.

    After the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty, Wang Mingran often donated money. He donated 30,000 taels of silver to the preparation of Jiangsu University and Anhui University.

    With so much hard work and hard work, he almost moved his head because of the occupation of farmland, and he had to rely on the emperor's amnesty to save his life.

    If it is bribery of officials, tax evasion, or manipulation of salt prices, Wang Mingran can still barely understand the consequences of these crimes.  What is the right to encroach on farmland?  Those are saline-alkali lands, and they can't grow much food at all. After changing to salt fields, they can play a greater role.

    It's just more than 200 mu of Susukida. If the court allows the transaction, Wang Mingran can buy it.  When compensating farmers, he is even willing to pay farmers ten years of grain income in one lump sum according to the actual grain production.

    Wang Mingran felt that it was too nonsense, he was really wronged, the imperial court's policy was too rigid and unreasonable.

    He did occupy civilian fields, but those Susukina fields that cannot grow food can provide more tax revenue to the government after they are turned into salt fields.  He also recruited the farmers whose fields had been invaded to work in the saltworks.

    ? In this way, the loss of farmers is not large, and the government taxdeal with.

    Looking at the content of the notice in front of him, Wang Mingran gloated a little: "Many people are going to lose their heads."

    It's boring for me to be unlucky alone, but it's comfortable for everyone to be unlucky together.

    ?From Xu Ying to Yangzhou to take office, in the next six months, a large number of officials in Jiangsu Province were dismissed.  27 people were beheaded, 42 people were exiled to Heilongjiang for capital crimes, 65 people were exiled to Liaoning, Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Luzon, 93 people were imprisoned, and as many as 166 people were dismissed from office but not sentenced.  More than 300 people.

    Because of this, Xu Ying got an extra nickname: Guantu!

    Some families are happy and some are sad, and a large number of vacancies in official positions have given countless people the opportunity to be promoted.  Many officials from remote and impoverished areas were transferred to Jiangsu to serve as officials due to their excellent performance evaluations.  There are still many officials, and it is difficult to be promoted to a first-rank official. This time, dozens of officials were transferred and thrown to Jiangsu to be promoted to a first-rank official.

    Zhao Han said to Song Yingxing: "Publish the situation in Jiangsu in the newspaper and let the officials and people all over the world read it. Order the chief secretaries of all provinces to follow Xu Ying's method to thoroughly investigate and clean up. Officials at all levels in the provinces, if they find serious cases,  The local officials also concealed the truth and did not report it, so they can write to the Procuratorate to report. They must report with their real names, and they will be held accountable for false accusations!"

    "Follow the order."

    Song Yingxing thought it would be good to clean up the officialdom, but he was afraid that good things would turn bad. During the local self-examination, for the sake of political achievements, they would take the opportunity to avenge their personal revenge and make a mess.  Or they may invite credit and fawn on them, and engage in random biting, resulting in a bunch of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.  </div&gt
