Tokyo Bianliang!
Royal Palace.
Zhao Xu put down the letter, pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said to a man in the uniform of the imperial army standing in front of him, "Go and tell Li Bao to arrange a hundred merchants on Jingdong East Road, distributed in various counties. Maybe 20 guan will be allocated to them, as for where it will be used, Zhang San will tell him."
"Honestly obey orders."
The man clasped his fists and said.
Zhao Xu nodded, but his face was full of hesitation. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "You go down first."
"Retire from humble office."
After the man retreated, Zhao Xu tilted his head slightly, and the servant next to him understood it, and immediately took a step forward, "The servant is here."
Zhao Xu said: "You go to the inner storage now, and let someone embezzle [-] guan from it. Remember, you must not leak the news."
The servant was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it 20?"
Zhao Xu said unhappily: "If 20 guan are embezzled at once, can it be hidden? There are many people in the outer court who are staring at this inner storage."
"The servant is stupid, but the servant obeys."
"Okay! Let's go."
"The slaves retire."
After the servant went out to close the door, Zhao Xu clenched his fist and lightly slammed down the table, saying: "This Zhang San, it is really unreasonable. I asked Mr. to make a new law. The purpose of this is to improve finances and increase the revenue of the treasury. Now he wants me to spend money." Go make it up, isn't this making money for me?"
But after complaining, Zhao Xu laughed again: "But then again, among these three people, almost everyone's plan has problems, but his Qianlong Wuyu has never made a mistake. of."
River House.
Almost all the local farmers paid their taxes in advance. The crowd effect caused the rest of the people to worry too. They also wondered whether the government would restrict the payment of taxes in salt money because too many people paid taxes in salt money.
The credibility of the government is really worrying!
Among them, businessmen must be the most anxious, and they already have a lot of salt money in their hands without knowing it.
Lee's bookstore.
"Mr. Yang, you have calculated all your tax bills. If there are no omissions, you will probably have to pay 12 yuan this year."
Li Min handed back a calculated tax bill to the middle-aged man with a big belly in front of him.
"Nothing will be missed."
Member Yang waved his hands repeatedly, and lamented, "I even counted the money I earned from reselling salt money at the beginning of the year."
Li Min smiled and said, "It's rare for me to meet a client as careful as Yuanwai Yang!"
Yang Yuanwai glanced at him, "12 yuan, more than 100 guan, if you say you don't feel bad, it must be a lie. It is not easy for us to make money, but if we lose money, the imperial court will not help us. Looking at it now, this business is getting easier and easier to do, and we are afraid that if we save this little money, we will be sued by the tax department at that time, and we will lose a lot because of it."
Li Min nodded and said, "Yuanwai thought very thoroughly, no wonder Yuanwai can make so much money in a year."
Member Yang glanced at Li Min again, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there anyone here to ask you how to pay less tax?"
Li Min nodded and said: "There are, but I can only provide assistance under the tax law and help them calculate taxes reasonably. In other respects, I can't help."
Member Yang nodded, and slapped his thighs with both hands, "Okay, I'll leave this to you, I'll go back first."
Li Min cupped his hands and said, "You can rest assured outside the staff."
Just as Yang Yuanwai was sent away, he saw Zhang Fei Law School approaching. Li Min hurried forward, "Li Min has met the chief judge. Please come to the chief judge's room."
After arriving at the store, Zhang Fei sat down and asked, "How is the business recently?"
Li Min replied truthfully: "Although the number of lawsuits has decreased a lot, the business of tax declaration has increased. Now many people are anxious to pay their taxes."
"is it?"
Zhang Fei said.
Li Min nodded, and glanced outside, "The main reason is that many businessmen come to the store and entrust me to help them with their tax returns."
"Businessman?" Zhang Fei pondered for a while: "Nowadays, the business situation is very good, they must be worried about getting involved in a lawsuit, because a small loss is worth a lot."
Li Mindao: "The chief judge is really good at predicting things. That's exactly the case. Recently, almost all businessmen, big and small, have made a lot of money, and they predict that next year's business will definitely go up to a higher level. Of course they don't want to pay so much tax, but they I am even more afraid of delaying my business because of this matter, after all, they are not very familiar with this self-declaration, and they are worried that the government will use it to make things difficult for them, so these people are more detailed than we think, and all income is included in it."
Zhang Fei nodded, and asked again: "Where is the real rich man in Hezhong Mansion?"
Li Min hesitated a little, "They just came to consult, but it seems that they haven't officially started filing taxes. But I think they will definitely wait until the last month to start paying taxes."
"not necessarily."
"What did Judge Zhang say?"
"Because paying in the last month is a gamble, and there is no room for maneuver. They are very shrewd and will not let you be in a desperate situation." Zhang Fei laughed.
Li Min just nodded, noncommittal.
Zhang Fei saw that he was uncomfortable, "I just asked casually, you don't have to feel restrained, and you don't have to report truthfully, don't tell if you can't tell, as Erbi, you still have to keep secrets for clients."
Then you still ask?Li Min secretly complained in his heart, and immediately nodded embarrassingly.
Except for Zhang Fei, almost everyone thought that those big landlords would wait until the last month to pay taxes. However, they were all wrong.
After this wave of small businessmen paying taxes, the real rich people of Hezhong Mansion came to the headquarters of the taxation department to pay their taxes. They didn't hire Er Bi, after all, they didn't lack accountants.
Originally, the deadline for tax payment stipulated by the tax department was December [-]th, but at the beginning of November, it was basically completed.
This also directly broke the record of the fastest tax collection in Song Dynasty.
Because everyone is paying taxes with salt money.
But this record is not that important, it is useless soon, the key depends on how much tax is collected.
Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang also rushed to the Taxation Department immediately to inquire about the specific situation.
Of course, the Inland Revenue Department cannot hide any tax situation from them, and it also truthfully handed over the tax accounts to them.
"This is already [-] crowns more than last year's total tax bill."
Cai Yanqing was taken aback.
Although [-] guan is not a lot, you must know that this was collected without exploiting the self-cultivated farmers, and there was a wave of tax increases last autumn, which is quite remarkable. Before coming, Cai Yanqing estimated that even if the harvest Up to two-thirds is already remarkable.
The officials sitting here, including Yuan Jiang, all clicked their tongues after hearing the number.
Although Yuan Jiang had seen this self-declaration before, when he was in the capital, it was all recovered later, that is, after the tax department used force, the tax amount doubled. At first, it only collected tens of thousands of guan.
But in Hezhong Prefecture, the tax collection period has not yet ended, and it has already exceeded last year.
Of course, when Bianjing collected the exemption tax, the public security law had not yet taken shape, and the capital was full of big bosses, so it failed to deter too many people.
Another point is that people with hidden household registrations come out to pay taxes. Although their taxes are not much, they can’t stand up to a large number of people. At once, most of them account for one-third of the people. In addition, those big landlords also pay more than in previous years. This tax Of course it will grow.
Needless to say, other officials, we have exhausted all our strength in the past, so it is not as good as your self-declaration, unreasonable!
Those guys are really cheap.
Wei Yingfang said with a smile: "The tax department really lives up to its reputation, and collected all the taxes without any effort, which made Wei also educated, admiration! Admiration!"
He even praised the tax department, did the sun come out from the west?
But after a while, the rest of the officials also came to their senses and congratulated Chen Ming one after another.
It's amazing.
Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang saw it in their eyes, how could they not understand in their hearts, in fact, they were implying that overcompleting the task, even if it is the finale, don't bother, face is mutual, if you give face like this, you have to see each other receive.
But Chen Ming still had the same paralyzed face, and cupped his hands and said: "The duty of our tax department is not to care about the increase or decrease of taxes. This is your duty. Our duty is to collect taxes according to law."
A look of displeasure flashed in Wei Yingfang's eyes, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Is there any difference?"
Chen Mingdao: "Our goal is to ensure that no one evades taxes. We will start tax inspections next year."
Yuan Jiang coughed lightly: "It's already exceeded so much, it should be that no one is evading taxes."
Wei Yingfang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Chen Mingdao: "Then we have to check to find out."
".!"
The smiles on the faces of the officials gradually disappeared, and they once again looked at Chen Ming with hostile eyes. You are shameless, but you were directly absorbed by that paralyzed face.
And Chen Ming really wasn't joking with them, after seeing them off, Chen Ming came to the back hall, only to see all sorts of people sitting inside.
Chen Mingdao: "You have also investigated for a whole year. I believe you should have gained something. Whether you will sleep in the street or in the brothel next year, you will be watching the next three months."
The words are rough and the rationale are not rough, these three religions and nine streams all showed excitement.
After Chen Ming finished speaking, several people immediately sent them accounts one by one.
How to investigate tax evasion, you first need to know how much tax they paid. Before that, they have been investigating the sales and land information of those big rich people. Now they have to give them the accounts to compare with their information.
Chen Ming said again: "Remember! You must be careful at this time, because the tax collection period ends on December [-]th. Even if you find out, it's best not to disclose it. Otherwise, if the other party pays back, then Your bonuses will be gone. During this period, you only need to prepare all the evidence and start the prosecution next year."
"Thanks for the reminder from the Inland Revenue Department, we will remember."
"Ah."
The weather turned cold, and the river, which had been busy day and night for half a year, finally gradually became deserted.
A lone sail sailed slowly, and there were two people sitting cross-legged in the cabin, one was dressed as a fisherman and the other was dressed as an old man.
"Look!"
The fisherman put a tax bill on the low table, "Is it your master's tax bill?"
The old man picked it up and looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Yes, this is exactly my master's tax bill, and it is exactly the same. Where did you get it?"
The fisherman said: "It was sent to us by the tax envoy. If you don't give us the tax bill, how can we investigate tax evasion?"
The old man asked, "Did you just give my master's tax bill?"
The fisherman said: "That's not true." He said with a smile: "But the rest, it has nothing to do with your master."
There was a flash of displeasure in the old man's eyes, and the guy had eaten several meals at the sight, but it was only a flash, and he nodded, "You are right, are you sure there will be no problems?"
"No! I've asked other people, and everyone gets only a part of the tax bill. They don't have your master's tax bill."
"very good!"
The old man nodded, "Everything will be done according to the plan, and I will hand over the rest of the money to you after it is done."
"Don't worry."
The reason why this rich man didn't insist on paying taxes at the last second is very simple. They have to test the action of the tax department. If they overwhelm the last, if the plan changes, they won't even have the chance to make up the payment.
But for now, at least all of this is still under their control.
The key to self-declaration lies in the eyes and ears. As long as these eyes and ears are plugged with money, the tax department will be deaf and blind.
Pay taxes?
It is impossible to pay taxes.
This kind of situation has not happened before, but they will continue to attack until they find a loophole, which is human nature.
Forwarding Division.
"Oh! This salt note is really a treasure, it's too wonderful! It's too wonderful!"
Yuan Jiang looked at the accounts without any scruples, grinning, and then looked at Cai Yanqing, "Zhongyuan, in the past, we used to go to the warehouse every day to collect taxes, but we were really tired. Now we only need to It's incredible to put a few pennies in the books."
Cai Yanqing smiled and said: "Brother Yuan, don't pay the tax yet, the tax has not been fully collected yet."
"But I think it's almost the same. How much can they escape?" Yuan Jiang frowned and asked again: "Why? Do you think they evaded a lot of taxes?"
Cai Yanqing said: "I don't know either, because those people have never really paid taxes, and no one knows how much money they have."
Yuan Jiang nodded: "Hearing what you said, it is worth looking forward to."
Cai Yanqing said: "It depends on whether the tax department is really capable."
royal court.
Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun, and Cai Jing who had been away for half a year returned to Hezhong Mansion today.
"I've read the hall records you sent, and tried a lot of lawsuits, which is three times as many as the whole year of Hezhong Mansion this year. It's very good."
Zhang Fei smiled gratifiedly.
When the three of them heard it, they felt very happy, and it was rare to be praised by the teacher.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly asked curiously: "Are these places so messy?"
Cai Bian hurriedly said: "Master Xu doesn't know something. In fact, those places are similar to Hezhong Mansion. It's just because those people know that the public prosecutor's court will go this year, so they wait for us to go before they go to sue. This is The disputes of last year and this year added up."
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "I see."
Shangguan Jun added: "Besides, Pinglu County is a traffic hub, and Jiezhou is where Yanchi is located. There are also many business disputes."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile: "But you all dealt with it very well. It's just that you are a little conservative in terms of fines, but this is a good thing. It proves that you are very cautious. Don't be impatient. After you have enough experience, your confidence will naturally increase. , then the penalty will be more accurate.”
"The teacher's teachings are kept in mind by the students."
"But next year your tasks will be even heavier."
Zhang Fei said: "You stay in Hezhong Mansion temporarily for a year, and take a good rest. This year is the first year of self-declaration, and there will definitely be related lawsuits next year. We will take you to trial for a month, and you will return to Ping An after a month. Lu County reconciled with Xiezhou and brought the students to try the local tax lawsuit. During this period, Ye Zuqia would return to Hezhong Mansion.
If there are no accidents, you will have to go to Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of the year, and then you will be truly promoted to the chief judge.And your students will continue to stay in Hezhong Mansion to hear the case, and I will re-arrange the students to go to Jingzhao Mansion with you. "
All three of them were overjoyed, "Thank you teacher for your cultivation, the students will definitely work harder and never disappoint the teacher's kindness."
"Don't disappoint your own hard work and persistence."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "From next year, you will have to break away from the teacher's dependence and have to fight on your own."
In the entire public security system, only the imperial court is very short of talents. The procuratorate and the police station are all good, but I am not waiting for me at this time. Zhang Fei can only use this way of a teacher leading an apprentice, one life two, two beget three, three beget everything.
Speaking of this matter, Zhang Fei really hated Sima Guang to death. At the beginning of the year, he sent a letter, saying that he would send a group of young talents to study with him, laying the foundation for the future expansion of the public security system. As a result, a year later, this The young talent was stunned.
It's really outrageous!
Too dawdly.
You don't need to think about it, but Sima Guang must pass a lot of tests, such as knowledge, character, and so on.
Although Zhang Fei said he wanted to take a good rest, due to the tight schedule, Cai Bian and the others did not have much respite. After winter, Zhang Fei talked with them about the cases they were trying in Pinglu County and Jiezhou every day. They go into some details.
But at this moment, how could Sima Guang have the mood to pay attention to talents, Fan Chunren sent a memorial to the capital, making him dizzy with anger.
Over there, Jingdong East Road has already completed the first youth money loan, which was a great success and achieved outstanding results, but the achievements Fan Chunren mentioned purely refer to financial income.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
Sima Guang slapped the memorial on the table, "What is his green crop law to benefit the country and the people? It's purely to collect money for the country. The poor can't borrow money, and the rich don't want to borrow, but they are forced to borrow. No, I have never seen such an exploitative policy throughout the ages. No, I have to go to Wang Jiefu to discuss it and see what excuses he has."
Wen Yanbo raised his hand and said: "Jun Shi, don't get excited, there are only five or six memorials to impeach Qingmiao Law, but there are more than [-] memorials praising Qingmiao Law."
Sima Guang said: "Nowadays those officials are afraid of the public prosecutor's law, so they are colluding with Wang Jiefu, can you say it's bad?"
Wen Yanbo said: "But why don't the officials believe those more than 30 memorials, but why do they believe in yours?"
"That's right!" Sima Guang couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, "It's exactly as I expected."
Fu Bi slowly opened his eyes and yawned, "Since you are exactly as expected, why are you so anxious?"
Sima Guang was startled, then looked at Fu Bi, "What does Mr. Fu mean by that?"
Fu Bi said: "You also said just now that this method of young crops is just a way to catch fish. If so, there will be problems sooner or later. This method of accumulating money will not last long, and there will definitely be problems at that time. We just need to wait patiently." .”
Sima Guang hesitated: "But if it can't happen, it's better not to happen."
Wen Yanbo said: "But we have already stopped it."
This Sima Guang has a good performance in terms of knowledge, ideas, and thoughts. Using history as a mirror, he can know the ups and downs. As soon as he sees the young crop method, he knows what disaster will happen.
But in terms of means, he is actually far inferior to Fu Bi. Don't look at Fu Bi's recent introspection and resignation, and he doesn't care about political affairs, but he fought in the Qingli New Deal, and later competed with Han Qi. He has already seen that Where the New Deal is weak, you just need to wait for the opportunity and then kick it.
Fu Bi suddenly asked: "By the way, didn't you say that you want to arrange someone to go to Hezhong Mansion to study with Zhang Fei? Has this person gone?"
"Ah?" Sima Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I've been picking and choosing, but the chief judge is the core of the public prosecutor's law, and the moral aspect must be perfect, so that people can be assured."
Fu Bi touched his forehead with a headache, and said very euphemistically: "That Zhang San's morality is not perfect."
Sima Guang said: "But who can learn from Zhang San? Don't worry, rich man. I have considered this matter carefully. No matter how many tricks Zhang San has, he can't do everything. He can't take care of everything. In the past, even if Zhang Sanshen couldn't take care of him, it was enough to make people feel at ease, but it would be faster.
If some unscrupulous people are sent there, even if they are very talented, once they leave Zhang San's supervision, they may have a bad influence on the public prosecutor's law, so we have to guard against it! "
Fu Bi looked at Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and remained silent, he could only nod his head and said, "You have to hurry up, when Wang Jiefu's side won't work, and there is no one on your side, you may miss the opportunity."
Sima Guang nodded and said: "Of course I know that, but if this kind of thing is rushed, there may be more problems than Wang Jiefu's side. You can't let me compare who is worse with Wang Jiefu."
Fu Bi smiled and nodded straightly: "It makes sense!"
But I thought in my heart, this person is just as hopeless as Wang Jiefu.
I can't persuade you at all!
The Department of Regulations of the Second Government was established.
"Did you know that Fan Chunren sent a memorial, which is all about impeachment of the Qingmiao Law."
Wang Anshi said to Lu Huiqing who came back not long ago.
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "The student knows, but the mentor should know this person, so he will only talk about the morality of others, but not understand the difficulty of enforcing the law."
Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then explained: "Yes, the government over there did allocate some young crop money to those big landlords, but that was based on the fact that no one came to borrow money after the people borrowed it, so the government did so. And why didn't Fan Chunren say that those big landlords evaded taxes every year, and they still made a lot of money by giving them two cents of interest. Besides, they promised themselves, and the government didn't force them."
Wang Anshi nodded slightly, and asked again: "I heard that some people are also burdened with heavy debts because of the Green Crop Law. Is this true?"
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "This is also true, but it belongs to a very small number of people. Those people borrowed money and squandered it recklessly. We can't control this! But there are also many people who borrowed money to make farm tools and buy better seeds. Most people will still be able to pay back.”
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "You write another letter to Zhang Dun, asking him to tell the people below that whenever the common people come to borrow money, they must be warned not to squander recklessly, but to use the money wisely. It was lent to them, not given to them."
Lu Huiqing nodded.
Wang Anshi continued: "Also, if the Green Crop Law is successful in East Jingdong Road, then next year the Green Crop Law and the Exemption Law will be implemented in the south of the Yangtze River. Let the people below prepare for it, and I will write another letter to Xue Shizheng when the time comes. "
Since the finances of the two places will not be released until next year, even if the two sides want to compare, they will have to wait until the accounts of the two places are sent to the capital next year to fight again. Only when they have evidence can they compete. nothing.
But whether it is the officials in the capital city or the officials in the Hezhong Mansion, they are still very nervous.
Just like students waiting for the results of the college entrance examination.
From winter to spring, the ice and snow melted, and the snow dripped from the eaves, making a ticking sound, as if urging people to go out.
After the Lantern Festival, various government offices opened one after another, and officials gathered together, naturally chatting first and not doing anything, but this year everyone is talking about one topic, which is the tax department.
No. 15 last month, the tax collection period has passed, and those who have not paid taxes are considered tax evasion, but after No. 15, everyone is on holiday, so it depends on this year.
The tax department did not disappoint. This early in the morning, a group of heavily armed tax policemen escorted three large boxes and slowly headed southwest.
This immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The common people came to the street one after another, watched the convoy passing by, and then discussed again.
royal court.
On the first day of work, the three little Vajras met at Dagou’s restaurant for breakfast. Just after eating, Shangguan came outside, stood under the big tree and stretched his waist, and suddenly said: "Come and see?"
"Look at what?"
The Cai family brothers stepped forward and looked up. Cai Jing frowned and said, "It seems to be someone from the tax department."
Cai Bian said with a smile: "It seems that they are really suffocated, and they will come to sue on the first day the door opens."
Shangguan Jun hehe said: "There will be a good show this time."
The three of them were not surprised. Their purpose of staying here was to wait for this lawsuit, but they were very much looking forward to it.
After a while, the convoy came to the gate of the imperial court.
The three of them were just about to go over when they suddenly saw a figure flash past them.
"Chen Tax Envoy, you are here."
It was Qiu Zhengwen.
Chen Ming cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Qiu."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Collecting people's money and eliminating disasters for others, these are what I should do."
"Zhengwen, are you taking over the tax department's lawsuit?" Cai Jing stepped forward and asked.
Qiu Zhengwen nodded shyly, and asked, "Has the imperial court opened yet?"
The three of them looked at each other, Cai Jing nodded and said, "The door has been opened, what's the matter with you?"
Qiu Zhengwen escaped with a pleading paper, saying: "On behalf of the tax department, I will sue the 130 people in Hezhong Prefecture for tax evasion."
Cai Jing took it over, but smiled and said, "That's just a little bit!"
Qiu Zhengwen said: "I am just employed by others."
Cai Jing glanced at Chen Ming, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please come inside."
