Chapter 176 There are policies from above and countermeasures from below!

The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to 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 is 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 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 understood.

"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 reason, and reduce the tax that was undertaxed."

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 asks 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 it was not able to 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 already regulations, and this is by way of example, regardless of whether they are relatives of the emperor, ministers or low-ranking officials, or those whose family members are engaged in 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 in the sky 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 who owns 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 Yingying 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 the opportunity to survive a few bad days. 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 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 minister 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."

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

The silver is so moving.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "We, the common 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 higher authorities. 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, Lord 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?
