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!"
Like other businessmen who wanted to raise money, He Xianhuan took the donation card and walked to the donation box. He came to Lin Wenyuan's side, and the latter understood and handed the loudspeaker to He Xianyuan. , Xian Ling He reached out and took it, and then, using the function of a loudspeaker to amplify the sound, said loudly to the people present:
"At the beginning of this year, Lord Hou 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, merchants can do business with peace of mind in Lantian County, without other disturbances! In this short period of less than a year, Lantian County's commerce has been thriving, and the county government 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 looking at me in the Tang Dynasty. Although the county government of Lantian County is not as rich as all of you here, I am willing to do my part for the court. Therefore, this official is from the county government library today. Draw ten thousand to 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 Tang and His Majesty! "
As a "landlord", it is understandable that Xian Ling He 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, the "signboard" of Lantian County was used to attract more businessmen to do business in Lantian County!
Sure enough, after He Xianling's voice fell off, there were bursts of cheers off the court and outside the inn.
"Hey! Lantian County's government office is really magnificent, this donation is 10,000 yuan!"
"Okay! A good one is taken from the people, and used for the people! Lord Hou said it well! The county magistrate did it well!"
"Lantian County is really a big change now, with 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 gangster who dares to come and ask you for trouble. ! This comes and goes, earning a lot more every month than before!"
"That's not right? 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 want to smash their heads to do business in Lantian County?"
"Yes, yes!"
…………
The business people’s discussions naturally fell in the ears of He Xianling, but he didn’t have the time to enjoy the praise at the moment. He returned the loudspeaker to Lin Wenyuan after saying this, because the whole fundraiser The time of the conference is very tight. 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 on the spot, and the words of the county magistrate He had just set off a huge wave in his ancient well without waves!
"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 these, 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!
Since ancient times, those vassals and vassals who conquered territories have been like this!
The Department of Commerce established in Lantian County was heard more or less 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 play by Li Zexuan. This is not a climate change, 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, Xiao Yu’s heart The shock and the sudden enlightenment are beyond words!
It turns out that merchants can exert such a powerful force!
Thinking that his main responsibility, as the Shangshu of the Household Department, is to take charge of Datang's purse for Li Er, but the political achievements made by Lantian County's county government 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 in such a medium-sized county, the annual commercial tax revenue is far more than 10,000 tons. The reason why it is said to be far beyond is because the Department of Commerce was established so far. It was only half a year, and now the magistrate He can directly donate 10,000 yuan 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?
Be aware 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, this medium-sized county will be able to collect taxes in one year. No one can predict how much business tax will be paid, but it will definitely be more than now, not less than 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 current 1,500 For the rest of the counties, among the taxes collected by Datang in one year, the business tax alone will be as large as six million!
Six million pennies!
Thinking of this figure, Xiao Yu felt a little breathless. If the Tang court had 6 million annual revenues, it would not be a problem for elite troops like the Xuanjia Army to arm ten units. At that time, A mere Turkic barbarian, 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 next to him awakened him from his beautiful fantasy. After recovering, Xiao Yu frowned and said displeased: "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 told the young man to tell you that there are official duties in the county office, so he should go ahead! Besides, boss Lin is about to read It's the name of Mo shopkeeper..."
Seeing Xiao Yu's look unhappy, the little official's heart jumped, and he didn't know where he had offended him, but he still boldly said with caution.
By the way, Xiao Yu had been in a daze for a long time. 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 the treasurer Mo in a while!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu calmed down, and then said to the little official.
"Here~!"
The little official replied, 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 moment, someone underneath couldn't help whispering.
"Qingmozhai? If I remember correctly, isn't this Qingmozhai shop in Xiaoge'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 will also donate today?"
The merchant’s news is indeed the most informed. As soon as Lin Wenyuan's voice fell, some people guessed the master behind the scenes of Qingmozhai!
Yes, Xiao Yu is going to donate too today!
He just let the little official go out to withdraw money, and by the way, he also 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 tongs are not many, it is what he showed 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 inn!
As for being guessed out of his identity~IndoMTL.com~ This Xiao Yu doesn't care at all. It is better to be guessed out. He thought that no one would say that he is stingy, disloyal and patriotic, right?
Lin Wenyuan, after finishing Qingmozhai, 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 fundraising meeting ends here..."
"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, and one of the older teenagers said loudly: " Boss Lin piggybacked, we should also donate money!"
As the young man said, he waved the donation card in his hand. Everyone looked intently 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?
