Chapter 3175: Exemption from all miscellaneous taxes is empty, fierce and stubborn, still rampant
At this time, Qingjiang County seemed calm and peaceful, but undercurrents were surging.
Zhao Yufan is busy practicing yamen runners every day in the county yamen.
The Huang family on the other side has become increasingly uneasy as time goes by.
After all, there was a group of people who were hostile to them in the county, and they had not known what the other party was doing for a long time, which made the Huang family gradually become alert.
After twelve days of peaceful life, new news came from the county government, and the new county magistrate started to take action again.
This time, he sent people again and posted a notice at the four gates of Qingjiang County.
When the guards of four groups posted the county magistrate's notice at the city gate, the people in the city immediately surrounded the three floors inside and three floors outside to watch.
The crowd was getting thicker and thicker, and a burst of exclamations came from inside from time to time... It was obvious that something big happened! Huang Daya, who happened to be back from the countryside, happened to see the notice at the city gate.
He crawled into the crowd and saw that his face changed color.
Then he separated the crowd and strode towards the Huang family in Hehuan Lane.
After he entered the Huang family yard and found Huang Daoxian, he hurriedly said, "Young Master! That boy named Zhao is probably crazy!"
Huang Daoxian frowned and comforted Huang Daya's emotions, and asked him to say it carefully.
Sure enough, Huang Daya said the contents of the notice in one mouthful, which scared him.
It turned out that the newly posted notice by the county magistrate today meant that according to the investigation by the new county magistrate Zhao, after announcing the abolition of the harsh and miscellaneous taxes the day before yesterday, all tax collectors in Qingjiang County still did their own thing and continued to collect miscellaneous taxes in the countryside.
The county magistrate repeatedly summoned all tax collectors, but no one went to the county government to report.
Therefore, in order to avoid the people inside and outside Qingjiang County continuing to suffer from heavy taxes, the adults ordered the following: From now on, all taxes in Qingjiang County will be exempted from all taxes and taxes.
In other words, from now on, the people don’t have to pay any taxes! The tax exemption period ends until this year’s Spring Festival, and then the tax amount will be determined according to national laws.
During this period, not only were all taxes exempted, but the county master also opened tax collectors who were refused to be present and were never hired.
All tax collectors lost all the functions of the tax collectors of the Song Dynasty from the date of the announcement.
From now on, anyone who collects taxes in the middle and rural areas of Qingjiang County, including anyone wearing tax collectors' clothes, will be punished with serious crimes of impersonating state officials and violating national laws.
When Huang Daoxian understood the content of the announcement, he also frowned deeply.
Now that the notice is posted, the impact has been spread to all parts of Qingjiang County.
Now the county magistrate’s decision can no longer be held in Qingjiang County.
There are a few things here that surprised Huang Daoxian. First, Huang Daya and the minions of the Huang family have officially lost their official status from now on.
Now even their subordinates who were attracted to collect taxes in the countryside have become illegal.
Secondly, the county master was obviously angry and embarrassed. He made such a decision, which was clearly the one who wanted to declare war on the Huang family in front of him! He didn't think about it. Now he even sent out the chefs to buy vegetables to escort... Can his orders be out of the county government?
The one that surprised Huang Daoxian the most was that this guy named Zhao dared to change the national laws without any reason! If you want to collect taxes, it is the lifeblood of the country! Not to mention that he is a small county magistrate, even if he wants to exempt taxes from a certain place, he has to report to the court for approval.
But he made such a decision without hesitation. If he pursued it, he would be light in his head! After Huang Daoxian got this shocking news, he immediately asked Huang Daya to wait in place. He hurried to meet his father to discuss countermeasures... But they didn't know that Zhao Yufan made such a decision, but in fact they knew it long ago.
Because when he met his teacher in Kuizhou, the head of state told him that the tax system would be completely restructured in the future.
The new imperial court should implement a system of diligence and acres within the Song Dynasty.
This means that you don’t have to collect taxes for your child next year anyway.
As for the tax-free large tax-free traders like the Huang family, the tax system must be re-established to let them pay the land tax honestly.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Yufan thought of the teacher’s advice to him before he set out: He must be decisive in doing things, and as long as it does not violate the interests of the people, he can let go.
At that time, Kuizhou Prefecture and even the entire court will become his backing! So Zhao Yufan announced without hesitation that the decision to exempt Qingjiang County from all taxes within this year was slashed hard in the heart of the Huang family.
Because of the tax collectors who were rampant in the countryside, they suddenly became ordinary people.
If they go to collect taxes, they will be investigated and punished on the charge of pretending to be an official... That is a serious crime of beheading!... After Huang Daoxian and the old master of the Huang family discussed, they quickly made a decision.
The first thing Mr. Huang asked Huang Daya to continue to be open-minded and go to the countryside to collect taxes.
Because if they recalled Huang Daya and others now, it would be equivalent to showing weakness to the county government... The prestige of the Huang family will inevitably be affected by that time.
Anyway, no matter what order is issued by Zhao County Magistrate in the county government, he is just talking to himself.
As soon as they left the county government office, they were still under the Huang family in the county town and even in the entire Qingjiang County and villages! So even if they sent Huang Daya to collect taxes against the wind under such circumstances, no one dared to report to the county government office, and those people would never dare to fight against the fierce and cruel Huang Daya.
In addition to this, Master Huang also ordered his son without hesitation to immediately send someone to spy on the situation in the county government.
Now that more than ten days have passed, they are completely ignorant of what happened in the county government, which is extremely unfavorable to them.
After Master Huang made such a decision, Huang Daoxian's uneasiness gradually subsided.
It was not until now that he remembered that one of the biggest advantages of his Huang family was that he was strong in Qingjiang County and no one dared to provoke him! So no matter what the new county magistrate Zhao Yufan said, no one would believe or follow him.
Because for all the people, the financial resources, thugs, and officials of the Huang family are so huge that the county magistrate who is alone and alone cannot shake it! When Huang Daoxian thought of this, he immediately turned around and went to Huang Daoya to ignore the notices, but instead continued to go to the countryside to collect taxes with great power! After Huang Daoya left happily, Huang Daoxian passed the people he usually won over in his heart and determined several candidates.
Chapter completed!
