Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 153 Tax Audit
Anger poured down from Zhu Yuanzhang's body like gushing magma.

Blank print.

In order to be able to match the tax amount, stamp it in advance.

How is such behavior different from self-stealing?
Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong lowered their heads and did not say another word.

Explaining or something is simply adding fuel to the fire.

"Shang Shan, let me thoroughly investigate this matter. I want to know how many officials are involved in this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang's cold words sounded, such an old Zhu is a precursor to murder.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Shanchang responded immediately.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang left, and Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong stood where they were, waiting for a long time.

"My lord, Your Majesty has left."

Hu Weiyong said to Li Shanchang who was still standing still.

Li Shanchang let out a sigh of relief, looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "I know, but it's better to stand for a while."

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment, but then nodded and said, "My lord, the Prime Minister, has a good opinion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang appeared on the street again, but his face was obviously ugly.

"what happened?"

Empress Ma asked Old Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma and said, "The courage of the people below is really too great!"

Lao Zhu is angry, but what is most angry is not corruption, but that everyone has united to deceive him.

All over the country, there are at least a thousand officials in charge of taxation.

According to Li Shanchang, these people followed the method of the Yuan Dynasty and used blank printing to ensure that the actual and registered quantities of grain were always correct.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know this from beginning to end.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, who likes to be suspicious, this feeling of being deceived has no room for negotiation at all.

kill!

Must kill!

Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent could no longer be restrained.

"Pay attention, this is outside, let's talk about it when we go home."

Empress Ma said immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang can get angry all he wants in the palace, but this is Lishui County.

There are some things that should be restrained or must be restrained.

"No, I can't wait for a moment, I'll go back now."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened. He hadn't thought about this Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Huh? Where did Su Jing and the children go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a glance, but did not find any trace of Su Jing and his sons.

Empress Ma replied: "Mr. Su took the children to the front to play, and I asked them to come back."

Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, Empress Ma immediately called everyone back.

"Is this going back?"

Su Jing was a little surprised when he learned that Lao Zhu was leaving soon.

But when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's ashen face, he realized that the problem should be quite serious.

Although the princes still have something to say, they dare not disobey Lao Zhu's order in the slightest.

Because the carriages were all outside Su Jing's small courtyard, all the people returned to Su Jing's home first.

"Uncle, you have to take it easy when you have something to do. You can be angry when you are angry, but you can't be angry."

Su Jing said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, if the servants of the family unite to deceive you, what will you do?"

"Obviously I've made repeated orders, but they still treat me as if I don't exist, thinking that I'm easy to deceive."

Although he was leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to ask Su Jing for his opinion.

He really couldn't ask about the others.

Because Su Jing didn't know his identity, it could be said more objectively.

"This needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis."

Su Jing said indifferently: "But seeing how angry uncle is, it should be a matter of principle."

"If something like this happens to me, punishment is definitely necessary, but the most important thing is not punishment."

Ok?
Hearing Su Jing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Su Jing, what do you mean by that?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's very simple. Punishment is the treatment of those who made mistakes after something happened, but it is not the fundamental way to solve a problem."

"Although punishment can serve as a wake-up call to others, the effect is limited."

"For example, in Ming Dynasty, we killed a lot of corrupt officials last year, but this year is not the same, and we can't finish killing them."

Su Jing casually used a corrupt official as an example.

But Su Jing's words directly made Lao Zhu's face change suddenly.

Originally, he planned to return to the palace immediately, but upon hearing this, he sat down again.

"Su Jing, come on, you and I have a good talk, how to solve this problem?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Su Jing, which was a bit like a courteous corporal.

No?

Su Jing was a little confused by Zhu Yuanzhang's operation.

"Uncle, don't you have something urgent, go now."

Su Jing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and urged.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry, we'll talk later. Boss, come and listen with me too."

Not only did Lao Zhu not leave, but he also asked Zhu Biao to come and listen together.

This wave, the truth made Su Jing a little confused.

But with Lao Zhu's attitude, it is obvious that he will not leave unless he speaks carefully.

Zhu Biao also came to the two of them. As for the other princes, no one went there.

Because Lao Zhu's cold face just now was enough to dissuade them.

"No, uncle, what on earth are you going to say?"

Su Jing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said helplessly, "You didn't even tell me anything, what should I say."

This.
When Lao Zhu was told by Su Jing, he immediately hesitated.

The matter in the court hall cannot be told to Su Jing publicly.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Su Jing, it's like this. I have a thousand acres of fertile land in my family. Isn't this autumn harvest just over? When the grain is harvested, the people below will unite to deceive me. Isn't this a good thing?" It just started this year, but it was there last year."

After a wave of descriptions by Lao Zhu, the taxes in various places in Ming Dynasty were successfully turned into the harvest of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Anyway, it probably means almost enough.

"Thousand acres of fertile land?"

Su Jing glanced at Lao Zhu, and said with a scrutinizing look: "Uncle, don't you have to make it up when you lie to me?"

Old Zhu was taken aback, a little in disbelief.

How did Su Jing instantly realize that she was lying to him?
Has your identity been leaked?

Should not love!

Ever since Su Jing taught Zhu Biao, he had never been out of Lishui County, and the farthest was Donglu Mountain for the first time.

But that was still within the territory of Lishui County.

Just when Lao Zhu was puzzled, Su Jing's next sentence made him stunned.

"As far as your status is concerned, at least it must be fertile land of more than [-] mu."

Su Jing said with a smile.

He guessed Lao Zhu's identity, probably one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

Although I don't remember exactly how many acres of land these people received, but a thousand acres is really too little.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed slightly, and he smiled immediately: "It's not important, Su Jing, just tell me what to do."

It turned out that Su Jing felt that this was wrong, and Lao Zhu felt a lot more at ease.

And Zhu Biao, who was on the side, also realized what his father Zhu Yuanzhang said.

tax thing.

There is not a piece of Daming's land that does not belong to the Zhu family.

He also understood why Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry. Taxation is the foundation of a country.

It is audacious for someone to make a fuss about this matter.

Of course, in front of Su Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao still listened obediently.

Su Jing briefly thought about it, and said, "Uncle, let me ask, is there a problem with your property being handed in after the tenants have planted it, or is there a problem with the servants who are in charge of confiscating it?"

In ancient times, there were too many lands owned by officials and gentry, so they definitely couldn't grow them by themselves.

At this time, tenants appeared, farming specifically for the officials and gentry, most of which went to the officials and gentry, and a small part went to the tenants as remuneration.

In the Ming Dynasty, the officials and gentry did not pay for food, and the food was enough for the officials and gentry's own pockets.

"Naturally, there is a problem with the person responsible for the collection, and the tenants don't have the guts to do so."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

Between farmers and officials, he still prefers farmers.

After hearing this, Su Jing nodded slightly and said: "Then I understand, it's not too difficult to solve this problem."

"How to deal with it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.

The officials under him jointly deceived themselves. What he wanted was not only to kill these guys, but also to prevent the same thing from happening again.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "I've talked with Niu Yi about similar issues. In the final analysis, this is still corruption, as long as we do a good job in anti-corruption work."

"Niu Yi, it's up to you to tell your father."

Su Jing and Zhu have already talked about the anti-corruption within the enterprise.

In Su Jing's view, this is completely the match.

But as soon as Su Jing finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Su Jing, to tell you the truth, the anti-corruption boss you teach has mentioned it to me a long time ago, and I have also tried it. This time, I was able to find this problem because of your anti-corruption method."

"I want to ask, can this situation not happen again."

Li Shanchang's report was very detailed, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well how to discover the problem.

Su Jing was taken aback, and glanced at Zhu Biao.

I was a little surprised that the anti-corruption that I handed over to Zhu Biao had already been learned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But it's normal to think about it.

Zhu Biao is the eldest son of Lao Zhu, and he will inherit the family business in the future. His family is not a small family, so it is reasonable to use anti-corruption.

"Now that you know everything, you should also understand that greed is human nature and cannot be eradicated."

Su Jing said lightly.

This matter of eradicating corruption is a big problem that has not been solved until Su Jing's previous life.

And not in one country, but everywhere.

It can be said that wherever people gather, there is greed.

How to prevent this is impossible.

Lao Zhu was a little disappointed after hearing this, this was not the result he wanted.

"Master Su, is there a way to just prevent this from happening again?"

Zhu Biao asked.

Greed is a big problem that cannot be solved.

But what if it's just a matter of taxes?
Su Jing thought briefly for a moment, and said: "If your family collects grain, it is actually similar to Ming Dynasty's collection of taxes. You need to gather the people's grain together, and then transport it to one place."

"The difference may be that your family's property is relatively concentrated and the loss is relatively small, while Daming's tax collection is transported from almost every place in the country, and the loss is relatively large."

Because Su Jing knew that people in the Ming Dynasty basically handed over the mu water talisman mainly for food, so he subconsciously connected the two together.

"Yes, Su Jing, you are right, almost."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded immediately and said, "My family has a lot of property, and it's not very concentrated, so it's quite troublesome to confiscate it."

Since Su Jing directly mentioned taxation, Lao Zhu couldn't be happier.

"In the end there is still a lack of a good tax audit."

Su Jing said lightly.

tax audit?

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, he said: "I imitated the emperor and set up a tax bureau at home to collect these grains. Isn't it useless?"

Taxation Bureau, that is, Daming's Taxation Bureau.

The tax collection is managed by this organization.

As a businessman of Ming Dynasty, Su Jing naturally knew about the tax bureau.

"Not bad, a bit of management awareness."

When Su Jing heard that Lao Zhu actually set up a tax bureau in his home, he also praised him.

A huge family, in fact, is similar to a giant enterprise, it needs scientific management to develop better.

"It's just that I'm not talking about the tax bureau, but the tax inspection system."

Su Jing added: "Take Daming's tax bureau as an example. In fact, tax collection is a normal collection. If someone evades tax, there is actually no good way to find out."

"But when you use a reasonable tax audit, it's a different story."

As the largest businessman in Lishui County, Su Jing himself did not do any tax evasion, but he was very aware of the loopholes in Daming's tax collection.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be blamed for this.

After all, Daming was still a feudal society, dominated by the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and the commodity economy was very weak.

The matter of paying taxes is also quite simple and rude.

Unlike the previous life, there are various types of business operations, and there are also various methods of tax collection.

Looking at Daming's taxation issues from the perspective of the CEO of a listed company in Su Jing's previous life, it was a proper dimensionality reduction blow.

"Su Jing, what should I do with this tax audit?"

Old Zhu was obviously attracted, and hurriedly asked.

Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Biao who was beside him took out a pen and paper from nowhere.

"Okay, let me tell you about the basic method of tax audit."

Su Jing said slowly: "There are quite a lot of content in it, including the sequential search method, the reverse search method, the detailed search method, the spot check method, the verification method, the inquiry method, the comparative analysis method, the control calculation method, the complex method, and the adjustment method. and inventory law, etc.”

Just after Su Jing said the name of this method, Lao Zhu was a little surprised.

Is this tax audit so complicated?

However, Su Jing did not stop, but continued to explain the details of these methods.

"The forward search method is mainly the original vouchers, accounting vouchers, accounting books, accounting statements, and tax information, while the reverse inspection method is mainly the original vouchers of tax information, accounting statements, accounting books, and accounting vouchers"

Su Jing was eloquent, and the tax review knowledge in his mind came out in one go.

Don't look at him as a businessman, but as a successful law-abiding businessman, he is also very proficient in taxation.

While Su Jing was talking, Zhu Biao kept recording.

Lao Zhu sat there bewildered as if he was listening to a book from heaven.

There are so many new words that it is difficult to digest for a while.
