Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 337 Earned
Cui Xuan couldn't help but want to ask him to express his opinion, of course after the two parties left.

The state official asked Cui Xuan proudly how they handled it?

Cui Xuan just chuckled, and then asked doubts.

The scholar Da Zhou next to the state official explained a few words to him.

"Do as the Romans do, as a businessman, there is no one who does not understand this truth. Even a small business in a small village in Dazhou is changing at any time. As long as they want to trade, they will find a solution. This is the guiding spirit we have received.

To deal with commercial disputes, directly show them the worst situation, and then let them negotiate on their own. "

Cut the mess with a quick knife.

Cui Xuan was puzzled, "Are you really satisfied with this?"

The state official laughed sinisterly, "As long as the final result is not the worst, it's not all money."

Businessmen still don't understand this truth?

Cui Xuan hehe.

How cunning.

really play.

The Turkic routine is deep, and he wants to return to Luoyang.

The state official was so straightforward, Cui Xuan asked directly.

He asked, "How do you sell food here? Is the price fixed?"

The state official replied, "Well, there is still a ration. Each person can buy up to three rations more than the number of households. There is a quota every year."

That's good too, the census is exempted, and people will try their best to overreport the population.

Very high.

"The tax?"

The state official thought for a while, "Only income is taxed, such as income from mining work, income from opening a shop, let me think about what else."

"Don't worry." Cui Xuan was also very curious about this new tax.

There seems to be nothing else, the state official said, "There are only these two types, that is, the tax rates vary greatly. One to three for one hundred labor income, one for collective labor mining, etc., three for others, and one hundred for daily necessities shops. Five, high-end consumables get [-] out of [-], and other small categories have nothing to do with us, roughly [-] out of [-].”

"Doing business to collect taxes?" Cui Xuan was taken aback, "How could those businessmen take the initiative to declare."

The state official replied, "We don't care about the problems caused by confiscated goods. Sometimes we need to find the source of the goods, who is responsible, and there are some disputes. , all need to buy tax certificates, and the money they buy for the certificates is the tax they pay.

For example, what happened just now, if the transaction is completed and there is a problem with the fur, we will come to investigate whose problem. If the tax is not paid, the merchant will be kicked out if he makes trouble, and he will not be able to come here to do business in the future. "

"No household tax?" In Cui Xuan's impression, no matter which dynasty pays tax according to the population, it supplies the country.

"Don't everyone pay taxes poorly and force them to become fugitives? Anyway, now only those with household registration can participate in collective labor and distribute food. Many former black households have registered. If there is any trouble, it is easy to find someone." The state official explained. road.

"I wonder if I can ask about your tax situation?" Cui Xuan asked cautiously.

This matter is not the effort of the state officials, if it doesn't work, forget it.

"It's ten times as much as before." The state official chuckled, "Those taverns and teahouses paid a lot of money. I didn't know where the business was so good. In the future, if I don't become an official, I will open a small teahouse and brag to my acquaintances here every day. go."

Taverns and teahouses.

They are available in Luoyang and Chang'an, but I haven't seen how much they pay.

The state official smiled again, "I don't understand, this is protection money. They are big taxpayers. Whoever makes things difficult for them is making things difficult for our state capital. Now no one dares to make trouble anywhere. No matter who it is, as long as there is something Not paying for debts, getting drunk and making trouble, fighting with others, passing customs, starving for two days, and then being obedient.”

Cui Xuan asked again, "Then how do you know how much he earns in a day? He can report less and more."

"No, the teahouse also needs to buy a tax certificate. That certificate is very useful, and the locals will hold it, and the outsiders are trying to guide them to hold it in their hands." The state official continued to explain.

Great use?

"Could it be the tax that can be deducted from personal labor income?" Cui Xuan asked.

"That's right, young master is really smart. In fact, you don't have much money to work in. Everyone pays a few pennies a month. That's the thing. If you drink tea, you will keep a few for the workers. Also, If the tea is not clean, you can use this to claim."

That would be very useful.

Cui Xuan feels that this place is simply miraculous, how did these systems come about.

Merchants' income from doing business is indeed more comfortable than collecting annual taxes based on population.The poor pay less taxes and can even deduct them. The rich are a minority, and they have to listen to the state government.

Protection fee, hehe, it seems that these people came to buy certificates because someone deliberately caused trouble.

interesting.

Cui Xuan felt that going to see Zhang Yang this time would not be too boring.

When Cui Xuan sent the greeting card to the state capital, he explained the purpose of his visit, that he came to pay a visit to General Zhang, and this matter was naturally spread to the army.

What is he doing here?
When Zhang Yang saw the news, he was very curious.

It's a guest from afar, Zhang Yang is still ready to receive him, and his colleagues will give him a face.

Cui Xuan stayed in the state capital for a few days. People here live a very regular life every day. They get up at dawn to mine, go home to eat, and then continue to work. After work, they drink tea and listen to music. Home.

There is no need to hunt, and it is much easier for people.

Everyone under the tent looked happy and happy.

Compared with some cities in Dazhou, it is more relaxed.

I heard that there are occasional disputes when mining, but most of the time everyone is doing their own thing.

Why do people in this poor and cold place live happier than people in Chang'an, Luoyang?

Since ancient times, people's interpretation of the tax system is that in order for everyone to make progress, work hard, gain health and respect from others, and make the country more prosperous, everyone should do their part.

So it is also a population tax. As a person, no matter whether you have income or whether you can really work, you have to pay this money to the country because you are a part of the country.

This also makes women, children and the elderly an extremely vulnerable group. They are unable to pay taxes and can only depend on the head of the household, which can even be said to be a burden on the family.

Cui Xuan hadn't thought about the ins and outs of this before, because it existed since ancient times, and he had never seen a different system, and he didn't bother to look at the surrounding kingdoms that were not comparable to the Great Zhou.

Looking at it this time, it turns out that there is still such a way, instead of forcing everyone to make progress, each can choose how to live according to his needs.

Whether to take the initiative to make life better, or to be a salted fish that will not die of hunger.

Now, he also has the answer.

If these people read more books and were smarter, what would it look like.
