Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 635: Don’t even try to escape

There is a saying that people die for money, and birds die for food.

Although the forces behind Wei Yingfang and others have asked those defendants to plead guilty and accept punishment, that is only their expedient measure. It may be impossible to let them go.

But they still want to use this half a day to operate again to see if they can pay less fines. After all, this huge sum of money was really cut on their flesh, but Er Bi is already They cannot be given any support, because if they continue to appeal, the procuratorate will inevitably intervene, which is what they are most worried about.

So they can only find a way to find a relationship.

Of course.

The tax secretary is not familiar with anyone. The tax envoy Chen Ming is a petty official who came from the inner treasury. The attitude of the tax department is very firm, it is absolutely impossible, and in the end they can only give up.

They don't have the courage to violently resist the tax. After all, they have a very clear understanding of what the tax department is doing in the capital.

If you dare to resist violently, the tax department really dares to violently collect taxes. Whether you are a civil servant, a general, or even a clan, no one wants to use their small farmyard to try the taste of a siege engine.

Although some generals of the Yongxing Army were also involved, the soldiers in the barracks are currently very supportive of the Public Prosecution Law, because the Public Prosecution Law is the guarantee of military pay. Lay off, this time they don't even dare to show their heads.

If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.

And having said that, it's not about copying their homes, it's just about their income last year.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is still the emperor behind the tax department. If you want to fight against the tax department, you must take the moral high ground, or take the reason, but if you make mistakes first, you have to fight against the tax , that must be a dead end.

They never thought of doing this. At first, they bet that the tax department would not be able to find out their accounts, because this is a very personal matter. How could they have imagined that the tax department would send someone to steal their accounts. And instigated their accountant.

Of course, the more than 130 tax evaders are definitely not the only ones.

So on the second day, it was still dark, and these people went to the tax department to squat.

But the result made them very desperate.

The scene that happened a few days ago was repeated again, and the heavily armed tax police escorted the three big boxes towards the direction of the imperial court.

My God! Really endless! These squatting big landlords could no longer calm down, so they rushed forward. Although they were blocked by the tax police, they still begged Chen Ming for mercy: "Chen tax envoy, I know I was wrong, I am already looking for I am willing to surrender myself. Please let us go.

" "Chen tax envoy, I don't dare to evade taxes anymore, we pay taxes, we pay taxes right away, we don't dare anymore.

" All dignity and face were forgotten, and many people really cried out. This five times punishment is already unacceptable to them, and they may also face investigation by the tax department.

You must know that yesterday's wave of people had a very strong relationship. Those people were able to escape and only paid a fine, but it doesn't mean that they also escaped! Chen Ming didn't want to talk to them at first, but there were too many crying people. If things go on like this, it may take until evening to reach the tax department. Chen Ming can only say to them: "It will take some time for the imperial court to examine the evidence. During this period, if you pay taxes and pay fines, we can withdraw the lawsuit.

" "All right, all right, after the tax is calculated, we will immediately go to pay the tax and pay the fine.

However, can the penalty be reduced a little.

""If you surrender yourself, we can deal with it lightly.

" "Thank you! Thanks! "Thanks to the tax envoy for extrajudicial grace."

" These old foxes were so grateful for this "light treatment" that they almost knelt down to Chen Ming.

It's cheap! In this world of martial arts, the only thing that can't be broken is speed! The tax department didn't give them time to think about the countermeasures at all, and it was non-stop, which directly caused the complete collapse of these big landlords. They dared not bet that their names were not in the box.

The key point is that Chen Ming has been very calm so far. You can turn yourself in, but I still have to sue. This only shows one problem, that is, they really have enough evidence in their hands.

If you don't surrender, you won't be able to escape.

As a result, all the major bookstores in front of the gate of the imperial court are full today.

Although there is no shortage of accountants around them, there are still legal issues involved, so they can only go to Er Bi.

Li Family Bookshop! "No, no, last May, I secretly sold it in May, don't worry about it, the total income is 500 guan.

There is more! "A staff member stood outside patting his head, muttering in his mouth, and an accountant next to him hurriedly recorded.

"Wait a minute!" Li Min said awkwardly: "Mr. Liu, why don't you just take out the account, no matter what is on it, we will keep it secret for you, otherwise, I won't be able to get along in this business. , it’s hard to memorize and easy to make mistakes when you write one stroke and one stroke like this.

" Liu Yuanwai was about to cry but said without tears: "I didn't keep the accounts to avoid taxes. This time it's all right, the tax department will record them for me, ouch! " Li Min almost laughed, "Then don't worry about Liu Yuanwai, let someone around you think about it for you, so you can be sure.

" Liu Yuanwai immediately tensed his face and said, "Can those people still be trusted? You were there during the trial yesterday, all of you were wolf-hearted and ungrateful.

"After what happened yesterday, they no longer trust the servants, and they sleep with their eyes open.

It's been a hard day.

Li Min said: "But you are surrendering yourself now, and this is what the tax department wants to see. Even if there are those treacherous villains around you, don't worry too much.

" "That's true.

"Lu Family Bookstore.

"Member Qin, if you calculate it, it's only about 1,000 guan, and the tax payment is only 150 guan, so why bother to take such a risk.

" Lu Bangxing said to the Qin official with a puzzled face.

Qin Yuanwai hesitated.

Lu Bangxing asked again: "Does Qin Yuanwai still want to gamble again?" There was really only one box, which was "other income", and he looked at Qin Yuanwai again.

Qin Yuanwai said: "There is no need to write where it comes from?" Lu Bangxing nodded and said: "Yes.

" Qin Yuanwai asked again: "Then will they ask? Lu Bangxing shook his head and said: "Probably not, because many people have filled in this column, but the tax department never asked."

" Qin Yuanwai said: "Here you just fill in 8300 guan.

" Lu Bangxing immediately gasped.

Qin Yuanwai said: "You are filling it!" "Ah? Oh, yes.

" Lu Bangxing wiped his sweat and thought to himself, it is rare that illegal income is higher than legal income! What kind of shady business does he have.

Of course, he also thought about it in his heart, but he wouldn't ask too much, after all, the tax department deliberately made this column to cover it up.

At this time, Chen Ming had already thrown several boxes of evidence to the imperial court, a total of one hundred and four.

"I guess these boxes of evidence don't need to be interrogated.

" Cai Jing asked suddenly.

Shangguan Jun asked curiously: "Why?" Cai Jing said: "Go to the door and have a look. Those big landlords are queuing up to find those Erbi tax calculations. The purpose is to surrender to the tax department before the court session. Maybe We have just finished reviewing the evidence, and these one hundred and forty people have surrendered themselves.

" Several people looked at Zhang Fei at the same time.

Zhang Fei said: "Look at me, what if these people don't turn themselves in, what should we do? We'll all take the blame and resign?" "!" Cai Bian hurriedly explained: "That's not what the students mean, but it's just a pity that if there is no trial trial, then we can learn nothing from the teacher.

" Zhang Fei sighed: "That's true, who would have thought that they would be so ruthless that they would have no resistance! Shangguan Jun said: "How can you resist?" The tax department has solid evidence.

" Zhang Fei said: "Actually, they can still resist, but they didn't expect Er Bi to plead not guilty in advance, which caused them to be caught off guard. If this continues, Ye Zuqia probably won't have to come back.

" At this time, Li Si came to the door and whispered something in Zhang Fei's ear.

"I got it!" Zhang Fei said to Cai Bian and the others again: "You check first, I have to deal with something.

""Yes.

" Wait until Zhang Fei leaves.

Cai Bian said: "Are we serious about checking?" Cai Jing said: "Of course, the teacher has already ordered it.

" Cai Bian looked at Cai Jing suspiciously, "Brother, when did you become so diligent.

" Before Cai Jing could speak, Shangguan suddenly laughed and said, "Your brother wants to see who else is evading taxes.

" A look of embarrassment flashed in Cai Jing's eyes, but he said: "So what, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never end in a hundred battles. Understanding these people will be of great benefit to the imperial court! Cai Bian nodded and said, "My brother makes sense, so let's investigate."

" Shangguan Jun suddenly said: "Do you want to call some students.

" Cai Jing was stunned, and hurriedly said: "This, let's wait for the teacher to make a decision.

" in a wing in the backyard.

"Bachelor Yuan came earlier than I thought!" Zhang Fei laughed.

Yuan Jiang glared at him and said, "You're still embarrassed to laugh, you didn't mention this to me about the reform of the wine system.

" Zhang Fei laughed and said: "We have cooperated so many times, this time it is just repeating the old tricks, so there is no need to inform in advance.

Facts have also proved that we cooperated very well." "Stop! "Yuan Jiang raised her hand and said quite seriously: "You don't tell me in advance, and I know what to do, these are two different things, you have to explain clearly.

" Zhang Fei said helplessly: "If this was planned by me in advance, I would of course notify Bachelor Yuan first, but this is really just an accident.

" Yuan Jiang frowned and said, "Really? "Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Although I know the situation of the Taxation Department, I don't know how they will deal with it. Moreover, there is another link that is very critical, and that is the procuratorate. Not this result.

And I didn't discuss it with the procuratorate before. It was Fang Erbi who came to the door first. During the discussion, they raised these questions, and Prosecutor Su and I thought of this.

" "Let's just trust you once.

" Yuan Jiang looked at Zhang Fei, saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and he also knew Su Zhe's character, and asked: "Then do you have a solution? Zhang Fei asked back: "What does Bachelor Yuan think about this?" "Yuan Jiang stroked his beard, "To tell you the truth, I discussed this matter with the prefect Cai last night. Since we want to cooperate with the tax department to collect taxes, we can only open it further so that more people can own it." Brewing rights, otherwise, are very difficult to solve this problem.

"Now the government mainly controls the brewing of most of the koji. Brewers have to buy koji from the government to make wine. If they brew koji privately, it is a private wine.

However, how can rural households afford the government's liquor.

In order to deal with this, the government gave some big restaurants the right to brew koji by buying them, and used the means of businessmen to make up for this. However, only five restaurants in Hezhong Mansion have the right to brew koji. It is a monopoly, because if you want to buy the right to brew distiller's yeast, you have to spend a lot of money. Usually, several companies pool their money to buy it. The surrounding villages can afford it, but if it is a little farther away, you have to count the transportation The cost is too high, and they can't afford it either.

After all, this is not an era of urbanization, and the people are very scattered.

The government usually turns a blind eye and closes one eye. They are really short of money, and then they go to arrest these people and blackmail them.

But it's different now, the Public Security Bureau has set up the banner of the rule of law, and you can't turn a blind eye to this kind of illegal behavior.

The only way is to improve the system in this area, or let the big wine households go to the village to sell wine koji, but if it is too far away, the big wine households will also suffer, and they are unwilling to do so. Then collect taxes from here, because the existence of the tax department can do this.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Actually, I think so too.

" Yuan Jiang said anxiously again: "But the wine tax is an important source of revenue for the government, so it cannot be acted rashly. If it is released, will the tax department be sure to collect the money? "Good wine was popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there is also credit for the government. The more people drink, the higher the financial revenue. This wine tax is the key revenue of the financial system. It can even be said that it is no less than the agricultural tax. Although there are many agricultural taxes, but The cost is also high.

Actually, it is not impossible to let go, but are you sure you will collect all the money? No matter how you change it, at least ensure that the income in this area cannot be reduced.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I think it is possible, the reason is just like what Bachelor Yuan said, this wine tax is very important, there are still huge profits below, the tax department will definitely keep an eye on it all the time.

" Yuan Jiang nodded, and asked again: "Then what do you think about this, and how should you change it? " Zhang Fei said: "I think it is still necessary to reform according to Wang Xueshi's new policy.

" "How do you say this? " Yuan Jiang asked hurriedly.

He hadn't thought of this, because Wang Anshi's reform has not involved this aspect for the time being.

Zhang Fei said: "Using the promotion of Changping Division, I will go directly to the wine business.

" Yuan Jiang said: "Now the imperial court is also doing wine business.

" "No! "Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I mean, based on the situation of complete liberalization, the imperial court will end up doing this wine business.

" Yuan Jiang frowned and said, "I don't quite understand this.

" Zhang Fei said: "The imperial court can choose to cooperate with the best distillers in the market, and buy shares in their distilleries through Jiekupu in Hezhong Prefecture.

Then, completely liberalize the brewing of koji and wine, and the sale of wine in the area, so that merchants can rely on their strength to make money.

However, in order to ensure the control of the government, the government can set up a wine making and sales qualification certificate. If you want to sell wine outside, you must have this certificate.

If there is this certificate, the government will guarantee it, so the evaluation conditions are very simple. First, determine how many stoves, if there is only one stove, it belongs to personal wine making, not commercial behavior, and then Determine the number of stoves above that belongs to commercial winemaking, as well as the quality of the wine and the stability of the taste, so as to control the wine market.

This also provides a legal basis for rural households to make wine. Whether it is selling bootleg wine can be evaluated by the stove. If he only has one stove, even if he sells wine, it is not considered bootleg wine. It will not be affected.

" Yuan Jiang said: "In this way, are you sure the court will earn more? ""Sure.

" Zhang Fei nodded and said: "First of all, if you do this, everyone will use their strength to compete for the market. Then the few wineries that cooperate with the court will definitely be able to eat most of the wine market. One stroke.

At the same time, they have to pay taxes. Of course, the government also has to pay taxes, and here is another profit. Now, due to the division of regions by the court to avoid competition, the wine market is relatively sluggish. Instead, bootleg wine is more active. Once it is released, It is bound to stimulate the wine market. According to the new tax law, the tax revenue generated will only be more.

" Yuan Jiang nodded slightly, "But can the tax department check it out? "Zhang Fei laughed and said: "As long as there is a reward incentive, the evidence will definitely be found, and it will be easier to find evidence."

" Yuan Jiang said, "How do you say that? Zhang Fei said: "The most powerful wineries cooperate with the government, so every account has to be recorded, and the tax department naturally has a way to get the accounts."

At the same time, if other wineries want to compete with these companies, they must also cooperate with others. Currently, there are contract laws, which makes them have to standardize their accounts. Otherwise, if there is a dispute, the affected The one who loses may be himself.

This also provides sufficient evidence for the tax department.

As for those small drinkers, the tax department will also conduct spot checks on them. As long as a few are caught, they will not dare to evade taxes easily.

" Yuan Jiang nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei said again: "However, I suggest that the government only buy shares and supervise the accounts without interfering with operations.

" Yuan Jiang asked: "Why is this? "Zhang Fei said: "Because according to the new policy, it is to do business to make money, but if it is controlled by the government, interests may conflict, because there are national interests and officials' personal interests, and corruption often arises from this. .

Businessmen are different. They just want to make money. If the merchants earn more, the government will naturally earn more. However, the government only needs to monitor the accounts, which can also prevent corruption.

So I suggest that the government only needs to control 30% or 40% of the members, and the government should not obtain the right to operate anyway.

" Yuan Jiang said: "What about the coal mine? " Zhang Fei said: "It's the same, it's also cooperating with businessmen. The imperial court can take out 60% of the share to buy, which can not only guarantee the government's direct income, but also guarantee tax revenue, and those big businessmen can also get a share. For their own sake, they will definitely not be reconciled, and if they destroy it, they will return to the original state over time.

In fact, whether it is wine or coal, if the government does it by itself, corruption will definitely breed in it. At the same time, it will be difficult for the tax department to do anything, because the government does not need to pay taxes if it does business by itself. When businessmen cooperate, they must pay taxes.

""The old man knows what to do.

" Yuan Jiang nodded thoughtfully, but said in her heart, it's so simple, why didn't the old man think of it, could it be right, everything he said was based on the public prosecutor's law.

If there is no public security law and no contract principle, even if the government accounts for 10%, it can still dominate. Maybe businessmen are not willing to cooperate with the government. If there is a problem with the business, the government will be directly sued to the imperial court. Has it been less in the past two years?

Yuan Jiang suddenly thought of something, "That's right! I heard that the tax department will take 70% of the fine from the tax department?" Only brave men, the Taxation Department was able to find so much evidence, and it was done with money, without much tricks.

" Old Yuan Jiang blushed, "I know this too, but from the current point of view, it seems that there are quite a few of them! After thinking about it yesterday, the tax department may have received more fines than taxes. Why is this a bit exaggerated! Zhang Fei laughed and said, "But they deserve it."

" Yuan Jiang nodded.

He is just asking, he has no right to move the money, because the tax department is the emperor.

It's not that Yuan Jiang is jealous, almost everyone is jealous.

Nowadays, the Taxation Department can be said to be making money every day, or even more than that. In the past few days, I have seen groups of bodyguards with knives rushing to the Taxation Department with boxes of copper coins.

Because their masters were all detained in the tax department, it is impossible for people to release the money if it is not in place.

This is really a day and night.

With the paid help of the imperial court, the procuratorate, the police station, and various major bookstores, the Taxation Department has arranged 15 collection points in the city, and each point has three batches of accounting rooms, which are checked in shifts. In the middle of the night, these fifteen tax collection points are still brightly lit.

It's the second watch.

But I saw a group of housewives standing in front of the imperial court, looking forward to it.

After a while, there was a creaking sound, and the door slowly opened.

I saw those big rich men who were arrogant and domineering on weekdays, at this moment, with their heads bowed and their backs hunched, supporting each other, they walked out from the inside with staggering steps.

Those waiting outside stepped forward immediately.

"Master!" "Daddy!" "Grandpa!" "Grandson, I am still alive?" "Grandpa, are you okay?" "Grandpa is scared to death, grandpa is scared to death.

Whoa! "Seeing their loved ones, these people couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

As far as their strength and background are concerned, it is true that nothing will happen, or the whole family will die if something happens, so they are really scared inside all day long! After all the one hundred and thirty-two rich men were released, the next wave of surrenders came again.

For this wave, the tax department is looking at the amount of tax evasion, and the fine is usually one to three times, because the really super rich are placed in the first batch, and these big fish can't Missed.

This phenomenon lasted for a month and a half before it finally ended.

The main thing is to count the money. They have to pay too much tax and it is too difficult to count.

The hand that counts the money is really trembling.

Imperial Court.

I saw all the officials of Hezhong Mansion gathered together, they looked at Chen Ming with envy and resentment at the same time! Chen Ming said bluntly: "As of now, our tax department has found out about 530,000 guan of tax evasion, and received a total fine of 1.2 million guan.

" Everyone present gasped.

Penalties are more than taxes.

Nima! This is really more ruthless than their extortionate miscellaneous taxes! The essential! This is all our money! Wei Yingfang suppressed his anger: "I don't know how the tax department plans to deal with these fines?" Chen Ming said: "We will follow the rules and hand over 30% of it together with the tax, and the rest will go to our tax department's finances.

" "It means that your tax department wants to take away 800,000 coins? ""Yes.

" Chen Ming said.

"How can this work.

" Wei Yingfang refused to accept it.

Chen Ming looked at him, "Whether it's okay or not, can Wei Tong judge it?" "You?" Wei Yingfang glared at him, then looked at Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang.

Cai Yanqing also felt a little too much, coughed lightly: "Is this a little too much?" Su Zhe also nodded slightly.

A government office took 800,000 pennies away, that's nothing! It's outrageous! At least this has never happened in Song Dynasty.

Chen Ming took it for granted: "Not much at all, because if the tax department's finances are reduced, the tax revenue may also be reduced accordingly.

" Cai Yanqing smiled mischievously.

Wei Yingfang refused to accept it: "Don't think that you are the only ones who collect taxes.

" Chen Ming said: "I also want to know why Hezhong Mansion only collected so little tax before.

""! "A direct crit attack! This time, none of the rich and powerful people in Hezhong Mansion ran away. They control nearly two-thirds of the wealth in Hezhong Mansion. Of course, this tax will be terrible.

The officials of the Hezhong Mansion stopped talking, and they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, what will the officials think when the tax returns are filed, will they think we are too incompetent? When Zhang Fei saw it, he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, since they have surrendered themselves and paid back the tax money, the imperial court will also withdraw their lawsuits.

" Su Zhe said: "Our procuratorate will still reserve the prosecution against them until the government improves the relevant system.

" Yuan Jiang nodded and said: "We will get out of the adjustment as soon as possible.

" After that, he glared at Wei Yingfang and the others again. It was all for you! They are also cool, and they can get an extra million in tax revenue while lying down. With this political achievement, who else is there.

Chen Ming was not in a hurry to leave, he still had to stay and talk to the imperial court about withdrawing the lawsuit. In fact, Qiu Zhengwen and Cai Jing were doing these things, while he was talking to Zhang Fei about how to divide the spoils.

As for this matter, Zhang Fei has already made arrangements.

"At that time, you can deposit all the finances of the tax department in the Majia Jieku shop. I have already helped you set up a group of secret depositors there. At that time, you can just give them the savings book directly, and they can save money by themselves. Go to the Majia Jieku shop to pick it up, including those tax police.

""Will this expose our people.

""No.

" Zhang Fei said: "Those depositors are specially arranged by me, and they are all counted as flying money accounts from Bianzhou.

" "I see.
