Time is always the most important healing medicine, whether it is sadness, pain, or turmoil, it can always be diluted by time.

Ten days passed in a flash, and the story that the Cui family and Donald Lao Si had to tell finally gradually calmed down, and no longer became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in the circle.

Within ten days, the head of Chang'an, who was vomiting blood with hatred, was immediately sent back to Qinghe County after his condition improved. Instead, it was the third child of the Qinghe Cui family, who had been in charge of the eastern capital of Luoyang.

Because of this, Qinghe Cui's promise to the head of the Wei family is bound to drift away with the wind.

The other protagonist of this incident, Mr. Tang Heshang, did not care about the rumors of Chang'an City, he was still in Chengjiazhuang outside the city, catching Luoyang Ma Tsai to bury his head in writing books.

So much so that Tang Laosi didn't know that the saying "first-class arithmetic on the Tang River" had spread throughout the entire circle, and he didn't know how many times his father had pretended to beep in front of his colleagues in the past ten days, and how many words of "rebel" he had scolded!

The materials piled up in the courtyard were also increasing, and they were almost reaching the established amount on the Tang River.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, on May 24, the eleventh day of the delivery turmoil, Tang River took Wang Shuai Xuance brocade clothes at night, entered Chang'an City, and arrived at the Juguo Mansion.

It's not that Donald Si intends to walk at night in brocade clothes, but his father's request to go home immediately!

Otherwise, even if Tang Laosi returns to Chang'an, he will go to Da'anfang first, instead of going home directly.

Entering the mansion gate, passing through the courtyard, and then passing through the gate of the inner courtyard, Tang Laosi and Wang Xuance went directly to the father's study that was still waiting for him.

Tang Jian looked up at the two people who entered the door, pointed to the futon on the side and said, "Are you back?" Sit down, Xuan Ce too, feel free to do yourself! ”

The four big Tang elders knelt down on the futon, and Wang Xuance was not polite, and after bowing, he sat down.

Glancing at his father's face who was a little worried, Tang Heshang smiled and said, "What are you worried about? I'm already old, and I'm frowning every day, and I'm not afraid of getting old faster, and when the time comes, I'll go to Saibei again, and I'm not afraid that people won't recognize you? ”

Tang Jian glared at his son when he heard this, and scolded: "Hippie smiling face, no mouth!" Aren't you afraid that your mother will hear it? ”

Wang Xuance on the side quickly grasped the point, but he didn't dare to laugh with a straight face.

"Okay!"

Tang Laosi shrugged his shoulders and said in a different way: "Please also tell my father, what is the matter with finding my son back today?" ”

Tang Jian only felt that there was a large row of ellipses floating on his forehead, and he took a deep breath and said beautifully: "It's not the incident you provoked?" On that day, my father handed over a letter to the court in the morning, please change the tax system, and then the emperor got your father to the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

TMD Lao Tzu is a vertical and horizontal family, where do I do these things? Now not only do I have to look at the ledger every day, but my scalp is numb, and this luxury tax has been done for more than 20 days, and there is no progress. You kid has a lot of ideas, so let you come back to Daddy Staff Officer! ”

All right! This really has a lot to do with me!

Tang Laosi raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, Dad, what kind of problems have you encountered, let's think of a way together!" ”

Tang Jian didn't feel ashamed to talk about these things in front of his own Qilin'er, and threw out an account book and said: "First of all, this account book, there are thousands of such account books, if you don't turn these account books right, your father and I can't do the handover."

But I get a headache when I look at this thing, why don't you help me reconcile the accounts? Didn't you make a name for yourself a few days ago as a pretty good arithmeticist, and this should be very simple for you.

Secondly, in terms of luxury tax, although the court has agreed on a list, it is very difficult to actually implement it! When the officials came to inspect, they all lowered their prices in order to avoid taxes, which made everyone quite unconfident! ”

Dad's words made Donald Si fall into deep thought.

The first thing is very easy to solve, just call the account office in the workshop to solve it quickly.

But the second thing is really difficult!

Unlike in the days when the system was sourced, all transactions were mostly settled with something called a "bank card". The state can supervise and monitor each account, and it is clear how much is in and how much is out. If you want to evade taxes, you have to put a lot of effort into it.

Datang's transactions are all made of real money, and it is too easy to cheat on transaction taxes, and only need a fake account book.

Therefore, as soon as the luxury tax was introduced, one by one, with the support of clans, officials, nobles, and even these merchants secretly set up by the superstructure of the Tang Dynasty, immediately had countermeasures.

Two sets of account books were made for the inner account and the outer account, the internal account income was 500 yuan, but the external account was recorded as 50 yuan, one came and went, and one of the ten taxes became one hundred taxes!

This kind of thing, everyone is doing this, and the emperor knows about it, but there is nothing to be done! After all, not everyone is like Donald Si's auction house, and everyone knows how much money they sold today.

The shop sold it at this price in one bite, and the tax collector had nothing to do unless he had sufficient evidence!

Violent law enforcement?

This trick still has an effect on small merchants and hawkers, and don't even think about it when it comes to giants!

There is no one behind that giant?

Donald Laosi frowned slightly, it's not easy to do!

You can't afford to lose more than you gain, and every luxury store should send a tax collector to squat, right?

Or let it go, I didn't receive much tax in the past, and now I have a nominal ten taxes, but in fact, one hundred taxes, which is better than nothing?

Hehe!

The new secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tang Jian, Tang Mao, is incompetent!

Can you listen to such words?

If he could listen to it, Tang Laosi would not have been gently instigated by Wei, and then almost died drunk in Cuiyue Tower.

After a long time, Tang Shilang sighed faintly: "The issue of luxury tax collection, I will think about it again. As for the problem of the account book, let Brother Xuan Ce bring the account room in Da'an Fang tomorrow, and when the time comes, the officials of the Ministry of Teaching and Religion should be able to complete the reconciliation work soon. That's it, don't worry about one thing, Dad, maybe I'll think of a way tomorrow! ”

"Okay!"

Tang Jian knew how difficult it was to find out tax evasion, and he was not embarrassed by Tang Laosi, got up and said, "It's not early, let's go back to sleep first!" Tomorrow figuring it out! ”

Tang Laosi got up and said goodbye.

Wang Xuance also saluted and left.

For a whole night, Tang Laosi did not sleep peacefully, and what his father said made Tang Heshang discover a reality again. The knowledge in your head is useful, but not every time.

Under the limitations of the times and technology, tax evasion, which is obviously easy to solve, is not the same thing when it comes to hands.

A sense of powerlessness rose from my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

So much so that Tang Laosi sometimes wants to ask the garbage system in his head: How did those bigwigs who crossed over solve this kind of problem?
