There are many kinds of distress, the most common one is the more entangled kind, but in addition to this, there are also painful and even happy distress.
Compared with the small trouble of the Jinyiwei family not being able to find Qian Wubing, Luan Yuping's trouble can be regarded as the trouble of happiness. However, apart from happiness, he was slightly uneasy. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him.
Staring at myself.
He didn't know whether Miss Sun had calmed down, but he was undoubtedly happy to be able to meet Miss Sun at the Sihai Guild Hall and talk things over without Miss Sun catching him and chasing him down. But then,
Then the other party made a small request, which was the source of his distress. If he didn't agree to it, he would have no room for change.
The words came from Miss Sun's mouth, but Luan Yuping knew that this was definitely not Miss Sun's intention. Store tax was business tax. It was such a big issue. How could a small promotion official like him be able to push it forward?
Come. Ever since Emperor Taizu Gao set the commercial tax at thirty tax per tax, merchants have been encouraged. Today, this commercial tax has existed in name only. Although the laws of the Ming Dynasty are written clearly and clearly, where can it go?
If you pay voluntarily, who would be so bold as to risk the world's disapproval to collect it?
This must be the intention of the prince, and he used this as an excuse to get some exposure in Nanjing's official circles. Luan Yuping judged that he did not think he could handle this matter. This prince wanted to make money and learn from
That Eunuch Liu Jin implemented the new law and took action rashly, only to encounter the backlash of countless people. So, as a local faction, it is undoubtedly the best for him to serve as the pawn of the Eunuch Wang. Moreover, this time he has the leverage to fall into the hands of the Eunuch Wang.
If the father-in-law doesn't obey, and the prince takes care of himself, there will definitely be no one to speak to him. Well, that must be the case.
"The market stall tax is collected to replenish the national treasury. Although Qian is not specialized in this, but after dealing with these businessmen these days, he suddenly discovered that the tax law set by Emperor Taizu has actually been changed to this day.
No one abides by it, and some businessmen are even ashamed to pay this tax. If this continues, this ancestral law will no longer be needed!"
Looking at the impassioned Jin Yiwei in front of him, Luan Yuping smiled bitterly, "You're just a carrot and don't worry about it, it's just that the tax law is broken.
We have officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Taxation Bureau to worry about it. If they are not in their positions and do not run their own affairs, how can it be the turn of a guard like you to worry about the country and the people?
"Qian Baihu, this matter has too much to do, and Luan is just a small promotion official. I will try my best to fulfill Miss Sun's trust, but to what extent and what effect will it have, then Luan can
I really can’t guarantee it!”
"It doesn't matter, just do it. I heard that during the reign of Taizu, there were too many households in Tianfu City, and there was no space for merchants to store goods. Merchants all stored goods in ship warehouses or outside the city. This was not convenient for merchants to trade, but also
It was easy to be threatened by the Ya people, so the imperial court built a house called a collapse house outside the city along the river to store merchant goods. All merchants who came to Nanjing would store their goods here. During transactions, only buyers and sellers were allowed to enter the collapse house, and the trade was prohibited.
Traveling in and out. Passengers and goods stored in collapsed houses are charged at a rate of 30 cents, and must pay two cents to the official, which is the collapsed house tax. Nowadays, it seems that I have never heard of anyone paying this tax!"
Qian Wubing looked at Luan Yuping and asked.
Dare to use this idea, Qian Wubing still put in a lot of effort. At least, he did not stay in the Sihai Guild Hall these days in vain. He also found out these things that had been so long ago that the merchants themselves had almost forgotten them.
"Now that the collapsed houses are gone, how can anyone still pay taxes!" Luan Yuping shook his head, "This is where the store tax mentioned by Qian Baihu comes from? Is it because he wants to imitate the collapsed houses?"
Qian Wubing pointed to the lively scene downstairs and replied with a smile: "Although the Sihai Guild Hall has just opened, how does Master Luan think this weather compares to the collapse of the house that day?"
"That being said, but..."
"It's not that much, but Lord Luan, just do your best. As for the rest, there's no need for you to worry. I heard that Lord Luan has a lot of free time as an official. Don't you want Lord Luan to enjoy the same things as Lord Magistrate?"
How do you feel about being so busy with official duties every day and having so much power?"
Luan Yuping was speechless, but looking like that, he was also moved.
"So, Mr. Luan, just go ahead and do it. If you encounter something difficult to do, just report it directly to the superiors. If there are still those who don't know how to share the imperial court's worries but instead fight against the imperial court, someone will naturally deal with them!"
At this point, there was a hint of murderous intent. Luan Yuping nodded and agreed. Since there is no way out, it doesn't matter if he goes all the way to the dark side. Although the person who said this to him is just a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu
and a delicate woman, but the murderous intent behind these words was definitely not something that these two people could express.
It was still the root of that matter! He sighed inwardly, but he was a little frightened by the prince's methods.
If the store tax is levied on ordinary people, they will just collect it. Even if it is a forced levy, it is just the same thing. However, in Nanjing, there are so many ordinary people, and the nobles in this city
, and there are several companies that do not have their own businesses or shops. It would be a good thing if these noble families are not beaten out. Do you still want money?
But if you don't do it, a big hat will be slapped on you. This is the ancestral law. If you dare to violate it, people will take advantage of the legal principles. If you do something a little bit out of line, no one will criticize it. Of course, ordinary people will not
If you hold the truth, you don’t have the ability to rectify these nobles. But what if the one who holds the truth is the one who has the ability?
Among the nobles in Nanjing City, who are the most important? Of course, they are Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong. Moreover, you don’t have to think about it. The shop business of these two families in Nanjing City is definitely not small.
Can these two families endure it? The other nobles must have been watching the movement. If the money from these two families cannot be collected, then there is no need to think about other people's money.
.
What a calculation, what a trick!
Luan Yuping returned to his home and sorted it out carefully. Even if he knew the other party's intentions, he found that he could not do anything in this matter except follow what the other party did. Even if he took the information he got
, go find the young prince who is full of ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country. I am afraid that the young prince will also sneer at him. Luan Yuping even doubts whether the young prince knows what commercial tax is.
Just do what you should do! Luan Yuping sighed, faced the white paper spread out in front of him, and wrote down - "Please open the shop to stall the door tax, and the door tax will be discounted."
