In recent months, Chen Lifu, who resigned as director of the Inspection Division and was transferred to the Finance Department, also used his past connections to help seven or eight old subordinates who were still loyal to him arrange their way out. Most of them were transferred to
He served as a local tax official, usually the head of the tax bureau of a county, state, or government. There were also several people he moved to the Finance Department to help him.
They have successfully jumped out of the inspection office. The inspection office without Chen Lifu is not a good place for them. If they don't jump out in time, they still don't know where they will be assigned to in the future. It is better to choose one now.
transferred to the place.
The superiors generally would not stop this kind of thing. After all, it was the political norm of the Inspection Division. The new director of the Inspection Division wished that Chen Lifu would arrange for everyone to leave, which would save him some effort.
There is one emperor and one courtier, and in the inspection office there is also one director and one inspector.
Yang Taiping, if nothing unexpected happens, will also be kicked out of the inspection office in a few months. Without Chen Lifu's help, there is a great possibility that he will be randomly assigned to other departments of the tax department by his superiors. It is also possible that
He could be directly transferred to a certain county to serve as the director of the tax bureau, or he might be transferred to some ghost place to hold a casual position. As for whether it would be good or not, it's hard to say.
But as long as Chen Lifu is willing to help him with a few activities, he can get a better position, such as serving as the director of a certain state's tax bureau.
Chen Lifu also knew very well that this should be the reason why Yang Taiping still treated him respectfully!
Chen Lifu likes such sensible people!
At this time, Yang Taiping felt a little helpless! Didn't he know that Qian Zuoli, the Minister of Taxation, had been unhappy with Chen Lifu in recent months and continued to move closer to Chen Lifu. From now on, it would be difficult for him to survive in the Taxation Department.
But he, Yang Taiping, was promoted by Chen Lifu and was a true direct descendant. The entire inspection office and even the entire grain collection department knew about this.
After he was admitted to the top three doctoral programs, he was assigned to the inspection office for the first time. He worked in the inspection office for three years, always working under Chen Lifu, and then he was gradually promoted to the sixth grade of taxation.
Inspection, it is not easy for him to get rid of the imprint of Chen Lifu's faction.
If Chen Lifu continues to be in the Inspection Department, he may be promoted to one of the deputy directors of the Inspection Department from the fifth rank in the future. But now that Chen Lifu has been transferred, he naturally has no hope of continuing to be promoted in the Inspection Department.
, there is no way for him to advance even in the tax department.
If the case of Zhou Lide had not happened temporarily in Songjiang Prefecture and the superiors were in urgent need of manpower to inspect the area, he would have been kicked out by now and thrown to a remote place to work as a county tax collector.
However, after completing the inspection in Songjiang Mansion, he will probably be transferred out of the inspection office like many of his colleagues.
He will definitely be transferred if he is transferred. What he is concerned about now is where he will be transferred in the future. He can't stay in the Inspection Office, and he probably won't be able to stay in the Grain Collection Department. It's probably not possible for other departments in the Tax Department.
, as for cross-department transfers to other departments of the central government, such as the Ministry of Personnel, the possibility is even smaller.
Over the years, the Ministry of Taxation has had only a handful of officials transferred across departments. The only large-scale transfer was probably the establishment of the Ministry of Finance. A large number of officials from the Ministry of Taxation directly became officials of the Ministry of Finance. However, this kind of transfer is a specific one.
It is not replicable. Ordinary tax department officials usually take the internal promotion route. It is still very difficult to be transferred to other departments.
After all, not everyone is like Chen Lifu, who got a name from the Holy Emperor and was immediately transferred to Xingquan Prefecture as the prefect just to give him more courage.
For ordinary tax officials like Yang Taiping, cross-department transfers are extremely difficult.
Therefore, the most likely possibility for Yang Taiping is to be transferred to a local tax official.
But there are many types of transfers to local tax officials. You may be transferred to a certain county or state as the director of the tax bureau, you may be transferred to a certain government as the deputy director, or you may be transferred to a certain county.
Work in agencies under the Provincial Taxation Department.
In the Tang Dynasty, more emphasis was placed on the experience of top leaders. If you were transferred to the Provincial Taxation Department, you might not even be able to get a job as a director. If you are lucky, you would at most be a deputy director. The Provincial Taxation Department
The deputy director is not a good position for these tax inspectors who are accustomed to power. At that time, they will really have no choice but to wait for death.
Although Chen Lifu no longer works in the tax department, his influence in the inspection office is still very large. In this regard, it can bring some benefits to him Yang Taiping. People may not give him Yang Taiping face, but they will give Chen Lifu some face.
.
After all, Chen Lifu's promotion pace is so fast now. It has only been a few months and he has already rotated through several positions.
Even though Chen Lifu was appointed as the magistrate of Xingquan Prefecture and did not even take up the post, nor did he think that he only worked in the Finance Department for a few months, nor did he look at the fact that he has now moved to Songjiang Prefecture as a co-prefect, but such a transfer
It was not normal.
It is common practice for ordinary officials to be transferred within three years. Even officials trained by the Ministry of Civil Affairs have to work in a certain position for one or two years before being transferred. Moreover, transfers generally do not involve such an unreasonable move across the tax department, finance department, etc.
department, place.
Anyone with such a resume is basically an official under key training. Frequent transfers are actually to allow them to accumulate more work experience and develop comprehensive qualities.
Most of these people are in the emperor's heart, and will be reused in the future unless something unexpected happens.
Many people know that Chen Lifu will definitely continue to rise in the future. This Songjiang Prefecture magistrate is just an inconspicuous gilding experience in his official career. Many people even do not think that Chen Lifu will serve in the local government for too long.
It is not certain that he will be transferred back to Gyeonggi in a few months.
To put it bluntly, many people, even Chen Lifu himself, believed that his superiors only asked him to come to Songjiang Mansion to get gold.
It is very likely that Chen Lifu will become a minister in the future, and it is even impossible to become a minister. When the time comes, these old subordinates will be his natural direct descendants, and the important members of his Chen Lifu faction.
composition.
In the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, factions existed, and they did not need to be deliberately managed by officials. They would appear spontaneously. This would not be eliminated just because the Holy Emperor prohibited forming parties for personal gain. At most, it would just not be made public!
For Chen Lifu's old subordinates like Yang Taiping and others, Chen Lifu is a natural thigh. Even if Chen Lifu no longer works in the tax department, they still need to be hugged tightly.
Because Chen Lifu, who is not working in the tax department, still has the ability to influence the career of people like Yang Taiping!
This is the most important reason why today Yang Taiping still maintains great respect for Chen Lifu and considers himself a subordinate!
After confirming the attitudes of both parties, the two people began to talk about business. However, due to their status, it was impossible for Chen Lifu to directly ask Yang Taiping to do something.
Even though Yang Taiping was his former subordinate, he still maintains great respect for him now.
Because Chen Lifu is no longer the director of the Inspection Division, he has no authority to order Yang Taiping to do anything, and he cannot even discuss tax issues with Yang Taiping seriously.
So the method he adopted was relatively simple. He directly told Yang Taiping about the behavior of the managers at the Shanghai Terminal, and gave Yang Taiping a lot of information from the patrol economic crimes section investigation, and then let Yang Taiping handle it on his own.
.
Yang Taiping was also an experienced tax inspector, so naturally he would not say anything on the spot. Instead, he accepted the file and continued to reminisce with Chen Lifu.
After Chen Lifu chatted with him for half an hour, he left. At this time, Yang Taiping had time to look through the information in his hand.
After a brief look, he called in one of his subordinates. This subordinate was an investigator from the tax inspection team, and he was not an investigator from the Songjiang Prefecture Tax Inspection Team. He was a temporary investigator from Zhenjiang Prefecture.
Seconded here.
Seconding relevant tax inspection team personnel from other places is also a common method for tax inspections, in order to prevent the local tax inspection team from being corroded.
Yang Taiping did not come alone to inspect the taxation of Songjiang Prefecture. He also brought more than a hundred members of the tax inspection team temporarily transferred from Zhenjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. There were investigation officers among them, and there was also no shortage of action officers.
One investigates the case and the other arrests the person. They are well matched.
This kind of secondment of tax inspection teams to handle cases across regions is very common in the entire tax system and has become a routine method.
It's not possible without secondment. When Yang Taiping came to Songjiang Mansion, he arrested almost forty-five people, half of whom were from within the tax system, including many members of the tax inspection team.
When inspecting local areas, the first thing tax inspectors usually do is not to collect taxes, but to rectify the local tax system. This habit was left behind by Chen Lifu back then, and it is still the case today.
After calling his subordinates in, he directly handed the information to the tax investigator and asked him to hand over other cases at hand to other investigators, and first handle the Shanghai Terminal Company case.
This tax investigator named Fang Pingsu is also an old tax investigator. Although he is not from an imperial examination, but from an accounting office, it is precisely because of his accounting background that he is naturally sensitive to various accounting affairs.
After briefly looking through the information on hand, I immediately became interested!
Although there is no evidence of tax evasion or the like, it is just a basic investigation of Shen Xing, the project manager of the third phase terminal project of Shanghai Terminal Company. It contains basic property investigation and tax records of this person and his relatives and friends!
He didn't even bother to look at the personal information of Shen Xing, the manager of this project. He directly looked at the basic property and tax investigation of this person's relatives and friends!
Among them, the records of Shen Xing’s cousin Shen Yang attracted his attention even more!
