Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 1842: Lantian County was pitted!

"...The magistrate, the sacred decree rewards the businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday. In addition to public praise in the "Datang Daily", the merchants who donated money yesterday can receive the same amount of tax exemption this year! Yesterday! Among the merchants who donated money, more than half came from our Lantian County, and the total amount of money donated by these merchants was nearly 260,000~!

If Lantian County implements the tax collection according to the will of the Holy Spirit, wouldn't it be necessary to levy 260,000 tons of business tax less? The coffers of the county government were not well-stocked. Yesterday, they donated 10,000 yuan. After that, the county government will expand the city and help Yunshan to lay electric wires for the county. Now the decree of the sage, we will collect it from the county government in the future. The business tax will be reduced sharply, how can this be good~? "

In Lantian County's county government office, Meng County Cheng said to the magistrate He, sitting above him, with a notice in his hand.

In the hall, in addition to them, there are Zhang Zhubu and Wang Xianwei. It can be said that the officials in charge of Lantian County's county government are all here. As for Hu Dianshi and Sun Datou, they are both in charge of punishment and prison. Public security did not participate in this small-scale meeting within the county government.

The notice in Mengxiancheng's hand is naturally the commendation merchant's notice posted in Chang'an City and surrounding counties early this morning. All four of you here have read it. Mengxiancheng's words fell off, and the master book couldn't help it. Open the mouth:

"My magistrate, Meng County Cheng’s worries are not unreasonable! At the beginning, Lord Hou returned the financial power of Lantian County to the county office and explained that we would take the taxes collected from the people and use them for the people. Commerce in this city has just started to pick up. Seeing that the commercial tax collected is increasing month by month, the county government dared to start many large and small projects.

At the moment we have set up such a big stall and borrowed a lot of money from Yanhuang Bank. Moreover, the expansion of the city and the laying of electric wires will require a lot of money. If the tax decree is implemented according to the will of the Holy Spirit, the remaining five months of this year I'm afraid we can only collect one or two thousand business taxes, which is nothing short of a drop in the bucket!

As a result, the two projects to be promoted in the future will not only stop directly, but our county government owes some money to the Yanhuang Bank, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pay off! Therefore, the Xiaguan thought, otherwise our county would not implement the taxation decree according to the will of Shengshang, and still collect business tax according to the original policy~? "

It has to be said that the imperial decree of Li Er's award to the businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday has somewhat disrupted the development of Lantian County. If the tax reduction decree on the imperial decree is implemented, Lantian County will suffer a huge financial impact. Loss!

First of all, there are currently more than 600 merchants in Lantian County, but there were more than 300 participating in the fundraising meeting yesterday. In general, merchants who are willing to participate in the fundraising meeting have at least proved that their stores are on track and even profitable. Quite abundance, these merchants are the current major taxpayers in Lantian County;

The reason why the other three hundred merchants did not participate in the fundraising conference, except for some people who were born stingy, most of the merchants have just moved to Lantian County, and their shops have just established a foothold in Lantian County, in other words, they have not yet There is very little profit or profit, which leads to tight hands. These merchants are currently the objects of Lantian County's government that need to support, and currently they cannot contribute much tax to Lantian County.

If the tax is levied in accordance with the tax reduction decree of Li Er, it is really conceivable how miserable the financial situation of Lantian County in the next few months will be!

In addition, the commercial tax collection ratio in Lantian County is one from six, while the commercial tax collection ratio in other prefectures and counties in Datang is one from 30. This will cause a problem:

The two businessmen both participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday and both donated a thousand guan, but one of them was from Lantian County, and the other was from another county. According to Li Er’s will, the two of them will have the rest this year. Over time, you will get a thousand consistent tax-free quotas. This seems to be no problem, but if you combine the different commercial tax collection ratios in Lantian County and outside Lantian County, it will be too problematic!

According to the commercial tax levy ratio of 30 for most counties and counties of Datang, the merchant from outside the county who donated 1,000 guan, as long as the total profit of doing business in the remaining five months of this year does not exceed 30,000 guan, he does not need to pay The imperial court pays extra business tax! In other words, only when his five-month total profit reaches 30,000 guan, can he use up the one-thousand guan tax exemption he got because of the fundraising meeting!

But in fact, there are very few merchants in the entire Datang who can make a profit of 30,000 guan in five months. That is to say, the businessman from outside the county who donated 1,000 guan has received a 1,000 guan tax exemption, but the fact is He can't use up this quota at all, because his five-month profit is likely to be only 10,000 or less!

Calculated in this way, the actual loss of the royal court on the merchant’s business tax was only about one-thirtieth of 10,000 guan, which was almost 300 guan or less!

But the Lantian County businessman who also donated 1,000 tans is different. According to Lantian County’s commercial tax levy ratio of six out of one, the total profit of his business in the next five months of this year will only reach 6,000 tans. It will be able to use up all of the 1,000 tax-free allowances! At this time, the actual business tax that the Lantian county government lost to this businessman was actually a thousand consistent, and no discount was taken!

Therefore, of the 428,500 donations raised by the fundraising conference yesterday, even if the amount donated by the merchants in Lantian County and the merchants in other counties each accounted for, the remaining five in Lantian County this year The business tax lost in a month is far greater than the business tax lost by the court!

Not to mention that of the donations made yesterday, nearly 60% of Lantian County businessmen donated! Moreover, the imperial court levied commercial taxes from more than three hundred states and counties in Datang. Even if more than three hundred merchants were not paying taxes this year, it would be insignificant under the huge base! But for the county government of Lantian County, it is different. The reduction of more than 300 merchants to pay taxes means that the next business tax collected by the county government will be reduced by more than half!

So no matter from which point of view, the influence of Li Er's imperial decree on the county government of Lantian County is much greater than that of the imperial court, and it directly smashed Lantian County!

In the hall, the last sentence of Zhang Zhu’s book made the eyes of all four of you flashed strangely. Before Li Zexuan took over Lantian County, they were in charge of Lantian County, and they were under the supervision of various administrative agencies of the imperial court. No one of them dared not listen to or obey any administrative order or instruction of the second. They were all executed unconditionally, because at that time they received the royal salary and the imperial order official, but now...

"Sir, Master Zhang's proposal is not a big deal~!"

Seeing that no one in the house was continuing to speak, Lieutenant Wang couldn’t help but open his mouth and said: “Now Lantian County is the fief of Lord Hou. The power of taxation. Since Hou Ye took over Lantian, the taxes collected by Lantian County not only need not be handed over to the court, but even the proportion of taxes can be determined by Hou Ye!

Today, this sacred decree of the sage has too much influence on Lantian County. I can fully exercise Lantian County’s right to tax independently and not implement this tax exemption policy on the sacred decree! "

After Wang Xianwei said, the three people in the hall all cast their gazes on He County Order.

Li Zexuan is not in Lantian County now, and the magistrate He is the nominal chief executive of Lantian County. In the end, the magistrate He has to make the decision!

In fact, the county magistrate He was also weighing in his mind at this time. He didn’t even know what Meng Xiancheng, Zhang Zhubu, and Wang Xianwei said. It is undeniable that Li Er’s decree of commendation is for Lantian County’s "The harm" is huge, and Lantian County can also not execute it, but...

"What everyone said is justified. According to the Law of the Tang Dynasty, Lantian County does not need to exempt businessmen in the county from tax according to the imperial edict, but have you ever thought that if the county government really does this, let's Lantian? Businessmen in the county, especially those who donated money at yesterday's fundraising meeting, how do they feel?

They responded to the call of the county government and the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, went to participate in the fundraising meeting, and contributed their part to the Tang Dynasty and the court. Now the court wants to reward the businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting, but they only Because they are merchants in Lantian County, they will not receive corresponding rewards. Do you think they will feel chilly? "

After considering it for a long time, the county magistrate He finally spoke.

His words caused the three people in the hall to fall into silence.

Objectively speaking, Meng County Cheng, Zhang Zhubu and Wang Xianwei are considering Lantian County's current interests. It is true that they made such a proposal, but in the eyes of County Madam He, they are a bit short-sighted!

Seeing that Mengxian Cheng and others were contemplative, He County took a deep breath, and then said: "At the beginning, Hou Ye ordered the county government to set up the Department of Commerce, and he was determined to eliminate the long-suffering commercial malpractices of the Tang Dynasty. Lantian County has created a good business environment for merchants all over the world, so as to vigorously develop Lantian County's commerce, so that the county government can collect more business taxes for people's livelihood construction!

After months of hard work, the business environment in Lantian County has improved greatly. There are more and more merchants in the city, and businesses are also thriving. Do you want to let this hard-won situation go to waste? We must know that most of the city's merchants now recognize the county government very much. Once this person's heart is cold and dissipated, it is not easy to get together again! "

As the person with the highest official position in the county, and also experienced a lot of experience under Li Zexuan, the vision of He County No. 1 is undoubtedly more long-term. What Meng County Cheng sees are the current interests of Lantian County, and He County is worried. Yes, will the good situation they have painstakingly created be completely vanished because of a wrong decision!

"What the county magistrate said is extremely true, but if we implement tax exemption for those merchants in accordance with the imperial edict, how should we solve the current financial dilemma in Lantian County~?"

After a long silence, Master Zhang asked with his hands.

This is also the issue that Mengxian Cheng and Wang Xianwei are most concerned about right now.

The county magistrate He squeezed his beard under his jaw and said: "The county government has huge difficulties right now. This is a fact and it needs to be solved urgently. It is necessary to create a good business environment in Lantian County, and the county government needs to stick to it. Bottom line. No matter what, this official will not agree to any decision that might undermine the current good situation in Lantian County, and this official believes that Hou Ye will not agree!

As for how to solve the difficulties faced by the county government after tax exemption, since the official and you have no good solutions, you can only ask Ji Yu Hou! This official will find a way to transmit this matter and our thoughts to Lord Hou, it all depends on how Lord Hou makes a decision~! "

Before Li Zexuan went to the Xuanjia Army to take up his post, he had confessed to the county magistrate that if he encountered something uncertain, he could pass the news to the army through the telegraph machine of the Academy or the Hou Mansion.

The incident that the county government has encountered now really embarrassed the county magistrate He and others, and Li Zexuan can only make up his mind for the current plan~!

"Okay! Then tell Master Yu about this, let Master Hou decide~!"

Meng Xiancheng nodded and agreed.

"Master Hou has always been resourceful and wealthy, and the things that are currently dilemma for us will surely be solved in the hands of Master Hou~!"

"Yes~!"

Zhang Zhubu and Wang Xianwei both nodded in agreement.

A controversy was finally resolved temporarily. After all, Li Zexuan is the owner of Lantian County~www.ltnovel.com~ is also the backbone of these people!

Taiyuan Post House.

"Master, the medicine is ready~!"

Three quarters later, the little medicine boy walked in from the door with a bowl of steaming medicinal soup on a tray. Of course, it was Dugu Flying Eagle who had been following him who opened the door for him!

In order to save the dying Dugu Xin, Dugu Feiying also worked hard, and directly became the minor followers of Gongsun Liang and Yaotong Xiaobao, so as not to miss the best time to cure Dugu Xin.

"Okay! Come and feed the general's uniform~!"

Gongsunliang, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, opened his eyes, stood up, and said.

"Yes! Master~!"

Yaotong nodded in response, and then he came to the bed with the medicine bowl.

Tie Dan quickly stepped forward with great eyesight and lifted Dugu Xin from the bed so that the little medicine boy could feed the medicine. Dugu Feiying also wanted to come forward to help when he saw it, but Gongsun Liang stopped and said, "There are two of them. It is enough for people to feed medicine! When the decoction works, the two poisons in the patient's body will fight each other, and the patient will be very painful, and may subconsciously make some overreactions. You can help the old man hold down your brother, and the old man will give the injection! "

"...Good~!"

When Gongsunliang explained the general process of treating Duguxin to everyone, Dugu Feiying was taking the medicine boy to Huichuntang to grab the medicine, so he didn't understand why Duguxin would be very painful when the decoction worked. But Dugu Feiying knew that the time was urgent, so he didn't ask carefully, and directly suppressed the doubts in his heart. He walked quickly to the side of Duguxin according to Gongsunliang's words, and pinched the two of Duguxin with his hands. Arm.
