Chapter 2081 (2/2)

Wu Jingwei is very proud of it.

”Come, please invite deputy general Wu to the wing room and serve him with tea. I have to work!” Two yamen servants came in: ”general Wu, please!”

”You are so powerful, Lord song. I'll leave today and come back another day!” Wu Jingwei left with a melancholy sentence.

Then.

Song Yan combed the tax books and found many old taxes, and dozens of big tax payers, who owed more than 200000 Jin of grain and 30000 liang of tax money.

As for the tax grain owed by ordinary people, it is only tens of thousands Jin, and the tax money is also 56000 Liang.

In addition, the three counties have not paid all the official taxes for many years. They owe more than 400000 Jin of official grain and 60000 liang of official silver.

”Ah!”

Song Yan once again sighed that Su Bingwen was too stupid to be an official. It's no wonder that the Yamen was so broken. It's not that he didn't want to repair it, but that he couldn't get the money to repair it.

Therefore, song Yan called the officials to understand the situation of these dozens of large tax payers.

Only then did we know that these big tax payers are all squatters in Liangzhou, each of them has built fortresses, and there are private soldiers in them.With less than a hundred yamen servants, there's no way for those guys.

As for the officials who collect taxes, even if they can't enter the gate of the fortress, they also collect fart taxes.

In fact, Su Bingwen can ask Xu Xing for help, but the relationship between them is quite rigid. So, after so many years, they are allowed to evade taxes and evade taxes. The magistrate's Yamen can't help them.

Today's magistrate yamen can't make ends meet. If these taxes can't be collected, the whole yamen can't operate.

Therefore, the most important thing at present is to collect the taxes of those large households.

As long as big families are willing to pay taxes, those ordinary people have no reason not to pay them.

”Do you have any way to collect the taxes of these large households?”

Song Yan looked at the dozens of officials and asked.

As soon as his voice fell, the officials began to pour out their bitterness.

Some said they couldn't get into the door at all;

some said they were beaten back halfway;

others said that the other side not only didn't open the door, but also shouted insults at them.

When they had finished, song Yancai continued: ”we all know what's going on in the Yamen. If this tax can't be collected, I'm afraid that everyone's salaries will not be distributed. Seeing the coming of the new year, we can only drink from the West and the north. Therefore, I have a proposal here. Each of you can collect taxes from those big families, no matter who receives the tax grain, or You can take one percent of the tax money, so you can have a fat year. ”

Hearing this, all the officials were shocked in their hearts. Immediately, some people began to move their minds.

If they can receive ten thousand catties of grain, they will not have one hundred catties. If they can receive one thousand liang of silver, they will also receive ten Liang.

But soon, they put out the idea that the taxes of land tigers are so easy to collect.

Don't give them a percentage, even if they can't do a tenth, so they start to cry again.

Some people quarreled with song Yanfa about his salary, claiming that his family could not open the pot.

Seeing the behavior of these officials, song Yan felt disappointed. He really had no useful talent.
