Chapter 449 This is simply destroying the bribery market!
In view of the fact that the scale of the tax inspection team is getting larger and larger, and their role is becoming more and more important, you must know that the current military ration supply of the Tang Dynasty is supported by the tax department, and the tax department collects taxes.
The taxation of ordinary farmers and small businessmen is relatively smooth, but the taxation of big businessmen and landowners has never been so smooth, especially in some newly occupied areas, where large landowners and businessmen conceal their income and evade taxes.
This is universal, and armed resistance to taxation is not uncommon.
At this time, the tax inspection team comes in handy. If the tax inspection team does not have enough manpower, it will ask the local anti-theft camp for assistance, and in the end it will often be successful!
The tax inspection team is so important, so Li Xuan naturally needs to pay attention to it. He has specifically ordered the tax inspection team under the Grain Collection Department to continue to expand in size and set up according to regions. Initially, each county will set up a team with exactly
The number of employees ranges from dozens to more than a hundred, and they are directly under the dual leadership of the provincial tax officer and superior tax officials.
In view of the fact that some counties have large populations or relatively developed commerce, the size of the tax inspection team can be increased to hundreds of people.
However, local tax inspection teams were only established directly at the county level. They were not established at the government or smaller towns or village levels, because the tax inspection teams of the Tang Dynasty mainly targeted local landlords and
For big businessmen, a few tax inspection teams at the town and village levels are not effective. Even if they are set up at the government level, it is difficult to understand the detailed conditions of the counties below. Therefore, the activities of the tax inspection teams are mainly concentrated at the county level, government level and even higher levels.
Most tax collection work at or above the provincial level is coordinated.
The main job of these tax inspection teams is to assist tax officials in carrying out tax collection work and combat tax evasion and evasion.
Because most of the members of the tax inspection team are young gangsters from the local area, they are more familiar with the local situation than the foreign tax officials of Datang. They can identify who has money and who does not.
If you encounter a company that refuses to pay taxes, you can immediately go to the door with your troops and use a familiar saying, and then use the classic saying of the tax inspection team: "Fellow, open the door!"
Nowadays, people in Xingquan and Liping Prefectures, especially the merchants and gentry and landlords, are not afraid of the local officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they are not even afraid of the army, because whether they are officials or the army, they all want to
Those who abide by the rules will not harass the place at will.
But they fear and hate tax officials, especially those from the tax inspection team under the Ministry of Taxation!
If we use the words of those gentry and landlords, the tax inspection team is more hated than the worst corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty!
Looking at it this way, this tax inspection team is absolutely furious!
Why? Because many gentry, landlords and merchants have had their homes confiscated and exterminated by tax inspection teams because of tax evasion.
So much so that some local gentry in Xingquan Prefecture tried to write to the Tang Dynasty, saying that the people in the tax inspection team had done harm to the people and requested strict investigation!
As a result, within two days, people from the tax inspection team came to find him, and then produced a lot of evidence of his tax evasion, and arrested him and ransacked his home!
By now, many people in Xingquan Mansion know that in Xingquan Mansion, you can secretly call Li Xuan a traitor, and you can even be a spy for the Ming army, but you must not evade taxes, otherwise those who eat
The hard-nosed tax inspection team will come to your door tomorrow.
Usually when that time comes, the end result is death and family ruin, without exception! Because few people’s butts are clean, and almost all of them will have tax problems. It is guaranteed to catch the right one, but most of the time,
The tax officials just turned a blind eye to this. After all, they couldn't kill them all.
After the notorious tax inspectors stationed in Huaiyuan County, the first thing they did was recruit troops, and then they compiled a list of big businessmen and big landowners in Huaiyuan County. What will they do next? Naturally, they will collect taxes one by one according to the list.
!
What, you said the autumn grain has been delivered?
What the heck, the taxes you paid before were paid to Pseudo-Ming. What does this have to do with us in the Tang Dynasty? Moreover, your family has hundreds of acres of fields. All these fields have to pay taxes. What, you said that the head of your family has
The gentry of the Tang Dynasty pay tax as a whole. You have to pay as much tax as you have as much land as you have!
Besides, instead of looking to you big landowners to collect taxes, is it possible that I will also look to those poor people who can’t squeeze out a few copper coins even if they pry open the bones to collect taxes? What is the tax amount for me?
It can only be completed when the time comes. I am going there to make money!
Pay your autumn taxes quickly, otherwise I will let you know how powerful our tax inspection team is!
At this time, these landowners often use money as bribes!
Naturally, you can't expect the tax inspection team from these green-skinned gangsters to be very honest. They will accept the bribe immediately, and then they will instantly turn their backs and say: "You are so bold, you dare to bribe the tax officials of the Tang Dynasty. I am tired of living."
Someone is coming, ransack the house!"
After all this hard work, you can always receive a satisfactory amount of tax, and the tax inspection team members who go on business are also full of money in their pockets!
Why do so many scumbags actively participate when the tax inspection team recruits soldiers? It’s because working as an errand in the tax inspection team has great opportunities to make money!
Moreover, the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty also turned a blind eye to the actions of the tax inspection team. The memorials to impeach the tax inspection team could fill a room, but Li Xuan never read them and basically ignored them!
It is worth noting that the scumbags in the tax inspection team often not only refuse to do things for you after accepting bribes, but some evil-minded people will also turn against you on the spot and use the crime of bribery to ask for more money, which has made Xingquan miserable now.
The ordinary people over there are now smarter.
Very few people would foolishly pay bribes to people from the tax inspection team. If you pay taxes honestly, the people from the tax inspection team will naturally not come to you for trouble. But if you evade taxes and still want to pay bribes,
It would be embarrassing to ask the tax inspection team to let you go. They never take too much money, but after accepting a bribe, they will charge you with bribery in minutes.
, and then ask for more money. If you don’t give it, they will ransack your home in minutes, okay!
Collecting bribes is not as profitable as raiding a house!
The scum like the Tax Inspection Team take money without doing anything, and immediately turn against and ransack homes after receiving the money in order to make more money. This has simply destroyed the market for bribery and bribery, and made many Datang officials miserable.
, these tax officials who kill thousands of people, you have broken all the rules. How can I accept bribes in the future?
The small Huaiyuan County welcomed local officials from the Tang Dynasty and began local governance, recruiting soldiers, and tax collection.
As for Rong County, military control soon ceased and was handed over to civilian officials. However, this time among the main officials in Rong County, there was one more official who was demoted in the Ming Dynasty, and that was the county magistrate of Rong County. This person was breaking the rules.
When he entered the city, he also tried to escape, but after being caught, he simply changed his mind on the spot and expressed his willingness to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
In order to win over people's hearts, Ma Wei, the prefect of Liuzhou Prefecture, made a prompt decision. After discussing directly with the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he appointed him as the county magistrate of Rong County.
Naturally, Rong County's follow-up arrangements follow the example of Huaiyuan County!
The army attacked the next city, and then civilian officials took over and began to establish rule. This had already formed a complete set of procedures and rules in the Tang Dynasty, and there did not need to be too many problems.
Before the army went south, the Ministry of Civil Affairs had already selected the county magistrates of each county in Liuzhou in advance. In addition, Ma Wei, the prefect of Liuzhou Prefecture, was personally appointed by Li Xuan. In other words, Hao Bainian had not captured Liuzhou Prefecture yet.
However, the Tang Dynasty has already prepared the allocation of officials above the county level for the entire Liuzhou Prefecture.
Of course, some low-level officials would not go all the way to be specially appointed. Some were directly recruited from local scholars, some were selected from the Ming Dynasty and were demoted, and some were directly recruited from retired soldiers and officers.
Although most scholars today look down on the Tang Dynasty, and many people are afraid of death and dare not have anything to do with the Tang Dynasty, there are always some people who are not afraid of death and want to take advantage of the chaos to gain wealth. Generally speaking, surrendering
Although there were not many scholars in the Tang Dynasty and officials in the Ming Dynasty, there were still some.
In Liping Mansion and Xingquan Mansion, the situation is even better. It has been more than half a year since the Tang Dynasty established its rule in Xingquan Mansion, and there has been no counterattack by the imperial army, and the scale of the Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger.
He became bigger and bigger, and defeated the imperial army several times, which made many people have strange thoughts.
Especially after the news that the Tang Dynasty King's army defeated Zhu Zhihai's troops and almost wiped out all the 50,000 to 60,000 troops in Guizhou Province was sent back to Xingquan Mansion, many scholars took the initiative to apply for the army in those days.
What about the officials of the Tang Dynasty?
This time, many of the officials who came to Guangxi with the army were scholars who had just been recruited to serve the Tang Dynasty!
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has already expressed to Li Xuan that the current situation is quite optimistic. As the army continues to defeat the Ming army, more and more scholars are beginning to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and devote themselves to the great cause of reviving the Tang Dynasty.
If many scholars had not defected in a short period of time, the Tang Dynasty might not be able to arrange enough people to serve as officials in Guizhou and Guangxi provinces!
After Huaiyuan and Rongxian were brought under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Hao Bainian also brought tens of thousands of troops to Liuzhou City!
Looking at Liuzhou Fucheng ahead, Hao Bainian was not in a hurry to launch an attack because he knew that there were many Ming troops in the city.
Moreover, the battle in Liuzhou was directly related to the key to whether the Tang Dynasty could gain a foothold in central Guangxi, but nothing could be done carelessly.
He is not willing to capsize in the gutter because he underestimates the enemy and rushes in!
