Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 636: Participating spoils and fighting for merit
This tax storm can be said to be both reasonable and unexpected.
Although those officials and wealthy people have already thought that in this storm, compared with previous years, they will definitely suffer some losses. After all, they are well aware of the evil deeds of the Tax Department in Bianliang, Tokyo.
It's just that they never imagined that they would suffer such a heavy loss and be defeated so quickly.
During the whole process, they were almost powerless to fight back. From the initial prevention of losses, but later on to save their lives by dissipating money, they were just blindly defending.
It was not like before, they used their powers to fight back against the public security law, to create chaos for the public security law, and they didn't even send a memorial to impeach the tax department to the capital.
Because they didn't expect that the tax department could get so much evidence, so of course they didn't dare to file a complaint with great fanfare. If this matter went to the court, they would die even worse. It doesn't involve the New Deal, but the court wants to talk about administrative law. At that time, they will either be sent home or sent to Qiongzhou to log.
To put it simply, this is a competition of means and strength, and in the end it is their skills that are inferior to others.
This is very different from Wang Anshi's reform.
Wang Anshi's new policy is to seek change, and to seek money while making changes. In short, it is to seek money by changing the law.
However, the public security law does not seek change, but only seeks to crack down on illegal activities and maintain law and order. To a certain extent, they are still defending these privileges, they are only fighting illegal activities outside the privileges.
This makes those privileged people can only hide in the dark, but unfortunately, they were all found out one by one by the tax department.
As long as they are found out, they can only accept the punishment.
However, weeping was unavoidable. After these rich men came out, they knew that their little lives had been saved, and they immediately felt pity for their little money. Crying in bed, because they can't believe anyone now, they are all bad people, all are bad people.
In fact, the tax collection period is like this every year, but this year is special, tears are transferred from the face of the ordinary farmer to the face of the rich man.
Of course, for them, they only lost one round, not the whole game. They did not forget that the main theme of the moment was the dispute between judicial reform and public security.
So they urged the tax department to hand over the accounts of last year's total tax revenue to the government. It just happened that the tax department over there was also eager to share the spoils and enlarge the holidays. On this point, the two sides hit it off.
In the evening.
A tall man with a burden on his back came to a farmhouse at the foot of a mountain. They stood in front of the door, glanced left and right, and then knocked lightly on the door a few times.
Boom boom boom! "Who?" came a cautious voice from inside.
"Old Gao!" said the man.
After a while, the door opened with a creak.
The man came into the house, only to see two similar looking men standing inside.
The two are professionals rescued from the Luoyang prison by the tax department, two brothers, Fuqian and Fulin.
The two brothers looked at the burden on Lao Gao's shoulders at the same time, looking very disturbed.
Just this little bag, what can it hold? gold? It doesn't look like it! deflated.
The man called Lao Gao took a look at the two of them, put down the burden on his shoulders, opened it, and put two small books on the table.
"What is this?" Fu Qian looked at the book with a worried expression.
The old man said: "This is the flying money account of Majiajiekupu. The tax department has already deposited all your bonuses into it. Your brothers have performed very well in this tax inspection. I am very grateful to the tax department. Obtain key evidence, according to regulations, one person will get 5,000 guan.
"Although the accounts stolen by their brothers are worth more than 100,000 yuan in fines, it is impossible for the two brothers alone to settle everything. There are still many professionals who are providing them with clues, such as Surveillance personnel, such as experienced tax collectors, and some accountants who are good at calculations, etc.
All in all, the ghost team of the tax department is actually composed of small professional teams. Maybe these team members don't know each other, but they only need to do what they are good at. There are special analysts in the middle. Arrange tasks and assist them in exchanging messages.
"So many?" The two brothers exclaimed at the same time.
Although there is a big difference from more than a hundred thousand yuan, to them, this is simply a huge sum of money! The annual salary is only 5,000 guan, which is comparable to those middle- and upper-level officials, no, even more comfortable than those middle- and upper-level officials, because they only work for a few hours.
I really don't want to be too comfortable these days! The young Fulin couldn't help but rubbed his hands together, "Hey, actually, we didn't do much, just picked up a few accounts.
”They do think they are somewhat undeserving of this huge sum of money.
After all, it is not for them to steal gold, silver and jewelry, just a few accounts, the difficulty is a bit low! Fuqian took the little book and said, "Brother Gao, how do you get money from this thing?" Lao Gao said, "It's very simple. You take your household registration and this little book to the Majia Jieku shop and tell the store Dude, just withdraw as much money as you want.
""That's it.
" "Well.
" Lao Gao nodded and said: "I suggest that you withdraw as much as you need, after all, it is not very safe to carry too much money with you.
Also, save a little money, those people are already on guard, and this kind of thing will become more and more difficult in the future.
" "Hey! We know.
""There are more.
You have two months of vacation, you can go and have fun, but you must remember to be cautious in everything, and don't talk nonsense. Nowadays, many people outside are investigating the tax department. Once you are discovered by them, Although this will not affect the tax department, it is difficult for the tax department to protect you all the time.
""Yes yes yes.
" In Pinglu County, a large cargo ship is docked at the pier, but there are more than ten people sitting in the cabin.
That is to say, the legendary Erwuzi.
They all seemed to be anxiously waiting for something, fidgeting in the cabin.
After a while, I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe bowing into the cabin.
"Mr. Wen.
" "The villain has seen Mr. Wen.
" Mr. Wen sized them up, "Why? Are you worried that I won't come? ""No! ""hey-hey! "Don't worry, our tax department will never break your promise to you easily.
Sit down! ""Why! "Everyone sat down one after another.
After Mr. Wen took his seat, he shouted to the outside: "Bring it all in.
"But I saw a few guards with a few bags into the warehouse, and then distributed the bags to these people.
Mr. Wen said: "You have some money and a land deed, all of which are in the place you designated at the beginning. This cargo ship will **** you to the designated place, and the boatmen on this ship are also our taxpayers. They will also **** you to your destination, and you will live a good life in the future.
" "Thank you, Mr. Wen, thank you, Mr. Wen.
" These people couldn't help crying with joy.
Originally, they were all tenant farmers at the bottom of Hezhong Mansion, but after this incident, they couldn't help repaying their debts, and they were promoted to third-class households, or even second-class households.
After they confirmed that there was no problem with the remuneration, Mr. Wen got up and left.
Mr. Wen said again: "From now on, you can live a good life.
" Just got out of the cabin, when I was about to disembark, I saw a young man chasing him out, "Mr. Wen.
" Mr. Wen looked back, "It's Xiao Yu! how? Isn't the reward right? "Chen Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "No, no.
" Mr. Wen asked again: "Then what's the matter with you? "Chen Xiaoyu scratched his head and said: "That's right, I want to continue doing this job."
" Mr. Wen looked at him in confusion.
Chen Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "I want to continue to help the tax department to check taxes.
" Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Xiao Yu, checking taxes is not as simple as you imagined, you.
" Chen Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I have no other skills, but I can continue to be a tenant with those big landlords, and then secretly help the tax department to collect evidence.
" Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, and said: "But this is very dangerous and very painful, you! "Chen Xiaoyu said excitedly: "I have already made up my mind, as long as the tax department is willing to have me, no matter how hard or tiring I am, I am willing.
""Why? "Mr. Wen asked.
"Because I hate those rich people to death, and seeing them pleading in front of the judge makes me very happy, so I want to continue to help the tax department to check taxes.
" Mr. Wen thought for a while, "Well, I will arrange for you to go to Luoyang first, and you can think about it again during this period. If you go back on your word when you arrive in Luoyang, then don't disembark in Luoyang.
" "I won't regret it.
" "Let's talk about it later.
"For the tax department, this moment is their New Year's Eve and their annual leave.
At this moment, all the big and small officials of the taxation department are sitting in the lobby. , with anticipation in his eyes.
Chen Mingdao: "Last year's taxation has been fully completed. Fortunately, there are many tax evaders. According to regulations, 10% of the fine will be used to give you bonuses.
At the same time, you will have a half-month vacation.
"About the tax department's fine, first of all, the tax department and the imperial court will share 30-70%, of which 30% will be handed over to the state treasury, and the remaining 70% will go to the tax department.
Of the 70%, the tax department will keep 20% as funds for the coming year, of which 40% will be distributed to the ghost tax police, and the remaining 10% will be distributed to the tax police and knife and pen officials who have the establishment of the tax department. Those who are responsible for daily official duties and get paid every month naturally cannot get thousands of rewards.
This is ten percent.
That's a lot! There are also 120,000 guan! The people sitting there rubbed their hands, very excited.
Similarly, there is still a savings book for each Majiajiekupu.
I have to say that the existence of Majiajiekupu really helped the tax department a lot. The tax department only needs to deposit all the money in Majiajiekupu and open hundreds of accounts.
For the rest, the Majia Jieku Shop will help the tax department to handle it, so there is no need for the tax department to worry about it.
Of course, the accounts given to the ghost tax police were all secretly opened, and Zhang Fei personally arranged them. After all, he is the real boss of the tax department and controls this ghost army.
Because the end of the tax department is the imperial court, but the imperial court cannot clearly support the tax department, and must pay attention to the evidence. If Zhang Fei does not control the tax department, there may be conflicts between the two.
Zhang Fei knows better than anyone what kind of evidence the tax department needs to provide in order to win the lawsuits.
Because of this, it seemed that the imperial court was very relaxed in this case. Zhang Fei basically sat on it and watched the performances of these ghosts and monsters.
However, there is another person who is more relaxed than Zhang Fei.
This person is Han Jiang.
At the time of the incident, this guy was patrolling the Yongxing Army in various places, asking about the local disarmament situation, and he just returned to Hezhong Mansion recently, so he perfectly avoided the whole process.
Back to Hezhong Mansion, he first found Yuan Jiang, "Brother Yuan, is the final account of last year's taxation available?" Yuan Jiang said: "The tax department has submitted the account. It's almost there.
" Han Jiang asked a little nervously: "How much? Yuan Jiang said: "Compared with the previous year, it has increased by at least two million guan."
" Han Jiang couldn't help gasping, "How much more? "Yuan Jiang said: "Two million guan.
" "Is it counted as salt money and salt debt? "Han Jiang asked hastily again.
Yuan Jiang said: "The salt debt is not counted. After all, the salt debt is repaid, but the salt money is counted, but the salt money we collected is also deducted from it.
" "How is this possible? "Han Jiang just felt incredible.
Yuan Jiang said: "Actually, the calculation is about the same. Although we have collected some salt money, there are still a lot of salt money circulating in the market. These are counted as fiscal revenue, and the tax department has paid more for us. A tax of one million guan was collected, coupled with the increase of its own tax revenue, it reached 2 million guan.
" Just at this time, a civil official came to the door, "Report to the Transit Department, Judge Wei and Judge Cao are here.
" "Invite them in.
""Yes.
" After the official went down, Han Jiang said: "I just came back, and they came to me to complain. It seems that they have been greatly wronged.
" Yuan Jiang laughed and said, "I don't think they are here to complain.
" Han Jiang looked at him suspiciously.
Yuan Jiang said: "How dare they complain about illegal things, I think they must be here to sow discord.
" Han Jiang nodded suspiciously.
Sure enough, when Wei Yingfang and the others arrived, they didn't say a word about tax evasion, and they just focused on attacking the tax department, thinking that the tax department shouldn't take so many fines, more than 800,000 yuan, this is simply a kind of embezzlement financial behavior.
"I am also aware of the fine system of the tax department, and it is the same in the capital.
" Han Jiang nodded, and said helplessly, "I can't do anything about it, because the tax department can increase a lot of revenue for the imperial court.
" They can earn money for the court, can the officials blame them? It's too late for love! Cao Yi suddenly said: "But who should be credited for this credit? "Han Jiang's expression changed, and he immediately said: "Of course this is all due to the New Deal. You must know that the increase in tax revenue last year has exceeded the previous year. The reform of banknotes has further promoted the development of commerce. At the same time, the reform of the household registration system has caused more people to pay taxes, and the Qingmiao money has helped many people. Of course, I do not deny the contribution of the Tax Department, but you must know that the Tax Department collects taxes based on the income of the people. If the people do not make any money, it is naturally difficult for the Tax Department to receive an extra penny.
" Yuan Jiang said modestly: "Where! Where is it! Han Si is overrated.
" Han Jiang said: "This is a fact, and the transfer envoy does not need to be humble.
" Wei Yingfang and the others also agreed one after another, exaggerating Yuan Jiang's policy like hype.
They never forgot to provoke the New Deal and the Public Procuratorate, and Han Jiang didn't mention the Public Prosecution Law in his words, obviously taking all the credit for himself.
Can the Public Security Bureau agree? At least Sima Guang would definitely not agree.
Now that the finances of Hezhong Mansion and Jingdong East Road should have been released one after another, it is time for a showdown. For them, the best result is that the New Deal and judicial reform will die together. If this goal cannot be achieved, Then they hope that the New Deal can win.
As for the tax department, they have studied it very thoroughly now. The reason why they have nothing to do with the tax department is that the tax department is taking a legal path and making everything public. This has caused many rich people to be very afraid. Don't dare to be an enemy, unlike the tax collectors in the past, who collected exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which could easily provoke conflicts between the people and the tax department.
It can be said that if there is no public security law, they will be able to drive the tax department out of Hezhong Mansion in just one year.
However, Han Jiang is really not joking. He really wants to give all the credit to the New Deal. Just imagine, if the public security law can also promote financial growth, then the New Deal really is unnecessary.
However, Han Jiang can figure out the specific reason, and the real contribution is the public security law, so this has to be discussed with Zhang Fei.
Imperial Court.
"Han Temple is back.
" Seeing Han Jiang, Zhang Fei immediately felt regretful and said: "It's a pity that the Han Temple incident is so perfect that I missed a big show! "Han Jiang glanced at him, "You don't make insinuations here, boy, I just avoided it on purpose. I came here mainly to inspect the disarmament, not to dip into the muddy water of you kid. I was fooled once. not enough? "The last time he independently declared the exemption tax in the capital, he was frightened and couldn't sleep at night. The situation at that time was much more dangerous than that of Hezhong Mansion. At that time, even the siege vehicles were dispatched. , directly frightened the officials of the Hezhong Mansion, so that they did not dare to act rashly, and the lawsuit in the capital was later turned into a purge of officials. At that time, many officials were directly exiled. Han Jiang never wanted to go through it again.
He calculated that it was almost time, so he hurried on a business trip.
"Han Temple's affairs are serious.
" Zhang Fei smiled embarrassingly, and cursed inwardly, this old fox.
Ask again: "Is it true that Han Sishi is here just to inspect the disarmament?" Seeing the kid's eyes full of smiles, he knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he simply said, "Besides that, there is one more thing.
" Zhang Fei remained silent, waiting for the answer.
Han Jiang coughed, "Why don't you talk anymore, kid.
" Seeing that he was still shy, Zhang Fei said straightforwardly: "According to the current financial situation, it is impossible for Jingdong East Road to win the Hezhong Mansion.
" Han Jiang said in a bad mood: "The finance of the Hezhong Mansion has increased by a full two million guan, which is more than the young crops on Jingdong East Road. How can we win? "Zhang Fei said: "But I think that the credit should be counted as Wang Xueshi's new policy. Although our public security law has found many flaws in the system, it is because of the proper adjustment of Yuan Xueshi's policy, which turned decay into magic and made the finances improve rapidly. increase.
" "Your boy has a conscience.
" Han Jiang nodded approvingly. I have to say that although this kid is a bit hateful, he can always help Wang Anshi at critical moments, and he can often achieve decisive effects. He asked again: " Then how do you report to Sima Junshi? Zhang Fei said: "Of course I will truthfully report to Bachelor Sima. In terms of governing by law, our public security bureau has done a very good job, and we have won the support of the people, and the law and order in Hezhong Mansion is getting better and better. It's finances, isn't it? Of course, the credit for this is mainly due to the transfer department.
" Han Jiang nodded.
Zhang Fei sighed and said: "Actually, the public security law and the New Deal complement each other, and I don't know why they are incompatible.
" Han Jiang also felt the same about this. In fact, he did not oppose Sima Guang's policy. It was just that Fan Zhongyan and the others had proved that that way would not work. Wang Anshi only proposed the political idea of financial management. Agreeing with Wang Anshi's ideas even more, he couldn't help sighing: "This man is in the court, he can't help himself! "After receiving Zhang Fei's affirmative answer, Han Jiang left. As soon as he left, Xu Zhiqian came back into the house, "Is the Han Temple here to claim credit? "Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lower lip, "Can't one person get half the credit?" Zhang Fei glanced at her, shook his head and smiled, "Of course not, the New Deal cannot afford to lose in this battle. The New Deal may face bankruptcy.
" Xu Zhiqian asked: "Could it be that the public prosecutor can afford to lose? Zhang Fei said: "So we have to find a way to persuade Wang Xueshi to support our public prosecutor's law."
" Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.
Zhang Fei stood up and gave up his seat, "It's almost time, we have to write a letter to Bachelor Wang and Bachelor Sima.
