Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 67
"A tax assistant is to help with taxation. Of course, it is not a formal official position of the imperial court, but a temporary assignment by the king."

Zhao Dezhao knew the small thoughts in everyone's mind. He looked around the audience and raised his voice and said, "However, as long as the errands are done well and achieved results, then it will be an official official position of the imperial court! At that time, the king will personally play Ming Shengshang, At least make it a fifth grade!"

With a buzz, the whole room was in a commotion, and now they offered a genuine fifth grade, which was still the starting price, the king of the county was really generous!
Wang Zixing and Shi Yuanliang were even hotter, their eyelids were swollen, their backgrounds were embarrassing, and their desire for fame and fortune was even more serious. How could they not be excited when they heard that Zhao Dezhao had promised such a great future?
This is the benefit that can be obtained right in front of your eyes, and it is more inspiring than Zhao Dezhao's previous obscure painting.

This was especially true for Wang Zixing. He remembered very clearly that his elder brother who was an official in Kaifeng Mansion had his nostrils turned up to the sky, and his official rank was only the sixth rank!

Two days later, the new deed tax law introduced by Zhao Dezhao first began to be implemented in Kaifeng and Xijing.

The reason why he chose to land in these two places first is the optimal choice made by Zhao Dezhao considering the limitations of objective conditions.

First, time is urgent.A new tax system must be implemented nationwide in just a few days. Let alone the Song Dynasty in the 21th century, when transportation is basically based on walking and communication is basically roaring, it is to put high-speed trains, planes, and telecommunications all over the land. In the Internet-based [-]st century China, it is also an impossible task.

Kaifeng Prefecture and Xijing Henan Prefecture are close to the imperial center and have strong control. It is most convenient to implement it in these two prefectures, and the results will be the fastest.

The second is the limited manpower. The idle eunuchs selected by the inner treasury supervisor from the palace are not immediately available, but need to be trained and screened; Urgent, I have to return it after all.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to expect to cover hundreds of state capitals across the country with such a small amount of available manpower.If we push forward without objective conditions, I am afraid that more problems will be solved than brought about.

"First close and then far, first rich and then poor, first make key breakthroughs, and then fully implement" - this is the deed tax promotion route set by Zhao Dezhao comprehensively considering the existing conditions and difficulties.

The inspiration for this idea is actually that Zhao Dezhao borrowed from the "reform experiment" that later generations like to do: every time a new system is invented, it is tried to be implemented in areas with better conditions. Nationwide promotion: Experienced areas will spread the word to inexperienced areas, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and the whole country will soon be covered, and the implementation is fast and stable, and it is not easy to make mistakes.

Kaifeng Prefecture and Xijing Henan Prefecture just meet the two favorable conditions of "both close and wealthy".

Therefore, these two places naturally became Zhao Dezhao's top priority for breakthrough early on.

Even the "30 days, 30 guan" that Zhao Dezhao promised to the emperor's father was derived from the estimated deed tax of these two places, otherwise he would not have the courage to boast to the emperor's father.

Shi Yuanliang was sent to Luoyang, that is, the Henan Prefecture of Xijing to supervise the collection of deed taxes. It was in the military jurisdiction of his uncle Shi Shouxin. He was sent there to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree. Whether it's the local chamber of commerce or not, you have to give him some face.

The task Zhao Dezhao gave him was to collect at least 28 guan within the remaining [-] days.

His uncle Wang Zixing was left in Kaifeng Mansion by Zhao Dezhao, and supervised the local National Taxation Bureau in the capital. The forces of all parties are unwilling to buy his account and give him convenience, at least he will not be frightened or fooled.

As the richest and most commercially prosperous region in the entire Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Prefecture was of course the top priority. Zhao Dezhao set the task for Zixing to collect 28 guan within 20 days, accounting for two-thirds of the estimated total. !
……

After assigning their respective tasks to Wang Zixing and Shi Yuanliang, Zhao Dezhao immediately switched from the state of being so busy recently to the state of throwing his hands away as a shopkeeper. How did it go, as if I completely forgot about this important event,

For the rest of the time, Zhao Dezhao spent almost all his time in the study of the county prince's mansion, tinkering with some things that others could not understand, and he was so excited and happy that his wife was left alone for several days in a row. Availability at night.

"Sister, does your State Taxation Bureau ignore it?" On the afternoon of the seventh day, Wang Xiuzhi couldn't hold back, and broke into the study under the excuse of delivering snacks to question her husband face to face.

"My lady, how do you know that I don't care?" Zhao Dezhao chuckled lightly, without even raising his head, he was busy with the matter at hand.

"You haven't been to the yamen of the State Administration of Taxation for several days." Wang Xiuzhi walked behind Zhao Dezhao, gently pinching the back of Zhao Dezhao's neck with both hands, and softly reminded the seriousness of the matter: "Mr. The first major matter you receive, if you do it anticlimactically and fail to see results, then there will be no future, and the consequences are much more serious than if you provoke the Holy One to be angry for a while."

Zhao Dezhao closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the considerate service from his lady's gentle little hands, and said with a smile: "My lady, I will work harder when you serve my husband. I will tell you the reason, and I promise to make your heart fall back into your stomach."

"Hmph! Do you want me to work harder?" Wang Xiuzhi squeezed Zhao Dezhao's nape with his fingers, and said angrily, "Is that enough?"

"Yes, yes, that's it, the strength of the hand is just right." Zhao Dezhao closed his eyes and hummed in comfort, then slowly opened his mouth and explained the whole story: "When I took over Chi Zhai and turned it into the General Office of the National Taxation Office, what did I do?" The first thing I did was to dispose of all the servants and servants there..."

"what?!"

Wang Xiuzhi screamed, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. She suddenly exerted force on her right hand, and the nail tips of her fingers dug into the flesh of the back of Zhao Dezhao's neck.

"Sir, you are too vicious! Even if Chi Jianxin offends you and violates the national law, you should deal with Chi Jianxin, but those servants in his house didn't offend you. Didn't violate any national law!"
