Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 1822: Subvert cognition, mysterious boy!

"The official is the county magistrate of Lantian County. Today, the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce held a fundraising meeting in Lantian County. This official represents the county government of Lantian County and the people of Lantian County. Welcome you all and thank you for your generosity!"

Unlike other merchants who wanted to raise money, He County directly took the donation card and walked to the donation box. He came to Lin Wenyuan's side. The latter understood, and handed the megaphone in his hand to He County. Ling stretched out his hand to take it, and then used the function of the loudspeaker to amplify the sound and said loudly to the people present:

"At the beginning of this year, Hou Ye established the Department of Commerce in Lantian County. The purpose of the Department of Commerce is to create a good business environment for businessmen. Although the tax collection rate has been increased, the status of businessmen has also improved. , Merchants, farmers, and craftsmen are all classified as civilians, and the government treats them equally, and the children of merchants can also go to school!

In this way, businessmen can do business with peace of mind in Lantian County without being disturbed by other things! In this short period of less than a year, Lantian County's commerce has been thriving, and the county government treasury has a lot of surplus so far! Earlier, Lord Hou had said to the official that the county government levied taxes on businessmen and people on weekdays, but all taxes collected must be taken from the people and used by the people.

Nowadays, the Northern Turks are watching my Datang. Although the county government of Lantian County is not as rich as all of you here, but I am willing to do my part for the court. Therefore, the official today draws 10,000 from the county government’s treasury. Always donate to the court, hoping that the court can defeat the Turks and completely calm the north! This is also the heart of the people of Lantian County to Datang and His Majesty! "

As a "landlord," He Xianling spoke beautiful words in front of these merchants from all over the world. But these words he said are not just scenes, but have deep meanings. That is Through this fundraising meeting, this "signboard" of Lantian County will be used to attract more businessmen to do business in Lantian County!

Sure enough, He Xianling's voice fell off, and there were bursts of cheers off the court and outside the inn.

"Hey! Lantian County's government office is so magnificent, this donation is ten thousand dollars!"

"Okay! A good one is taken from the people, and used for the people! Lord Hou said it well! The county magistrate did a good job!"

"Lantian County is really a big change now. There are more and more shops and more and more people!"

"This is all the credit of the Department of Commerce, Lord Hou!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"But how did I hear that the Department of Commerce has changed the business tax ratio from one out of thirty to one out of six? It has been raised five times!"

"It is indeed a five-fold increase! But the status of our businessmen has also improved! And if you are doing business in Lantian County, you don't have to worry about safety. There is no land ruffian daring to come to your door to make trouble for you. You can feel relieved! Come and go, earn a lot more every month than before!"

"That's not it? You know that there are obviously more merchants in Lantian County now than before! Everyone is not a fool. If there is no benefit, who would be willing to smash their heads to do business in Lantian County?"

"Yes, yes!"

…………

The businessmen’s discussions naturally fell in the ears of He Xianling, but he did not have the time to enjoy the praise at the moment. After he said this, he returned the loudspeaker to Lin Wenyuan because of the time of the fundraising meeting. It is very urgent. It is already very rare for Lin Wenyuan to give him this opportunity to speak alone, and now he has to hand in the donation card and go to the second floor to go through the handover procedures for the donation!

At this moment, Xiao Yu sat in the same place, and what the county magistrate He had just said had already set off a huge wave in his ancient Jing Wubo's heart!

"The purpose of the Department of Commerce is to create a good business environment for businessmen!"

"In Lantian County, merchants, farmers, and craftsmen are all classified as civilians, and the government treats them equally!"

"Take it from the people and use it for the people!"

Every decree in Lantian County will cause an uproar if it is placed in other counties, because every decree is a big rebellion to the traditional "old scholars"!

This is also Lantian County, Li Zexuan's fief, no one cares about this, because as long as Li Zexuan does not rebel in the fief, even if he does a little out of line in other things, Li Er will not take him too!

Since ancient times, those vassals and vassals who conquered the territories have been like this!

The Department of Commerce established in Lantian County was more or less heard by Xiao Yu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, but at that time he didn’t pay much attention to the Department of Commerce, thinking that it was just a playful act by Li Zexuan. The climate cannot be achieved, but now after hearing the county magistrate He has systematically explained the decree issued by the Department of Commerce and the governance philosophy it has upheld, combined with the indisputable fact that Lantian County’s commerce has begun to flourish, the shock in Xiao Yu’s heart and Suddenly, it is unspeakable!

It turns out that merchants can exert such a powerful force!

Think of him as the Shangshu of the Household Department, his main responsibility is to take charge of Datang's purse for Li Er, but the political achievements made by Lantian County's county government now make him, the veteran of the three dynasties, feel a little embarrassed!

Lantian County is considered to be a medium-sized county in the entire Datang, but for such a medium-sized county, its annual business tax revenue is far more than 10,000. The reason why it is said to be far beyond is because the Department of Commerce has not yet been established. In half a year, and now the magistrate He can directly donate 10,000 to the court, what does this mean? This shows that through a series of commercial tax reforms, Lantian County government has collected more than 10,000 commercial taxes in just half a year. In this way, does it mean that Lantian County has collected and paid more than ten thousand commercial taxes in one year? The total business tax must be more than 20,000 Guans?

You must know that this is only the first year of Lantian County's commercial tax reform. As Lantian County's reputation among merchants continues to spread, Lantian County's commerce is bound to become more prosperous. By then, how much this medium-sized county can collect in a year No one can predict business tax, but it will definitely be more than it is now, not less than it is now!

Imagine if all the states and counties of Datang could be as "powerful" as Lantian County, oh no, even if there is only one-fifth of the "powerful" of Lantian County, according to the fact that there are more than 1,500 counties in Datang. In the calculation, the tax collected by Datang in one year, only the business tax, will be as large as six million!

Six million pens!

Thinking of this figure, Xiao Yu felt a little breathless. If the Tang court could earn 6 million units of fiscal revenue each year, it would be impossible for an elite force like the Xuanjia Army to arm ten units. At that time, there was only one. The Turkic barbarians do not fight like "beating their sons"?

"Xiao Shangshu! Xiao Shangshu...!"

Just when Xiao Yu was "thinking about it" because of what the county magistrate He said, the small official beside him awakened him from the beautiful fantasy. After he recovered, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "What's the matter?" "

Dare to feel that this old man was disturbed by someone, "The Wonderful Dream of the Tang Dynasty" is still a little angry!

"Um...Xiao Shangshu, the county magistrate He just said goodbye to you. You didn't hear him. He asked the young man to tell you that there are official duties in the county office, so he should take a step first! In addition, boss Lin is about to read to the treasurer Mo. Name..."

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression unpleasant, the little official's heart jumped, and he didn't know where he had offended him, but he still said boldly and cautiously.

By the way, Xiao Yu had been in a daze for a long time, and he didn't even hear the county magistrate He who returned to his seat to say hello to him. At this moment, the entire fundraising meeting had come to an end.

"Oh! Then you are ready to prepare, and go up for the treasurer Mo in a while!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu settled down, and then said to the little official.

"Here~!"

The little official responded, then calmly sat down and waited silently.

"Qingmozhai is not clear, donate five hundred guan~!"

It didn't take long for Lin Wenyuan to yell from above, and the small official beside Xiao Yu immediately got up and walked forward.

At this time, someone underneath couldn't help whispering.

"Qingmozhai? If I don't remember badly, isn't this Qingmozhai shop in Xiao Ge's hometown?"

"Yes, yes! It belongs to Xiao Shangshu's family! I heard that Xiao Shangshu likes calligraphy and painting on weekdays~www.ltnovel.com~ so I opened such a shop!"

"Hey~! So Xiao Shangshu has to donate today?"

As expected, the news of the merchant was the most eloquent. As soon as Lin Wenyuan's voice fell, some people guessed the master behind the scenes of Qingmozhai!

That's right, Xiao Yu is going to donate too today!

He just let the little official go out to withdraw money, and by the way gave the Qingmozhai store deed to the little official so that the latter can register the donation at the entrance of the inn in the name of Qingmozhai!

Although five hundred sticks are not many, it is what he expressed to Li Er! Regardless of him as a veteran of the three dynasties, he has always been an official and honest, and the wealth of his family is not comparable to the wealthy businessmen in the lobby of the hotel!

As for being guessed out of his identity, this Xiao Yu doesn't care at all. It is better to be guessed out. In his heart, no one will say that he is stingy, unfaithful to the monarch and patriotic, right?

Lin Wenyuan chanted two more names after finishing Qingmozhai. Finally, everyone on the list finished chanting. Lin Wenyuan pursed his dry lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Everyone, today’s This is the end of the fundraising conference..."

"Wait~!"

Lin Wenyuan was about to announce to everyone that the fundraising meeting was about to end, but before he could finish his words, two teenagers walked in from outside with two servants. One of the older teenagers said loudly: "Boss Lin Wait, we both have to donate money too!"

As the young man said, he waved the donation card in his hand. Everyone took a closer look and took a breath, and saw that the card had three characters "30,000 Kan" written on it!

A young man actually wanted to donate 30,000 guan to the court? What is the identity of this boy?
