In the early morning of the next day, Tang Yue ordered Qionghua Pavilion to go to the streets and post notices to notify merchants who should pay taxes and let them prepare for the new tax law to be implemented next month.
Commercial tax is a tax added to the product. For every thirty spiritual stones sold, one has to pay one spiritual stone. In fact, it is not that much, but most merchants just think that they can avoid paying it, and no one thinks it is a lot of money.
"Father, I copied the paper I gave you. The types of goods that need to be changed to commercial tax are not involved in our family. What needs to be changed are valuable jewelry, clothes and high-level magic weapons. It is said that the cost of maintaining the safety of these stores is high, so it should be
Pay taxes and other goods are not included in the list, so it has nothing to do with our family."
Qian Ruoyun took the banknotes advertising the new tax from the street and brought them home to show to his father. In the past few days, his father and mother had been frowning, and the daughter was also very anxious.
Taking the paper in her hand, the head of the Qian family read the leaflet carefully, shook his head after a moment and said: "This paper says that this is the first batch of tax reform catalogues, indicating that it will be revised in the future, so our Qian family will have to hand it in sooner or later.
When the time comes, there will be no chance to resist the commercial tax."
"Then what should we do? Do we want to find the city lord?"
"The new tax law requires the consent of the city lord before it can be promulgated with a seal. Although I don't know why the city lord would agree to his daughter's mischief, he does no longer stand in the way of this."
"Then we can only pay this tax? Although it is only one tax per thirty, our Qian family has a large volume of shipments, so we have to pay a lot of money a year."
"In this case, we will reduce the supply of goods, use the excuse of keeping the money to pay taxes, and then join forces with other companies. By then, prices in Kunwu City will skyrocket, and the people will complain. We will go out and say that this is all caused by the new tax law in the city.
It remains to be seen whether she dares to push for tax changes again.
But Qian Ruoyun had doubts in her heart. She felt that Tang Yue could often make things unexpected and make things difficult for her, but she would instead make things difficult for her.
But he didn't expect that this male practitioner would take more than forty people with him. Most of the room was empty, and the class couldn't continue.
The master was angry. Although the matter was just like this, how could he bring it up in public? He said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't agree with the tuition fees being charged so high, you can quit Zixiao Academy and find another good place to study."
Even those stores that have to pay money say that the price increase is so excessive.
So at this moment, someone said: "If it is to prevent the big demon, I am willing to pay this money. The big demon is too scary. If one day it really comes to Kunwu City and we don't have a standing army, then our whole city may be destroyed."
.”
His subordinates didn't say much. Although he felt in his heart that many people really thought so, he didn't dare to say more.
The head of the Qian family patted the table and said, "Where are there so many space cracks? These people are really worrying for nothing. I think they are the envoys sent by the monks of Qionghua Pavilion."
Among them, the most scolded were the disciples who were studying in the academy. The academy was crazy. The tuition fees had doubled. They had no time to make money on weekdays, so they could barely make ends meet. After the tuition doubled, they occasionally took on tasks and earned
I have to pay the tuition fees with spiritual stones, and I can’t save up to buy weapons.
"Then Tang Yue didn't come forward?"
He was right. Zixiao Mansion had always wanted to raise tuition fees. This tax reform provided them with an excuse, so they raised it twice as much. A Jindan master replied to him: "It's because the city has to pay taxes."
, we want to recover the taxes to be paid in advance, so as not to be unable to pay them later. You also know how much our Young City Master of Qionghua Pavilion loves to collect taxes. As long as we pay them a little late, she will come to collect them."
They only deceived themselves with these methods. The disciple asked on the spot: "Thirty taxes are only one, why do we charge twice as much? Besides, we can collect taxes and raise prices at any time, so why do we have to collect them now?"
?I think Zixiao Mansion took the opportunity to increase prices randomly to squeeze students' hard-earned money."
"Some people went to protest at the gate of Qionghua Pavilion, but those who supported tax changes also went there. The two groups almost started fighting. Fortunately, the monks from Qionghua Pavilion kept order."
When dozens of disciples went out, they heard someone talking about the new tax law. These people were neither rich nor really proletarian. So the content of the talk was very limited. After a while, they talked about romantic affairs.
Already.
But she could not disobey her father's wishes, so she had no choice but to remain silent.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and rescued her. At first, the master didn't care.
"So what's the reaction from Qionghua Pavilion? There should be people who went to Qionghua Pavilion to oppose it, right?"
At this time, everyone was still very happy. After all, it was the merchants who were being scolded, and the victims were the rich children. They usually earn so much money, so sacrificing this is nothing.
In addition, they are still a relatively educated group, and they are very good at talking. Suddenly, the person who was scolded the most was actually Zixiao Mansion.
The student stepped forward and explained to them: "Business taxes must be used to raise a standing army. No one knows when the big monster will appear. If we don't pay this money, who will fight the big monster for us then?"
?Do you still want to stir up the bloody storm of the past century again?"
The next day, people discovered that the prices of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even private schools and flower houses had increased.
Many people in the class echoed him, and a few people stood behind the student. They knew that the tuition fee was not right, but they did not dare to question the teacher in public. At this time, someone spoke up for them, and of course they had to support it.
They were preparing for a rainy day. This tax must be added to Zixiao's mansion. A disciple stood up and said: "The new city order only said that one-third of the merchants dealing with valuables must pay the tax, not all merchants.
What is the reason for Zixiao Mansion to increase tuition fees now? ".
The people were arguing for eternity, but the first batch of merchants who were asked to pay the commercial tax responded normally. They had known for a long time that this tax would be collected, and there were many people who would trouble the city guards on weekdays. If they didn't pay, they felt a little uncomfortable.
"Since they have written this, they must be responsible for the content of the tax law, otherwise people will gradually move away from Kunwu City. I believe they all understand this."
"Okay, okay, I won't read this book today. Zixiao Mansion raises prices without authorization and extracts money from students, and I don't want to be threatened by it.
"The people were caught up in fierce quarrels. Of course some people felt that the imposition of commercial taxes was inappropriate and harmed their interests. But somehow, it was spread in the city that Qionghua Pavilion was going to change the commercial taxes to deal with the inexplicable appearance of large-scale enterprises.
Demons raise a standing army, so everyone should pay taxes more actively."
Another man coughed and said, "This money may not necessarily be used for a standing army."
Another person said: "I heard that all goods will be subject to commodity tax in the future. Isn't this terrible? We don't have much money to pay for tuition."
The head of the Qian family asked his men, the situation has been laid, how is the public opinion in the city?
Some people also want to bring the topic back, "The shopkeepers of those clothes, jewelry, and high-end magic tools choose to convert the tax into the products. It seems that in the future, those powerful disciples will be much more expensive to buy life-saving magic tools."
Kunwu City once suffered from the invasion of big demons. They entered the human world from the demon world through the cracks in space. Its terrifying strength and cruel methods at that time are still remembered by many people in the city to this day.
Pavilion Master Cao quickly sent his masters to explain to the students that he was increasing prices because everything would soon increase in price.
"No."
"The two groups of people just stood and cursed at each other. There was a line in the middle to separate the two sides to prevent accidents."
After a while, another person came in to report: "Master, the young master of Qionghua Pavilion brought out a large amount of basic materials and sold them at a low price at the entrance of Qionghua Pavilion, which is cheaper than our original price."
"How is that possible? Where did she get the goods?"
"I heard that they are from Xiandu."
There are some things today, one more chapter, I will make up for it tomorrow
