Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 434: Tax war (eight)

After all, this **** is still old and spicy.

Wen Yanbo's seemingly insignificant proposal, but its role should not be underestimated.

At least this will give them a reason to appease the officials below.

If it is said that the tax department took away all the face and good points, it may also provoke a more violent counterattack.

Wen Yanbo's governing style can be summed up in one word---stable.

Moreover, canceling the title of royal tax police is also beneficial to the emperor's neutral position.

Zhao Xu also adopted their suggestions, expressing respect for Zuo Ting's judgment on the grounds that it is inconvenient to interfere with the judiciary.

Not saying support.

At the same time, the Zhengshitang officially issued a decree, giving a clear distinction to all judicial upstarts.

In fact, the higher-level officials of each department already have formal titles and powers.

The key is the expansion of the police station by 10,000 police officers.

Wang Anshi's previous strategy was to recruit them to the police station first, and then divide them up, and use these auxiliary police officers to carry out the affairs of officials in various departments. and responsibility.

However, Wang Anshi did not say at the time.

Because he didn't know that so many things would happen in such a short period of time.

Don't talk about the common people, the tax police and the court police are not very clear about their relationship with the police station, because they are all transferred from the auxiliary police, and their identities are not clear.

This time Zhengshitang differentiated their relationship.

The police officers of each department are not affiliated with each other.

Once you transfer from the police station to the other department, you will no longer belong to the police station.

In this decree, the names of the police officers of various departments are very clearly written, tax police, court police, prosecutors and royal police.

It was not clearly stated, but it was not clearly stipulated at the time, but it was clear at a glance that only the police were named "royal".

In other words, there is no Royal Tax Police.

This political signal is very obvious, combined with Zhao Xu's statement.

Simply put, I am not biased towards either side.

Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang also took this matter to appease the officials below. People like Qin Biao have bad deeds and are unreasonable. We can't speak for you, but we still stop taxation. The police dubbed the title of "royal" to prevent them from doing whatever they want.

It's hard for the officials below to say anything.

As for this verdict, there is a lot of discussion in the market. Generally speaking, most common people still support this verdict. The door of their house is like Zhihu. If you want to use siege equipment, you can only say You are dead.

The key point is that they are very dissatisfied with the previous officials, and they support the tax police.

Of course the rich are against it.

However, this objection belongs to the objection, and some people are still frightened.

A lot of people went to the office immediately, saying that they had accidentally omitted some income when declaring it, and they were willing to make up for it, hoping that the office could help them fight for it and avoid being punished.

"So much?"

Zhang Fei held the ledger in his hand and looked at Fan Li in surprise.

Fan Li sighed: "Who would know that the tax department is so powerful, so when it was declared at the beginning, it will be more or less underreported."

Zhang Fei said: "I'm not referring to the tax department, but these bastards, who even kept us secret."

Most of these people are clients of the firm.

Fan Li immediately said: "That's your fault too, you said we can't help with false reports, they have no choice but to not report. But other bookstores are trying to cover up for customers, so many big landlords go to The Li family ran."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The customers we target are different. They are people who help evade taxes, and we are people who help pay more taxes. If we also help those big landlords calculate taxes, there will be a lot of trouble among these customers. Contradictory, what should we do then?"

Fan Li nodded and said: "I understand this. In fact, we still earn more than them. After all, we have more customers. It's just... It's just that this matter is not very flattering. After all, the government still wants to charge more They will not offend the government if they help people conceal taxes, but if we help people declare the truth, they will offend the government.”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I never thought that the staff could understand so thoroughly."

Fan Li said: "I'm doing all this, can I not understand, the officials who were urging taxes before, never gave us a good face when they saw our people."

"You can make a lot of money by doing what others can't do."

Zhang Fei handed back the accounts in hand to Fan Li, "You sent a letter to talk to the tax department, saying that it was their first declaration and there were some omissions. I hope the tax department can handle it leniently. I think the problem should be Not too much, even if there is a penalty, it can't be too much, after all, they don't hide much."

Fan Li nodded and said, "I'll let Zhengwen go for a visit after I've figured it out later."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Are there many taxpayers from the Li family?"

Fan Li said: "A lot of people have gone there recently, but as far as I know, it's not to pay taxes."

Zhang Fei nodded: "It's expected."

The people who came to the office were all small shopkeepers and small landlords. Although some of them reported their income according to the facts, many of them also concealed some income. They declared their income according to the tax collection standard of Sinong Temple. Income, if the income is less than a dozen or so, and there is income that is not easy to investigate, it can be downgraded to one level, of course it is a little underreporting.

But now that the tax department has become famous in one battle, they are so scared that they rush to make up for it. After all, they don't have any big backers behind them.

However, the big landlord hardly moved.

Just as Fan Li went out with the account book, Fan Zheng walked in.

"Fan Da, why are you here?"

Zhang Fei looked at Fan Zheng who had just entered in a little surprise.

Fan Zheng said with a smile: "Third brother is very clever, you should be able to guess why I came here?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't guess."

"Unexpectedly, there are things that the third brother can't guess."

"There are too many."

Zhang Fei asked again: "What is it?"

Fan Zhengdao: "It's about the charity foundation. Didn't we donate a sum of money to buy police uniforms for the auxiliary police?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Fan Zhengdao: "At that time, the tax police and the royal police were not separated, and we did not distinguish between them, but now many people say that they cannot donate a penny to the tax department."

"So that's what happened." Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Everything is done according to the rules. If everyone is unwilling to donate, then don't donate."

Fan Zheng said again: "At the same time, we also received some donations, a total of more than 8,000 yuan, and they requested that all donations be donated to the Royal Police."

"What?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Is that an exaggeration?"

Fan Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't the third brother read yesterday's Fengyue Bao?"

Zhang Fei said in a bad mood: "The Fengyue newspaper is just for fame. It talks about the love between talented scholars and courtesans, but it doesn't talk about things in the boudoir, so I'm not interested in reading it."

Fan Zheng asked curiously: "Can you also report the things in the boudoir?"

Zhang Fei blinked and asked, "Can't you?"

Fan Zhengdao: "Third brother should know more about legal matters than me, right?"

Zhang Fei said: "I don't know, and I have no intention of doing so."

So you asked Fu Shichun to do it?

Fan Zheng laughed dryly, and said again: "Third Brother is right, Brother Xiaochun's Fengyue News often reported what happened in some restaurants, and in the past two days, the yamen went to drink in my Baifanlou. Arguing with people.

The reason is that some people think that the yamen and the tax police are in collusion, but the yamen said that their royal police have nothing to do with the tax police, and that it was the police station that sued the tax department to the imperial court. The lawsuit was not won.

And Ya Nei will also say that the Royal Police will protect the property of the people and prevent the tax police from doing whatever they want. And this controversy was finally published in Feng Yue Bao. I think it was because of this that someone donated to the police station. "

Zhang Fei blinked, "Is this intentionally arranged by the yamen?"

"...?"

Fan Zheng hesitated for a while, and asked embarrassingly, "How did the third brother know?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Because I told him that the royal police can check and balance the tax police."

Suddenly, I heard singing from outside, "Sorrow is fake, tears are real...!"

The voice is very arrogant!

It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.

The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, "This guy won't even let go of my classic songs."

After a while, I saw Cao Dongdong humming a ditty he heard from Zhang Fei, and he walked in triumphantly. When he saw Fan Zheng, he immediately said: "Fan Da, you are indeed here."

He jumped forward a few steps and said excitedly: "I heard that many people donate to our Royal Police, don't they?"

Fan Zheng nodded.

Cao Dongdong immediately said: "Hurry up and bring the money, it happens that my police station is very short of money."

"Wait!"

Zhang Fei said: "Ya Nei, I came up with this idea, you actually cheap Fengyue Bao, not my news paper?"

Cao Dongdong was stunned for a moment, and said hehe: "I was planning to find you before, but Brother Xiaochun said that it's not good for you to help the tax department to file a lawsuit, so he thought of this idea for me again, let me go There was a show in Baifanlou, and the effect was good, and someone immediately donated money to my police station, fortunately I didn't look for you at the beginning."

Fan Zheng said with a smile: "Recently, Fengyue has indeed sold better than Celebrity and News."

Zhang Fei snorted, "That's just because I don't have time to be distracted now, otherwise, his Fengyue newspaper would have been closed long ago."

"Really?"

Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei strangely.

Zhang Fei said: "When I'm done with this, I'll go and tell Xiaochun, who the **** is the overlord of the newspaper industry."

Just at this time, a royal policeman walked in quickly, seeing Cao Dongdong, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Deputy Superintendent."

Seeing that his expression was different, Cao Dongdong immediately stepped forward, the two exchanged in a low voice for a while, Cao Dongdong turned his head and said: "I have something to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Zhang Fei and Fan Zheng looked at each other, realizing that something might happen.

Soon, they will know.

It turned out that at dawn today, the tax department attacked again and raided a big landlord named Liu in Xiangfu County. The situation was more serious than the first time. It is said that there was a fight between the two sides, and five people were injured on the other side. , it is not yet known whether anyone died.

.......

Tax Division.

"Saburo is here!"

"Li Xingshou?"

When Zhang Fei rushed to the tax department, he happened to meet Li Guozhong and others, "Why are you here?"

Li Guozhong said: "I am employed by Liu Yuanwai, and I will accompany him to surrender."

"Surrender yourself?"

"Yeah!"

Li Guozhong said: "When the tax department raided Liu's house, Mr. Liu happened to come to the city to invite our bookstore to help him communicate with the tax department, re-declare his finances, and pay back taxes. How could this happen."

Zhang Fei smiled but said: "What a coincidence."

Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "This is not a coincidence. The previous lawsuit by Saburo really deterred many people. Recently, many people have come to your office and want to pay back taxes."

Zhang Fei did not make a sound.

Li Guozhong glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Sanlang, the tax department is not the way to go on like this. The owner is not here, and the servants dare not let the tax police into the hospital easily. It is also possible to say that they will notify the owner. It turned out that the tax police broke in directly, and injured five servants of the Liu family, and arrested twenty-four people. Is this... is this a bit too much?"

When Zhang Fei was about to answer, Li He suddenly walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Sanlang."

"Si Wu Li!"

Zhang Fei clapped his hands back with a salute, and said to Li Guozhong: "Excuse me first."

After entering the house with Li He, Zhang Fei asked, "Li Siwu, what's the matter?"

Li He said: "The thing is like this. A few days ago we found that Liu Ping in Xiangfu County had concealed 50 hectares of land, so we decided to raid the Liu family at dawn. Since Liu Ping has a good reputation in the village, It is not as domineering as Qin Biao before, so we did not break the door directly this time, but explained our purpose to the servants of the Liu family.

However, we were provoked and obstructed by the servants of the other party, and someone even attacked our tax police with stones from behind, so we used force to break in, and they resisted for a while. Three people were injured, and all the servants were arrested and brought to justice.

But when they came to the Tax Department, the servants said that they told the tax police that Liu Ping was not at home. And entered, and also beat them. "

Zhang Fei said, "Are there any witnesses?"

Li He said: "Our tax police didn't find anyone around at that time."

Zhang Fei nodded, and then asked, "About Liu Ping's tax evasion evidence?"

Li He said: "The evidence is solid."

Just at this time, a tax policeman entered the house and murmured in Li He's ear.

"I see."

Li He nodded, and said to Zhang Fei: "Just now Liu Ping said that he came to the city this time because he wanted to pay taxes."

"Li Xingshou told me just now."

Zhang Fei nodded, and then asked, "What do you think of Li Siwu?"

Li He said: "This matter is out of my control, and it doesn't matter how I look at it."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Siwu Li really has a personality. All right, you can do everything as usual and leave the rest to me. Oh, tell the tax police that as long as they enforce the law impartially, there is no need to worry about it. "

He went out and met Su Zhe who had just arrived.

"Wow... your procuratorate came so fast?"

"It's not as fast as you." Su Zhe said.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "To make money, you have to be one step ahead."

Su Zhe said: "But money is not easy to earn."

Zhang Fei whispered: "This is obviously a trap."

Su Zhe just smiled at this, "Excuse me."
