After the Ministry of Taxation found out about the tax problem in Chizhou, it did not hesitate to send Chen Lifu and another six-product inspector to Chizhou!

However, as soon as they arrived in Chizhou, another Liupin inspector received an urgent order and was dispatched to Huizhou Mansion.

Therefore, the tax inspection task in Chizhou Mansion can only be done by Chen Lifu alone.

Chen Lifu's tax inspection, its authority is not very clear, simply put, it is to urge and assist the local tax authorities to solve the problem and ensure the smooth progress of the local tax work.

To put it bluntly, Chen Lifu's task is to ensure that the tax revenue of Chizhou Mansion this year meets expectations, and Chen Lifu understands even more that in order to meet the expectations set by Shangfeng, I am afraid that many people in Chizhou will be exterminated.

Chen Lifu has always been an official with the mentality of feeding tigers with his body, but what he wants to do now is to make him feel a sense of guilt for the tiger!

During this time, he urged the local tax authorities to collect taxes, and in accordance with the tradition of tax inspection, he used the local tax inspection team to investigate the suspected tax evasion and evasion in Chizhou Prefecture.

Because in Chen Lifu's view, the entire taxation system of Chizhou Prefecture, especially the personnel of the tax inspection team, is very bad, and it is impossible to get along with the gentry and landlords, and it will not work if it is not rectified!

Of course, the tax system itself also has a lot of problems, for example, the Chizhou tax inspection team, except for a few high-grade people who are transferred from other places, in fact, many members of the inspection team are locals, and they are mainly people with unclean backgrounds, such as the original ruffians and hooligans.

The entire tax inspection team is a miasma, which makes Chen Lifu very ignorant, and during this time, he also used his authority to internally deal with many scum of the local tax inspection team.

This gave him some sense of accomplishment, and he was finally able to put the notorious and heinous tax inspection team in order, although it was only a tax inspection team of the Chizhou government, but he believed that with this start, there would be such opportunities in the future.

Sooner or later, he will always have to put the tax inspection team in order and return the gentry of the world to a good place.

Then after he arrived in Chizhou, he patronized the rectification of the tax inspection team and tax officials, but he never paid much attention to the matter of taxation, and the tax inspection team had already made several reports, saying that they would raid the homes of several landlords with serious tax evasion and tax evasion, but they were all suppressed by Chen Lifu making excuses.

But these days, he is not in a good mood, because three days ago, he received a letter from the head of the inspection department of the grain collection department of the Ministry of Taxation, En, that is, his immediate boss!

It's not a personal letter, it's a formal letter!

The letter said that Chen Lifu has been in Chizhou for nearly three months, why the tax situation in Chizhou has not improved, and the tax collected in the first quarter is still half less than expected!

Although this situation is much stronger than the end of last year, which was only one-third, it is still far from enough for the Ministry of Taxation.

Therefore, his immediate boss strictly reprimanded him in an official letter, and directly told him that if the tax situation still does not improve in the second quarter, then he will send another person to Chizhou to inspect the tax.

The letter did not say what would happen to Chen Lifu at that time, but this kind of thing does not need to be said at all, because the tax inspection that cannot complete the task has no value at all.

Chen Lifu has already heard of several tax inspectors who have not completed their tasks because they are basically devalued and sent to remote areas for use, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be dismissed.

As for the tax inspection that bent the law for personal gain during the inspection process and did not complete the inspection task, needless to say, he didn't even have a chance to go to prison, and he was cut directly.

But some people also make money and get soft, but the task is also completed, and they can still be promoted and make a fortune.

Otherwise, how can you say that this tax position is fat, it can really make a lot of money, as long as the impact is not too bad, or don't be poked out, then the boss will also treat it as if he didn't see it.

The evaluation of whether the tax inspection is qualified or not, not that he makes money privately, but whether he makes money for taxes!

Chen Lifu naturally does not collect money, he himself is not short of money, the scholarly family, the Chen family of traditional big landlords is not short of money, what he lacks is power.

But he didn't make money for himself, and at the same time, he didn't make money for the tax department, so he was derelict in his responsibility, and it was a serious dereliction of responsibility.

He will not have the slightest doubt that if the Chizhou tax in the second quarter still does not improve, the demotion is good, and it may even be directly demoted.

He had no sleep all night, watching that in the evening, the tax inspection team of Chizhou Prefecture sent him a list for a long, long time, this is a list of suspects, the list is the tax inspection team believes that tax evasion is the most serious more than ten gentry, and these gentry he has known in the past period of time, and even had a good conversation with several of them.

Those are all upright gentry, noble and upright people, and among them are extraordinary and famous!

In the early hours of the morning, after Chen Lifu sighed deeply, he finally picked up the pen and wrote his opinion tremblingly: "Immediately arrest and transfer to judicial disposal"

The tax inspection team, as the fourth largest armed force of the Tang Dynasty, has the right to enforce the law, of course, the right to prosecute and judge, which is still the power of the Inspectorate and the Grand Court.

At the same time, the tax inspection team also has the power of armed action to fight against armed tax resistance.

If the tax inspection team encounters a hard bone, then it will call the big brother army to help, but this is generally a large-scale armed resistance to taxes, which is no longer just tax evasion or tax resistance, but a rebellion, and the army will suppress it by thunderous means.

After Chen Lifu wrote down his opinions, he closed his eyes, he could already predict the fate of more than a dozen gentry above, in the tax system, he has a deep understanding of the attitude of the tax department towards tax evasion in the past few months, the fines are light, it is common to resist arrests, and the circumstances are serious.

All he could pray now was that the gentry would not resist, and that if they were arrested, and if they had a good attitude, paid the taxes owed, and paid a large fine, then the matter would be over.

But if you refuse to pay, or simply resist taxes directly, then the end is not so simple, and it is possible to raid the house.

The next day, Chen Lifu put on an official robe and accompanied the Chizhou tax inspection team to enforce the law.

He came with good intentions, but as soon as he arrived outside the manor of the first gentry, when the members of the inspection team arrested the head of the house, the gentry who had talked with him a few days ago cast a disdainful look at him: "Beautiful woman, why be a thief!" ”

At this time, Chen Lifu was not angry, but his heart was full of sadness!

However, in the third house, the owner of the house was stubbornly resistant and did not pay taxes, and the people of the inspection team immediately skillfully armed guns, directly smashed the door of the landlord with a two-pound shotgun, and then rushed in, arrested all the people inside, and even killed and injured a few people when there was a conflict.

When those people were escorted out, the head of the family, the nearby gentry with a high reputation, saw Chen Lifu, his face was sad and indignant, and then he actually spat at Chen Lifu: "Traitor! ”

Chen Lifu didn't speak, just checked the saliva on his body, and then said softly: "Take it away!" ”

This day can be said to be the darkest day in Chen Lifu's nearly thirty years of life, and it makes him feel even more depressed than when he was dismissed in the Ming Dynasty!

He didn't want to, but he had to arrest them with his own hands!

After arresting nearly 100 people in one day, Chen Lifu did not go to the celebration banquet of the tax bureau, but returned to his residence alone, and he stayed awake all night.

Compared with other places, the land annexation in Jiangnan is more serious, and there are many landlords and gentry, these people have never paid taxes, and now the Tang Dynasty has made them pay taxes, most of them will pay, but even if they do, they will definitely not honestly pay all of them, but hide the number of acres as much as possible.

And for these people, the tax department has never been soft.

This year, the task of the Ministry of Taxation is very heavy, because in Xuanping's five-year fiscal revenue budget, the regular tax budget has reached 25 million taels of silver.

The tax revenue in other places has basically stabilized, and it can be collected about 15 million yuan in general, which means that in the Jiangnan area, at least 10 million taels of silver must be collected.

This is not an easy task.

According to the number of acres of land in the Jiangnan area and the prosperous industry and commerce, it is entirely possible to levy a tax of 10 million taels of silver, or even low, but it is not so easy to collect these taxes smoothly.

Because in Jiangnan, the situation of tax evasion is far more serious than other places, they were raised by the Ming Dynasty, each of them is willing to pay taxes, large-scale resistance they don't dare, but always like to play hide and seek with the tax department, the tax department is very big.

Nowadays, in every state capital in the Jiangnan region, the tax department has successively dispatched tax inspectors, which has never appeared in other provinces, which shows how stubborn the landlord and gentry class in the Jiangnan area is.

But even if the work is difficult, the Ministry of Taxation still gave Li Xuan a package ticket, and the positive tax income in Jiangnan this year will definitely exceed 10 million taels, and it is also guaranteed that there will be no turmoil in Jiangnan!

Because there is a very interesting phenomenon here: although there are relatively few cases of tax evasion and even tax resistance in other places, large-scale armed tax resistance is very common, but in Jiangnan, there are many tax resistances and more tax evasion, but the large-scale armed tax resistance and even rebellion have not appeared once in a miracle!

The landlords in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River are used to enjoying it, and they are used to stealing and playing tricks, but the bones are not very hard!
