Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 417: Activate Public Security Law

At this time, Bianjing is like a boiling boiler, which may explode at any time, which is very dangerous.

The fuse is in Zhang Fei's hands.

It depends on when he starts to calculate and collect taxes.

At the same time, everyone also knows that this day will not be too long, because the police station recruits people first, and then collects taxes. According to the regulations of the Service Recruitment Law, the exemption from this service tax is paid together with the summer and autumn taxes.

If the summer tax is missed, the police station's finances will inevitably collapse, and it is impossible to support it. You must know that the original police station only has more than 500 people, and now it will expand by 20 times, unless the emperor himself takes action.

Therefore, the police department will definitely set the exemption tax before the summer tax.

The time left for the police station is running out.

Fufu.

On this royal holiday, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo will come to Fu's mansion to help him practice the law. At the same time, Fu Bi will also give the students a day off. After all, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are prime ministers, and some things cannot be said Say it casually in front of the students.

But today they have no intention of thinking about it.

"The situation is very dangerous now!"

Fu Bi couldn't help but also frowned.

Wen Yanbo nodded: "If you want to set the exemption tax before the summer tax, there is not enough time, because you have to recalculate the household, etc., this is a very cumbersome job, and in the end it will either Use the original households, or you can only rely on those officials, and things will inevitably happen in the middle.”

They are too familiar with this kind of routine. Sima Guang reminded Wang Anshi more than once that you are too radical, and good things can turn into bad things.

Sima Guangdao: "Now the only one worth looking forward to is Zhang San. According to my understanding of him, if he is not sure, he will not act rashly."

"But Zhang San is only one person!" Fu Bi frowned, and asked again: "Who is in charge of the tax department at present?"

The cards in Zhang Fei's hands are basically visible. The only thing that is unclear is the tax department. Since its establishment, this government office has been purely a technical department. No one knows how much power the tax department has.

Wen Yanbo said: "It's an official named Li He."

Fu Bi thought for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't heard of this person."

Sima Guangdao: "It is said that Li He used to be an official in charge of warehouse cashiers in Sanbu Gouyuan, and was later directly promoted to be a tax envoy."

Fu Bi asked: "A member of the official family?"

Sima Guang nodded: "It should be."

At this moment, a domestic servant walked over quickly, "Master, this is the news that was just delivered."

Wen Yanbo asked: "The news of the genuine bookstore?"

"Yes."

Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang looked at each other tacitly.

There must be something going on.

Because Zhang Fei didn't do any publicity at all during the previous period, and public opinion has been controlled by the other party, which made them very puzzled.

Now Zhang Fei finally made a move.

Fu Bi took it over and took a look, first he was surprised and said: "This article was issued by the tax department."

Looking down carefully again, after a while, he exclaimed: "Self-declaration?"

Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang said in unison: "Self-declaration?"

I don't seem to understand what it means.

Fu Bi raised his head and glanced at him, and said: "The Taxation Department stipulates that people must go to the designated place to declare their own wealth and income."

Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang are still at a loss.

Is this a joke?

You must know that in the past, he was an official, and Li Zheng ran to the people's homes to check carefully to see how many fields and property his family had.

If you declare yourself, who will tell the truth? In the end, every household has to investigate.

Fu Bi handed the newspaper to Wen Yanbo, and Sima Guang couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly got up and came behind Wen Yanbo, and started to read along with him.

Fu Bi was staring at the side thinking.

Wen Yanbo looked at it and said, "So the tax department is going to use spot checks to prevent tax evasion?"

Sima Guang said: "I think the key is not here, but that the tax department will use the public prosecutor's law to collect taxes. Taxes."

Fu Bi suddenly smiled and nodded, "I see."

Sima Guang asked: "Why did the rich man say that?"

Fu Bi said: "Didn't I tell you before that Zhang San proposed to give more tolerance to the people on the grounds of the three cardinal principles and five constant principles in terms of taxation. I understand this truth, but I have been doing it lately. I think, if you want to give tolerance to the people, you have to go to the government first, but the current taxation system generally does not go to the government.

But now this kind of arrangement can put this thought into it, because during the trial process, the imperial court can give lenient or severe judgments according to specific objects and specific matters. "

Wen Yanbo said: "But let the people declare by themselves, and use spot checks to recover the money, can the people declare truthfully?"

"It's hard to talk about ordinary people, some people might hide it." Fu Bi suddenly asked again: "But what about the rich?"

Fu Bi asked himself and answered: "The previous taxation system often failed to collect taxes from the rich, but in this way, the rich would not dare. The gain outweighs the loss."

Wen Yanbo nodded: "This article also mentioned that once it is judged as tax evasion, the defendant will bear all the costs of prosecution, and at the same time have to pay a certain fine according to the amount of tax evasion, but the specific details have not yet been announced. The amount of the fine, it really doesn't benefit the rich."

Sima Guang nodded: "The tax department will definitely pay more attention to the rich and sue the poor, and the income may not be as good as the cost of the lawsuit."

Wen Yanbo asked again: "But does this tax department have such great capabilities?"

Sima Guang looked at Fu Bi first, and then thoughtfully said: "The tax department only needs to verify, and the prosecution is the responsibility of the procuratorate. Once the prosecution is filed, the final judgment is in the hands of the imperial court. That is to say, The tax department does not need much power at all, they need the means of tax inspection."

Fu Bi nodded and said: "The procuratorate has been doing nothing before, but this time they are busy. It can even be said that once this matter is implemented, the public prosecutor's law will really work."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "But the best thing is that by doing this, he can avoid the previous bureaucracy and make those methods useless."

Wen Yanbo nodded again and again: "Yes! If they do this, they only need to send some bookkeepers to record, and those officials can't interfere at all. Everything will be controlled by the tax department, and the people will No longer worry about your account being super-classed.”

Sima Guang caressed his beard and said, "No wonder Zhang San ignored the propaganda this time. In this way, those newspapers and articles before will become very ridiculous."

Wen Yanbo said: "However, there are loopholes in it. People declare by themselves, so they may not be able to consider everything. Many people don't know a single word, and they don't know how to count. If they make a wrong report or miss a report, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the tax department to oppress the people? ?””

Fu Bi pondered a little: "The imperial court does not have to rule in favor of the procuratorate. It has to be tried, and the imperial court must make a judgment according to the law. The key is legislation. We can make up for these loopholes through the Legislative Council .”

Wen Yanbo said hehe: "It's been around for a long time, the key is here, it seems that we didn't come to the wrong place today!"

The biggest difference between this law and the previous system is the decentralization of power and mutual checks and balances. In the past, the government had the final say, whether it was the tax law or the judiciary, but now the tax department and the judicial departments such as the procuratorate and the imperial court , are mutually independent.

The tax department can only sue, and ultimately the judiciary decides. How the judiciary decides depends on the legislation.

Wen Yanbo is very right. This is a huge loophole in self-declaration, and many people will not settle for it. If there is no legislation on this, many problems may arise.

Stop the two government regulations.

"Zhang San's move is really amazing!"

Lu Huiqing said excitedly: "If you declare by yourself, it will make the rich businessmen and landlords very uncomfortable. Their previous methods may not work. And you don't need to think about it, the tax department will definitely stare at them Yes, only by suing them will you get a huge fine.

The thing that the common people were most worried about before was that the government raised their household status. Now that they declare independently, they naturally don’t have to worry about this. When the time comes, they don’t need to pay much.

The most important thing is that this can avoid the entire administration of officials, which is how the public security law is used. "

Their reform is to levy taxes on the rich, but the resistance is very strong. Wang Anshi can only think of all kinds of weird tricks.

However, Zhang Fei has more ideas when he declares by himself. The poor may dare to gamble. Anyway, I will die, but the rich must be very afraid. If this is found out, it will be fatal. .

But speaking, seeing Wang Anshi sitting there, Lu Huiqing frowned and said nothing, and couldn't help asking: "Does your mentor think it's wrong?"

"Of course not."

Wang Anshi said depressedly: "To do all this, you must have a sound public security law, otherwise, doing so will only make a mess. At present, this can only be done in Kaifeng Mansion. I can't wait for Sima Jun In fact, we should implement judicial reform first, after all, I don’t have a lifespan of two hundred years.”

Lu Huiqing nodded slightly: "That's true. The reason why Zhang San dared to do this is that Kaifeng Prefecture has a tax department, a procuratorate, an imperial court, and the royal police. The officials in the government office are also very critical."

Wang Anshi said angrily: "I originally planned to use the royal police to try to rectify the bureaucracy, and see if it is feasible. I never thought that this kid would avoid the entire bureaucracy instead of rectifying it, and he heavily relied on the public security system at night. , Kaifeng Mansion can be avoided, but how to avoid other places, let us learn from this."

Lu Huiqing said: "But I have to admit that his approach is very suitable for our new policy. It can force those big landlords and even government households to pay taxes, but I don't know if it will work in the local area."

When Wang Anshi heard this, he became even more angry: "It's all the fault of that little old man, Sima Junshi, who is dawdling and doesn't know what he is doing."

Imperial City.

"Zihua, I told you a long time ago that although this kid does things out of the ordinary, unexpected, and gnashing his teeth with hatred, he will always solve the problem."

Lu Gong wrote to Han Jiang with a smile.

Han Jiang hummed: "What is the solution? He is throwing all the problems at Si Nong Si. After all, they are just counting households and so on. It is our Si Nong Si who really sets the tax. This money cannot be less .”

Lu Gong said: "I said Han Zihua, you usually understand everything at once, why this time, you can't figure it out."

Han Jiang asked: "I would like to hear a good opinion."

Lu Gong said: "If everyone reports the truth, and you also pay taxes according to the law, how much money can you get if you share it equally."

Han Jiang's eyes lit up, and said: "Yes! If everyone dare not evade taxes and lie about their family wealth, then it will not increase the burden on the people."

Lu Gong wrote: "I even thought that the summer tax and autumn tax are also collected in this way."

Han Jiang glanced at him: "That will offend many people."

Mr. Lu said hehe: "That's also the matter of the tax department. It has nothing to do with me."

Han Jiang asked again: "Will the officials of your third division agree?"

The smile on Lu Gong's face gradually receded, and he said again: "But the summer and autumn taxes should also belong to the tax department's authority. Let's see how much this tax department is capable of."
