Qiming 1158

Chapter 831 Carry forward the excellent taxation tradition of the warlords
Corrupt officials in the two prefectures and their white gloves, about 43 billion yuan in ransoms.

This is only the proceeds of the inquisition on the charges of corruption and disorder, and it does not include the landlords and wealthy businessmen who have not been involved for the time being, nor does it include other state capitals.

Su Yonglin silently estimated that if all the corrupt officials and their white gloves in Shandong were to raid their homes, the total amount of property they would get should be enough to rebuild three brand-new Yellow Rivers and be rich.

If all the landlords and tyrants in Shandong were renovated, the income should be enough to rebuild seven or eight Yellow River channels. The brand-new Yellow River channels would not require the national treasury to spend even a penny. At the same time, it would be equivalent to the current financial total of the entire Ming Empire for about three years. income.

What a huge fortune is this?
Su Yonglin laughed out loud at the statistics table.

The most interesting phenomenon of feudal dynasties is that where the population is placed, the land is placed there, the taxation of the imperial court is getting less and less, and in the end, no tax is even collected at all.

So where did the tax that could have been collected go?

Where has the wealth produced by so many people and land gone?
The answer is here.

Money won't grow wings and fly away. Obviously, it was taken away by some people very consciously.

Su Yonglin didn't expect that he would come down to fight and get such a big profit in the first confrontation. Maybe Lin Jingchun should be very happy after hearing this news, right?

He might be able to lose a few hairs.

But at the same time, Su Yonglin also deeply realized the importance of cracking down on landlords and gentry for national stability and development.

He began to feel that the intensity of tax collection in the past was really a little small, and the deterrence of these landlords was not strong enough, so that they always wanted to eat more and didn't want to spit it out.

When it comes to tax collection, it is really a test of the ability of the rulers to govern.

A good ruler must have a strong taxation capacity, and can concentrate the taxation of all social strata in his hands, and do what the rulers should do. This is Su Yonglin's goal.

But sometimes Su Yonglin admires those villains who collect taxes.

The most representative of these are the warlords of the old times and the country of the beacon of freedom.

Even though the warlords of the old era were evil, they could always come up with a lot of new tricks when it came to taxing the poor, and they could push the taxation to 90 years in one go, making the feudal rulers bow their heads in shame.

The beacon of freedom has all evils, but it can make the citizens cry out that "the two things that are never inseparable are death and paying taxes", which shows that they also have merit.

In comparison, the taxation capacity at the end of the feudal dynasty was simply out of line.

Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to use the old warlords and the lighthouse country's means and determination to collect taxes from the poor, revise Daming's tax law, and levy Daming's wealthy tax on the basis of implementing the tax on the wealthy.

He wants to customize a lot of exclusive tax points for people with a lot of wealth. Only the upper class can enjoy it, and the poor are not worthy of such special treatment.

Since the superior people always pursue the high and the poor, and feel that they are nobler than the poor, they must be noble in all aspects.

Since the pursuit of privileges is so high, of course, in the matter of taxation, the principle of superiority must also be reflected, and the taxation system must also formulate a special taxation law for them.

What is a poor man?
They are not worthy of paying so many extortionate and miscellaneous taxes to Daming. Their money is too dirty to be used by Daming!
Only the money of the upper class has no odor, and it is fragrant, which is most suitable for the court to use!

So Su Yonglin was going to start equipping the tax department with violent machines to make the tax department stronger.

Su Yonglin is not sure to fully realize his goals, nor does he think that he can completely eliminate the polarization of poverty and wealth in his lifetime, nor does he think that he can eliminate all the superior people.

The superiors always show up.

It was only a few years after he started his business that such a thing could happen, and it was not easy for him to make a conclusion about what would happen after his death.

Death toll policy is one of the possible options.

That being the case, then leave a system that future generations will definitely be willing to inherit.

Such as a strong tax department and tax system.

Don't always earn the stinky money of the poor, so many high-class people don't earn the good money, but earn the stinky money of the poor?

Several generations of emperors who learned from the Western Han Dynasty not only attacked the commoners ruthlessly, but also halved their domestic household registrations, and showed no mercy to the wealthy.

That is really treating the rich households as leeks, migrating to Guanzhong one by one, cutting one crop after another, they have no way to cut it, they can only cry and call their father, and donate all their money to fight The Huns went.

The beacon of freedom in the feudal era belonged to yes.

Many thoughts in Su Yonglin's heart burst out, which made him very excited. Originally, he was worried and angry because of the fall of many revival members, but he had already made up his mind that even if he died, he would not make the higher-ranking people better off.

Before he dies, he must toss out a series of laws and regulations against them, run smoothly, at least form a political inertia, even if he dies, these rules can run smoothly, causing them more trouble.

As for yourself, you have to live as long as possible for decades. The longer you live, the longer this set of rules runs, the greater the inertia. Even if there are some malicious guys in the future who want to change the road back to the feudal state, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

The stronger the taxation ability of the upper class, the longer the Ming Dynasty will be, and the longer this career can be maintained until all this comes to an end.

In the middle of May, several prefectures along the Yellow River Project have been cleaned by Su Yonglin twice. The first time is for the embezzlers who are on the surface, and the second time is for the deep-water wolves who tried to hide but did not hide.

The most hidden one actually participated in the trial itself, and was finally explained by Zhu Wenxian, the prefect of Dizhou. He was captured on the spot and joined the interrogation team.

So that trial was full of dark humor from beginning to end.

Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that after two times of cleaning, the state capitals along the Yellow River Project provided Su Yonglin with more than 100 billion yuan in proceeds from house raids.

Together, the prisoners and the wealthy landlords and businessmen who helped them digest public funds provided the Ming Dynasty with a valuation of 100 billion yuan in proceeds from ransacking their homes.

After the news was secretly spread to the Ministry of Finance of Central Capital, Lin Jingchun, the Minister of Finance, was so excited that he immediately set off for Shandong at a rapid speed, just like a dying desert traveler finally saw the oasis, no matter how frantic his hair was when he was on his way. How much was blown away by the wind.

For him, it was ecstasy.

Although this has never been Su Yonglin's goal, he would rather see that there is no corrupt official, and if he wants to raid his home, he can't.

But when a huge amount of gold and silver treasures were placed in front of him, he knew that his idea could not become a reality after all.

However, Su Yonglin also figured it out. Instead of complaining about self-defeating and self-defeating, it is better to go forward and work hard. If you fall, you will be your enemy. If you persist, you will be your family. It's that simple.

After all, the knife on his neck can't be a decoration.

The outbreak of the nest case in the states along the Yellow River has caused a chain reaction. The impact of what they committed cannot be limited to the local area, nor can the perpetrators be limited to the local area. Otherwise, there is no reason for prices in Tai'an to rise further.

Therefore, Yanzhou, Weizhou, Tai'an, Mizhou, Juzhou and other places also have landlords, wealthy businessmen and officials involved.

The embezzled public funds and building materials were digested in the local and southern states through various channels, sold, and flowed into the market. After driving up local prices, they were washed back and returned to the officials.

In the process, the white gloves in charge of the operation also made a lot of profits, and they were very happy to make money.

This was originally their traditional art. Back then, when Jin Guo was still there, whenever there was any project in the local area, they operated it like this.

Anyway, as long as the project has an appearance, it doesn't matter if all the materials used are defective or even defective. As for when the project was destroyed, it doesn't matter what crime the people committed.

When luck hits, the project funds have just been allocated here to prepare for construction, and the Dajinguo over there will be killed by the Mingguo and replaced.

Hey!Isn't this headless koan done? !
Blood earned is simply.

However, as the saying goes, the cycle of retribution is unhappy, how good the profit was before, and the more miserable the loss is now.

The Ming Kingdom began to pull the list.

How much you earned before, you can spit it out for me now, and Su Yonglin decided to carry forward the excellent taxation tradition of the warlords, and come back with a retrospective account - not to mention the debts of the Ming Kingdom, you also have to pay the debts of the Jin Kingdom. !

What, the Ming Kingdom does not collect the debts of the Jin Kingdom?
If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give you the debt of the Northern Song Dynasty!

All in all, it is trying to find ways to copy the family and exterminate the family.

Hundreds of officials, landlords, and wealthy merchants' homes have been confiscated in the first wave of state capitals such as Dongping Prefecture, and Su Yonglin's appetite was far from being filled, so he pointed the finger at the prefectures in southern Shandong.

One of the first to bear the brunt is Yanzhou.

Of course, the first person in the Yanzhou territory is the protagonist of the protagonists - Kong Shi.

After interrogation, Cui Zhi, a member of Yidu Prefecture, honestly confessed that he had conspired to deal with a batch of building materials without the knowledge of Shangguan and a certain branch of the Kong family.

This branch of the Kong family is mainly engaged in this part of the business. It belongs to the tool people branch of the Kong family that goes out to do business and make money to maintain the luxury life of the main family.

And there are not a lot of such branches in the Kong family, and they are basically borne by concubines who are not paid attention to in the process of inheritance.

In the end, a family can't all be high-class people who can sit back and enjoy the success. Some people must be able to do some dirty work, otherwise the Kong family's foundation will be exhausted long ago.
