Daming heir

No one would think that the three girls Song Liuhong would actually do anything if they became officials.

From the beginning, people believed that this was just another test of the Hongwu New Deal for the government and the opposition.

Just like in the past, craftsmen such as Zhang Ergong were allowed to become officials, and then they started to take the metric system.

This time, when three women are appointed as officials, what people are really waiting for is what new policy measures the court will introduce next.

Of course, except for Song Liuhong and the other three families, as well as the instigators behind them, they were still in a state of confusion because Song Liuhong and the other three became court officials and the plan failed.

As for Song Liuhong's three daughters, it has gradually spread to the ears of most people.

No one thought that girls like Song Liuhong, Luo Shuyun, and Qi Yongdi, who came from a family of poets and writers, could actually drop everything and do things in such a public manner under everyone's nose.

Especially for the Xicheng project, Song Liuhong is in charge of the garment city.

It only took two days to win the love of everyone involved in the garment city project.

As long as you see a beautiful little girl who should be in the boudoir, she can personally carry a hoe, dig soil and plant trees on the project.

Neng's mouth is like honey, the eldest brother is older and the younger brother is younger. He shuttled around the construction site carrying tea without any scruples, delivering warm tea to everyone.

Then, no one would be willing to listen to Song Liuhong's arrangements.

Just one day.

Song Liuhong magically became the person with the most say in the garment city project.

then.

Zhu Yunxi once again became the most leisurely person in Yingtian City.

"I've left everything to the people below, so I have some free time. What about you two? Why are you running around all day with nothing to do?"

Zhu Yunxi is currently in the pavilion at the top of the scenic spot in the Xicheng project, busy making tea around the stove.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, who were named, looked at each other.

Zhu Shangbing moved quietly and took a handful of roasted peanuts from the stove.

He was extra polite and gave Zhu Gaochi half of it.

Zhu Yunxi had already prepared everything at this time. He was sitting aside with a teacup filled with red dates and looking at the bustling Xicheng project site at the foot of the Scenic Mountain.

Zhu Shangbing chuckled: "Recently, the Governor's Office has been mobilizing the Beijing army, saying that it is preparing for the New Year's drill after the new year. Our superiors and military guards know this, so naturally we cannot lag behind the Governor's Office, and we are also preparing for the New Year. A matter of practice.”

"So, what does this have to do with you?"

Zhu Yunxi felt that these two people just didn't want to work, so they skipped work and went out for walks all day long.

Zhu Shangbing laughed, then poured himself a cup of tea, and poured another cup for Zhu Gaochi beside him.

He squinted his eyes happily and took a sip of tea.

Then he said cheerfully: "It's just because it has nothing to do with me, so I'm free now..."

Ziliu Ziliu.

As he spoke, Zhu Shangbing drank tea and made a sound in his mouth.

Zhu Yunxi was a little helpless and looked sideways at Zhu Gaochi.

The New Year is only a few days old now, and the tax office is the busiest thing.

Throughout this year, all tax collection work in the Ming Dynasty must be prepared before spring farming.

Then the tax office will send the plan to the various tax departments. After these things are implemented, it will be time to collect summer taxes.

Zhu Gaochi, however, was holding a steaming cup of tea and looking at the garment city, food city, and amusement park area down the mountain.

"Let me tell you first, I'm not just hanging out."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips: "Then why did you come to me?"

Zhu Gaochi glanced sideways at Zhu Yunxi and gave an explanation that he couldn't refute: "Don't you still pay taxes for your Xicheng project? I'm inspecting it in advance to be prepared and fully prepared."

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and was speechless.

What Xiaopang said was that there was nothing wrong with it.

The Xicheng project was originally intended to stimulate Yingtianfu’s economy.

It is also to experiment with how much tax revenue generated by commercial operations can have on a region’s economy and tax revenue.

Zhu Gaochi chuckled and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "I'd like to remind you in advance that the accounts for the Xicheng project should be prepared before completion. Don't let the tax office come to check the accounts and you won't be able to produce the accounts."

Zhu Shangbing was holding back his laughter.

Zhu Yunxi could only roll his eyes.

In a short time, Xiaopang's tax office turned out to be his superior.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

When the Xicheng project was established, the tax bureau was the accounting supervision department.

The money was allocated by the Da Ming Bank and the Account Department, and the operations were handed over to the Da Ming Firm. Therefore, the supervision of accounting issues can only be left to the tax office.

If it were in the past, the most likely possibility would be to have the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervise it.

But since the tax bureau has been established.

Most of the people ranked highly in arithmetic in the Ming Dynasty entered the tax bureau.

Even the Ministry of Accounts, sometimes when it is busy, has to second some staff from the tax bureau to help sort out national financial data.

Zhu Yunxi chose not to speak when faced with the "superior audit".

Zhu Gaochi continued: "There is also the business value-added tax that was proposed at the beginning, and Xicheng was also the first place in the world to trial it.

At that time, the accounts will be handed over to Daming Company for statistics, and our tax bureau will audit and review them. A sum of money cannot be less, even a penny.

You have to make it clear to those in charge in advance. Don’t let the three parties fail to reconcile the accounts by then. Our tax office will take someone. "

Zhu Yunxi remained silent.

The business value-added tax issue was actually something he only thought of after the Xicheng project started.

The Xicheng project is the best trial site.

The current tax types and structures of the Ming Dynasty are actually very primitive and rough.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

Before informatization, taxes could only be levied from the root of the product.

The Xicheng project is different.

Because it is government-run and its operations are centralized.

From the beginning when the Xicheng project was determined, Zhu Yunxi led several parties to confirm it. From then on, the accounts for the Xicheng project were concentrated in Daming Company.

All shops in Xicheng do not collect profits directly, but settle with equivalent banknotes issued by banks.

When people enter the Xicheng project, they first exchange banknotes at the entrance, then purchase and pay for the banknotes. Finally, each shop and stall hands over the banknotes to the merchant, and the two parties can check and compare to determine whether the amount is correct.

Finally, the banknotes are returned to the banker and exchanged for equal amounts of gold, silver, and copper coins.

At first, no matter it was a business or a bank, they felt that there was no difference between the banknotes and treasure banknotes.

In fact, in Zhu Yunxi's plan, there was no difference.

However, the banknotes used in the Xicheng Project can only be used within the Xicheng Project.

The complete cancellation of Baobao will take time.

It was also impossible for the imperial court to always use heavier gold, silver, and copper coins as its fixed currency.

Paper money is a necessity.

In this way, it will be more convenient for the people to do business with merchants all over the world.

The use of banknotes in the Xicheng project is just an attempt.

Once one day, people exchange banknotes in Xicheng, take them outside and use them, then they can smoothly launch banknotes from the Ming Dynasty Bank.

In this way, the value of banknotes can be maintained and banknotes will not plummet.

The Xicheng project uses banknotes, which are issued by banks and operated by merchants, which ensures that all accounts are clear.

Therefore, the collection of business value-added tax is naturally supported by data and can be implemented.

The difficulty lies in how to divide the collection points and grading of business tax.

If it's too high, it's meaningless.

If it is too low, the merchants in the Xicheng project will be unprofitable.

What is both necessary and necessary cannot be done politically.

On the Scenic Mountain, after the three brothers exchanged words, they quietly discussed the future plans and plans for the Xicheng project.

Standing on the mountain, looking at the construction site below. Those workers are like worker ants in an ant nest, busy and busy.

……

And outside the Xicheng project.

In a house on the north side of Sanshan Street in Yingtian City, the head of Shangyuan County's arrest squad was walking in from the outside with two detectives.

Ma Bantou's face was gloomy.

After entering the house, he looked around.

The smell of blood filled the entire house.

Outside the house, the sound of vomiting could be heard from time to time by the two police officers who first received the report.

house.

A gently swaying corpse was hanging on the beam.

It is that nanny from the Song family in Wuxi!

On the ground, there were two more corpses, those of the Luo family and the Qi family.

Except for the Song family nun who was hanging from the beam, she seemed to have committed suicide by hanging from the beam.

The nuns of the Luo family and Qi family on the ground were lying on their sides with knives stuck in their lower abdomens.

Blood continued to flow from the wound, flowing all over the floor.

A murder occurred in Yingtian City!

The dead were still three well-known local nuns.

And these three people have a close relationship with the three female officials currently in power.

After asking about the situation at the scene, the head of the arrest team in Shangyuan County felt heavy in his heart.

"Who reported the case?"

Ma Bantou asked in a deep voice, looking away from the three corpses inside the house to outside.

A police officer immediately said: "It was the Song family's maid who ran to the street and stopped our people to report the crime."

"What did the reporter say?" Ma Bantou asked again.

The policeman replied: "The maid said that the mothers of the three families gathered together today to discuss matters assigned by the family. Therefore, it is inconvenient for others to be present, and the maids are preparing meals behind the house.

At that time, there seemed to be some quarrels in the room, and then there was no more quarrel after a while.

When they finished cooking and came to call for help, they didn't listen and had no choice but to open the door.

What I saw then was this. "

Ma Bantou frowned more and more.

Could it be that an argument led to a fight, and then they beat each other to death?

But why was the nun from the Song family hanging on the beam, while the nuns from the other two families were stabbed in the abdomen and fell to the ground?

"Could it be that this nanny of the Song family killed the other two people, and then hanged herself from the beam because of the frightened consequences?"

The policeman speculated in a low voice.

However, Ma Bantou frowned and looked coldly at the police officer following him.

They are all from the public sect, and they are all from the Yamen arrest squad, and they are all his subordinates.

Ma Bantou naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words.

This is to settle this case quickly.

The result was a fight, accidental death, and then committing suicide out of fear of guilt.

Ma Bantou looked around the room again.

"There are no signs of fighting, and there are no secret passages in the secret room. If a fight broke out due to an argument, and then died accidentally, and finally committed suicide out of fear of guilt, it would be reasonable..."

Before Ma Bantou finished speaking, his eyes suddenly flashed and his brows furrowed tightly.

He walked to the window in the back corner of the house with some uncertainty.

Ma Bantou stretched out his hand and pressed it gently on the window with a little force.

The window was pushed open by him.

Then, Ma Bantou slid his fingers across the window sill.

Look at the fingers again.

It was already stained with a layer of black dirt.

"Horse head?"

"Ma Tou, do you want to close the case like this and report it to the pian?"

The detective asked quietly from behind.

But Ma Bantou had a gloomy face and looked at the gable outside the window: "I'm afraid... this is a homicide!"

"Kill him!"

The catcher raised his eyebrows and was shocked.

If this is a homicide.

Then they will be very busy if they arrest the class.

If the case cannot be closed, there will be punitive measures from above.

For example, the current Yingtian City street management expenses will have nothing to do with them at the end of the year.

A window that can be pushed open easily will not have too much dust on the windowsill.

Even if no one lived in this house before, and the three families later lived here, they would inevitably clean the window sills when opening the windows.

They are all local people who come from well-known families, and they will still follow these rules and things.

Since there is a thick layer of dust on this window sill, it means that the three families in this room have not used it since they came here, so there is dust accumulation.

The window must also be closed.

But now the window opens as soon as it is pushed, which means someone opened the window.

If the window was opened by the dead three, then it should have been open when they came.

There is only one possibility now.

"The murderer fled the scene from here!"

Ma Bantou looked at the high gables outside the window with a gloomy tone.

The detective's eyes twitched and he followed the line leader's gaze.

The other detective immediately rushed out of the house with the saber on his waist, and went around to the back of the house, under the gable outside the window.

Not long after.

The detective found a long and slender bamboo pole in the corner.

"Horse head, there's a pole!"

Ma Bantou's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Look at both ends."

The detective didn't know why he wanted to look, but he did it anyway.

Soon, another voice came.

"Boss! This end of the pole is full of mud!"

Ma Bantou immediately snorted coldly.

Now, it's clear.

The three people in the house were killed by others, and then the killer jumped out of the window and escaped by climbing over the gable with the help of a bamboo pole.

The policeman standing next to Ma Bantou whispered: "Look in the direction, beyond the gable wall is Sanshan Street, and past it is the territory of Jiangning County."

Ma Bantou's eyes were solemn.

The killer was smart.

The case was committed in Shangyuan County, and then he fled to Jiangning County.

Thinking about it, by this time, it is very likely that he had already escaped from Yingtian City from Jubao Gate.

Ma Bantou turned around, glanced at the three corpses at the scene, and walked out of the house.

"Send the news back to the Yamen and inform the Jiangning County arrest team."

"In my opinion, the Yamen will probably report this matter to the Magistrate's Yamen."

The detective was a little nervous: "Boss... nothing big will happen."

Ma Bantou snorted: "A big deal? It's already a big deal now!"
