Chapter 1051
"Brother Wu, don't worry, our Xu family will definitely take care of this matter to the end." Mr. Xu and the second son of the Wu family were saying goodbye outside Hangzhou City.
"Where are, our Zhejiang hope is entrusted to you, my husband." The second young master of the Wu family shook his folding fan and responded with a smile.
One night, the Wu family showed Mr. Xu the power of Zhejiang and made Mr. Xu agree to the plan. Now most of their families in Zhejiang have been united. If the court allows the people from the tax department to do whatever they want, it will really arouse public grievances.
And they are all ready in Zhejiang. As long as the Xu family leads the way, Nanzhili will start to put pressure on the capital, Zhejiang will follow, and Jiangxi will also work together.
If the most important money bags of the Ming Dynasty were putting their efforts together, I didn’t believe that the court would remain indifferent.
With the gifts from more than a dozen big cars from Zhejiang, Mr. Xu embarked on the journey home. He now wants to go back and give the first prize to the top twins.
The top-quality twins made Xu Xiaomao feel itchy in his heart like he was scratched.
It's just that I'm not around and sent home.
The second young master of the Wu family saw that the Xu family's convoy had already gone far, so he took the people back.
The head of the Wu family and the eldest young master of the Wu family were waiting at home. The head of the Wu family sat in the main seat and slowly drank tea. The first eldest young master of the Wu family on his left was playing with a jade pendant, as if he was doing nothing.
After waiting for a while, the second young master of the Wu family appeared at the door, lifted up his robe and walked into the house.
"I've seen my father, brother." The second young master of the Wu family half bowed to the head of the Wu family, then nodded to the eldest young master of the Wu family and greeted him.
"Are you done?" asked the head of the Wu family, putting the teacup in his hand on the table.
"If you want to go back to your father, then the young master of the Xu family has already gone back." The second young master of the Wu family walked to the first position on the right of the head of the Wu family and sat down and replied.
"Yeah!" The head of the Wu family nodded: "It's so good. It's still a bit lacking in this matter based on our Zhejiang power alone. If we don't add Nanzhili, we are powerless."
They gave so many good things to the Xu family's young master in Zhejiang, just that the Xu family could openly oppose the affairs of the tax department to the court first.
The road maintenance fee! The world's ridiculousness!
These people nominally say that they are the tax department, but do not do the tax collection. Instead, they are blocking the road they must pass and set up checkpoints to collect tolls. What is the difference between blocking the road and robbing?
Oh! Actually, there is a little different. Bandits are crimes for asking for money by blocking the road, but if you don’t give it to you, it’s a crime. The official robbery is so upright.
Of course, the Xu family’s memorial was just the first step, and it was also their Jiangnan’s first step in taking action against the court. In fact, they didn’t want to have a quarrel with the court. They had to eat this meal in one bite and suppress the pressure bit by bit, so that they would not cause a strong backlash from the court.
After all, if you want the emperor to bow his head, you must give him a step.
In fact, the Wu family had known this road maintenance fee for a long time, and they also knew what the road maintenance fee was in Zhejiang. However, the Taxation Department has always been active in the north, especially in the northern Zhili? At that time, they were still called the Daming Beijing Taxation Department? Since it was changed to this taxation department, they suddenly reached out to Nan Zhili? They set up checkpoints in Fengyang Prefecture? All goods entering and leaving Fengyang Prefecture have to pay tolls.
As long as the Wu family's goods want to enter the north, they have to be peeled off. Not only that, the merchants in the south also feel it? As long as they want to cross Fengyang Mansion to do business, they have to be peeled off.
How could you let these stingy merchants bear this? I would rather spend 1,000 taels in the kiln than pay the toll of 100 taels!
I'm gonna be!
Of course they did the same? They were extremely uncooperative to pay taxes and even directly fought with those from the tax department. As a result, they were beaten up by the tax police and then arrested and then jailed.
So according to the convention, these businessmen asked local officials to plead with each other, but it was not good. Those people from the tax department ignored the local officials at all. As a result, the officials had nothing to do except say a few harsh words.
Because no matter how they handed over the memorial, they would be as if they were mud and sunk into the sea.
No matter how concise and concise their memorials are, or if they criticize this Ministry of Taxation, which will be the root of the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, we cannot get the above response.
I wrote more than ten pounds of memorials? What I got was the above sentences.
"Yeah! I understand!"
"Okay, we're having a meeting to study? You have to be patient!"
"We have informed the Taxation Department that specific matters need to be investigated by people from China Unicom Taxation Department before they can come to a conclusion."
So? No matter how much they write, they get these few sentences.
This made all the officials in Nanzhili and Zhejiang so angry that they were half-hearted. Since the court wants to hold us back? Then we are not vegetarians? We can’t sit still and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack and give the court a look, so that the court knows that we businessmen are not easy to bully!
Their Wu family is the president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce and the largest family in Hangzhou. They are also one of the best in Zhejiang, so these people from Zhejiang chose him as their representatives and went to talk to the big names in Nanzhili.
Of course, the Xu family alone cannot complete such a big task, but with the big figures in Yingtian Mansion, the emperor has to give in temporarily.
Just as the three of them discussed the Wu family, there was a group of direct troops who were marching in a hurry outside. After they learned about the identities of those people, they immediately began to pass on to Hangzhou.
After a period of rapid march, they arrived at the city of Hangzhou.
The soldiers guarding the city gate outside Hangzhou were all careless and very skilled in asking the people for money, but they really ran fast when they asked for war.
When Zhang Yong led the special operations brigade and the guards to lead the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city seemed to have seen monsters and rolled and crawled into the city, even so scared that the city gate was not closed because it would affect their escape speed.
Under the guidance of the guide, more than 600 soldiers from the direct division went straight to the Wu family's mansion.
This Wu family mansion is actually easy to find. It is the most prosperous house in Hangzhou City. Just ask for anyone who doesn’t know the Wu family in Hangzhou City.
In a short while, more than 600 soldiers blocked the main exits of the Wu family mansion.
Why not surround him? Because Zhang Yong underestimated the financial resources of the Wu family, so that a large mansion would almost catch up with the street where he lived in the capital.
But that's true. This street is really owned by the Wu family.
