After all, this ginger is still spicier.

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."
