Professional things are left to professionals. There is a very awesome organization in the United States called the "International Revenue Service of America". The awesome and domineering organization are definitely role models, and Zhu Yijun should learn from it.

The big brother of Chicago gangster in the United States is known as the best brother in American history. His illegal income reached hundreds of millions of yuan a year, which was a lot in that era.

And he was very slippery, and the police couldn't catch him at all. In the end, he fell into the hands of the IRS.

At that time, the IRS discovered that Al Capone had never filled out a tax return and never paid taxes. I was in the underworld, so why should I pay taxes? But the IRS felt that the king of heaven had to pay taxes too. So the IRS specially sent an undercover agent to be an accountant for Al Capone.

After checking, it was found that there was a casino with hundreds of thousands of income and no tax filings. This was nothing in Brother Al's gangland empire, but the IRS arrested him.

In the end, Al was not convicted of the underworld crime, but tax evasion was enough. He was sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment and fined 50,000 yuan. From then on, he lost contact with the outside world. After he was released from prison, he had to fish because he suffered from incurable syphilis in prison and had to fish, so his career as a gangster brother was declared over.

It can be seen that the IRS is even better than the FBI. It has special tax collection armed forces and has much more authority than the FBI. It is suspicious of conviction. Once it is suspicious, it will freeze all your assets first. Next, you will prove yourself that you have not evaded taxes.

Therefore, there is an American proverb: "In this world, only death and tax payment are eternal."

What Zhu Yijun wants is such a tax organization. They even collect taxes from drug dealers. The harsh tax evasion punishment is definitely a nightmare for tax evasioners. This kind of thing must be left to professionals. If you ask officials to collect their own taxes, they will disappear as they collect them.

The key is that there is a very easy to operate here, that is, the rice balls of the fields, etc. The tax burden of the fields of the fields of the fields is different, and it is very different. For some gentry, it seems that it is not difficult to change the nature of the land.

Not to mention in this era, even in later generations, there were a lot of commercial land and industrial land.

Besides, the examination was successful. The supervision system of the Ming officials was full of loopholes. The censors of the Kedao were all focused on big cases, cases that could make reputation, and news. They could not be convicted for words. To put it bluntly, they could talk nonsense.

The implementation of the test method may be possible when Zhang Juzheng was in progress. When Zhang Juzheng was gone, it would probably collapse.

Reforms relying on civil servants are ultimately not possible. After all, they are the greatest vested interests. Without sufficient checks and balances and a new class, reforms cannot last forever. However, such reforms are positive in front of us and are very supportive by Zhu Yijun.

For example, if you clear the land this time, check how much land is in the country and make a booklet, otherwise you will not have to collect taxes in the future.

Zhu Yijun not only had to investigate the land of officials, but also the land of royal family and nobles. Not to mention whether to collect taxes or not, the key is to figure out how much land they have. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you know it. It is impossible to have a blind eye.

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon throne and was thinking randomly. The noise was already in a mess below. Both sides had different opinions and had a strong argument.

Zhang Juzheng still narrowed his eyes slightly, standing there with a calm expression, unable to see anything on his face, as if the quarrel had nothing to do with him. However, Zhu Yijun knew that Zhang Juzheng was holding his ultimate move.

"I have a memorial!"

Sure enough, Zhang Juzheng stood up before he could wait and said with a bow.

A needle was immediately heard in the hall, and no one was arguing. Everyone was quietly looking at Zhang Juzheng, waiting to see what he said. In the past five years, Zhang Juzheng has been in charge of personnel and has a very majestic attitude.

With the test method in hand, Zhang Juzheng dismissed many officials. Zhang Juzheng stipulated that less than 90% of local officials would be punished.

In December last year, according to the report from the Ministry of Household Affairs, local officials were demoted, including 17 in Shandong, two in Henan, and two in Shandong and nine in Henan. This made officials at all levels afraid of being demoted and supervised the household owners to pay the taxes and grains that year.

As the situation of tax arrears has changed, the national treasury has become increasingly abundant. According to statistics from the Ministry of Revenue last year, the annual income reached more than 4.35 million taels, which is more than 2.5 million taels per year in Longqing (including the silver entries for redemption, including the money, salt, and other items of stolen redemption cases), an increase of 74%.

The fiscal revenue and expenditure were offset, and the remaining balance was more than 850,000 taels, which reversed the long-term fiscal deficit.

However, Zhu Yijun also knew that taxes were collected, but whoever was collected, how many people were killed during the tax collection process, and how many families were destroyed. If there was no fundamental change, the more taxes were collected, the faster the Ming Dynasty died.

Despite this, Zhang Juzheng's prestige was established in this process. After all, Zhang Juzheng's words are no different from imperial edicts. If you want imperial edicts, then I will write you one thing, this is Zhang Juzheng's power.

"I think the court has a shortage of expenses and taxes are not raised, so I changed the price because the rich people have land but don't pay them, and the poor people lose money to become burdens, and the people are poor and flee, so the price is suddenly reduced." This is the root of "the country is scarce and the people are poor." Zhang Juzheng's voice was not loud, but his words were deafening.

There is no fool standing in the hall. What does Zhang Juzheng mean? Who can’t hear it? This is to clear the account and the land!

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and suddenly thought of someone in his mind, who was Hai Rui! When Zhang Juzheng practiced a one-whip method to clear the accounts and fields, Hai Rui believed that this was the worst strategy and could not truly solve the problem of uneven taxes among the people.

Regarding Hai Rui, there are all things he says, but Hai Rui has fairness and rigor.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, Hai Rui was activated. Hai Rui was already 72 years old at that time. He wrote a memorial saying that he was old and dying, and was willing to imitate the advice of the ancients. He listed the Criminal Law of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, peeling human skin and putting grass into skins, and the provisions of the law that the law was erratic to sentence hanged to 80 volcanoes.

It was said that such a method should be used to punish corruption, and other current affairs were planned, and the words were extremely practical. Only by persuading the emperor to use tyrannical criminal law, which was considered wrong at the time.

However, Zhu Yijun understood Hai Rui's thoughts. He saw the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he knew what the Ming Dynasty's officialdom had reached. He could not bear the exploitation and corruption of officials, and felt that only by using the harsh laws of Taizu's time could the decline of the officialdom could be reversed.

After all, although Zhang Juzheng was in power, he didn't care much about corruption.
