The reason why the entire Jingdong East Road was able to return to peace so quickly was actually the Tax Department. On the one hand, they severely cracked down on the bandits in Qizhou. In order to truly fulfill Zhang Fei's bold words, even the grassroots bandits had to pay taxes.

On the other hand, we also use force to deter the big landowners and local dignitaries from the side. Even if you incite public resentment, I will still collect the money. Even if the Buddha comes, he will not be able to stop you.

When did Jingdong East Road gradually return to calm? It was not after the judgment of the Public Security Bureau, but after the government got rich. Because with money in hand, any problem can be solved.

The people had no livelihood, so they just spent money to build water conservancy projects and create an employment environment.

Look at Fan Chunren, Qian Yi and others, when they are not involved, they talk to Wang Anshi every day, but when they are in it, don't they talk about finance but not about interest?

Whether it is the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, or the New Deal, they essentially revolve around finance.

The world is prosperous, and everyone is going to benefit.

Of course, this was only temporary, but the dignitaries on Jingdong East Road were suppressed by the toughness of the Taxation Department. All of these guys wanted money rather than their lives, and their methods were despicable and shameless, which was different from other government agencies.

.

For the time being, they can only act low-key, but as long as there is an opportunity, they will fight back. This is a long-term game.

This year, Jingdong Road will also experience the ultimate baptism of the Taxation Department.

The last time the tax was exempted, it was just a small deal. It didn't actually cost much, but everyone thought that if you were asked to collect it, you would definitely make it worse.

That's the truth.

This year, Gyeonggi Province adopts a unified tax system, which is divided into six levels. The highest level will levy a total tax of 15%.

This is not surprising to the common people, but the problem is that this total tax is based on income, and this 15% is only targeted at the rich and powerful.

There are so many dignitaries in the capital. Zhao Xu is looking forward to this very much. Hezhong Prefecture has already created miracles. Gyeonggi must not break the myth!

However, on the first day that the Taxation Department started working, a piece of bad news came to Zhao Xu.

"Your Majesty, news just came from Li Bao. The Taxation Department found out that some big landowners secretly placed land under the name of Prince Chang."

A guard reported to Zhao Xu.

"Asshole!"

Zhao Xu immediately became angry and said: "Who asked them to investigate King Chang?"

There is a saying that if you find the royal family, the emperor will not treat you fairly and justly.

The guard hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Li Bao did not investigate King Chang. They found the landowners and then discovered that they had entrusted the land to King Chang's name."

Because this tax law reform is based on tax exemption, which includes all these officials and dignitaries. But Wang Anshi did not dare to include the royal family.

Zhao Xu thought for a moment, "Can I keep it a secret?"

The guard said: "Li Bao thinks this is not safe, because those who are inspecting the tax are all receiving bounties and are not Li Bao's confidants. He cannot guarantee that these people will not leak the news."

"This King Chang really almost ruined my life!"

Zhao Xu frowned and said: "In this case, you go tell Li Bao how much they found, and if it is true, they will pay a fine according to the amount. I will also ask King Chang to return the land immediately. I must ensure that this matter will not happen."

Leak it out."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

There is no way, the people in the tax department all live on bounties. They have been investigating for so long and finally found this huge fortune. If they find out that King Chang returns the land, they will definitely know that it is a tip from the higher ups.

I don't want to, so I still have to give the bounty and ask King Chang to return the land. Anyway, I just don't want to cause trouble in the imperial court.

You don't need to think about it to know that if King Chang sits on it, all the officials will punish King Chang to death. If your brother punishes us, we will punish you.

Zhao Xu immediately went to find Empress Dowager Cao. This kind of thing was too serious. No relatives of the royal family should mess around. If they were found out, they would just keep it to themselves.

It's impossible to give up money just for the sake of face.

...

Han Mansion.

"Ahem...!"

With the help of his old servant, Han Qi sat down and asked Han Zhongyan at the side: "I heard that Zhang San's wife has given birth?"

Han Zhongyan nodded and said, "I heard that Mrs. Zhang Xu and his concubine each gave birth to a baby boy yesterday. Should we send someone to congratulate them?"

Han Qi said: "Send someone to send a congratulatory gift."

"yes."

At this time, the housekeeper came to the door and said, "Master, two tax policemen came outside, saying they were here to deliver tax bills to our family."

Han Zhongyan said: "By the way, it seems that the Taxation Department will officially start tax collection starting today. The first thing is to issue tax bills, and tax payments will start in October."

Han Qi nodded and said to the old man: "Bring me the tax bill."

The old man said: "Yes, I will go and get it now."

"Didn't you take it just now?"

"Villain..."

"Go get it quickly."

Han Qi waved his hand and shook his head in annoyance, "People who are dozens of years old still make such mistakes."

Han Zhongyan said sarcastically: "It's no wonder he is."

Who is so ignorant that sending a tax bill to the Korean government will cost their life?

Of course, the housekeeper wanted to ask Han Qi's attitude first, and then see if he wanted the tax bill.

Soon, the housekeeper returned to the hall and handed a beautiful envelope to Han Zhongyan.

Han Zhongyan took the envelope and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "The tax forms from the Taxation Department are getting more and more exquisite, and they are all wrapped in envelopes."

Han Qi exclaimed: "The gold and silver jewelry inside are all here. It would be appropriate if they were made more exquisitely!"

"Dad is right."

Han Zhongyan handed the envelope to Han Qi again.

Han Qi waved his hand: "Take it apart."

Han Qi carefully opened the envelope, took out the tax bill, and exclaimed: "There are three of them?"

Han Qi asked: "Is that so much?"

"Daddy, please look."

Han Zhongyan hurriedly sent it.

Han Qi took it and looked at it from a distance. The various options on the top column made his scalp numb. "Does our family have such a variety of incomes?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Han Zhongyan also knows nothing.

Han Qi handed it to the old man, "Take a look."

The housekeeper took it and looked at it carefully, "It's almost... almost."

Han Qi asked: "Yes it is, no it is, what do you mean it's almost the same."

The old man said: "Our family does have this kind of income, but this is the first time I see such a detailed division, so I can't react at the moment."

Han Qi exclaimed: "This tax department really deserves its reputation!"

.....

Zeng Mansion.

"Who are you to tell me what the reward above is?"

Zeng Gongliang shook the tax bill and asked his son and the elder.

The housekeeper said: "I've asked about it, and it seems to be a reward from the official family."

"That's unreasonable!"

Zeng Gongliang slapped the tax bill on the table and said, "This tax department is really going too far. He won't even let go of official rewards."

Although he is fair and selfless, he also cherishes money as much as his life. He does not talk about corruption or bribery, but he values ​​his salary very much. If there is a penny less, he will ask for more information. If you ask him for more money,

It’s really life-threatening!

His eldest son Zeng Xiaozong said: "Father, why don't you explain this matter to the officials?"

Zeng Gongliang glanced at him, "Who is the immediate boss of the tax department?"

"...!"

Zeng Xiaozong suddenly realized that the boss of the tax department was the emperor.

The more Zeng Gongliang thought about it, the more distressed he became, "But I have to tell the officials. Isn't it just kindness from the emperor to give rewards to ministers, but there is also a tax in the middle. This... why is this necessary? Besides, this tax

You’ve already received enough, why don’t you let go of even this little reward?”

...

Qilou.

"Two tax policemen, move slowly."
