I have to say that Zhang Fei's plan really scared Zhao Xu.

He had never thought of relying on the Department of Taxation to expand territory.

At first glance, it seems outrageous.

But judging from the letter sent by Privy Councilor Han Jiang from the Xihe area and the previous actions of the Taxation Department on Jingdong East Road.

It's really not impossible.

If it were a war, the Tax Department would definitely not be suitable.

But when it comes to facing chiefs and bandits, the Tax Department is indeed more useful than the army.

Because the only thing the tax department has to abide by is the tax law, but the problem is that those people will definitely not pay taxes.

In other words, the Taxation Department can use all means to deal with those people.

It's not like marching and fighting. No matter what you do, you need military orders, and you even have to wait for the emperor's orders.

The Taxation Department has only one purpose, taxation.

And the emperor used them for one purpose, money.

The two sides hit it off immediately and were intimate.

It is undoubtedly most appropriate to use the tax department to deal with those chiefs.

That is a fat pig, which can be eaten immediately after being slaughtered.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be military force to suppress the battle.

When sending troops directly, Zhao Xu had previously considered the issue of military expenses. However, if sending troops there would provide a foundation for the Public Security Bureau and provide soil for the Taxation Department, this deal would become a very good deal.

Although the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate Law will affect a little bit of the imperial power, compared to the prison system, the Public Security Procuratorate Law is almost 10,000 times stronger. Zhao Xu only needs to control the central legislation to control the remote areas.

Therefore, after talking with Zhang Fei, Zhao Xu immediately called Li Bao and asked Li Bao if the tax department could collect the tax if he wanted to go to Guangnan West Road.

When Li Bao heard this problem, he almost didn't think about it. He told Zhao Xu that as long as the tax policemen on Jingdong East Road were transferred there, it would be possible.

Zhao Xu was confused, why did you answer so quickly? Were you prepared?

Li Bao immediately explained the reason.

When it comes to talented people with unique skills, the Taxation Department of Hezhong Prefecture undoubtedly has the most talent. Many of them came out of prison, so they are all full of talented people!

But when it comes to ruthlessness, no one can compare to the Taxation Department on Jingdong East Road.

Everything over there is typed.

In fact, at first they just wanted to use Wu Tian to scare the monkeys, or to take revenge.

But after the verdict was handed down, the tax department suddenly discovered that these gangsters were really rich, and all of it was cash flow. After the fight, they could divide the spoils, no, they could get the reward immediately. In addition, Zhao Xu sent the front

Si Song kept his promise and turned the local army into royal police and tax police.

As the Taxation Department became stronger, there was no reason to let those bandits go, so the suppression of bandits there continued. During that period, the Taxation Department continued to recruit talents from the bandits, so it became stronger and more powerful.

fierce.

But as the grass bandits were wiped out and Jingdong East Road returned to peace, the question also emerged, that is, how to deal with these ruthless people.

You have to keep looking for new fat sheep.

Otherwise, they will focus on the common people. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat!

But Jiangnan is really not suitable for them, because there are mostly scholar-bureaucrats there, and the culture and business are relatively prosperous. They are not serious or serious. If they accidentally break someone's arm, it will be a big disaster.

The tax policemen currently entering Jiangnan are all from Hezhong Prefecture, and they are all purely technical talents.

Therefore, when Zhao Xu asked this question, Li Bao immediately thought that the tax policemen on Jingdong East Road might become a disaster if they stayed on Jingdong East Road. There were many gangsters inside, and they had no place to use them.

Li Bao can assure you with all his heart that those chiefs and village owners are no match for our tax department.

When Zhao Xu saw that Li Bao was so confident, what else could he say? He immediately asked Li Bao to make arrangements and dispatch the tax police from Jingdong East Road south to open up new tax sources.

Moreover, Zhao Xu said generously that when the fine comes, we will still be 37%, and the court will only take 30%. At the same time, we will also get 37% of the local tax increase, and the Taxation Department will take 30% as bonuses and the development of the Taxation Department.

funds.

This must give them enough incentives, because there is actually no very clear boundary there. The implication is to encourage them to open up more tax areas.

The more tax zones there are, the more you get.

After the decision was made, Zhao Xu discussed the selection issue with Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei really had a good candidate, the original Shaanxi Road Manager Guo Kui.

It's not that he was very familiar with Guo Kui, it was just that Wang Shao's success reminded him of Guo Kui, because Guo Kui was also in Hezhong Prefecture at that time and had been disarmament and adjusting military expenditures in accordance with the Public Security Law.

Very clear.

Among the generals, there are very few who are familiar with the public prosecutor's law.

This candidate also immediately won Zhao Xu's approval.

Because Guo Kui was not from Wang Anshi's faction and was more conservative, the relationship between Guo Kui and Han Qi was very good during the court.

Wang Anshi advocated toughness. In Zhao Xu's view, if he wanted to adopt Zhang Fei's strategy of using both kindness and power instead of attacking Jiaozhi immediately, Guo Kui would be a better candidate.

So Zhao Xu informed Wang Anshi of his plan when he was having trouble with Wang Anshi.

This immediately aroused Wang Anshi's dissatisfaction. He and Guo Kui disliked each other, and Guo Kui and Wang Shao couldn't get along. Therefore, after Wang Shao took charge of the Xihe War, Wang Anshi transferred Guo Kui to Northern Xinjiang.

Let Guo Kui go, he will definitely not be able to achieve my strategic goals.

Zhao Xu also patiently explained to Wang Anshi that now it has been decided that the country's focus will shift from the outside to the inside. Although this is a good time, once troops are used externally, the ministers will be confused about the direction, whether to release or withdraw, and at the same time,

It aroused suspicion between Liao and Xixia and caused unnecessary trouble.

Let's just endure it to the end and wait another two years.

Wang Anshi could only give up.

Because he now clearly knows his position. He is just an assistant, not an ADC. Now Zhao Xu is personally presiding over the government affairs. Whether it is foreign affairs or internal affairs, Zhao Xu is now personally involved in everything.

Alum Tower.

The wind is so cold outside that passers-by can hardly open their eyes, but inside the building is in full swing because today the Bailun Building welcomes a distinguished guest.

It was Cao Dongdong who had just returned.

"Asshole!"

But when Cao Dongdong jumped on the chair and glared at everyone, "Don't look down on others. My old Cao family will be afraid of the Khitan people. At that time, my office learned that the Khitan people were invading, but without saying a word, I had to take people to meet them.

It’s all the fault of Zhang Sanxiao’er. He said there was a small path that could go around the northern tent, and he also said he wanted to learn from Huo Qubing, so I believed him, but that kid deceived me into going to Taiyuan Mansion.”

A young man laughed and said, "Don't brag. This one goes north and the other goes south. Don't you know the difference between north and south?"

Many people immediately started booing.

Cao Dongdong said angrily: "I asked about it at the time, but he said it was a detour. It was my first time going there, and I was not familiar with the local road conditions. I couldn't tell whether it was south or north because it was going around.

.”

"These are all your words. Do you have any evidence?"

"Many officials were present at the time. Go and ask them if this is what happened. If I lie even a little bit, I will die."

The excited Cao Dongdong raised his right hand and swore to God.

At the back door, a man in his thirties saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "What a good brother!"

At this time, the shopkeeper of Baifan Building suddenly came over and said, "The recent renovations in the building are really troublesome for Brother Bao."

This man is none other than Li Bao.

Li Bao said hurriedly: "No thank you, no thank you. I have to thank your store for giving us this opportunity to make money."

"That's also the work of your craftsmen!" The shopkeeper waved his hand, and two bartenders came forward with a pair of silk cloths. "This is your reward, you order it."

Li Bao glanced at it and couldn't help but said depressedly: "Shopkeeper, I don't want silk, I want coins."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Brother Bao, don't be surprised. This customer often comes to eat with silk cloths recently. The shop doesn't have much money, so you can just make do with it."

Li Bao frowned and said, "But our contract states coins, not silk."

"That is, that is."

The shopkeeper nodded, and then said: "Brother Bao insists on asking for money, so we can give him money, but Brother Bao, our Baifen Building needs to be repaired every year, you see..."

Li Bao sighed, "Okay, if you have a job in the future, remember to come to us."

"sure."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

Li Bao took all the silk cloths, glanced at Cao Dongdong who was still arguing with others, a smile flashed in his eyes, and left.

As soon as he left, Fan Yong came over quietly, "You didn't say anything, did you?"

The shopkeeper quickly replied: "I'm a little dissatisfied, but he can only accept it, unless he doesn't want to take over the business of our Baifan Building."
