Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 416: Paying taxes is an obligation

Government Hall.

"Although we have already seen the influence of this newspaper, until today, I still think that the imperial court still underestimated this newspaper!"

Wen Yanbo put a newspaper on the table and shook his head solemnly.

Although he is against the recruitment law, the contents of the newspapers and periodicals now make him worried.

All kinds of newspapers are overwhelmingly tracking the expansion of the police force, and then use this to speculate on the exemption tax.

This is not taught by Zhang Fei, but the literati have mastered the gameplay of this newspaper, and various innovative articles are emerging one after another.

Lu Gongzhu nodded: "I have read all these newspapers and periodicals. People are panicking. The public opinion in the market has begun to change again. Even the wealthy households who previously supported the labor law have become hesitant."

I only heard one person in the outer room say: "This is not according to the rules, no wonder everyone has a lot of speculation, this is all asked by the police station."

Before he finished speaking, Han Jiang walked in.

Sima Guang asked: "What? Is it not going well with you?"

Han Jiang was so angry that she shook her head and said, "It's not going well, I don't know what I should do?"

Wen Yanbo sighed: "For this kind of thing, at the beginning of the preparation, we should have kept a low profile, conducted multiple investigations, and appeased the people, so that the people understand the pros and cons, so that it can be implemented."

Han Jiang said depressedly: "I also planned to do this, but you discussed at the beginning to let the royal police replace the Yaqian, so that Sinong Temple could not intervene at all."

Wen Yanbo hurriedly said: "It's not our suggestion, but Wang Jiefu's suggestion."

Lu Gongzhu suddenly said: "The police station hired Zhang San, so it's not surprising, he is such a way, first make things big, and then solve the problem."

Han Jiang said: "But how to solve this problem? This is not a lawsuit. It is about finances. They have to spend so much money for such an arrangement. Where does the money come from? There is no way to be opportunistic, plus these The publicity of the newspapers and periodicals, people are on guard, I want to see how to raise this tax."

Wen Yanbo said: "You can't be arrogant, this matter can be big or small, if the police station wants to force the exemption tax, there will be turmoil, you must prevent this situation."

Han Jiang sighed heavily, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I won't let them mess around."

Sima Guang, who had been silent all this time, was also uneasy.

They, the prime ministers, can see very clearly that now the other side is waiting for them to collect the exemption tax. Once the collection is started, someone will inevitably encourage the people to make trouble.

This propaganda was completely suppressed by the other party.

They are just against the recruitment law, but they don't want to directly break out the unrest.

But it's a trend these days, and it's very dangerous.

Although the final authority to set the tax is in the Si Nong Temple, but this newspaper keeps attacking the exemption tax, and some people may take the opportunity to make trouble at that time.

As a result, Han Jiang wanted to retreat. He is actually very responsible, but the problem is that you all did this, and you didn’t discuss it with me. In the end, I was the one who set the tax. Let me recite.

That's really unfair.

......

Inside the carriage.

"Third brother, recently I have inquired about several military officers who once served in the front of the Yamen and special escorts. This business can be done, as long as we recruit experienced people who are familiar with the road conditions in various places, we can design it in advance. The route, and the remuneration is calculated according to conventional transportation, and the profit is quite a lot. It's just...."

Hesitating for a while, Fan Zheng continued: "It's just that the cost of transportation is not low. If we do business with the imperial court, we are afraid that the imperial court will rely on us, or talk to us about it." If we don’t want to lower the price, we will offend people. Also, many people in the officialdom are also cruel, so isn’t Shi Dalang killed by someone?”

After some investigation, Fan Zheng was both happy and excellent. He was happy that this is indeed a good business. As long as it is done well, the profit is very considerable. The key point is that no businessman can compete with it.

What is worrying is that there are too many hidden dangers, not because he is afraid of robbery, wind and rain, and he wants to do this business. Daodao, those people are sophisticated.

Because compared to the officialdom, those grass bandits are as gentle as sheep.

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "I said Fan Da, you are really smart for a lifetime, and you have been in trouble for a while!"

Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously: "What do you think San Ge said?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Go back and see who are the big donors in our charity foundation."

Fan Zheng blinked, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, many patrons are followed by dignitaries."

"You just thought of it!"

Zhang Fei said: "I can't say this clearly. After all, they didn't donate explicitly, they just sent people to try it secretly, but if this business can be done, it can make a lot of money, and it can also transport goods for those powerful people. Naturally, someone will help us solve these problems.

Also, there may be more dignitaries joining our foundation in the future, and the problems you foresee will become easier. "

Fan Zheng nodded again and again: "It's me, Hutu, who actually ignored this point."

"That's why I said that only we can do this business." Zhang Fei added: "The problem we have to overcome is not the sophistication of people in the officialdom, but whether we can safely send the goods to the other shore. As long as we clearly mark the price, everyone will have nothing to say."

Fan Zheng nodded: "Third Brother, please rest assured, I am sure I can do this."

"That's it."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Why is it here so soon?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help being taken aback.

Opening the curtains, I saw two tall men in black standing in front of the carriage. If they covered their faces, they would be proper assassins.

"Ah! It's Zhang Sanlang!"

When the two saw Zhang Fei, they couldn't help being surprised.

Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"

The two men glanced at each other first, and one of the men said: "Zhang Sanlang, I'm sorry! We are auxiliary police officers, and we are studying traffic regulations with our seniors, and checking the groom's driving order."

Zhang Fei said to Long Wu: "Long Wu, show them the driving order."

"Oh."

Long Wu immediately took out a small book and handed it to the auxiliary policeman.

"Thank you!"

The auxiliary policeman took it over with a little uneasiness, pointing to recognize it with his finger.

Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing and asked: "Are you literate?"

The auxiliary policeman said awkwardly: "I know a little bit."

Zhang Fei asked again: "But your uniform is too ugly, who changed it for you?"

The auxiliary policeman said: "It was arranged by the deputy superintendent, because the police station hasn't made police uniforms for us yet, so we asked us to wear black clothes first, because few people would wear black clothes in broad daylight."

"I see."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, then looked back at Fan Zheng, "Fan Da, if you want to improve the law and order in Baifan Building, donate some money to make police uniforms for them."

Fan Zheng nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes."

The two auxiliary police officers looked happy when they heard that.

"Hey! What are you doing, this is...!"

But seeing a royal policeman running over and seeing Zhang Feizhen sitting in the car, he hurriedly said: "Third brother, I'm really sorry, they are new here, I don't understand...!"

The first batch of royal policemen who came in were still full of respect for Zhang Fei, but it was Zhang Fei who brought them out.

"It's okay!"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "This proves that they are serious about their work."

A leadership tone.

The royal police were relieved to see that Zhang Fei didn't care.

After the inspection, the carriage moved slowly again.

Li Si outside the car suddenly said: "Third brother, there are so many auxiliary policemen on this road, there are auxiliary policemen standing at almost every intersection"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is no way, there is not much time left for them, they must immediately familiarize themselves with the code of conduct of the Royal Police."

As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "This is also the biggest shortcoming of this plan."

There are too many people recruited, and it is impossible to be busy for a while.

Fan Zheng suddenly said: "Why don't Sanlang suggest that the yamen should build an official office to train the police."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, "That's right! If you want to develop in the long run, you must do this. I'll talk to Yamen later."

When I came to the school grounds in Hexi, it was still overcrowded, and suddenly recruiting 10,000 people was not something that could be completed in a day or two.

They still entered the school grounds through the side door, and just as they arrived in the lobby, they heard Cao Dongdong's roar of filial piety.

"Remember! If you catch those little thieves, you must give me a good greeting. If you dare to break ground in our royal police, you are really tired of work."

Zhang Fei smiled when he heard it, "This yamen is quite elegant."

Fan Zheng said with a smile: "Don't have to say, teach people, the yamen is quite experienced."

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Does the Yamen often teach people a lesson?"

"Uh... Ya Nei is often taught by his father."

"Oh, so...!"

Entering the hall, I saw Cao Dongdong rubbing his hands on his waist, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and a royal policeman in front of him lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "What is it that made the yamen so angry?"

Cao Dongdong glanced at the two of them, waved his hand, and the royal policeman retreated immediately, and he sat down again, annoyed: "Recently, you are really too handsome."

Zhang Fei was taken aback, "Has Ya Nei ever been handsome?"

Cao Dongdong immediately jumped up, "Aren't you handsome in this yamen?"

"Uh... handsome, of course handsome." Zhang Fei asked curiously again: "But what do you say if you are too handsome?"

Cao Dongdong sighed and said: "Since the beginning of the new year, there have been more thieves in the city. That's nothing. We can't catch anyone. There are even rumors outside that our police will stop doing things after they become the Royal Police. That's true. It's unreasonable, we are obviously working harder than before."

Fan Zheng nodded: "Recently, I heard that there are indeed more thieves in the city."

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Then what's going on?"

Cao Dongdong said: "Last night, I thought about it with Xiao Ma and the others, and it was because of the police uniform."

"How do you say that?"

"Don't you understand that? Walking on the street wearing this police uniform, people can recognize it at a glance. Those little thieves are not stupid, they just hide from us and commit crimes. We are in the open, and they are in the dark. How to catch people."

Everyone has vanity. Since these policemen became the Royal Police, they show off everywhere, for fear that others will not know that they are the Royal Police.

"I see." Zhang Fei nodded.

Fan Zhengdao: "Then what is the Yamen going to do?"

Cao Dongdong grinned coldly: "Those little thieves are really looking for death to play this trick with this yamen. I found a group of people who don't wear police uniforms, and I went to catch them. That is, I am busy recruiting people now, otherwise If so, I will go there in person."

Zhang Fei subconsciously said: "Plainclothes policeman?"

"Plainclothes policeman?" Cao Dongdong blinked, "That's a good name, okay, I'll call it plainclothes policeman from now on."

Zhang Fei said: "But if you are wearing plain clothes, who would know that you are the Royal Police?"

Cao Dongdong snorted: "It doesn't matter, as long as we can beat them to the ground."

Nowadays, the police still often use violence when chasing. Zhang Fei didn't say anything about it.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I was afraid that the flood would wash up the Dragon King Temple, and it would be embarrassing for the plainclothes policemen to be caught by the Royal Police. Now that we have recruited so many Royal Policemen, how can we know all of them?"

Fan Zheng added: "When we came just now, we were stopped by several auxiliary police officers for inspection."

Cao Dongdong said: "That's true."

Zhang Fei said: "The yamen can order people to make some tokens, so it can be avoided."

"This is a good idea."

Cao Dongdong's eyes lit up, and his eyes suddenly shook a few times, hehe said: "Zhang San, Fan Da, your charity foundation hasn't donated money to us for a long time, your store, our royal police are the focus Take care, you see we have recruited so many police officers, the cost of the police uniforms...!"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "I said Ya Nei, you used to be very bold and spent a lot of money, why do you become...!"

Fan Zheng whispered: "He has always been like this."

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Really?"

Fan Zheng continued to lower his voice, "Could there be a good man from these three yamen? I have to give him wine every year and festival, otherwise, this guy will go to Panlou to complain that my wine has gone bad." Already."

Although Cao Dongdong is bold, he will not let anything go if he takes advantage of it.

Cao Dongdong faintly heard something, squinted at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang San, do you now know how kind I am to you?"

Forget it, what you are most afraid of is being caught by the Empress Dowager Cao for committing a crime. Zhang Fei was flattered and said: "I know! I know! Okay, we will carefully consider the issue of police uniforms. As for the police badge, I think you should discuss it with your father first."

Cao Dongdong said: "My father has recently become obsessed with calligraphy, and now I am in charge here."

Fan Zhengdao: "But at this time, the tokens have to be reported to the imperial court."

Cao Dongdong scratched his cheek, "It seems to be the same, okay, I'll ask about it first."

"The matter of donating money will be discussed later, you should sign this contract first."

Zhang Fei took out a contract and handed it to Cao Dongdong.

Cao Dongdong took it over and took a look, "Didn't our police station hire your firm? Why do we have to pay for it?"

Zhang Fei said: "Have you read the contract?"

"Of course not!"

"...!"

The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, "The sum of money is only for us to provide legal services and help you with advice. If you really want to file a lawsuit, you have to pay extra. Now the police station wants to hire all the lawyers in our firm. The pen will help you count households, etc., just a few hundred pens, do you want to get it done?"

Cao Dongdong scratched his head and said, "Can I owe you first? Our police station has recruited so many people this time, but we don't have much money."

The finances of this police station are a big problem now. That little license plate fee can't support the expenses of tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Fei said: "When you order me, you are very domineering and fascinating. When you pay, you should be bold."

Cao Dongdong smiled: "Okay, okay, I signed it, and I will send the money over."

Speaking, he awkwardly signed his name and stamped his seal.

After receiving the contract, Zhang Fei said again: "By the way, how many civil jobs have you found now?"

Cao Dongdong thought for a while, "There seems to be more than two hundred people."

Zhang Fei said: "Let them go with the ear pens in my office and experience it."

Cao Dongdong nodded.

Zhang Fei snorted: "There is more! Just now, Fan Da suggested that your police station should set up a special training academy for the Royal Police."

Cao Dongdong held his head up and thought for a while, "That's okay. Recently, our Royal Police have been bringing in new recruits day and night, but we are really tired."

As he spoke, he thought about it again, "But it can't be called an academy, it's too polite, it doesn't fit the temperament of our royal police, it can be called a police academy."

"Whatever you want."

Zhang Fei got up and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

Cao Dongdong hurriedly said: "Don't rush to leave! The pony has gone with the auxiliary police, you stay here and accompany me."

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "I took your money and did nothing, and you have to blame me."

Cao Dongdong looked at Fan Zheng and said, "Fan Da, I seem to owe you a few debts in your Baifan Building."

Fan Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to see how you recruited the Royal Police."

"Let's go! I'll take you there."

"Hey! Don't you send me?"

"Between us brothers, do you still have to see each other like this? Go back by yourself."

When he spoke, Cao Dongdong had already put his arms around Fan Zheng and was able to go out.

Zhang Fei shook the contract in his hand and said with a smile, "It's fine when the money is in place."

With the contract in hand, Zhang Fei went to Bianjing Law Firm.

Slap a paper contract directly on Fan Li's chest, "It's done."

Fan Li took a look at the contract and sighed: "It's comfortable for us to earn this money. Anyway, our people have to go to Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County to calculate taxes, but the problem is that this matter is reliable. Is it true? Let the common people declare their wealth by themselves, can there be a word of truth in this?"

Zhang Fei sat down, "Going to someone else's house to collect taxes, can that be called tax collection? That is called robbery. Paying taxes is an obligation, so we should be conscious. The key is that we don't have so many people to urge them to pay."

Fan Li said: "If I lie about my family wealth, what can you do?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "That's the tax department's business, you can try it."
