Chapter 213 Production Means
I still remember how exciting it was after the lawsuit ended, and countless people burst into tears.
Zhang Fei has become a hero in the hearts of the people.
However, it's only been a few days.
This matter immediately came to a big turning point, the excitement turned into complaints, and the tears in the eyes also turned into wailing.
It's that dramatic.
It can be seen how difficult this reform is. You must know that this is only a preliminary work, and it is only limited to the capital, and it turned out to be a moth.
If you go one step further, it is really unimaginable!
And this time, Zhang Fei couldn't stay out of it either. If they were going to use this matter to reverse Wang Hong's case, if they succeeded, he might be sent to Qiongzhou for surfing.
Xu Zun also believes that this may be the other party's revenge.
There are already signs of this.
Many officials in the court began to use this as an excuse to excuse Wang Hong. When Wang Hong was there, nothing happened, and the work of collecting taxes was very smooth.
It can be seen that Wang Hong's approach is reasonable.
Your emperor loves to toss.
look.
Something went wrong.
Then Wang Anshi spoke clearly and conscientiously, worrying about the country and the people, but what happened?
Talk on paper.
whimsical.
Returning the people without paying taxes and using the state to spare?
This is simply a big joke.
Even before the tax has been added, the common people are already complaining, and it is necessary to increase the tax.
This slogan of Wang Anshi was crazily ridiculed by many ministers.
The Department of Regulations of the Second Government was established.
"Teacher, look, here are some leases I sent someone to find."
Lu Huiqing took out several leases and handed them to Wang Anshi, "According to my investigation, in fact, most of the leases of Bai Qi are divided into the rent, and the landlord and the tenant each get half.
The other part is all borne by the tenant farmers, that is to say, the tenant farmers also pay taxes, but the taxes are all collected by the landlords.As for the situation mentioned by Lin Dan, it is not uncommon for the landlord to give all unpaid taxes to the benefit of the tenant farmers, but it is very small. "
"It doesn't make sense."
Wang Anshi slammed several contracts on the table.
Lu Huiqing said again: "Teacher, you really shouldn't let go of the Xia tax issue at that time, this kind of thing cannot be backed down."
Wang Anshi glanced at him and sighed: "To tell you the truth, I also regretted it very much afterwards, but at that time Wen Yanbo repeatedly emphasized that the court was not prepared enough, which is also true, so I thought about taking a step back. It's too late to take it."
Lu Huiqing said: "But now they are making a big fuss by taking what their mentor said, which has aroused more public grievances. If they make trouble, the court will choose to give in. Can they not continue to make trouble? Besides, this is not a big deal. Most of them are just some people obstructing it and deliberately bluffing, I think the court simply ignores it, and those tenant farmers should complain about the high rent, not the court's taxes."
This fellow is more ruthless than Wang Anshi.
Those who achieve great things should not stick to small details.
Wang Anshi nodded: "This is my mistake. I will report to the officials later. I still have to follow the plan and cannot exempt the summer tax."
He also didn't want to increase the burden on those tenant farmers, but when things got to this point, he couldn't back down, he had to be strong, otherwise, it would be all over.
In fact, this has been the case throughout the ages.
Reformers, in the initial stage, are very strong, and this has nothing to do with good or evil, it is purely a political act.
You can't do this!
As he said that, Wang Anshi picked up those contracts again, looked at them for a while, and said, "Go and ask Zhang San."
Lu Huiqing was taken aback, "Looking for Zhang San? I'm afraid Zhang San can't help you with this matter."
Wang Anshi said thoughtfully: "Since the problem lies in the lease contract, let's see if Zhang San can file a lawsuit for those tenant farmers and seek justice."
Lu Huiqing's eyes lit up.
Yes!
If the contract can be proved invalid through litigation, then the problem will be solved.
"Yes! I'm going to find Zhang San now."
Lu Huiqing immediately rushed to the Bianjing Law Firm, but in the end he was in vain. Fan Li told him that Zhang Fei never came to the Bianjing Law Firm today.
Lu Huiqing rushed to Zhang's house again.
It turns out that Zhang Fei went out early in the morning and hasn't returned yet.
When the other party involved this matter with Wang Hong's case, it was tantamount to forcing Zhang Fei into a united front with Wang Anshi.
Zhang Fei is not a person who likes to be passive, no matter in bed or in court.
He rushed to Baima Township with Xu Zhiqian early this morning, seeking Geng Ming's help.
And in this matter, Geng Ming and them are also grasshoppers on the same rope.
If Wang Hong comes back, Geng Ming must be dead.
In fact, everyone knew that Geng Ming was Zhang Fei's chess piece against Wang Hong, and that case was definitely not a coincidence.
Geng Ming, who had just been reunited with his wife and children, was also very nervous when he learned of this, and immediately helped Zhang Fei find two tenant farmers' contracts.
"There are many types of lease contracts for white deed cultivated land, but these two are the main ones. If the tenants have a good relationship with the landlord, they will state in the land deed that the landlord will collect taxes from the tenants every year. Corresponding money and food.
Second, if the landlord and the tenant are not very familiar, they can use the method of large and small deeds to sign another contract in private, stating that if the imperial court wants to levy taxes on this field, the tenant will bear it. "
"It seems that in terms of tax evasion, no matter what era, people's wisdom can be pushed to the limit!"
Zhang Fei nodded with a wry smile.
The big and small deeds are yin and yang contracts. After all, it is tax evasion, and the lease should not be written too clearly. The two parties will sign another one in private. If the imperial court wants to tax the land, it will be stated who should bear it.
The division of responsibilities is very clear.
But if the two parties are familiar with each other, there will be a code word in the contract, and the tenant will pay a few percent of the tax amount to the landlord according to the tax notes presented by the landlord.
There are tax bills only after paying taxes, and when the landlord cannot produce the tax bills, the tenant farmers naturally do not have to bear this part of the tax.
But there is also a risk in this, that is, the landlord forges the tax bills, or obtains the real tax bills through other means, and the tenant farmers have to bear the losses. The trust between the two parties is not enough, and generally they will not sign this kind of contract.
Xu Zhiqian hurriedly asked: "Zhang San, can this lawsuit be filed?"
Their first thought was to see if they could help the tenant farmers to exempt from this part of the tax by going to court.
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked Geng Ming, "Why didn't the two tenant farmers come to consult in person?"
Geng Ming said embarrassingly: "They are afraid of offending the landlord."
As he spoke, he added: "Unless benefactor can guarantee them no worries."
Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Xu Zhiqian, and sighed helplessly: "That's where the problem lies."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Can't you guarantee that they don't have any worries?"
"If it's just two tenants, it's a trivial matter, but the problem is not about two tenants."
Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed: "Even if I help them exempt from paying this part of the tax, I can't control whether the landlord will take back the land. Now that the land is small and there are many people, the landlord is not worried about not being able to rent out the land, but the tenant farmers are afraid of losing their land." eat."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Then what should I do?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "We can only rely on Grand Master Wang."
This is not a question of right and wrong, but a question of the means of production. The means of production are in the hands of the landlord. Do those tenant farmers dare to sue the landlord?
Sue won.
Yes.
There is no need to pay taxes.
But the job is gone!
Die worse.
In fact, the means of production have always been the root of the contradiction.
Litigation is difficult to solve the problem of means of production.
This can only rely on the court.
After discussing to no avail, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian left the small courtyard of Geng's family, bid farewell to Geng Ming, and left in a carriage.
Seeing that Xu Zhiqian was depressed, Zhang Fei said: "Don't be disappointed, there should be a lot of room for maneuver in this matter, after all, Grand Master Wang will not let their tricks succeed."
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly.
Suddenly someone on the side of the road said: "Mr. Qin, please allow me a little more time. My son has just been born and is not yet full moon, and my wife has no milk to feed. I can only hire a nanny. If the money is paid tax , my son may starve to death!"
"Pause."
After Xu Zhiqian heard this, she gave Long Wu an order, then lifted the curtain of the car, and looked outside, only to see a young guy begging a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The middle-aged man sighed: "It's useless for you to beg me here. It's not our boss who wants your money. It's all collected by the court. We can't do anything about it. We don't ask for any more money. The tax amount is not enough." It was decided by the imperial court, and there is still some time before tax payment, so you should hurry up and think of a way."
The young man cried and said: "But it's just a few days, where can I get the money, and the autumn grain has not been harvested yet."
The middle-aged man said: "You can borrow some if you see it."
After hearing that, the young man choked up and remained silent.
He knew what it meant to borrow usury.
But if you don't borrow it.!
When the middle-aged man saw it, he stopped talking and said, "I have to go to another house, so I will take my leave first."
As soon as he left, he heard the sound of a baby crying from inside the house.
The young man seemed to have not heard it, and stood in front of the door blankly, looking helpless.
Xu Zhiqian frowned slightly, and suddenly called out: "Qingmei."
"Sister Qian'er, what's the matter?"
"How much did we bring out?"
"It seems to have thirty or forty dollars."
"Ms. Xu, do you want money? I still have a hundred dollars here." Li Si said hurriedly.
Xu Zhiqian said: "You guys take all the money to that little brother."
"Hey!"
After Li Si took the money and got off the carriage.
Xu Zhiqian ordered Long Wu again, "Let's go first."
The carriage drove forward slowly.
Zhang Fei comforted him and said, "This is just an example. According to the two tenant contracts, even if you pay taxes, you won't be unable to survive."
But Xu Zhiqian shook her head and said: "This is by no means an exception, no one has any difficulties, most of the tenant farmers, every penny is counted."
As she said that, she glanced at Zhang Fei again and saw that he was looking at her worriedly, so she said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've seen this kind of thing too many times, and I can help anyone."
The reason why their father and daughter support Wang Anshi's reform is because they have too much helplessness and can only hope for the imperial court's reform.
Zhang Fei nodded.
