Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 422: Big Fish

Seriously.

Han Jiang really didn't believe it.

Why did you have to count households so much before? Isn’t it because those things are easy to look up, you can see them at a glance, every household has them, and when the country has no money, you can ask for more.

Of course, houses, fields, carriages and horses are also easy to check, but the problem is that most common people don't have these.

According to Zhang Fei, if you check them, you have to check their income.

It's really not that easy to investigate this thing.

"It's impossible."

Han Jiang shook her head, "For example, for the laborers on the dock, they move the money every day, and there is no contract certificate. How can I check?"

"I don't know about this, and the Taxation Department didn't explain it to me. But..." Zhang Fei changed the subject, and said, "But people are all running to the dock to move things, so I guess they don't have much money to pay. tax."

Han Jiang's expression froze, and she said again: "I'm just making an analogy. It's not easy to check the income of the common people."

Zhang Fei said: "If you want to investigate a person, you can find it quickly. After all, the income is to make money from others. It is impossible for a huge tax department to find out. If the household is reasonable, I believe that the common people will not take this risk."

Han Jiang frowned tightly, then turned her head to look at Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi didn't have any clue at the moment. This self-declaration really disrupted his overall plan.

If it is calculated based on income, and then shared equally, will it eventually be concentrated on the heads of official households and wealthy households?

Of course he also wants to collect more taxes from these people. In his eyes, the national finance is the first priority, but if he collects too much, the reformers will also turn against him.

If no one supports his reform, Zhao Xu will not be able to suppress it.

After thinking about it, Wang Anshi said: "Zihua, anyway, we are still making statistics, let's discuss it after we figure it out."

Han Jiang nodded, and he can only nod now.

Actually, he has the right to veto and self-declare. decree.

But the matter has come to this point, if he wants to stop suddenly before the result comes out, he will have to bear the responsibility.

"Go out first!"

Han Jiang raised her eyebrows to Zhang Fei and said.

"Yes, I will resign."

Zhang Fei bowed his hands and turned around to go out.

Sima Guang also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Zihua, Jiefu, I have something to do with my family, so I will take my leave first."

Han Jiang got up and bowed her hands back.

After Sima Guang left, Han Jiang said to Wang Anshi: "Jiefu, such a plan will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people, which will not be conducive to the implementation of the new law."

Wang Anshi sighed: "I also thought of this, but the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing I can do. At the beginning, I just wanted to use the police station to rectify... that's all, it's useless to say these now.

Tomorrow, many people will definitely ask us what kind of algorithm this is. Let's reassure them first, saying that this is just statistics and will not target anyone. "

Han Jiang nodded: "That's the only way."

But as he said that, he said again: "But with such a calculation method, plus the expenditure from the police station, I guess it will be very difficult to get less money!"

Wang Anshi frowned: "Although that brat looks a little reckless, but judging from the results, he has always grasped his sense of proportion. He probably wouldn't think of a way to make me in a dilemma."

......

"Stinky boy!"

When Sima Guang went out, he chased after Zhang Fei, "You are harming Jiefu! Those powerful people, seeing your calculation, it is clearly aimed at them, and they will definitely try their best to stop it." Wang Jiefu, and even many officials who supported Wang Jiefu before, may change their minds."

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Why is Bachelor Sima worrying about Bachelor Wang?"

"Isn't this your plan?"

Sima Guang snorted: "Your strategy is not only closely related to Wang Jiefu's new policy, but also closely related to judicial reform. If we are not careful, we will all fall into it."

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, please rest assured that the final result will not hurt them, but there will definitely be people who will be dissatisfied with this and challenge the tax department. This is also a part of judicial reform. If Judicial reform has no effect on these powerful people, so what's the point?"

Sima Guang pondered for a while, then nodded: "Of course I understand this, but don't overdo it."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I know."

If it were someone else, whether it was Sima Guang or Wang Anshi, they would stop it, because politics has never been rational, and the essence of politics is profit.

If this offends everyone, it won't work for anyone.

Although Wang Anshi brought the government households in, he still guaranteed that the government households would only pay half of the payment. , or conservatives, will not be able to stand this contrast.

This is playing with fire.

But judging from Zhang Fei's previous deeds, he is not that kind of reckless man, he is very measured. Based on this, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi felt that they would wait and see.

After all, it is only tax calculation now, and the right to determine tax is still in their hands.

The results were just as they expected.

On the second day, both the royal family and the officials began to complain.

You, Wang Anshi, are lying.

Your article is clearly written, and it is clear that what we officials pay is called the service tax, and those who want to serve are the ones who pay the exemption tax.

Based on this, the assistant tax will be halved.

This calculation is unreasonable. The law stipulates that we do not have to serve in the military, but you ask us to pay.

Now that you have such an algorithm, a large number of people will not have to pay taxes, so the cost of employment will be shared equally among a small number of people. Not to mention those second- and third-class households can't afford it, we officials can also bear it Sorry!

Wang Anshi expected it a long time ago, so he can only explain it to them. At present, it is only statistics. Your accusations are groundless and completely imaginary. Who told you that with this tax calculation method, the people do not have to pay taxes.

Who said that?

Come here, let me ask him.

Although many officials think that Wang Anshi is just trying to argue, they really have no good way to refute it.

Because what Wang Anshi said is true, it is just statistics at present.

Don't BB if you don't understand.

Compared to the complaints from the officialdom, there is a different scene in the public.

The citizens were also very nervous at first, but at the end of the day, they found that this matter was completely different from what they had imagined. The royal police were only asking about property that we did not have.

That's great!

The next day, the common people were very enthusiastic to self-declare, for fear that after passing through this village, there would be no such shop.

It's going very fast.

The most important thing is to let those auxiliary policemen get a very good training. They just applied for the job and encountered such a cumbersome job. They immediately followed the brothers to maintain order, and soon realized that the Royal Police and the The difference between the previous bureaucrats.

The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the people also touched their dignity.

The same thing is done by the Royal Police. It is so easy, comfortable, and reasonable. Of course, the people's favor for the Royal Police has doubled.

On the third day of the tax calculation in the city, the police station officially counted the rural households.

This is the tax calculation platform that relies entirely on Bianjing Law Firm.

Last year, the Bianjing Law Firm expanded on a large scale, and those earbuds were already hired by themselves to calculate taxes. Relying on Zhang Fei's prestige, every extra client brought him an extra income.

It has been rolled out in the countryside.

Baima Township, Luomapo.

I saw a long queue in front of a house.

This house belongs to Geng Ming. In order to repay Zhang Fei's kindness for avenging his grievances, he took the initiative to lend his house to the Royal Police as their base camp.

At present, the Royal Police still has relatively few strongholds in the countryside, and they only manage public areas, because no matter in the township or village, there are Lizheng and household heads.

"Brother Geng, how are you doing?"

Zhang Fei asked: "Then Wei Yushan didn't bother you again, did he?"

Geng Ming hurriedly said: "Thanks to benefactor's concern, everything is fine for Geng, and Wei Yushan has never looked for Geng in the future."

"That's good!"

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "What do you think of this recruitment law?"

Geng Ming immediately said: "Of course I support it. If I can pay taxes and be exempted from military service in the future, then it can be regarded as an end to my concern. It's just..."

Zhang Fei asked: "Just what?"

Geng Mingdao: "It's just that we, the upper-class households who have no power and power, are more supportive, and other rural households are not so supportive."

Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say that?"

Geng Mingdao: "Many villagers, serving in the military means patrolling the villages. They just try their best. If there are no special circumstances, they will not delay the family's farm work too much. But if they are asked to pay to be exempted from military service, most of them are unwilling. .”

Zhang Fei nodded.

"Sanlang! Brother Geng!"

Suddenly, an excited cry was heard.

The two turned their heads and saw Wei Yushan walking over brazenly.

Geng Ming's eyes sparkled, and he cupped his hands towards Zhang Fei and said, "Grandfather, Geng still has some things to deal with, so excuse me first."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Geng Ming snorted angrily, and left immediately.

Now that this land is being used by the Royal Police, he can't stop Wei Yushan from coming!

Wei Yushan walked over, glanced at Geng Ming's back, and sighed: "It seems that brother Geng is still angry with me!"

Zhang Fei was very happy, "Mr. Wei, if he is not angry, is he still a human?"

Wei Yushan immediately said: "You can't say that. I lost a lot of money when Sanlang appealed for his grievances in the lawsuit. I didn't care about it with Sanlang. To be a man, you should be more open-minded and care about that much." Tired!"

Zhang Fei was speechless, and said again: "Couldn't Mr. Wei come here to declare?"

Wei Yushan immediately said: "How can I cause trouble for the Royal Police, I have already hired your firm to help me calculate taxes, doesn't Saburo know?"

Your old man is really big-hearted. I let you lose so much money, it would be embarrassing, but he can still do business with me. He is a talent! Zhang Fei said: "Sorry, I seldom take care of things in the store recently."

"That's right, that's right, I almost forgot to congratulate Saburo on becoming the youngest doctor in Song Dynasty." Wei Yushan cupped his hands.

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

After Wei Yushan got close, he suddenly looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Sanlang, not everyone in Baima Township supports the Royal Police like me."

Zhang Fei asked: "Is someone hiding property?"

Wei Yushan nodded.

This old man is very shady, last time he suffered a big loss, he didn't say it, but he remembered it in his heart, but he didn't want to take revenge on Zhang Fei, he was really scared, his strategy wanted others to be like him , if you suffer a big loss in Zhang Fei's hands, then no one should laugh at anyone else.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "That's none of my business."

Wei Yushan was taken aback, "No... not doing your business?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "That's right! I'm just employed by the police station, and I'm only in charge of arranging statistics. As for whether they come or not, it's out of our control."

Wei Yushan asked: "Who cares about that?"

Suddenly heard a shout, "Li Feng, Luo Shou."

I saw Cao Dongdong strode in with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing two more royal police officers responding: "Deputy Superintendent."

"Come with me."

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly called Cao Dongdong who was aggressive, "What's the matter?"

Cao Dongdong snorted angrily: "I just received the news that someone from Qinjiazhuang over there threatened and urged the villagers not to report."

Wei Yushan's pupils shook a few times, and he whispered: "It must be that Qin Guang did it."

Cao Dongdong glanced at him immediately and asked, "How do you know?"

Wei Yushan said: "Qin Guang is the biggest landlord in Qinjiazhuang, no one dares to threaten the villagers except him."

"Really?"

Cao Dongdong sneered, "This yamen wants to see who Qin Guang is, who dares to oppose our royal police."

"Wait!"

Zhang Fei grabbed Cao Dongdong, "Yanei, do you understand what self-declaration is?"

"Of course I understand."

Cao Dongdong said: "They don't understand now, I have to teach them."

Zhang Fei said: "We are here only to be in charge of statistics, it is their own business whether to come or not, it is not in our control."

Cao Dongdong said: "If this is not in our control, then what are we in charge of? That guy is playing tricks under the nose of this yamen, and he obviously doesn't pay attention to us."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Ya Nei, if you go to him now, it's nothing more than asking them to report. What else can you do? You are helping him. If he doesn't come, he will face prosecution at that time." , fines, and even imprisonment, it will be in our hands in the end, that would be great!"

Cao Dongdong blinked, nodded and said: "It makes sense, I can't go to them in this office."

Wei Yushan on the side was breaking out in cold sweat when he heard that, Zhang Sanlang was still the same Zhang Sanlang, he was really a smiling tiger, and he was still so ruthless.

At this moment, Ma Xiaoyi came over with three or five auxiliary policemen, and saw that they were still escorting a drunk man.

Cao Dongdong hurriedly asked: "Little Ma, who is this person?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "The drunk just caused trouble at the reporting point below."

"It's just in time! My brother is worried that he has nowhere to vent his anger, so he dragged him to the house!"

Cao Dongdong began to roll up his sleeves.

Ma Xiaoyi winked at Cao Dongdong tacitly, as if to say, how about doubles?

"Wait!"

Zhang Fei patted his arm, "I just said it, why did you forget it."

Speaking, he asked Ma Xiaoyi again: "Did he conflict with you just now?"

Ma Xiaoyi whispered: "Just push Wu Er."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "That's enough! We will take him back to the police station and let the procuratorate sue him for treason."

When the drunken man heard that he was going to sue him for rebellion, his red face turned pale with fright, and he shouted very soberly: "You boy wronged me, why did I treason, you wronged me."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I, Zhang Daerbi, never wrong others. You attacked the Royal Police, which is called attacking the royal family for short. Isn't this treason? Is it a chivalrous act?"

Wei Yushan's mouth is long enough to stuff several eggs into it.

He is glad that he took the initiative to declare this time, this "abbreviation" is really terrible.

"Assault on... the royal family?"

The drunk man was also dumbfounded. He suddenly plopped, fell to his knees, and cried, "The royal police, spare your life, spare your life! The villain is just drunk and impulsive, the villain deserves to die, the villain really Damn."

As he spoke, he slapped himself across the face.

After he slapped more than a dozen, turning his white face into a red face, Zhang Fei walked over and said, "Stop."

The drunk man looked at Zhang Fei with teary eyes.

Zhang Fei said: "Tomorrow, go to the city to report, honestly dig up dung for three days, and also, go and tell the person who ordered you, if this kind of thing happens again in this area, I guarantee that he is not going to Qiongzhou to open up wasteland , is to go to the northwest to build the city wall."

"Yes...."

The drunk man just nodded, and then looked at Zhang Fei with a guilty conscience.

Zhang Fei just smiled slightly, "Get lost."

"Thank you Royal Police for your life, thank you Royal Police for your life."

The drunk man saluted several times, then staggered and ran out.

Zhang Fei said to Ma Xiaoyi again: "Xiao Ma, go and order. We only maintain the order of the declaration site. If anyone dares to report and cause trouble, they will all be taken down. But don't pay attention to the affairs of the village."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded in disappointment and said, "Hey! I'll go and give orders."

After Ma Xiaoyi left, Zhang Fei turned around again, seeing Cao Dongdong in a daze, he habitually reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Ya Nei!"

"Don't touch me!"

Cao Dongdong turned his head slowly, looked at Zhang Fei and said, "You are attacking the royal family."

"Fuck you."

"Yeah!"

Cao Dongdong immediately pointed to Zhang Fei and said, "Insult to the royal family. Zhang San, if you dare to disobey my order from now on, I will report you."

"Farewell! Royal Police!"

"Hey hey!"

Cao Dongdong hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei, hehe said: "I just found out today that attacking the Royal Police is rebellion."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, and said with a serious face: "Ya Nei, remember, don't be impulsive, we only maintain the order of the declaration point, and ignore the rest, otherwise, we will fall into the trap of the other party."

Cao Dongdong said unhappily: "Then I'd better go back to the city, this yamen can't stand this kind of uselessness."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's up to you."

Speaking, he called Xu Hao again and told him a few words.

Compared to the smooth sailing in the city, this village is full of accidents. Drunken hooligans and unreasonable villagers emerge in endlessly.

After all, there are no bosses above ordinary people in the market, only the law, but the villagers are different.

The strategy of the police station is that we don't care if you come or not, and we don't care if you scold in the village, but as long as you come to report some trouble, we will arrest you.

Although accidents continue, due to the particularity of self-declaration, the Royal Police will not launch an attack, and will not **** the people to declare, whether you like it or not.

Those who wanted to make trouble could only give up in resentment when they saw that the royal police were all as stable as old dogs.

So generally the overall situation is relatively stable.

But it is also conceivable what will happen if it is not self-declared.

This village is the most difficult to conquer. The imperial power does not come down to the county, and the police may not be able to do it. This is still in the capital. After all, it is the territory of the dragon.

Of course, those landlords who are clamoring not to come, in fact, have entrusted Li Guozhong and the others to make statistics in private, so they won't be so stupid as to be the first birds.

The general routine is that when something happens first, they start to speak out and speak out, and sideline the fight.

It's a pity that they failed to succeed!

Stayed in the countryside for a few days, seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Zhang Fei went back to the city.

New house.

But I saw several big men moving tables and chairs into the hall.

"Sanlang, are you satisfied?"

Li Bao asked Zhang Fei who was sitting on a big bench.

The furniture in this new house is all made by Li Bao. If he wants to develop his eyeliner, he must make friends. What better way to make friends than doing business.

"Good! Good! This is what I want."

Zhang Fei stood up and told Li Sidao: "Li Si, tell people to move to the backyard."

"Hey."

"Isn't this placed in the hall?" Li Bao asked curiously.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "My father-in-law is not used to this chair."

This bench is just a wooden sofa. Sitting on it, it must be impossible to sit on it. Xu Zun and Xu Lingxiao would definitely not sit on it.

After Li Si and the others went out, Zhang Fei asked Li Bao: "Is it so fast? I haven't finished counting here yet."

Li Bao said with a smile: "They just want to test our tax department on purpose."

Zhang Fei asked: "Who?"

Li Bao said: "There is a big fish among them."

"How big is it?"

"This man's name is Wang Hongjin, and his father is the old man of Governor Zhao's house in Zongzheng Temple. His family grew up from nothing, and through lending money, he became a wealthy landlord in Xiangfu County. We suspect that his family's land belongs to Governor Zhao. Yes. But he only declared 300 mu of land.”

"Governor Zhao?"

"This Governor Zhao is the cousin of Emperor Zhenzong."

"...?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a while, and then said in a bad mood: "Brother Leopard, are you floating?"

Li Bao hurriedly said: "I just told you about this."

Zhang Fei said: "Forget it!"

Li Bao nodded.

After Li Bao left, Zhang Fei suddenly frowned, thinking, it's strange, Li Bao is a member of the official family, how could he want to use the royal relatives to make an example of others.

After returning home, Zhang Fei asked Xu Zun: "Father-in-law, do you know about the clan affairs?"

Xu Zun was surprised, "Why do you ask this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Didn't I do the statistics recently, I found that many clans are very rich."

Xu Zun sighed, and said in a low voice: "Currently the clan is also a problem."

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

Xu Zundao: "Although in the "Da Xun" Taizu was worried that the clan's population would be too large, which would add a burden to the state's finances, so he inherited the Tang system, and the descendants of the five suits should be sent to places outside the capital. The reward was granted, and the land was divided into acres, so that it could stand on its own, and no longer appear in the royal genealogy.

However, this is the case, and now there are thousands of clans in Tokyo, and the monthly expenditure of supporting these clans has reached as much as 70,000 guan. Not to mention those rewards during the holidays. "

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Did a minister mention it?"

Xu Zun thought for a while, "The ministers have talked about it in private, but they didn't tell the officials."

......

The palace.

"A lowly position refers to an official."

A guard cupped his fists and saluted.

Zhao Xu asked: "How to say?"

The guard said: "According to Li Bao's report, Zhang San doesn't seem to want to implicate the emperor's relatives."

"Why is he so timid this time?"

Zhao Xu smiled, "Make arrangements, I want to see Zhang San."

"Humble position obeys."
