The new bookkeeping method is just an episode and an unexpected joy, and Dai Zhou has not forgotten the real purpose of coming to Mofu.

"Lord Qiqi, Mojia Village should be taxed 113.1 million yuan." The middle-aged bookkeeper reported with an excited face.

"How much?" Dai Xuan and Merton exclaimed at the same time.

"11,310,000!" Repeat the determination of the middle-aged account office.

Dai Xuan's palms trembled, you must know that during the Zhenguan period, the annual taxes of the entire Tang Dynasty were only more than 10 million yuan, and the taxes paid by a village in Mojia Village in just half a year were so much, which simply reached the level of a wealthy county.

"Marquis Mo has already promised Haikou in front of the emperor, but he can't go back." Dai Xuan hurriedly said.

More than 10,000 yuan of money is enough for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do too many things, and this is only the first half of the tax, in the future, I am afraid that there will be a large amount of taxes in the account, Dai Zhou has seen the account books of Mojia Village with his own eyes, and the income of the entire Mojia Village has risen sharply, and the taxes collected in the future will be higher and higher.

"This is naturally not going back, I want to ask, what is the tax rate of Datang's tax?" Merton asked, of course he didn't think he was taking more, but he was collecting less!

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, all commercial taxes are thirty and one." The middle-aged account clerk said proudly.

"Thirty taxes one!" Merton was suddenly in a trance, compared to the tax of about 20 percent in later generations, it was simply too much less.

What Morton didn't know was that although the taxes of the Tang Dynasty were much lighter than those of later generations, the average of 4,000 people in the Tang Dynasty supported one official, and in the Qing Dynasty, it soared directly to 400 people to support one official.

As for the Celestial Empire, hehe! Therefore, Datang's collection of 30 taxes is indeed reasonable.

The money has always been 1,000 yuan, and it is more than 10,000 yuan, which is an astronomical amount, even if the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been prepared, it is a new four-wheeled carriage customized by Mojia Village, with an astonishing carrying capacity, and it is enough to pull as many as ten carts.

"I have heard for a long time that the Mo family in Chang'an City has the means of the god of wealth, and it really lives up to its reputation." Dai Xuan smiled, with this more than 10,000 yuan, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will definitely be able to support the collection of summer grain.

And the people in the entire Mofu are like mourning and examining, Mojia Village has just been lifted out of poverty for only half a year, and the predicament of hunger and cold is still fresh in my memory.

Ziyi looked like he wanted to cry, he looked like he was loveless, Mo Er and the others secretly wiped their tears while helping the Ministry of Civil Affairs to load money, although Fu Bo barely kept calm, but how could the sight of his eyes be inseparable from the money of the whole ten carriages.

"Let Master Dai see it smile." Merton smiled wryly.

Dai Xuan waved his hand and said: "The old man has seen countless people who love money, and there are countless more than this, which is normal. ”

Dai Zhou also used to be a grassroots official, compared with some ugly cases of tax evasion and tax evasion in every possible way, Mojia Village's move is already commendable.

"Lord Qiqi, the taxes of Mojia Village have been paid, and the approval is correct." The middle-aged bookkeeper nodded and said.

"Okay, give a receipt to Lord Mo, and go home immediately." With a wave of his big hand, Dai Xuan said that he was about to return with a full load of money.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came, and I saw a green-clothed Chang'an County Commander rushing in from the main gate, followed by a group of officials from the Chang'an County Ya.

"Su Luosheng, what does this just mean?" Dai Xuan said coldly, calling the name of the Chang'an County Order.

"Mojia Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, and collecting taxes is a small county's due thing, how can you bother Shangguan to do it himself." Chang'an County Ling Su Luosheng was humble in his mouth, and his subordinates were merciless, firmly controlling the road of the carriage.

If the Ministry of Civil Affairs collects taxes in person, then the Chang'an County Government will not be able to collect a penny, and if the Chang'an County Government collects taxes, it will naturally be able to intercept a part.

Su Luosheng's eyes sparkled as he looked at the money cars in front of him, and his heart suddenly breathed short, in fact, not only the Ministry of Civil Affairs needed money, but there were countless places where the huge city of Chang'an City needed money.

Bagatelle?

Dai Xuan couldn't help but feel angry, if he could collect tens of thousands of taxes a day, he could not be this Shangshu, and he would be willing to collect taxes every day.

However, what Su Luosheng said is also reasonable, usually taxes are collected by the county, and then distributed to various states and counties by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but this involves too many problems.

Xu Jie explained the reason in a low voice to Merton, and Merton suddenly realized that this was not the common local and central struggle for financial power in later generations.

"Su County ordered this matter not to bother you, and in the future, the taxes of Mojia Village will be directly collected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Dai Xuan waved his hand.

"Dai Shangshu's words are wrong, how can the world collect taxes directly from the Ministry of People's Affairs, if so, then why do you need a small county! In the future, the taxes of the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty were collected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in person. Su Luosheng couldn't help but sneer, he was able to sit firmly in Chang'an County, and he was not afraid of Dai Xuan at all, and he had made remarkable achievements recently because of the city's early warning system, which was the critical juncture of promotion, and it was the time when money was needed to build political achievements, so he naturally did not give an inch, not to mention that the tax payment in Mojia Village was an astronomical amount every year, how could he let it go.

Dai Xuan also froze for a while when he heard this, and asked him to rely on the people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to go to the entire Datang to collect taxes, which is simply a fantasy, so if you want to collect taxes, you still have to rely on these county orders.

The two were at loggerheads, and neither was willing to budge in the face of such a huge amount of wealth, and it was also related to the continuous payment of taxes in the future.

"If the Lord is here, then see to whom the Lord is willing to give the tax? Can? Dai Xuan turned the finger at Merton, who believed that he was a master after all, and that Merton would definitely make a wise choice.

Merton suddenly wanted to scold his mother, one was Lord Shangshu, the other was a county official and the current manager, didn't he let him roast on the fire?

Su Luosheng also wanted to understand the level, and it was not impossible for him to have an advantage in terms of advantages, so he nodded in agreement with Dai Guan's idea.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the expenses of the imperial court, and there must be many urgent places where money is urgently needed." Merton Road.

Dai Xuan nodded suddenly, and secretly said that the Mo family went up, and looked at Su Luo's face proudly.

However, Merton's tone changed and said: "And Chang'an City is the imperial capital, which is related to the face of the Tang Dynasty, and the daily maintenance and management is even more expensive." ”

Su Luosheng's face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny.

Dai Xuan suddenly secretly scolded Merton, a little catfish, for being slippery, and even wanted to offend both, so he couldn't help but snort angrily: "According to what you say, there is no solution!" ”

Merton shook his head and said, "It's not that there is no way. ”

"Oh, tell me about it?" Dai Xuan said.

"Since ancient times, the struggle between the Ministry of Civil Affairs and local financial power has never stopped, the Ministry of Civil Affairs collects more, the local government is in dire straits, and if the Ministry of Civil Affairs collects less, the country will be weak." Merton hit the nail on the head.

Dai Xuan is an economic master, and of course he knows what Merton said.

"From a boy's point of view, the tax revenue of a county is generally limited, if the tax of a county is divided according to a certain proportion, a large part of the tax is directly charged into the state treasury, called the national tax by the Ministry of Civil Affairs unified allocation, and the other part is left in the locality, called the local tax, as the local public money. In this way, we can not only ensure the stability of the financial resources of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but also solve the danger of local difficulties. Although it was not as detailed as that of later generations, compared with the local tax collection of the Tang Dynasty, the rough tax system planned by the Ministry of Civil Affairs was much stronger.

Su Luosheng's eyes lit up suddenly, he just intercepted this batch of taxes and finally had to hand over the majority of the taxes to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the taxes spent also had to be reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, besides, Dai Xuan was Shangguan after all, he couldn't keep going up, he had a tough attitude just now and had no choice but to do it, otherwise the Ministry of Civil Affairs would dominate it, and it wouldn't be certain if the money fell on anyone's head.

It would be best if, as Merton put it, the norm and the freedom to dispose of some of the finances and taxes.

"National tax, local tax." The more Dai Zhou thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, only to open a new tax door, in the process of his previous tax collection, but clearly felt the resistance from the locality, if this is divided, as long as there is a place to collect taxes, it is indispensable for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to pay taxes, and it can stimulate the local government to actively collect taxes, because the more taxes, the more financial rights the local government has.

"Marquis Mo really deserves to be the pillar of the country, the national tax and the local tax, the old man will definitely go to the court and let the court discuss." Dai Xuan said solemnly.

"Lord Dai has won the award, but the kid is just a dispute between the two, and he really doesn't dare to take credit." Merton said modestly.

"Lord Mo doesn't have to be too humble, if this law is passed, it will definitely be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty." Su Luosheng said with emotion that the central government will take away the financial power in a unified manner, and the local government will be stretched thin with money, even if she has political ambitions, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Su County Order, since the official personally collects these taxes, it is naturally impossible to deliver them to you, but what you have done before, the official can give you permission to do this now, and you can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs tomorrow to receive the money. As for the future taxation of Mojia Village, it will be decided after the official plays the law of the imperial court on this tax division. Dai Xuan said with a final word.

"Obey the orders of the Lord!" Su Luosheng said solemnly.
