Vol 2 Chapter 1088: Make a ledger (three shifts)

Gu Jiu immediately sealed the password.
"According to the purpose of this palace, all the accountants involved in the accounting of this ledger will be concentrated in the annex of the archives, where they can eat and drink. Without the permission of the palace, no one can leave the annex of the archives. At the same time, we will send embroidery guards. The archives are surrounded, and no fly is allowed in."
When Ma Xiaoliu heard this, his heart suddenly panicked.
"Enjoy the Queen Mother, there are hundreds of accountants in the Young Mansion in the archives."
"No one is allowed to leave. Only Deng Cunli and His Royal Highness Qi are allowed to enter the archives to obtain the true data of the ledger. In addition, anyone who dares to break into the archives without the permission of the palace will be charged with treason."
Gu Jiu was rare and serious, with a rare killing intent in his eyes.
It can be seen how important this matter is.
Ma Xiaoliu shook all over, bowed to take orders, "Old slave obeys."
Gu Jiu put her hand on the ledger, and she stared at Ma Xiaoliu, "Anyone who has touched this ledger, including you, will consciously squat in the archives. Next, Xu Yousi will supervise you. "
Ma Xiaoliu panicked, "Niang Niang Mingjian, Xiao Niang never turned this account book."
"My palace believes in you! It's just that the rules are so, I can only wrong you for a while."
Ma Xiaoliu nodded his head, "The old slave will write down the list."
Gu Jiu summoned Xu Yousi, "You can supervise this matter. If there is an error, please mention it."
Xu Yousi looked at Ma Xiaoliu, his eyes extremely disgusting and contemptuous.
Just like Ma Xiaoliu is a troublemaker.
Ma Xiaoliu felt wronged.
How did he know that this account book is so important. Knowing this, he would never touch the account books, he would not even bother about it.
After all the measures were arranged, Gu Jiu was still not at ease.
He also instructed the Intelligence Department to stare at the archives, staring at all those who had access to this account book.
...
Deng Cunli and His Royal Highness Qi Wang received orders one after another.
Both of them were taken aback.
"The mother gave the password after reading the budget ledger. It seems that the data in the budget ledger is probably a gunpowder keg."
He vaguely guessed the truth, but stopped.
He and Deng Cunli met. The two had never cooperated before, but they had a great understanding on this matter.
"Each county government’s account book is published separately, and no totals are made. If there are too many acres, the account book is based on the township. Although it is more troublesome, the better is safety."
If you don’t do the accounting, even if you lose a book or the data of a few books are passed out, it will not affect the overall situation.
King Qi asked Deng Cunli, "Can the password be spread to every county in the world in half a month?"
"No!" Deng Cunli was very direct, "The world is too big and the time is too short. Not every place has built cement roads. But basically two-thirds of the people can be notified. Within a month, you can ensure that all notifications are in place."
"It's not bad to have two thirds. Duke Deng has worked hard."
"Your Highness is polite."
...
Gu Jiu sent someone to invite Liu Zhao to the study.
Screen back around.
She turned out the budget ledger and placed it in front of him.
Liu Zhao's face was puzzled.
Gu Jiu made no effort to tell him to look at the ledger first.
Liu Zhao flipped through the account book, looking at each page, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Snapped!
He closed the ledger hard.
Rubbing his eyebrows again, he said, "If there is not much difference between the budget and the actual income, this is a good thing and a bad thing."
Gu Jiu sighed,
I’m thinking, when the autumn harvest taxation ends, everyone will care about this year’s taxation income and will directly ask about it in the early morning. What should I say then? Fortunately, at the beginning, this part of the right was separated from the household department and let Shaofu bears the responsibility. Otherwise, the news has now been leaked, and you and I will become the enemies of the officials of the world. They want to drink our blood and eat our meat."
Liu Zhao looked at her, "What do you think? Do you want to do a yin and yang account book, or lower taxes?"
"Ten tax and one tax rate is already extremely low and cannot be lowered."
"Then you can only make a fake account book, and the accounts are the same as the taxation of previous years."
Liu Zhao thought about it, this is the best way.
If officials in the world are told that this year’s agricultural tax is many times that of previous years, or the income obtained under the condition of lowering the tax rate, they must hate their couple.
The extra part was taken out of the pockets of the royal family and gentry.
They have always been searching for the minions, this time it is their turn to be searched by the emperor and queen, and their mood can be imagined.
Gu Jiu smiled bitterly.
What is this called!
Excessive taxation has become a burden.
Have to hide from side to side.
"Are we asking for hardship?"
Liu Zhao nodded again and again, "Now that I want to come, it is better to be a gentleman, relaxed and happy. Keeping the rules of the ancestors, and doing everything in accordance with the old rules, as long as you don’t encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, and you don’t encounter frontier warfare, you can be safe. I should be praised by a wise king. Hey, I also asked for trouble, hitting the north and the south. Now I have offended all officials, gentry and tycoons, including scholars, to be clean. It is really thankless."
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Do you regret it? Now you can also be a master of success."
Liu Zhao shook his head and waved his hand, "No, no! I'm used to conquering the world and fighting against the officials of the world. This will call me to stop, and it will never happen. I have seen that the hearts of the people in the court are floating, all of them are beating their own little ones. abacus."
"Is there a solution?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "It's nothing more than being scolded by the censors who pointed their noses at the monarch."
Gu Jiu let out a chuckle, "Remember that in the past few years, every time someone scolded you to faint, you jumped with anger. Now you don't care at all, you still have a bit of fun in it."
"Since I am called Faunjun, I am sorry if I don't do something that Faunjun does. I'm sorry for being called Faunjun. It's good to be a monarch. If you dare to stop, I will copy his family and destroy his clan."
Liu Zhao would really look like a faint king.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "I thought about it, this year's tax harvest can be used to increase the amount of assistance for disabled soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand the pension can also be moved. Move early so that you can block courtiers. Q."
"Is it worth it to spend so much money on pensions?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's worth it! Compared with what we received, this little money is not worth mentioning."
Liu Zhao asked her, "Who do you plan to find to do the account book?"
It is a matter of yin and yang accounts. It is not a light trick to hide all courtiers.
"I plan to do it myself." Gu Jiu was thinking about this question from the beginning.
Liu Zhao resolutely opposed, "No! This matter is laborious and laborious, are you going to die?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "It's not as serious as you think. It's just an account..."
"If you say no, you can't. I'm relying on you for everything else, but this one can't depend on you. You often say that you do a complete set of dramas, and you want to hide from Manchu civil and military affairs. It is not enough to make a general ledger. It is necessary to make the accounts of each county and even each township to make a complete set of well-documented accounts. Such a heavy burden, how can you do it. Tiredness will make you exhausted!"
Gu Jiu frowned, "If I don't do it, who will do it?"
Liu Zhao sternly said, "I will find someone to do it."
"You don't have anyone who is good at numeracy at all. As you said, such a large workload can't be accomplished by a few people."
"Then what do you say?" Liu Zhao was angry.
Gu Jiu picked up the budget account book, "You can refer to the previous year's account book and copy a set."
Liu Zhao's eyes widened, "Copy a set?"
Gu Jiu nodded heavily.
Liu Zhao snorted: "Even if you copy a set, you need a lot of manpower. Do you have someone to choose? Anyway, you can't do it yourself."
Gu Jiu pondered, "Shaofu's account can be used. They are counting the population of the field in the archives, and some people are selected to make a book. It may be feasible."
Liu Zhao pondered carefully, "I am not at ease! The people in the Shaofu come from a variety of backgrounds. Maybe anyone will leak the news, but you still have to use trusted people."
"Then I can only call Qingzhu, Qingmei, Aqing and the others back. They are all people I cultivated with my own hands. They have a strict and reliable mouth and are trustworthy! Moreover, they are three points better than many old accountants in the accounting."
"Just a few of them, are they enough?"
"It's definitely not enough! I can only work harder and stay up late to do it every day."
Liu Zhao pondered for a while, "Okay! Just use them."
Without further ado, early the next morning, Gu Jiu sent a palace man to invite Qingmei and the others to the palace and began to do account books.
This is a huge and secret project.
As the news leaked, Gu Jiu directly ordered the closure of the side hall where Qingmei and the others lived.
Without her permission, no one can enter.
Mother Fang, who has been out of the palace for the elderly, took the initiative to take on the important task of delivering food.
...
On the first day of August, it came in a blink of an eye.
Everyone in the world, from high-ranking officials to dignitaries, is paying attention to this day, staring at the movements of Shaofu.
Outside the Shaofu Yamen, people came and went, and walked again, and it was as lively as a bazaar.
Although he couldn't see anything, Xiaomin City still happily passed by the gate of Shaofu's Yamen, then craned his neck and looked inside.
The household department next door was left in the cold.
The entire yamen, from top to bottom, was low in pressure and it was suffocatingly cold.
It is a shame and shame that the taxes were snatched by the Shaofu.
This is tantamount to seizing power!
Master Shangshu Qin under the household department was under tremendous pressure, but he couldn't twist his thigh with his elbow. What could he do?
He can only bear the complaints of his subordinates silently.
"The old man must be the most unlucky one in the previous household books."
Master Qin sighed.
"I don't know how long the old man can sit in this position."
Touching the chair under him, I really can't bear this position.
Perhaps your Majesty will continue to use him for his obedient reasons.
It is also possible that your Majesty can't stand the pressure and take him out to take the blame.
Hey!
The future is unpredictable!
Master Qin looked melancholy!
