Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated! Chapter 310: I, Yan Jing, have unparalleled virtue
The capital, Yan's house.
Yan Jing and Yan Yuanshu are entertaining a guest.
Zongling of the Tang Zongrenfu, the uncle of Emperor Yongping, Li Heng, the famous king.
"Your Royal Highness, please!"
Yan Jing poured a cup of tea for King Yu, made a "please" gesture, and then sat back to his seat.
King Yu smiled and said, "Master Yan's tea is not ordinary!"
"The king of honor is too famous, this is one or two teas on the street!"
What is a tea or two?
It is one tael of silver and one tael of tea.
Is this a good tea?
Of course not!
Real good tea is sold for money. Count two pieces of silver or gold to buy a dollar.
But are these two teas bad?
Compared to the tea that weighs the pound, this is a good tea.
The dignitaries and dignitaries despise one or two teas, and ordinary people in the market cannot afford one or two teas.
These two teas have become the favorites of many middle-level officials.
With such a background and identity as Yan Jing, he even drank a tea or two, which surprised King Yu.
"People in the world say that I, Li Heng, are old bucklers, and the stinginess of Yan Xueshi is more than that of this king!"
King Yu held the teacup and took a sip.
Yan Jing smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the salary of a low-ranking official can also drink this or two teas. As for the assets in the family, it is not what Yan Jing earned, so dare An dare to spend it arbitrarily?"
"No wonder the sage values you, this integrity, this king also admires!"
King Yu nodded and said again, "This king is here because he has something to do. I plan to ask Yuanshu for advice!"
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Yan Jing responded quickly.
In this Tang Dynasty, the Sage is the supreme being that cannot be offended.
Under the Sage, there is the Zongrenfu Zongling, the honorary king Li Heng.
Because the Zongren Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, it was not only the royal family, but also the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty.
Yan Jing does not have a title, but their Yan residence is also a meritorious deed for the founding of the country, a hereditary first-rank military marquis. His eldest brother has now assumed the title of Marquis of Zhenjun.
"The sage named Zhao Bingxiao, the second son of the Zhao family, as a rich and noble lord, but this king went to check it. Our rich and noble lord's name is very poor!"
"Yuanshu, what do you think about this?"
“”
Hearing King Yu's question, Yan Jing wanted to say, I'll sit and watch.
But if he really answered like this, I'm afraid that King Yu could slap him away with a slap.
"Your Highness King Yu, can a lower official ask how much property this rich and noble marquis originally owned?"
"No!"
King Yu was stunned for a moment, then gave an answer that made him wonder whether to laugh or cry.
"That's surprising, since there is no permanent property in the name of this rich and noble prince, how did he accomplish what he did before?"
"He has some disciples who are filial!"
"Also, his sister's dowry is also in his hands!"
"Dingbei Hou Yuan's wife's dowry!"
Yan Jing paused for a while, isn't this the dowry he paid to his eldest brother's mother? This is the property of the original owner!
Prince Yu saw that Yan Jing paused, and only said that he had some good ideas.
As a result, what made King Yu collapsed was that Yan Jing opened his mouth and said: [Shuquge www.shuquge.co] "His Royal Highness King Yu, the minister thought that since the Duke of Dingbei was in charge of his sister's dowry, he is now filial piety. Yoshiro has grown up, should this dowry be returned to the original owner?"
"If Fuguihou thinks that the dowry should not be given to his sister's son, then, according to the practice of my Tang Dynasty, this dowry should be inherited by the owner of Defu Township!"
"In this way, this property is your right to interrogate His Royal Highness King Yu!"
At first hearing this, King Yu should jump for joy.
However, the Tang Zongren Mansion also has a decree. If the property is under the name of a minor honorable person, the Zongren Mansion only has the right to supervise and not to collect taxes.
Telfu Township is not yet a year old!
According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, if a woman becomes an adult at the age of sixteen, can she still live for sixteen years?
King Yu almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Yuanshu, is there no other way?"
"You know, the life of the Zongren Mansion is sad!"
"His Royal Highness King Yu, please forgive me for being incompetent!"
Yan Jing said decisively that he had no choice.
What a joke, these dowries belong to his eldest niece, and he is an uncle, so can he help outsiders figure things out for his own niece?
I, Yan Jing, have unparalleled virtue, and I can't do such a shameless thing.
King Yu came in melancholy and left in melancholy.
However, he still decided to urge Zhao Bingxiao, as long as Zhao Bingxiao continued to hold the dowry, then he would always have a way to deduct something from him.
What made King Yu even more grieved was that he had just returned to the ancestral mansion when he received a document from the wealthy marquis Zhao Bingzheng, asking the sect man to supervise that he was about to be handed over to his elder sister and granddaughter Defu Township Master All the dowry, as well as the various industries derived from the dowry over the years.
Looking at the box full of copies of various documents, King Yu felt blood dripping from his heart.
No way, the Zongren Mansion is really poor.
Emperor Taizu created this clan mansion purely to serve the royal family and nobles. There are a lot of things to do, but what about the money?
Relying on the wealth of the nobles to draw taxes.
The court tax, the commercial tax is ten tax one, and the land tax is fifteen tax one.
The ten tax of the business tax is well understood, that is, the merchant earns ten cents and pays a tax of one cent.
The 15th tax of the land tax is 55% for the tenant and the landlord, and the landlord pays another 1% of the tax. The tenant does not need to pay any land tax.
Of course, if it is one's own land, it is five taxes and one.
What about the taxation of the Zongrenfu?
The land tax is thirty and one tax, and the commercial tax is twenty and one tax.
If that's just the case, then the days of the Zongren Mansion will not be difficult. However, Emperor Taizu formulated a method of increasing and decreasing, that is, according to the amount of income of nobles, the tax rate will change.
Anyway, after all the tossing to the end, the days of the Zongren Mansion are really sad.
King Yu also wanted the nobles to buy more properties, but with more properties, he was basically working for the Zongrenfu. Are the nobles stupid? Of course not stupid.
As a result, the nobles stuck to the standard and controlled the industry.
When necessary, divide the family once.
The branch that was distributed still enjoys the protection of the honorable family, but it no longer belongs to the honorable family.
Taxes?
A gross tax!
Every midnight, King Yu would be full of resentment towards Emperor Taizu. Isn't this a pit for future generations?
Everyone knows that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.
But in the sect's mansion, he did older jobs, handled older disputes, and received a meager salary. The worst thing is that, in many cases, the work done still offends people.
"What crime did this king do in his last life?"
In charge of the sect's mansion, the power seems to be only under the Yongping Emperor, but only he knows the ups and downs.
What? Why not sweet?
He, the Zongling of the dignified clan's mansion, the prince of the imperial court, occasionally has to use his salary and the family's property to send some New Year gifts to his subordinates, you say, where is the sweetness?
