Chapter 452 Keep making trouble. Don't stop
In fact, Sima Guang did not say that he decided to let Zhang Fei go to the northwest.
At that time in the hall, he was just frightened by Wang Anshi's suggestion, and then he had an idea, anyway, if he wanted to send Zhang Fei out, he might as well let him go to the northwest.
But he didn't expect that almost all the ministers supported him at that time, and Sima Guang also realized that it was not easy to go to the northwest. After retiring from the court, he was also a little uncertain, so he came to ask Zhang Fei.
As a result, Zhang Fei was frightened.
Sima Guang also felt that he had to think carefully.
Little did he know that Wang Anshi just mentioned that in passing, and this was actually what he had planned long ago. When he saw an opportunity, he laid the groundwork. He didn't say that he would act immediately, and he didn't expect to scare Sima Guang.
At this time, Wang Anshi didn't think about it at all. It was just a small episode. After retiring from the court, he dragged Han Jiang to Sinong Temple.
For Wang Anshi, nothing is more important than finances.
His current mind is still on the recruitment law.
"I see."
Wang Anshi nodded, and closed the account book in his hand, "This person pays hundreds of guan, or even hundreds of guan, no wonder the increase is so fast."
Han Jiang said with a smile: "It's thanks to Jiefu's foresight to expand the exemption tax to government households and monk households. Otherwise, even if no one evades taxes based on ordinary people, it will be a drop in the bucket. Now we estimate The tax exemption income can reach at least 70 guan, and maybe 80 guan.”
Before, the tax income was about five or six guan, why did it suddenly soar to 30 guan? It is because the government households began to pay taxes on a large scale, and they often pay hundreds of guan in taxes. The income of Sinong Temple is soaring. !
Wang Anshi waved his hand: "I have to admit that if I were to do it, I wouldn't be able to do it so well. This is all thanks to Zhang San. The way he calculates taxes is painful, but he can't say it out. "
Han Jiang nodded and said: "Just as Fu Gong just said, prudent punishment and light punishment can lead to better law enforcement. It is said that Zhang San's law is extremely lenient in the collection of exemption tax this time, whether it is a self-declaration or a final decision. The tax law, but this is the secret of his success, and those powerful people also upheld it at that time, as long as you catch him, then I will admit it."
Wang Anshi asked: "Then tell me, is it feasible in other places?"
Although he has a stubborn personality, if you really show your achievements in politics, he will still obey him. In fact, his new laws are very few that are completely original. situation, modify and improve.
"Disaster!"
Han Jiang sighed: "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue these days. To do this, first of all, there must be support from above. Duke Wen was very opposed to the recruitment law at first, but after Zhang San took over, he also And didn't say anything more.
Secondly, we need to have a strong taxation department. So far, no one has figured out how the taxation department found those evidences. The procuratorate wanted to check it later, but it couldn't find it.
Finally, the foundation, Kaifeng prefecture already has the foundation of public security, law and tax department, but the local government does not have these.
Zhang San can succeed because he has the right time, place and people.But in other states and counties, there is no such thing at all, at least it is impossible to complete it in a short period of time. "
Wang Anshi hardly hesitated, and said, "Just act according to the previous plan."
Han Jiang nodded.
After the resolution of the court meeting, the trial of Kaifeng Mansion finally landed.
At the same time, the self-declaration of the rest of the prefectures and counties in Kaifeng Prefecture is also in full swing.
The rest of the prefectures and counties are looking at Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties. If you can't stand it, then don't ask for trouble. After all, this is under the feet of the emperor, and the power of the gentry is greatly restricted.
However, this matter is definitely not over.
Because this is only an exemption tax, and there will be two taxes in summer and autumn after that. Although official households have privileges, the problem is that this privilege is limited. Each class has a regulation on how many acres of land are exempt from tax.
In the end, Wang Hongjin fell for tax evasion.
Who doesn't evade taxes?
Although the current tax department is only concerned with the exemption tax and not the summer and autumn taxes, it is called the tax department after all, not the exemption tax department.
Will definitely take over in the future.
We must continue to make trouble, we must not stop.
They immediately set their sights on the clan.
The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty have always pursued to rule the world with the emperor, and this power must be balanced. In their view, the exemption tax is not only a matter of money, but more of a power issue. You asked us to pay more money, but you It doesn't change, one ebbs and another ebbs and flows, how can this work?
Of course, they didn't dare to directly target the emperor. This amount of money would not mean that they would tear themselves apart from the emperor.
It just so happened that Kaifeng Mansion ruled to confiscate all of Wang Hongjin's belongings, which directly led to the exposure of Wang Hongjin's belongings.
This is an opportunity for ministers to create public opinion.
The evidence has confirmed that these actually belong to Zhao Wenzheng. It seems that they suddenly discovered that the clan is so rich, and the accounts are really shocking, but they still enjoy such good benefits from the state. The current state expenditure on the clan is high. For spending on officials in the capital.
On the books, the monthly expenditure of the clan is [-] guan, while that of Beijing officials is [-] guan.
Isn't the fiscal deficit?
Immediately, someone took the opportunity to play and asked the clan to carry out reforms. On the grounds of ancestral precepts and the Tang system, they demanded that the salary grants other than the five clothes be stopped, and some fields be given to them in other places so that they can go outside to support themselves.
The clan is furious!
We are also the victims, this grievance has its culprit, the debt has its owner, why are you coming at us, whoever you provoked.
Zhao Wenzheng was furious and bullied people too much, and immediately went to the emperor, saying that there were too many children of Enyin in the court, and he wanted to reduce Enyin.
The officials were even more furious. Almost all relatives were included within the five suits, and most of the grace was only aimed at the son, and if it was reduced, it would be gone.
In fact, they didn't want to deal with the clan. They also knew that Zhao Wenzheng was a victim. They just wanted to make use of the problem to make trouble with the emperor. They thought it was impossible for the emperor to agree, but it's okay for your emperor to disapprove, then you have to restrain yourself a little.
Your family eats meat, but we don't allow soup?
Don't go overboard.
The two sides immediately launched a tearing battle.
As far as Zhang Fei is concerned, his task is basically completed, and the next step is Zhao Xu's own business. Now he has the absolute initiative.
In addition, he was really frightened by Sima Guang's thoughts, so he had to get out quickly. This tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. He knows very well how much he has.
Quickly restore your identity as a businessman.
Bianjing Law Firm.
"Mr. Yan's session?"
Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I just invite the best singing girls in Bianjing to take turns singing Yan Gong's lyrics."
Fan Zheng said curiously: "The third brother did this for...!"
"Sell books!"
Zhang Fei said.
"Sell books?" Fan Zheng almost bit his tongue, he had never seen such a book seller.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Our genuine bookstore is going to release the collection of Yan Gong's poems, but recently everyone is talking about tax exemption, so we have to make some noise to attract everyone's attention."
Fan Zheng nodded, and said again: "But it needs a lot of money?"
"How many?"
"It may cost thousands of sticks."
"His!"
Zhang Fei gasped, "Do singing and singing prostitutes make money like this?"
Fan Zhengdao: "Third brother said to invite the most famous singing girl."
Zhang Fei coughed, "Fan Zheng, the way to buy and sell is to find rare goods to live in and cultivate your own singing girls, that's the right way, otherwise, you will be controlled by singing girls."
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "I understand the truth, but it's not up to me to decide."
"Why not."
Zhang Fei said: "Mr. Yan's special session has a brand-new collection of poems to help out. Think about it, this is a gimmick. If you are interested in Baifanlou, I can arrange for Mr. Yan's special session in your Baifanlou. Then you can do it." We can select a group of good seedlings, and use this special performance by Mr. Yan to make them famous."
Fan Zheng glanced at Zhang Fei suspiciously, "Third brother, I don't know if I understand correctly, what you mean is that you have to pay you for this special event at the Baifan Building?"
Zhang Fei asked back: "You invited the singing girls to perform in the Baifan Building, and you didn't pay?"
Fan Zheng hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, I have to think about this matter."
He originally thought that he had to collect money, but he never thought that he would be asked to pay?
What are you thinking.
Zhang Fei coughed: "Fan Da, after passing this village, there will be no more shops here."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Fan Zheng nodded again and again, but changed the subject, "By the way! Third brother, many people have come to inquire about donations recently."
Zhang Fei smiled slightly and said: "As expected, this is only the exemption tax, and there will be autumn tax next, can those big landlords not panic?"
Fan Zhengdao: "But they hope that we can give a more detailed contract. If I understand correctly, they should want to know clearly how to get those lands back, and how much they can get. Benefit."
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry about this kind of people, we still have to use profits to attract them. By the way, how are you preparing for the football league?"
Fan Zhengdao: "Everything is going very smoothly. After the busy farming season, the trials will be held in late spring, the league in summer, and the finals in early autumn."
Zhang Fei nodded, and asked again: "What about the transportation business? Now that the general situation has been settled, we should be able to recruit people."
Everyone is a businessman, and they must wait for the exemption tax to arrive. The imperial court began to recruit people, and they reinvested.
Fan Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Many people still think that it is not safe yet, and we will prepare after the imperial court orders people to be transported."
Zhang Fei wondered, "Isn't it too late?"
Fan Zheng hurriedly said: "No, we have already recruited more than ten experienced hands, and they have already discussed how to transport it. If it is done, it will be able to operate soon. If it doesn't work out, there will be no loss. How much."
His personality is still relatively calm, every step of the way, watertight.
Just at this moment, Li Si walked in suddenly and whispered something in Zhang Fei's ear.
"I see."
Zhang Fei nodded, and said to Fan Zheng: "You can handle this matter as you see fit. I have something to do, so I need to go out."
Fan Zheng hurriedly said: "Then I will take my leave first."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
The two came under the big tree at the entrance of the alley, and got into their own carriages.
And the person sitting in Zhang Fei's carriage was Li Bao.
"what's up?"
"Recently we discovered a situation."
"Ok?"
Zhang Fei looked at him suspiciously.
Li Bao said: "Now is the time when the food is in short supply. Every year at this time, the price of food is going to rise, but this year is very strange. Not only did the price of food not increase, but it even dropped by two cents."
Zhang Fei is not familiar with this. He has the habit of paying attention to housing prices, but not the habit of paying attention to grain prices. He asked curiously, "Why?"
Li Bao said: "Saburo, don't forget that according to the Exemption Tax Law, the middle and lower class households pay taxes after the autumn harvest, and they pay copper coins instead of grain."
Zhang Fei frowned, "You mean, someone borrowed grain, took away the currency on the market, and drove up the price of currency, making it impossible for everyone to pay taxes with currency."
Li Bao nodded and said: "It is very possible, so the reason for this price reduction is that those big landlords are sending out grain, and it is at the same time, which makes the price of grain drop, and the common people are also exchanging the only currency they have for grain. "
Zhang Fei said: "Have you found out who did it?"
Li Bao said hehe: "In fact, there is no need to check. In terms of grain trading, there is only one place other than the imperial court."
"Xiangguo Temple."
Zhang Fei said.
Li Bao nodded and said: "At first, the officials didn't expect that we would set such a lenient tax law. Now they have no excuse not to pay the exemption tax. They can only find ways to arouse public resentment and use public resentment to counter the imperial court, especially in Kaifeng. After the ruling by the government, more landlords got involved. At that time, the common people would definitely have no extra coins, so they could only pay food.
At that time, the price of copper coins will definitely rise, and they will have to take out more grain to pay taxes than they do now, and there will inevitably be complaints.What's more, if you use goods to offset taxes, today it is food, and tomorrow it may be cloth. This will also bring a lot of trouble to the tax department. After all, if everyone pays the money uniformly, it doesn't need too many people. "
Zhang Fei rubbed his face with both hands, "We Song people still know how to play!"
