The face of the official of the tax bureau changed slightly, and he surrounded Zhao Sanjing with an ugly expression. ☆ After Liu Guangyao finished ordering, he looked at Zhao Sanjing, who looked a little flustered, and said, "Six taels, such a bribe, it is no problem to sentence you to half a year." ” Zhao Sanjing was already panicking, his hand behind his back waved again and again, and a small guy not far away slipped away quickly.
Liu Guangyao didn't seem to see it, looked around again, and said in a flat tone, "You shouldn't have filed with the Bureau of Commerce, and you haven't paid taxes, this is not just tax evasion, but illegal operation, I can seal your factory now and arrest you back." ” Zhao Sanjing's expression was stiff, his eyes flickered for a while, and he suddenly raised his hand and said: "My lord, villains are all small businesses, I don't know which way I offended, and I ask my lord to show me the way, and I will thank you heavily." ” Liu Guangyao's expression was slightly cold, this Zhao Sanjing really doesn't know how to lift, come to the old way!
Liu Guangyao directly took out a piece of paper, stuffed it and said, "This is a rectification order, within three days, all the procedures must be completed, and if you can't do it within three days, the factory will be closed, people will be arrested, and all assets will be confiscated." ” Zhao Sanjing listened to the fact that there were still three days, and his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Lord Xie, Lord Xie." ” Liu Guangyao looked cold and said: "Bring all the materials, the master himself will go, the title deed, workers, salaries, account books, information on transactions, etc., and prepare the fine." ” Zhao Sanjing listened to the words in front of him, and his heart tightened when he said the word 'fine', and said, "My lord, how much is the fine?"
” Liu Guangyao looked up at their factory, occupied an area, and said, "Look at your scale, output, sales, and profitability, plus punitive fines, prepare a thousand taels." ” Zhao Sanjing's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "One thousand taels!?"
” Liu Guangyao had already turned around and left, and said, "This is estimated, one day late will be fined one more day, go early."
Let's go, next. ” Zhao Sanjing looked at Liu Guangyao's back, frowned, and suddenly ran behind him.
At this time, a young man hurriedly ran in from the back door, grabbed him and asked, "How is it, what is the situation?"
” Zhao Sanjing was also anxious, and said: "Third young master, they said that we did not file a record, evaded taxes, and asked us to register, make up taxes, and there is also a fine of 1,000 taels." ” Zhao Sanjing thought that the third young master would be furious, but the third young master just frowned, nodded, and said nothing with a solemn face.
Zhao Sanjing's heart moved, and said, "Third Young Master, other places?"
” The third young master glanced up at him, did not hide it, and said: "I just came from the ploughing workshop, and the Commerce Bureau came to the door, because we did not file for the record, and we were suspected of illegal operation, and the workshop has been sealed, and a fine of three hundred taels was issued on the spot." ” Zhao Sanjing's eyes widened, don't look at the number of three hundred taels is not big, the key is that they are investing a lot of money now, and the imperial court has not yet acquired it, in fact, they have been losing money, waiting for time.
This time it's 1,300 taels, which is not a small number no matter how you look at it.
Zhao Mitsui knew that it was troublesome, the government was serious this time, the Bureau of Commerce, the Taxation Bureau, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Price Bureau, etc., all acted together, clearly to kill them!
Their master's family has a big business, and such a 'fine silver' will definitely not be less, who can be willing to go out so much for nothing?
Zhao Sanjing thought for a while and said, "Third Young Master, does the master know over there?"
” The third young master sat on the chair, frowned, and said, "I know, my eldest brother is in the prefect's yamen, but the prefect's yamen said that he can't manage these departments, which is what the above means." ” The Commerce Bureau, the Price Bureau, the Law Enforcement Bureau, and the Taxation Bureau are basically the imperial court, and the local dual management, coupled with the needs of the 'New Deal' now, the local government does not dare to interfere, so in fact, the imperial court is still in charge vertically.
Zhao Sanjing listened, his mind was spinning, and he said: "Then can you take the relationship above, not to mention the fine, the annual tax is nearly 20%, but it is not a small number, let's talk about it, the other adults will definitely be unhappy." ” In the past, there was no commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty, or a symbolic point, but now the policy is that one size fits all, 19% of the profits.
This is a lot of silver, who doesn't feel distressed, who is willing to give?
The third young master naturally didn't want to give it out, listening to Zhao Sanjing's words, his brows furrowed even tighter, and said: "Now the wind is too tight, the court is very pressed, no one dares to speak on these new yamen, if one is not good, plant it in, deal with it first, and see the direction of the wind." ” Zhao Sanjing listened, and could only nod.
Now that the imperial court has changed greatly, all kinds of reform slogans are shouting to the sky, and neither the officials nor the big people dare to touch their heads, and can only lament that the world has really changed.
In an instant, Zhao Sanjing was in a restrained mood, and said solemnly: "Then, what about our business?"
Is it to continue to expand?
The capital requires us to build at least ten factories. ” The third young master had a headache when he heard it, took a sip of tea, and was silent.
The statement in the capital is that it is guaranteed to make a lot of money, and the fertilizer factory can also make money slowly in the future, not a one-time thing.
It stands to reason that this is a good deal, but the imperial court has not yet started purchasing, not only do they have to invest a lot of money to buy land, build factories, labor, materials, and now they have to pay taxes, this day is all silver, how dare they continue to expand?
Zhao Sanjing knew the risk, hesitated to step forward, and said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, is it reliable over there in the capital?"
We can't be someone else's ladder over the wall. ” The third young master glanced up at him, looking hesitant, but in fact, he didn't know.
I only know that some big people in the capital are manipulating, who they are and how sure they are, they don't know.
Zhao Sanjing didn't say anything more after ordering, and instead said: "Tomorrow, the little ones will go to the yamen to run and get things done, and the third young master has to find a way to make a point, and if he can do less, he will still have to come out less." ” The third young master stood up and said, "Well, I'll go and inquire about the news first and find a way." ” With that, the two went their separate ways.
This kind of thing happened almost in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The top-down pressure of the cabinet has penetrated into the corners of the Ming Dynasty through the departments that can be controlled.
If there is pressure, there will naturally be a rebound, and if there is no pressure, it will go from the bottom up and go up to the imperial court.
Zhang Bingwen, the head of the household department, has received a number of transcripts or private messages from local officials at all levels, all of which are 'worried' about the recent actions of the State Administration of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Criminal Prison Department, and the Price Bureau.
They thought that the actions of these yamen were arrogant, without any law and moderation, and they did not care about the dignity of the imperial court at all—'wantonly plundering merchants is more than extortion', 'coercion and inducement, where is the system?'
''Officials at all levels are unruly, ignoring the royal law, disrespecting officials, chasing the smell of copper, where will they lead the people?'
’…… He Jingqiu, the head of the household, came in and said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that the actions of the cabinet have worked. ” Zhang Bingwen put these recitals and private messages aside, thought for a moment, and said: "Master Li's side is in full swing, we can't stop, how is the measurement of the team?"
” Most of the 'official fields' in the hands of the Ming Dynasty were in the hands of the household department, even if they were acquired by the royal trading group, they were nominally transferred to the Qingtian special group, but most of the functions were still to be undertaken by the household department.
He Jingqiu said in a deep voice: "It's ready, three hundred people, ten measurement teams, can set off at any time." ”
