The Ministry of Revenue successfully collected a large amount of taxes and silver from inner city merchants. Lin Weiran's difficulties were naturally solved, and the outside world also turned from gloating to marvel.

"I thought Lin Ruoyu couldn't afford to make money, but who would have thought..."

"If it comes to intelligence, there are really few people in the Ming Dynasty who can compare with it!"

"This Chongwen Sect taxation is simply a stroke of great success. It's really a three-step calculation for Lin Ruoyu!"

...

The news spread from the Ming Dynasty's officialdom to the scholars and people in the capital. After seeing Lin Shiran's various actions this time, he seemed to have a new understanding of Lin Shiran, and the name of "three steps and one calculation" has become famous in the capital.

.

In fact, it is not very shocking to the hearts of ordinary people. Only experienced officials or scholars can more deeply understand Lin Yanran's strategy and his wisdom when a crisis comes.

It was obviously a serious crisis, but under Lin Weiran's clever use, the stubborn problem of Chongwenmen's tax collection was solved. Not only did it save the danger in this crisis, but it also achieved a small political achievement.

The same is true. Everyone has already chosen a tacit attitude towards Lin Weiran's new label of "three steps to calculate".

However, in this storm, there is another person who has become famous.

"The God of the Sea Sect is truly worthy of his reputation!"

"So far, please don't be able to be alone!"

"You may not know how many people went to the Haimen God's house to send money or intimidate them, but they all turned away!"

...

There are many "idlers" in the capital, and the people in the capital generally have stronger reconnaissance, so many things can always be reported as soon as possible and become a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

Although Hai Rui had already won the famous "Hai Qingtian" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during his tenure as the magistrate of Chun'an, the people of the capital had their innate arrogance.

Even though Lin Qingran returned to the capital as a powerful man of "Lin Lei Gong", many people did not know the name of "Lin Lei Gong", and even more so what happened during Lin Qingran's administration in Leizhou and Guangzhou.

The same is true for Hai Rui. Many people in the capital only regard Hai Rui as an ordinary head of the Ministry of Revenue. But this time, they had to look at Hai Rui with admiration. Hai Rui showed them the side of "poverty and humbleness cannot be moved, and mighty and force cannot be betrayed"

.

After seeing Hai Rui's upright and honest side, the deeds of the former "Hai Pen Holder" and "Hai Qingtian" were quickly spread in the capital, and the Haimen God also became "Hai Qingtian".

Especially when many scholars and people learned that Hai Rui was just renting a cheap and broken house in the outer city, they couldn't worship him, and were impressed by this honest official.

"What can I do if my mother, wife and children don't come to Beijing? There is no silver!"

"If there were officials in the Ming Dynasty like this, how could the court have come to this!"

"There is Lin Lei Gong above and the sea and the sky below. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

...

When Chongwenmen was levied with taxes, Hai Rui naturally became a celebrity, but was praised by many people in the capital, and also made the people in the capital know that there was such a clean official in the Ming Dynasty.

The weather in June is stuffy and the Ministry of Revenue is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The Ministry of Revenue has become the focus of the capital. Not only did Hai Rui sit in Chongwenmen to collect commercial taxes, but many officials and yamen officers of the Ministry of Revenue were also dispatched, and a lot of tax silver were sent back to Taicang.

Although they worked hard, they helped the Ministry of Revenue to overcome the financial crisis and opened up a new financial path. They also felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

Although Lin Qian had planned all this, he was about to complete the 100,000 taels, and he felt relieved in his heart, drinking tea slowly.

"Senior brother, you have really found the right person when you came to Chongwenmen to collect taxes this time!" Yang Futian sat opposite Lin Weiran, and gave Lin Weiran a thumbs up and said:

"Although our fellow villager has a strange temper, we are actually not as good as the officials' ethics!" Lin Weiran said complacently when he saw Hai Rui so powerful.

Although there is no problem with the response measures he formulated, whether it can be implemented smoothly depends on the character and ability of the executor.

If the executor is a greedy official, it is easily compromised by money; if the executor is an official who loves power, it is likely that he will be afraid of offending those big shots and let them go.

Fortunately, Hai Rui was not involved in both aspects. He turned into a "Haimen God" while standing in the Chongwenmen, selflessly levying commercial tax on goods for commuting, and blocking the tax evasion leaks.

"It's true. Hai Rui can be said to have set an example for our Ming officials, but it's a pity that he..." Yang Futian nodded in recognition, but shook his head gently.

Lin Weiran picked up the steaming teacup, looked up in confusion and asked, "What a pity?"

"Hai Rui is only a juren. If he is a Jinshi, that would be great!" Yang Futian sighed softly, looked up at Lin Xuran and said regretfully.

In the current political ecology of the Ming Dynasty, it is already a ceiling for Juren to be the head of the Six Divisions. It is already a huge difficulty for Hai Rui to go further, let alone hold an important position.

Although Hai Rui performed well this time, due to his juren's background, there is almost no possibility of being entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Lin Qingran took a sip of tea, but said half-jokingly: "I think it's a good thing if it's not a Jinshi! If he really won the Jinshi back then, would you say we want to... suppress him?"

"Strike him? Why is this?" Yang Futian seemed confused, but saw the cunning on Lin Qiran's face, and immediately reacted and smiled: "Haha... If he passed the Jinshi, then he would have been worshipped in Xuge back then.

Old subordinates, we really have to draw a clear line with him!”

It can be said that luck is a mess. The last examination that Hai Rui participated in was the examination chaired by Xu Jie in the 32nd year of Jiajing. Hai Rui was not selected by Xu Jie that year, but he immediately chose to report to the Ministry of Personnel.

, as a juren, entered the Ming Dynasty officialdom directly.

Lin Qingran gently put down the teacup, put away the joke, and said seriously: "Maybe Hai Rui failed to pass the Jinshi that year, the best result was. It was precisely because he was a Juren, so he did not

Without the desire for power as great as other Jinshi officers, you can seek welfare for the people wholeheartedly!”

"If I have the chance, I hope my senior brother can help him in the future, and Hai Rui will be a model for our Ming officials!" Yang Futian made a serious request and said.

The two were talking, when He Song, the official of the Ministry of Revenue Department, who was wearing the ninth-rank official uniform, broke in, but said sadly: "Master Zhengtang, it's not good!"

Lin Qiran couldn't help but feel a slap in his heart. Yang Futian asked anxiously: "He Song, aren't you assisting the Haizhu to collect taxes in Chongwenmen? What happened?"

"The eunuch of the internal supervisor forced to transport goods into the city, and the head of the company asked them to pay taxes. Somehow... the two sides fought!" He Song immediately said the general story of the matter.

When Yang Futian learned that Hai Rui had a conflict with the eunuch of the Independent Supervisor, he couldn't help but turn his head in horror and look at Lin Weiran.

The Chongwenmen was able to levy taxes in a tough manner, but it was mainly cleverly borrowing the emperor's authority. However, Hai Rui's excessive toughness did bad things. The internal supervisor was responsible for the procurement in the palace, so he should not have to pay taxes to the tax customs.
