Chapter 37: Cleanse to Thorough Mastery
Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded: "Well done." But that's not the end of the story. Alright, keep reading! ”
Hearing this, Chang Zhilang laughed and continued: "Because of the change in the tax rate, the price of Linqing has indeed changed as the adults said, and the price of rice has dropped from the original 67 yuan to 58 yuan of rice because of the continuous import of Taihu rice. It is worth mentioning that because of today's bamboo and wood lottery incident, the price of rice in the city has also risen for a short time. But after the adults recited the decree in court, the price of rice fell in response. According to the data currently available to the sub-supervisor, the price of high-end luxury goods in the city has also risen rapidly due to the change in the tax rate, but there is no more information to observe the change. ”
Zhu Cihong chuckled and nodded: "Okay, well done." The person who participated in this matter in the sub-prison will take a credit, and Chang Zhilang, you will be the first credit. When the sub-prison side hands over the report, I will make contributions for you. ”
Chang Zhilang excitedly said: "The adults approve, and the subordinates remember it." ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand: "My subordinates have the most important rules, don't worry about rewards and punishments, you can't lose anything to your good life." However, after the meritorious remuneration continues, the data of various changes caused by the change of the tax rate will continue to be recorded as a reference basis for future tax rate changes. In addition, the attitude of all parties in the city towards the change of tax rate should also be observed and written down as a long-term work. In addition, the construction of the sub-supervision of the tax department should also be accelerated. With this new amount of silver, the tax collector will have much more money. Build a little house, hire a few doctors, you can be generous! ”
Chang Zhilang brushed and recorded Zhu Cihong's words on a piece of cardboard in his hand.
As the head of the tax department, although Zhu Cihong has countless subordinates who can run around to do things for him, Zhu Cihong is not as indulged in pleasure every day as his predecessor Chu Lushan, but often goes down to the front line to understand the situation. In this way, Zhu Cihong often proposes rectification on the spot for the problems found, and new rules and regulations often appear.
Although Zhu Cihong has never forgotten it, he has an excellent memory, and he can recall everything he has said. But it's not a thing after a long time. So Zhu Cihong asked his craftsmen to make a thick cardboard and made a batch of quill pens as shorthand tools.
After that, the tax department quietly began to have an extra piece of thick cardboard in their hands, and a quill pen was pinned to their ears.
Next, Chang Zhilang reported on the preparatory progress of some sub-supervisors of the State Supervision and Taxation Department. It doesn't matter much now.
Immediately after, Wu Sen and Yan Wei rushed over.
Seeing these two people rushing over, Zhu Cihong also ordered the two to sit down.
After a short time, Wu Sen began to report on his work.
Don't engage in any polite nonsense, this is also the atmosphere that Zhu Cihong established when he was in the household department at the beginning.
Wu Sen is in charge of the audit office and is also the most critical part of reconciling the tax bill. Now, after taking this important position, Wu Sen is full of spirit, his expression is excited, and his tone gives people a high-spirited atmosphere. I only heard him say excitedly: "Today's tax return, the ship is worth seven hundred and sixty-three taels and three dollars." The commercial tax was two thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven taels and nine dollars and five cents. Seven cases of underreporting and omission were investigated and punished, and it is estimated that about 639 taels of silver will be confiscated in the treasury. In total, the ship's materials and commercial taxes are much more than in the past. It's just that these are not tax dollars that can be put into the warehouse in one day today. Because of the Watergate incident, many ship owners and merchants have queued up to report, so I am afraid that these things have a normal seven-day workload. It's not really a tax money that can be earned normally in one day. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded: "I really want to make three or four thousand taels a day, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the imperial history of the rumors will be able to scold me as if I had looted Linqing." Haha, Wu Sen, the Audit Office has done a good job. Come up with the last report as soon as possible, and I'll give you credit. ”
"Thank you, sir! Humble ...... We will definitely submit the report as soon as possible! Wu Sen was naturally very excited, but this time he was much calmer.
Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand, looked at Yan Wei, and said, "Okay, okay." It's time to go to Yan Wei's side. But you can save the debriefing. ”
Saying that, Zhu Cihong looked at Chang Zhilang and Wu Sen and said, "Just now Yan Wei has shown me the accounts collected today, and I have seen the general ledger here." More than three thousand seven hundred taels, there is no problem with the accounts. I have seen the hard work of the tax department this time. However, in the future, the affairs in the yamen of the tax department cannot simply be handled by each of them at will. I decided to merge the people in the functions of customs declaration and accounting into the city's tax office, and Yan Wei temporarily took charge of the tax office as the acting director. When the preparation of the sub-supervision of the tax department is complete, all the tellers and scribes in the tax department will be completed, and the training and assessment will be completed, and then the formal function will be decided. ”
Hearing that he had been promoted to the director of the department all of a sudden, and had become a figure on an equal footing with Zhu Cihong's lineage, Yan Wei only felt his head bang on the ground. trembling all over, he bowed to the ground solemnly: "Humble and orderly!" Humble ...... Humble ...... We will live up to our mission! ”
Zhu Cihong did not go over to help him up cordially this time, but nodded majestically: "Okay!" Since you have taken on this role, I will leave the rest to you. ”
After speaking, Zhu Cihong looked at Chang Zhilang and Wu Sen and said: "Before the establishment of the tax department, a training and assessment involving the entire tax department and yamen will be conducted. The training is to enter the sub-supervisor of the tax department of the Guozi Supervision in batches and in an orderly manner to study, and to train and study the tax regulations and tax rules set by me, so that everyone must keep the tax regulations and rules in mind! In this matter, I will take it as a test to test whether the sub-supervisor can do things! ”
Chang Zhilang solemnly received the order: "Yes, my lord!" ”
"If the assessment is excellent, focus on hiring. If the applicant passes the assessment, the employment will be maintained. If the assessment is unqualified, a job outside the yamen will be arranged before being dismissed. If the assessment is bad, check the details, and if there is a problem, punish it severely and then expel it! In this regard, the Audit Office has given me a firm check! You must know that my disciples will never have merit and demerit to say! Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Sen and Yan Wei.
Wu Sen and Yan Wei felt a chill in their hearts, and their waists suddenly straightened, and they were solemn: "Yes!" ”
When Chang Zhilang, Wu Sen, and Yan Wei heard this, they immediately felt the cold air in Zhu Cihong's words. It is self-evident that Zhu Cihong did this, this is to rectify a tax department yamen that is completely kneaded by himself.
After two beatings by Chu Lushan and Liu Pei, and a carrot that Zhu Cihong greatly improved his treatment for. The tax department has established a strong authority over Zhu Cihong.
But that's not enough!
