Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 220: Rugged enough, treacherous enough, many brothers

The reason why Zhang Fei insists on governing the country first is that the top-level design of the Northern Song Dynasty is very good. It already has the ability to manage a commercial society, but it is a little overstaffed.

Let's say that the civil servants' first day group all have very strong management skills, and there is no one who is trying to gain fame.

There is no problem in terms of talent replenishment.

Even the most criticized use of literature to control martial arts is actually not a problem. War is the continuation of politics.

Even if it is a thousand years later, in any mature political structure, civil servants decide. It is impossible to let the military future decide whether to fight or not. If the military future decides, the war will never stop.

How can a general be promoted without fighting.

It should not be that the emperor and civil servants of the Song Dynasty liked to direct the war directly by remote control.

This is outrageous.

Whether to fight or not is to be decided by civil officials, but how to fight should be left to the generals to decide.

The main problem of the Song Dynasty was actually the centralization of the bottom.

The bottom layer is mixed with good and bad.

Compared with the top layer, it is completely two concepts.

The top level is fully able to handle the entry of agriculture into commerce. Fu Bi, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang all have macroeconomic concepts and know how to regulate them, but their ideas are different.

But the bottom layer can do nothing about it.

Just say tax collection.

The Tang Dynasty was an equal-field system, and tax collection only required every household to knock on the door, ask for it, beg for it, and rob it, which was simple and rude.

But in the Song Dynasty, this was completely unacceptable. Land deeds and deed taxes must be the main focus, because land in the Song Dynasty can be bought and sold at will, and tax collectors must be able to read and write, and they must be able to do arithmetic, and they must renew at least twice a year cadastre.

Not to mention the commercial tax, which is 10,000 times more complicated than the agricultural tax.

But the current situation is that it is completely unable to cope, causing some people to pay more taxes, and some landlords to pay less taxes.

The bottom layer must be specialized.

The result of specialization is the multiplication of expenditure costs.

In fact, the Song Dynasty also wanted to specialize. For example, auditing and forensic medicine had already been specialized, but there were still too few of them. There was no other reason, but there was no money.

Therefore, the first step of professionalization must be taxation specialization.

You have to collect the money first before you can qualify for all-round specialization.

Moreover, as far as this tax lawsuit is concerned, without professional support, it is difficult to last for a long time. It is impossible for every tax lawsuit to have the emperor and prime minister to help behind it.

Shenzong understands!

So he hardly thought about it, so he decided to give it a try.

It's about making money for the country.

Wang Anshi is the most ruthless person Shenzong has ever seen, but the most ruthless Wang Anshi never thought of collecting deed taxes from grassroots bandits in the past.

It can only be said that there are still mountains as high as mountains, and strong players are even stronger.

It's so ruthless!

He loves it!

You can rebel, but you have to pay taxes!

This is the real money making for the country!

After sending Shenzong away, Zhang Fei had a simple meal at Xu's house, and chatted with Xu Zun about it.

Of course, he whispered to Zhao Xu, and did not reveal Xu Zun, and the conversation was about the prosecution.

Xu Zun couldn't give him much advice on this.

Because legally speaking, it is completely possible. Anyone can report other people for tax evasion, and the imperial court encourages it.

But it is logically contradictory.

Wang Anshigui is a political adviser, and he has the power to inspect taxes. If there is evidence, he can directly send someone to sue the client. Isn't this superfluous?

But this contradiction does not exist for Zhang Fei, he has to do things after receiving money.

The next thing he has to do is to write the pleadings and send them to Kaifeng Mansion.

As for whether it can be done or not, that has nothing to do with him.

"Sanlang, you are back."

Gao Wenyin was still as virtuous as ever, she stood in the front yard and greeted Zhang Fei with a smile on her face.

Zhang Fei just nodded slightly, and suddenly looked at Xiao Tao who was beside him.

There was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, which made Xiao Tao's heart tremble.

"Xiao Tao!"

"In!"

"From now on, you are not allowed to bask in the sun or eat candied fruit in the courtyard." Zhang Fei said seriously.

"I see, thank you for your concern."

"Care?"

"Third Brother, isn't he afraid that I will be exposed to the sun?"

Motivated, Xiaotao said, "It's been so hot recently, I usually eat in the corridor."

"!"

This girl cannot be taught. never mind! Zhang Fei looked at Gao Wenyin again, "And you, Ma'am."

"Me?"

Gao Wenyin looked at Zhang Fei with astonishment.

Zhang Fei said: "You can't just help me drive away mosquitoes when I'm doing things, but also help me drive away mosquitoes when I'm sleeping."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "I'll check before Sanlang goes to bed. Has Sanlang had any mosquitoes while sleeping?"

"Really?"

Zhang Fei blinked: "No wonder I have never been bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping, thank you Madam."

Gao Wenyin nodded slightly and said, "No thanks, this is what I should do."

Wait, what am I here for? Here! Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and lamented, "I'm really **** in execution."

"?"

Gao Wenyin and Xiaotao looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Fei immediately gave up on disciplining them, and said to Feng Nanxi and Niu Beiqing, "Lao Qi, Daniel, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Calling the two into the hall, Zhang Fei asked: "Lao Qi, I remember you mentioned before that you know many people from the world, or you can say, green forest heroes?"

Niu Beiqing immediately patted his chest and said, "We have quite a few brothers, and we all know each other in every state and county."

"Stop bragging."

Feng Nanxi glared at this guy, and said to Zhang Fei: "Actually, we also met with Dalang and Erlang, and their brothers met many good men outside."

Niu Beiqing said: "Da Lang Erlang knows it, and I know it more or less, but I'm not very familiar with it."

Zhang Fei asked: "What kind of work do these Jianghu people you know usually do?"

Feng Nanxi said: "Dalang Erlang makes friends and never asks about his background, so there are all kinds of people, such as quack doctors, businessmen, Yasi, Yaren, even monks and Taoists."

"Erlang?"

Zhang Fei was thoughtful.

The next day.

Of course Zhang Fei didn't go to the office, his most urgent task was to finish writing the pleadings with Xu Zhiqian.

And this pleading paper is also a historical record.

They are going to accuse 108 people, and they have to write the evidence into the pleadings.

This is not a brain job, but a drudgery.

For this reason, Zhang Fei asked Feng Nanxi to come and help.

"Third brother!"

Li Si came to the door suddenly, "Someone is looking for you outside."

Zhang Fei asked: "Who?"

Li Sidao: "The man just said that he was entrusted by others to pass a message to you, third brother."

Could it be! Zhang Fei blinked and said in his heart, it seems that the officials are serious, they sent people over just this morning, can I do it, forget it, our execution is not enough, let's use intelligence to make up for it!

Xu Zhiqian suddenly asked: "Could it be related to this lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei replied: "Your senior brother gave me something."

Xu Zhiqian was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Then you go!"

As soon as he came to the front yard, Zhang Fei suddenly said to Li Si: "Go and invite that man to the back yard."

"Yes."

After a while, Li Si came to the backyard with a seven-foot-long man in his thirties.

"Li Bao met Zhang Sanlang."

When this man saw Zhang Fei, he clasped his fists and saluted.

"Zhang Fei." Zhang Fei clasped his fists in return, then stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Li, please sit down."

"Thank you!"

After sitting down, Zhang Fei asked, "Which government office does Brother Li belong to?"

Li Bao said: "I belong to the Imperial City Division."

That is, the highest secret service department in the Northern Song Dynasty. The person who went to Dengzhou to rescue Fang Yun was also a member of the Imperial City Division.

Zhang Fei nodded and asked again: "How many people in the court know the identity of Brother Li?"

Li Bao said: "Only the officials know about our team."

It seems that the officials still understand the routine very well. Zhang Fei asked: "How many people do you have?"

Li Bao replied: "Six people."

"Six people?"

Zhang Fei nodded and asked again: "But now I want to investigate the land tax situation of 108 people in a short period of time. How can you six people do it?"

Li Bao said: "I'm just in charge of contacting Sanlang, and the officials will help us at that time, please rest assured Zhang Sanlang."

Zhang Fei asked again: "If the officials don't provide help, can you do it?"

Li Bao was slightly taken aback, and said: "It can't be done in a short time."

Zhang Fei couldn't help showing disappointment.

This made Li Bao very humiliated. Six people checked the taxes of 108 people. You think we are gods! Asked curiously: "Does Saburo think that we can do it?"

Zhang Fei asked instead: "What do you think is the most important thing in our business?"

Li Bao pondered a little, "Secret."

"Wrong!"

Zhang Fei said: "In our business, there are three magic weapons, ruthless enough, treacherous enough, and many brothers."

Li Bao was dumbfounded when he heard that, "Please forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what Saburo said?"

Zhang Fei said: "You have to remember one thing, the water flows to the lower place, and the tax goes to the higher place, so the tax source is actually in the lower place, not the higher place, so the investigation must start from the root. , It’s useless to have too many people, you need to know enough people.

So making friends with a high official of the imperial court is far less helpful for tax inspection than making friends with a secretary, a water official, or a barman. If you know enough people, you can check the taxes of these 108 people by yourself. "

Li Bao nodded, "I understand."

Zhang Fei said: "I will tell the officials at that time, to increase your funding and meet new friends, the test is not skill, let alone concealment, but money. In addition, I will introduce someone to join you, he will be able to Teach you, how to make friends with those traffickers or pawns or heroes."

Li Bao said: "We can't decide on this matter, we must get permission from the government."

Not everyone can join their team.

"I will tell the officials about this."

Zhang Fei nodded, and handed the information written yesterday to Li Bao, "It states what you need to find out and how to do it. Remember this and use any means. If you can't finish it, then Our destiny is here."

Li Bao took the documents, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry Zhang Sanlang, we will definitely complete the task."

In fact, they still have plenty of time to perfect these evidences.

Because it took three full days to write the pleading paper, and another half day to sort it out.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Fei took a carriage to Kaifeng Mansion.

This intimacy is overwhelming.

The four servants at the gate saw Zhang Fei, two guarded the drum, and two blocked the gate.

That's a lot of experience.

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I am no longer the reckless young man I was back then. I hope that my brother can help me pass the message that Zhang San has something to ask the prefect Lu."

After a stick of incense.

Inner hall.

"Why are you here again?"

When Li Kai saw Zhang Fei, he already had a pregnancy reaction, feeling sick and wanting to vomit

Lv Gong next to him looks calm and calm on the surface, but he is extremely depressed in his heart. I will be transferred soon, can't you come back a few months later?

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't blame the judge, actually I don't want to bother Lu Zhifu and Li Tong judge, but I can't help it, that's what I did."

Li Kaidao: "You can go to other places to sue, the left hall, the right hall, the Secretary of Records, haven't you been there?"

Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "The Left and Right Departments may not be able to handle this case."

Lu Gong felt a little bit in his heart.

Li Kai directly revealed his depression, "What case?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Li Tong. The people involved this time are not big, but there are a lot of people. Only the Kaifeng government has the ability to hear this case."

There are so many people that only the provincial government can interrogate them? I have never encountered such a thing. It is generally said that the level is very high, so they have to come to the provincial capital. There have never been too many people to come to the province.

Lu Gong couldn't help asking: "How many people?"

Zhang Fei said: "One hundred and eight people."
