Wen Yanbo's seemingly inconspicuous proposal, but its impact cannot be underestimated.
At least this would give them, who are involved in political affairs, a reason to appease the officials below.
If the tax department takes away all the face and content, it may trigger a more violent counterattack.
Wen Yanbo's governing style can only be described in one word - stability.
Moreover, canceling the title of Royal Tax Police will also help the emperor maintain a neutral position.
Zhao Xu also adopted their suggestions and expressed respect for Zuo Ting's judgment on the grounds that it was inconvenient to interfere with the judiciary.
It didn't say it was supported.
At the same time, the Political Affairs Hall officially issued a decree, giving a clear distinction to all judicial upstarts.
In fact, superior officials in each department already have formal titles and powers.
The key is the expansion of the police department to 10,000 police officers.
Wang Anshi's previous strategy was to recruit them to the police station first, and then divide them out, and use these auxiliary police officers to go to various departments to perform official affairs. In this way, the officials can legitimately receive official salaries, and be professional and responsible.
change.
But how to divide them, Wang Anshi didn't say at that time.
Because he didn't know at the time that so many things would happen in such a short period of time.
Not to mention the common people, the tax police and court police themselves are not very clear about their relationship with the police station because they were all transferred from the auxiliary police and their identities are not clear.
This time Zhengshitang distinguished their relationship.
Police officers from each department are not affiliated with each other.
Once transferred from the police station to a different department, it will no longer be affiliated with the police station.
In this decree, the titles of police officers in each department are very clear: tax police, court police, prosecutors and royal police.
It was not explicitly stated, but it was not clearly stipulated at the time, but at a glance it was clear that only the police were given the title "Royal".
In other words, the Royal Tax Police does not exist.
This political signal is very obvious, combined with Zhao Xu's statement.
Simply put, I don't take sides.
Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others also used this matter to appease the officials below. People like Qin Biao are full of misdeeds and unreasonable. We can't speak for you, but we still prevent the tax police from calling them
The title of "royal" prevents them from doing whatever they want.
The officials below had nothing to say.
There are a lot of discussions about this verdict. Generally speaking, most ordinary people still support this verdict. Their doors are just like Zhihu's. If you want to use siege equipment, you will only lose money.
.
The key point is that they were very dissatisfied with the previous officials and they supported the tax police.
Of course the rich are against it.
However, this opposition is opposition, and some people are still scared.
Immediately, many people went to the office and said that they had accidentally omitted some income when they declared, and they were willing to make up for it. They hoped that the office could help them fight for it and avoid being punished.
"so much?"
Zhang Fei held the account book in his hand and looked at Fan Li in surprise.
Fan Li sighed: "Who would have known that the tax department was so capable that when it came to filing the tax return, it would be more or less underreported."
Zhang Fei said: "I'm not referring to the tax department, but these bastards who even hid it from us."
Most of these people are clients of the firm.
Fan Li immediately said: "That's your fault too. You said we couldn't help those who lied, so they had no choice but not to report it. But other bookstores are trying to find ways to hide it for their customers, so many big landowners have gone to Li's house.
."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "We are targeting different customers. They are helping people who evade taxes, and we are helping people who pay more taxes. If we also help those big landowners calculate taxes, there will be conflicts among these customers.
What will we do then?”
Fan Li nodded and said: "I understand this. In fact, we still earn more than them. After all, we have more customers, but...it's just that this matter is not easy to please. After all, the government still wants to collect more taxes.
If they help people hide taxes, they won't offend the government, but if we help people declare taxes truthfully, we will offend the government."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I didn't expect that a member of the Communist Party of China would understand so thoroughly."
Fan Li said: "I am doing this. How can I not be clear about it? The officials who used to collect taxes never looked down upon our people when they saw them."
"You can make a lot of money by doing what others can't do."
Zhang Fei handed the account in his hand back to Fan Li, "You sent Zheng Wen to talk to the Taxation Department and said that it was their first time to declare and there were some omissions. I hope the Taxation Department can treat it leniently. I think the problem is not big.
Even if there is a fine, it won't be too much, after all, they don't hide much."
Fan Li nodded and said, "I'll ask Zheng Wen to make a run after I figure it out later."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Are there many people in the Li family who pay taxes?"
Fan Lidao: "A lot of people have gone there recently, but as far as I know, they are not there to pay taxes."
Zhang Fei nodded: "As expected."
The people who come to the office are all small traders and small landowners. Although some people have reported truthfully, many people have also concealed some income. They declare their income according to the tax collection standards of Sinong Temple. If
If you have less than a dozen dollars of income and there is income that is difficult to investigate, you can be downgraded by one level, which of course means underreporting.
But now that the Tax Department has become famous in one battle, they are so scared that they have to rush over to fill in the gaps. After all, they don’t have any big backers behind them.
However, the big landowners hardly made any move.
Just as Fan Li went out with the account books, Fan Zheng walked in.
"Fan Da, why are you here?"
Zhang Fei looked at Fan Zheng who had just entered in surprise.
Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Third brother is so clever, you should be able to guess why I am here, right?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't guess."
"Unexpectedly, there are things that third brother cannot guess."
"There are too many."
Zhang Fei asked again: "What exactly is it?"
Fan Zhengdao: "It's about the charity foundation. Didn't we donate a sum of money to buy police uniforms for the auxiliary police?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Fan Zhengdao: "At that time, the tax police and the royal police were not separated, and we did not distinguish between them. But now many people say that they cannot donate a penny to the tax department."
"So that's what happened." Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "Everything must be done according to the rules. If no one is willing to donate, then don't donate."
Fan Zheng added: "At the same time, we also received some donations, totaling more than 8,000 dollars. They requested that all be donated to the Royal Police."
"What?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Fan Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Didn't Third Brother read yesterday's Fengyue Newspaper?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "That romantic newspaper is just a show of fame. It talks about the love affairs between talented people and geishas, but it doesn't talk about things in the boudoir, so I have no interest in reading it."
Fan Zheng asked curiously: "Can things in the boudoir also be reported?"
Zhang Fei blinked and asked, "Can't you?"
Fan Zhengdao: "Third brother should know more about legal matters than me, right?"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't know, I have no intention of doing this."
So you let Fu Shichun do it?
Fan Zheng laughed dryly and said: "The third brother is right. This brother Xiaochun's romantic newspaper often reports on things that happen in some restaurants. In the past two days, the yamen went to my Baifan Restaurant to drink. During this period, he had an affair with someone.
dispute.
The reason is that some people think that the Yameni is in cahoots with the tax police, but the Yameni says that the royal police have nothing to do with the tax police. They also say that it was the police department that brought the tax department to the imperial court. It’s just that you, third brother, are too powerful, so the lawsuit was not won.
.
Moreover, the Yameni would also say that the Royal Police would protect people’s property and not let the tax police do whatever they wanted. This controversy was eventually published in Fengyue Bao, and I think it was because of this that some people donated money to the police station.”
Zhang Fei blinked, "Is this a deliberate arrangement by the Yamen?"
"...?"
Fan Zheng hesitated a little and said: "How did the third brother find out?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Because I was the one who told him that the Royal Police can check and balance the tax police."
Suddenly I heard singing coming from outside, "Sorrow is fake, tears are real...!"
The voice is very arrogant!
It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, "This guy doesn't even miss my classic songs."
After a while, I saw Cao Dongdong humming a ditty he heard from Zhang Fei, and walked in proudly. As soon as he saw Fan Zheng, he immediately said: "Fan Da, you are indeed here."
He jumped forward in a few steps and said excitedly: "I heard that many people donated to our Royal Police, right?"
Fan Zheng nodded.
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "Bring the money quickly. It happens that our police station is very short of money."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei said: "Yameni, this idea came from me, but you actually benefited from the Fengyue Newspaper, but not from my Newspaper?"
Cao Dongdong was stunned and said hehe: "I was planning to find you before, but Brother Xiaochun said that it's not good for you to help the tax department with the lawsuit now. He gave me this idea again and asked me to go to Baifan Tower to perform.
Once the play was put on, the effect was great, and people immediately donated money to my police station. Fortunately, I didn't come to you at the beginning."
Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Recently, the sales of Fengyue Newspaper are indeed better than those of Celebrity Newspaper and Newspaper."
Zhang Fei snorted: "That's just because I have no time to be distracted now, otherwise, his Fengyue Newspaper would have closed down long ago."
"Is it?"
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei with a strange expression.
Zhang Fei said: "When I finish this work, I will tell Xiaochun who the hell is the overlord of the newspaper industry."
At this moment, a royal policeman walked in quickly. Seeing Cao Dongdong, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Deputy Superintendent."
Cao Dongdong saw that he had a strange look on his face and immediately stepped forward. The two communicated in low voices for a while. Cao Dongdong turned around and said, "I have something to deal with, so I'll take my leave first."
After that, he left in a hurry.
Zhang Fei and Fan Zheng looked at each other and realized that something might have happened.
Soon, they knew it.
It turns out that at dawn today, the Taxation Department once again attacked a large landowner named Liu in Xiangfu County. The situation was more serious than the first time. It is said that there was a fight between the two sides, and five people on the other side were injured. For the time being,
It's unknown if anyone died.
.......
Department of Taxation.
"Sanlang is here!"
"Li Xingshou?"
When Zhang Fei rushed to the Taxation Department, he happened to meet Li Guozhong and others, "Why are you here?"
Li Guozhong said: "I was hired by Mr. Liu to accompany him to surrender."
"Surrender?"
"Um!"
Li Guozhong said: "When the Taxation Department raided Liu's house, Liu came to the city and invited our bookstore to help him communicate with the Taxation Department, re-declare his finances, and pay back taxes. Who would have known that this kind of thing would happen."
Zhang Fei smiled half-heartedly and said, "What a coincidence."
Li Guozhong said hurriedly: "This can't be said to be a coincidence. The previous lawsuit against Saburo really frightened many people. Recently, many people have come to your firm and want to pay back their taxes."
Zhang Fei said nothing.
Li Guozhong glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Sanlang, it's not an option for the tax department to keep going like this. The master of the house is not here, and the servants don't dare to let the tax police into the hospital easily. They said they would inform the master of the house. This is understandable, and
However, the tax police broke in directly, injured five servants of the Liu family, and arrested 24 people. This...is this a bit too much?"
When Zhang Fei was about to answer, Li He suddenly came over, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Sanlang."
"Siwu Li!"
Zhang Fei bowed his hand in return and said to Li Guozhong: "Excuse me for now."
After entering the house with Li He, Zhang Fei asked: "Siwu Li, what is going on?"
Li He said: "The thing is like this. A few days ago, we randomly checked and found that Liu Ping had concealed fifty hectares of land in Xiangfu County, so we decided to raid Liu's house at dawn. Since Liu Ping had a good reputation in the village, he was not as famous as Liu Ping.
Qin Biao was so domineering before, so this time we did not break down the door directly, but explained our purpose to the servants of the Liu family.
However, we encountered provocation and obstruction from the other party's servants, and some even attacked our tax policemen with stones from behind, so we used force to break in. They resisted for a time, and we shot two of them and injured three others.
, and captured and brought back all the servants.
But when they came to the Taxation Department, the servants said that they had informed the tax policeman that Liu Ping was not at home, and they did not dare to make the decision without permission. They let the tax policeman in, saying that they would notify Liu Ping first, and then the tax policeman broke in directly.
And they beat them."
Zhang Fei asked: "Are there any witnesses?"
Li He said: "Our tax police did not find anyone around at that time."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked: "Is there any evidence about Liu Ping's tax evasion?"
Li He said: "The evidence is conclusive."
Just then, a tax policeman came into the room and whispered in Li He's ear.
"I see."
Li He nodded and said to Zhang Fei: "Just now Liu Ping said that he came to the city this time just to pay back taxes."
"Li Xingshou just told me."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "What do Li Siwu think?"
Li He said: "This matter is not my business, and it doesn't matter what I think."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Siwu Li is really a person. Okay, you guys can do everything as usual and leave the rest to me. Oh, tell those tax policemen that as long as they enforce the law impartially, there is no need to worry about this."
When I got out of the house, I met Su Che who had just arrived.
"Wow... did your prosecutor's office come so quickly?"
"Not as fast as you." Su Zhe said.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "To make money, you have to be one step ahead."
