Chapter 15 The provinces shall determine themselves

Hua Wang: "I have drawn up an excerpt, submitted it again, and approved it as soon as possible." The provinces are declaring first, and the port will be set early next year, and it will be officially launched in October. Twin Islands, it can be implemented, and some results can be seen in this year. However, the collection of taxes and fees, including coordination, is the responsibility of customs, administration, and maritime affairs? ”

The customs yamen is under the responsibility of Li Huaqian, responsible for import and export, customs taxes and fees, etc.;

Buzheng Yamen, a new unit, after the restructuring of the national system, was divided into civil affairs functions by the Ministry of Household (the finance and civil affairs of the provinces have been separated), and the General Administration of the Government was established in the political hall to manage civil affairs in various places in a unified manner, but the newly established General Administration of the Government was responsible for the Civil Affairs Coordination Department of the Cabinet, which represented Mohage;

The Maritime Affairs Yamen is a subordinate department of the Political Affairs Hall, and is now under the responsibility of Hua Tianxiong, which is essentially responsible for the affairs of the other two institutions.

When King Hua said this, he was actually asking, Mo Haige, Li Huaqian, Hua Tianxiong, who of you is responsible?

Mo Haige: "It stands to reason that this matter involves customs and taxation, and the twin islands have a one-year trial, so it is better to let the customs come forward to grasp it for a year to see if there can be results, after all, it is still a customs errand in the end." In other places, the matter of declaration, customs, administration, and maritime affairs may come forward to exploit at various levels, accept bribes, and so on, and it is recommended that the customs should also be held responsible, especially the four military and political cooperation provinces, and the customs will not come forward, and this matter cannot be done. ”

Mo Haige pushed the matter to Li Huaqian along with the money.

Li Huaqian: "What Taifu said is reasonable, the twin islands are tried in one place, and our customs supervision is enough, and the implementation of this new policy still needs the leadership of the provinces." ”

Li Huaqian agreed to collect the money himself, and the matter was pushed to Mo Haige.

Mo Haige ignored this stubble, and said directly: "Tianxiong, you can also talk about it." ”

Hua Tianxiong: "Since His Majesty set up the customs and maritime affairs, it was said that the customs was in charge of the scale, and the maritime affairs were in practice. ”

Li Huaqian: "This matter, look at the opinion of the political hall, after all, it is not a moment, you just said clearly, porcelain, cloth, wild animal skins and other items are different, how much fare, how to declare, are all details, the customs side is to put it bluntly is to manage a checkpoint, the specific need for Tianxiong to go back and write clearly, when the time comes, several families will work together to solve problems for His Majesty and King Hua, His Royal Highness King Hua, what do you see?" ”

Li Huaqian found that Mo Haige did not accept it, so he pushed it to Hua Tianxiong.

King Hua knows too well in his heart that these "Tai Chi" masters will not necessarily land for a day with beautiful words.

Everyone in the political committee doesn't want to find trouble for themselves, after all, this involves taxes and fees, no matter how much the department is involved, it will be full of how many interests, in case it is involved, it is a 'pigtail', and this 'pigtail' is very likely to make itself doomed.

Just as the outsiders were about to come in, King Hua said, "But He Changshi has come back, and let's come recently." ”

As soon as He Changshou entered the door, Li Huaqian said, "How much is there left?" ”

"20 million and 7,380,000 taels, it just so happens that Dongwen Province has given a part of the external reimbursement to the account, so it is better to talk to Portugal and delay for a while." He Changzhi asked.

Li Huaqian: "Alas, the external compensation, send it to Portugal, it won't be delayed for long." Taifu has just set the tone, you go back and find out. Shu Yu Chang Shi, what will Your Majesty want, you can say. ”

Mohag: "Slow, this tax collection has not yet been sorted out. Hua Tianxiong, just now Hua Qian asked you to give an opinion, but you haven't said it yet. ”

At this moment, Mo Haige is ready to get windy, and see how Hua Tianxiong lit this fire.

Hua Tianxiong, of course, understood that Mo Haige was not satisfied with the money going to Li Huaqian and the matter on his head, so he explained: "After all, it is a local matter, and I think it is more appropriate for the civil affairs of various places to come forward to declare the matter. ”

Hua Tianxiong gave the money to Mo Haige, and the matter to Li Huaqian.

Mo Haige hurriedly continued: "It's smooth, it should be considered, the minister still has a discussion, the port managed by the Maritime Affairs Department in the palace will be included in the plan for next year's tax refund port, and don't pay any declaration fees, after all, it is a royal port, and it bears the food and clothing in the palace, you see, His Royal Highness King Hua?" ”

King Hua first glanced at Li Huaqian's face, and saw that Li Huaqian's eyes changed slightly, and then said, "What Taifu said is very true. Premier Hua, whether it is customs, politics, or maritime affairs, they are nominally under the political hall, and I have to bother you to write an excerpt. I suggest that Customs be in charge of the Twin Islands pilot for a year first. As for the declaration, the civil affairs of each province shall declare to the customs yamen, and the civil affairs of the provinces shall also reformulate the customs tax and fee proposals of each province and submit them to the customs yamen for approval. The declaration fee shall be put into the state treasury by the household department in a special account. As for the refund and the rest of the situation, the customs yamen is responsible. As for the maritime affairs yamen, it cooperates with the customs yamen to manage and supervise the private port. After a year, depending on the situation, the discussion will be repeated. What do you think? ”

"Your Highness agrees." Mohag said.

After King Hua finished speaking, Li Huaqian was a little unnatural, so he said: "Your Highness, Taifu, I am thinking about whether it will be more lenient if the provinces are responsible, after all, the proportion of taxes and fees is determined by the provinces themselves, why not just let them decide according to their own discretion, we only need to draw taxes according to the proportion." ”

Hua Wang: "Each province is self-determined? ”

Li Huaqian: "Yes, we don't want to manage so much, the provinces give autonomy and let them change their own, after all, the provinces know the situation better than the imperial court, and finally go to the three departments of maritime affairs, administration, and customs to prepare cases." For regulatory matters, the customs is responsible for taxation, and as for the declaration and approval, the provinces are responsible for it, and the provinces identify themselves. ”

After hearing this, King Hua also understood that Li Huaqian was unwilling to do these things, so he simply pushed them all to the provinces that were not present, and he was only responsible for raising taxes by taking profits, which was logical.

Huawang: "We still have to supervise for a year, let the customs supervise for a year, there will be no major problems this year, and we will handle it according to Huaqian Da in the future." ”

Mo Haige: "Let Tianxiong draw it up, and we will all sign it together, which is feasible." After speaking, he paused and said: "The affairs of the private port still need the military government to come forward, and with the two anti-smuggling ships of customs and maritime affairs, the strength is still small, right?" ”

Li Huaqian: "What Taifu said is, I don't know if Marshal Mo agrees?" ”

Mo Hu: "I don't count what I said about the sea, Taifu agrees, just do it." ”

Wu Peihang heard Mo Hu's unhappiness, Zhongshan's old Cantonese army's article "Within five years, the military government will not interfere in the personnel transfer order of the Central Fleet" was fought for by Taifu, and this matter has always been a thorn in Mo Hu's heart.

Of course, Wu Peihang didn't want Mo Hu to bring up the old matter again, so he overshadowed Mo Hu's words in a loud voice and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Mo Hu frowned and didn't say anything more.

Mo Haige said in a generous voice: "Shu Changshi, continue to announce the decree." ”
