With Emperor Hongzhi's imperial edict, Liu Jin would be able to do things easily.
In fact, Liu Jin had already prepared to set up tax agents. This time, the Ministry of Household Affairs not only recruited a lot of tax officials, but also a large number of officials.
These officials Liu Jin have been entrusting the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy to conduct training. Starting from October last year, they have been training for more than two months now, which is enough.
Tax agents are not used for fighting, but for collecting taxes, so they only need a little training to master the use of some weapons and equipment, and at the same time have discipline.
In addition, learning the tax collection methods and methods of later generations of bald eagle tax police will be enough to cope with the work of tax police.
Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Hongzhi and an order from Liu Jin, the first batch of Ming tax agents in Tianjin also quickly rushed to the tax yamen in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, preparing to start violent tax collection.
Tianjin Taxation Bureau is here.
Ren Wenjia, who was bandaged, looked at the more than 100 tax agents under him who came to report. They were all standing neatly, wearing armor, with Tang knives hanging on their waists, and muskets on their backs.
Coupled with the fact that he is wearing a uniform black uniform and a uniform tax agent hat, he has an extremely tough aura coming towards him, as if he has always been a tiger and wolf warrior.
"Seizure Zhang's Shipyard~"
Ren Wenjia waved his hand and took the lead again towards Zhang's Shipyard.
He had already received a letter from Liu Jin, asking him to be free and bold, and not to be afraid. If something happened, he would bear it.
At the same time, a few days ago, Emperor Hongzhi also sent people to arrest all those who beat the imperial officials to death last time, and they have chopped off dozens of heads in the past few days.
As for Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo, they were recalled to the capital by an edict from Emperor Hongzhi. It is said that they are still locked up in the palace to think about their mistakes. Even Queen Zhang begged for mercy in vain.
"Da~da~"
The tax agent wearing whale leather shoes followed Ren Wenjia as he walked on the streets of Tianjin. His steps were very neat and he made a very rhythmic sound on the cement road, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire Tianjin people.
"Is this what the newspapers call a tax buster?"
"This is not a police officer. This weapon and equipment can be compared with the army~"
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't that right~"
"Haven't you heard?"
"They are all from the Royal Military Academy who are responsible for helping with training. Look at the momentum. Although there are only a hundred people, they are like thousands of troops."
"Tsk, tsk, now we have a good show. Those who don't pay taxes will suffer."
"Isn't that right? Dozens of people were beheaded a few days ago. They were all slaves of the emperor's brother-in-law's family. Those slaves are usually arrogant and arrogant. Each and every one of them had their heads chopped off. It's really satisfying~"
"Keep your voice down~ If someone hears you, you will be rewarded in the future."
"That's what I'm saying~"
There were too many people in Tianjin with nothing to do. Many people followed the tax policemen and soon arrived at Zhang's Shipyard.
"Block it~"
Ren Wenjia looked at the door of Zhang's Shipyard. The blood stains here were not yet dry. Thinking of his dead colleagues, he couldn't help but give orders loudly.
"Yes~"
Tax agents, tax officials, and tax officials are different. Their work style can be described as "hard"!
Although hundreds of people at the Zhang Shipyard were arrested and dozens killed not long ago, the Zhang brothers were also recalled to the capital.
However, the people at Zhang's Shipyard were still very tough. Seeing that these people from the tax office still dared to come, hundreds of people immediately poured out and blocked the door.
This time, they did not dare to take the initiative. After all, dozens of people who took action last time were killed, and the rest were said to be exiled to the Liaodong area.
So although he was tough, he didn't dare to take action and could only block the door of the factory.
"Get ready~"
The tax agents were too lazy to talk nonsense to you. With an order, more than a hundred tax agents lined up in three rows and pointed their muskets directly at the people blocking the door.
"I only give you three warnings~"
"If you've been warned three times, you still won't cooperate with our work~"
"Then don't blame us if you die~"
Ren Wenjia said in a cold voice.
"First warning~"
"Get out of the way~"
Following Ren Wenjia's roar, more than a hundred tax agents also shouted in unison.
"Get out of the way~"
The sound was neat and unified, like a loud bell, and the more than a hundred people blocking the door couldn't help but be shocked. Looking at the muskets aimed at each other, some people couldn't help but tremble.
"Second warning~"
Seeing that they still refused to get out of the way, Ren Wenjia shouted coldly again.
"Get out of the way~"
The tax agents roared again, and dozens of the hundreds of people blocking the door suddenly dispersed. The remaining dozens of people also looked at the leader tremblingly.
This man's name is Zhang Qiming, an uncle of the Zhang brothers' family, and is responsible for the management of Zhang's shipyard.
"The third warning~"
Ren Wenjia shouted coldly again.
"Get out of the way~"
The tax agents roared again, and at the same time, each of them opened the safety cover of their muskets, ready to attack at any time.
"Spread out~"
Zhang Qiming's face was extremely ugly. He looked at the spears pointed at him, sweating on his forehead, and said helplessly.
Immediately, the people under his hands dispersed quickly, and everyone was scared to death.
"Catch him~"
Ren Wenjia smiled, and with an order, two tax agents grabbed Zhang Qiming and tied him up. Then more than a hundred tax agents rushed into Zhang's shipyard and drove out all the workers working there.
The entire factory was sealed off.
After inspecting Zhang's Shipyard, the tax agents did not stop at all and began to arrest people everywhere in Tianjin, sealing up factories, shops, workshops everywhere, detaining ships that evaded taxes, sealing up businesses that did not pay taxes, etc.
In just one day, Tianjin Youshichu Gambling House was sealed, and the owners and proprietors of the gambling house were all locked up in the jails of the tax yamen.
Almost all the brothels in Tianjin were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the madams and the bosses behind them were all imprisoned in the tax yamen.
In addition, hundreds of anti-tax ships were also impounded in Tianjin Port and locked in the port with large iron chains. The captains, crew members, and the owners behind them were also arrested.
The whole Tianjin was in a state of uproar.
The gambling houses are all run by local gangsters in Tianjin, and many of them belong to the big gangs in Tianjin. But when you encounter tax agents, they don't care which gang you belong to, and they will arrest you immediately if you don't pay taxes.
During this process, some gang members even wanted to resist violently, but ended up hitting the edge of a knife. The tax agents who are armed to the teeth will not care about you that much.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, everyone was dead immediately, and the gang boss was killed directly, which eliminated some harm to Tianjin.
As for those who run brothels and brothels, some old madams still want to act like rogues, taking advantage of the fact that they are women and causing mischief.
However, this was of no use. The tax agent didn't care whether you were a woman or not. He smashed the butt of his gun down, making you dizzy and bleeding. You were immediately dizzy and arrested like a chicken.
Li Menglin, who was hiding in his high-walled compound, had his entire mansion almost blown to rubble by tax agents using explosives. In the end, he was so embarrassed that he even scared the pants off him. He said on the spot that his property would be handed over immediately.
Taxes are a penny.
The whole of Tianjin is filled with tax agents.
Each and every one of the powerful and prestigious figures was captured by the tax policemen like an eagle catching a chicken and put into the cells of the tax yamen.
Because so many people were arrested at once, there were not enough cells. In the end, the cells borrowed from the Tianjin government office were not enough, so we had to keep cramming people into one cell.
The feeling inside the cell is naturally unpleasant, as it is not a place for human beings at all.
When the tax agents catch someone, they don't talk nonsense to you or ask you any questions. They just throw the person into jail without asking any questions, and they don't even give you food.
Within a few hours, countless people immediately became obedient and obediently said to pay taxes immediately, and immediately ordered their servants to bring boxes of silver coins to the tax yamen to declare taxes.
After paying the tax, I came out of the house feeling unlucky and helpless.
These tax agents are so ruthless and won't even talk nonsense to you.
We all have the kind of talent that when encountering soldiers, we can’t explain why, let alone they don’t understand.
There is no other way, just pay taxes honestly.
They are not even afraid of ruthless people like the Zhang brothers, let alone people like them. Even if there are many people behind them who are high-ranking officials of the imperial court, even if they are royal nobles, relatives of the emperor, what can they do?
Didn’t you see that the emperor and the prince’s properties all paid taxes on time?
I haven't seen the top wealthy nobles such as the British Duke, Cheng Guogong, and Ding Guogong declare their taxes as soon as possible. It is better for everyone to pay taxes honestly.
In the past, I always thought about tax evasion, tax evasion, and resisting tax payments, but I'm afraid that's no longer possible.
These tax yamen officials, officials, and tax agents don't have to do anything. The only thing they do is collect taxes. They have plenty of time to play with you.
The tax official will first send you a notice asking you to declare taxes on your own. If you don't pay, the tax official will come out and give you a good talk. If you still don't pay, the tax police will come directly to arrest you.
When the time comes and you are taken into the tax yamen, you are starved there for two days, and bitten by various small animals for two more days, you will understand that it is better to pay taxes honestly. The tax police are too rigid. What are they doing?
