It was not until the day had darkened that Xu Zhiqian came out of the back hall, but she was not tired at all and was in high spirits.
After getting on the carriage, Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask: "You haven't been holding it in for two months and forced yourself to increase the workload, right?"
"of course not."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him: "It's just that those sisters would inevitably complain a few words, so we just chatted a few more words."
As she said that, she sighed softly: "Zhang San, why does Wang Xueshi have to collect the tax exemption from these female households? It's not easy for them."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I think Academician Wang did this for the good of the female households."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei explained with a smile: "This is like those clients who come to our firm for help. Ordinary people can only sit in the front hall, while wealthy businessmen sit in the back hall. They serve good tea and wine, and their voices are louder. The requirements are also more demanding, and they even make fun of me from time to time, not because they are handsome, but because they pay us hundreds of dollars every year.
If you women also want to get more rights and interests, other people's sympathy cannot solve this problem. It depends on your own efforts. First of all, you have to prove your worth, and money can prove many things. When female households can pay more taxes, the court will naturally give you more rights. "
Xu Zhiqian agreed very much with this statement and nodded, "What you said makes sense. I should have asked you to talk to them just now."
"no!"
Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "I am a married man."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
This independent declaration completely activated the entire public security system, and also caused subtle changes in the entire power structure of the court.
When the tax department became independent, it also had to rely on the procuratorate and the royal court to recover taxes, which led to the independence of the judiciary.
Of course, Wang Anshi should take 70% of the credit for this.
If he does not collect taxes from official households, female households, monks and Taoists, then the effect will not be very great.
In fact, in comparison, this exemption tax is only a small tax. The main revenue of the national finance still comes from the summer and autumn taxes. However, due to the wide coverage of this small tax, it basically covers everyone except the poor, which leads to tax The power of the company increases.
This has also led to many subordinate staff resigning directly and switching to the police station. After all, there is a fixed salary there, and if they become a regular employee, their salary can be doubled, which is an iron rice bowl. It happens that the police station also has a relatively lack of civilian staff. Basically, they go to the police station. You can apply for the job.
The police station also began to become stronger and stronger.
You must know that when the police station was established, it was to issue vehicle and horse license plates and collect vehicle and horse fees. This is the special skill of the police station. It is very experienced in this kind of publicity. In addition, there are many wealthy households, official households, monks and Taoist priests, and female households. They go to major bookstores for statistics, so it is impossible to queue up here to declare.
Because showing off your wealth in public is not a wise choice.
If you are a little richer, you may write it yourself first and not come here to report the numbers.
Therefore, after only a few days of publicity, the police station officially began to conduct property and income statistics on the people in the city.
Coupled with the powerful tool of house number, the work is much easier than the original license plate, and it will not delay the people's work. Because it is stipulated in advance, from what day to what time and where to report.
The people are also ready.
Having said that, there is nothing to count among ordinary people’s houses.
At dawn, the various declaration points were already full of queues. For the people, it was much better to declare by themselves than to have the managers do the counting. However, every person's face was full of anxiety.
Although I declared it myself, the final result has not come out, and I still feel a little worried about the gain and loss.
Because no one knows what the consequences will be if they report it.
"Police, my family sells cooking cakes."
A five-foot-tall man with a stooped waist handed over his household registration and said uneasily.
The police officer in charge of registration took the household register and filled in the information accordingly, and then circled the merchants. Due to the development of movable type printing, they now all use declaration forms.
This greatly improves the efficiency of registration.
"Does the family have any other income?"
"My wife occasionally helps others sew clothes and earn some money."
"Does your family have land?"
"No."
"Do you have livestock?"
"No!"
"Do you have a house?"
"My house is a rented house."
"How much is the annual rent?"
"Seven Guan."
“How much tax do you pay each year?”
"Three Guan Fifty Wen."
He asked again: "How much income can you expect each year?"
"About sixty or seventy."
"okay."
"What? That's enough."
"Yes. Next one."
Another middle-aged man came up.
The man came up and said eagerly: "I am the only one working in my family, moving goods on the dock, and my annual income is about thirty or forty yuan. Police, I shouldn't have to pay this tax."
"I'm just responsible for registering for you. I don't know whether you need to pay it or not."
Just a few simple questions, a circle of questions, and the next person.
This made the people not believe it.
Is it really that simple?
In the past, when the officials came to calculate the household status, they basically had to turn the house upside down, so they all gave the house a few stitches and a few threads. As a result, when they came here, they only said a few words, and many of them did not ask, nor did they ask. Whatever you question, he will write whatever you say.
By daybreak, the first batch was all done.
The efficiency value is directly filled up.
Suddenly I heard a commotion.
"Deputy Superintendent, Horse Team."
"Deputy Superintendent."
I saw Cao Dongdong walking over with his hands on his hips, dragging two and a half million people with him, with a pair of clever eyes, looking left and right. He was full of leadership style. Standing next to him were two guardians, Ma Xiaoyi and Zhang Fei. Behind him were Tao Zi and other three or five royal policemen, who were extremely powerful.
"Old Xu, how are you?"
Cao Dongdong asked a man in his forties dressed as a scholar.
This person is the civilian supervisor of the police station, named Xu Hao.
"If we go back to the deputy superintendent, everything will go smoothly." Xu Hao said, then glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "Thanks to Saburo's declaration form, this saved us a lot of trouble!"
Cao Dongdong hummed: "Don't praise him. We spend hundreds of dollars every year. This is what he should do."
He had tried every means to please Zhang Fei before, but to no avail. Later, Zhang Fei kept reminding him to renew, which made him gradually realize that this customer is God's end. If you are unhappy, I will hit you with hundreds of dollars more.
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes."
"Brat!"
Suddenly I heard a yell.
Cao Dongdong turned his head and looked, but when he saw Wang Anshi coming with eyes wide open, he couldn't help but change his expression. He pretended to be busy and gave some random instructions to Ma Xiaoyi and the others. When Wang Anshi came over, he was wiping his sweat and panting again. He said: "I have met the Grand Scholar Wang. Oh, Grand Scholar Wang, please come to me, Erbi, if you need anything. I...I still have a lot of things to deal with."
This acting is really impeccable.
Wang Anshi said: "Okay, I'll talk to you Erbi."
He only had Zhang Fei in his eyes.
"Why!"
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi left in a hurry.
md! Next time you renew your contract, if I don’t double your employment salary, I’ll take your last name Cao! Zhang Fei glared at the two unloyal guys, then walked over, saluted Wang Anshi and said, "Scholar Wang."
Wang Anshi said lightly: "Do you know why I haven't looked for you recently?"
Zhang Fei shook his head.
Wang Anshi said fiercely: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you up."
"Why?" Zhang Fei asked fearfully.
"What you're doing is entirely relying on the Kaifeng Prefecture's public prosecutorial laws. There are no public prosecutorial laws in other places. What's the point of my attempt?"
"Scholar Wang, you have to be reasonable. I am employed by the police station, and they are only responsible for Kaifeng Mansion. Of course, I am only targeting Kaifeng Mansion. Other places have nothing to do with me."
"Oh, you are telling me that you recognize money but not people, right?"
"Uh... of course not."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "Scholar Wang, this is actually more beneficial to you."
Wang Anshi frowned and said, "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "If Kaifeng Prefecture succeeds, other places will definitely actively cooperate with Mr. Wang in collecting the exemption tax. Otherwise, we will send him to the Public Security Bureau and Taxation Department to declare independently. Just ask them if they are afraid."
Wang Anshi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes! If anyone is dissatisfied, I will send them to the police."
Of course he knew that many big landowners and dignitaries were in great pain due to this independent declaration. Compared with the previous method, it was much better, so those officials had to live up to their expectations, otherwise, the public security organs and the procuratorate might Come to your door.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "Hey, hey, hey! If you have already done the statistics, submit your declaration form over here. Don't delay others in queuing."
"Hey! It's Bachelor Sima. I've met Bachelor Sima before."
Old thief Sima?
Wang Anshi and Zhang Fei turned to look at the same time, but saw the old man Sima Guang standing more than ten steps away holding a declaration form.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Wang Anshi said hurriedly.
The two walked over quietly.
I saw Xu Hao asking Sima Guang anxiously: "Senior Sima, you... why did you come here to declare?"
Sima Guang asked: "Then where should I go?"
"No...no, I...I thought Bachelor Sima would ask Erbi to help."
"I can write and do math myself, so why should I spend this wasted money?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Bachelor Sima just hand over the declaration form to me."
Sima Guang handed the declaration form directly to Xu Hao, "Can you see if there are any problems?"
"yes."
Xu Hao looked at it carefully and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that it's written in too much detail. For example, there's no need to write about tea utensils and tools. Just write about houses, fields, carriages and horses."
Sima Guang was also curious: "When we calculated household status before, we had to remember all of these, why don't you need to remember them here."
Xu Hao said hurriedly: "This little guy doesn't know. The higher-ups have issued a declaration form. We just make inquiries based on this declaration form."
"That's it! That's okay. If there's no problem, I'll leave first."
"Bachelor Sima, walk slowly."
Sima Guang slightly cupped his hands, but when he turned around, he saw Wang Anshi and Zhang Fei standing not far away, looking at him in confusion. He had just seen Zhang Fei. After all, Cao Dongdong was so arrogant, so he walked over and said without any emotion. : "What a coincidence?"
Wang Anshi wondered: "Junshi, are you even reluctant to spend this little money?"
Zhang Fei also said depressedly: "Yes! Bachelor Sima, you don't even let me earn this little money."
Sima Guang was also puzzled: "Why should I let you make this money?"
Wang Anshi shook his head sadly, "Zhang San, I know why the Public Security Bureau has been working on it for a year and has not even left Bianjing City. He...he is thinking about this daily necessities every day. How can this be slow?" ?”
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "What Scholar Wang said makes sense."
Sima Guang immediately glared at Wang Anshi, "Stop pretending here, my wife will remember that."
"No wonder! No wonder!"
Wang Anshi pretended to be suddenly enlightened again, "I'm just telling you that you came here on the first day. With your temperament, you shouldn't have to think about it for half a year to make sure nothing is missed before handing it in. It turns out it was Mrs. Ling who wrote it."
Sima Guang's face started to turn blue, "That's better than your carelessness. If Madam Ling hadn't helped you take care of it, you would have gone to sleep on the street."
"Sleep on the street, sleep on the street, what does it matter?" Wang Anshi ignored him and asked Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, if you don't file the tax return after the due date, does it count as tax evasion?"
Zhang Fei pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Er pen! Where is the superintendent's Zhang Da'er pen?"
I heard Cao Dongdong's harsh shouting again.
Doubled? I want it to double. Zhang Fei's mouth twitched a few times, but he still responded: "I'm here!"
"Come here quickly, Uncle Han is here."
"knew."
"Zihua is here, let's go there together."
Wang Anshi said.
The three of them walked over together and saw Cao Dongdong frantically showing off his acting skills, "Ouch! Uncle Han, my nephew is really... too busy. Otherwise, you... you talk to my Erbi, he... he very familiar."
This was something he couldn't ask. If he asked, he would be exposed. He went to Zhang's house early this morning and pulled Zhang Fei over.
Han Jiang smiled and nodded: "Okay! Go and do your work."
"Why!"
While Panting, Cao Dongdong nodded and bowed to Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others: "Uncles and uncles, my nephew will not accompany you."
"Excuse me, Deputy Superintendent."
"Where! Where!"
Cao Dongdong said to Zhang Fei with a serious face: "Zhang San, you have to explain it clearly to my uncles and uncles, otherwise, I will replace you."
Zhang Fei squeezed out a smile and said, "Go and get busy in the office."
As soon as Cao Dongdong left, he heard someone say: "Those who don't have household registration go to line up over there."
Then I heard someone shouting in the distance: "If you don't have your household registration, come here and line up."
Sima Guang asked: "If they don't have their household registration, shouldn't they be allowed to go home to get their household registration? These people should live nearby."
Zhang Fei whispered: "It's said that they don't have household registration, but they actually refer to those who don't have household registration."
Han Jiang frowned and said, "If you don't have a household registration, why should you pay taxes?"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't know the specifics, but this is what the tax department explained. People who don't have a household registration and have no money, first of all, they don't have to pay taxes. Secondly, they can't check it. But they don't have a household registration and they have money." Yes, they may notice it, so the tax department thinks that they should be given a chance to pay taxes, so that when they go to court, they will say that they have no chance to pay taxes."
So rigorous?
Sima Guang was stunned.
Wang Anshi nodded frequently when he heard this, feeling that what Zhang Fei said was very reasonable. All official households must pay taxes, but if they don't have household registration, they won't pay taxes?
Han Jiang asked curiously: "Is the Taxation Department still capable?"
Those who don't have household registration in the countryside are mostly clients who hide their household registration, but you can imagine who those people who don't have household registration in this city are.
Can the tax department catch them?
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know this either, but that's how they explained it."
