Bai Furen was indignant in his heart, and wanted revenge and continued to murder Wang Zhizheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Wang Zhizheng was not in the mood to entangle with this child, as soon as he recovered, he was busy increasing the functions of the "Commercial Tax Department", and then tried to find a way to annex the commercial streets of Sun and Liu!

Wang Zhizheng has been like a workaholic recently, he has not mentioned the assassination again, he wrapped gauze, sat in the study, and negotiated with Chen Zilong, Huang Zongxi, the surrounding area, and Ruan Dacheng to integrate the specific matters of the "Commercial Tax Division"!

The assassination of Wang Zhizheng reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen through the command of Jinyiwei Wang Liangfu.

Emperor Chongzhen Long Yan was furious, and immediately sent Wang Liangfu to Jinling with Jinyiwei to volunteer Wang Zhizheng, and when necessary, he could take extraordinary measures against Bai Furen!

The so-called "extraordinary means" is assassination! The emperor is not a last resort, he will not do this, it can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen is in a hurry!

When Ryosuke came to Jinling, it can be said that Wang Zhizheng was like a tiger with wings.

When the news that Wang Liangfu was about to come to Jinling reached Yanyulou, Wang Zhizheng laughed happily. Huang Zongxi also said happily: "As soon as Brother Liangfu comes, our old forbidden army will get together again, when will I have time to transfer Jiang Nai, Lao Xie, and Cui Shun over again!" ”

Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "Forget Jiang Nai, hehe, the defense of the entire Jingshi depends on him, but we can't let him get involved in our affairs, but Xie Zhenglong and Cui Shun haven't gotten together for nearly a year, and I really miss it!" ”

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "I want to see it, it's done, it's done, go back to Beijing, let's get together and drink!" ”

Chen Zilong asked with a smile: "General Wang Liangfu, it is said that he is the third son of the former minister of the Liaodong Jingluo King, who once fought with the Tartars in Guan, and his reputation is famous!" ”

Huang Zongxi laughed and said: "You only know that Wang Liangfu is the son of Wang Zhichen, but you don't know that Liangfu is also the nephew of Hou Ye!" When I was in Beijing, I was listed as a rebel by Wei Zhongxian, and in order to cover up my identity, I once turned into the nephew of Chongguo Gong, Wang Zhiyi, and Liangfu had to call me a twelve-uncle! ”

Huang Zongxi said, and everyone laughed!

Wang Zhizheng pointed at Huang Zongxi and said, "You kid, if you hadn't given you the identity of my cousin, you would have been cut off by Wei Zhongxian a long time ago!" ”

Huang Zongxi touched his neck and said chicly: "Brother, my head melon grows well, but I don't know how many other people's head melons have been cut off in recent years!" ”

The crowd laughed again.

After the joke, Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said: "Jokes are jokes, and we have to talk about business." During the trial opening of the Commercial Tax Division, Chen Zilong and Zhou Cheng really grasped many problems, and now they have to be solved one by one! ”

Wang Zhizheng snapped his fingers and said, "First, the merchant is making a profit. Because we have always drawn silver tickets by dividing fifty percent of the shares, these bosses are very smart, except for a few honest ones, the rest have made false accounts, made the accounts into losses, and hid the real account books under the bedside to see for themselves. Second, for some small vendors, such as selling flatbread and handicrafts, the annual harvest is only a few hundred or thousands of taels of silver, and taking 50% of the harvest will affect their normal life. Third, there are still merchants who resist taxes, and there are no tax resistance in Qinhuaihe, but there are more than 30 merchants in Beicheng who resist taxes. Fourth, the black hands behind the scenes are still collecting money, the commercial street near the Jinjiaguan, there are still black hands collecting money, to put it bluntly, there are still some forces extortion, these small forces in Jinling City are not cleared, we will not be able to gain a firm foothold. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhizheng glanced at everyone, then stretched out his finger and said: "For the first, merchants conceal profits, I have discussed a new tax law with Zilong, where the scale is more than fifteen acres, each household will take a fixed amount of five thousand taels every four months, regardless of whether you make a profit or a loss." This lays a foundation for the commission to change taxes. Some merchants may say, we lose money, how to pay business tax, my statement is that Jinling City does not allow unprofitable merchants, if four months do not make a profit, the industry unconditionally returned to the imperial court to operate! And you have to pay your taxes in full! Second, small traders, itinerant vendors, collect a fixed tax of 100 taels every four months, so that it is only 300 taels a year, and this silver ticket does not pose a pressure on their lives. Third, tax resistance. This problem must be solved, and if this problem is not solved, the commercial tax will not be collected! The heavy method must be used in the early stage! For the first tax period [four months], if the delay is not up to 5 days, the warning, after the delay of 5 days, the fine will be increased by 1,000 taels per day, and after 10 days, the fine will be increased by 10,000 taels per day. When the fine reaches 50,000 taels, he will be exiled directly! Property confiscation! Resist taxes by violent means, be punished as an anti-party, and directly encircle and suppress! Fourth, the behind-the-scenes grasp of covert charges! This is also an obstacle for us, for this group of people, we will use 16 days from the first day of the next month to the sixteenth, to allow them to surrender, all who take the initiative to surrender, will be returned to the arsenal camp, we will take care of food and housing! As soon as the sixteen days have passed, the mastermind behind the scenes will be directly executed on the spot after being caught! Whether it is the first evil or coercion, they will be executed! The first evil is Ling Chi! Decapitated on the spot! ”

Wang Zhizheng said, looked at Huang Zongxi and Zheng Lie and said: "It depends on your ability, if there is a merchant who reports, and there is a behind-the-scenes person who asks for money from the merchant and threatens to extort it, immediately send to protect the merchant, and then arrest the criminal as quickly as possible, and pull it to the West Street Square to execute on the spot to set an example!" ”

Huang Zongxi and Zheng Lie bowed their hands and said: "Please rest assured, Master Hou, we will definitely do our duty!" ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded, and then said: "Zheng Lie is responsible for warning and dealing with the merchants who resist taxes, and if necessary, ask Huang Zongxi to deal with them in the name of Lord Ruan!" Lord Ruan has the authority to deal with it, and we can't give it to others! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhizheng stood up, then walked around the big study, turned around and said: "For merchants with special contributions, their taxes can be appropriately reduced, such as Yanyu Building, first, we use their venues, and secondly, the owner of Yanyu Building, Bian Liujie, also has a life-saving grace for me, this kind of merchant can be commended and reduced its taxes for four months!" ”

Wang Zhizheng stretched out his finger and said: "In addition, there are several situations that can be relieved: first, if you pay taxes more than 15 days in advance, you can be reduced by 10%, second, if you report a black hand, you can be reduced by four months, and third, in wartime, donate money and food, and you can be reduced by 4 to 8 months!" Fourth, if the family members work in the Commercial Tax Department and the Arsenal Battalion, they can reduce their taxes for a long time! Fifth, during the recruitment period, soldiers and horses can be organized to recruit on their behalf, and every 100 soldiers can be exempted from taxes for four months! Sixth, family members of martyrs who died in the war can be reduced by 10% of the tax for many years! ”

Wang Zhizheng's thinking was clear, the export was written, and after the various systems were precisely said, Chen Zilong quickly put pen to paper!
