A group of tax bureau officials changed slightly, and they surrounded Zhao Sanjing with an ugly expression.

After Liu Guangyao finished placing, he looked at Zhao Sanjing with a little panic and said, "Liuliang, it will be fine to sentence you to half a year for such a bribery."

Zhao Sanjing was already panicked, and his hands were waving repeatedly, and a servant slipped away from a distance.

Liu Guangyao seemed not to see it, looked around again, and said in a plain tone, "You should not have registered with the Bureau of Commerce, nor have you paid taxes. This is not just tax evasion, but illegal operation. I can block your factory now and catch you back."

Zhao Sanjing looked stiff, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sir, this is a small business. I don't know which god you offended. Please give me a clear way, and I will thank you very much."

Liu Guangyao's expression was slightly cold. Zhao Sanjing was really ignorant of being polite, so he was just a little old-fashioned!

Liu Guangyao took out a piece of paper and stuffed it over and said, "This is a rectification order. All procedures must be completed within three days. If you cannot complete it within three days, the factory will be closed, people will be arrested, and all assets will be confiscated."

Zhao Sanjing felt relieved after hearing that there were still three days left, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir."

Liu Guangyao looked cold and said, "Take all the information, the master himself goes there, land deeds, workers, salary, books, information about transactions, etc., and be prepared to fine the silver."

Zhao Sanjing listened to the previous words "Punishment of Silver" and said, "Sir, how much is the fine of Silver?"

Liu Guangyao looked up at their factory, occupied the land, and said, "It depends on your scale, output, sales, and profitability, plus a punitive fine, prepare one thousand taels."

Zhao Sanjing widened his eyes and said in a lost voice: "One thousand taels!?"

Liu Guangyao had already turned around and left, saying, "This is estimated. If you have one day later, you will get one more penalties. Go early. Let's go, next house."

Zhao Sanjing looked at Liu Guangyao's back, frowned, and suddenly ran behind him.

At this time, a young man hurried in from the back door, caught him and asked, "How is it, what's going on?"

Zhao Sanjing was also anxious and said, "San Young Master, they said we have not registered and evaded taxes. We asked us to register and pay taxes, and there was another fine of 1,000 taels of silver."

Zhao Sanjing thought the third young master would be furious, but the third young master just frowned and nodded, with a serious look on his face.

Zhao Sanjing felt aroused and said, "San Young Master, other places?"

The third young master looked up at him, without hiding it, and said, "I just came from the plough workshop. The Bureau of Commerce came to him because we had no record and were suspected of illegal operation. The workshop had been blocked and a fine of 300 taels was issued on the spot."

Zhao Sanjing's eyes widened. Although the number of 300 taels is not big, the key is that they are investing a lot now. The court has not yet acquired it, and in fact they have been losing money and waiting for time.

This was one thousand three hundred taels at once, and it was not a small number no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Sanjing knew it was troublesome. The government took serious action this time. The Bureau of Commerce, Taxation, Law Enforcement, Price Bureau and others all acted, and it was clearly to kill them!

Their master's family has a great career, so there will definitely be no less "finished silver". Who can be willing to go out for so much for nothing?

Zhao Sanjing thought for a while and said, "San Young Master, do you know about it?"

The third young master sat on the chair, frowned, and said, "I understand, my elder brother is in the prefect's office, but the prefect's office said that he could not manage these departments, which is what the above means."

The Bureau of Commerce, Price Bureau, Law Enforcement Bureau, and Taxation Bureau are basically all in the court, and the local governments have dual management. In addition, the current needs of the "new policy", local governments dare not interfere, so in fact, the court is in charge of the vertical.

Zhao Sanjing listened, his mind flicked, and said, "Can you go through the relationship above? Not to mention the fine of silver, the annual tax is nearly 20%, which is not a small number. Let's talk about it. The other adults will definitely be unhappy."

In the past, there was no commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty, or a symbolic one, but the current policy is to have a one-size-fits-all profit of 19% of the profits obtained.

This is a lot of money. Who doesn’t feel sorry for it? Who is willing to give it to it?

The third young master naturally didn't want to give it out. He frowned even more as he listened to Zhao Sanjing's words and said, "The wind is too tight now, and the court is suppressing it very much. No one dares to speak on these new yamen. If you are not good, just fall in. Let's deal with it first and see the direction of the wind."

Zhao Sanjing could only nod. Now that the court has changed drastically, various reform slogans are shouting, no matter whether they are officials or wealthy people, they dare not be troubled, and can only lament that the world has really changed.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Sanjing calmed down and said in a stern manner: "Then, what should we do with our business? Will we continue to expand? The capital city requires us to build at least ten factories."

The third young master felt even more headache when he heard this. He took a sip of tea and said nothing.

The saying in the capital city is to ensure that you can make a lot of money, and that the fertilizer factory can make money slowly in the future, which is not a one-time job.

Logically speaking, this is a good deal, but the court has not started purchasing yet. Not only do they have to invest a lot of money to buy land, build factories, labor, and materials, but now they have to pay taxes. The money is all about every day, so why dare to continue to expand?

Zhao Sanjing knew the risks, hesitated and walked forward, whispering: "San Young Master, is the capital reliable? We can't be someone else's ladder."

The third young master looked up at him with a hesitant look. In fact, he didn't know. He only knew that some big figures in the capital were messing with him. They didn't know who they were and how confident they were.

Zhao Sanjing said nothing more and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to various yamen to get things done. The third young master still has to find a way to handle it. If you can get less, you should get less."

The third young master stood up and said, "Well, I'll go and inquire about the news first and find a way."

As they said that, the two of them acted separately.

This kind of thing happened almost throughout the Ming Dynasty. The top-down pressure from the cabinet has penetrated into every corner of the Ming Dynasty through departments that can be controlled.

If there is pressure, there will naturally be a rebound. The existing and unrestrained pressure will come from bottom to top and go up against the current to the court.

Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, received a number of memorials or private messages from local officials at all levels, and his words were all "concerns" about the recent actions of the State Administration of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Criminal Prison Department, the Price Bureau, etc.

They believed that the actions of these yamen were arrogant and uncontrollable, and they ignored the decency of the court, "wandering plunder merchants, almost extorting", "coercion and inducement, where can they exist?", "Officials at all levels are rebellious, ignore the laws of the king, disrespect the superiors, and pursue the bad scent of money, where will the people be?'...

He Jingqiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came in and said with a smile: "Sir, it seems that the movements on the cabinet have worked."

Zhang Bingwen put the private messages aside, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Li is busy, so we can't stop. How is the measurement team accurate?"

Most of the "official fields" controlled by the Ming Dynasty were in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue. Even if it was acquired by the Royal Trading Group, it was nominally transferred to the Qingtian Special Group, but most of the functions still had to be undertaken by the Ministry of Revenue.
