Chapter 142: Beginning of Taxes
Chen Wenhui looked at the things in the library and went to the yamen in front. first went to the Financial Secretary, and the official in charge was Yujin. Chen Wenhui saw that Yujin was very busy, and couldn't think of why the Financial Secretary was so busy, at this time, the water lotus next to her was busy reminding her that the tax collection had begun now, so the officials of the Financial Secretary were very busy.
Chen Wenhui smiled, how could she forget about such a big event? At this time, Yujin had already seen Chen Wenhui arrive, and hurriedly asked the people around him to ask for instructions to temporarily retreat, and invited Chen Wenhui to the flower hall to drink tea. ”
Yujin smiled and said, "Isn't it? That's why it's so hectic. After all, it was the first time that the land property tax and the poll tax were collected. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "However, I think you are doing a good job. ”
Yujin said with a smile: "Although it is the first time to collect land property tax and poll tax, we have already started to collect commercial tax and customs duties. Therefore, we are not unfamiliar with the matter of collecting taxes, but we are starting to smooth it out, and it is inevitable that we will be busy. ”
Chen Wenhui sighed and said, "There are still too few people around me, how are the people you have cultivated?" ”
Yujin said: "The girl thinks that Yumei City will be built soon, and there are no management personnel, right?" Don't worry about this. In the past few years, we have cultivated a large number of officials in Qingchun City, all of whom are very experienced, but there is a lack of a person in charge. It's better to transfer people from Vermilion Bird City, after all, the overall construction of Vermilion Bird City has almost progressed, and everything is smooth. However, Yumei City was newly built, and people wanted to watch it. ”
Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll think about this." By the way, our Qingchun City looks vigorous, but it hasn't made me any money yet? Every year, I am also asked to invest the money I earn from Baojingfang, Nanyang Bank, and Dachu Bank. After this recovery tax, I don't want to make money, can you not let me post money? ”
Yujin said with a smile: "Although the work of collecting taxes is not yet completed, and. This is only a tax on the first batch of land that has been cleared. However, our department estimated that although the tax we collect is very low, it is still very objective. Temporarily unable to break even. But. There is no need for the girl to post so much money every year. ”
Chen Wenhui laughed and said: "After saying so much, I still have to post money." In other words, there is no gain without input. I still posted it. Did you do the math? When will I be able to break even? ”
Yujin said with a smile: "Actually, it's very soon, and when the second batch of wasteland starts to be taxed, it is estimated that we will be able to break even." The second batch of land reclamation in Qingchun City will probably be in March and April of the following year. By September and October, it will be the time when the last batch of land reclamation can be collected, and at that time, we can start to make a profit. ”
Chen Wenhui was a little surprised: "So fast, doesn't that mean that at this time next year, I won't have to post money to Qingchun City?" ”
Before Yujin could speak, Shui Lian had already spoken: "Girl, although you don't need to post money to Qingchun City, you still have to put money to Vermilion Bird City." By the way, there are three more Acropolis. ”
Yujin said: "Fortunately, Yumei City doesn't need to post money, it is the money to raise funds, but, according to what we said when we first built the city to raise funds, in the next five years, don't think about the income of Yumei City." ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead and said: "This is really, although I own three cities and three acropolis, I don't make any money at all?" I also have to keep sticking money. In this way, I, the richest girl in Da Chu, have no name. ”
This money seems to be a lot, but it is all left hand in and right hand out, and there are still not many that can really fall.
Shui Lian said: "Fortunately, we just pasted the money from the two banks into it, and the income from Baojingfang pasted it in. We have a few others. For example, the income of the pharmacy is increasing every year, and the four shops opened by the black family with us are also very profitable. Now not only are the four shops in the capital very profitable, but the four shops that have opened in the four clan lands have begun to make profits. In addition, the minerals and herbs that the black family digs overseas every year give us one percent and one percent to the family. That's also very objective. ”
Chen Wenhui was overjoyed.
Yujin said: "Although these look like a lot, but the income of the medicine shop, the girl has long said that she will stay in Dachu and hand it over to Mrs. Liu to take care of and use it to do good deeds." This income is equal to nothing. “
Chen Wenhui thought about it and smiled bitterly.
Yujin continued: "There is also the black family's minerals and herbs, the minerals are filled in the middle of the construction of these three cities, and only one-third of them can be stored every year. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded, storing minerals is the last word, and many shrewd countries in the previous life did this.
Yujin continued: "In this way, only the income of those shops is calculated. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, am I still the richest girl in Da Chu?" ”
Yujin and Shuilian both laughed and said, "Of course, forget it, the income of these shops is about 200,000 taels every year, which girl's family in Dachu can have so much income?" It's not a total of 200,000 taels, it's 200,000 taels a year. The girl makes new clothes every day, and she makes new jewelry every day, and she can't use it up. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it, this number is already a big number.
Yujin said: "The average girl's family, after having money, in addition to expenses, is nothing more than buying a shop and buying a field. Does this girl still need to buy it? Our three cities in Nanyang, the three acropolises are all girls', let's go buy a shop again, the fields are not a joke? The best areas of the shops in our cities are rented out every year by our city lord's mansion, and the best fields outside the city are our own, and we hire people to take care of them every year, so we still need to buy shops and fields in Dachu? So, girl, you can't spend your money. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I don't plan to save money, my money has to be kept to continue to build the city, where can I just do it in three cities?" Is the South Seas so big? In the future, even if the South Seas are fully developed, I still want to go to North and South America, Europe, and Oceania. Of course, at that time, it may be hundreds of years later, and I can't finish it, so I can only keep it for future generations. ”
Yujin and Shuilian both laughed and said, "The girl really thinks long-term." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "No wonder you are preparing a dowry for me, you are not soft at all, and you don't think about money at all, as if you want to help me solve the trouble of having a lot of money." It turns out that I really have a lot of money. ”
At this time, Yujin paid attention to the fact that there was no one around, so he said, "Girl, we are all worried about you." We all know the situation in the capital. The succession is staged from generation to generation, and officials are busy getting promoted and getting rich every day. The situation of the Zhao family is so complicated. Although it is better now, in order to avoid suspicion, the old prince of the Zhao family has retired and brought the old lady with him, but after all, the son of Chongyi is a concubine, and the old lady Zhao just wants to embarrass the girl, which is also very easy. Not to mention, the girls of the Zhao family are all that virtuous, and we have all been taught. We're all worried about the girl. Why don't we go back to the capital with the girl? ”
Chen Wenhui grinned and said, "What are you afraid of? How many of the natives of the South Seas died at my command? I've come here to overcome obstacles in such a place, do you still care about those things in the capital? What happened to Mrs. Zhao? It's a mother-in-law, but she can't beat me with her own hands, right? I saw that Shuilian and they had prepared a lot of things for me, and when the time came, I would use money and things to buy off the people around Mrs. Zhao little by little, and I saw how that old thing dealt with me for Chongyi at that time. ”
Shui Lian hurriedly said: "Oh, the girl can't say such things, how can she say that her mother-in-law is an old thing?" ”
Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "She is the mother-in-law of that door?" Was Chongyi's brother born to her? Did she feed her Chongyi brother? Not only did he not support him, but he also calculated Brother Chongyi in every possible way, if it weren't for the protection of the old prince, Brother Chongyi would have died many times. Not to mention, she still killed Brother Chongyi, the murderer of my mother-in-law, I don't call her an old thing, what is it called? ”
Shuilian and Yujin smiled bitterly and were about to speak.
Chen Wenhui waved her hand and said, "I know that in terms of etiquette, she is not wrong. The lady of the main room, not to mention that she assassinated the concubine with a conspiracy, even if she killed the concubine openly, it should be. Moreover, Chongyi's brother's mother can only be her, and his biological mother is an aunt and a servant. So, I don't say these things in front of people. It's just that it's impossible for me to respect that old thing as I respect my mother-in-law. I will do a good job of saving face. But since she uses means, wouldn't I be too sorry for her if I didn't use it? You don't have to worry, keep Qingchun City for me, this is our foundation. These people around me just followed. Trust me, I'm going to be able to bring this old thing down. ”
Seeing this, Yujin couldn't say anything, thought for a while and said: "Qingchun City, the three cities here in Nanyang are the foundation of the girl, so we won't follow." Please rest assured, we will definitely help her keep it. It's just that the girl can't be careless. I think that in addition to the current water lotus, the girl still chooses some maids who can do martial arts to take with them. Just in case. In the past few years, Master Wu has not been idle, from the loyal little girls, selected the talented, after layers of tests, finally there are eight little girls with the best martial arts, and also taught some simple female workers and other work, the outside can not see that they are martial arts people, and ask the girl to take it with him.
