Chapter 627 Want It All (Two Chapters in One)
Dengzhou.
I saw a young man clasping his hands on his chest, happily, walking briskly, walking along the riverside path to the small village in the south.
"Brother Niu! Brother Niu!"
I saw a guy chasing after him.
"Xiao Shui! You... are you here to borrow money too?"
"That's right! I borrowed three pennies, how about you?"
"I borrowed five guan."
"What are you going to do with the money?"
"I want to buy some meat first, and cook a bowl of broth for my child when I get home."
"I think so too, let's go, let's go together."
Suddenly I heard a person next to me say: "You two brothers, please stay."
The two looked back, only to see a scribe with an extraordinary bearing and a handsome book boy.
"Is the sir calling us?"
"Yes."
The scribe stepped forward, "I just heard what you two said. It seems that you want to use money to buy meat?"
"Ah."
"I don't know where the money came from?"
"Why? We didn't steal or rob. It's all young crop money borrowed from Changping warehouse."
"I don't know if you two know the purpose of this young crop money?"
"It was loaned to us by the imperial court at a low interest rate in order to take care of our people."
"The purpose of the Qingmiao money is to take care of those people who can't eat when they are young and yellow."
"Yes! That's what I mean."
"But if you borrow money, you need to repay the money. The interest of these two cents is quite a lot, and the period is relatively short. I advise you not to rush to sell meat with this money, but to look at what is needed for farm work. Farm tools, better seedlings, try to use the money to get more income, so that you can pay back the money when the time comes."
"Oh, thank you sir for teaching me a lot."
"If Mister has no other advice, then...then we'll go back first."
The scribe looked at the two of them worriedly, and nodded slightly.
After the two of them left, the scribe couldn't help but sighed, "Those people are still too eager for quick success, and they didn't consider the common people."
This scribe is none other than Fan Chunren, and the servant next to him is naturally Fang Yun.
Fang Yun asked curiously: "They lend money to the common people, and the two-cent interest rate is much lower than those loan sharks in the village. Why did the teacher say that they didn't consider the common people?"
Fan Chunren glanced at her, "Today's government is more like a businessman who lends money. They only want to lend money, without considering whether the people need it, and don't inform the people of the stakes. They just blindly promote the Green Crop Law. It is a way to save the people, encouraging the people to borrow money, but not urging the people to use the money for farming as much as possible so that they can pay back the money in the future.
Nowadays, many ignorant people go away after hearing the news. They don't need it urgently, don't consider the consequences, and don't think clearly about where the money should be used, so they rashly borrow the money from young crops. I will regret it. "
Fang Yun frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"
Fan Chunren shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, there is nothing I can do now as a teacher. With the current development, Jingdong East Road's finances will definitely increase this year, and the officials will also be blinded by this falsehood. Even if you can see it clearly, I’m afraid it will be regarded as ignorance, and now we can only hope that the Hezhong Mansion will be better, and the officials can choose the best one.”
At present, the situation in Hezhong Mansion is very clear. Everyone knows that the government is completely putting the treasure on the head of the tax department.
Because whether it is the young crop law or the exemption law, the income is so small that it is not enough to look at it at all, and it can't even pay the interest on the salt debt.
But the government is still increasing expenditures, and just spent a sum of money to build prisons for the police station, and in terms of water conservancy, to build ditches for the people, but this part of the money is entirely dependent on salt money to continue their lives there.
As time goes by, autumn is approaching, and the government's finances are already stretched.
So don't think about it, the only way out for the government is taxation.
Those who oppose the tax department and the public security law are starting to move around again, as long as you can't collect it, it's over.
They are also racking their brains and trying every means to avoid the investigation of the tax department. For them, this year is very important, because the first offender will not be punished, but only fined. They have one chance .
In this regard, they are both apprehensive and very looking forward to it.
If it succeeds, it will be done once and for all. No matter how strong your public security law is now and how popular you are, once there is a financial problem, all the responsibilities will be yours.
If it fails, the future will be full of uncertainty, and the entire officialdom will change.
It's approaching autumn, and the most important season of the year is coming soon. The tax department and the transshipment department are starting to move frequently.
The Department of Taxation first announced the tax collection date for this year, from the first day of September to the fifteenth day of December. Overdue will be regarded as tax evasion. It will be regarded as illegal possession. Although the white contract still has legal effect, it will face high penalties.
In addition, under the order of the Commissioner of Changping, the Taxation Department promulgated a very important regulation, which is to determine that when collecting taxes, fifty cash is equal to a bucket of rice. According to this regulation, there is no way to talk about conversion.
The people wept with joy when they heard the news, which shows that people hate this conversion.
At the same time, under the order of the Transit Department, the government government stipulated that the officials of the Hezhong government should go to the Jieku shop of Majia every month to receive their salaries.
The Royal Police, on the other hand, followed the Imperial Army to promote Chang Ping Si to receive his salary.
After this combination of punches, the originally clear situation suddenly became foggy again.
Liang Youyi rushed to Wei's mansion that day. The old man was quite famous originally, and he was already at home to take care of his life, but his mind was too small. Anyway, in the past year, as long as he could attack the public security department and the taxation department, he would He doesn't care about this interest because he actively participates and contacts the government on behalf of the opposition. He just kills Zhang Fei to avenge his shame.
However, he is enjoying it very much now, and many opponents follow suit, because he can speak in the government, and his desire for power begins to expand.
"What exactly is going on?"
Liang Youyi asked Wei Yingfang anxiously.
Now is also a critical moment for them. They have found a way to deal with the tax department, but the government suddenly cooperates with the tax department. This is really terrible.
Those orders were issued by the government and the Transshipment Department, and the Taxation Department was just an executive agency.
Wei Yingfang knew what he was worried about, so he said: "Don't get me wrong, we are not cooperating with the tax department, but giving them orders."
Liang Youyi asked: "In other words, this is all decided by the government."
Wei Yingfang nodded.
Liang Youyi said, "Why?"
Wei Yingfang said: "According to what Yuan Xueshi said, this is to use taxation to balance the price of food. When everyone has a lot of food, they will use food to pay taxes. When there is less food, they can use money to pay taxes. It’s also a way to balance food prices.”
Liang Youyi didn't quite believe it. At such a critical moment, you are free to do this, "Is that all?"
Wei Yingfang said: "Of course not, the main purpose is to prevent the tax department from exploiting the common people by using conversion."
Liang Youyi's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."
The officials are still united with Yuan Jiang, which shows that they have great trust in Yuan Jiang's methods. Everyone agrees with this policy, because when they convert it, they hate it more than anyone else. Now that they have changed people, they cannot convert it. Don't take a penny from your tax department.
This is actually the idea that Han Jiang brought to them. The power of the government is still the greatest, and it depends on whether you can use it.
Wei Yingfang said again: "The other thing is to use reasonable government orders to extend our government's power according to the meaning of the Han Temple, and take the initiative to order the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department instead of blindly opposing them. At the same time, we can win the hearts of the people."
Liang Youyi nodded, and asked again: "Apart from this, what is the reason for the Royal Police to raise the salary of Commander Changping and the officials to receive the salary from the Jieku Shop in Ma's House?"
Wei Yingfang said: "The reason for the royal police to promote Changping to receive the salary is to control the finances of the police station. As for the officials to go to the Ma's house to get the salary, it is because the government invested money in the Ma's house. It will take a long time to get back the principal with interest. Therefore, Bachelor Yuan plans to take some interest from the Ma family every month to subsidize the expenditure in this area, and then allocate it from the salary that should have been allocated to officials. Go to the finance department of the transshipment department."
Liang Youyi wondered, "How much money did your government invest in Ma's Jiekupu?"
"Fifty thousand."
Wei Yingfang said: "It is said that it is not enough at present, so the Transit Department will also invest [-] guan in salt money in Ma's family, which will be used to distribute salaries to officials."
Just at this time, Cao Yi suddenly arrived.
"The tax form is out! This is the tax form I just got from the tax department." Cao Yi walked into the hall quickly.
Wei Yingfang was slightly taken aback, and immediately said, "Show it to me quickly."
Cao Yi handed over the tax bill.
When he heard the tax bill, Liang Youyi didn't care too much. He got up and walked over, looking at the densely packed grid, "This tax bill is really detailed."
Wei Yingfang said: "Sure enough, there is a tax exemption written on it."
This relieved him a little.
In fact, this is the reason for their lack of confidence in opposing the tax department. Just like in Beijing, because the tax department fully agrees with their tax-free privileges, this has led to a large number of people not caring about it. Tax evasion is illegal, and it is a consensus. You There is no objection, but you will try to abolish this privilege.
Liang Youyi suddenly frowned, "There is another income here? What does it include?"
"This is the famous illegal tax revenue of the tax department," Cao Yi said.
"Illegal tax revenue?"
"I just asked carefully. This is to facilitate those robbers and thieves to pay taxes. Those people can't write the robbery income on it."
".?"
Liang Youyi and Wei Yingfang looked up at Cao Yi.
Wei Yingfang suddenly asked, "Did the tax department really say that?"
Cao Yi nodded.
Wei Yingfang said: "Do you think there is nothing wrong with saying that? Isn't this just covering up those who do evil?"
Cao Yidao: "Why didn't I ask, but the tax department said that they only collect taxes based on income, and this illegal matter is not their responsibility, unless they don't pay taxes."
Liang Youyi was flustered when he heard this, "Is this tax department really so powerful that he can even find out illegal income?"
Cao Yi and Wei Yingfang looked at each other and shook their heads.
Who knows!
Fuya!
I saw two middle-aged men in gray gowns hurried out of the gate of the mansion.
"Where are the two escorts in a hurry?"
The yamen in front of the door asked casually.
One of the guards said: "Go out and do some errands."
The yamen servant said, "I'm going to Ma's house to release the salary of the warehouse shop."
"You know as much as you do!"
The Yasi pretended to be angry and glared at him, then went down the steps with his friend, and walked towards Ma's Jiekupu, sighing as he walked.
"Hey, we used to distribute food and money to others, but now it's someone else's turn to distribute food and money to us. This is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi."
"This salary is much higher than last year. As long as we can send the full amount of money, then we will not lose money, but those government servants may not be so easy to control in the future. After all, they don't ask us to send money."
"It is said that all the salt notes are issued. I am always uneasy. We know what is going on with the salt notes. It won't take long for them to be cheaper than paper."
"That's true, let's get the salt money later, and hurry up to buy something."
"Ah."
When I came to the Jieku shop of Ma's house, I saw many people standing inside, and all of them were old acquaintances, who greeted the two of them one after another.
Interestingly, the civil servants related to finance are unhappy, while the civil servants not related to finance are very happy.
Because this way of paying wages undoubtedly deprives some people of their power, but the clerks who are exploited by this power are naturally very happy. In the past, when they went to collect wages, they would not only be stripped away, but also had to receive a debt of favor go back.
A small book, a seal, and then handed out together with a dozen salt bills.
It was done almost in the blink of an eye.
It was astonishingly fast.
This efficiency was never imagined by the government.
Royal Court!
bang bang bang!
The sound of gongs and drums for the end of get out of class sounded, but this time Zhang Fei did not rush to call "end of get out of class", but said to the students: "Let me tell you first, this autumn, you may become very busy."
A student immediately asked, "Did the teacher ask us to try the case?"
"Don't you usually look in the mirror?"
"Uh!"
The student blushed in embarrassment.
The rest of the students buried their heads in laughter.
Zhang Fei added: "In the second half of the year, all of you must go to the Legal Aid Department to study, and then the Legal Aid Department will arrange for you to assist the tax department, go to various villages, and help the people register for taxes."
"what?"
"Teacher, we are here to study the law."
"Then do you know how many lawsuits are filed every year because of taxes?"
The students fell silent immediately. .
Zhang Fei added: "But now all of them have been changed to self-declaration. If you don't know anything about it, how will you try this kind of lawsuit in the future? This is a rare opportunity for you, because in this process, you will Fully understand what is the root cause of many disputes. This is a very valuable experience. You must cheer up and cherish this opportunity.
This is also the final exam of this year. At that time, you have to write an article about self-declaration from a legal point of view. Those with excellent grades can go to the imperial courts to work in various places. Those with average grades will have to practice with the Legal Aid Department and continue to accept studies , those who fail, have to think again whether they are suitable for this line of work.Understand? "
"clear."
The students are sweating profusely, Alexander.
"get out of class off!"
Zhang Fei packed up the documents and went out.
After getting out of law school, Zhang Fei lamented, "My teacher is becoming more and more professional. Damn, am I here to be a judge or a teacher?"
Of course, complaints are complaints, and he also understands that there is no way to do this, because these courses can only be taught by him, unless he only wants to let the public security and law enforcement take a break.
Suddenly, a familiar figure floated in front of him.
"Day shift!"
Zhang Fei shouted immediately.
"Oh! It's three nos, Chief Judge."
Bai Ban looked back and walked over immediately, saluting respectfully.
Zhang Fei said: "Old Bai, why don't you tell me when you come here."
The day shift sighed bitterly: "Hey! President, you don't know that we are so busy these days, we have to print thousands of contracts every day, and the essay solicitation side knows every day, so we are too busy. No, I'm planning to talk to him."
"That's it!" Zhang Fei said, "I'll tell you a way to keep yourself from being so tired."
Bai Ban hurriedly asked: "What way?"
Zhang Fei said: "If you are too tired, you will earn some money, take it out and have a look, and you will feel better."
Bai Ban blinked, "It seems that we really can't make money recently."
Now he and Hong Zhong are not working as laborers. They all have shares in the printing workshop of Hezhong Mansion and get a commission.
Zhang Fei asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better?"
"It's really better." Bai Ban was also happy.
"That's good."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "After talking with Zheng Wen, ask him to invite you to a restaurant for a good meal, and just say that's what I said."
"Hey!"
Bai Ban nodded again and again, "I remember, I will tell him later, that kid doesn't treat us like human beings."
"Hehe. Let's go."
"Hey! Then I'll go."
"Ah."
After the day shift left, Zhang Fei sighed again, "I almost forgot, I'm still a rich man. Yes, I am a rich man!"
Suddenly, he remembered something, and hurried to catch up with Bai Shift, "Old Bai, wait."
"Chairman, what else is there?"
"You have to remember to pay your taxes."
"Don't worry, chief judge, I have already asked Zhengwen to help us forget it."
"Strict! Very good. Go! Go!"
After the day shift left, Zhang Fei returned to the imperial court.
"Huh? Zhiqian!"
Suddenly seeing Xu Zhiqian standing under the eaves, looking in front of the door, he quietly came behind Xu Zhiqian, followed her gaze for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"what?"
Xu Zhiqian screamed in fright, turned her head, and said angrily: "Why do you walk without making a sound?"
Zhang Fei said without changing his face: "I called you several times."
"Is it?"
"What are you doing to lie to you?"
Zhang Fei wondered again: "What are you looking at so engrossed?"
Xu Zhiqian seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said: "Zhang San, I found a problem."
Zhang Fei asked curiously, "What's the problem?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Did you know that for five days in a row, no one came to the imperial court to sue."
Zhang Fei said, "What's the problem?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "In the past, except for the cold winter months, people came here almost every day to sue or make unreasonable troubles, at most one day apart, but during this period, there was not a single person."
Speaking of this, she analyzed it seriously: "Although the law and order has indeed improved, most of the lawsuits in the past were civil disputes, but recently there is really no one. Do you think it is strange?"
Zhang Fei pondered for a moment, "What day is it today?"
"It's already fifteen, what day is it?" Xu Zhiqian said.
Zhang Fei asked again: "When does the government usually issue salaries?"
"Seventh day!"
"Seventh day?"
Zhang Fei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to find the answer."
Xu Zhiqian said, "Do you know the answer?"
Zhang Fei ignored him, turned around and walked out the door.
"Wait for me!"
Xu Zhiqian followed Zhang Fei to the market outside the imperial court.
"Why did you bring me to the market?"
"The answer is here."
Zhang Fei pointed to the market downhill.
"The answer is in the market?"
Xu Zhiqian stared at it, and suddenly said: "There seem to be a lot more hawkers today than before, probably more than doubled."
Suddenly I heard singing coming from down the slope, looking for the reputation, but saw a few uncles carrying burdens, humming a little song, leaving the market, "It's still early, why did they go back?"
I saw the burden swinging back and forth again, "Could it be that their goods have already been sold out?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The observation skills are not bad."
Xu Zhiqian tilted her head again, staring at him suspiciously, suddenly remembered the question Zhang Fei asked just now, her heart suddenly brightened, "I see. This month is the first time that the government has borrowed the Ma's Jieku shop to distribute salaries to civil servants, and The salt bills were issued, and officials like them naturally don’t believe in salt bills, so they will exchange salt bills for grain, salt, tea and other goods.”
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded and said: "Exactly, but at the same time, the tax department has made it clear that salt money can be used to pay taxes, so merchants and common people also need this salt money to pay taxes, because paying taxes with salt money can It is also more convenient to avoid loss.
As a result, officials and the royal police are busy buying goods with salt notes, and merchants are also busy exchanging goods for salt notes.Anyway, if they are not in a hurry to spend money, they are in a hurry to make money, so there is no time to come here to litigate, even if there is a dispute, they will settle in private, an inch of time is worth an inch of gold! "
"I see." Xu Zhiqian nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "So I plan to let Ye Zuqia also go out to try the case. Anyway, those students have to go to the tax department to help, so I can stay in the imperial court to try the case."
Having said that, he frowned slightly: "But next year we will be very busy."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Tax evasion lawsuit."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "So we cherish the present time and communicate more in the evening."
This is what he has already arranged. He only has free time this year, so he puts all his energy into cultivating talents. It will not be so easy next year.
The Taxation Department, which has been silent for half a year, has gradually become lively recently, and there is always a long queue at the door.
The number of tax collection counters has also increased from one to fifteen.
The accountant behind the No. 3 counter didn't know if it was Chen Ming's relative, but he also had a paralyzed face. After carefully examining the land deed and household registration, he said, "Twenty Guan."
"Yes."
The man took out two ten-peat salt bills and handed them over.
Holding the salt money, carefully looked at it, put it into the cash box on the side, covered it with the official seal, and handed the land deed and household registration back to the person, "Next."
"Is that all right?"
"Ah."
The accountant said impatiently: "Next."
"I'm giving you money, you're not happy anymore." The man muttered.
The accountant glared and said: "Then you don't have to come to deliver it! You are justified for tax evasion."
The man stopped immediately and walked out.
After getting out of the gate, he quickly got into a carriage beside the road, and saw two officials in satin robes sitting inside.
It was Duan Chaobei and Webb, the banknote merchants of Hezhong Mansion.
"How is it?" Duan Chaobei asked.
"handed in!"
The man handed the title deed and household registration to Duan Chaobei.
Duan Chaobei said: "The tax department didn't ask if there are other fields under this household registration?"
The man said: "Not only did he not ask, but he was very impatient when I asked more. The tax department mainly looks at the land deed. If there is no problem, let us pay the money and stamp it."
"I see."
After the man got out of the carriage, Webb suddenly said, "This tax department is more arrogant than the government."
Duan Chaobei said: "It doesn't matter whether you are arrogant or not. This care makes the Wannian ship! Let's pay the tax secretly. We will see the situation next year. If the tax department can't find it, then we won't pay it."
Webb said, "Could everyone think the same way as us, and everyone will pay their taxes by then."
Duan Chaobei frowned and said: "I guess everyone will pay the deed tax. After all, the land and houses can't be hidden. If the tax department really checks it, it will definitely be found. But the general tax, there must be many people who don't like it." They will pay the full amount. Many wealthy people are stinging money like their lives, and at 15.00% tax, they have to pay at least hundreds of dollars in tax, isn’t it killing them.”
And not far from them, there was still a carriage, and there were two people sitting in the carriage, they were Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang.
"It seems that what Chen Ming said is not bad at all!"
Cai Yanqing couldn't help laughing when he saw the team lined up outside the door.
Yuan Jiang said: "The houses and fields are so conspicuous, how can they avoid them, but after Bai Qi pays the deed tax, it will be much easier to declare taxes independently."
A lot of hidden fields just can't be hidden.
Cai Yanqing turned around and said with a smile: "Didn't the tax have already collected more than half of it. The Transshipment Department directly transferred the money from the original salary to the Transshipment Department's fiscal revenue this year, and distributed salt money as salary to the officials and the Royal Police. Use salt money to buy goods from the people, and the people get the salt money and use it to pay taxes. At the same time, everyone is used to using salt money, so they should keep some in their hands, even if they leave a third of it without changing it for salt. The profit is also very considerable, this trick is really high!"
Yuan Jiang nodded and said: "I also have to admit that this kid Zhang San came up with this. We have already earned more than 100 million yuan in profits from salt debts and salt money, which can make up for the financial gap to a large extent. The defect, but it will take three years to make up for it, and if more people use salt money, it may not need to be made up.”
Cai Yanqing suddenly asked: "Then whose political achievement is this?"
Yuan Jiang hesitated for a while, knowing that she couldn't hide it, she said embarrassingly: "Of course it is the achievements of the Transshipment Department and the government. On the surface, it is still the policy we promulgated."
When I said this, I was quite lacking in confidence.
Cai Yanqing said: "But we all know that without the supervision of the public security bureau, paying salt debts and salt money will not work."
Yuan Jiang said: "But without our cooperation, they would not have achieved such great success. They have already won a lot, but the final result must be that the New Deal wins."
Cai Yanqing nodded slightly, and also understood why Yuan Jiang was willing to suffer so much grievances at the beginning, because he was the one who picked the fruit in the end, so of course he could bear it, "This outsider thinks that the finances of Hezhong Mansion and Jingdong East Road this year are the It is a decisive battle between judicial reform and the New Deal. But in fact, it is the political achievements of the two places, and the New Deal will all be in the bag."
Yuan Jiang said with a little embarrassment: "If you think so, there is nothing wrong with it."
Then Wang Jiefu is not a good man and a faithful woman. The so-called "win-win" means that he wants to win Sima Guang twice, but he can't give up all the achievements of the Hezhong government to the public prosecutor. In his opinion, Zhang Fei is His people's promotion of Changping Division, a super financial institution, came from the New Deal, not from the Public Security Bureau.
Cai Yanqing said: "Whether this will affect judicial reform, you and I both know that the public security law is the key."
Yuan Jiang said: "No one can deny the role played by the public security law, including Wang Jiefu, but the public security law has little to do with financial growth, because the current financial growth mainly relies on salt debts and salt money. It’s just Zhang San’s idea to promote Chang Ping’s achievements, as for the taxation, it’s still unknown, but even if there is a good increase, it’s the common achievements of everyone.”
Cai Yanqing smiled, "Does your plan work?"
Yuan Jiang took a deep breath, thought a little, and said, "Maybe there is! But I don't know, maybe only Wang Jiefu and Sima Junshi know it well, no, maybe Zhang San is one of them."
Cai Yanqing frowned suddenly, "Yes! Where is he from?"
Yuan Jiang shook her head in confusion.
