Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty 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. But among the merchants who donated money yesterday, more than half came from our Lantian County, and the total amount donated by these merchants was nearly 260,000~!

If Lantian County implements the tax collection according to the will of the Holy Spirit, will it not be necessary to collect 260,000 tons of business tax? 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 will be requisitioned by the county government. The business tax will be reduced sharply, how can this be good~? "

Lantian County Government Office Hall, Meng County Cheng, holding a notice in his hand, said worriedly to the magistrate He sitting above him.

In the hall, in addition to the two of them, there are Master Zhang and Lieutenant Wang. It can be said that the officials in charge of Lantian County are here. As for Hu Dianshi and Sun Catou, they are the supervisors. The prison and 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 have read it. Mengxiancheng's words are over. Can't help but speak:

"The magistrate, Meng County Cheng’s concerns 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, the commerce in this city has just picked up. Seeing that the commercial tax collected is increasing month by month, the county government dared to start many large and small projects.

Now that we have set up such a large stall, we have also borrowed a lot of money from Yanhuang Bank. Moreover, the expansion of the city and the laying of wires will require a lot of money. If the tax decree is implemented according to the will of the Holy Spirit, the rest of this year In five months, we may only be able to collect one or two thousand business taxes, which is nothing short of a drop in the bucket!

In this way, the two projects to be promoted will not only directly stop, but our county government owes the Yanhuang Bank some money, 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~? "

I have to say that the imperial decree of Li Er’s commendation 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 edict is implemented, Lantian County will be financially Will suffer a huge 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 very profitable, these merchants are the current big taxpayers in Lantian County;

The reason why more than 300 other merchants did not participate in the fundraising meeting, except for some people who were born stingy, most of the merchants just moved to Lantian County, and their shops have a firm foothold in Lantian County. In other words, There is no profit or very little profit, which leads to financial constraints. These merchants are currently the objects of Lantian County government's support, and currently they cannot contribute much tax to Lantian County.

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

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

The two businessmen both participated in the fund-raising meeting yesterday and both donated a thousand dollars, but one of them is from Lantian County and the other is from another county. According to Li Er’s will, both of them this year For the rest of the time, you will get a 1,000 consistent tax allowance. 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 states and counties of Datang, the merchant from outside the county who donated 1,000 guan, as long as the total profit of doing business for the remaining five months of this year does not exceed 30,000. There is no need to pay extra business tax to the court! In other words, only when his five-month total profit reaches 30,000 guan, can he use up the one-thousand tactics tax exemption he obtained 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 in fact he can't use up this quota at all, because his five-month profit is likely to be only 10,000 or less!

According to this calculation, the actual loss of the royal court on the merchant’s business tax was only about one-thirtieth of the ten thousand guan, almost only more than three hundred guan or less!

But the merchant in Lantian County who also donated 1,000 tons is different. According to Lantian County’s commercial tax levy ratio of one out of six, the total profit of his business in the next five months of this year can only reach six. Thousand guan, you can use up all this one-thousand guan tax-free quota! At this time, the actual business tax that the Lantian county government lost to this businessman was actually a thousand consistent, no discount at all!

Therefore, of the 428,500 donations raised by the fundraising conference yesterday, even if the amount donated by merchants in Lantian County and the merchants in other counties is half, the county government in Lantian County will have left this year The commercial tax lost in the next five months is far greater than the commercial tax lost by the court!

Not to mention that in yesterday’s charity, nearly 60% of Lantian County businessmen donated! Moreover, the imperial court levied commercial taxes from more than 300 states and counties in Datang. Even if more than 300 merchants were less taxed 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 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 on the imperial court, and it directly smashed Lantian County!

In the hall, the last sentence of Master Zhang’s book made the eyes of all four of you flashed a little strange. Before Li Zexuan took over Lantian County, they were in charge of Lantian County and were under the supervision of various administrative agencies of the court. No one of them dared not listen or obey any administrative orders or instructions of Li Er. They were all executed unconditionally, because at that time they were receiving 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 continued to speak, Lieutenant Wang couldn’t help but speak: “Now Lantian County is the fief of Lord Hou. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, within the fief, the landlord can appropriately make another law and combine Have the right to levy taxes independently. 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 imperial decree of the Holy Supreme has too great an impact on Lantian County. I can fully exercise Lantian County’s right to tax independently and not implement this imperial decree tax exemption policy! "

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

Li Zexuan is not in Lantian County now, and the magistrate He is the nominal chief executive of Lantian County. In the end this matter must be decided by the magistrate He!

Actually, the county magistrate He was also weighing in his heart at this time. He didn’t know what Meng Xiancheng, Zhang Zhubu and Wang Xianwei said. It is undeniable that this decree of Li Er’s award is for Lan Tian The "harm" of the county is huge, and Lantian County can also not implement it, but...

"What everyone said is reasonable. According to the Law of the Tang Dynasty, Lantian County does not need to go to tax exemption for businessmen in the county according to the imperial edict, but have you ever thought about it if the county government really did so? , What do businessmen in Lantian County, especially those who donated money at yesterday’s fundraising meeting, feel in their hearts?

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 own strength to the Tang Dynasty and the court. Now the court wants to reward the businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting. But they are not rewarded just because they are merchants in Lantian County. Do you think they will feel chilly? "

After considering for a long time, County Madam He finally spoke.

His words silenced all three of the people in the hall.

Objectively speaking, Mengxian Cheng, Zhang Masterbu, and Wang Xianwei are considering Lantian County's immediate interests. It is true that they made such a proposal, but in the eyes of the county magistrate, they are a bit short-sighted!

Seeing that Mengxiancheng 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, which was determined to get rid of the long-suffering business in the Tang Dynasty. Malpractice, to create a good business environment for businessmen from all over the world in Lantian County, so as to vigorously develop the business of Lantian County, so that the county government can collect more business taxes for people's livelihood construction!

After several 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 today most of the merchants in the city recognize the county government very much. Once this person's heart is cold and loose, it will not be 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, He County magistrate's vision is undoubtedly more long-term. Meng County Cheng and the others see Lantian County’s current interests, and He County magistrate What worries about is whether the good situation they have painstakingly created will be completely vanished because of a wrong decision!

"The county magistrate said it was very true, but if we implement tax exemption for those businessmen in accordance with the imperial edict, how should we solve the current financial dilemma in Lantian County~?"

There was a long silence, and Master Zhang asked with his hands.

This is also the most concerned issue of Mengxian Cheng and Wang Xianwei.

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 urgently needs to be resolved. It is necessary and also the county government to create a good business environment in Lantian County. The bottom line that needs to be adhered to. No matter what, the official will not agree to any decision that may destroy the current good situation in Lantian County, and the official believes that Hou Ye will not agree!

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

Li Zexuan had told the county magistrate before he went to the Xuanjia Army to take up his post, so that if he was undecided, he could pass the news to the army through the telegraph of the Academy or the Hou Mansion.

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

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

Meng Xiancheng nodded and agreed.

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

"Yes~!"

Master Zhang and Wei Wang Xian both nodded in agreement.

A dispute was finally resolved temporarily. After all, Li Zexuan is the master of Lantian County and the backbone of them!

…………………………………………

Taiyuan Inn.

"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, the one who opened the door for him was the Dugu Flying Eagle who had been following him!

In order to save the dying Dugu Xin, Dugu Flying Eagle can be considered as a fight, and directly became the minor followers of Gongsunliang and Yaotong Xiaobao, just to not miss the best time to treat Dugu Xin.

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

Gongsunliang, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, adjusted his breath and calmed his mind, opened his eyes~IndoMTL.com~ and 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 vision and lifted Dugu Xin from the bed to facilitate the medicine child to feed the medicine. When Dugu Feiying saw the situation, he wanted to come forward and help, but Gongsun Liang stopped and said:" It’s enough to have both of them feed the medicine! After a while, when the decoction works, the two poisons in the patient will fight each other, and the patient will be very painful and may subconsciously make some excessive reactions. You can help the old man hold down your brother while the old man is by the side. Give acupuncture!"

"...good~!"

Previously, when Gongsunliang explained the general process of treating Duguxin to everyone, Dugu Feiying was taking the little medicine boy to Huichuntang to grab 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.
