Chapter 1832 Subversion of cognition, mysterious boy!
"This 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 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. In Lantian County , 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 in Lantian County without any interference! 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 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 imperial court. Therefore, the official today draws 10,000 from the county government library. Always donate to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can defeat the Turks and completely calm the north! This is also the heart of the people of Lantian County to Tang and His Majesty! "
As a "landlord," it is understandable for He Xianling to speak beautiful words in front of these merchants who came from all over the world, but these words he said are not just scenes, but have deep meaning, 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 really 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 Hou Ye!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"But how did I hear that the Department of Commerce has changed the business tax ratio from one in 30 to one in six? It has been raised five times!"
"It's indeed increased by five times! But the status of our businessmen has also improved! And if you do business in Lantian County, you don't have to worry about safety issues. There is no land ruffian daring to come to your door to trouble you. It's tight! , I 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 didn’t 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 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 donation handover procedures!
At this moment, Xiao Yu sat in the same place, and the words of the county magistrate 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 other things out of line, Li Er will not take him too!
Since ancient times, those vassals and vassals who conquered 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 he has upheld, combined with the indisputable fact that Lantian County’s business 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!
I think that 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 the Lantian county government now make him, the veteran of the three dynasties, 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 been too large since its establishment. 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's 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 more than 10,000 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 be 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 in 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. To calculate, 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 number, Xiao Yu felt a little breathless. If the Tang court could earn 6 million units of fiscal revenue each year, it would not be a problem for elite troops like the Xuanjia Army to arm ten units. At that time, there was only a Turkic unit. Barbarians, isn't it like "beating a son"?
"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 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 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 greeted him when he returned to his seat. At this moment, the entire fundraising meeting had come to an end.
"Oh! Then you are ready to prepare, and go up for 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 shout from above, and the small official beside Xiao Yu immediately got up and walked forward.
At this time, someone underneath could not help whispering.
"Qingmozhai? If I remember correctly, 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, so he opened such a shop!"
"Hey~! So Xiao Shangshu has to donate today?"
As expected, the news of the merchant was the most informed. As soon as Lin Wenyuan's voice fell, some people guessed the master behind the Qingmozhai!
That's right, Xiao Yu has 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! Don't even think of him as a veteran of the three dynasties, but 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 inn!
As for being guessed of his identity~EbookFREE.me~ This Xiao Yu doesn't care at all. It is better to be guessed. He thought that no one would say that he is stingy, disloyal and patriotic, right?
Lin Wenyuan, after finishing the Qingmo Zhai, read two more names. Finally, everyone on the list finished reading. 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 the crowd that the fundraising meeting was coming to an 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 is carrying , We should also donate money!"
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?
