Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 284 Willow's Tax Arrears

Not to mention Liu Mu's clothes, but only the four attendants behind Liu Mu.

These four people got off their horses and stood aside, four of them wore large round cloaks that were only three inches above their feet, the kind that could envelop people.The material used is light and thin.

Then wear a double-breasted double-breasted stand-up collar, which is a material mixed with wool and linen.

I can't see what I'm wearing inside, but it must be a sweater made of woolen threads.

Then came the straight army breeches, the kind with a crotch.Then there are the leather boots, with iron palms nailed to the heels, making a tinkling sound when they step on the stone road.

Looking at Liu Mu's side again, there is a padded robe with silk on the outside and linen on the inside holding the piano, and the fringe is decorated with rabbit fur.

He wears a four-piece Han-style short-breasted Luo shirt and draped skirt, and red deerskin light-soled boots on his feet.

"Bastard, you really are a bastard." Li Yuan looked back at the clothes of the guards of the Forbidden Palace who followed him, and they were no better than the servants of a small county.

The captain of the Forbidden Army next to Li Yuan approached Li Yuan and said in a low voice: "Saint, the guards of the Forbidden Army at the Jinghe Wharf are also issued such clothes, but I don't know if it complies with the rules, so I am happy that no one dares to wear them."

Li Yuan hooked two fingers at Liu Mu.

Liu Mu quickly trotted over.

There is no need to shout when Liu Mu appears, let alone write on his face. Even if the people at Jinghe Wharf don’t know him, they know that this must be Mr. Liu from Sanyuan.

No matter the aristocrats, merchants, or ordinary people around, they all knew that the person sitting there was probably the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.Because in the area of ​​Jinghe Wharf, there are no elders who can use willows like this.

After Liu Mu came to Li Yuan, Li Yuan ordered: "Find a quiet place where you can see the market."

Such a place is easy to find. There are all kinds of high-end three-story buildings here, where you can eat, drink and have fun.

Except for the shops that are rented out, all the places to eat, drink and have fun are Liumu's self-operated businesses.

When Liu Mu accompanied Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty to find a teahouse and sit in Xiaobao on the third floor, Baoqin had already gone to check the income of the shop. Find out the income of the eating, drinking and playing shops here.

In the small box, Liu Mu took out a box of tea: "Sage, do you want to try this not-so-authentic Bailu tea?"

"Whatever you want." Li Yuan's tone was not very good.

Liu Mu was a little nervous, not knowing that he did not do well, which made the Emperor Tang unhappy.And today Peng Hai didn't follow him, so he had no choice but to find someone to inquire about it.

Liu Mu lowered his head to make tea, not daring to look at Li Yuan.

The tea in hand is good tea. Today's Autumn Bailu, Liu Mu has always liked autumn tea, which is soft and long-lasting.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Your way of drinking tea has won the admiration of the nobles in Chang'an City. Do you know why I came here?"

"Chen, I don't know." Liu Mu replied weakly.

Li Yuan waved his hand, and the guard beside him put a box beside the table and opened it.

It contained a box full of watch stamps.

"This..." Liu Muxin said, what are the meanings of bringing this watch in front of him, could it be related to him, or something embarrassing for the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Except for one part here that praises you, the rest are all scolding you."

"Why?" Liu Mu blurted out and asked.

Li Yuan picked up a few books and put them on the table: "Someone questioned, first of all, merchants in the Tang Dynasty have to pay three kinds of taxes. One is Guanjin, one is monopoly, and the other is market tax. All the goods here, these three taxes Not a penny of the tax was paid to the household department.”

"Chen, I didn't intend to evade taxes." Liu Muxin said, if there is a mistake, first correct your attitude.

Li Yuan patted those books lightly: "Then I got some reports that you collected taxes privately, but you didn't hand over any money to the household department."

Liu Mu rubbed his chin, wondering if there is such a thing?

It seems there is!
Seeing that the expression on Liu Mu's face changed a few times, Li Yuan asked, "What do you say?"

"I'm guilty, I forgot the above form and my father. The situation is like this. According to the rules at the border customs, sheep, wool, and goat milk enter the customs. I withhold [-]% of the tax. This is the customs duty. But it is not me who collects the tax, but the Cloud and Youzhou."

Li Yuan smiled coldly: "That's right, they detained them. But they didn't keep them privately, and they were all sent to Chang'an for you."

"Saints, I still have subsidies. For example, a cow official not only did not collect taxes, but also paid a stone of shelled corn, and a good horse paid one and a half stones. This is to encourage Shiwei and other tribes to send cattle and horses to our Tang Dynasty." Liu Mu hurried to himself Put gold on your face.

Li Yuan took out the top one: "This is the only one that compliments you."

"Shops in the Chenjing River Market, as long as merchants sell their goods here. As long as there are shops, they will be taxed at one-fifth of the market value, which is 25 cents of the usual market value. This tax minister..." Liu Mu said nothing It can be said that he withheld the money, but did not hand it over to Jingyang County.

But immediately, Liu Mu threw away the topic: "Father, you have to deal with the affairs of the world, and you have to manage more than tens of thousands of places like Jinghe Wharf. You definitely didn't come here for such a trivial matter."

"It's a small matter, okay. I admit that coming here has nothing to do with tax matters. I see that the end of the year is coming soon, so I came to ask you how much profit I can share. You have lived before, and I have a share of this property. "There was a smile on Li Yuan's face.

Seeing this smile, Liu Mu immediately began to rascal: "No silver, no coins."

"I'm going to flip the table." Li Yuan's words were even more rascal.

The imperial guards and the attendants here were too eye-catching, they quickly exited the box, and then checked whether there were people in the boxes on both sides.

"Father, 14 jins of steel. Datang's national pig iron production in the six years of Wude was only 700 million jins, and steel was less than 50 jins. Craftsmen are busy day and night, how can they withstand such high strength without hard food? Physical labor. It was so hard, and I sent an extra [-] catties of pig iron to Bingzhou. Most of it was shipped to Shengzhou."

"Well, this is very hard work." Li Yuan also understood a little bit, the blacksmiths worked very hard after the sledgehammer hit for several hours.

It is not uncommon in history to dare to bargain with the emperor.It existed in the Han Dynasty.

And in the Tang Dynasty more.

Liu Mu also saw Xiao Yu and other important officials talking to the emperor, so he deeply felt that he was hurt by the TV series of later generations.

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were very close to the people and very easy-going.

As long as you don't step on the red line, the reward of avoiding death will definitely work.But if you step on the red line, even if you avoid death ten times, you can't bear a knife in the neck.

"I won't go around in circles with you. Don't turn around and Changping and Erlang will say that I bullied you, a child who didn't reach the crown, so you tell me directly, how much will you give me?" Li Yuan poured a cup of tea for himself with a smile.
