The sun was gradually turning westward, the red light was open, and the workers and militias were still facing each other at the gate of the factory, and no one could admit defeat.

This group of cavalry, with spears on their backs, helmets on their heads, bullet belts wrapped around their chests, and high-headed horses slipping under their crotches, are all high-grade animals imported from Liao.

There is also a pair of infantrymen, wearing blue-black uniforms, soft hats, carrying standard rifles of the Great Song Dynasty, armed belts, and marching backpacks, which are tightly wrapped.

A sentry officer on horseback came to the confronting factory gate and reined in the halter: "The king's flag is here, and the people on both sides are waiting to retreat!" ”

Seeing the officers and troops coming, the ranks on both sides were a little loose. Zhu Ming couldn't hide at this time, he squeezed out of the crowd and saluted the sentry officer on the horse: "Dare to ask what the military master is called?" ”

Cheng Qi and the three strangers also walked out of the long gate, looking at the majestic sentry officer on the horse, and they didn't know which way this was. Fortunately, the sentry officer immediately bowed his hand to them: "It's rude, the first sentry officer of the first regiment of the tax police corps under the command of the transfer envoy on the lower two Huai roads, Huangshi." ”

Cheng Qi chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect that General Huang Stone and Huang of this plane were actually just a small leader of the tax police team - but this name is too common, maybe it's just a duplicate name, unless there is a party member named Jin Qiude and He Dingyuan by his side.

The yellow sentinel rode on his horse, looked at both sides, and shouted: "In order to prevent bloody clashes between the workers and the militias, the tax police team will only take over the factory immediately, and all personnel must obey the command of the tax police team. ”

In a general sense, it is a tax department, which only sets up a yamen at the road level, and there are no branches in the state capitals and counties, and only a tax is set up in the prefect, the prefecture or the county yamen to collect various taxes.

In order to ensure the stability of the country's tax revenue, it is naturally necessary to have certain military measures as a guarantee. Therefore, in addition to hundreds of bookkeepers and confidential clerks, there is also a capable tax police force under the command of the transfer envoy.

The tax police are different from the forbidden army and the box army, as the official armed force of the state, the command power is in the military department, and the right to transfer is in the privy council. If the Shouzhou regimental training envoy wants to take his men to Xuzhou to go shopping, he must hold the tiger talisman of the Privy Council - otherwise it will be rebellion and mutiny.

The tax police are also different from the militia group, the militia has everything, such as the Xiangxi native soldiers and Miao Mandong Yi who are strong in battle, and they will not fall behind in 300 rounds, but if they want to leave their hometowns, even if they go to the next county, they will probably have to disobey.

The tax police are semi-regularized armed forces, mainly cavalry and infantry supplements, and are equipped with a variety of combat equipment, from small steel cannons used to deal with landlords who resist paying agricultural taxes to special equipment used to break doors and smash walls in cities and towns.

Of course, the tax police team is generally for money and not for life, and it is generally enough to beat people to half death, and it is not emphasized that they must die.

The transfer envoy is also different from the political envoy, who is elected by the people and is elected and appointed by the local four-level council, while the transfer envoy is an official directly appointed by the central government, and he leaves directly when he arrives, and has nothing to do with the local government - he is responsible for collecting money, which is a job that offends people, and it is really not easy to make peace with those local representatives of public opinion and local officials who are not rich or noble.

The transfer of the two Huai roads made She Ji such a person. Since he entered the office, he has been in various places to transfer the Yamen around, starting from the tax Cao of Yongzhou on Hunan Road, with a brush to sway up, and successively transferred to the Hubei Road transfer envoy Jingxiang Taoist, the Hubei Road transfer envoy tea horse Taoist, the Ministry of Finance and Taxation Department of the tax collection and inspection Cao Sicao, and the Shandong Road transfer envoy Sishi Bo Si. Last year, he was just transferred to the important task of transporting the two Huai roads.

Now is the time for him to shine. When a spark between the workers and the factory owner's team could explode, he promptly mobilized the tax police team to station in the factory, and later that night, She Ji had already sent all the audit experts he could find to the enterprises of the Fei Group.

The Fei Group has monopolized the coal business of Lianghuai for more than ten years, and although She Ji is a newcomer, with more than 20 years of experience in the tax authorities, he can think of how much profit there should be on his heels.

And this seems to be a big gap with the figure handed over by the Fischer Group to the transshipment mission.

The intention of the household department to transfer his predecessor to Bianjing to listen to the use, and to transfer him, a veteran who had dug up a lot of tax evasion and evasion, from Dengzhou, is self-evident.

When Cheng Qi and the others were in full swing among the people, although She Ji did not get involved, he did not stand still. Before the Chinese New Year, he found a good excuse to dismiss the chief accountant who had stayed behind from his predecessor and replaced him with an audit master he secretly invited from Shandong.

After the New Year, he sent Si Cao, the tax officer of Shouzhou, to Luoyang to attend a very important meeting, and then arranged for one of his deputies to go to Bianjing to check the accounts of the transfer of money and grain in the last three years - and also instructed him to have a good relationship with the bigwigs of the household department, stay longer, and invite them to go to the restaurant and visit the kiln, and money is not a problem.

In the end, he sent another of his deputies to Yangzhou to collect the cost of navigation of the canal - the Grand Canal runs through the north and south, and the Lianghuai Road is also an important link, and thousands of inland waterway shipping companies on the Grand Canal have to pay a management fee to the Yamen, the governor of Yangzhou Caoyun, and this management fee also has the right to a share of the two Huai Road transit envoys. And if this money doesn't go, it won't be paid to the account by itself.

After patiently removing these stumbling blocks little by little, She Ji can finally show his skills.

Under the pretext of preventing the bloodshed, She Ji arranged for his tax police team to enter the factories and mines, especially several important mines and factories, and he sent people to surround those small buildings, and no one was allowed to move without the pass issued by the transfer envoy.

The accountants and auditors who were urgently dispatched from all over the Lianghuai Road fought at night, turning out boxes of account books and comparing them with the tax manuals, and before dawn, She Ji would become the biggest winner in this mess.

As soon as I put down my job, a broker came to visit. It doesn't matter who it is, what matters is who the person who comes represents.

It's such a big person, come to the door to ask someone to do something, can't add a bag of radishes and an old hen, and take out a check in his arms, the gold check of the Nanyang International Bank - rank, the golden check does not mean that this check is made of gold, but that this check can be cashed out anywhere, whether it is Cairo in Africa or the gold mountain in the Americas, pay when you see the ticket!

It's impossible to count how many zeros there are. The person who came had one meaning: raise your noble hand and see each other in the future.

She Ji snorted coldly: What do you think of She?

The person who came added another zero, and She Ji didn't look at it: "Send off!" ”

The person who came added another zero, and She Ji threw the check out: "Get out!" Don't let such a person come to the door again! ”

If the soft one doesn't work, some people want to come to the hard one. The lights in the Fei's building were also bright that night. The neighboring residents also seemed to smell the smell of fire, thinking that just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would send money to their ancestors? It's too early!

There is a clear humane: "This is not to send money to the ancestors, but to prepare it for yourself!" ”

Someone also sent a check to Zhu Ming: "As long as you can settle this matter for the old man, the old man can settle any consequences for you." ”

Zhu Ming held the check, his hands trembled, and his heart was warm. There was a shocking sound on the chest, and in a blink of an eye, the person who came was sent away, but he sat down on the chair and sighed.

Shandong girl brought a bowl of old hen soup over: "Master...... I'm saying something I shouldn't have said...... It's time for a different boat. ”

Thinking of the experience of the first half of his life, and then look at the glory and wealth of this room, and the child in his arms. Zhu Ming, the leader of the militia group, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet - he went to the yamen of the magistrate's house to surrender!
