The poem goes: Talents have emerged from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years.

Will the death of Ouyang Xiu completely end an era?

If we look at it from the surface, with Shenzong ascending the throne and Han Qi leaving the capital, it has already announced that the era of the Four Gentlemen of Qingli is coming to an end.

But this is not the case.

The current disputes between the DPRK and China over ideals, ideas, and various overt and covert struggles are all influenced by personal experience in the era of the Four Gentlemen.

Although they are not in the court, their thoughts have always affected the situation of the court, whether they are conservatives or reformists.

If Fan Zhongyan hadn't started the reform, there might not have been Wang Anshi's reform in the future.

The two actually have a very close relationship.

The conservatives headed by Sima Guang actually inherited the ideas of the Qingli New Deal.

This may seem contradictory, as the reformists and conservatives both come from the same faction, but in fact it is just logical.

Because Sima Guang and his group did not want to reform, but they wanted to inherit Fan Zhongyan's reform ideas and reduce expenditures, which meant streamlining officials and prescribing the right medicine.

However, they believe that the time is not yet ripe, and the result of reform now will still be the same as that of the Qingli period. Han Qi, Fu Bi, and Ouyang Xiu all think so. They see no hope of success, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

They themselves believed that the Qingli New Deal not only failed to improve the government's affairs, but actually made the country go from bad to worse.

They now have to focus on recuperation, both externally and internally.

Wait until the time is right before making changes.

They are the kind of waiting party.

Not to mention, the Four Gentlemen of Qingli also had many disciples, such as Su Shi. Su Che's political philosophy was very similar to Ouyang Xiu.

Even when it comes to the issue of Dongliu and Beiliu, they all belong to the Beiliu faction of Ouyang Xiu.

However, their era has ended, not because of their death, but because of the emergence of the public security organs.

The ideas and systems of the public security organs and the judiciary were unprecedented during the Qingli period.

The current social changes are unprecedented.

For example, taxes.

This year, Tokyo Bianliang is fully implementing the new tax system, which is to apply the exemption tax design to the total tax.

Compared with the previous implementation of the exemption law, the opposition this time was much smaller, because the tax department mainly targeted the extra income of the powerful, and they did not have many reasons to oppose it. They did not stop it the first time, and now they are even more

Can't stop it.

But it doesn't mean that they will be willing to pay taxes.

They are also trying hard to avoid taxes in various ways.

In fact, it is not just the rich, but also ordinary people. This is human nature.

After two months of hard work, all taxes have been collected, and now comes the exciting moment to see who can be randomly inspected.

It was winter now, and in the early morning, the biting cold wind was getting better. It was like a knife, tearing a small slit from people's faces. The sour feeling was self-evident. But for

The people who were seeking a living carried their burdens and braved the cold wind to go to the city to do business.

In front of the market.

A salesman driving a donkey cart was registering when he was suddenly stopped by two men in gray and white uniforms.

This moment attracted the attention of many people.

Because only the Tokyo tax police wear gray-white uniforms, and there is a big word - tax embroidered in the middle of the uniform.

It's that straightforward.

Everyone looked at the salesman with "congratulations".

"Congratulations to Hexia Village in the southern suburbs?"

a tax policeman asked.

"Yes, he is a villain." The salesman said tremblingly.

Another tax policeman flipped through his little book, then nodded to his companion, "Yes, it's him."

At the same time, he took out a piece of paper and gave it to his companion.

The tax policeman who asked the question took the piece of paper and said to the salesman: "According to the investigation of our tax department, you resold a batch of medicinal materials worth 60 yuan in June this year, but you were not listed on the tax bill.

Write it down. We must punish you according to the law. This is the tax and fine you need to pay."

With that said, he handed over the ticket.

"Ouch!"

The salesman suddenly looked aggrieved and said, "Two tax policemen, you were wronged...I...I really forgot. I will make up for it, and I will make up for it right away. Please don't punish me."

The tax policeman said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry! I only have the power to give you a fine. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to Erbi to complain. If you think our tax department has done anything wrong, you can also go to the procuratorate to complain.

.”

Seeing that his plea for mercy was in vain, the salesman had no choice but to accept the fine. In anger, he said again: "Two tax policemen, are you having a hard time?"

The tax policeman looked at him suspiciously.

The salesman said: "They won't even spare us small fish and shrimps."

The tax policeman nodded and said, "Yes."

Among the people watching on the sidelines, some of them had their eyes wandering around with guilty consciences.

In the past, the tax department specialized in investigating wealthy businessmen and powerful people, and rarely investigated the taxes of ordinary people. Many ordinary people were lucky.

...

Headquarters Police Station.

In the early morning, Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi sat at the headquarters, scalding hot wine and drinking it.

"Brother, I heard that Third Brother is in a lawsuit, shall we go and take a look?" Ma Xiaoyi put down his wine glass and winked at Cao Dongdong.

"Don't go!"

"Why?"

"Shall we watch those tax policemen showing off their power?"

Cao Dongdong hummed: "Recently, those tax police have been attacking everywhere, and the people no longer look at our royal police. To be presumptuous, the tax police have to be presumptuous. We still have to find a way to get around there, but it's much more interesting."

Ma Xiaoyi said: "I have already said that I wonder if my brother can transfer us there?"

Cao Dongdong said: "Brother, if there is a way, why should I sit here and sigh? Eh? Tax policeman?"

"What tax policeman?"

Ma Xiaoyi said in astonishment.

Cao Dongdong pointed toward the door.

Ma Xiaoyi looked back and saw a royal policeman talking to two tax policemen.

Cao Dongdong shouted at the top of his lungs: "Liu Er, what's the matter?"

The royal policeman named Liu Er immediately ushered the two tax policemen into the hall.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ya Nei, they said someone in our police station is evading taxes," Liu Er said.

Cao Dongdong stood up suddenly, "Impossible, how could someone in our police station evade taxes?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ma Xiaoyi.

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Brother, no matter what I do, Bianjing Law Firm will handle all my money, so I can't make any mistakes."

The tax police officer said: "Excuse me, Deputy Superintendent Cao, is there a person named Fu Shichun in your main police station?"

"Koharu?"

Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi exclaimed at the same time.

But then the two of them started rolling their eyes wildly.

"Quick, quick, hurry up and call Xiaochun. There will be something good to watch this time. Hahaha!"

"I didn't expect that Brother Xiaochun would be such a person and he would evade taxes."

.....

The two people immediately became happy.

After a while, Fu Shichun walked in angrily, "Who is it? Who said I evaded taxes? Do I, Fu Shichun, care about those few small coins? It is unreasonable to ruin my reputation."

A ring of royal police officers watched at the door.

Cao Dongdong immediately shouted: "Xiaochun, they are just two little tax policemen."

As he spoke, he excitedly said to the two tax policemen: "He is Fu Shichun."

Fu Shichun said to the two tax policemen: "Did you make a mistake?"
