Chapter 637, Taxation Commencement
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when most people in the capital were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, the entire household department in the capital began to become extremely busy.
"Hang Qisu, sent to Nanyang Crescent City, as the director of the Crescent City Taxation Bureau, from Qipin!"
"Fu Yichuan, sent to Ryukyu City, served as the director of the Ryukyu City Taxation Bureau, from Qipin~"
"Li Jingming, sent to Songhu, served as the director of the Songhu Taxation Bureau, from Qipin~"
"Wang Zhe, sent to Yinshan County, served as the director of the Yinshan County Taxation Bureau, from Qipin~"
"Ren Wenjia, sent to Tianjin, appointed as the director of the Tianjin Taxation Bureau, is the seventh product~"
"Ye Junchang, sent to Tianjin, served as the director of the Tianjin Municipal Department of Shipping, is the seventh product~"
“……”
With an official constantly reporting out one name after another, the face of the person who was read the name was happy or sad, which was xenophobic overseas, naturally one by one, like a mourner, not only far overseas, located in the barbarians, but more importantly, basically from the seven products.
As for those who were sent to Tianjin, Beijing, Nanjing, and other places, they were all full of smiles, these are all good places, and the key is that they are basically seven products.
Don't look at this from the seventh grade and the positive seventh grade are both seven grades, it seems that there is not much difference, but this is a level, it is definitely not an easy thing to be promoted from the seventh grade to the seventh grade, and many people may not be able to rise in their lifetime.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please keep in mind the responsibility on your shoulders, you are the first batch of tax officials in the sense of the Ming Dynasty, and your shoulders are related to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty."
"Taxes are taken from the people and used by the people."
"This is a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood and the country's society."
"Although you are still in a small official position, you can still contribute to the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty."
Liu Jin, who was dressed in a crimson robe, looked at the tax officials below who were about to be sent to various places in Daming, and could clearly see the joy and sorrow on their faces, and Liu Jin couldn't help but tell again.
In fact, in Liu Jin's view, sending them overseas is not a good thing.
Overseas, there is no deep-rooted force, and you can collect taxes as you want, and you don't have to worry about anything, but if it is in Tianjin, Beijing, Nanjing, and other places where powerful people gather, it is not so easy for you to collect taxes.
"Yes~"
When everyone heard this, they immediately responded respectfully.
After training and brainwashing at the end of last year, many people also deeply agreed with Liu Jin's words, this tax must be collected, because it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
If there is no tax, the imperial court will have no money, and naturally there will be no way to do great things, and if the army's combat effectiveness is low, it will be bullied by foreign enemies, and if the income of court officials is low, corruption will breed, and if the rich have money and do not pay taxes, and the poor will have no money to pay more taxes, which will lead to the intensification of social contradictions.
In short, the effect of brainwashing is still obvious, and many people also worship Liu Jinna, because Liu Jin put forward the theory that taxes are taken from the people and used by the people, so that everyone clearly understands the important role of taxation.
"Everyone do a good job, as long as you perform well, I will ask Your Majesty for a gift."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, and then did not forget to throw out a carrot that was still empty.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
For Liu Jin's words, everyone will not have the slightest doubt.
These people present are all lifting people, not Jinshi, and generally speaking, these people are all in charge of Bo, county, teaching, etc., that is, a small sesame official of eight grades.
But Liu Jin's side asked Emperor Hongzhi for hundreds of places, as long as he was the director, he was basically an official from the seventh grade, and in important places, he was an official from the seventh grade.
But the court appointed it, and it can't be faked.
This treatment is quite good, you must know that many Jinshi do not necessarily have the county order of the seventh grade for you to do at the beginning of the official, but they can start from the seventh grade and the seventh grade at once.
Therefore, everyone believes and believes what Liu Jin said, as long as he works hard and gets Liu Jin's appreciation, his career will be smooth in the future.
"Master Xie cultivate~"
Everyone thanked one after another, although many people were already thirty or forty years old, but Liu Jin was only in his twenties, but Liu Jin was now a third-grade master, which was far from being comparable to them.
"Go, tax the country well~"
Liu Jin nodded and said.
Soon, everyone rushed to various places with their fateful documents, official seals, and official offices to take office.
Of course, they are not going to take office alone, and the establishment of a tax bureau, in addition to the director, there are two deputy directors and a number of officials, and the personnel of the tax bureaus and municipal shipping departments in some important places are even larger.
For example, in Tianjin, Liu Jin's setting is relatively large, there are more than 10 officials here in the Tianjin Taxation Bureau, and there are more than 100 officials working below.
Tianjin Shipping Division is similar, there are many personnel, mainly considering that the business of Tianjin Port is very busy, there are many ships coming and going, each ship has to be taxed, there are not enough manpower, you have no way to complete the tax collection work.
…… The only Chinese network
On the cement road from Beijing to Tianjin, there is a lot of traffic and it is very busy.
In a four-wheeled carriage, Ren Wenjia was discussing with a few colleagues around him how to carry out tax collection after arriving in Tianjin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the task of our Tianjin Taxation Bureau is very heavy, and the task given to us above is to collect 10 million taels of silver in the fourteenth year of Hongzhi."
Ren Wenjia looked at Wang Jie, Zhang Fangting, Li Zong, and Xiao Ying beside him, these four people were all his deputies, and they were also the deputy directors of the newly established Tianjin Taxation Bureau, officials from Qipin.
"It's really too heavy, last year, our Daming annual tax silver was about six million taels, but the above actually gave us the task of 10 million taels of silver here in Tianjin."
Wang Jie couldn't help but nod his head, although Tianjin is rich, there are countless various trading houses, factories, workshops, etc., but it seems that it is still a bit fantastical to levy a tax of 10 million taels of silver.
"The task is heavy, but we have to complete it~"
"Lord Liu values us very much, that's why he put us in Tianjin, and we must not let them down."
Ren Wenjia said very solemnly, and when the others heard it, they also nodded.
The five of them are all relatively young, only in their forties (well, they are young among the old lifters), and now they are entrusted with important tasks, and they all want to do a big job.
"Let's talk about it, how should we carry out tax collection work in Tianjin?"
After thinking about it, Ren Wenjia also said: "The Beijing-Tianjin area is the most recent and the world's example, if our tax work in the Beijing-Tianjin area can be carried out smoothly, then the tax work in other places can be carried out very well." ”
"If we can't carry out tax collection smoothly in Beijing and Tianjin, then it will be difficult to carry out tax work in other places."
"At this moment, it is not only Lord Liu and Lord She who are watching us, but also the princes of the court, as well as those merchants, factory owners, workshop owners, and business owners."
"No one will give us the money by themselves, and our work will be very difficult at first, but as long as we can overcome the initial difficulties, then we can carry out smoothly."
"But if we can't overcome the difficulties, those merchants, factory owners, workshop owners, and business owners will not cooperate with our tax collection work, and then they will be impressed by the whole tax reform."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot of responsibility on our shoulders, and we have a heavy burden."
Ren Wenjia couldn't help but sigh.
The work of collecting taxes is really not easy to do, it is too offensive to people, the key is that they are the first officials to collect taxes, and everyone is watching their every move at this moment.
If they can collect the tax smoothly, then everyone will slowly and obediently pay the tax obediently, but if they can't collect the tax in the first place, then the others will not pay the tax obediently.
This has been the case since ancient times.
"My lord, after we arrived in Tianjin, we should first tax the many industries under the command of Lord Liu, many industries under the command of Lord Liu are the leaders of various industries, as long as this leader takes the lead in paying taxes, others will naturally follow."
Zhang Fangting thought for a while and said.
"Taxing the property under Lord Liu's command first?"
When Ren Wenjia heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
"Yes, first tax the property under Lord Liu's command."
"Because Lord Liu is in charge of this tax reform, there are many, many people in Beijing and Tianjin who are looking at him, and everyone is looking at Lord Liu, whether this tax will be levied on their heads."
"If Lord Liu doesn't even tax his own property, then naturally there is no way for others to pay taxes, so we must first tax the property under Lord Liu's command."
"As far as I know, the real major shareholders of the industry under Lord Liu's command are the prince and the prince and many military generals and nobles in the court, as long as they take the lead in paying taxes, others naturally dare not pay."
"And the many industries under the command of Lord Liu, it must be the most suitable for our tax work."
Zhang Fangting said with great certainty, and analyzed it carefully.
"What Master Zhang said is reasonable~"
When several people heard this, they immediately nodded one after another, the first thing to be levied in this tax is definitely the many industries under Liu Jin's command, because this must be done for the world to see.
"After we arrived in Tianjin, we first had to issue tax notices to all factories, workshops, shops, commercial houses, etc. in Tianjin, and first notify them to come to our tax bureau to declare their taxes, and if they are unwilling to declare taxes, we can forcibly close their factories, shops, commercial houses, etc."
"First of all, a group of people should be severely punished, otherwise no one will pay taxes obediently."
"Yes, that's how it should be~"
"It's just that this won't offend many people, Tianjin is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the powerful are gathered."
"Don't tax people if you're afraid of offending people?"
"Paying taxes is stipulated by the laws of the imperial court, don't be afraid, we have Lord Liu as our backing."
