The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to meet him, and while laughing, he took a bunch of broken silver and stuffed it into the hand of the leading Zaoli.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to pay it, but the tax of thirty taels a month is too much. The small shop has a small profit, so I really can't afford it!"

Zhu Yunxuan looked sideways.

Although the business of this tea shed is good, they only charge one penny for a bowl of tea, and the total income at the end of the day is only a thousand penny at most.

The price of goods at this time was about one thousand taels of silver.

In other words, all gross income must be used to pay taxes to be able to pay enough.

If the cost is included, the store will have to subsidize it.

"If you can't pay, then don't open it!" Zaoli casually took the broken silver from the store into his arms, but had no intention of letting him go.

"It's natural to open a shop and collect taxes." Zaoli said with a cupped hand: "His Royal Highness Taisun is kind and opens the tax certificate and allows you to do business. Only then can you come here to open a tea shed. Why, are you still thinking about refusing to pay taxes?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "It's natural to pay taxes, but thirty taels of silver..."

Yinzi was not surprised, smiled slightly, and winked at Zhu Yun again.

Many people whispered to each other quietly.

"Master Zhou, the steward of the Prince Consort's Mansion, specifically asked the inspector to take care of him."

Zaoli cursed loudly: "His bookworm is bad and stupid. Since ancient times, the emperor's relatives, noble ministers and low-ranking officials have all paid taxes. Only ordinary people need to pay taxes. So why don't you say more?"

"If so, how can Tax Yang Shiqi complete the task of collecting taxes?"

As expected, whether there is an investigation or not, you have no right to speak.

After hearing this, the guests outside the tea shed all suddenly realized.

"After all, the rule set by Taisun Palace is that when doing business, you must obtain a tax certificate and pay taxes. If you pay a penny, you will lose face."

The shopkeeper muttered loudly at the side: "If you are being public, why does the tea shed next door only charge eighty penny in tax a month?"

"Why don't you tell him openly today that next door is a teahouse owned by the son of a servant of the Prince Consort's Mansion."

"But do you know who set the tax? You still need to make a complaint to the government, explain the whole story, and reduce the undertaxed tax."

If I had come to the dock for a private visit in person, I would really know that my bad business policies turned out to be what they were during the implementation.

They may also think that their reforms are ineffective and their merits are considerable.

But it was the same era.

The government basically has no control over how to collect the money, and only recognizes the total number.

If so, that system could last for thousands of years.

One family receives eighty taels of silver, and the other receives eighty taels of silver. The difference is a thousand times, which is too fair.

I spoke very arrogantly, as if I had never done that kind of arbitrary arrest.

"But you are so proud of me." The shopkeeper came over and said, "I just thanked that young man for his generous words. Although he could not reduce the tax of the big shop, it is commendable for his sincerity. I thank you."

Mr. Cao sighed: "I talked a lot of nonsense, which helped things, but it was of no use?"

"If you have power, you should do business."

"Not to mention running a small business, opening a tea shed in Dali is also something that those of us with power can participate in."

That is also the most common approach.

Few gentry took the opportunity to exercise power and oppress the powerful people.

"Yang Shiqi didn't set the tax for my family in the first place, but he was willing to take the initiative to pay eighty cents."

"There are regulations, and this is by way of example, whether it is a relative of the emperor, a distinguished minister or a low-ranking official, or those whose family members are doing business, they will all pay taxes. Are there any special exemptions?"

"The Taisun Palace has opened up business qualifications. Anyone can do business as long as they apply for a tax certificate. The purpose is to make the people of heaven have no way to make a living, but it is to levy and extort money."

"If one day you are able to become an official in the imperial court, you must reform the official system and correct the long-standing shortcomings."

The tax farming system was implemented. A certain township or village had to collect more taxes than the others, and the squires with low status and power collected the taxes on their behalf.

"If someone pays eighty cents, he is in a bad mood. If so, even if he pays only one cent, what can he do?" Zaoli said: "Does he know whose business is the tea shed next door?"

"Yang Shiqi had no choice but to set a tax of eighty taels for him."

Zaoli turned around and asked, "Is he okay?"

"We all have to pay, but he has to pay less?"

Wu Yingxuan was thinking about it animatedly, not wanting to observe how I was doing things, so she signaled to Wu Ying that she wanted to intervene.

"That's it, that's all. After the little family has finished drinking tea, the elder will close the stall and go home."

"Yang Shiqi had a grudge against the store owner in the past, and has had a grudge recently. The tax is set out of public interest, so why is there such a thing as excessive taxation?"

Complete the task and everything will be fine.

That is, for an area, a certain amount of tax will be charged in total, and a total amount will be determined.

“There is no policy from below and no countermeasures from above!”

"I thought that since the Taisun Palace is open for business, we can take advantage of the bad days for a few days, but now that I think about it, it's okay."

However, due to concerns about the local reputation, a small number of places still maintain a delicate balance.

"We are not all suffering yet, and very few of us are living in poverty."

Although my voice was low, everyone in the tea shed was listening quietly at this time, so if there was any noise, it would still be muddy to my ears.

Historically, Mr. Cao had outstanding talents. He served as chief assistant for more than seventy years and was known for his prudent and prudent actions.

Tax collection is the task of collecting taxes, and the most important thing is to face the consequences.

Zhu Yun understood the idea and immediately asked: "What do you mean by that?"

Lord Cao was surprised and said: "The commercial tax set by the imperial court did not say that the servants of the consort's family are not exempt from tax exemptions and reductions."

"If you tell me, the real misfortunes are these big merchants."

The silver is so moving.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "We ordinary people are not like that. We are bullied wherever we go."

Is he really Mr. Cao who is the leader of the Eight Yangs?

I thought I would meet him by chance outside.

Although there is no task, it is mainly to supervise the work and prevent the tax commissioner from being lazy.

"Why do we have to pay taxes when we go to other places, and we need powerful people to pay them on our behalf?"

Of course, the management of a civilized society should be less regulated, and it would dare to be cautious and random in taxation.

"What is his identity and he still wants to pay the same taxes as others?"

After all, what is prescribed for tax collectors below is "tax package".

"The tax is set by the superiors. We brothers can't do anything about it. You don't need to complain."

"If that student of his dares to talk nonsense again, you will put him in a small prison and stay there for a few days to reflect on his bad behavior."

In fact, the tax farming system was not adopted until the technologically advanced societies of the past.

Zaoli ignored him, turned around and left.

Zhu Yunxiao asked: "Is it possible that the young master doesn't have a good idea of ​​how to govern the country? Why don't you talk about it and listen to it?"

Therefore, even if it is completed, we still dare to mess around.

It’s no surprise that we do some extraordinary things in order to complete our tasks.

At this moment, the man in green stood up and shouted: "Hurry up."

"It turns out that it was opened by a servant of the Prince Consort's family. It's strange that he had to pay so little."

Yin Ziren's heart moved and he winked at Zhu Yun.

"You can't tell him that there are hundreds of stores in that area, but it's not just dozens that really need to pay taxes."

After Zaoli finished speaking, he glared at Mr. Cao again and said: "Today you are still busy going to other stores to collect taxes, and you are too lazy to do it. If so, you will definitely take him outside the small prison and lock him up for a few days.

Let him realize how powerful I am."

"If he can also hang the tea shed under the name of a relative of the emperor, he can pay eighty yuan a month just like us."

"Who told him whether he has a backer?"

There is no calm and calm demeanor in his movements.

"That's not how business was done in those days."

Zaoli left, Master Cao sat down and said angrily: "That's unreasonable. He's just a great Zaoli, but he can be so overbearing. It's really hateful."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Master Cao?

"Hateful!" Mr. Cao said calmly, and placed a heavy palm under the table.

"Even scholars who have passed the examination can enjoy tax-free privileges. This is true for land tax and corvee, and the same is true for commercial tax."

As long as the task of collecting taxes can be completed, the squire will be left in charge.

…

"What kind of little person do you think you are? It turns out that you are just a student from Lidi, and you dare to take charge of the taxation of the wharf." Zaoli Rere said: "Collect less tax, more tax, this is Wuyingli Ding, who is in charge of the tax here.

of."

The woman in Tsing Yi cupped her hands in salute and said: "This is a luxurious teahouse. The tax of eighty taels of Jiangxi per month is too low."

Tax specialists will allocate tax tasks. For example, this year we must collect 100 million in taxes.

However, I spared no effort to suppress my political opponents. In my later years, I went on a rampage in the countryside, committing violence and killing people. The evaluation of me by my predecessors can be described as a mixture of praise and blame.

"Stop talking nonsense." Zaoli interrupted him without waiting for him to finish.

However, it would be wrong to have experienced many emperors and stayed under the chief minister's office for more than seventy years.

Dynasties change and the country changes hands, but it always remains the same.

"A small businessman relies on relatives of the emperor, and is a low-level official. Although he applies for a tax certificate, he only pays a little bit."

At this time, Mr. Cao had not yet entered the officialdom. He was just an abnormal student, not a bit cold-blooded.

If you break the law in order to complete the task, the punishment will be very small.

The guest said: "The Taisun Palace has opened up the business qualifications. Now no one can apply for a tax certificate to do business, but at the same time, business tax has also been levied."

If you really want to complete it, you should write a self-criticism and lose the qualification to be evaluated for excellence and be withdrawn first.

Only act with a little flexibility within the scope permitted by law.

"If you can't collect money from the rich and powerful, you can only collect money from powerful and powerful merchants."

Zaoli said fiercely: "You can't pay the tax of thirty taels of silver before sunset. Don't blame the brothers for turning their backs on me."

Yin Ziren also understood.

"It's also people who have been doing business for generations. They know how to make a living in other ways. If they are successful in business, they will probably end up on the streets, begging for a living. It's pitiful and deplorable."

A customer next to him continued: "Shopkeeper, he must be too angry and sad. Judging from his appearance, he should have been a farmer and worked as a tea shed, but he may have gone back to continue running the fields, or worked as a long-term worker in a small family.

Make a living."

"He is a serious patrol inspector and an official of the imperial court. He can still save his life despite being a commoner. He is from a local family. Even if he is beaten to death and thrown out of the Yangtze River, he will still make a few splashes."

"This... this..." The store owner was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Zaoli smiled hotly and said, "Who is he?"

Yin Ziren was stunned when he heard this, and a sentence flashed in his mind.

This is true only for collecting commercial taxes. Local governments also collect land and local taxes in the same way.

Wu Yingxuan could not help but look at the woman in green again and saw that I was handsome, elegant and comely.

"The following is responsible for the total tax amount, but there are not many tax-free shops."

"Remember, if you bring out eighty taels of Jiangzhou at sunset, you will destroy the tea shed."

"The rest are all special like the person next door, so they are a little bit symbolic."

"The tea in this store tastes worse than elsewhere, and the price is affordable, but I'm afraid it's still open or successful now."

"Later, it had been a long time since there was a tax inspector, and he was smart enough to stop the carriage of the Prince Consort Duwei's family and asked him to collect taxes like common people doing business. He was beaten by the steward Zhou Ye for several days.

Got the bed."

The woman in green clothes said: "Sir, Mr. Cao, a student from Yuanzhou, Jiangxi Province, came to Beijing to apply for a job as an editor. Today I am here to see the prosperity of Jinling."

Although the business of the tea stall next door is not as bad as mine, it is smaller in size and smaller in scale of operation.

"The total amount of taxes for the imperial court has to be increased. The lower levels are pressing them up, one level at a time. What can the upper level do?"
Chapter completed!
