Chapter 529 First Collision

"Tax collection. Tax collection? Tax collection! He was shouting tax collection from the beginning to the end. I wish I could punch him in the face. I'm really mad!"

The newly transferred administrative secretary was full of mist, and kept complaining in front of Zheng Li.

As her former boss, Zheng Li could only smile. He was not emotional. When a person has already thought of the scrolls of the eighteenth floor of hell, how could it be possible to scare him just by entering the first floor of purgatory.

"Actually, the deputy chief didn't say anything. That's why he came here. That's what the Finance and Logistics Department does."

The meeting has just come to an end. Due to some reasons, the pace of the meeting is quite fast (the fight is about to start). After a candid (and intense) exchange of opinions and a written report, the participants agreed to adjourn the meeting until the afternoon (then continue to quarrel) ).

This is the coffee shop on the third floor of Siming Hotel. This hotel is one of the few hotels with good hardware conditions in this area, and it became the place where the temporary team met for the first time.

Now is the adjournment time, and the participants naturally formed a small group, communicating internally or rushing to report.

Sitting opposite Zheng Li, Secretary Wu, who didn't have much experience in co-working, was still very angry. She didn't have anyone to report to. The request from the Bailu District Secretariat was to cooperate with Zheng Li, which was regarded as the support from her hometown.

But for the current situation, Zheng Li felt that it was good, and the solution to the problem was to be able to talk openly, at least it was better than all parties playing bureaucrats together.

"...The first one to come, is it really the Finance and Logistics Department?"

Slightly different from expectations, this incident has received more attention than Zheng Li expected. Not only the district governments have dispatched personnel, but also transferred special cadres to enrich the new team, and most of the twelve ministries and commissions have sent ginseng Yes. They may not be permanent, but in this early stage, they cannot be avoided.

"It's really maddening. That Lieutenant Chief is full of money from the beginning to the end. If you want money so much, what are you doing here? Who doesn't know that there are only poor people here."

The personnel sent by the twelve ministries and commissions are not of high rank. Deputy Chief Li Huiping is in his 30s, probably a young cadre at the official level, but he is also a backbone faction capable of practical work.

His speech was very simple and straightforward, that is, to quickly establish a tax system and incorporate this place into the tax and financial system of the entire Shiqian City.

But no one is stupid these days, and everyone in the room knows what building a poll tax system would mean right now.

"Don't worry, Xiaowu, you are still too young. He didn't expect the tax system to be built in a short time. What he really meant was three other things."

Zheng Li shook his head. The cadres of the twelve ministries and commissions who were present all made speeches, and they all said a lot of things related to their responsibilities, but none of them seemed to be something that could be done. The organizational structure cannot be without us."

".It's because Deputy Chief Li has the attitude of not hesitating to offend people. It seems that the current situation is still not optimistic."

As for Deputy Chief Li who repeatedly emphasized that the tax system must be established today and tax collection will start tomorrow, what he is really trying to advance has little to do with what he said.

"Tsk, it was called poor at the beginning, so we are embarrassed to ask them for money?"

This is the first level of meaning he really wants to express. He has been saying that the recent reinforcements have cost a lot of money. The expenditure in the past few years has been quite high. The financial situation of the big city is quite bad. This place should be included in the financial system as soon as possible. The implication is that the Ministry of Finance and Logistics cannot provide money to support the construction here, and you can only make a living.

The easiest way is to establish a fiscal and taxation system, and then part of it will be handed over to the municipal government and part of it for self-use. As for the social problems that may be caused by taxation, does it have anything to do with my finance and logistics department? I am a money manager.

"All the twelve ministries and commissions were present, and they were all announcing their functions. They indirectly announced that their branches would be stationed here, which should be the intention of the central government. Deputy Chief Li is just a vanguard, to express his position."

The second meaning is that the need to establish a tax system may seem like nonsense, but it does mean that the sky here will inevitably change.

At present, this place has developed to such a point that it has become a tax evasion haven for countless companies and a refuge for the downcast, that is, because there is no tax mechanism, money itself is not a problem, but not paying taxes is itself a big problem.

If there is no tax or low tax in an area, a large number of "local companies" will be born. They put up a brand and operate outside. The "local" has only one office. In the end, they make money and evade taxes.

At the beginning, this area could have established a free trade zone and a commercial area (although it has not been established), but there are still many "legal enterprises". .

This Deputy Chief Li was so aggressive when he came up, nothing more than saying that "this situation cannot happen again in the future" and "Shiqian City cannot allow an area with an independent tax system and financial system."

This is still within the legal scope. As far as Zheng Li knows, the largest transactions here are still illegal, especially all kinds of smuggling and black market transactions.

collect taxes?How is it possible to collect taxes, and from whom?Tax casino owners?Tax brothel owners?Or collect taxes from smugglers and drug dealers?These things are the objects to be removed, and they are the sewers where the sewage flowing "downward" from the entire Shiqian City gathers.

But here comes the question again, if these illegal things are eliminated, how will the people here live?

If we want to maintain stability and let it "operate normally" as soon as possible, we can't completely break up the "order" of the past, isn't it just to cooperate with the boss of the local gang? Zheng Li absolutely refuses this kind of thing.

Once you start to cooperate, it will be difficult afterwards. If you want to turn around and send this group of guys to prison in the future, it is tantamount to destroying your credibility, and the moment you agree to cooperate, you will also lose the trust of the other group. .

Rubbing his eyebrows, Zheng Li felt ready to surrender. The new administrative team is too difficult, the bottom is a mess, and the twelve ministries above and the inner ring are obviously interfering.

They will absolutely not allow this place to continue to deteriorate. It is false that they attended the discussion today, showing that their attitude is true.

"No matter what you do, you must incorporate this area into the entire system of Shiqian City."

Zheng Li also responded to Deputy Chief Li's aggressiveness with a smile.

"Okay, we will start collecting taxes next week, but we don't know the local census situation, and we don't know who to collect taxes from. Does your company have a complete population record? Oh, it looks like you don't have it, so , please create a list of taxpayers as soon as possible, this should also be your job."

Immediately, Deputy Chief Li lost his temper.

Let him go to the "census", he doesn't want to just die in the alley.

In fact, here Zheng Li played a slick trick, playing a trick that is not on the table at all.

The twelve ministries and commissions are originally an abnormal large-scale structure in an abnormal society. In a peaceful society, the civil affairs department and the financial department must be separated.

Due to the fact that the current situation is not very peaceful, there are too many enemies of human beings, and there are too many combat departments in the twelve ministries and commissions. The internal affairs departments that should have been separated have been integrated together abruptly, and they are not taken seriously. Mr. Long had complained to Zheng Li before that his department hadn't had any strong recruits for many years.

And these days, "logistics" work such as the census is also a high-risk job, and it is best to be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It stands to reason that this was not originally the job of the Ministry of Logistics and Finance, but the current system forcibly applies it to him. Deputy Chief Li can't say that this is not my job.

But now, even if you really need the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you let the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is crazy about investigating cases, work for the logistics department to do a taxpayer census that is not so necessary?The order of the two parties is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is at the front, and the Ministry of Logistics has always been at the bottom.

Zheng Li was fighting back, but also a test.

Judging from the fact that Deputy Chief Li was speechless, he immediately talked about other situations. The Ministry of Logistics and Finance does not really want to collect taxes immediately. [-]. It is impossible after no tax. This time we must eradicate the cancer. The third is to express the unity of the twelve ministries and commissions. This time we must intervene and even set up a permanent institution here.

But from another perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Since they have needs and goals, then the new administrative team cannot directly reject requests for assistance and cooperation.

Talk, you can talk.

Unlike Wuwu who was enraged, Zheng Li regarded the opponent as a comrade in arms on the same front and could borrow strength.

In fact, it's not that Wuwu doesn't understand at all, she will think it through after she calms down.

She was so annoyed and even angry, mainly because she was a pure local faction, and the twelve ministries and commissions were the backbone of the inner circle of the central government.

When emotions rise, rationality will naturally disappear. After getting angry, you will calm down.

"It's really a headache. Miss Zheng, as the chief officer of this joint meeting, I don't know what you think."

Sitting beside Zheng Li was Miss Zheng Hongqi, who was also the top combat force dispatched this time. But judging from the gossip, she seemed to be a temporary recruited civilian force.

With red hair and golden eyes, she was very silent at the meeting, just smiling and watching everything happen, as if she had nothing to do with herself, as if she was a vase who only needed to be responsible for her beautiful appearance, but Zheng Li knew that although what she did was the master She is also the nominal meeting convener and the head of the new government, but she really has nothing to do with it, and she doesn't even have to go to work normally.

"Secretary-General Zheng. Let me call you Xiao Zheng."

She looks like a girl in her 20s, with a soft and sweet smile on her lips, and her mixed-race characteristics make her appear to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but Zheng Li knows that the phrase "Xiao Zheng" probably doesn't really mean it. Wrong, she is probably several times her age.

"You Mayor Li told me that I only need military support when necessary. When you need me, you can just say it. As an outsider, I interfere too much, which doesn't seem to be a good thing. .”

Of course Zheng Li couldn't say "Yes, you'd better not interfere", but he also agreed with the other party's statement in his heart.

When he saw her, Zheng Li was still a little surprised. Why did he send a top-level combat force from the Western Continent? Isn't there anyone here?

Even if this is highly likely to be an excessive government, is it really appropriate for the chief guard to be an overt outsider? But the superior has made such a decision, and Zheng Li can only obey. Maybe the other party has some advantages. Can't see it.

"At least from the current point of view, it is still relatively easy to deal with."

In fact, what Zheng Li is most afraid of is sending out a guard-level combat force who doesn't understand anything but likes to take care of things. , at least they won't carelessly.

Looking at it now, apart from smiling and looking at her eyes, everything is fine, the position is very upright, and it is clear that she is here to be a vase and military support. Although it is indeed a very beautiful vase .

"It's strange, why do I feel that she is a bit familiar and kind, it's the first time I've met a stranger, and she said that it's the first time she came to the Eastern Continent. Maybe it's the result of mixed blood, let me look serious, It might also be the name. Pfft, Zheng Hongqi, the parents who named her are really a bit wicked."

This name with a sense of the times made Zheng Li almost laugh at the time, but after thinking about it, the meanings and meanings of names are different in different times. Just normal aesthetics.

In fact, Zheng Li really thinks this name is very strange, and other people accept it normally, and it even makes Zheng Li a little inexplicably sad, just like the sad feeling of the times when "I throw out a stalk but no one understands it". .

Ahem, let’s get down to business, no matter what, under Zheng Li’s repeated probing, Zheng Hongqi’s “Ms.

At this time, he is not in a hurry to continue talking about work. There will be no results today.

There are too many participants in today's meeting. The major ministries and commissions and district governments have sent commissioners to announce their existence. Everyone introduce themselves, and surface their positions and departmental attitudes. It's almost time to end.

Today, I still recognize my subordinates to pave the way for future work.

The private communication has not yet started, and that is the coordination method to solve the problem. At the meeting, the overall situation is basically determined, and the process will be followed directly.

Now I can't do other things, but it's more important to get closer to Xiaowu (not contacted for a long time and become a little distant), and to build a good cooperative relationship with the new boss, Ms. Zheng.

To check and balance the powerful central faction, Zheng Li needs the support of the local faction, and the support of the superior's mythical combat power is the prerequisite for all work.

After confirming the current work goal, Zheng Li temporarily put aside all his troubles, found some interesting topics, and chatted with the two ladies. He casually mentioned a few nasty jokes and arena jokes, which made Ms. Zheng smile brighter .

"Oh, Xiao Zheng, you want to participate in this Sword God Competition? You are really young and promising."
