This meeting was over, and Han Wantao went to the patrol room and called Liu Guannan to go to Sun Dalei together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I just had a meeting of the committee, let's discuss it together." Han Wantao sat down and said, "The committee means that we should send the tax police out as soon as possible, and strive to control the entire Hainan Island within the year." ”
"That's fine." Sun Dalei said, "Now that the tax police have been reorganized, we already have commercial offices in various states and counties, and as long as the tax police are sent over, we can start collecting taxes." ”
"It's okay to send tax police, but there's still a problem." Liu Guannan asked, "Shall we start collecting taxes at the same time or will we come one by one?" ”
Han Wantao didn't understand much: "Guannan, is there any difference between starting at the same time and coming one by one, anyway, you have to pay taxes in the end." ”
"Wan Tao, there's a big difference." Liu Guannan explained, "We only have a mobile brigade of 1,000 people now, and I estimate that this collection of industrial and commercial taxes is likely to cause some commotion. If we spread it out at the same time, once the whole Hainan Island is in chaos, our mobile brigade will definitely be too busy. So I suggest that if you come one by one, if you can stabilize one county, you can be a model for the whole of Hainan Island. ”
"You have a point." Han Wantao asked, "Then which county do you think is better to start with, or start with Wanzhou, we have basically controlled Wanzhou." ”
"Wanzhou can't." Sun Dalei vetoed, "Just because Wanzhou has been controlled by us, there is no representativeness, find a place that we haven't controlled yet." ”
"I think it's more appropriate to go to Thanksgiving County." Liu Guannan suggested, "Thanksgiving County is only more than 100 miles away from Yazhou, and the distance is close, which is convenient for our mobile brigade to operate. In addition, Thanksgiving County has been driven by Yazhou in recent years, and industry and commerce have also developed to a certain extent, with more merchants and a certain representativeness. ”
"I also think it's okay to be grateful to the county, let's start from close and come one by one." Sun Dalei also agreed.
"Since you all agree to go to Thanksgiving County, I have no objection." Han Wantao said, "Who's going?" ”
"I'll go myself." Liu Guannan said, "This is the first county, and I feel a little uneasy if I don't go in person." ”
"I'll go too." Sun Dalei also said, "The tax bureau now has a full-time deputy director, and Guannan doesn't know how to collect taxes, so I'll go with him." ”
"That's right." Liu Guannan asked Han Wantao, "Who did you choose, the captain of the tax police mobile brigade, you never told us." ”
"There is no suitable candidate, I first let Xu Tianbin serve as the captain of this brigade." Han Wantao replied, "Let him wait at home or go with you?" ”
"Let him wait for now." Liu Guannan said, "If there is really something to transfer over, it's best if it's okay." ”
"Wan Tao." Sun Dalei asked again, "Have you asked Wang Hua, is there anyone in the Second General Affairs Department in Thanksgiving County?" ”
"I really haven't asked about that." Han Wantao thought for a while, "I don't know very well, but the matter of tax collection should have nothing to do with the Second General Affairs Department." ”
"It's hard to say." Sun Dalei analyzed, "Now that the battle on the side of the imperial court is very fierce, it is difficult to say whether Gao Qiqian will take advantage of this tax collection to provoke merchants to make trouble." He can be plugged in among the homeless, and he may make trouble with such a large range of taxes as ours. ”
"Then I'll ask Wang Hua." Han Wantao finally said, "The two of you will first get the plan of Thanksgiving County out, and as soon as the committee approves it, it will start immediately, and time is running out." ”
Ten days later, Liu Guannan and Sun Dalei arrived at Thanksgiving County with 100 tax police officers and more than 20 tax bureau personnel, and the sign of the Thanksgiving County Taxation Bureau was hung up in the county.
The two of them played the banner of the imperial court, and there was Wang Kezong's edict, although the county order of Thanksgiving County was a little unhappy, but there was nothing to stop it, and they acquiesced to everything Liu Guannan did.
Notices on the collection of industrial and commercial taxes were posted all over the streets and alleys of the county, and more than 20 tax collectors were divided into several teams, explaining the meaning of the imperial court and the benefits of collecting taxes in the county every day. It's a pity that a few days have passed, and not a single merchant has come to take the initiative to declare, and the entire Thanksgiving County is waiting.
"Da Lei, this won't work." Liu Guannan sat in the office of the tax bureau, "It's been three or four days, and no one has come to take the initiative to declare, so it seems that it will not work if we don't take some compulsory measures." ”
"I know that too." Sun Dalei took out a piece of paper from the table, "Look, this is a new notice I wrote, we are forced to collect taxes." ”
Liu Guannan took it and looked at it: "You didn't explain how to force it, what if they still don't listen, can you rob it, that will make things bigger." ”
"No, how can we rob it." Sun Dalei said with a smile, "We only have the tax bureau now, not the industrial and commercial bureau, but the tax bureau can also do something that the industrial and commercial bureau does." As long as they refuse to pay taxes, the tax police can go to seal the door and force them to stop business. ”
"That's not right." Liu Guannan shook his head, "What if these merchants join forces to strike the market?" ”
"It's too easy." "Do you know what the most serious consequence of a businessman's strike is, which is nothing more than a shortage of goods and the inability to buy things. We also have a business name in Thanksgiving County, so that the family can bring rice, salt, sugar, cloth and other materials, once Thanksgiving County strikes, we use our own goods to fill the market. Not only is it filled, but it is also cheaper than the original price, and these merchants will definitely not be able to stand it. ”
"And what if they make trouble?"
"It's simpler." Sun Dalei explained, "What are we doing with the tax police, not to mention the mobile brigade." You can rest assured that as long as ordinary people have food and drink, they will not participate in the trouble. Even if there is trouble, it is just those merchants. I would like to see if they are willing to put their money away and not make money, and continue to fight against us like this, or open the door honestly and do business. ”
Liu Guannan thought about it, and there was indeed no better way, so he agreed: "Then so be it, follow your method." When will the news of the exemption from agricultural taxes be issued. ”
"Wait and see how it goes." Sun Dalei replied, "If there are farmers involved in the trouble, we will make the news public." ”
"The collection of industrial and commercial taxes has nothing to do with the peasants, will they participate in the trouble?" Liu Guannan asked, "Are you still worried that Gao Qiqian is secretly making trouble?" ”
"Yes, anything can happen." Sun Dalei nodded, "Gao Qiqian, Tao Min, and even Zhang Fengyi's side are possible." ”
Speaking of Zhang Fengyi, Liu Guannan suddenly remembered something: "How do I remember that Lu Lao said at the beginning that Zhang Fengyi should have eaten marijuana and died in September this year." ”
"That's history." Sun Dalei smiled, "History has changed now. Beiming blocked Azig, saved more than 200,000 people, and beheaded 8,000, Zhang Fengyi no longer had to eat marijuana. ”
A few days later, 500 tax police, under the leadership of Xu Tianbin, escorted a large number of supplies to Thanksgiving County. The decree on compulsory taxation was officially promulgated, but all merchants who refused to pay taxes were closed by the tax police and ceased business. Not only that, but a late fee of 5/10,000 is charged every day.
Xu Tianbin began to close the door with the tax police to collect taxes from each household. This time, the staff of the tax bureau did not explain too much, only a few short sentences.
"According to the regulations of the imperial court and the regulations on the collection of industrial and commercial tax in Qiongzhou Prefecture, your family should pay a tax of 3 taels and 4 yuan of silver."
"No money."
"According to the regulations, those who refuse to pay will be closed for business."
"No money."
"Seal the door."
"You dare?"
"Those who forcibly close the door and violently resist taxes will be brought back to the tax bureau."
After a day's work, less than half of the merchants in Thanksgiving County were left open.
In the evening, Liu Guannan and the three got together again.
"Today, about 100 businesses were closed and more than 20 violent tax protesters were brought back." Xu Tianbin first gave a general introduction to the situation during the day.
