Chapter 214: Can't Open the Pot
Facts have proved that what should come will always come, and it is not okay to be lucky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The day after Xiao Jing returned to Puhua Town, the county tax collector visited him again, presumably because he heard the news.
Xiao Jing didn't really want to deal with the other party. The most important thing for him right now is Miss Xia's business!
However, no matter what, everyone is coming, and he still has to deal with it in a humble way.
After welcoming people in, Dong Xiaoya served tea, and the editors and reporters who were still in the office collectively avoided it.
The tax collector said with a smile: "Childe is really hard to find." I can see it today, Yue is really fortunate in three lives. Back then, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain but only looked at the thatched house, and I had heard that Gongzi was a young talent of my Darui Dynasty, so when I looked at it, it was really extraordinary. ”
Although his words were not angry, they were barely polite. At least, he hasn't used the government to oppress people.
Xiao Jing said lukewarmly: "False praise." A few days ago, Xiao went out for something, and he only came to Puhua Town yesterday, which made you work hard. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with your visit to the newspaper? ”
The tax collector nodded and said: "The son is so happy, and Yue Mou doesn't say secret words: the mirror newspaper not only has many readers, but also seems to have a lot of experience in collecting money." Far from it, just a few recent advertising promotions, its income is thousands of taels. There is so much money, it is really staggering, and how many people envy it can't be envied. However, has the prince ever thought about the world and the court? ”
He pretended to sigh deeply and said in a deep voice: "Wealth is a major matter of the country, and it must not be taken lightly. If there are no regular taxes and miscellaneous taxes, how will the government operate? How should places like the Nursing Home, the Anjifang, and the Salesian Bureau survive? Beihu has been convicted of crimes for many years, and the Mirror also reported the tragedy in Linzhou. If the tax is insufficient, the treasury will not be able to produce food and money; If you can't get money and food, you can only let those Beihu people who are inferior to beasts wreak havoc in the world of the Darui Dynasty and poison the people of Darui. But who is not indignant when he is a righteous man? ”
Saying that, he sighed and said earnestly: "Xiao Gongzi is a benevolent and righteous man praised by the people, and Yue often hears about the righteous deeds of the Mirror News. In this case, why didn't Gongzi take the lead in paying taxes to the newspaper and contribute to the Darui Dynasty? ”
Xiao Jing's heart was sneering.
This surnamed Yue can also be regarded as a salute before a soldier. First know the righteousness, and then put a high hat on the mirror, and you can't obey the moral kidnapping.
However, he said it quite reasonably, and it seems that he has done some homework on the matter of the mirror newspaper, and he is definitely prepared.
Xiao Jing had a "deep" expression on his face, and said earnestly: "What you said is extremely true. Since you have read the Mirror, you know the purpose of the Mirror. Our newspaper should help the poor and the poor, and also do some modest efforts for the imperial court to contribute to the Darui Dynasty. Taxation is naturally a matter of duty, and Xiao has no reason to refuse. ”
Paying taxes according to the law is an obligation!
Of course, Xiao Jing understands this truth.
It is understandable that the newspaper was approached to collect taxes in the Darui Dynasty, after all, the construction of the tax legal system in this era is not perfect, what should be taxed, in what form of taxation, and what the type of tax is called, all relevant personnel have the final say, and those who are not yet on the tax items can also make it up for you, Xiao Jing can't be the master at all.
As for other links, such as circulation and consignment sales, whether there will be people running to collect taxes, he doesn't care.
Therefore, Xiao Jing did not intend to evade taxes from the beginning, and he was only dissatisfied with the high tax rate of 30%.
As for the lofty and comprehensive purpose of "keeping the world in mind and taking the common people of the world as their own responsibility", there is no need to talk to a tax collector. These words were uttered by the literati and scholars with impassioned and pride, and others would only applaud and praise your ambition when they heard it; If it were said by a young man like him who was a white man in a newspaper company, others would have to examine his ambitions with suspicion and ask "what is the purpose of saying these taboo words?"
Whom you see, who speaks, and who sings on what mountain...... After being the president for more than a year, he finally looks like a leader.
Hearing what President Xiao said, the tax collector surnamed Yue nodded with satisfaction. This person is still quite good, he can get through it a little bit, and he can be taught!
He looked at Xiao Jing with appreciative eyes and said, "Childe is really a reasonable person. ”
Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes and replied, "Don't dare." Xiao still wants to ask, I don't know how this tax is collected? ”
The master wanted to pretend to be confused, and the tax collector naturally cooperated. He pretended to have never told anyone before and stretched out three fingers: "Not much, as long as thirty percent!" ”
You're too thick-skinned, aren't you? Sancheng still dares to tell me not much!
Xiao Jing, who was embarrassed, slowly lowered his head, as if he was considering the other party's words.
The tax collectors were not in a hurry. Based on previous experience, the vast majority of people give in after careful consideration. After all, he represents the government, and as long as he is begging for food on this one-third of an acre of land in Tai'an County, he can't help but look at the county's face.
So, he crossed Erlang's legs and picked up the teacup with great interest. didn't wait for Xiao Jing to ask for tea, he blew and drank it to himself, and he didn't think of himself as an outsider.
However, as soon as the tea was in his mouth, his face changed.
What the hell is this?
The tea in the cup smelled of no aroma, I thought it was the kind of sweet and mellow in the mouth, but who knew that the tea was not only bitter, but also had a large rusty smell.
Lao Yue usually makes a lot of money, and he has drunk a lot of all kinds of good tea. Such unpleasant tea was simply devastating to the palate, and he was already very delicate and disgusted.
With a "poof", a mouthful of tea was sprayed to the ground by him very unvividly.
Xiao Jing hurriedly "shocked" and said, "What's wrong with you?" Could it be ...... Is the tea bad?
Lao Yue, who was still coughing, nodded with difficulty.
Xiao Jing tried to take a sip, and also made a bitter gourd face, and said with annoyance: "Oh, it's really slow, where can you entertain guests with this broken tea?" Xiaoya, Xiaoya! Hurry up! ”
Soon, Dong Xiaoya pushed the door and came in. Xiao Jing feigned anger and said: "Xiaoya, you are usually very careful, how did you do this?" What about our tea? Why do you give this inferior tea to your guests? ”
Dong Xiaoya said with grievances: "Son, there is not much money left in the family." Some time ago, there were too many guests, and all the good tea was drunk, and the slave family had no choice. If I go to buy tea again, I'm afraid that I will ...... I'm just afraid ......"
Xiao Jing waved his hand impatiently, and said very arrogantly: "What are you afraid of, don't be verbose, Lao Yue is not an outsider." Say! ”
Dong Xiaoya secretly glanced at Lao Yue before saying, "I won't be able to open the pot at home!" ”
