Chapter 138

The shopkeeper couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "don't throw your clothes when they are worn out. Send them back and replace them with new ones. All right, get out of the way. Don't you see I'm busy here? Really Still lying to you? There are so many people here. If you cheat me, one of you will come and spit, and I will be drowned! Besides, everyone took it. What are you afraid of? "

The farmer thought so, but looking at the clothes in his hand was so good that he asked, "that Don't you go through it? "

The shopkeeper said, "whatever! But you can't take it away. In the end, you have to hand it in. It doesn't matter if it's broken, but you can't take it away. If you lose it, as long as someone gives a circumstantial evidence, it's OK. However, there are three pieces of clothes for each person, and you can't lose them unless you put them on the wrong way. "

"Ah? Three

The farmers were shocked.

"Yes, one is thick when it's cold, one is thin when it's hot, and one is worn when it's not working. By the way, there are your own numbers on the clothes. Remember them clearly, don't wear them wrong!"

The farmer left in a daze.

I still can't turn my head around.

I always feel insecure.

However, when I saw that other people were also carrying clothes, and there was a number on the clothes, I didn't know much about it, so I just managed to find this shape. In the future, I just need to find this shape.

A group of farmers busy to the evening, non-stop in shantytowns inside turn.

There is a leader with 20 people under him. On top of the leader, there is also a leader, called the chief leader. The chief leader is in charge of ten leaders. In a word, there are 200 people under him. On top of that, there are managers. Each manager is in charge of ten chief leaders. On top of that, there are those shopkeepers who help to send clothes. One shopkeeper is in charge of ten managers.

Some of the farmers couldn't figure it out. They drew pictures on the ground, and then said in surprise: "with one shopkeeper, there are 20000 people in charge! My God, how many people must that be? "

He turned his head and looked at the shantytown which was out of sight. He felt that he was involved in a big event!

At this time, many farmers see a team of people coming back in front of them.

They are obviously very tired, but everyone's face is with a smile, talking with each other, walking and laughing, until the edge of the shantytown, there are countless tables and pans, sharp eyed farmers look carefully, there is meat in the pot!

Everyone can share a small bowl, such as rice and noodles, which is even more important.

Looking at those people who have finished their work, they are really envious and swallow their saliva.

A leader came over, patted a farmer on the shoulder and said, "what? Envied? Don't envy me. I'll start working tomorrow. You're the same kind of food. However, the shantytowns have to move forward. Those guys are not going to die when they work! It's true. It's a ten day construction period, and they're planning out in three days! Otherwise I can have more time Really, now all the shopkeepers are shouting hard! After you get familiar with it, you'll start to build roads. You can't be lazy at that time. When you lose face, the big shopkeeper will lose face with you, and 20000 people will be looked down upon together! "

"I I'll work hard, boss. Don't worry! "

"Well, that's what you say. It's very reassuring."

The leader waved his hand and said to his twenty men, "all done, let's go! Let's go to dinner, keep our spirits up and start working tomorrow! "

Hot, some are not enough to describe the state of shantytowns in the north.

It's like a crazy and rigorous huge machine, moving forward along the road of Northern Xinjiang. Where it passes, it leaves a smooth and wide road!

This road, like to lead to the sky!

Straight, spacious, endless!

At the same time, the northern shantytowns need too much material, from building materials, to clothing, and even food. Suddenly, the whole city of Daliang becomes lively, and countless carriages come in and out all day long.

At first, his majesty extended the curfew for one hour for this purpose.

The result is no good. In the morning, the carriage outside the door can discharge ten li!

Your majesty finally clenched his teeth and directly lifted the curfew in the outer city!

But the city can not be too chaotic, only allowed to walk, but not allowed to trade. But even so, merchants in the city can go out to trade.

As a result, a "trade zone" was soon formed at the South Gate of Daliang city. Twelve hours a day, people were always trading there, all kinds of goods, all over the world.

Qi Wanshi reacted quickly and directly set up a trading tax area there, which was suggested by Mr. Cui. Qi Wanshi didn't know if Qin Murong was in it.

However, even if the tax was collected on the spot, those businessmen did not have any aversion. On the contrary, because of the tax collection, there was management, which improved some chaos in the market and was welcomed by all merchants.

In this way, the shantytowns in the north of Daliang city keep moving forward at an incredible speed, and even some people have joined in, which makes the scale of shantytowns bigger and bigger, and the whole is also longer and longer. It looks like a giant snake walking straight on the ground!In the south, it is the busiest market in the world. In the competition of businessmen, the transaction of teams has formed a unique rule.

And all this happened in only two months!

It feels like the whole state of Daliang has changed.

On this day, his majesty could not help asking about the north and south of Daliang city.

Qi Wanshi came out with a list. He checked it several times, and also asked shanong Qiu Changming with his eyes.

Qiu Changming sighed, but still nodded.

Qi Wanshi looked up at his majesty, and then said: "in these two years, we will supervise the North City and collect taxes on the South City, and we will get results It's huge. "

Your majesty asked curiously, "what is very huge?"

Qi Wanshi sighed and said: "the number is far beyond my imagination. I never thought that merchants could pay so much just by taking one hundred taxes..."

"How much? How can you catch your breath? However, it is said that Mr. Chong will be back in a few days with my 15000 red sleeve soldiers. Although they are captured, they are also heroes to Daliang! "

As soon as your majesty speaks, he goes far.

Then he realized it himself, coughed twice, and asked, "what's the matter with the huge thing I just said?"

Qi Wanshi clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice: "to your majesty, last year, the taxes of Daliang state increased by nearly 30% compared with the year before last. According to Viscount Qin, the three Chengdu cities are his credit. After verification, I found that Viscount Qin's words are true. The 30% taxes come from the chamber of Commerce and many businesses of the Qin family."

"Oh, I knew that for a long time."

That means you say something I don't know.

Qi Wanshi said: "even if the increase is 30%, the tax revenue for the whole year last year was more than 79.6 million yuan, 80 million taels of silver and 700000 taels of alloy."

"Well..."

His majesty said with relief: "it's 30% more, which really makes me relaxed. The imperial mausoleum behind has also been repaired, and the palace has also been repaired. Viscount Qin still has some credit."

He was obviously very happy.

Qi Wanshi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth again, and continued: "Your Majesty, do you know that only last year, viscount Qin was a personal expense

Your majesty said, "Viscount Qin has always been extravagant in spending. It is said that a gamble is to spend a thousand taels a year. There must be some."

He's still very relaxed.

Even if there's some jealousy.

As the king of a country, he didn't spend so much money in a year!

Thousand taels of gold, how to spend it?

But Qi Wanshi said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you are wrong."

"Oh? More or less. "

Qi Wanshi said: "he spent more, but his majesty said less."

"Well? One thousand Liang is not enough? How much did he spend altogether? "

Qi Wanshi said, "Jin, 1.3 million Liang More than enough. "

"What?"

His majesty suddenly rose from the throne and said in a loud voice, "what has he done? Eat gold? Even if you eat it, you can't finish it! "

Qi Wanshi said: "there are more than 800000 taels of money in circulation in Daliang. What he spends is silver and copper. Gold is just a convenient amount for accounting."

"This What did he do? "

Qi Wan said in a deep voice, "don't worry, your majesty. Please read on."

"Well..."

His majesty took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Then he sat down again, waved his hand and said, "tell me!"

Qi Wanshi said, "Your Majesty, do you know how much money Viscount Qin has transferred to build roads in the north this time?"

His majesty hastened to be more upright: "at this time, viscount Qin did not know that Jia Fugui was the master."

"Yes, your majesty, it was Wei Chen who made a mistake. It was Jia Fugui who did it. Does your majesty know how much money Jia Fugui has transferred?"

"Go ahead, I can't guess."

Your majesty has a fire in his heart, which is oppressive.

Qi Wanshi can see it and hear it better, but he doesn't care about it at this time.

"To your majesty, Jia Fugui has transferred most of the money from the chamber of Commerce of the Qin family. The total amount If it's worth the money 2.2 million taels! "

"What?"

His majesty, who had just sat down, stood up again, his eyes widened and said, "he's transferred The taxes of my whole Daliang for three years?! Where did he get so much money? "

Then he couldn't help asking, "he has so much money, why doesn't he pay taxes? Even if it's one in a hundred, it's A lot of them, too! "

Qi Wanshi said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, there is customs clearance tax for goods, but there is no tax for business."

"This Let him make so much money? This This guy

His Majesty was so angry that he murmured: "I saved a little money and increased his salary from six hundred stones to one thousand. As a result, he did well. I'm afraid that one thousand stones are not enough for him to spend an hour!"Qi Wanshi was more upright: "it's a moment to inform your majesty."

"What?"

"For the speed of his spending money, a thousand stones is almost the same as his bending."

His Majesty's eyes twitched. He almost couldn't help it. He directly raised the table and threw it down. He hit Qi Wanshi with peach blossom on his face!

But he held back, sighed and sat back in his seat.

This series of figures really surprised him!

"I often hear that in ancient times there were Confucian businessmen, who were as rich as the country. I always think that the words "rich can rival the country" are exaggerations. No matter how rich a person is, how can he be richer than the country? He lives in the country, the world's money and food are under the control of the country, how can he find another way to earn so much money and food? Therefore, I have always sneered at this statement. Until today, I understand that the ancients did not deceive me! There are indeed rich people in this world. "

After a moment's silence and digesting the news, your majesty said, "Qi Xiang, what are you talking about with me

Yes, even if Qin Murong is rich, especially rich, what can he do?

He is neither greedy nor cheating.

Sitting on the money that I can't spend all my life, but risking my life, now I spend more on road construction.

What is the road?

It's one of the foundations of a country!

What he has done is to benefit the country and the future!

This is a great thing. Where will your majesty stop it?

Qi Wanshi said: "I just want to let your majesty understand that there is a need to change the business tax. Weichen actually said that zijue Qin had asked someone to tell him about it, but Weichen didn't think so at that time. Although zijue Qin has a noble status, the core of it is still a businessman. A businessman wants the court to collect taxes from the businessman, which is noble in itself. However, at that time, I didn't realize the good intentions of zijue Qin. "

"It's the tax!"

His majesty cried out: "this is Viscount Qin. Rich people know how to spend money on the country. If other people have so much money, what will they do? Be afraid of It's a disaster, not a blessing

"Your majesty "Funan said:" they set up a micro Tax Bureau on the spot

"Transaction tax?" His majesty frowned and suddenly said with a smile, "is the message from Prince Qin to you or from old Cui?"

Qi Wanshi said with a wry smile: "you can't hide it from your majesty. With this strange word, it complements each other. He is the only one in the world. It's true that Mr. Cui personally came to the door to persuade him. "

"If so, how about the tax of Chengnan Shangfu?"

Qi Wanshi immediately said, "in just two months, it's growing day by day. Up to now, it's still rising. In total, the income in two months is as much as 100000 taels of alloy money!"

Maybe the numbers I heard before are too shocking.

So when you hear this figure which was originally startling, your majesty seems very calm.

Nodded and said, "Oh? Is there so much? In a short period of time, the Shangfu town in the south of the city has such a large scale, with one out of ten taxes Is it heavy? Do merchants complain? "

Qi Wanshi said: "I would like to inform your majesty that in the past two months, only three merchants have objected to one of the ten taxes. But without waiting for my minister to do anything, the chamber of Commerce of the Qin family sent the three merchants away from the south of the city and will not contact them any more in the future."

"Oh?" His majesty nodded his head and said, "although it's domineering, it's very effective."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "in this case, it's better to take one out of ten and go down to the whole territory. How about that?"

Your majesty is calm on the surface, but in fact his eyes are bright!

This is a matter of state. We should be calm in the face of it.

As for the previous excitement, it's about Qin Murong. Since it's about Qin Murong, it's a private matter. Since it's a private matter, you can be a little excited. Naturally, no one talks about it.

The difference between public affairs and private affairs often means many things.

Qi Wanshi sighed, looked left and right, and found that no one stood up. He couldn't help but feel bad in his heart. Sure enough, at the critical moment, these guys were unreliable.

That's the only way to say it.

He said in a loud voice: "to your majesty, this matter I'm afraid it's not right. "

"No way?"

"No, your majesty, it's not impossible, it's inappropriate."

"What do you mean?"

Asked his majesty, frowning.

Qi Wanshi said: "one out of ten, if the law goes down, the world will be equal. All parties will take this as a basis, but there are different merchants, different sizes and different types. "

"Oh? In detail, "he said

"Your Majesty, for example, there are some rice merchants who sell rice directly from the place of origin. Among them, there are caravans. The profit is quite small, but the quantity is quite huge. If one of the ten is chosen according to the transaction amount, either the merchants can't survive, or they can only raise the price of rice, and the price of rice will eventually be added to the people. However, if it is collected from the net profit, it can barely maintain, but it does not rule out the possibility of price increase. There are also merchants who sell directly in the city and adjust the price of grain according to the demand. If they take one out of ten, the price of rice will rise. No matter how much they take, the profits they earn will not decrease. In the end, the tax will still be added to the people. There is also a kind of businessman who mainly hoards and resells a large number of goods, whose profit can even be half of the total price, or even more! If you take one out of ten, it will be a little less. ""This So complicated? "

"Yes, one of the ways of business has not been paid attention to. Because of the relationship of viscount Qin, Wei Chen has just begun to pay attention to them recently. It turns out that there are intrigues, collusion between government and business, bullying and speculation meet the eye everywhere! It's shocking to see people, and the profit is even more difficult to estimate. As a result, the richest person in the world today is not the imperial court, and the imperial court can only take the third place. "

His majesty frowned and asked in a deep voice, "if this merchant is one of them, I believe it because of the relationship of viscount Qin, but second Which is it? "

"Officials."

"Officials? I pay all the official salaries. How could they be richer than the national treasury? "

Qi Wanshi sighed: "the merchants in the world, although the state does not collect taxes, but local officials can get dividends, which is between 30%."

Greedy?!

Qi Wanshi didn't say the word.

But the word came out of his Majesty's head.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "where did it happen? Do you have a clue? "

Qi Wanshi gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked at the officials, and finally said, "it's everywhere."

Bang!

His majesty slapped his hand on the table, raised his arm, pointed his finger at the ministers, then raised it again, and finally put it down.

So three times, but did not say a word.

Finally, he just waved his hand and sighed.

Qi Wanshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this happening in the world that the state warehouses are full of moths, and the beams are full of holes, like mountains and dams, and the branches are upright. I haven't found a suitable way for many years, so I can only delay it. Now, your majesty has two means to deal with this matter We'll take care of it. "

As soon as your majesty heard this, he immediately came to the spirit.

Sure enough!

Qi Wanshi, if there is no solution, will not say this in front of the ministers, make himself angry, and let him be isolated.

"Tell me."

Your majesty pretended to be quiet, but his ears almost stood up.

Qi Wanshi said: "there are two things about this matter. First, it was recommended by your majesty, viscount Qin, to carry out the supervision department in all prefectures and counties. Now it is quite large and ready, but it is new after all. They don't know what they should do and where their authority is, so it has little effect. Second, the business tax is imminent. In that case, why not combine the two things? "

"Oh? What's a merger? "

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the inspector general take charge of the taxes of merchants in this world? On the one hand, they can practice, on the other hand, only they can go deep into every place, and they can go directly to Tianting, which belongs to your majesty. Third, if all parties collect taxes, they will disrupt the collusion between the government and businessmen, and cut off their financial resources first. "

Your majesty thought about it carefully and found that it was a good way!

Even It's the only way he can do it now!

If only the government decrees are issued, then the people below will deceive the superiors and the superiors. The superiors' decrees are good. However, when they go down, they will be changed and even have the opposite effect.

But the supervision department is different.

Your majesty suddenly felt That's one of my hands. No, a thousand hands!

He is a lonely man who can only sit here every day. It seems that he really takes the world into his arms all at once!
