Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 629: Time is money!

Tokyo Bianliang!

The palace.

Zhao Xu put down the letter, pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said to a man in the uniform of the Imperial Army standing in front of him, "Go and tell Li Bao to arrange a hundred merchants on Jingdong East Road, distributed in various counties. I may allocate 200,000 yuan to them at that time, and Zhang San will tell him as to where it will be used for."

"Humble position obeys."

The man clasped his fists and said.

Zhao Xu nodded, but his face was full of hesitation. After a while, he waved and said: "You go down first."

"Resign from a humble position."

After the man retreated, Zhao Xu tilted his head slightly, and the servant next to him understood, and immediately took a step forward, "The servant is here."

Zhao Xu said: "Go to the inner storage now, and let someone embezzle 50,000 guan from it. Remember, you must not leak the news."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it two hundred thousand coins?"

Zhao Xu said in a bad mood: "If you misappropriate two hundred thousand guan at once, can it still be hidden? There are many people in the outer court who are staring at this inner storage."

"The servant is dull, but the servant obeys."

"Okay! Let's go."

"Slaves are leaving."

After the servant went out and closed the door, Zhao Xu clenched his fist and lightly thumped the table, saying: "This Zhang San, it is really unreasonable. I asked Mr. to make a new law. The purpose of this is to improve finances and increase the revenue of the treasury. I spend money to make up for it, isn't that making my money?"

After complaining a bit, Zhao Xu laughed again: "But then again, among these three people, almost everyone's plan has problems, but his Qianlong is the only one that should not be used. There have been no mistakes."

Hezhong Mansion.

Almost all the local farmers paid their taxes in advance. The crowd effect caused the rest of the people to worry too. They also wondered whether the government would restrict the payment of taxes in salt money because too many people paid taxes in salt money.

The credibility of the government is really worrying!

Among them, businessmen must be the most anxious, and they already have a lot of salt money in their hands without knowing it.

Li Family Bookstore.

"Mr. Yang, all your tax bills have been calculated. If there are no omissions, you will probably have to pay 123,654 yuan this year."

Li Min handed back a calculated tax bill to the potbellied middle-aged man in front of him.

"Nothing will be missed."

Member Yang waved his hands repeatedly, and lamented, "I even counted the money I earned from reselling salt money at the beginning of the year."

Li Min smiled and said, "It's rare for me to meet a client as careful as Yuanwai Yang!"

Yang Yuanwai glanced at him, "120,000 yuan, more than a hundred pennies, if you say you don't feel bad, it must be a lie. It is not easy for us to make money, but if we lose money, the imperial court will not help us." Yes, but from the current point of view, this business is getting easier and easier to do, and we are afraid that if we save this little money, we will be sued by the tax department and prosecuted by the public prosecutor, and the small loss will make the big difference."

Li Min nodded and said: "Yuanwai has thought very thoroughly, no wonder Yuanwai can make so much money in a year."

Member Yang glanced at Li Min again, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there anyone here to ask you how to pay less tax?"

Li Min nodded and said: "There are, but I can only provide assistance under the tax law and help them calculate taxes reasonably. In other respects, I can't help."

Yang Yuanwai nodded, clapped his hands on his thighs, "Okay, I'll leave this to you, I'll go back first."

Li Min cupped his hands and said, "You can rest assured."

Just as Yang Yuanwai was sent away, he saw Zhang Fei Law School approaching, and Li Min hurried forward, "Li Min has met the chief judge. Please come to the chief judge's room."

When Zhang Fei came to the store, he sat down and asked, "How's the business going?"

Li Min replied truthfully: "Although the number of lawsuits has decreased a lot, the business of tax declaration has increased. Now many people are anxious to pay taxes."

"Really?"

Zhang Fei said.

Li Min nodded, and glanced outside, "The main reason is that many businessmen came to the store and entrusted me to help them file their taxes."

"Businessman?" Zhang Fei pondered for a while: "Nowadays the business situation is very good, they must be worried about getting involved in a lawsuit, and the small loss is worth the big blow."

Li Mindao: "The chief judge is really good at predicting things. That's exactly the case. Recently, almost all businessmen, big and small, have made a lot of money, and they predict that their business will definitely improve next year. Of course, they don't want to pay so much tax. , but they are even more afraid of delaying their own business because of this matter. After all, they are not very familiar with this self-declaration, and they are worried that the government will use it to make things difficult for them, so these people are more detailed than we think, and all income is included in it. .”

Zhang Fei nodded, and asked again: "Where is the real rich man in Hezhong Mansion?"

Li Min hesitated a little, "They just came to consult, but it seems that they have not officially started to file taxes. But I think they will definitely wait for the last month before starting to pay taxes."

"Not necessarily."

"What did Judge Zhang say?"

"Because paying in the last month is a gamble, and there is no room for maneuver. They are very shrewd and will not let you be in a desperate situation." Zhang Fei laughed.

Li Min just nodded, noncommittal.

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Zhang Fei said, "I'm just asking casually. You don't have to feel restrained, and you don't have to report the truth. If you can't tell it, don't say it. As Erbi, you still have to keep the client's secret."

Then you still ask? Li Min secretly complained in his heart, and immediately nodded embarrassingly.

Except for Zhang Fei, almost everyone thought that those big landlords would wait until the last month to pay taxes. However, they were all wrong.

After this wave of small merchants paying taxes, the real rich people of Hezhong Mansion came to the headquarters of the taxation department to pay their taxes.

Originally, the deadline for tax payment stipulated by the tax department was December 15th, but at the beginning of November, it was basically completed.

This also directly broke the record for the fastest tax collection in Song Dynasty.

Because everyone pays taxes with salt money.

But this record is not that important, it is useless soon, the key depends on how much tax is collected.

Cai Yanqing, Yuan Jiang and the others also rushed to the taxation department immediately to inquire about the specific situation.

Of course, the tax department cannot hide any tax situation from them, and it also truthfully hand over the tax accounts to them.

"This is already 70,000 guan more than last year's total tax."

Cai Yanqing was taken aback.

Although 70,000 guan is not a lot, you must know that this was collected without exploiting the self-cultivated farmers, and there was a wave of tax increases last autumn, which is quite remarkable. Before coming, Cai Yanqing predicted It is estimated that even if the income is two-thirds, it is already great.

The number of officials present, including Yuan Jiang, clicked their tongues.

Although Yuan Jiang has seen this self-declaration before, when she was in the capital, it was all recovered later, that is, after the tax department used force, the tax amount doubled. At first, it only collected tens of thousands of guan.

But in Hezhong Prefecture, the tax collection period has not yet ended, and it has already exceeded last year.

Of course, when Bianjing collected the exemption tax, the public security law had not yet taken shape, and the capital was full of big bosses, so it failed to deter too many people. .

Another point is that people with hidden accounts come out to pay taxes. Although their taxes are not much, they can't stand the crowd. At once, most of them account for one-third of the people. In addition, those big landlords also pay more than in previous years. , this tax will of course grow.

Not to mention other officials, we have exhausted all our energy in the past, so it is not as good as your self-declaration, which is unreasonable!

Those guys are really cheap.

Wei Yingfang said with a smile: "The tax department is really well-deserved of its reputation. It collected all the taxes without any effort, which made Wei also educated. Admire! Admire!"

He even praised the tax department, did the sun come out from the west?

But after a while, the rest of the officials also reacted and congratulated Chen Ming one after another.

It's really amazing.

Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang saw it in their eyes, how could they not understand in their hearts, in fact, they were implying that overcompleting the task is considered the finale, so don't bother, face is mutual, everyone gives face like this, you have to Take it when you see it.

But Chen Ming still had the same paralyzed face, and cupped his hands and said: "The duty of our tax department is not to care about the increase or decrease of tax. This is your duty. Our duty is to collect taxes according to law."

A look of displeasure flashed in Wei Yingfang's eyes, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Is there any difference?"

Chen Mingdao: "Our goal is to ensure that no one evades taxes. We will start tax inspections next year."

Yuan Jiang coughed lightly: "It's already exceeded so much, it should be that no one is evading taxes."

Wei Yingfang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes."

Chen Mingdao: "You have to check to find out."

"!"

The smiles on the faces of the officials gradually disappeared, and they once again looked at Chen Ming with hostile eyes. You are shameless, but you were directly absorbed by that paralyzed face.

Besides, Chen Ming was really not joking with them. After seeing them off, Chen Ming came to the back hall, and saw all kinds of people sitting inside.

Chen Mingdao: "You have also investigated for a whole year. I believe you should have gained something. Whether you will sleep in the street or brothel next year, you will just look at the next three months."

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough, these three religions and nine streams all showed excitement on their faces.

When Chen Ming finished speaking, several people immediately sent them the accounts one by one.

How to investigate tax evasion, you first need to know how much tax they have paid. Before that, they have been investigating the transactions and land information of those big rich people. Now they have to give them the accounts to compare with their information.

Chen Ming said again: "Remember! You must be careful at this time, because the tax collection period ends on December 15th. Even if you find out, it is best not to disclose it, otherwise, if the other party pays back Then your bonus will be gone. During this period, you only need to prepare all the evidence, and start the prosecution next year."

"Thank you for reminding the tax department, we will remember."

"Yeah."

The weather turned cold, and the river, which had been busy day and night for half a year, finally gradually became deserted.

A lone sail sailed slowly, and there were two people sitting cross-legged in the cabin, one was dressed as a fisherman and the other was dressed as an old man.

"Look!"

The fisherman put a tax bill on the low table, "Is it your master's tax bill?"

The old man picked it up and took a closer look, nodded and said: "Yes, this is exactly my master's tax bill, exactly. Where did you get it from?"

The fisherman said: "It was sent to us by the tax envoy. If you don't give us the tax bill, how can we investigate tax evasion?"

The old man asked: "Did you just give my master's tax bill?"

The fisherman said: "That's not true." He said with a smile: "But the rest, it has nothing to do with your master."

There was a flash of displeasure in the old man's eyes. This guy had eaten several meals at the first sight, but it was just a flash, and he nodded, "You are right, are you sure there will be no problems?"

"No! I've asked other people, and everyone gets only a part of the tax bill. They don't have your master's tax bill."

"Very good!"

Zhai Lao nodded, "Everything will be done according to the plan, and I will hand over the rest of the money to you after it is done."

"Don't worry."

The reason why this rich man didn't insist on paying taxes at the last second is very simple. They have to test the actions of the tax department.

But at present, at least all of this is still under their control.

The key to self-declaration lies in the eyes and ears. As long as these eyes and ears are plugged with money, the tax department will be deaf or blind. This is even easier than bribing officials.

Pay taxes?

It is impossible to pay taxes.

This kind of situation has not happened before, but they will continue to attack until they find a flaw, which is human nature.

Forwarding Division.

"Oh! This salt note is really a treasure, it's amazing! It's amazing!"

Yuan Jiang looked at the accounts without any scruples. She grinned and looked at Cai Yanqing again, "Zhongyuan, in the past when we collected taxes, we used to go to the warehouse every day, but we were really tired. Now It’s incredible that you only need to make a few strokes in the account.”

Cai Yanqing said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, don't pay the tax yet. The tax has not been collected yet."

"But I think it's almost the same, how much can they escape?" Yuan Jiang frowned and asked: "What? Do you think they evaded a lot of taxes?"

Cai Yanqing said: "I don't know, because those people have never really paid taxes, and no one knows how much money they have."

Yuan Jiang nodded: "Hearing what you said, it is worth looking forward to."

Cai Yanqing said: "It depends on whether the tax department is really capable."

Imperial Court.

Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun, and Cai Jing who had been away for half a year returned to Hezhong Mansion today.

"I have read the hall records you sent, and tried a lot of lawsuits, which is three times as many as the whole year of Hezhong Mansion this year. It is very good."

Zhang Fei smiled gratifiedly.

The three of them felt very happy when they heard it, and it was rare to be praised by the teacher.

Xu Zhiqian suddenly asked curiously: "Are these places so messy?"

Cai Bian hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu doesn't know something. In fact, those places are similar to Hezhong Mansion. It's just because those people know that the public prosecutor will go this year, so they wait for us to go before they go to sue. , This is the sum of the disputes of last year and this year.”

Xu Zhiqian nodded: "I see."

Shangguan Jun added: "In addition, Pinglu County is a traffic hub, and Jiezhou is where Yanchi is located. There are also many business disputes."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile: "But you all dealt with it very well. It's just that you are a little conservative in fines, but this is a good thing. It proves that you are very careful. Don't be impatient. After you have enough experience, Confidence will naturally increase, and the penalty will be more accurate."

"The teacher's teachings are always kept in mind by the students."

"But next year your tasks will be even heavier."

Zhang Fei said: "You stay in Hezhong Mansion temporarily for a year, and take a good rest. This year is the first year of self-declaration, and there will definitely be related lawsuits next year. We will take you for a trial for a month. After a month, you Then go back to Pinglu County to reconcile with Jiezhou, and take those students to try the local tax lawsuit. During this period, Ye Zuqia will return to Hezhong Mansion.

If there are no accidents, you will have to go to Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of the year, and then you will be truly promoted to the chief judge. And your students will continue to stay in Hezhong Mansion to hear the case, and I will re-arrange the students to go to Jingzhao Mansion with you. "

All three of them were overjoyed, "Thank you teacher for your cultivation, the students will definitely work harder and never disappoint the teacher's kindness."

"Don't disappoint your own hard work and persistence."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "From next year, you will have to break away from the teacher's dependence and have to fight on your own."

Among the entire public security and law enforcement, only the imperial court is very short of talents. The procuratorate and the police station are alright, but don't wait for me at this time. , Three lives and all things.

Speaking of this matter, Zhang Fei really hated Sima Guang to death. At the beginning of the year, he sent a letter, saying that he would send a group of young talents to study with him, laying the foundation for the future expansion of the public security system. As a result, a year passed Yes, this young talented man was completely absent.

It's really outrageous!

It's too late.

You don't need to think about it, you know, Sima Guang must pass a lot of tests, such as knowledge, character, and so on.

Although Zhang Fei said he wanted to take a good rest, due to the tight schedule, Cai Bian and the others did not have much respite. Case, discuss some details with them.

At this moment, how could Sima Guang have the mood to pay attention to talents, Fan Chunren sent a memorial to the capital, making him dizzy with anger.

Over there, Jingdong East Road has already completed the first youth money loan. It was a great success and achieved outstanding results, but the achievements Fan Chunren mentioned purely refer to financial revenue.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

Sima Guang slapped the memorial on the table, "What is his Green Crop Law that benefits the country and the people? It’s simply fishing out the water, and there has never been such an exploitative policy throughout the ages. No, I have to go to Wang Jiefu to discuss the theory and see what excuses he has.”

Wen Yanbo raised his hand and said: "Jun Shi, don't get excited, there are only five or six memorials to impeach Qingmiao Law, but there are more than 30 memorials praising Qingmiao Law."

Sima Guang said: "Nowadays those officials are afraid of the public prosecutor's law, so they are colluding with Wang Jiefu, can you say it's not good?"

Wen Yanbo said: "But why don't the officials believe those more than 30 memorials, but believe in yours?"

"That's right!" Sima Guang couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, "It's exactly as I expected."

Fu Bi slowly opened his eyes and yawned, "Since you are exactly as expected, why are you so anxious?"

Sima Guang was taken aback, then looked at Fu Bi, "What does Mr. Fu mean by that?"

Fu Bi said: "You also said just now that this method of young crops is nothing more than fishing out the water. In this case, problems will arise sooner or later. This method of accumulating wealth will not last long, and problems will definitely occur at that time. Please wait patiently."

Sima Guang hesitated: "But if it can't happen, it's better not to happen."

Wen Yanbo said: "But we have already stopped it."

This Sima Guang has a good performance in terms of knowledge, ideas, and thoughts. Using history as a mirror, he can know the ups and downs. As soon as he sees the young crops method, he knows what disaster will be caused.

However, in terms of means, he is actually far inferior to Fu Bi. Although Fu Bi has recently been in-depth and simple, and does not care about political affairs, he has fought in the Qingli New Deal, and later competed with Han Qi. We have already seen the weakness of the New Deal, we just need to bide our time and kick it.

Fu Bi suddenly asked: "By the way, didn't you say that you want to arrange someone to go to Hezhong Mansion to study with Zhang Fei? Has this person gone?"

"Ah?" Sima Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I've been choosing, but the chief judge is the core of the public prosecutor's law, and the moral aspect must be perfect, so that people can be assured."

Fu Bi touched his forehead with a headache, and said very euphemistically: "That Zhang San's morality is not perfect."

Sima Guang said: "But who can learn from Zhang San? Don't worry, rich man. I have considered this matter carefully. No matter how many tricks Zhang San has, he is incompetent. He can't take care of everything. People with good quality pass by, even if Zhang Sanshen can't take care of him, it is enough to make people feel at ease, and it will be faster.

If some people with bad intentions are sent there, even if they are very talented, once they leave Zhang San's supervision, they may have a bad influence on the public security and law enforcement. This has to be guarded against! "

Fu Bi looked at Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said nothing, he could only nod his head and said: "You have to hurry up, when Wang Jiefu's side won't work, and there is no one on your side, you may miss the opportunity. "

Sima Guang nodded and said: "Of course I know, but if this kind of thing is rushed, there may be more problems than Wang Jiefu's side. You can't let me compare who is worse with Wang Jiefu."

Fu Bi nodded with a smile and said, "That makes sense!"

But I thought in my heart, this person is just as hopeless as Wang Jiefu.

I can't persuade you at all!

The Department of Regulations of the Second Government was established.

"Did you know that Fan Chunren sent a memorial, which is all about impeachment of the Qingmiao Law."

Wang Anshi said to Lu Huiqing who came back not long ago.

Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "The student knows it, but the teacher should know this person, so he will only talk about the morality of others, but not understand the difficulty of law enforcement."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then explained: "Yes, the government over there did allocate some young crop money to those big landlords, but that was based on the fact that no one came to borrow money after the people borrowed it. That's what happened. And why didn't Fan Chunren say that those big landlords evaded taxes every year, and they still made a lot of money by giving them two cents of interest. Besides, they promised themselves, and the government didn't force them .”

Wang Anshi nodded slightly, and then asked: "I heard that some people are also burdened with heavy debts because of the Green Crop Law. Is this true?"

Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "This is also true, but it belongs to a very small number of people. Those people borrowed money and squandered it recklessly. We can't control this! But there are also many people who borrowed money to make farm tools. Most people can still pay back if they buy good seeds.”

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "You write another letter to Zhang Dun, asking him to tell the people below that whenever the common people come to borrow money, they must be warned not to squander recklessly, but to use the money wisely. After all, the money was lent to them, not given to them.”

Lu Huiqing nodded.

Wang Anshi said again: "Also, if the Green Crop Law is successful in East Jingdong Road, then next year the Green Crop Law and the Exemption Law will be implemented in the south of the Yangtze River. You ask the people below to prepare, and I will write another letter when the time comes. To Xue Shizheng."

Because the finances of the two places will not be released until next year, even if the two sides want to compare, they will have to wait until the accounts of the two places are sent to the capital next year before they can compete. It is also safe and sound.

However, both the officials in the capital city and the officials in the Hezhong Mansion are still very anxious.

Just like students waiting for the results of the college entrance examination.

Winter goes to spring, the ice and snow melt, and the snow drips from the eaves, making a ticking sound, as if urging people to go out.

After the night of the Yuan Dynasty, various government offices opened one after another, and officials gathered together, naturally chatting first and not doing anything, but this year everyone is talking about one topic, which is the tax department.

On the 15th of last month, the tax collection period has passed, and those who have not paid taxes are considered tax evasion, but after the 15th, everyone is on holiday, so it depends on this year.

The tax department did not disappoint. This early in the morning, I saw a team of heavily armed tax police escorting three large boxes, slowly heading southwest.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention.

People came to the street one after another, watched the convoy passing by, and then discussed again.

Imperial Court.

On the first day of work, the three little Vajras met at Big Dog's restaurant for breakfast, just after eating, Shangguan came outside, stood under the big tree stretching, and suddenly said: "Come and see? "

"What are you looking at?"

Brothers from the Cai family stepped forward and looked up. Cai Jing frowned and said, "It seems to be someone from the tax department."

Cai Bian said with a smile: "It seems that they are really suffocating, and they will come to sue on the first day the door opens."

Shangguan Jun hehe said: "This time there will be a good show."

The three of them were not surprised. Their purpose of staying here was to wait for this lawsuit, but they were very much looking forward to it.

After a while, the convoy came to the gate of the imperial court.

The three of them were just about to go over when they suddenly saw a figure flash past them.

"Chen Tax Envoy, you are here."

It is Qiu Zhengwen.

Chen Ming cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Qiu."

Qiu Zhengwen said: "Receiving people's money and eliminating disasters for others, this is what I should do."

"Zhiwen, are you taking over the tax department's lawsuit?" Cai Jing stepped forward and asked.

Qiu Zhengwen nodded shyly, and asked, "Is the imperial court open?"

The three of them looked at each other, Cai Jing nodded and said, "The door has been opened, what's the matter with you?"

Qiu Zhengwen escaped with a pleading paper and said: "On behalf of the tax department, I will sue the 132 people in the Hezhong government for tax evasion."

Cai Jing took it over, but smiled and said, "That's just a little bit!"

Qiu Zhengwen said: "I am just employed by others."

Cai Jing glanced at Chen Ming, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please come inside."
