Chapter 88 Tax Collection

Lin Pingzhi is a member of the tax collection office who is now famous.

His father, Lin Zhennan, originally regarded the tax collection office as a villain in the name of the court, but he just wanted to use money to pay off the menacing tax collection office. Borrowed some banknotes.

The tax office was not as bad as the rumors in the rivers and lakes said. After receiving part of the gold and silver, it returned the remaining part together with the house deeds and land deeds to the Fuwei Escort Bureau, and praised Lin Zhennan's behavior, and invited the emperor. According to the decree, he was given an official position. Although he has no real power and only a symbolic salary of ten taels of silver per year, he is a real official.

And with the endorsement of the Taxation Office, some people in the Jianghu have to give some face - it's impossible not to give face, once a group of unscrupulous bandits killed the bodyguards of the Fuwei Bodyguard Bureau and robbed the goods they escorted, and taxed them. After the people at the institute heard this, they immediately dispatched a pair of men and horses, and started chasing and killing the group of bandits.

Later, I found out that these bandits were disciples of a certain small sect. Their martial arts were not high enough to occupy the top of the mountain like other famous sects, and they had countless properties. After leaving the master, they could only become bandits. To get rich, I don't know where to find out about the oppression of the taxation office on the same people in the rivers and lakes, and the "surrender" of the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency, so I couldn't think about robbing the bodyguard.

In the name of "not being strict with believers", the Taxation Office directly wiped out that small sect - of course, with their usual style, of course it would not be the practice of slaughtering all the sects.

According to the director of the tax collection office, people cannot create value after they die, and it is better to stay and make some contributions to society than to kill them.

The tax office confiscated and sold all the properties of the small sect, and then put the disciples into the mines and farmland to work-with martial arts, their work efficiency was much better than ordinary people.

But in the eyes of the outside world, that small sect was completely wiped out by the people from the Taxation Office, and now there is no one who is blind to rob the Fuwei Escort, and the reputation gained by bloody killings is so effective.

And as an example, Lin Zhennan's only son, Lin Pingzhi, was recruited by the head of the Taxation Office and got a job in the Taxation Office.

Although the two did not have the names of masters and apprentices, the director of the Tax Collection Office, who has never seen the end of the dragon, taught him martial arts carefully. In just a few months, Lin Zhennan was no match for his spoiled son, and he was even able to match his grandfather Lin in his memory. Take a few tricks from Yuantu.

And with this relationship, although Lin Pingzhi's position is not high, he was assigned an important position.

For example, Liu Zhengfeng's official position through this Master Zhang was issued in the form of imperial decree, and the responsibility of escorting the imperial decree fell on Lin Pingzhi's shoulders-not to mention that appointing officials by imperial decree is not in line with the imperial court's usual practice. Now with the backing of the Taxation Office, the emperor's words are the truth above the law. Officials who dare to violate, neglect, or question the emperor's will will be "reviewed" by the Taxation Office.

The tax office doesn't care about corruption, it only checks for tax evasion and tax evasion, and there are not many officials in my Ming Dynasty who have clean buttocks, except for Hai Gangfeng, who doesn't have a lot of fertile land at home and a lot of assets.

Because of the benefit of not having to pay taxes, I don’t know how many land servants donate to them every year. This is what the tax collection checks. Compared with the amount of official salaries set by the Taizu, basically a check is accurate.

Moreover, the people from the Taxation Office are really ruthless. Once, a senior member of the court privately encouraged students who went to Beijing to take the exam to resist the "industrial and commercial tax" officially established by the Taxation Office. There was a lot of noise for a while, and many ministers signed a letter , Threatening the emperor to take back the order that violated the ancestral precepts.

But just like countless truths proven by history, absolute force is the standard to measure everything. Those officials who were promoted by the behind-the-scenes bosses as pawns have been imprisoned, their properties have been confiscated, and their family members have been arrested.

As for those candidates who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, they were not let go. Although the reason for their troubles was instructed by those high officials in the court, it also involved their own real interests, and they were able to fight their way out of thousands of troops to obtain the fame of Juren. , it means that they are not the kind of fools, it is impossible to be shot by someone for no reason.

As Juren, they already belong to "officials", and tax exemption is also applicable to them. Although they do not have a thousand acres of fertile land, they have a lot of assets. "Industrial and commercial tax" is to divide their interests. If someone makes a promise, of course Stand out.

Then they were recorded by Huaying Graphics, and they found their hometown according to the map, confiscated all their property, and sent them together with their families to work in places like royal farms and mines.

Anyway, there is no shortage of officials eager for promotion in the court, and it is enough to fill those vacancies; the number of exam candidates has been reduced by half, and for the other half of the candidates, there are many fewer competitors, which is undoubtedly a blessing.

Just like many years later, the Qing Dynasty relied on the imperial examination as an upward channel to win the loyalty of the scholars.

There are many servants of those officials who are skilled in martial arts. Every year so many disciples of the martial arts sect become teachers, they must find a job. After all, reality is not a fairy tale. People have to eat. It is a good place to look after the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries.

But those skilled players couldn't even last a round in front of the people from the Taxation Office. If it wasn't for the usual style of the Taxation Office, those people would not only be stunned, but blood would be spattered on the spot.

Because of this, all the officials in the DPRK and China are in danger, lest they will be found by the tax collectors if they do not do well. The original internal struggle between the party and the government has been suspended, and the work efficiency has increased several times. It has completely become a tool to implement the emperor's will. people.

Even if there are irregularities in the emperor's wishes, which violate the so-called "ancestral teachings" in their mouths, they will try their best to find out the origin of the explanation from the classics-just like the imperial court in the Qing Dynasty relied on the steel knife in their hands to extract it from their hands. The Ming Dynasty would not be able to collect tax anyway, even if it was the same group of people before and after.

In order to receive people from the Taxation Office, Mr. Zhang had already vacated his bedroom and study. First, he took Lin Pingzhi to the study and handed over an account book: "My lord, these are the I spent part of the gold and silver that people in Hengshan City offered me when they befriended me, and sent the other part to the capital, and the rest..."

Lin Pingzhi didn't even look at Mr. Zhang's account book, and said with a cold face: "What the emperor wants is not your gold and silver, but your attitude. It is recognized that the salaries of officials set by Emperor Taizu Hongwu are relatively low. As for the matter, it is difficult for an official to support his family if he is not greedy, and it is also difficult to gain a foothold in the face of bribery by local forces, which is also human nature."
