Chapter 127 Trojan Horse! Fire!
As Gong Ao and a group of Guo clan members showed the Shang letter, the face of the guard changed suddenly.
For them, 960 kilograms of gold have been damaged, but gritting their teeth may still support it, but now Guo’s profit is 40% better.
The guard suddenly turned red with anger and scolded in his heart, "It's a thief of merchants! If I had known this, it would be better to force the siege directly!"
Seeing the face of the guard, Gong Ao frowned, and the members of the Guo clan couldn't help but become alert.
Even the Zhao soldiers behind him looked ugly.
The defender was furious and said, "In the time of national crisis, you will make personal gain. You merchants abandoned Zhao territory and ignored it. For 40% of the profits, you should be bullied by the general."
Gong Ao said: "The general is such a big hat. We are doing business and complying with the laws. What is called making personal gain? Four percent of the profit, one of which is the state's tax revenue. We trade according to the system and pay tax according to the rules. You say that we are making personal gain, where does the private gain come from? Could it be that you mean that Guo's master is seeking personal gain? Or is it that my Guo family spends 800 kilograms of gold to give you for free?"
The guard suddenly couldn't speak and could only glar at Gong Ao.
Gong Ao saw it and was not afraid, saying, "Does the general want to force me to recruit my Guo family's goods? General, you asked yourself to use military pay to buy our goods. Do you want us and merchants to not pursue profits? According to your ideas, what city do you still guard?"
"General, if you want to repent and break your word and become fat, I have nothing to say, but I can guarantee that by saying that the words of Guo’s history for personal gain will make you and the clan behind you pay a huge price. Moreover, you and the general have already had the name of ungratefulness. If you continue to do unrighteous things, how can you have your foothold in this and the city? I hope the general will act and think twice."
Gong Ao's words blocked the retreat of the guards.
Obviously, if you dare to break your promise and become fat, I will spread your actions to the ears of the people of the whole city. Who would believe that an unrighteous army will protect them?
Originally, if it were Jinyang and other cities in Zhao State, Gong Ao would not provoke him, but this is Que Yu. Once Gong Ao really did this, the people's turmoil that they had finally calmed down in the past few days would be in vain.
But does the general dare to attack Guo?
Guo Kai has a hundred ways to kill you, and the clan behind you, will be implicated.
The guard general wished to kill Gong Ao with one sword, but he couldn't. He said in a restrained manner: "You dare to threaten me... I was the general who said he would break his promise and be fat! 30% and 30% profit. According to the legal system of Zhao, this is the trade that is in my absence. I will use military supplies to be tax-free, and you will have 30% profit and you will have no loss."
The guard means that I will make you profit by 30% but you will not pay taxes. The materials used will be reported as military supplies.
Gong Ao smiled and said, "There are still laws and treaties between countries to sign alliances, so my merchants can do so. The general said it was unfounded. If you repent, what certificate would I have?"
Gong Ao's words made Guo nod.
Because what if this batch of goods is handed over to the defenders in the city and the defenders repent and refuse to admit it? Even if Guo Kai is on it, it is unreasonable to say it.
"What do you want?"
Gong Ao said: "It's very simple. Since this batch of goods is used as military supplies, you must report to the land tax officer to fill out the tax book. With the tax book, I will not be afraid of you losing or regretting it."
The guard widened his eyes and said fiercely: "Businessman, he is smart!"
What does Gong Ao mean? If this batch of goods is to be used as military supplies, they have to go to the land tax officer. After entering the land tax officer to register and register, they will have a certificate.
The certificate will state the amount of military pay and how much materials you purchased. After everything is finished, the tax officials will put the goods into the warehouse, then make a booking, and finally transfer it to the army to become a supply.
Moreover, this tax book will be kept in the Tianmen Mansion Order, which is where Guo Kai, and the Que and the city book are kept here. Another proof is that it is in the hands of Guo. If you do this, no one will be able to lose it. Guo is not afraid of the defenders repent.
If you dare not give it to me, I will take the tax book to Handan and leave it to Guo Kai. Guo Kai is the boss of the Tian Ministry, so I am too lazy to leave it?
Gong Ao continued: "If the general agrees, I will order someone to deliver this batch of goods to the tax warehouse. After the tax book is completed, the general will order people to withdraw it from the tax warehouse. The links here cannot be reduced. Please forgive me. After all, the general has no limits on his words, and I do not believe you, General."
What does the so-called irreducible link mean? That is, I promise to sell it to you, but I will follow the legal system. After entering the tax warehouse, it is a matter between your army and the tax warehouse.
Otherwise, in order to avoid trouble, you say that I have bought it anyway, and ask you to drag the goods directly to the military camp and then ask us to go to the tax warehouse to register, so that there will be mistakes in the middle and there will be no such trust relationship between us.
As for why I don’t collect gold, because I can’t leave the city.
The guard general said: "Since I agree, I will follow the rules. Once an hour, I will give you at most an hour. After an hour, I will lead people to collect the baggage."
After the guards left, forty trucks of cotton and linen goods were carried with the cooperation of hundreds of people, and they were pushed to the tax warehouse in the city.
During the Warring States Period, most tax warehouses stored food, and the people usually paid grain taxes.
Of course, there are also cloth coins, knife coins, round coins and ant nose coins. These coins are mainly targeted at the aristocratic races, and coins do not take up any space.
Therefore, the main storage of the tax warehouse is still grain. During the Warring States Period, the grain will be paid to the king's treasury, and there are also local tax warehouses. These are separated, with large warehouses standing in the southeast corner of the Que and.
Gong Ao and others went to the treasury tax warehouse.
Soon, they met the Tian Tax Officer, and someone from Ran Jin probably had informed the Tian Tax Officer about the booking.
So, as soon as Gong Ao and others arrived, the tax officer had been waiting for some time.
When he saw Gong Ao and others, his face was quite enthusiastic.
Who is the immediate boss of the Tianshiguan? Guo Kai, and who is the clan in front of him? The Guo tribe, even if he looks down on the merchants, the caravan in front of him cannot be offended. Moreover, from a certain level, the Tianshiguan of Que and the Tianshiguan were standing on Gong Ao's side.
Official Tian Shu said: "Mr. Gong, the book has been made, so I will wait for both parties to sign and print it."
Gong Ao was also very surprised by the speed of Tian Tax Officer, but he quickly understood.
After both parties sign and print, they will be kept, and one copy will be kept in Guo Kai's hands.
Gong Ao said: "The tax envoy is intent."
Official Tian Taxun smiled and lowered his voice and said, "I will understand the whole story. Please rest assured. Mr. Gong. I will definitely make an appointment with you."
Gong Ao smiled and said, "The tax envoy acted fairly and strictly. When I return to Handan, I will definitely file a tax envoy with Mr. Guo what he did today and what he helped Guo."
When the official Tian Taxun heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "This is a matter of a mission, and he acts according to the system. He dare not take it or not. Mr. Gong, please enter the warehouse quickly!"
As soon as Gong Ao heard it, "Don't you count the quantity of goods?"
As soon as the official Tian Taxun heard it, "It's already counted, it's the number in the book!"
For the tax officials in the field, counting is a waste of time. I am talking about how cunning merchants are, especially if they are put on the tax book, they cannot be short of money on the baggage. Moreover, if they really need to count it, it will not be enough for a day.
Of course, the most important reason for this is naturally because of Guo Kai!
Soon, the supplies of the forty-eight trucks were pushed into the tax warehouse. As soon as Gong Ao entered, he looked at the tax warehouse and piled up bags of food that were two people high.
Soon, the Guo clan members walked out of the warehouse, and Okura was sealed by the guards.
It took only half an hour to go from the cart to the tax warehouse, and Gong Ao and them agreed that it was an hour. For the remaining half hour, Gong Ao and the tax envoy started chatting enthusiastically.
Gong Ao looked at the tax warehouse behind him and thought to himself: "The general has planned for so long, and finally he has lived up to his expectations."
...
In the tax warehouse, forty-eight huge carriages were piled with silk cotton and other goods. After about one stick of incense, suddenly, forty cars began to shake one after another. Even the goods piled up on the car seemed to be pushed by people. For a moment, the goods rolled onto the ground.
Soon, two or three figures emerged from each vehicle, with a total of nearly a hundred people.
Some of them quickly flipped out some things from the carriage, and then tinkered with a burst of fire, and then saw that each of them was shocked and ecstatic.
"We're in, this... this is Que Yu's granary!"
"I finally got in and the general's plan was completed."
"A great achievement!"
They looked around, all kinds of food, all kinds of food were paid by the people.
Gong Ao's plan had already begun to prepare when he entered the city, and even the retreat was ready. Why did they have to come to the treasury tax warehouse? Because Gong Ao's scout is here, there is a cave not far from here.
The cave was dug long ago, but the granary guards generally have thousands of people. They can get into the area of the tax warehouse from the cave, but they can't get into it. However, if you find a way to enter it, once you get through the cave, you can escape through the cave.
This is Su Jie's plan, the Teno Trojan horse!
...
At this time, the 30,000 Qin troops had sharp eyes, staring at the shadow of Zhao soldiers on the city tower. Their expressions were filled with fighting spirit and determination to win. As long as the king gave the order, they could sacrifice themselves to rush to the city and fearlessly live and die.
Wei Jing said: "General, our army's morale is a great opportunity to rush to the city!"
Wang Shi shook his head and said, "Although our army is prosperous, when we rush to the city, we will definitely have half of life and death, which is contrary to General Su's intention. Wait a little longer. General Su said that the city changes greatly, and our army has 20,000 people who are trapped in the formation, and there will be no life or death!"
Wei Jing sighed: "General Su is for the lives of my Great Qin soldiers. With General Su in the Great Qin Dynasty, why worry about not sweeping the world? How can the soldiers not love each other!"
Wang Yan looked at Wei Jing: "General Su said that he would kill all the Que and Zhao's army, and not leave any one."
...
Jinyang, the mansion where Su Jie temporarily lives!
There was only a dark candlelight in the room, and the lights swayed slowly, illuminating Su Jie's figure.
Su Jie stood in front of the table, holding a brush in his hand!
He looked at the brush and murmured, "I wonder if Meng Tian has made this thing work."
These days, Su Jie has nothing to do and made a horse's hair.
A finger of silk had already been placed in front of Su Jie.
Then, he held a pen and wrote it on silk, but the font he wrote was not small seal script.
"The fire in the valley above cannot burn all the rioters and thieves, and the autumn wind in the five zhang cannot blow the frost and cold sound."
These two sentences are about the fire attack of Wu Hou in Su Jie's memory.
Su Jie murmured: "Que and the mountain roads are surrounded by mountains and the east canyon and the wind flows westward. When the fire in the southeast is together, the wind can spread throughout the city."
