Zhang Fei doesn't like to urge payment, he only likes to impose fines. After settling the tax bill for each family, he will issue a tax bill for each family, and you can take the tax bill and pay the tax yourself.

You don't have to go.

Then just sue.

Increase our ear pens' income.

At this point, those powerful people are really helpless. After all, Zhang Fei occupies the legal high ground, and he is sure to lose the lawsuit.

But they were not in a hurry to pay it.

Looking back, the key to Zhang Fei's success was that he had the people under his control, but the problem was that if you demolished their huts, you had to give them some compensation.

The Police Headquarters has also made a promise.

The Imperial Street is definitely not enough.

If compensation cannot be made, it is deception and things will only get worse.

...

...

If your police department is really capable and can resolve this matter, then we will pay the money.

I can only say that you are cruel enough.

.......

General Police Station.

"Your Excellency the Chief Superintendent, we have already made a preliminary calculation. Adding the profits from the license plate, we can earn about 700,000 guan this year."

After hearing this, Cao Ping couldn't help but gasp, "So many?"

Almost at the same time, Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Is that all?"

Cao Ping couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Fei, "Do you have a lot of money?"

Seven hundred thousand strings of cash?

Just this little?

Are you speaking human language?

Zhang Fei said embarrassedly: "No, I...I am used to crying about being poor, so..."

Cao Ping blinked and sighed, "Actually, you're right. It sounds like a lot, but compared to the expenditure of our General Police Department, it's not that much."

"That's right. That's right."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly and asked the clerk, "How much can we get from street tax and license plate fees every year in the future?"

Why are there so many this year? There are a batch of nice license plates waiting to be sold, and the people have to pay a neighborhood wall fee. Most of them are businessmen, and almost every shop has these problems. It adds up to a lot, but this is a one-time fee and does not have to be paid every year.

The clerk replied, "About 350,000 strings of cash."

So much? Cao Ping was secretly surprised. The license plate fee was actually just that much. The key cost came from the street infringement tax. You know, the rent for public housing was only 160,000 to 170,000 strings of cash a year. This was equivalent to doubling it.

But think about it, his family has to pay nearly 76 strings of cash for license plates and street infringement taxes every year, and his family doesn't pay much. For example, the Gu family has to pay 120 strings of cash in street infringement taxes every year.

Gu Jiaguang's house occupies a lot of land, as well as his shop. The rectification of Chunfeng Shili does not mean that all the occupied land will be returned. It will probably be demolished half, and the other half will be retained, which also requires payment of taxes.

But Cao Ping said, "This is far from enough to cover the expenses of our General Police Department."

The clerk replied: "The court still has to give us funding every year, and when you add it up...!"

"It's indeed not enough when you count it up." Zhang Fei interrupted him.

Cao Ping just nodded.

The clerk said no more. He deeply despised these two people in his heart. They made so much money and still felt it was not enough.

Cao Ping nodded and said, "Alright! I understand. You can go out and do your work first."

"yes."

After the clerk left, Zhang Fei was still muttering, "It's just a little. It seems we should use it sparingly."

Cao Ping heard it clearly and snorted, "Okay, this person has left, and you are still crying poor here. Do you want me to give you money to subsidize you?"

Zhang Fei was startled, and said awkwardly: "That's not what I meant, but, in fact, it's just enough."

Cao Ping said unhappily, "What do you mean 'just enough'? I think it's more than enough."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "The Chief Superintendent cannot be calculated according to the previous standards, but according to the current standards."

"What is the current standard?" Cao Ping asked curiously.

Zhang Fei said: "Let's not talk about it. In the past, many dirty and tiring jobs were done by the yamen servants or soldiers, but now they all have to be hired to do it."

"Hire someone?"

Cao Ping was surprised.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "The Chief Superintendent cannot demand the current patrolmen to receive the same salary as before. The key is that they won't do it. In the past, they had many ways to make money, but now it's no longer allowed. The salary must be increased. A patrolman should receive at least 60 guan of money per year."

Cao commented: "Do you have to pay so much? This is already the salary of the Divine Guards."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "That's how I calculated it. Only with this salary can we require them to abide by the rules and enforce the law strictly, so as not to lose their positions. In addition, we have to hire people to clean the streets. If they don't do a good job after getting the money, they will definitely not be happy. This is another expense."

Cao Ping coughed and said, "Aren't there servants in front of the yamen?"

Zhang Fei said: "What I mean is to make those Yaqianyi regulars, because most of them come from wealthy families, and they are actually the most suitable to be patrol police.

Many of them could count and read, but they also had concerns in their hearts. Unlike the old soldiers in the three yamen, all of them were very cunning. If they were asked to collect taxes, there would definitely be trouble.

At the same time, I will hire people from densely populated areas to clean the streets to stabilize them, as we cannot provide them with so many stalls. "

What he meant was to convert all of this batch of yamen servants into regular employees, and to continue to recruit yamen servants in the future. After all, Zhao Xu had a grand plan.

Disciples from the middle class are the best candidates, no matter from which perspective. For example, the soldiers recruited from the Three Yamen were either bandits or beggars.

If they are all cunning and have such poor quality, it would be enough to let them not break the law. Asking them to enforce the law is simply courting death!

They are not even qualified to be the police.

Cao Ping was sweating when he heard this. "If you want to spend it this way, it's just enough. Maybe it's not enough."

Zhang Fei said: "But there is still a fortune that has not been counted."

"What wealth?"

"It's about punishment for violations. We are responsible for violations, so we can try to impose fines, and the money can be given to them as bonuses."

"......?"

Cao Ping felt somewhat comforted by the first half of the sentence, but felt bad after hearing the second half. "Is this how your family spends money? Spend every penny you have."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Chief Superintendent, we can't keep this money. Only when we spend it all, those powerful people will have nothing to say, lest they accuse us of amassing wealth and we gain nothing. Then they will have more confidence to speak. Besides, the Chief Superintendent wants political achievements. As long as they work hard, the Chief Superintendent can get political achievements, which are much more useful than money."

Cao Ping really didn't need to make money from this, so he said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to coordinate."

When I heard that the funds were so tight and I would have to invest money if I didn't play well, I quickly got rid of it. This was a hot potato.

Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Chief Superintendent, I am just a yamen officer, let Yanei handle it, but I will do my best to assist Yanei."

Cao commented: "How about I promote you to chief of police?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "I am just here to serve, I have a lot of things to do at home." He thought to himself, with my salary, can you afford me?

Cao Ping said angrily: "You are the one who caused this. If you just walk away, can you manage the whole building by yourself?"

Doesn't he know what kind of person his son is?

Zhang Fei said: "First of all, I will take care of the aftermath. Secondly, the General Police Department can also hire our Bian Jing Law Firm. It won't cost much a year."

Cao Ping snorted, "It doesn't cost much, but I'll hire you no matter how much it costs."

I can't live without this brat!

Zhang Fei could only smile apologetically.

Cao Ping could be considered a man of both civil and military talents. His archery skills were top-notch in the army, he could shoot with both hands, and he was also a good writer. However, he had no idea about the complicated financial accounts, so he handed them all over to Cao Dongdong and Zhang Fei.

He is responsible for the construction, how to divide the police stations into each street, and the personnel allocation.

This arrangement is very reasonable.

Because Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, both kids from rich families, have no concept of money and have never thought about making money from it, they are very generous.

Enjoy the flowers.

We have no objection.

Anyway, it’s earned by everyone.

It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.

Just as they were making plans at the police station, Xu Zhiqian suddenly arrived.

"Madam Xu."

Cao Dongdong winked and said, "Are you here to look for Zhang San?"

"She's here to assign tasks."

Zhang Fei walked forward and said to Xu Zhiqian, "Are you exhausted these days?"

Xu Zhiqian shook her head: "No matter how tired I am, I am not as tired as you. I don't even have time to go home."

Zhang Feike has been staying in the police station these days. He has too many trivial matters to deal with, and he is always on his side. Basically, he is busy until three o'clock in the morning every day. Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi are only responsible for charging into battle.

Ma Xiaoyi asked curiously, "What task is assigned?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Our men's talent is to make money, and women's talent is to spend money. Now is the time to spend money, so of course we have to find a woman!"

"That's just nonsense."

Xu Zhiqian spat and said to Ma Xiaoyi, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He has already given me the task of changing the stall."

Cao Dongdong suddenly realized, "No wonder you rarely mentioned the stall, it turned out that you handed it over to Madam Xu!"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

They have to do things like demolishing the house, but the matter of compensation must be handed over to Xu Zhiqian. As long as the money is enough, she is as capable as any man, as she has rich experience in helping people.

Xu Zhiqian spread out the blueprint on the table, "Look, these red circles are the vegetable market I planned."

"The market?"

Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi were stunned.

Zhang Fei said: "It is a place dedicated to residents buying and selling vegetables."

Ma Xiaoyi wondered, "Didn't they let them rule the streets?"

Zhang Fei said, "That's just a slogan. You took it seriously. What are those residents selling? I'm afraid you wouldn't even eat them. Who would you sell them to in the Imperial Street? Those stalls will be rented to wealthy businessmen to sell expensive goods. They serve the rich."

Cao Dongdong nodded slightly and said, "It turns out they were all lies."

"publicity!"

Zhang Fei reiterated.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Zhang San is right. Those residents can't do business in the Imperial Street."

Ma Xiaoyi looked at the red circles and suddenly said, "Why are all the vegetable markets concentrated at the corner of the city?"

Xu Zhiqian explained: "First, most of the residential areas are concentrated on the edge of the city. Secondly, only the corners of the city can still spare some space to build a vegetable market."

Cao Dongdong wondered, "Who would run to the corner for no reason?"

Xu Zhiqian explained: "Most of the businesses those residents usually do are for local residents, which is different from the vendors on Bianhe Street. If I build vegetable markets in these places, they will have to go to the vegetable markets to buy their daily food.

The street leading from the residential area to the food street was carefully selected by me. It is relatively empty and usually not crowded. This leaves room for them to set up stalls and provide wine, food and pancakes.

Residents can eat on the way to buy and sell vegetables. In addition, the vegetable market is close to the city gate, which can attract farmers from outside the city to sell vegetables here. Farmers can make money from selling vegetables and buy some delicious food to take home. Their business will only be better than before. "

Ma Xiaoyi had a picture in his mind, and said thoughtfully: "Brother, this idea sounds good."

Cao Dongdong seemed to understand and said, "It seems to be feasible."

Zhang Fei asked: "How much funding is needed?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I roughly estimated that a total of 30,000 strings of cash would be needed."

Cao Dongdong exclaimed: "It's just this small! Shouldn't we build dozens of them?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "This vegetable market is very simple, it is just a big shed built with bricks and tiles."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "We can also hire labor from the residential areas to build the vegetable market. In addition, we can also ask the women there to make new police uniforms."

"New police uniforms?"

Ma Xiaoyi asked hurriedly: "What new police uniform?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Now we are all justice forces who are responsible for maintaining public order. We cannot always dress like convicts. Therefore, I plan to give our police officers a new style of uniform that will make them easier to recognize."

Ma Xiaoyi asked, "Then are our sheriffs' uniforms different?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Of course."

Cao Dongdong asked anxiously, "Where's the Deputy Chief Superintendent?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's even more different."

Cao Dongdong said: "I will find someone to do it myself, so I won't bother you."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Me too, me too."
