Chapter 175: Tax collection, inspection of public sentiment!
The relationship between Yang Jing and Zhao Mian should be pretty good.
The two of them came in together just now.
Unexpectedly, he would actually join Zhao Mian.
The Prince Consort Ouyang Lun was a relative of the emperor, so joining him was no small matter.
Zhao Jing handed over the memorial.
Zhu Yunzhen turned it over and saw that Zhao Mian took advantage of his position to accept bribes from businessmen, issue false invoices, and make profits from it.
Ouyang Lun became even more courageous.
His family did not apply for a tax certificate or pay taxes to the court when they were doing business. When the tax inspector blocked the road for inspection, his servant Zhou Bao beat the tax inspector severely and walked away.
"Is there any evidence for the two of them?" Zhu Yunzhen put down the memorial after reading it and asked Zhao Jing.
"The two of them, one is an important minister in the court and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the other is a relative of the emperor and the prince-in-law. Without His Majesty's decree and Taisun's order, the subordinates dare not investigate without authorization."
That's much lower than the admission rate for candidates who were admitted to the exams.
"They run a huge business and pay close to zero taxes."
Seeing that there was only a woman in Tsing Yi in her seventies at one of the tables, Zhu Yun walked over and said, "Excuse me, sir, do you know if we can set up a table together?"
The reports you hear from others are the same as those you personally experience on the front line.
Xiao Ming needs to set up a special tax department.
Zhao Mianxi's expression changed uncontrollably.
"The official heard that he was not the only one, but that the distinguished officials and relatives of the emperor and the country, apart from applying for a tax certificate at the beginning, later failed to apply for invoices and file tax returns as required."
People who don't have money often dig caves and hide all their money.
Now that we have collected so much money through the issuance of national bonds, we have no confidence to do anything.
"That's it! The young master is still a scholar. I'm sorry, I'm disrespectful." Zhu Yun handed over his hand.
Tang Biao bowed his hands in thanks, and Zhao Mianxu and the other eight people sat down respectively.
Right.
I decided to go out and investigate in person about the consort Xu Miaojin and the Minister of Household Affairs Jiang Wei.
From the outside, it seems that Tang Biao is the only villain with eight children.
It is always necessary to break away from the grassroots level.
Now when I revisit my hometown, I find that the pier is more prosperous than before.
The compilation of "Hongwu Xiaodian" is a very large project, requiring the concerted efforts of thousands of people.
"The young master's accent sounds like he's from the capital city?" Zhu Yun sat forward and asked incessantly.
Tang Biaowen was tired from walking, so he found a popular tea shed and wanted to sit down and have a cup of tea.
That situation must be resolved as soon as possible.
The imperial court opened up business qualifications based on household registration. People flocked to do business in countless numbers, and their popularity was certainly higher than in the future.
"Yes, the money outside the home is hidden, so why use it to buy national debt?"
It was here that Yang Jing impeached his servant and beat the inspector.
Besides, I also need strict protection when traveling.
Although I had not expected that those people would try to evade taxes, I was not surprised that they were so timid.
Several Zaoli, wearing government uniforms, walked back in a swaying manner and shouted: "Store, it's time to pay the tax for that month. If so, close the shop immediately."
There is too much gold, so naturally it can only be silver.
"Actually, it's a strange thing. During the Han Dynasty, when the court had money, it sold officials in small quantities. You should have heard of it when you listened to the Eight Kingdoms, right?"
"The national debt is wrong. If you know it, will you be able to get the money smoothly when it matures? What if the court dumps you before maturity? Can you give me the money?"
The common people must be suspicious of the imperial court, and it is unknown how much silver the people can come up with.
While they were talking, there was a sudden commotion inside.
"The imperial court has no money and still wants to borrow money from the common people?"
"The tax system newly established by His Highness Taisun has disappeared in just a few months."
The grandson traveled partly to investigate a case.
"What are you waiting for? Buy national bonds!"
Amid the discussion, the crowd rushed to buy government bonds.
There were few people in the teahouse, and almost every table was full.
The inspection must be targeted, but it is particularly easy for flies to visit.
"Ouyang Lun's servant Zhou Bao committed an attack and beat up the tax inspector. The tax inspector testified, and many people witnessed it with his own eyes."
As soon as the notice about the issuance of national bonds by the imperial court was posted, it immediately aroused discussion among hundreds of people.
"The national debt actually has no interest, which is 7% per year?"
After all, special business people have to pay taxes, and we pay taxes, which means that our business costs are much higher than those of special business people.
There are fewer people coming and going, and fewer business travelers than before.
Bad money eliminates good money, and after a short period of time, a small number of special traders will be eliminated directly.
In order for these royal relatives and distinguished officials to pay taxes honestly, we must know the pros and cons and let us know that we must bear the consequences of paying taxes.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of both tax collection and treasury withdrawals. This is a flaw in the system.
"Instruct Zhu Yun, commander of the Jinyi Guards, to come quickly to see the orphan."
It's strange that even the imperial court spent so little silver.
The white money, like running water, poured into the treasury.
In this case, how can special businessmen compete with us?
After all, money can only create its value when it is flowing.
But hiding the money outside the house really plays the role of circulating value.
Since Tang Biaohe jumped out, he just treated the chicken and killed it.
Seeing the smooth issuance of national bonds, Zhao Mianxi breathed a sigh of relief.
…
I had no idea, so I took the initiative to act as a "mouth substitute".
There are also many temporary stalls set up on the roadside for guests to drink tea and rest.
When buying treasury bonds, you can only buy silver, and all the rest are for sale.
…
I wasn't worried at all.
I wanted people to pay attention to me, so I had already secretly told Zhu Yun that I would pretend to be the "elder" when I came out this time.
Jin Yiwei had already made some inquiries, and found out that Prince Consort Xu Miaojin's family did not have a batch of goods. They had just shipped them from outside and were unloading them at the dock.
…
Unexpectedly, as soon as the notice for the issuance of national debt was posted, it was snapped up.
"His Majesty Taisun will disappoint you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Zhao Mianxi travels, there are many people secretly protecting him, but they are all lurking in Seven Weeks.
"You also signed the petition of all people to elect the grandson to the palace, if you doubt me."
The woman in green smiled heartily and said: "Sir, you're welcome. In the tea shed, the small families set up tables randomly, so little attention is paid to them. Please sit down."
Jinling City.
Xiao Ming's silver production was originally small and sufficient, but Xiao Ming also hid the silver, so there was even more silver on the market.
Tang Biaohe suddenly thought that there were not many people in the Zongren Mansion who were doing business, and most of us also evaded taxes. If we were to investigate Tang Biaohe, we would probably only try to cover him up.
That's not much of a waste.
Before the edict was issued, there was an overwhelming number of students going to Beijing, and they wanted to be one of the places where the woman in green clothes would be.
Zhao Mianxuan was in a bad mood, so he, Xixi, and Ouyang Lun went straight to the Yangtze River Wharf without talking or laughing.
People in previous lives would deposit money in the bank, which seemed like a fixed deposit was missing. In reality, money was still flowing through the bank.
After that, I went there in search of sweet potatoes.
"Someone has testified about Zhao Mian's matter. Whether it is true or not can be known after a quick investigation."
Tang Biao was specially arranged by me.
People in that era did not have many channels for managing money.
"Xu Miaojin's case must be handled seriously and slowly. Your Majesty's Mansion..."
"How can it be compared? Usury is illegal, and you will be beheaded if you find it. Besides, it is also immoral, so it is still safe."
…
"It's because you're worried. It's a national bond issued by Prince Taisun to raise money for the new army. Prince Taisun is the God of War at Lingxiao. How can he pay back the money he owes the people?"
"The New Army is so powerful. Are we still worried about having money before it is destroyed?"
Xixi has been clamoring to come out to play, so Zhao Mianxi took you with him.
"As for Ouyang Lun's business without a tax certificate, some people have also testified."
"It doesn't make sense. Even if others believe it, you can still believe it, Prince Taisun."
At this time, Zhao Mianzhen was walking down the street with Xixi, Ouyang Lun, and Zhu Yun, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Tang Biaohe heard the news and rushed over.
I gave the order and murderous intent appeared in my eyes.
Kill the chicken to respect the monkey.
"Hahaha, compared to selling an official position, raising money in the name of national debt is still a lot of trouble."
"I came to Beijing this time because the imperial court wanted to compile the "Hongwu Xiaodian", so I came from thousands of miles away in the hope of getting a position as an editor."
Income and expenditure must be separated, two lines.
"Tang Biao is preparing to issue national bonds. My case needs to be investigated, but it can only be done secretly."
"But the interest rate is too high. It's only 7%. Nowadays, the interest rate for loan sharks is 200% a year."
I also took the opportunity to take a look at the lives of the people in Jinling and how we view our great-grandson.
The treasury bonds issued at that time were of one year, eight years, seven years, ten years, seventy years, eighty years and seventy years.
All the noble ministers and relatives of the emperor and the emperor pay taxes. What is affected is not only the tax revenue of the imperial court, but also directly disrupts the abnormal operation of the entire commercial economy.
The imperial court issued a notice that uneducated people from all over the country could go to Beijing to be appointed. Those who passed the examination could participate in the compilation of small canons.
The seventh day is also to inspect the public sentiment.
"The household deficit is huge, so it has nothing to do with it."
"Sir, you have bad eyesight." The woman in green clothes said, "I am from Yuanzhou, Jiangxi Province. I have been studying since childhood and have a good knowledge of history, but I have not lost my fame."
