At this time, Bianjing is like a boiling boiler, which may explode at any time, which is very dangerous.
And the fuse is in Zhang Fei's hands.
It depends on when he starts calculating and collecting taxes.
At the same time, everyone also knows that this day will not last long, because the police station recruits people first and then collects taxes. According to the regulations of the recruitment law, this tax exemption is paid together with the summer and autumn taxes.
If the summer tax is missed, the police department's finances will inevitably collapse and it will be impossible to sustain it. You must know that the police department originally only had more than 500 people, but this time it will expand twenty times, unless the emperor takes action personally.
Therefore, the police department will definitely set the tax exemption before the summer tax.
And the time left for the police station is running out.
Fufu.
On this day when the imperial court is off, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo will come to Fu Mansion to assist him in practicing law. At the same time, Fu Bi will also give his students a day off. After all, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are prime ministers, and some words cannot be spoken casually in front of them.
Speaking to students.
But today they have no intention of thinking about it.
"This situation is very dangerous now!"
Fu Bi couldn't help but frown.
Wen Yanbo nodded: "If you want to set the exemption tax before the summer tax, there is not enough time, because you have to recalculate the household level. This is a very tedious task. In the end, you will either have to use the original tax
Households and other households must either rely on those officials, and something will inevitably happen in the meantime."
They are very familiar with this kind of routine, and Sima Guang reminded Wang Anshi more than once that you are too radical, and good things will turn into bad things.
Sima Guang said: "The only one worth looking forward to now is Zhang San. According to my understanding of him, if he is not sure, he will not act rashly."
"But Zhang San is just one person!" Fu Bi frowned and asked, "Who is in charge of the Taxation Department at the moment?"
The cards in Zhang Fei's hand are basically visible. The only thing that is unclear is the Taxation Department. Since its establishment, this government office has been purely a technical department. No one knows how much power the Taxation Department has.
Wen Yanbo said: "It's an official named Li He."
Fu Bi thought for a while and shook his head: "I have never heard of this person."
Sima Guang said: "It is said that Li He used to be an official in charge of warehouse cashier in Sanbu Gouyuan, and was later directly promoted to tax envoy."
Fu Bi asked: "A member of the official family?"
Sima Guang nodded: "It should be."
At this moment, a servant came over quickly and said, "Sir, this is the news newspaper that was just delivered."
Wen Yanbo asked: "The news from the genuine bookstore?"
"Yes."
Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Something must have happened.
Because during the previous period, Zhang Fei did not do any publicity at all, and public opinion was always controlled by the other party, which made them all very confused.
Now Zhang Fei finally takes action.
Fu Bi took it and took a look. He was surprised at first and said: "This article was issued by the Taxation Department."
He stared down again and looked down carefully. After a while, he exclaimed: "Declaration on your own?"
Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang said in unison: "Declaration independently?"
They don't seem to understand what it means.
Fu Bi looked up at him and said, "The Taxation Department stipulates that people must go to designated places to declare their wealth and income."
Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang were still confused.
Is this a joke?
You must know that in the past, he was an official. Li Zheng went to people's homes to check carefully to see how much land they had and how much property they had.
If you declare independently, who will tell the truth? In the end, every household will not be able to investigate.
Fu Bi handed the newspaper to Wen Yanbo. Sima Guang couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly got up and came behind Wen Yanbo and started reading together.
Fu Bi, on the other hand, was staring and thinking.
While watching, Wen Yanbo said: "So the Taxation Department wants to use spot checks to prevent tax evasion?"
Sima Guang said: "I think the key is not here, but that the Taxation Department will use the Public Procuratorate Law to collect taxes. This is very clear. The Taxation Department will then pursue prosecution through the Procuratorate to recover the taxes."
Fu Bi suddenly smiled and nodded: "That's it."
Sima Guang asked: "Why did the rich man say this?"
Fu Bi said: "Didn't I tell you before? Zhang San suggested using the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules as an excuse to give the people more tolerance in taxation. I understand this truth, but I have been thinking recently.
If you want to grant tolerance to the people, you first have to go to the government, but with the current taxation system, you generally won't go to the government.
And now this arrangement can incorporate this idea, because during the trial process, the imperial court can give a lenient or harsh judgment based on the specific object and specific matter."
Wen Yanbo said: "But if the people are allowed to declare it by themselves and use spot checks to recover the money, can the people declare it truthfully?"
"When it comes to ordinary people, it's hard to say. Some people may hide it." Fu Bi suddenly asked: "But what about the rich?"
Fu Bi asked himself and answered: "The previous taxation system often failed to collect taxes from the rich, but if this happens, the rich will not dare. If they are found out, then they will lose more than the gain."
Wen Yanbo nodded: "This article also mentioned that once convicted of tax evasion, the defendant will bear all the costs of prosecution, and will also have to pay a certain fine based on the amount of tax evaded. However, the specific amount of the fine has not been announced yet.
It really doesn’t benefit the rich.”
Sima Guang nodded: "The tax department will definitely pay more attention to the rich. If you prosecute the poor, the income may not be as much as the cost of prosecution."
Wen Yanbo asked again: "But does the tax department have such great ability?"
Sima Guang first looked at Fu Bi, and then said thoughtfully: "The Taxation Department only needs to verify, and prosecution is the power of the Procuratorate. Once the prosecution is prosecuted, the final judgment will be in the hands of the imperial court. In other words, the Taxation Department does not
They don’t need much power, they just need the means to inspect taxes.”
Fu Bi nodded and said: "Before, the procuratorate has been doing nothing, but this time they are very busy. It can even be said that once this matter is implemented, the public prosecutor's office will really start to operate."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, "But the best thing is that by doing this, he can avoid the previous officials' rule and prevent those methods from being used."
Wen Yanbo nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's right! If they do this, they will only need to send some bookkeepers to record the records. Those officials will not be able to interfere at all. Everything will be controlled by the tax department, and the people will no longer worry.
Your household status will be exceeded."
Sima Guang stroked his beard and said: "No wonder Zhang San ignored the propaganda this time. If this happens, the articles in the newspapers and periodicals before will become very ridiculous."
Wen Yanbo said: "But there are also loopholes in it. People who declare by themselves may not be able to think everything through. Many people do not know a single Chinese character and do not know arithmetic. If the report is wrong or omitted, wouldn't it give the tax department an opportunity to squeeze the people?"
Fu Bi pondered for a while: "The imperial court does not have to rule in favor of the procuratorate. This has to be heard, and the imperial court must make a judgment based on the law. The key is legislation. We can make up for these loopholes through the Legislative Council."
Wen Yanbo chuckled: "After a long journey, the key point is here. It seems that we are not in the wrong place today!"
The biggest difference between this law and the previous system is that power is decentralized and checked and balanced. In the past, the government had the final say, whether it was tax law or the judiciary. But now the tax department, the procuratorate, and the imperial court and other judicial departments interact with each other.
Not affiliated.
The tax department can only prosecute, and ultimately it is the judiciary that makes the decision. How the judiciary decides depends on legislation.
Wen Yanbo is very right. This is a huge loophole in self-declaration. Many people will not settle the score. If there is no legislation on this, many problems may arise.
Stop the Second Government Ordinance.
"Zhang San's move is really amazing!"
Lu Huiqing said excitedly: "If you declare it yourself, it will make the wealthy businessmen and landowners very uncomfortable. Their previous methods may not work. And you don't need to think about it, the tax department will definitely keep an eye on them. Only
Prosecuting them will result in huge fines.
In the past, the most worrying thing for the people was that the government would raise their household status. Now that they declare their own household status, they don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, they don't need to pay much money.
The most important thing is that this can avoid the entire official system, which is how the public prosecutors are used."
Their reform was to levy taxes on the rich, but the resistance was very strong. Wang Anshi could only think of all kinds of weird tricks, but they all failed like this. I will do it myself and will not give you profiteers a chance.
However, Zhang Fei, who declared it himself, has more ideas. The poor may dare to take a gamble. Anyway, I will die, but the rich must be very afraid. If this is found out, it will be fatal.
But as he said this, Lu Huiqing saw Wang Anshi sitting there, frowning and saying nothing, and couldn't help asking: "Does your teacher think it's inappropriate?"
"Of course it's inappropriate."
Wang Anshi said depressedly: "To do all this, we must have a complete public security law. Otherwise, doing this will only become a mess. At present, we can only do this in Kaifeng Mansion. I can't wait for Sima Junshi to go first."
To carry out judicial reform, after all, I don’t have two hundred years to live.”
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly: "That's true. The reason why Zhang San dared to do this is that Kaifeng Prefecture has the Taxation Department, the Procuratorate, the Imperial Court and the Royal Police, all of which are indispensable. There are also officials in charge of these offices.
They are also very crucial.”
Wang Anshi said angrily: "I originally planned to use the Royal Police to try to rectify the official system to see if it was feasible, but I never thought that this kid would avoid the entire official system instead of rectifying it, and relied heavily on the public prosecutor system at night. Kaifeng Mansion
It can be avoided, but how to avoid it in other places depends on how we learn."
Lu Huiqing said: "But I have to admit that his approach is very suitable for our New Deal. It can force the big landowners and even government households to pay taxes. I don't know if it will work well in the local area."
After hearing this, Wang Anshi became even more angry: "It's all my fault that little old man Sima Junshi, he doesn't know what he's doing because he's dawdling."
Imperial City.
"Zihua, I have told you a long time ago that although this boy's actions are deviant, unexpected and make people hate him, he will always solve the problem."
Lu Gongzhu smiled at Han Jiang and said.
Han Jiang hummed: "What to solve? He is throwing all the problems to Sinong Temple. After all, they are just calculating the household level. It is our Sinong Temple who really determines the tax. This money cannot be spared."
Mr. Lu said: "Let me tell you, Han Zihua, you usually understand everything at the drop of a button, but why can't you figure it out this time?"
Han Jiang asked: "I would like to hear some advice."
Lu Gong wrote: "If everyone reports truthfully, and you also pay taxes according to the law, how much money can you get if you divide it equally?"
Han Jiang's eyes lit up and she said: "Yes! If everyone does not dare to evade taxes and lie about their family wealth, then it will not increase the burden on the people."
Lu Gong wrote: "I'm even thinking that this summer tax and autumn tax will also be levied in this way."
Han Jiang glanced at him: "That will offend a lot of people."
Lu Gongzhu chuckled and said: "That's also the tax department's business, what does it have to do with me."
Han Jiang asked again: "Will the officials of your third division agree?"
The smile on Lu Gongzhu's face gradually faded, and he added: "But the summer and autumn taxes should also fall under the jurisdiction of the tax department. Let's first see how capable this tax department is."
