The short videos I watched are from ancient times, and the ancients broke the defense

Roper takes office.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Looking forward to new changes.

In the canopy:

【Against this background, in July 1917, Postmaster General Daniel Roper officially assumed the post of Commissioner of Revenue.】

【The reason why the postmaster can manage taxes is because the postal system at that time was quite full of moral integrity.】

【At that time, the American Post Office also established banking services, and often had to deal with heroes who robbed trains and robbed vaults.】

【Therefore, in the eyes of Americans, the Postal Service is definitely not a simple courier, but a semi-violent department. 】

Not just the tax department.

This post office is also a violent institution?

Even though I have enough acceptance of the magic of America.

But the magic ends there.

It still makes Lao Zhu feel unreal.

Especially after seeing the current situation of post offices in previous generations of China.

Such a comparison...

Good guy!

I bet you that all the major imperial institutions in the United States have ruthless people per capita, right?

America, you are not human!

You turned the whole country into a ghost!

"But then again"

"Since this post office can be considered a violent department,"

"Then it would be appropriate to transfer the postmaster to collect taxes."

The Post Office deals with heroes.

The tax bureau is all heroes.

If you are a professional, it is......

【As a close confidant of President Wilson, Roper directly abandoned the old tax office and instead convened a large number of high-quality young people for centralized training.】

【At the newcomer meeting, he made a historic statement on the positioning of the U.S. Taxation Service】

【This is what he said at the time:】

【Gentlemen, we are not public servants, nor are we serving the people. We are only responsible for one thing when wearing these clothes, collecting money! Collect money! Still collecting money! Yes, that’s right, we are only responsible for collecting money for the federal government, what? Something else? Oh God, the old John next door knows that it's not his business. Don't mind it. That's not our job, guys.】

【.......】

【Therefore, under this belief, the tax collectors of the tax department no longer have a spirit of service towards the common people - of course, they did not have such a thing in the first place.~~~】

【As for expropriation methods, Roper returned to Civil War-era methods.】

【The tax office issues the tax return, which is then compared with the information from the financial institution during review.】

【Of course, this is the 20th century. If you evade taxes, we will definitely not use the barbaric means of armed collection. 】

See this.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but nodded in approval.

So far.

He all felt that Roper was on the right path.

Although the previous tax administration was very effective.

But in actual practice.

Everything he does is extremely anthropomorphic.

Compared with him, Xiaoleiyin Temple can be regarded as a Buddha everywhere.

Don’t treat the common people as human beings!

The groundbreaking commission law turned taxation into a revenue-generating business. People talked about treating others as cattle or horses, but you can't really treat others as cattle or horses!

If Roper still adopts this approach after taking office.

It is so hard to establish taxation habits in the hearts of the people.

Maybe it will collapse all of a sudden - extraordinary measures can be used in special times, but if extraordinary measures are used at any time, the people will lose basic trust in the tax bureau and even become resistant to paying taxes. therefore.

Roper's approach coincided with what Lao Zhu had in mind.

Taxation Department, please.

Tax, yes.

But no violent collection methods!

Except Lao Zhu.

Other ancient people saw in the sky that it is now the 20th century. If you evade taxes, we will definitely not use such brutal means of armed collection.

I also subconsciously felt that Roper finally looked like a human being.

"Although taxation is the foundation of the country, like Director Liu, it is only a matter of fishing, which is not a long-term solution."

"In the words of later generations, the times are developing! The previous approach definitely won’t work."

"After Director Luo's reforms, the tax bureau should be a little gentler, right?"

"It must be that my old Luo family has a good family tradition, unlike that surnamed Liu who is not a good person."

"Um? Then why is America like us? Are there hundreds of surnames?"

This is so.

This is so.

The ancient people were very optimistic that the tax bureau was finally on track.

They also felt that they were finally like a human being.

However,......

Is this really the case?

【Roper's approach was milder】

【But this is only compared to the Lewis era】

【Under Roper's leadership, the tax bureau has iterated on its business style. To use a more vivid metaphor, that is, from street gangsters to putting on suits and ties, entering and leaving high-end office buildings, and starting to cut leeks in an organized manner!】

【If during the review it is found that the data has income, we will fine you to death!】

【If you don't pay, your property will be sealed and auctioned to hand it over for you!】

【Anyone who dares not to fill out a tax return will be sent directly to your home!】

【In addition to the same tax collection model, Roper also inherited the commission system from the Civil War period and directly stipulated the standards for fire consumption.】

【Once there is a tax penalty, the case handler is eligible to take a commission from it. Basically, the more you handle, the more severe the penalty, and the more you make!】

【Come on, brothers! The director leads you in, and income is generated by individuals! The time has come for brothers to become wealthy!】

【Soon, a group of new tax collectors were attacking every state in the United States like wild dogs!】

【Although they can no longer be armed to collect taxes, with the support of laws and policies, tax collectors across the United States quickly began to work intensively】

【Let’s start sustainable fishing for the people across the country!】

【Of course, their results are also remarkable.】

【Before Roper took office in 1916, there were only 450,000 income tax filers in the United States.】

【By 1917, half a year after he took office, the number of tax filers had reached 3.82 million.】

【By the end of the war in 1920, the number of tax filers had reached 7.6 million.】

【Just tell me if it has any effect. 】

Luo shocked me!

He really made me cry to death!

I originally thought I had sent away Butcher Liu and welcomed Luo Shanren.

Unexpectedly, Luo Shanren took off his robe after taking office - this-is-Butcher 2.0!

The Ming Dynasty plane.

Numb.

Lao Zhu is in trouble again!

I bet you can't find a normal person in this beautiful lady! ?

I originally thought that Roper would change Lewis's previous method of violent taxation.

Switch to a gentler style of play. did not expect......He directly came and upgraded on the spot!

Look at his three axes.

It's so gentle!

Let you fill in the tax form yourself, and if you make a mistake, you will be fined to death!

Not paying the fine? Then just ransack the house!

What?

Are you saying you don't need to fill out a tax form at all?

Good news: You have a new home.

Bad news: Your new home is in a prison cell.

Are you sweating profusely? aside.

Everyone who looked at Zhu Biao was dumbfounded.

"With such chaos, wouldn’t the world want to be in chaos?"

"How can such cruel officials not make people resentful?"

As a moderate - although he has not officially taken office, but based on the image he left in the history books, it should be quite the same.

As a moderate, it is difficult for Zhu Biao to imagine this approach. It can be used to govern the country.

Looking at the past dynasties of China, which dynasty used cruel officials to rule the people?

What?

Come to Junchen?

Did Wu Zhou have a good death?

When I think of Lao Zhu just unabashedly wanting to learn This is the tax office.

Zhu Biao felt cold in his heart!

He immediately said:

"Father, this tax office is acting erratically, especially in the former Yuan Dynasty."

"Ming Dynasty should take this as a lesson and never go down this evil path!"

Zhu Biao said it sincerely.

However,

Lao Zhu's attitude was quite intriguing.

He stared at his eldest son, who was praised by courtiers for his generosity.

There was no tendency in his voice.

"Biao'er thinks what Roper did is inappropriate?"

"certainly! Zhu

Biao replied directly without thinking.

"This person is even cooler than Lewis!"

"Sending people to jail lightly, and frequently raiding their homes for investigation and prosecution, if things go on like this, is this the way to control the people?"

"I dare to assert that if things continue like this, the United States will inevitably be filled with resentment. The government is forcing the people to rebel, and the people have no choice but to rebel!"

It's serious. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Brother Biao is really serious.

How can you say this in front of Lao Zhu if you think so?

Isn't this lowering your impression score?

Sure enough,.

When he heard this,

Lao Zhu frowned rarely.

This time, his voice was even more displeased.

"Biaoer, do you really think so?

Zhu Biao said with emotion:"Yes, father, that's what I think.""

He answered very quickly, almost without thinking.

So after he finished speaking, he could sense the unusual emotion in Lao Zhu's words.

He quietly raised his head[]

Looking at Lao Zhu's expression.

He was a little uneasy again

"Father, son and minister......Did Erchen say something wrong?"

Is that wrong?

That's not the case.

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao with a complicated expression.

After a moment of silence, he sighed quietly.

"Biaoer, you are good at everything, but you are too generous."

"We often tell you this, but you always don't take it seriously, and you don't know whether to follow me or your mother."

Perhaps he mentioned Empress Ma.

Lao Zhu's voice couldn't help but lowered a bit.

The original slight displeasure with Zhu Biao was also diluted.

Instead, he calmly explained to him

"Let’s ask a question, you say that Roper is a cruel official, but what makes him so cool?"

Zhu Biao was much more rigorous this time.

He thought carefully before speaking.

"Roper treated the people harshly, ransacking homes and going to jail was a common occurrence, and his methods were ruthless."

"But why did he confiscate people's homes and put them in jail?"

"Naturally, people evade taxes......"

Speaking of which.

Zhu Biao was stunned!

But he finally reacted.

Only then did Lao Zhu finish.

"This Roper's method is not a method of cruelty to officials and suffering of the people, but a method of enriching the country and strengthening the people!"

"Biao'er, you also read military books on weekdays. There are sentences like this in the military books you have read in the past.......If the pawn is not personally attached and punished, it will not be accepted, and if it is not accepted, it will be difficult to use; if the pawn is already attached but the punishment is not effective, then it cannot be used."

Lao Zhu said this sentence in the ninth chapter of March in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The general idea is that if you punish the soldiers before they have attached themselves, the soldiers will inevitably disobey. After the soldiers have attached, you will not punish them if they make mistakes. This is Soldiers are useless

"The ancients said that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, but for us, governing a country is like leading an army."

"What should I do if my soldiers disobey? Hit them with a big whip! Draw it a few times to ensure that if we tell him to go east, he will not dare to go west, and if we tell him to go west, he will not dare to go east!"

"What about the people? If the people are disobedient, we must punish them!"

"Although Roper's approach is harsh, it is never without purpose."

"Why did he want to ransack the house? Want to put people in jail?"

"That’s not because they don’t pay taxes! Tax evasion!"

".Was it their own money they stole?"

"No, it’s the court’s money! It's the country's money! It’s the money of the people of the world!"

"Such unruly people should be dealt with severely!"

"You are being harsh today, and the people will be dissatisfied. But the more generous you are, the people in this world will think that you are weak and can be bullied! If we regress once, we will regress again and again. If we regress again and again, we will no longer want this world!"

Old Zhu's voice was like thunder.

The voice got louder and louder as he spoke. Zhu Biao was struck by lightning.

He was stunned!

Yes.

He only thought that Roper's approach was very harsh.

If things go on like this, it will breed public dissatisfaction.

But he never I thought about it.

Although Roper is strict, does he deal with people harshly without any reason?

Never!

The reason why the house was searched was not because the tax office wanted to punish him.

It was because he evaded taxes!

Tax evaders should be punished!

Lao Zhu’s godson.

Zhu Biao's mind was full of thoughts.

At the end, he took a long breath and bowed to Old Zhu to the end.

"My son, I have learned a lesson!"

This time.

Zhu Biao really learned a lesson.

Just like what Lao Zhu said.

He is generous!

There is no problem with being generous.

But you can't be too generous!

You can't think of treating the people well and make concessions again and again!

Even the fundamental tax plan of this country can be punished with serious crimes and light penalties!

Taking over the world is not a treat.

Within the law, there is no leniency!

Maybe Zhu Biao's performance just now made Lao Zhu too dissatisfied.

This time.

Lao Zhu I didn’t show much kindness to him.

I turned my back and looked at the sky again.

【Of course, Director Roper has not really given up on the fine tradition of armed tax collection.】

【After several days of discussion with his subordinates, in 1919, Director Roper hired several tough men from the Post Office, led by Elmo Airey, to formally establish a special intelligence unit.】

【This department later became a department that made countless people talk about it—the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division.】

【Within the tax department, the Criminal Investigation Division and general auditors have two distinct responsibilities.】

【Specifically, ordinary inspectors are in charge of tax evasion and other illegal activities, while the Criminal Investigation Division is in charge of crimes.】

【Because among the numerous tax evasion armies, in addition to ordinary people, there are also tax evasion behaviors committed by large enterprises and consortiums.】

【Obviously, these major cases cannot be solved by one or two inspectors, so the Criminal Investigation Department needs to intervene.】

【And more importantly, according to the principles in the Constitution, the federal government gives the tax office the power to tax income from all sources!】

【Since it comes from all sources, income from drug trafficking, smuggling, money laundering, etc. will naturally be taxed. 】

In the sky.

The video continues with an in-depth look at how the Department of Revenue has changed since Roper took office. at this time.

The foreshadowing laid before has come to the fore - the tax bureau has the right to tax income from all sources!

The right to tax income from all sources!

All sources!

Including drug trafficking, smuggling, money laundering and other illegal activities!

See this.

The ancients really couldn't hold back this time!

This little tax office......It's so powerful!

People are already doing illegal things!

Go make some dirty money!

You actually have to pay taxes!

"Oh My God! Isn’t this too magical? How can those outlaws receive their taxes?"

"Wait, did you notice what was said in the video just now? Recruited heroes from the post office......Titan? post Office? This post office seems to be very simple!"

"Compared to the post office, I'm more curious about how they collect taxes from those lawless gangsters. It's impossible to collect taxes at all, right?"

"Although there are explicit provisions, I guess......At most, it's just words. If we really want to collect taxes, can those gangsters with their heads in their belts pay the taxes in a decent manner?"

"Yes, this is simply impossible!"

Although Tianmu said so, it is obvious that the ancients were not optimistic about the tax bureau's ability to collect taxes from the lawless gangsters. It doesn't matter if they are not optimistic. Because they will soon see the biggest event in the history of the Internal Revenue Service. Brilliant record. And the object of that record has a name that will be feared on the Internet in later generations - Al Capone!.
