Chapter 258: Dividing

He, the new Ninth Rank Officer, was the lowest-ranking official in Tekori. After taking office, the first task assigned to him by the director of the special department was to be in charge of the shantytown outside the west gate of Zhongcheng among the twelve shantytowns outside Huaihuang Sanlian City, and to collect information on the illegal underground organizations and activities in this point.

Some time ago, Yi Shuai led the army to fight, Huaihuang City developed rapidly, and it was impossible to supervise the entire Huaihuang inside and outside for a while, so temporary settlements began to form outside the city, followed by the rise of those underground casinos, brothels, black markets, usury and other businesses, and even these temporary settlements became theft, robbery, kidnapping, extortion and other illegal and criminal hiding places. After Yi Feng returned to Huaihuang, he immediately discovered this situation, and immediately handed over the task of governance to the three subordinate organizations, the Special Branch, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Statistics Bureau.

Let these three organizations take action, Yi Feng also intends to take this opportunity to let them practice, and secondly, Yi Feng also knows that such underground organizations are difficult to eradicate, so he plans to let these three spy intelligence agencies clean up and control these underground forces. It is inexhaustible, but it can be controlled. Let the three spy intelligence agencies break into the underground world and use Li Ghost to deal with Li Kui, which can not only control the development of these underground organizations, but also provide some money sources for the three agencies.

As a traverser, Yi Feng is very clear about illegal behaviors such as pornography, gambling and drugs, and it is not okay to blindly beat him. Sometimes, it's better to be blocked. When the Red Dynasty was founded, these things were swept away, but they couldn't last at all, and in the end they were just as revived. Yi Feng has his own perspective on this, and there is no poison in this era. But there is alcohol, and in addition, especially gambling and pornography are not forbidden. The prohibition of gambling and pornography in Huaihuang can only cause the underground pornography and gambling business to be larger. It's like Prohibition in the United States in the twenties and thirties. As soon as the ban was banned, the country not only did not have hundreds of millions of annual alcohol taxes, but also had to come up with a lot of money to maintain the ban. However, the state's ban on alcohol has made the underground alcohol smuggling activities rampant, and the underworld controls the underground alcohol smuggling business, making a lot of money, and its power continues to increase. At last. The state has lost tax revenues and increased expenditures, but the people have not only not applauded. On the contrary, they overpaid for alcohol, and the power of the underground gangs rose rapidly. Another example can be seen from the situation of the later Red Dynasty, which openly cracked down on prostitution. But in fact, according to some official statistics. The number of female sex workers in the Red Dynasty reached 6 million, which is still an official conservative figure. Blindly banning it can't be banned at all, but it has caused chaos in this industry and all kinds of corruption. It not only disrupted public order, but also lost tax revenue. Since it can't be banned at all, it is better to be sparse and carry out effective supervision. This strengthens regulation and increases tax revenues.

This is not because Yi Feng sees money. But knowing that it is impossible to do it, but it has to be banned to the end, it is inevitable that there is some self-deception, not to mention that there are already red light districts in foreign countries.

The situation of gambling and prostitution in Huaihuang is relatively strict, and even these two industries are somewhat deformed and prosperous. This is inseparable from the current economic situation of Huaihuang, a trade city in Huaihuang, merchants and men from all over the country come and go, businessmen can not go south and north with their families by their side, all year round, inevitably have some needs, and businessmen generally have the economic conditions for consumption. In addition, business entertainment, sometimes these are also needed as adjustments, which is the demand for entertainment. Second, there have always been more men and fewer women in this place, and the huge gap in the proportion of men and women makes it more and more difficult for men to marry wives, which is also the reason why Yi Feng managed to bring back so many women last time. But even so, it is difficult to solve the lack of women for a while. However, Huaihuang has developed rapidly, everyone's tea bags are very bulging, and there is surplus money in their hands, prostitution has naturally become a choice. The prosperity of Huaihuang caused a large number of prostitutes from other places to pour into Huaihuang and come to pan for gold. Dongguan in later generations had a population of 8 million, and it is said that there were 300,000 prostitutes. At that time, there was even a couplet calling for 100,000 prostitutes to go to Lingnan and millions of prostitutes to go to Dongguan. The number of prostitutes is one in twenty-sixth of the population. The current situation in Huaihuang City is similar to this, and the entire Huaihuang City combined, it is said that there are more than 20,000 prostitutes according to preliminary statistics, including those who pick up customers in the Qinglou, and those who are half-hidden prostitutes. And just in Huaihuang Sanlian City, the number of prostitutes inside and outside the city reached about 10,000. It's really quite scary, and the total number of floating population and permanent residents in the three cities of Huaihuang is only three or four hundred thousand people.

It can even be said that the Qinglou industry has become a very large industry in Huaihuang, and there are even a large number of people attached to this industry, such as the old bustard turtle and the maid and even the nurse of the home, etc., which has initially formed an industrial chain.

However, with the exception of a few Qinglou operating in the city, most of the practitioners were semi-public, and they did not even pay half of the tax to Huaihuang, and many scoundrels fought for their lives in order to control these brothels or prostitutes, which made the law and order situation outside the city worse.

Yi Feng is now letting the Special Branch, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Statistics Bureau intervene in this matter to solve this problem. Since the special shape of Huaihuang has made this a paradise for the entertainment industry, it is necessary to control it. Let them be regulated, they have to be planned. The brothels and casinos in the Qinglou are all included in the entertainment industry and are heavily taxed. For Qinglou and gambling houses, Huaihuang must first levy a business tax of 20%, and 5 taxes and 1. After the levy of 20% of the business tax, the remaining income after deducting the expenditure, but also to all the Qinglou and casino practitioners, whether it is the boss or the prostitute or the dealer, all have to levy personal income tax is also 20%, five taxes one, but there is a monthly income of 3,000 yuan threshold, higher than this point, all have to levy 20% of the personal income tax, these industries all have to be registered in the government, practitioners need regular physical examinations, etc. As for these scoundrels who dare to grab land and collect protection fees, Yi Feng is ruthless, opening a casino Qinglou is still an entertainment industry, what kind of industry do you think it is to collect protection money? For these people, Yi Feng has only one order, find out the details, and then arrest them all and send them to various mines for labor reform. It just so happens that there is a shortage of labor now, and sending them there is just the right way to solve the problem of labor shortage. After these scoundrels are defeated, in the future, the Qinglou Casino will be taken over by people from the three intelligence departments. It just so happens that these places are mixed with dragons and snakes, and all kinds of news spread extremely quickly, so let the three intelligence departments control these places, and they can also collect all kinds of intelligence by the way.

Of course, how to collect these taxes may be more troublesome, but Yifeng will not let them evade taxes, and all the blockades and green buildings will send special tax officers to supervise and inspect at any time. In addition, in order to obtain the license to operate a casino and a green house, you must also pay a franchise fee and security deposit in the entertainment industry. In addition, all prostitutes are registered and pay a substantial payment. As for the unregistered underground gambling houses and green buildings, Yi Feng will never be soft, once discovered, all assets will be confiscated, and all bosses and practitioners will be sent to labor reform. In short, casinos and green houses can be deposited, but they must be strictly regulated and subject to high taxes. Anyway, for Yi Feng, those who have money to gamble and prostitute will not be poor ordinary people. Heavy taxation will not affect the lives of ordinary people. On the contrary, the imposition of such a heavy tax can adjust the control of this industry, and it can also increase a lot of taxes for Huaihuang.

Ling Jing came to Ximen today to find Zheng Tu. Zheng Tu is the boss of this settlement outside the West Gate. The main business is to kill pigs, but there are many strong butchers under his hands, plus a large number of scoundrels have been recruited, so many people can dare to fight, so the territory outside the West Gate, large and small brothels and even black markets, usury, theft, etc., are all covered by him. Each one has to hand over a certain share of the benefits to him, and he is responsible for the security of each family, and some troublemakers are sorted out for them.

All the details of Zheng Tu, Ling Jing has already checked them clearly. All the illegal deeds at this point outside the West Gate have also been recorded. He came today to have a showdown, Zheng Tu's good days have come to an end, and the lawless days of this settlement outside the West Gate have also come to an end.

Zheng Tu continued unconsciously: "I know that there are people in Ling Gongzi's mansion, let's cooperate, you are responsible for supplying wine, and I am responsible for receiving and shipping." With the current popularity of liquor, if this business becomes bigger, it will be much more than the small amount of money in this shantytown now. Let's divide the profits into six or four, and I'll be six and you'll be four. ”

Ling Jing shook his head. He was personally promoted by Yi Shuai, and he had a great future, how could he be bought by a butcher. What he didn't know was that Yi Feng promoted him, not really because he was outstanding on the surface, but simply because when he read a report, he saw that the official who signed it was Ling Jing. I was a little familiar with this name for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that Dou Jiande seemed to have an important strategist named Ling Jing in history, and he was once a colleague with Wei Zheng. In the great battle of Xia Yuan Zheng against Tang, Ling Jing once proposed not to attack the Tiger Prison to save Luoyang, but to enter the west to attack Taiyuan, and then go straight to Guanzhong to attack Chang'an, to encircle Wei to save Zhao and rescue Wang Shichong from Luoyang, and at the same time have the opportunity to take advantage of Li Shimin to lead Li Tang's army out of the Central Plains, and copy Li Yuan's hometown. However, this Jianyì was vetoed by Dou Jiande at that time, and he insisted on going his own way to fight the Tianwei Xiongguan Tiger Prison that was occupied by Li Shimin one step earlier, but in the end he was defeated and captured, and the Xia Kingdom perished. Yi Feng was not sure that this Ling Jing was that Ling Jing, so he called him for a personal interview and decided that he was that Ling Jing. Therefore, he was exceptionally promoted to Tek Experience. (To be continued......)
