Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 424: Send Buddha to the West

In front of the South City Gate.

"Little Ma, don't lose face when you're away from home."

Cao Dongdong patted Ma Xiaoyi on the shoulder, exhorting him old-fashionedly.

Zhang Fei appointed Ma Xiaoyi to lead the Royal Police into the remaining counties.

This task is actually very firm. As far as what the Royal Police are doing at present, you don't need to think about it, which county magistrate will like it.

Ma Xiaoyi was full of confidence and said: "Don't worry, brother, why did I embarrass you."

"Don't listen to him."

Zhang Fei glared at Cao Dongdong, and then said to Ma Xiaoyi: "Little Ma, you only need to complete one task here, which is to go to each station to settle the Royal Police according to our plan. It's as simple as that. It doesn't matter whether you come to declare or not, just remember one thing, don't conflict with others."

Cao Dongdong said: "What if they bully you?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Then go to the government or the imperial court to appeal."

Ma Xiaoyi said depressedly: "Third brother, I don't want to go after hearing what you say."

Zhang Fei comforted: "Don't worry, I will let you go, I will definitely not let you suffer from this useless, you just endure it for a month, after a month, I will give you a chance to deal with them of."

Ma Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, "Is it okay for half a month?"

Zhang Fei said: "If you fail this time, I will never assign tasks to you again."

"OK OK!"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "I know, I just don't make trouble."

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Who told you not to cause trouble, I told you to bear it. Even if they do something, it must be handed over to the imperial court or the government. Don't conflict with them."

Ma Xiaoyi said depressedly: "I know."

Cao Dongdong couldn't help feeling worried and said: "Fortunately, I was not asked to go."

Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head and said, "Third brother, brother, then I... I will go first."

"Be careful on the road."

.......

After several days of hard work, the financial situation in Bianjing City has finally been counted.

At this point, the task of the tax department in the city is basically completed.

In any case, the right to set taxes will always belong to the administrative order and has nothing to do with the tax department.

The Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Two Governments does not have this power either, and the statistics are sent directly to Si Nong Temple.

Han Jiang and Wang Anshi looked at it, and their hearts were cold for a long time. There are so many poor people!

This is even more terrifying than they expected.

Comparing with the previous data, the number of low- and middle-class households is directly doubled.

Before, all the pots, pans and pans were counted, and then converted into money. During the conversion process, it is very normal to throw up 30 to 40%. few.

The upper-class households have not changed in any way, no matter how they are counted, they are all upper-class households, with houses, carriages, and fields all placed there.

Nowadays, the calculation is based on pure income, and only three major items of family wealth are recorded. Of course, there must be more middle and lower households!

This made Wang Anshi encounter a bottleneck.

His advanced financial ideas are somewhat overwhelming.

Actually, according to the labor recruitment law, there is a budget first, and then taxes are collected, so no matter how the statistics are calculated, they will be shared equally at that time anyway.

However, if we calculate according to this statistical table, the upper-class households will basically bear the burden, and the official households will become the main force.

Wang Anshi didn't dare to do that either.

It is already a big risk to collect taxes from government households, and to collect so much, how can I explain this!

There was no other way but to find Zhang Fei, but Wang Anshi and the others didn't dare to discuss this with Zhang Fei in the official office, fearing that the walls would have ears, so they called Zhang Fei to their home.

"You decide! You decide!"

Seeing Zhang Fei, Han Jiang was so angry that she almost threw the statistics table in Zhang Fei's face, "You recruited this person, and you planned the money, so why don't you let someone else do it?" In the end, send the Buddha to the west and calculate the tax for me."

Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "Han Temple matter, I am employed......!"

"Then I'll call Deputy Superintendent Cao here now?" Han Jiang said immediately.

"Don't don't!"

Zhang Fei looked aggrieved, "Call Deputy Superintendent Cao, and he will scold me for defrauding him of money."

Wang Anshi couldn't stand it anymore, what are you pretending, I don't understand you yet, said: "Okay! Tell me what you think."

"Let me take a look first."

Zhang Fei took a closer look. Counting female households, monks and priests, there are just over one hundred thousand households. Military households are not counted here, because military households have to bear a lot of corvee, and now most of the rivers are built by military households.

Do you think that the imperial court raises so many imperial guards because they are made to sit in the schoolyard every day, drinking and beating their farts.

It would definitely be inappropriate to count them in.

If you calculate the after-tax finances, the middle and lower households directly account for 70%, those with an annual income of less than 100 yuan, the third-class households account for 30%, and the annual income of 100 to 300 yuan. Take 10%.

After reading it, Zhang Fei glanced at Wang Anshi and Han Jiang, and said: "If I remember correctly, according to the recruitment law, the employment fee is calculated first, and then shared equally. Based on this law, it is actually very It’s easy to calculate, anyway, no matter how much it is, just spread it out.”

Wang Anshi and Han Jiang stared at him without saying a word.

Is it up to you to teach me this?

The results are all concentrated in the top account.

Go and collect it.

Zhang Fei could only smile smugly, and continued: "You two are sympathetic to the common people, so naturally they won't split it up so rudely, but it's not necessarily the case for local states and counties, because according to this algorithm, it means doubling the employment rate. Service fees can also be shared equally, so why not add a little more?"

Wang Anshi was slightly upset.

Of course he also knows this, but the object of his service is the emperor, and the target is the national finance. This algorithm can ensure that the transfer of errands to servitors will not increase the financial burden, and it is absolutely certain. have to earn.

Han Jiang also knows this, but he has some complaints about it. First, he secretly glanced at Wang Anshi, and then yelled at Zhang Fei: "You know you also suggested that the police station recruit 10,000 royal policemen .”

The reason why he objected to Zhang Fei's doing this was not because of this algorithm, how much your police station spends will be borne by the people, and the more you spend, the heavier the burden will be on the people.

But he can't explain it clearly.

Zhang Fei said: "I propose to collect the exemption tax according to the food and clothing line I mentioned before, that is, to deduct the tax, and then tax according to different incomes. This tax exemption leads to insufficient food and clothing, so that the people will not have any complaints.”

Wang Anshi immediately said: "Okay! You can do whatever you say, and you first make up for the 10,000 royal police finances."

Zhang Fei pretended to think for a while, and said: "I suggest that you pay the tax, and if it is less than 15 yuan, you will be exempted from paying the exemption tax."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly, but immediately frowned again.

If it is reduced to 15 guan, then the difference between this algorithm and the previous one is actually not very big. Although it was more calculated before, the collection point is relatively high, almost above 30 guan.

But after thinking about it, family wealth was also included in the calculation before, but here it is only net income, and the gap is still a bit big.

I heard Zhang Fei continue to say: "Annual income of 15 guan to 30 guan is calculated as one percent."

Wang Anshi immediately picked up the statistics sheet on the table and looked at it, frowning slightly.

Zhang Fei continued: "As for the thirty to fifty strokes, the calculation is based on two percent."

Wang Anshi's eyebrows almost became a Sichuan character.

Zhang Fei said: "From 50 to 100 points, it is calculated as 4%, from 100 to 300 points, it is calculated as 6%, and above 300 points, it is 100%. Ten to count.

Female households, monks, and Taoist priests are all calculated at 3%. As for official households, my suggestion is that the income within the salary is calculated at 3%, and only the salary is counted here, but the income outside the salary is calculated according to the calculation I just mentioned, and the extra From 15 to 30 guan, it is calculated on the basis of 1%, and from 30 to 50 guan, it is calculated on the basis of 2%, and so on. But here count all the subsidies for officials. "

Han Jiang nodded thoughtfully, good boy, he really knows how to count!

The wealth other than the official salary is very considerable.

Wang Anshi, who had been staring at the statistical table, suddenly raised his head and asked, "With your tax calculation method, do you know how much tax Bianjing can collect in total?"

Zhang Fei asked: "How much?"

Wang Anshi said: "Even if it is full of money, it is only 50,000 guan. If Bianjing City only accepts such a small amount, the entire Kaifeng mansion may not even be able to meet the financial needs of the police station, let alone you have to use money to hire The merchant transports and keeps the goods.”

When he heard the tax rate, he felt that something was wrong, it was so low that he seemed to be begging for food.

But he didn't think about it, this is an extra tax, not the main tax.

Besides, Zhang Fei's total household income is actually not low.

When Han Jiang heard this number, it was one head and two big, which was not enough at all!

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If it is this algorithm, it must be enough."

Wang Anshi excitedly said: "This is impossible."

Zhang Fei said: "It's not enough for me."

"...?"

"You... you come to pad?"

Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Since the police station hired me to help, I will take responsibility for the algorithm I gave. The two of you just need to see if the algorithm is feasible?"

Wang Anshi glanced at the statistical report again, and said, "Unless there is something wrong with this report."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I don't dare to talk nonsense without evidence."

Wang Anshi and Han Jiang glanced at each other.

Wang Anshi said: "You go back first, we need to discuss it again."

"Yes."

Zhang Fei got up and bowed his hands: "I will take my leave."

After Zhang Fei left, Wang Anshi first asked Han Jiang, "What do you think?"

Han Jiang nodded and said: "If this kind of tax law can support the finances of the police station, and at the same time hire merchants to deliver and store the goods, I think it is possible. This is much better than I imagined."

This service collection method is to ask those exempted households to collect taxes. Among them, the most sensitive ones are government households, which charge 3% of their income, which Han Jiang thinks is not much.

As for the amount of tax other than salaries, Han Jiang thinks this is also very good. Many officials have extra income, but many officials are not very rich, and the extra income is not much, which is barely enough. It is obviously unreasonable to say that 10% of income other than salary is uniformly levied.

Offending people is definitely more offensive, but this scope is still reasonable.

Wang Anshi seemed a little hesitant.

Han Jiang said again: "Since the kid promised him to come, what else can we say."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly.
