I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Guazhou City in January is still cold. However, in Guazhou City, the city has been renovated and is no longer the way it was bombed before, and Guazhou City has also recovered a bit of prosperity.

After Du Qi captured Guazhou City, in a short period of time, the soldiers under his command had swallowed all the Guazhou areas and captured the entire Guazhou territory. After Guazhou was brought under Du Qi’s rule, everything quickly adjusted. However, even though Du Qi took the Guazhou City, he did not continue to attack Great Tang Shazhou, Suzhou and other places quickly, but suspended his troops.

On the one hand, we need to continue to adjust Guazhou, on the other hand, we wait for news from India. The most important thing is that Li Jing’s family is still in Great Tang for the time being and has not been sent to Guazhou, so they need to wait.

On this day, the army in the barracks where Du Qi was fighting was fighting. He was working hard and still writing books.

Now Du Qi lives in the army.

After all, it is convenient in the military.

Although Du Qi is in Guazhou, except for writing books, he is actually not very busy. After all, there are not many government affairs. Even if there are government affairs, the most important government affairs are about the governance of Guazhou, and a small amount is related to the rear.

Today’s Guazhou Provincial Governor is Pei Changqing.

Directly transferred from Rouyuan County.

Although Pei Changqing is young, he has a good deal of government affairs, and Pei Changqing is also capable. If the Great Tang spies in Rouyuan County hadn’t found out everyone’s details, it would be impossible to destroy these people easily.

With Pei Changqing, Du Qi is more relaxed.

When Du Qi was busy, a soldier entered and reported: “His Majesty, there are many businessmen outside the camp asking for a meeting.”

Du Qi instructed: “Please come in.”

“Yes!”

The soldier got the order and immediately arranged.

In a short while, about 30 people joined the camp and saluted Du Qi. One by one, they were excited when they saw Du Qi. After all, they were all businessmen in Xia Country. It was an extremely rare opportunity to meet Du Qi.

Du Qi nodded in greeting and said: “You guys come to see me, what’s the matter?”

One of the slightly fat people stood up and once again said to Du Qi. A gift. He was in his early forties and his temples were white, but he was dressed quite luxuriously.

The middle age person bowed to Du Qi again, saying: “His Majesty, This Commoner is called Zhou Zhiyu.”

Du Qi nodded.

Wait for the rest of the week to continue.

Zhou Zhiyu continued: “Let’s come together to meet His Majesty this time. The matter is very simple. It is about paying taxes after doing business. Before that, Guazhou belonged to Great Tang, and Great Tang and Xia Country signed an agreement. I Xia Country’s businessmen do business in Guazhou City are exempt from taxes and will not be levied. But now, Guazhou has belonged to Xia Country. Under this circumstance, I and other Xia Country’s businessmen do business in Guazhou, do they still enjoy the exemption What about tax benefits?”

At this moment, everyone looked towards Du Qi.

There is expectation in my eyes.

For businessmen, tax exemption alone is not a small sum. The larger the business of the merchant, the more money they will save. And some small businessmen did not reduce taxes much. But for small businessmen, the business volume is not large, and although the tax reduction and exemption are not many, it has a great impact on small businessmen.

After Du Qi heard this, his expression was calm.

On the issue of taxation, Du Qi has actually discussed with Shangguan Yi and the others after taking Guazhou. It’s just that no decree was officially promulgated at that time, after all, the entire Guazhou area was not captured at that time.

Now it is just not long after the capture of Guazhou, and everything is still adjusting. didn’t expect Just adjusted it, a group of businessmen already came together to inquire.

Du Qi looked around everyone and said: “Guazhou belongs to Xia Country, so everything in Guazhou must be arranged in accordance with the laws of Xia Country. Merchants in Xia Country, who should pay taxes, must Pay taxes.”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all businessmen were disappointed, because there was no tax concession.

No reduction or exemption.

Even some businessmen have an idea in their hearts. Instead of this situation, it is better for Guazhou to continue to be in the hands of Great Tang, and they can get more benefits.

However, just think about it, because Xia Country impossible does not enter the army.

Regardless of the businessman’s thoughts, Du Qi continued: “In view of the fact that Guazhou has just returned, I have decided that within three months from now on, businessmen who originally did business in Guazhou will not pay taxes according to the previous rule. .3 months later, pay taxes normally, regardless of whether it is a businessman from Great Tang or a businessman from Xia Country, all are treated equally.”

“All Listens to your Majesty!”

More than a week When the businessman heard this, he smiled suddenly.

No matter what, there are still three months left, and taxes can be exempted for these three months.

Du Qi glanced at all the businessmen present. The reason why he negotiated with Shangguan Yi and the others to exempt the three-month tax was actually to stabilize these people. At the same time, it was also to buy time for Pei Changqing.

As long as Pei Changqing has a firm foothold in Guazhou, if these businessmen make trouble, they will take it directly.

Du Qi said: “Do you have anything else?”

Zhou Zhi took the initiative: “No more.”

The others also shook their heads.

They came to meet Du Qi just for business tax matters. Now that Du Qi has given an answer, he is willing to give another three months of tax-free time, everyone is relieved.

Du Qi continued: “Since you have nothing to say, let me talk about it now. In Xia Country, the status of merchants is quite relaxed. On the one hand, it is Xia Country. It’s not like Great Tang’s contempt for businessmen; on the other hand, Xia Country’s business has greatly helped the rise of Xia Country.”

“That’s why Xia Country’s businessmen now The status is not worse than that of scholars.”

“But I want to say one thing, that is, you are used to everything in Guazhou now, and you must not take it for granted. Three months later If you should pay taxes, you must pay taxes in accordance with the law.”

“If there is a violation of law or discipline, the law will not tolerate.”

Du Qi said: “I hope you can still look up Being a businessman can be dignified to do business righteously. It is not a businessman’s reputation that has been tarnished because of tax evasion and tax evasion. I don’t want this to happen.”

Zhou Zhiyu said: “His Majesty I will keep the instructive teachings in my heart. Please, His Majesty can rest assured that we are businessmen in Xia Country. Although we can’t open up the territory for Xia Country, we can do our best to do our own thing.”

The others spoke up.

Every face has an unshirkable look. Although they are businessmen, gentlemen love to make money in a proper way. They make money within the scope of legal theory, and there has never been any tax evasion.

The most important thing is that Du Qi said one of the most important things, that is, the position of merchants in Xia Country is quite detached. Because merchants have dedication to Xia Country, merchants have their current status. If because of one or two people, the status of the merchant is affected and the merchant is despised, then it is definitely not worth the loss.

Du Qi nodded and said: “Just wait until you understand. Okay, let’s go busy. Do things well, and do things steadily.”

Everyone agreed and left. Leave.

After these businessmen left, Du Qi directly notified Pei Changqing of the business exemption, and asked Pei Changqing to exempt him for another three months according to the current arrangement, and then start collecting taxes in three months.

The matter is notified, Du Qi continues to write the book.
