Chapter 394 Are You So Afraid To See Me?

Tang Su took the account book and looked at it, shaking his hands in shock: "So much salt tax?"

According to the new law, the salt merchants had to pay taxes on the income from selling salt.

Tang Su absolutely agrees with this point.

For a country's fiscal revenue, salt tax is a very, very important part.

Chun Yuyue once told her that almost half of Daming's annual household income comes from the salt tax.

This also explains the reason why the North Korea has strict control over salt, and it will absolutely spare no effort to crack down on the sale and purchase of illegal salt.

Although Tang Su knew this a long time ago, it was the first time she really knew how much the salt tax was.

According to the account book, she can get about 12 taels of silver for selling a salt, but she needs to pay six taels of silver for the salt tax.

In other words, the tax is more than half.

Adding in other expenses, the management of the saltworks up and down, the cost of round-trip transportation, labor costs, rent, etc., the net profit is only three or four taels.

Looking at the ledger, Tang Su understood the psychology of those tax evaders for the first time in his life.

I have been busy for a long time, all of which is to make money for the court!
This time she cheated the Shen family and the Tan family thousands of taels of silver, but not much was left, and most of it had to be handed over to the government.

Zhang San put down a small box and said: "Miss, this is tax money, the amount is too much, I took all of it to Baolu Bank and exchanged it for bank notes."

Tang Su nodded, before recovering from the shock, he saw Li Si rushing over, clutching his stomach, "Miss, I, my stomach hurts!"

Tang Su was startled, and hurriedly closed the account book, "Did he eat something bad? Come on, Zhang San, take him to the doctor's office to have a look!"

"Then the tax money..." Zhang San hesitated, "Today is the last day, and you will have to pay the fine money if you are late."

"I'll send it there, you go quickly." Seeing that Li Si's face turned pale, Tang Su urged them to go to the hospital quickly.

Only then did Zhang San support Li Si and hurried away.

Tang Su walked around the room to make sure that the candles were all extinguished and the things were put in order. Then he held the ledger and box, locked the door, and walked straight to the county office diagonally opposite.

Zhang San and Li Si have lived in the shop since the shop's running water has increased, not only for the convenience of taking care of them, but also for the purpose of guarding the door.

This world is not so peaceful, and there is no surveillance or anything. Someone must guard the shop.

The sun had completely set, and the street lights were lit.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the smell of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. Walking in the cold wind, Tang Su's nose smells a strong smell of rice and meat.

She swallowed, and walked quickly to the gate of the county government office.

The gatekeepers all recognized Tang Su, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly said, "Miss Tang, do you need us to inform you?"

Tang Su hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'll just go to your county magistrate."

Taxes can be handed over to the county magistrate.

She had already asked about it.

One of the yamen servants greeted her into the yamen, and walked towards the office room of the county magistrate to the west, but the magistrate was not there, saying that he left early because of something at home.

The yamen servant said in embarrassment: "Either way, you should leave it to the magistrate. The magistrate is still in the study."

Tang Su didn't feel relieved to let the government servants hand over thousands of taels of silver.

He thought for a while: "Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Are you so afraid of seeing me that you would rather be fined than give me the tax money?" Chun Yuyue's voice sounded at the door.
