Chapter 1842 Lantian County that was pitted!

“…… In addition to publicly praising the businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday, the county magistrate, and the businessmen who donated money yesterday can receive the same amount of tax exemption this year! But more than half of the businessmen who donated money yesterday were from our Lantian County, and the total amount of donations donated by these businessmen was nearly 260,000~!

If our Lantian County implements the levy according to the will of the Holy Lord, wouldn't we have to pay less than 260,000 yuan in commercial tax? The treasury of the county government is not rich, and yesterday donated 10,000 yuan, and then the county government will expand the city and assist Yunshan to lay wires for the county, and now the will of the saint will be sharpened in the future, and the commercial taxes collected by our county government will be sharply reduced in the future, how is this good~? ”

In the back hall of Lantian County, Meng County Cheng held a notice in his hand, and said worriedly to He County Order, who was sitting on the top.

In the hall, in addition to the two of them, there are also Zhang Zhushu and Wang County Lieutenant, it can be said that the chief officials of the Lantian County County Government are here, as for Hu Dianshi and Sun Zhutou, they are in charge of prison and public security, and they did not participate in this small-scale meeting within the county government.

The notice in Meng County's hand was naturally a notice of commendation for businessmen posted in Chang'an City and the surrounding counties this morning, and all four people present had read it.

"Lord County Commander, Meng Xiancheng's worries are not unreasonable! At the beginning, the Hou Ye returned the financial power of Lantian County to the county government, and told us to take the taxes collected from the people and use them for the people.

At present, we have laid such a big stall, and borrowed a lot of money from Yanhuang Qianzhuang, and the expansion of the city and the laying of wires behind it require a lot of silver, if the tax decree is implemented according to the will of the saint, in the remaining five months of this year, we are afraid that we can only collect one or two thousand yuan of commercial tax, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket!

In this way, the two projects to be promoted in the future will not only be directly stalled, but our county government owes Yanhuang Qianzhuang some money, I am afraid it will be difficult to pay it off! Therefore, the lower official thinks that otherwise, our county will not implement the tax collection decree in accordance with the will of the saint, and still collect and pay commercial tax according to the original policy~? ”

I have to say that Li Er's holy decree to reward the businessmen who participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday has somewhat disrupted the development rhythm of Lantian County, and if it is really implemented in accordance with the tax reduction decree on the holy decree, Lantian County will suffer huge losses financially!

First of all, there are more than 600 merchants in Lantian County, but there are more than 300 people who participated in the fundraising conference yesterday.

The reason why the other more than 300 merchants did not participate in the fundraising meeting, except for a few people who are indeed born stingy, most of the merchants have just moved into Lantian County, and their shops have just gained a foothold in Lantian County, in other words, they have not made a profit or have very little profit, resulting in a lack of money.

If taxes are levied according to Li Er's tax reduction decree, it is really conceivable how miserable the financial situation of the county government of Lantian County will be in the next few months!

In addition, the commercial tax collection ratio in Lantian County is 1 out of 6, while the commercial tax collection ratio in the rest of the states and counties in Datang is 1 out of 30, which will lead to a problem:

The two businessmen both participated in the fundraising meeting yesterday, and both donated 1,000 yuan, but one of them is from Lantian County, and the other is from another county, according to Li Er's will, the two of them will get a tax exemption quota of 1,000 yuan for the rest of the year, which seems to be no problem, but if it is combined with the different commercial tax collection ratios in Lantian County and outside Lantian County, it will be too problematic!

According to the commercial tax collection ratio of 1 out of 30 in most states and counties in Datang, the businessman from other counties who donated 1,000 yuan, as long as the total profit from doing business in the remaining five months of this year does not exceed 30,000 yuan, does not need to pay additional commercial tax to the imperial court! In other words, only when his total profit in five months reaches 30,000 yuan, can he use up all the 1,000 yuan tax exemption he received because of the fundraising meeting!

But in fact, there are still very few businessmen in the entire Datang who can make a profit of 30,000 guan in five months, that is to say, the businessman from other counties who donated 1,000 guan, although he has obtained a tax exemption quota of 1,000 guan, but in fact he can't use up this quota at all, because his profit in five months is likely to be only 10,000 guan or less!

In this way, the actual loss of business tax by the imperial court on this merchant is only about one-thirtieth of 10,000 guan, almost only more than 300 guan or less!

But the businessman in Lantian County who also donated 1,000 guan is different, according to the commercial tax collection ratio of Lantian County, as long as the total profit of his business in the next five months of this year can reach 6,000 yuan, he can use up all the tax exemption quota of 1,000 yuan! And at this time, the actual loss of business taxes by the county government of Lantian County on this businessman is a real thousand, and there is no discount at all!

Therefore, among the 428,500 yuan raised at yesterday's fund-raising meeting, even if the merchants of Lantian County and other counties donated half of the amount, the loss of commercial tax in the remaining five months of this year by the county government of Lantian County is far greater than the loss of commercial tax by the imperial court!

Not to mention that in yesterday's donations, the proportion of businessmen in Lantian County donated was nearly sixty percent! Moreover, the imperial court is to collect commercial taxes from more than 300 states and counties in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even if more than 300 merchants pay taxes this year, it is not enough to pay taxes under the huge base! But it is different for the county government of Lantian County, there are more than 300 businessmen to pay taxes, which means that the business tax collected by the county government will be less than half of the next!

So no matter from which point of view, Li Er's holy decree has a much greater impact on the county government of Lantian County than on the imperial court, and it directly pits Lantian County to death!

In the hall, the last sentence of Master Zhang's book made the eyes of the four people present flash a trace of strangeness, before Li Zexuan took over Lantian County, they were in charge of Lantian County, and they were under the supervision of various administrative agencies of the imperial court, and for any administrative orders or instructions of Li Er, none of them dared to disobey or disobey them, they were all unconditionally implemented, because they were receiving the imperial court's Yulu at that time, and they were imperial court officials, but now, what ......

"Lord County Order, Master Zhang's proposal is not unavoidable~!"

Seeing that no one in the house continued to speak, County Lieutenant Wang couldn't help but speak: "Now Lantian County is the fief of the Hou Ye, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, within the fief, the fief owner can appropriately separate laws and have the right to collect taxes independently, since the Hou Ye took over Lantian, the taxes collected in Lantian County not only do not need to be handed over to the imperial court, but even the proportion of taxes can be determined by the Hou Ye!"

Now the Holy Decree has too great an impact on Lantian County, and we can fully exercise Lantian County's right to collect taxes on its own and not implement this tax exemption policy on the Holy Decree! ”

As County Lieutenant Wang said, the three people in the hall all looked at He County Commander.

Li Zexuan is not in Lantian County now, so He County Commander is the nominal supreme administrator of Lantian County, and this matter must ultimately be decided by He County Order!

In fact, He County Order was also weighing it in his heart at this time, what Meng County Cheng, Zhang Zhushu and Wang County Lieutenant said, he didn't know, it is undeniable that Li Er's commendation decree is huge for Lantian County's "harm", and Lantian County can not implement it at all, but ......

"What you said makes sense, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed no need for Lantian County to give tax exemption to the merchants in the county according to the holy decree, but have you ever thought about it, if the county government really does this, how will the businessmen of Lantian County, especially those merchants 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 conference, and contributed their own strength to the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, He Xian Ling finally spoke.

His words caused all three people in the hall to fall silent.

Objectively speaking, Meng Xiancheng, Zhang Zhushu and Wang Xianwei are considering the current interests of Lantian County, and it is certainly right for them to make such a suggestion, but in He County's opinion, it is a bit short-sighted!

Seeing that Meng County Cheng and the others were all contemplative, He Xianling took a deep breath, and then said: "At the beginning, Hou Ye ordered the county government to set up a business department, which was determined to get rid of the long-standing commercial malpractice of the Tang Dynasty, and create a good business environment for businessmen all over the world in Lantian County, so as to vigorously develop the business of Lantian County and allow the county government to collect more commercial taxes for people's livelihood construction!"

After my hard work in the past few months, the business environment in Lantian County has greatly improved, there are more and more merchants in the city, and business is also thriving. You must know that the merchants in the city are very recognized by the county government, and once this person's heart is cold and scattered, it will not be easy to reunite again! ”

As the person with the highest official position in the county, and has also experienced a lot of experience under Li Zexuan, He County's vision is undoubtedly more long-term, Meng County's vision is the current interests of Lantian County, and what He County's commander is worried about is whether the good situation they have painstakingly created will be completely wiped out because of a wrong decision!

"What the county decree says is very true, but if those businessmen are exempted from taxes according to the holy decree, how should our current financial predicament in Lantian County be solved~?"

After being silent for a long time, Master Zhang asked.

This is also the issue that Meng Xiancheng and Wang Xianwei are most concerned about at the moment.

He Xianling pinched his beard under his chin and said: "There are huge difficulties in the county government at the moment, this is a fact, and it needs to be solved urgently; Creating a good business environment in Lantian County is a must, and it is also the bottom line that the county government needs to adhere to. No matter what, this official will not agree to any decision that may destroy the current good situation in Lantian County, and this official believes that Hou Ye will not agree either!

As for how to solve the difficulties faced by the county government after tax exemption, since this official and you have no good way, you can only ask the Hou Ye! The official will find a way to convey this matter and our thoughts to Hou Ye, and everything depends on how Hou Ye makes a decision~! ”

Before Li Zexuan went to the Xuanjia Army to take up his post, he had given He County Order, telling him that if he encountered something that he couldn't decide, he could pass the news to the army through the telegraph of the academy or the Hou Mansion.

Now that the county government has encountered this matter, it really makes it difficult for He County Ling and others, and for today's plan, Li Zexuan can only make an idea~!

"Good! Then inform Hou Ye of this matter and let Hou Ye decide~! ”

Meng Xiancheng nodded and agreed.

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

"That's right~!"

Zhang Zhushu and Wang County Lieutenant both nodded in agreement.

A controversy has finally been resolved temporarily. After all, Li Zexuan is the master of Lantian County, and he is also the backbone of these people!

Taiyuan Post House.

"Master, the medicine is ready~!"

Three quarters of an hour later, the little medicine boy walked in from outside the door with a bowl of steaming medicinal soup on a tray, and of course, it was Dugu Feiying who had been following him all the time to open the door for him!

In order to save Dugu Xin, who was dying, Dugu Feiying could be regarded as fighting, and directly became the little followers of Gongsun Liang and Xiaobao, the medicine boy, just to not miss the best opportunity to treat Dugu Xin.

"Good! Come and feed this general~! ”

Gongsun Liang, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch to breathe and recuperate, opened his eyes, stood up, and said.

"Yes! Master~! ”

The medicine boy nodded in response, and then he came to the bed with the medicine bowl.

Tie Dan stepped forward quickly with great eyesight, and helped Dugu Xin up from the bed to facilitate the little medicine boy to feed the medicine, Dugu Feiying also wanted to step forward to help when he saw this, but Gongsun Liang stopped him and said: "It is enough to have the two of them feeding the medicine!" After a while, when the decoction takes effect, the two poisons in the patient's body fight, the patient will be very painful, and may subconsciously make some overreactions, you come to help the old man hold down your brother, and the old man will apply the needle on the side! ”

“…… Good~! ”

Previously, when Gongsun Liang explained to everyone the general process of healing Dugu Xin later, Dugu Feiying was taking the little medicine boy to the Rejuvenation Hall to grab medicine, so he didn't understand why Dugu Xin 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 Dugu Xin's side according to what Gongsun Liang said, and pinched Dugu Xin's two arms with both hands.
