Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 709 Strikes hard
"Great Jingzhao, there are too many people to arrest."

Outside the Qianqing Gate, Guan Shaoning had a solemn expression on his face. He followed Han Yiliang closely and said as he walked: "Shuntian Prefecture can take care of the people we want to arrest, but if we arrest them, I'm afraid that the public opinion in the capital will definitely..."

"Catch him first, then talk about it."

Han Yiliang frowned and said, "You have seen your majesty's attitude. What's more, what these treacherous villains are doing is not just to make money. They are trying to shake our new currency system and threaten the stability of our country!"

"This government really didn't expect that someone would be so audacious. The counterfeit currency case has been discovered. If it hadn't been discovered and allowed to run rampant among the people, it would not only subvert the new currency regulations, but also undermine the majesty of our laws!!"

When he said this, Han Yilian looked forward.

Zhang Weixian, Fan Jingwen, Sun Guozhen, Yu Yinggui, Shao Jiechun, Lu Guanxiang, Chen Ce, He Kegang, You Shiwei... all of them were in a hurry.

The joint arrest launched this time was massive, and it was a clear division of responsibilities by the emperor. During the joint arrest, the Beijing Security Commissioner's Office was responsible for the security of the capital, the detective team was responsible for the groups that hoarded and circulated counterfeit currency in Beijing, the Shuntian Prefecture was responsible for the merchants who accepted counterfeit currency in Beijing, the National Taxation Bureau was responsible for the tax customs in Beijing, the Shaofu was personally responsible for the internal rectification, the three major camps were responsible for the groups that had been investigated in various parts of the capital, and the three major camps were responsible for inspections and martial law in various places in the capital.

This only involves the deployment in the capital, and the deployment in local areas is even more serious.

After the joint arrest is launched, the Baoding Garrison Commander's Office will be responsible for the arrests and martial law checks in Baoding, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping and Daming prefectures, while the Tianjin Garrison Commander's Office will be responsible for the arrests and martial law checks in Tianjin, Hejian and Yongping prefectures. Once the detective team, the National Taxation Bureau and others have resolved all matters in the capital, they will immediately dispatch personnel to assist in the investigation. When the trend of counterfeit currency in northern Zhili is eradicated, the local martial law will be lifted.

This scale is unprecedented.

This level of intensity is unprecedented.

What impressed Han Yilian the most was the Tax Police Corps directly under the National Taxation Bureau, which was a system that had never existed before.

Speaking of tax police, Han Yilian had an impression that Yuan Shizhen had mentioned this matter after he took office as the Minister of Salt Law. His department also planned to set up a tax police team, but he had never heard of a tax police corps directly under him!

The emperor probably wants to punish more than just the villains in the counterfeit currency case.

Han Yilian thought about this and pondered secretly in his heart. He always felt that this matter was not that simple. After all, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has done too many shocking things.

In fact, Han Yilian guessed correctly.

Dong Nuan Pavilion at that time.

"Has the General Taxation Police Corps directly under the Salt Law arrived in Lianghuai?"

Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and leaned against the cushion and asked Liu Ruoyu.

"Your Majesty, the urgent message has arrived at the Imperial Household Department, and the Salt Tax Police Corps has arrived in Lianghuai." After hearing this, Liu Ruoyu bowed his head and said.

"Tax collection, tax inspection and tax recovery should be handed over to the relevant officials. Relying solely on the factory guards is not a long-term solution." Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile.

"It's been three years since the Tianqi Revelation. The court should conduct a comprehensive investigation and recover all taxes that have been levied on the country. I want all taxes that should be levied to be paid into the national treasury. I want those tax evaders, tax avoiders, and tax evaders to spit out the taxes that they ate!"

Liu Ruoyu's heart tightened, and his hanging hands trembled slightly. Directly under the General Taxation Police Corps, there are not only national taxation and salt law departments.

In the past year, when the political situation was turbulent and tense, the two major camps in Xishan and Fengtai, without the knowledge of the outside world, drew troops to form a number of directly affiliated tax police corps. In addition to the tax items involved in the national tax and salt law officials, there were also many tax items such as land tax, capitation tax, customs tax, tea tax, commercial tax, and mining tax, each with a corresponding directly affiliated tax police corps.

These special armed tax collection teams are usually stationed in the capital area. Their current expenses are directly allocated from the imperial treasury. When they appear one by one, the corresponding departments will be responsible for bearing the expenses.

While stationed in the capital area, in addition to undergoing various drills, they also had to receive literacy training, study tax knowledge, and all management was in line with military standards.

If during this period, the imperial court dares to find problems with the corresponding tax items, the corresponding direct-affiliated tax police corps will be responsible for inspection, recovery and other duties to ensure that all the tax money that should have gone into the national treasury is recovered in full. At the same time, the arrest, execution, and confiscation of the groups involved will also be the responsibility of the direct-affiliated tax police corps!

This was a key step in Zhu Youxiao's overall tax reform, and he asked Bi Ziyan and others to sort it out in front. During this period, when major tax cases broke out, they were no longer assisted by the factory guards, but by the directly affiliated tax police corps.

When the old tax system of the Ming Dynasty is clarified and rectified, the various taxes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue will be gradually transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the government office specializing in supervising taxation. At that time, this group of transitional direct-affiliated tax police corps will be unified under the government office specializing in taxation, and then deeper reforms and adjustments will be carried out.

"You bastards, aren't you all shouting that the imperial guards interfering in taxation is a disaster for the country and the people? Fine! Then I won't use the imperial guards' power, and see how you shout."

While Liu Ruoyu was thinking, Zhu Youxiao's words made Liu Ruoyu bury his head even lower, and the tension and fear in his heart became even stronger.

"All the eunuchs sent to guard the city have been dismissed and recalled to the capital. Do you think I have no way to deal with you? This is really a big joke. I have asked the Ming men who are loyal to the country to be incorporated into the various tax police corps. I want to see how you will respond."

When he said this, Zhu Youxiao showed a faint smile.

It has been three years since the Apocalypse, and many internal and external troubles have been resolved. It is time to free up our hands to rectify the tax system!

Those who can join the Tax Police Corps all have one thing in common: they are all brave soldiers who have fought on the battlefield, but because of injuries or disabilities, they can no longer stay in the army.

In order to eliminate the worries of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty, this group of brave soldiers who were forced to retire from active service, as long as they did not affect the operations of the tax police corps, the blind, the broken-handed, the lame... were all gathered by Zhu Youxiao from all over the place. They could not go to the battlefield, but they were more than enough to deal with a bunch of treacherous villains!

Currency consolidation is just the beginning.

Tax coherence is also key.

These two major aspects must be controlled by the court, and no group can interfere, including special organizations such as the Censorate and the Imperial Guard.

Acting in accordance with the law is the key to maintaining the rule of law and curbing privileges. The counterfeit currency case that broke out this time is just the beginning. Starting from the third year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao wants to let the world know how tough the central government’s attitude towards taxation is!
"Go, summon Bi Ziyan to come see me."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said to Liu Ruoyu.

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu immediately bowed in response.

Zhu Youxiao could not hide his excitement when he thought about launching a comprehensive tax inspection of the two capitals and 13 provinces from the third year of Tianqi. The external threats had been deterred, and the internal rectification should be strengthened. Zhu Youxiao wanted to recover all the interests of the imperial court that had been stolen in the past. With this huge source of funds, the reforms to be promoted next would have the confidence! !
