Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy Five: Reporting Taxes
The matter of life and death was treated lightly by the tax collector, as if he was telling Zhu Zhen that what he ate in the morning was rice.
Zhu Zhen was breathing heavily, as if his lungs were about to explode. He stared at the tax collector and asked sternly, "Who do you think you are? You dare to negotiate terms with me."
The taxman was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to reply.
At this time, Ye Fu suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this bastard is just a rough man. Your Majesty, don't be the same as him."
"My king has ordinary knowledge? Your people killed my guards at the gate of my palace, and you still say that I have ordinary knowledge?" Zhu Zhen turned his head and stared at Ye Fu and said angrily.
When Ye Fu saw Zhu Zhen clinging to his teeth, he also started breaking jars and throwing them. He spread his hands and said, "Then what does the prince want to do? If the prince thinks that he is not enough, he can also include me."
Ah. I used to be a general, and I also use thirty bullets, and the prince also sends thirty generals. How about our life and death?"
Zhu Zhen originally thought that Ye Fu wanted to give in. After all, he was responsible for the matter. But he never expected that Ye Fu would choose such a fierce way to confront him head-on. Does Zhu Zhen have thirty generals? Chu
The palace has three guards and horses, so of course there are so many generals.
But if he really made a bet with Ye Fu, then once Ye Fu really killed thirty of his generals, then his three guards would be useless.
Therefore, Zhu Zhen would never bet with Ye Fu under any circumstances.
Zhu Zhen knew the power of the revolver. Although it was almost impossible for Ye Fu to kill thirty people in a row with the revolver. But he was not willing to exchange the life of a general for Ye Fu's life!
What's more, this is obviously an act of asking his generals to die, but it will greatly damage his prestige in the army. Zhu Zhen is a person who has led soldiers, and he knows what will happen if he leads an army without prestige.
.
Although he wanted to cut the corpses of Ye Fu and others into pieces, Zhu Zhen had to endure it.
He sneered and said, "Okay, you are worthy of being the soldier brought out by Han Du. You are indeed arrogant. I hope you can continue to be arrogant!"
Seeing that Zhu Zhen had no intention of falling out, Ye Fu was relieved in his heart. He had to stand up forcefully just now, otherwise the tax ding would definitely be dead today. Although the tax ding was a bit reckless in killing people, he could not just sit back and watch the tax ding.
He was killed by the Chu Palace.
It turns out that the Prince of Chu's Mansion refused to pay taxes and has been delaying it until now. If the tax collector was killed by the Prince of Chu's Mansion, the tax collector would be disgraced, and the Prince of Chu's Mansion would not pay the taxes.
Once the Chu Palace does not pay taxes, then the Taxation Department will probably become useless sooner or later. The Taxation Department will not be able to collect taxes.
When the Ministry of Household Affairs investigated him, Ye Fu also met a dead end.
Since they are all dead, then he doesn't want to give it a try and then die. Maybe after a quick fight, he doesn't have to die anymore, just like he does now.
Seeing King Chu taking the initiative to take a step back, Ye Fu said with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, Xiaguan is a mud-legged boy. When he was a child, he followed the old cow's butt to pick up earthworms. Xiaguan's life is worthless. Your Majesty is the Emperor.
Why should you, a noble man with a body of a thousand pieces of gold, have the same experience as a person like this?"
Zhu Zhen's body suddenly trembled, and his eyes when looking at Ye Fu had changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, good job. He is indeed a man who came back alive from the Mongolian barbarians. I will ask Han Du for advice if I have the opportunity."
Seeing that Zhu Zhen no longer pursued the matter, Ye Fu bowed his hands and said, "I can't bear the praise of the prince. I can come back alive from the grassland only because of the wisdom of the prince."
After saying that, he no longer cared about the palace guard lying dead on the ground and waved his hand towards the tax collector.
"Let's go!"
Just as he turned around, Ye Fu stopped again, looked back at Zhu Zhen, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you'd better send someone to pay the tax tomorrow, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the court."
Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and said seriously, "The king will send someone to the Taxation Department tomorrow!"
Ye Fu smiled and cupped his hands and replied, "Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Ye Fu took the taxman and boarded the carriage. He didn't even say goodbye to Zhu Zhen and left directly.
Zhu Zhen watched the carriage leave with eyes full of anger.
How could Eunuch Liu have been so angry since he became the general manager of Prince Chu's Mansion? He subconsciously used his usual method of complaining in front of Zhu Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, this is too lawless. How dare you?
They killed people at the gate of the palace, and they also killed the prince’s people. The prince must not let them go, he must let them die!”
The reason why Eunuch Liu hates Ye Fu and others so much is because he scared him so much just now. He has seen this madman who kills people just because he disagrees with him. He almost wet his pants in fear just now. After he recovered, he suddenly
He felt that the taxman had embarrassed him.
Zhu Zhenzheng was still angry and had not vented his anger. Now when he heard Eunuch Liu's words, he suddenly turned around and slapped him with a big ear-scratcher.
"Snapped!"
The sound was so loud that the guards standing nearby couldn't help but tremble.
Eunuch Liu was beaten and spun around three times before he fell to the ground, spitting out a bloody tooth. He covered his face and looked at Zhu Zhen pitifully, "Your Majesty, slave."
Zhu Zhen immediately pointed at him and cursed, "If I don't have anything, I ask you to do something. Can you see what I can do for you?"
After scolding, Zhu Zhen suddenly waved his sleeves and robe and returned home angrily.
Eunuch Liu can no longer think about how to take revenge on Ye Fu and the tax collector. Now that he is disliked by the prince, he must quickly eliminate the prince's prejudice against him. Otherwise, once he is disliked by the prince, he will lose his position as the general manager.
Then let alone how to retaliate against the people in the tax collection department, even he himself could not save himself when crossing the river. The people he had offended and oppressed in his daily life wanted to rush up and tear him alive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Eunuch Liu ignored the severe pain on his face and hurriedly rolled and crawled after Zhu Zhen.
Fengtian Temple.
Han Du stood in the middle, holding a memorial in his hand. He bowed his head and reported respectfully to Zhu Biao, "The Taxation Department collected more than 13.67 million guan in taxes, which is less than 6 million guan last year."
, more than doubled. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Biao had a smile on his face. The tax had increased by almost 8 million yuan, although most of it was due to the land released by Qingzhang. Even if calculated based on the number of acres of land released by Qingzhang, the tax collected by the taxation department was even more than
It was a little lower last year, but this made Zhu Biao even more satisfied.
Zhu Biao is not a fool. He thinks that the more taxes, the better. The more taxes are collected, unless the land is increased, it will be taking away the people's wealth and support. Zhu Biao does not bother to do such a thing, and will not agree with others.
To do it.
"Okay, bring it up!"
Zhu Biao happily raised his hand to signal.
Wang Yue stepped down from the throne and placed Han Du's memorial in front of the emperor.
Zhu Biao opened it and looked through it, and saw that there was not much nonsense in the memorial. Instead, there were groups of data. First, starting with the chief envoys, then the various prefectures, and even counties, each
A chief envoy, each prefecture, and each county has a tax figure, which is collected from bottom to top to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The ins and outs of taxation are clear, and you can even check which county paid how much tax.
Zhu Biao saw such a memorial for the first time, and his eyes couldn't help but shine. He glanced at Han Du in surprise, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Zhu Biao really liked this clear way of presenting data.
. It is not difficult to see from his experience, so
Detailed data can prevent superior officials from withholding, deducting, and committing fraud.
If the number between prefectures and counties does not match, then the problem must occur in the prefecture. If the number between the prefecture and the Chief Envoy does not match, then the problem must lie between the Chief Envoy, the Chief Envoy and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
If the number of rooms does not match, then the problem must lie with the household department.
Such a level-by-level tracing is not only clear, but also convenient and fast!
Officials are not fools. When they see the Ministry of Revenue adopting such a data recording method, they know not to do anything, as they will definitely be caught!
Zhu Biao quickly calculated the numbers and found no discrepancies. Thinking about it, he knew that if the numbers didn't match, Han Du would have started checking people long ago.
, and will not be presented to me.
Zhu Biao folded the memorial with satisfaction and put it on the imperial desk. He smiled and said to all the ministers, "My dear friends, taxation is the foundation of the country. Although the more taxation, the more beneficial it is to the court, I don't want to be blamed for too much."
Collect taxes and make the people of the world miserable."
"My Holy Emperor!"
All the ministers shouted in unison.
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du and asked, "Han Du, are there any people who are dissatisfied with this tax?"
Han Du's face straightened, his body stood erect, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao, and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, this taxation has been transferred from the county government office to the taxation department; and the original tax collection in kind has been changed to tax collection.
Bao Chao. Judging from the responses from various taxation departments, there are many people who are not accustomed to changes, but there are not many people who are satisfied with collection. This is the book of the people submitted from each taxation department. Please read it to the emperor.
!」
Since Han Du was educated with the Book of All Nations last time, he suddenly discovered that this Book of All Nations is really a good thing. As long as he has it, no matter what he says or does, he can be regarded as being in the world.
Please help the people!
Asking for orders for the people is the highest moral benchmark for officials. With this thing, they can do whatever they want. But other officials, such as Qi Tai and others, can only watch and have nothing to do with themselves.
Han Du took out a thick stack of Wanmin books from his arms and handed it to Wang Yue.
Taking advantage of Zhu Biao's inspection, Han Du explained, "In the Book of Wanmin, people generally reported that after the physical objects were changed into treasure notes, there would be no more money and various car taxes, boat taxes, foot and tooth taxes, etc. They
The actual taxes paid are much less than in the past. Moreover, because the treasure banknotes are easy to carry, there is no need to collect labor from the people to transport food, and the people are very supportive of the current tax system of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
