Chapter 173 Taxation tricks
A month later a certain day.
The Tulong tribe of Shuanglong Valley gathered 3,000 troops out of the valley and prepared to attack Shuangmiao Pass. Ten thousand remaining wolves suddenly appeared at the entrance of the valley, and 3,000 armed militias of the Tulong tribe were ambushed and killed 3,000 migrants in the Tulong tribe, killing more than 7,000 people. Only more than 5,000 elderly, weak women and children were forced to migrate to Yunlong City and sentenced to criminals. More than 10,000 heads accumulated at the gate of Yunlong City, building a capital temple.
After this incident, the "Tulong Tribe", a large tribe with a population of more than 15,000, was destroyed. Another tribe in the Shuanglong Valley, "Fulong Tribe", dominated Shuanglong Valley...
On the same day, 20,000 Southern Barbarians and Vietnamese soldiers crossed the lush forests and steep mountains, avoided Changling Pass, and raided Shuangmiao Pass. Ten thousand remaining wolf cavalry, and ten thousand wolf troops suddenly appeared in Shuangmiao Pass, plus three thousand wolf troops guarding the pass, a total of 23,000 wolf troops destroyed the barbarian troops in front of the pass.
The next day, the bodies of 20,000 Southern Barbarians and Vietnamese soldiers were burned down, and 20,000 heads were cut off, piled up at the gate of Yunlong City, building the third "Beijing Temple".
Two months later.
Because Jian Shang's iron-blooded high-pressure policy was either ignored or exterminated, the tribes in the Dabie Mountains stopped their flags and had various small actions, and undercurrents were surging, but no power dared to raise the flag to rebel again.
In June of the second year of Creation, four months after Jian Shang took office, taxes began to be collected this quarter.
At the same time, the alien races in all directions have basically been destroyed, and tens of thousands of barbarian troops have been expelled from China. China has begun to enter the period of cultivation, reproduction and rest. The alien forces who are determined to develop have occupied villages, towns, and cities as their bases.
Yunlong City City Lord’s Mansion, Conference Hall.
Seeing that the taxes are about to be imminent, the county magistrate of Hengshan County will send someone to collect taxes. Jian Shang, as the lord of Yunlong City and the county magistrate of Yunlong County, will naturally pay the taxes.
"Report to the lord! After counting, there are now a total of 278,753 people in Yunlong City, a total of 106,321 people, a total of about 520,000 mu of land, and a total of about 200,000 mu of land rented out, and it can be promoted to Zhongcheng."
"In addition, after statistics, there are 257 villages, 108 tribes, 49 copycats, and a total population of about 7.5 million.
Yunlong County is divided into 132 villages in 11 townships. Except for Yunlong City, the registered population is 147,653 people, distributed in 132 villages in 11 townships.”
After nearly four months of inventory investigation, the Wolf Army had already had a great understanding of Dabie Mountains. Gao Hong, as the magistrate of Yunlong County, took the lead in reporting at the meeting.
"Well……"
As soon as Gao Hong finished speaking, the generals present could not help but look at each other inexplicably, shocked.
Tips! Tips!
Although Dabie Mountain is in a wilderness, the so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and it is understandable to report the population in vain. However, the actual population and the population are too different!
As we all know, since it is the actual population, local officials will definitely not collect less taxes. The tax gap between the actual population and the local population is actually the oil and water of those officials. Except for the taxes that must be paid for the imperial population, the rest will naturally fall into the pockets of officials at all levels.
This is the origin of the ancient saying "Three years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes". It means that you do not greedy exploitation, do not embezzle and accept bribes. Local officials can only eat a fat man by taxes. This is a great wealth!
Of course, Dabie Mountains are different from Yunlong County. The scope of Yunlong County is about one-third of the entire Dabie Mountains. After all, Dabie Mountains are mostly poor and bad waters, and the army is difficult to move forward. Many village tribes do not obey their jurisdiction and are not paid attention to by the previous Yunlong City Yamen. The Yamen had the will but lacked strength before.
Now, the Wolf Army has regarded Dabie Mountain as its base, so this situation is naturally not allowed to happen, so the inventory is relatively detailed.
"As long as you go to 257 villages, 108 tribes, and 49 copycats within the Dabie Mountains, you can't pay them. It's up to anyone who dares not pay them. The Wolf Army hasn't eaten meat for three months!"
Jian Shang tapped the desk with his fingers, looked around at the civil servants and generals present, and said slowly, with a stern murderous intent.
It has to be admitted that after nearly four months of self-cultivation, although Jian Shang has not practiced his martial arts skills and has been practicing for more time, his previous iron-blooded spirit has dissipated and is quite restrained, but he has a bit of a gentle and sunny temperament.
If you don’t become an official, you don’t know the trick! The county magistrate of Yunlongcheng before was not just lied about the population, but even the village tribes lied about it. Of course, it is not ruled out that the county magistrate was powerless. After all, poor mountains and bad waters were out of trouble, and the Dabie Mountains were fierce. The county magistrate did not have 100,000 troops in his hands. The larger village tribes had a population of more than 10,000, so the county magistrate of Yunlong was naturally powerless.
"If the county government comes, how should it report it?"
When Gao Hong heard Jian Shang say this, he didn't expect this, so Yu Qing took the lead in asking.
Although Gao Hong is the county magistrate and Yu Qing is the deputy, most of the government affairs are actually under the responsibility of Yu Qing and Gao Hong assists. However, Gao Hong's identity is special, and everyone dare not have any objections, so they just kept it.
"How was it before, and now it is natural. The population of the three Jingguans outside the city has to be deducted!"
Jian Shang rolled his eyes unhappily and naturally responded.
"Uh...will the county government believe it?"
Yu Qing was stunned and asked speechlessly. The three Jingguans outside the city had accumulated 170,000 lives. The number of registered people in Yunlong County was only about 330,000. Isn’t this half deducted at once? I only paid taxes of 150,000, but planned to collect taxes of nearly 7.5 million people.
What a big appetite!
It's ten thousand times more cruel than the presidency of the county magistrate!
The legendary Taotie!
"Does this post require him to believe it? If you believe it or not, the former county magistrate is a senior, so you must respect it! If they are not convinced, let them take it themselves!"
Jian Shang still looked calm and responded without caring.
“Then how much tax should we pay?”
Jian Shang is the lord, the real lord of Yunlong, not an ordinary county magistrate. Jian Shang insisted on doing this, and his subordinates could only do it. Yu Qing smiled bitterly and asked randomly.
"What should I pay for how much?" Jian Shang frowned and asked in confusion.
"Uh... Is the lord really ignorant or pretending to be confused?"
Yu Qing was stunned again, muttered to himself, and then explained with a tough bullet:
"The taxes for the registered population are taxes of the court. No one dares to be greedy for the taxes stipulated by the court. These taxes must be paid to the county government, then to the inspector government, then to the prefecture government, and then to the state government and to the state treasury."
Speaking of this, Yu Qing paused, and Shi Jin couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
"Then what? False reporting of population is a tacit matter in the officialdom center, and it's actually nothing. However, we are only at the county level, and there are county governments, inspectors and prefectures, so we can only drink soup. The county government has to chew bones, the inspectors and prefectures have to eat skins, and the prefectures have to eat meat. Do you think that if we can swallow the gap in population in false reporting, we can't do it?"
Yu Qing glared at Shi Jin in anger and explained patiently. It was difficult to deal with it, but he didn't dare to get angry at Jian Shang. Who told the fat man to jump out by himself?
"Black! So black! So black! So, it's better to be an official, the biggest business!"
Shi Jin didn't care, and shook his head and sighed.
"Don't pay more, you should pay as much as you should pay. Anyway, we do things according to the laws of the court. We don't care about their tricks. If you want money, go find someone else!"
Yu Qing didn't say it, but Jian Shang didn't know his son's bad luck. Hearing Yu Qing say this, he couldn't help but respond in a deep voice.
“Uh…yes!”
Yu Qing was hit hard by Jian Shang and responded helplessly with a bitter face.
If you really "pay as much as you should pay", Mao Ni can naturally ignore it, but Jian Shang is too ambitious and embezzled too much, how could the county officials accept it? It will definitely cause a lot of storms.
"Haha... Mr. Yu was too worried! The so-called senior official level was the first level to crush people. However, what rank is the county magistrate? The fifth level is the governor? The fourth level is the provincial governor? The third level is the third level. What rank is the marquis? The dignified Marquis Wu Huan, super level! It would be good to pay the tax honestly. They dare to pay money from the marquis's wallet?" Seeing Yu Qing's bitter face, Gongsun Long couldn't help but say trickyly.
In fact, Gongsun Long and Li Tong are not generals of the Wolf Army or officials of Yunlong City. They were just detained and placed under house arrest by Jian Shang. They could not attend such a meeting, but Jian Shang still called them!
