The General Taxation Office of the Republic of China.

In fact, the Chinese customs in the early years were directly managed by the Qing Dynasty.But after the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty was already unable to control Shanghai Customs.At that time, Shanghai Customs was the largest customs in China and also the customs with the highest income.At that time, the Manchu Qing had already lost the Jiangnan region, the largest tax source, and could no longer lose the Shanghai Customs.

Therefore, in 1854, the consulates of the United Kingdom, France and the United States in Shanghai jointly negotiated with Su Song Taidao (the actual chief executive of Shanghai) Wu Jianzhang, and decided that each of the three countries would send a tax department to "assist" the Qing government in collecting tariffs.In fact, it is relying on the strength of these great powers to resist the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and keep this most important customs.

But this is the beginning.

Soon this department became more and more powerful and managed more and more.

Not only to help collect tariffs, but also to manage customs, shipping, and even postal management.Moreover, according to the "Sino-British Commercial Regulations Rehabilitation Treaty" concluded in 1858, which stipulated that "each port should be handled uniformly", the management power of China's customs began to fall into the hands of foreign powers.

And it is no longer assisting the Qing government, but directly controlling the customs.

At that time, because of Shanghai's economic status, the General Taxation Department was established in Shanghai.However, Beijing is the capital after all, so after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified, the General Taxation Department moved to Beijing in 1865.

Because it was controlled by the British before, almost all the staff here, except for the Chinese, basically foreigners are British.In addition, a small number of top representatives such as the United States, France, and Japan have been retained.

But since the Japanese took control, the number of foreigners here has decreased sharply, and basically all of them have become Japanese.The Japanese have monopolized various important positions in the General Taxation Department.

"That idiot was played around by the Chinese people. I don't know how the empire would send such an idiot to China."

"What's the answer from the empire?"

"It's not clear yet."

Osawa Tani Ichiro looked very ugly.

When the British served as the chief tax officer, the Chinese government really entertained the British with delicious food and drink.This has been the case since the Manchu Qing government and later the Republic of China government.

why?

Because half of the Beijing government's finances at that time depended on customs revenue.At that time, the customs duties were directly in the hands of the British, and the duties were directly deposited into HSBC.

If the Chinese government wants that money, it has to ask the British.

But what about yourself?

Because of the cooperation between Duan Xun and Japan, the tariff revenue must be deposited in the Bank of China.Although the Chinese government needs its own signature and the supervision of the Japanese government for the use of this money.

But the power is greatly reduced.

The Chinese government directly negotiates with the Japanese government, and ignores itself as the General Taxation Department.Now it is sending prosecutors to raid and inspect the customs, which is simply treating itself as a display.

"These despicable Chinese people. Daze-kun, don't worry too much. The empire will definitely punish these Chinese people who don't know the rules. Let them know that the authority of the empire is not something they can shake, and let them know how to obey the rules."

"maybe."

Ichiro Osawatani certainly believes that Japan will definitely teach China a big lesson.

But so what.

As the general tax department, this kind of thing happened, it can be said that it has lost the face of the empire.After this matter subsides, it is estimated that he will be punished.

It must be even more difficult to have such a good position.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Report."

"Come in."

The General Taxation Department, the Japanese have their own police force.

"Your Excellency Daze."

Osawatani Ichiro was born as a nobleman with a title, and he came to China because he was optimistic about the position of the General Taxation Department of the Chinese Customs.Therefore, except for friends, the staff below will be called "Your Excellency Osawa".

"what's up."

"The General Tax Office was surrounded by the Chinese police. They were outside asking to meet His Excellency Osawa."

"The Chinese police?"

Osawa Tani Ichiro opened his eyes wide.Then he said angrily: "Damn it. Are they going to come and seal up our General Taxation Department so soon? Who gave them the power. Let's go and have a look."

Osawatani Ichiro could no longer calm down his anger, it was completely intolerable.

Too annoying.

Weng Jingtang led people to raid Chongqing, Wanxian, Mengzi, and Jiujiang Customs, which made Osawaya Ichiro very angry, and now he came to the General Taxation Office.

So he walked straight out the door.

The Japanese police from the General Taxation Department followed immediately.When the door was opened, Osawaya Ichiro saw several familiar people.It has been almost two years since Ichiro Osawatani took over the position of the General Taxation Department of China Customs, and he is familiar with some high-level officials in the Beijing government.

There are four people standing in the front.

Walking in the middle is Jiang Hongyu, Chief of the Cabinet Department of Internal Affairs, walking on the first side on the left is You Min, Chief of the Police Department, on the right is Dong Songyan, Commander of the Beijing Garrison, and walking on You Min's left is the former Chinese businessman who often comes to the customs. Kang Xinru, General Manager of Shanghai Branch of Bank (adapted from Southwest Commercial Bank).

Behind them is a line of police.

Osawaya Ichiro looked around again, and found that there were still soldiers in military uniforms.

"President Jiang, President You, General Dong, what do you mean? Are you going to start a war with our Great Japanese Empire?"

Osawaya Ichiro came angrily in front of Jiang Hongyu, You Min and Dong Songyan.

Damn it.

Where is this place?

This is the General Taxation Office.Since the birth of this yamen, it has been controlled by the great powers.And the Chinese government has been begging this Yamen for money. When will the Chinese government dare to send troops and police here.

Now here is their own home, controlled by Japan.

There are so many policemen and some troops here, what do you want to do?

"Mr. Ichiro Osawaya."

Jiang Hongyu looked calm, completely ignoring Osawaya Ichiro's anger.Called Ichiro Osawa in a very calm voice, and then said: "After the decision of the cabinet meeting of the Republic of China, in view of the serious financial problems of Jiujiang Customs, Mengzi Customs, Chongqing Customs, and Wanxian Branch of Chongqing Customs, it is determined that the Chinese Customs Ichiro Osawatani of the General Taxation Department has serious dereliction of duty and must be held accountable. Therefore, during the investigation of customs finances by the General Prosecutor's Office, Ichiro Osawatani was suspended from the position of the General Taxation Department of China Customs and the duties of the taxation departments of various customs across the country, and their subordinates All the positions of the Deputy Taxation Department. The position of the General Taxation Department of China Customs will be temporarily taken over by Kang Xinru. Each Customs Taxation Department will have a new temporary Customs General Taxation Department temporarily appointed."

"Bastard, bastard."

Osawa Tani Ichiro is completely insane.

say what?
