Valley Emperor

When he returned to his home after a long absence, Chen Lifu didn't have much time to spend with his family. When he arrived home, he met several important subordinates in his study.

He simply listened to the affairs of the inspection office during the period of his absence.

In fact, there have been no major incidents in the inspection department recently. After Chen Lifu's two years of rectification, the inspection department has already become regular.

Of the more than 70 tax inspectors under the Inspection Office, most of them are inspecting local areas. The only thing worth mentioning is that the overseas Ryukyu Prefecture also has tax problems.

Ryukyu Prefecture is an important transit point for the sea route from China to Fusang, and maritime trade is its lifeblood, and it has brought huge wealth to it. In the process, some serious tax problems have arisen.

In the nine years of Xuanping, the tax collected by the Ryukyu Prefecture was only 70% of the estimated amount by the Ministry of Taxation!

Especially in Dayu County, the northernmost part of Ryukyu Prefecture, which has just been established for more than a year, the tax collected by Xuanping for the whole year of the ninth year is only a pitiful 10,000 taels of silver!

This is definitely problematic!

Although Dayu County has just been established for more than a year and is located overseas, with a total resident population of several thousand people, Dayu County has never been an area that relies on agriculture or other general industrial exhibitions. It is only a short distance from Fusang Kyushu Island. Just separated by a Dayu Strait, it is one of the most important ports in the Tang Dynasty's trade with Fusang in the past year.

Such an important place only collects more than 10,000 taels of tax in a year, and a hundred people in the tax department do not believe it.

You must know that ordinary agricultural counties in China, even low-level counties, can collect tens of thousands of taels of silver in taxes every year.

It makes no sense that Dayu County is inferior to these inferior counties!

Everyone in the tax department is very shrewd. As soon as they see the tax figures reported by the Ryukyu government, they don't care if there are any problems with the account books, and they don't care what method you use to hide from the sky. a little:

"If an important transit point for maritime trade such as Ryukyu Prefecture cannot collect 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver a year, then there must be a problem!"

So when they saw this number, they immediately concluded that there must be a tax problem in Ryukyu Prefecture, and immediately sent a tax inspector to Ryukyu Prefecture to rectify the local taxation.

Chen Lifu nodded slightly after listening, but didn't say much. There are tax issues in the local area, which is normal. If not, then their inspection office can be revoked.

Tax collection has always been a contradiction. The tax department has to complete its task, while the landowners and businessmen on the ground are trying their best to evade and evade taxes, and even win local officials into the water.

Whenever this happens, what the inspection office needs to do is to send out tax inspections and then clean up the local tax!

Occasionally, local landlords, businessmen and officials colluded, and they kept secrets in the face of tax inspections, and even engaged in turmoil.

For the sake of local stability, for the sake of the people of Dawn, ask the superiors to withdraw the tax inspector, etc., or simply frame it!

Whenever this is the time, it is the time when the inspection department starts a killing spree!

The tax department doesn't care if your place is stable or not. Besides, tax evasion is either a big landlord or a big businessman, or an official who misbehaves and misappropriates the tax money. As for ordinary people, they are not eligible for tax evasion.

Therefore, tax inspection officials often directly use the tax inspection team. If the local ones cannot be used, they will temporarily mobilize those from other places. It is really not feasible. It is also possible to ask the local garrison for help.

Those landlords and businessmen and the local corrupt officials are naturally first-class in their conspiracy and tricks on weekdays, and the local relationship is complicated, and it is not easy to find out the evidence.

However, the tax inspectors don't play this trick with them at all, and often go straight to the gun!

What is an investigation?

That is, after sending troops to encircle, they will directly search with a search warrant, and if they find evidence, they will arrest people on the spot. As for resistance, it is even better. They are too lazy to find evidence, and they start to attack!

Armed tax resistance is regarded as conspiracy!

The tax department is so unreasonable!

The current situation is that, in the empire, if you want small-scale tax evasion and tax evasion, there is naturally no way to prohibit it, but if you want large-scale tax evasion and tax evasion, it is unlikely.

Because the Ministry of Taxation can obtain a lot of data, the accounts of major banks including the Royal Bank are open to taxation, and they can also access the data of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments.

They have their own set of methods to calculate how much tax a certain place can collect every year. They first look at the tax in previous years, then look at the local agricultural, industrial and commercial development, and then look at the capital flow of the local bank, and then calculate a rough estimate. interval.

Anything outside this range will often attract the attention of the inspection department, and then dispatch tax inspectors to investigate.

If the tax inspector sent in the past can't find out the problem, it's okay, they will send another one. As for the tax inspector who can't find out the problem, it will not end well, either it is corroded or incompetent. , and both of them will end up miserably.

If the tax inspectors sent in the past still can't find the problem, then basically this matter will enter Chen Lifu's sight, and then the tax inspector of the level of the deputy director of the inspection department of the fifth grade will be dispatched. If there is a problem, then basically this matter can be stabbed in front of Qian Yu.

Because this represents a big problem, the tax department is expected to change the local tax system from scratch, conduct a thorough investigation of the local landlords and businesses, and then greet the personnel department and ask them to change the local tax system. Officials are also changed from head to toe!

They don't believe that they can't figure out the problem. When the problem is found, then even if it's time to calculate the general ledger, it's a must!

As for the local tax is really no problem?

Nonsense, no matter what other people say, but people from the tax department will definitely not believe it!

Therefore, no matter how the local government hides it, in fact, it cannot escape the supervision of the Ministry of Taxation!

Because people don't care about your account books at all, they only focus on the local economic development and bank flow. In a government with a good economic situation, there is no corresponding increase in tax revenue. If there is no problem here, the tax department will People dare to hang themselves collectively!

The people in the tax department are very clear that tax evasion and evasion is the root of human evil, and it cannot be completely eliminated!

To prevent this situation, it is impossible to expect people to consciously avoid tax evasion and evasion.

Tax evasion and evasion, like other crimes, also have costs.

In the current Datang Empire, the illegal cost of tax evasion and tax evasion is quite large, and it is often the case of looting the family and destroying the family. As for fines and arrests, it is light, but even so, it is difficult to completely eliminate it.

Because people these days, especially the big landowners and big businessmen in the local area, always feel that they are local snakes and can control everything. They can buy ordinary officials, tax officials, and even tax inspectors.

But these people don't know, the more they do it, the worse it gets!

No matter who they bought, no matter how beautiful the accounts were, but the tax department determined that the tax revenue in this place was low, it could not be collected, and the problem could not be found, then the matter was really serious at this time.

To provoke the tax department, people will indeed dispatch tax inspection teams from other places or even garrison troops to help, and then surround the homes of potential suspects such as big landlords and big businessmen, and conduct a carpet search one by one.

At that time, they will even make a big fuss, and they will start arresting people for any big or small tax issue, and then they will slowly review them.

Basically, since the establishment of the Grain Collection Department of the Datang Tax Department, they have never encountered a situation where the tax they want to collect cannot be collected!

On the other hand, the Inspection Office wants to investigate whether a person has evaded or evaded taxes, but they have not tried to find out, because almost everyone's **** is not clean.

Many times the tax department actually turns a blind eye. As long as they don’t go too far, they don’t want to push too hard. They also want to take it slowly and boil a frog in warm water.

But you've gone too far, and they'll be able to find crucial evidence and send you to jail in minutes!

After all, there are not many people in this world who are rich and have lofty ideals like Chen Lifu!

Regarding the tax issue on the Ryukyu side, since he has already sent someone over, Chen Lifu has not intervened too much. Who the **** reported him.

Or the word who is not very appropriate, because this word represents an individual, it should be said which group of people reported themselves again!

The person who reports himself will definitely not be one person or two. There must be a gang and a force behind it.

Chen Lifu encountered this situation a lot. When he rectified the taxation of the timber industry in Xuanping’s eighth year, the businessmen in the timber industry joined dozens of court officials to challenge him. Needless to say, there is no need to report or impeach. He, a good official with all his heart for the people of Limin, was almost killed by an assassin's pistol.

After this incident, he just installed high-quality steel plates on his carriage to prevent him from assassinating him with a musket at the moment, and he even brought several personal attendants when he came in and out.

The name is a follower, but in fact it is a bodyguard.

That time, Chen Lifu was almost assassinated, and afterward it was naturally a big thunder!

And then, the timber industry of the empire has almost undergone a major change. The top dozen major timber merchants all fell overnight, and their families were severely raided. The best one was also fined and directly bankrupt! , the charges are very unified: tax evasion and tax evasion!

Those middle-ranked timber merchants, just like being smashed by a pie from the sky, took over the various resources and channels left by the original big timber merchants with a smile, and then became one of the largest timber merchants in the empire. .

Now, someone is playing and reporting himself, but he wants to see who is doing the trouble. After finding the identity of the enemy, he will not hesitate at all, and will directly attack the Thunder!

In his late years, many people are afraid that they will start to treat themselves as sick cats!
