Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Shi Tianyu.

Yue'er said: "Dai Kun is nothing, my brother is still the general of Longting! Humph! Kill a corrupt official like Jinshi, he comes to eat, we do the work, are we his servants?"

At a young age, he is very domineering.

Shi Tianyu stood up and said angrily: "Pan Dong, Chen Biao, and Song Ziqing, the three of you, immediately go and call the heads of the Tax Department, Tea Inspection Office, Salt Inspection Office, and Iron Smelting Office respectively."

~~

Pan Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, it's so late at night, is it okay?"

Tang Guan waved his hand and said: "What can't be done? Don't forget, the county magistrate is in charge of the administration of a county, including taxation, yellow registration and accounting." Song Ziqing, Chen Biao, Pan Dong and others quickly turned around to call the tax collectors. .

Shi Tianyu asked Zhang Hui to make a cup of good Longjing tea for everyone.

Tonight, everyone has to stay up late.

Everyone drank fragrant tea and waited in the court for the heads of the tax department, tea batch office, salt batch office, and iron smelting office to come over.

~~

After a while, Zhang Ming, a clerk from the Tax Department, came with a stack of account books and an abacus.

Zhang Ming, sleepy-eyed and disheveled, came to the court, bowed to Shi Tianyu, and said, "Sir, it's so late and you still call this villain over. What's the matter?"

At this time, Pan Dong came back to report and said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, the heads of the Iron Smelting Institute and the Salt and Tea Laboratory are not at home."

Shi Tianyu waved his hand towards Pan Dong, then turned to ask Zhang Ming: "Zhang Ming, you and the small officials from the Taxation Department, the Iron Metallurgy Department, the Tea Batch Department, and the Salt Batch Department are in the same industry, and they can be regarded as colleagues. There should be some contact between you. Do you know where they are going?"

~~

Zhang Ming quickly bowed and replied: "Master Shi, the head of the Iron Smelting Institute is very happy. He often goes to the Iron Smelting Mountain on the outskirts of the city. He has built a villa there and has many beauties. Salt batching laboratory, tea batching laboratory The head of the office has a good relationship with the wealthy businessmen Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu, and they often go to Shenggelou at night."

Shi Tianyu was furious when he heard this and cursed: "Damn it! Gu Xiang hasn't finished taxing this year yet, but they are doing nothing. Zhang Ming, can Shengge Tower pay the tax in full? From now on, I will check the tax. All agencies within Guxiang must obey my unified orders to act. Otherwise, I will kill them all."

Zhang Ming was frightened and trembling, and quickly bowed and replied: "Master Shi, Shengge Tower never pays taxes."

~~

Tang Guan, Chen Biao and others had angry faces and shouted in unison: "Why?"

Zhang Ming looked mournful, bowed and replied: "Xiang Zhong, the shopkeeper of Shengge Tower, is the nephew of Mr. Xiang Laixiang, a colleague in charge of finance in Fucheng. He approved a note to Mr. Xiang Xiang, a low-ranking official, saying that the world is not good, and Shengge Tower has been losing money all year round. Taxes Most of the fees are waived, and I only pay one tael of silver every year to show off."

~~

Zhu Xiang took over the conversation and said, "It involves Xiang Laixiang. This is not something to be trifled with."

Shi Tianyu knew that Zhu Xiang was using the provoking method, so he said coldly: "It's not easy to provoke, but it must be provoked. Let's listen to Zhang Ming's briefing first. I am now the General of Longting, and many people may not understand it. This identity of mine.

What is Dragon Court? The Dragon Court is the Golden Palace, where civil and military officials gather.

General Longting is responsible for maintaining the safety of the Golden Palace, including the safety of money.

How can you provide salaries to civil and military officials if you don’t have money? How can the palace run without money?

Don’t the Long Live Lord and the Queen need to eat? Do you really think I am just a small county magistrate? "

~~

Everyone's hearts suddenly trembled, and they suddenly understood that Shi Tianyu had the emperor's backing.

All of a sudden, the county government officials were all confident.

Zhu Xiang felt confident, and then he turned sideways and asked Zhang Ming: "How many taels of silver does our Guxiang County have to pay to the court in taxes this year? How many taels of silver are we still short of?"

Of course, I asked this intentionally.

~~

Zhang Ming was an honest man, and he quickly turned sideways and said to Zhu Xiang: "Return to Lord Zhu Bo, which is equivalent to taels of silver. The whole year is 28,000 taels of silver. In view of the fact that the money and food paid by the rich people in the past have been paid by Mr. Shi." It was ordered to be distributed to the 100,000 people who renovated the old city, and the Tax Department also advanced two thousand taels of silver. Therefore, the tax owed to the court by Gu Xiang this year is actually thirty thousand taels of silver."

Shi Tianyu rolled his eyes and said, "What other wealthy people and wealthy businessmen have not paid taxes or paid less taxes?"

~~

Zhang Ming came back one by one with all his family treasures: "Master Shi, the city is headed by two Yin merchants, Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu. They only pay taxes totaling twenty taels of silver every year, just to show off. In addition, there are various inns and gold shops. , the shopkeeper of the hotel did not pay much tax. Outside the city were two wealthy businessmen, Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai, who did not pay any tax. It is said that the real richest man in Sichuan should be Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai. Just The taxes these two people have not paid for more than ten years are enough to cover Yao Luyang's savings."

Tang Guan, Pan Dong and others were very angry and asked in unison: "Why?"

~~

Zhang Ming said in embarrassment: "Before, Han Jin and Wang Cai greeted the two thieves, Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu each paid ten taels of silver as tax. As for the other shopkeepers, they said that the public order was not good. There are always gangsters robbing them, and they also say that the government officials always come to their stores to eat and drink, and they can’t make money for a long time.”

Shi Tianyu said angrily: "Then why don't Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai pay taxes?"

Zhang Mingdan shed tears sadly when he heard this and said with choked sobs: "Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai are iron smelters. They have supported Ambassador Gao Deshuang of the Iron Smelting Institute for a long time. They also supplied weapons to the garrison and were supported by the garrison. One of my humble legs is disabled because of these two."

After that, he lifted up his pants again and showed Tang Guan and others the scars on his thighs.

~~

When everyone came forward to take a look, they all screamed.

Yue'er also came closer to take a look, and exclaimed: "Wow! Isn't it? Are these two profiteers, Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai, so vicious? They dented Uncle Zhang's bones."

~~

Snapped!

Shi Tianyu picked up the gavel and slapped it on the desk.

Everyone was silent and stood still.

Shi Tianyu said angrily: "Zhang Ming, okay, I understand this matter and will give you justice in the future. Can you tell me, how much tax should each of them pay? And those rich people still have to pay back taxes If they make up for it, how much tax will they be able to pay by the end of the year? Will it be enough to meet our Guxiang's mission in the next five years?"

When everyone heard that it was the tax task for the next five years, they all felt shocked.

~~

Zhang Ming picked up the abacus, started calculations, and said, "Sir, Jiang Zaixing has opened three teahouses and a bank in the city. According to the tax, he has to pay one thousand five hundred taels of silver a year. There are two families with more money. According to the tax amount, he should pay five thousand taels of silver a year for a gold shop, a Jiyuan, and five salt villages."

As he spoke, he flipped the compass.

~~

Song Ziqing said angrily: "Aren't Qian Youyu and Jiang Zaixing evading taxes? The two of them alone paid 6,500 taels less in one year. Isn't that 65,000 taels in ten years? ?”

Zhang Ming continued to provide information and said: "Fang Zhiqiang from the south of the city is the nephew of Jiangchuan County Magistrate Fang Shizhong. The two thieves Han Jin and Wang Cai turned a blind eye to him in the past. Therefore, the rent of the wet market, stalls Fang Zhiqiang collects all the fees. Let me estimate that if we take the three big markets back to the county government and manage them, we can collect taxes and fees of 1,700 taels a year."
