Chapter 99: The Poor Dagger

The Dahua merchant tax is collected in the city gate, and the goods enter the city, and three out of a hundred. The tax system is relatively simple.

Open the door to do business in the city, for example, you do catering, buy raw materials in the city, and sell them in the city. There is no tax.

Because your raw materials have already been collected when you enter the city. Also, your sales amount, with the ability of the Dahua government, cannot be monitored and managed. So don't charge it.

This also makes some sense, rice, cotton, etc., are all grown in the ground. The land, all outside the city.

Take cotton, cloth as an example. No matter whether cotton enters the city, or weaves cloth outside the city and then enters the city, it cannot escape paying taxes once. It's just that the tax standards are different, cotton is cheaper, and finished products are more expensive.

After the cloth was made, the large dyeing workshops were outside the city, and there was nothing to do when they went out of the city. After dyeing the cloth, it has to be brought back to the city for sale, which will be taxed again. The better the cloth, the more it has to go into the city to be marketable. This tax can't be avoided.

Qin Feng said: "Nanchang Mansion is a big mansion, and the commercial tax is 300,000 yuan, so the goods entering the city are estimated to be 10 million taels of silver." If a large number of merchants go to business, Nanchang will inevitably have more goods pouring in. If the goods are doubled, then the Nanchang commercial tax will also be doubled. Mr. Shu, yes and no? ”

"The militias provide protection, and the banks provide the silver. Naturally, there are a large number of merchants who are willing to do business, and there will be a shortage of goods in the city, which is good! Indeed, there will be a large influx of goods. I didn't expect banks to be so useful. Shu Zicheng praised.

"Therefore, the militia and the bank are indispensable." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"I thought that you established the militia to do business for yourself. I didn't expect it to benefit many businesses. Isn't it more profitable to go into business by yourself? "Shu Zicheng.

"If all the money in the world belongs to one person. How can the world tolerate him? Qin Feng said with a smile: "When it comes to porcelain trading, I am not as good as a kiln helper. When it comes to pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, I am not as good as a merchant of writing and ink. Leather and grass, cloth and grain, each row has its own doorway. I can't do so much on my own. It is better to leave the trade to the merchant to do, and I provide protection, money. When they make money, they put it in the bank. I can also lend money to people who open restaurants and green houses. Didn't Chief Lu always want to open the Shilin Branch? Lend him 100,000 taels of silver, and charge him 20,000 taels of interest a year. Hehe, Mr. Shu, this is already an excellent deal. “

Slap, slap, slap, Shu Zicheng grabbed the reins between his fingers, gave Qin Feng a slap, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this bank is still so good." I, Shu Zicheng, have also met a lot of business wizards, and compared with you, that is fireflies and starlight! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Shu, just said that it can increase taxes for Jiangxi. I would like to give Mr. Shu a guarantee that for a period of one year, if Nanchang's tax revenue cannot be increased by 300,000 taels. How about I make it up? Qin Feng turned his head sideways and gave Shu Zicheng a mysterious smile. Instead of asking you to knock me on the silver bamboo pole, I would like to draw you a big pie.

Moreover, banks already have a role to play in facilitating commerce. Qin Feng's previous statement was exactly what he would do in the future.

"Haha, Captain Qin is really fast-talking, and it is not in vain that Governor Shu cares for you. However, your bank, first of all, has to have someone to deposit the bank. This problem can't be solved in a while, right? Can a bank prosper in a year? Can you double Nanchang's tax revenue? Is Regiment Leader Qin courageous? Or is it in the chest? "Shu Zichenggui is a staff member of the governor of a province, how can he be fooled by you in a few words? The pie is big, but you have to show me that you have the flour and the filling.

Drawn, don't count!

Qin Feng put away his smile and said, "It depends on whether Shilin Academy and Jinyiwei can help me collect the cleaning and sanitation management fees." ”

Shu Zicheng was a little confused, and blurted out: "What does the bank have to do with cleaning and sanitation fees?" “

"In order to ensure that there are no indiscriminate charges, not too many charges, all the rich families who pay the fees, the families of merchants. You can only go to the bank to open a bank account! Sign a contract and deposit two taels in advance. The bank will automatically deduct the cleaning fee on a monthly basis and transfer it to the account of the militia group! Qin Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Shu, in this way, they will be able to appreciate the benefits and convenience of the bank." Hey. At present, my bank has less than 100 people, and the location of operation is still Jia Jia Bu Bank. The site is too small, the staff is too small, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep busy by then. After all, just these rich and noble families, the merchants have accumulated, and there are 9,000 households! And these 9,000 households are still the richest families in Nanchang! Hehehe. “

Qin Feng smiled again, "If Mr. Shu has a bigger place, can you introduce it to me?" I bought it and opened a bank. ”

Shu Zicheng's face twitched: "You, your method, it's just, it's a stroke of genius!" However, Shilin Academy, why is Jinyiwei willing to help you in all its might? ”

Qin Feng was triumphant: "They each bought a hundred thousand taels of silver for one percent of the bank's shares." "Paper can't hold the fire, Qin Feng has always told the truth about things that can't be hidden.

"Father-in-law Wang gave 100,000 in silver?" Shu Zicheng looked incredulous. It seems that Wang's reputation is really not good.

Qin Feng explained: "I want him to be a brocade guard, and in the future, I will fully assist me in charging fees and running a bank." These were counted as labor, so I only charged him 40,000 taels of silver. ”

"You can get 40,000 taels of silver from him, you are really a talent!"

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Shu for the compliment."

"You just said that the Jia family's territory is too small. If you want me to help you find a place, okay! The Red Sleeve Courtyard is where you participate in the word meeting, and there is a lotus pond! The ground is wide, there are many rooms, and there is a view. You go there and open a bank. That's the Shujia Courtyard, sell it to you to open a bank! I won't calculate with you how much money is discounted. In the future, collect a cleaning fee and run a bank. The Shu family and Jinyiwei are as full as they can help you, and the treatment is the same, the bank and the Shu family also account for one percent. Shu Zicheng said twice, and said: "This matter, maybe there is no need to report it to the cabinet, Governor Shu has the right to approve it." What do you think? Hahahaha! ”

Looking at Qin Feng's bewildered expression, the smug energy just now was gone.

Shu Zicheng was in a good mood and laughed loudly. A kick in the horse's belly and a shake of the reins: "Ride!" "Gallop forward. Two cavalry guards also rode up to follow.

Smelling the sound outside, inside the incense car, the curtain opened, revealing Shu Yi's pretty face. looked at Shu Zicheng who was laughing and left, and then looked back at Qin Feng: "What's wrong with my uncle?" Laughing so happily? ”

"I've picked up a bargain, I'm proud, will I wrestle like this?" Changsha

Shu Yi glared at Qin Feng and said viciously, "You just wrestled!" You'll wrestle if you're so proud! Fuck your ass! Hum! "I was about to lower the curtains. Qin Feng said, "Wait, Miss Shu, I have something I want to ask you about." ”

"Say!"

"I'm going to buy a bigger house, but I don't know the market. I'll just ask, last time I went to the word meeting, what is the market value of the one in your courtyard, the one with the lotus pond? ”

"About 30,000 taels of silver." Shu Yi put down the curtain and said to Miss Jia: "Oh, he's going to ask you for a kiss, just now asked me about buying a house!" ”

There was a faint sound of laughter and laughter in the incense car......

Why should you be complacent, O man? Qin Feng pondered and introspected on the horse. He is not against Shujia's shareholding, which is only good for the bank, but he is against it, buying shares at a low price, disrupting the market.

The gathering places of the victims are scattered for the convenience of management. Moreover, it is not too far from Nanchang City. About four or five miles away.

Shu Zicheng must have come to inspect often, and he was familiar with the road, and led everyone straight to a small slope, and at the flat place below the slope, one tent after another was neat.

As Master Liu said, there are only officials and scribes who handle affairs in front of several rows of tables. There is no such thing as rich children making porridge.

The tent area for the victims is also well organized, and everyone is busy doing things. There are people who organize sundries, there are people who wash things, there are people who make fires and cook, and there are young people who are patrolling.

There are also people in the city who are volunteering to help, bringing clothes or other supplies to clean up. From time to time, when someone comes to donate clothes, they take it and check it, clean out some of it, and take it out for cleaning. If you don't need to wash it, put it on the other side, where there are people queuing up to pick it up.

There are also some children of the victims who play carefree in the open space.

Shu Yi held Jia Jingmin, crossed Qin Feng and Shu Zicheng, and looked back: "Go and see my shed." ”

Your family is also fleeing? Also shed?

Seeing the two girls walking to the side with the maid, Qin Feng and Shu Zicheng had to follow.

After walking half a mile, I saw a clearing with a long row of wooden sheds. In front of the shed, there were merchants directing the men to carry the goods, there were scribes counting the records, and everyone was doing things. It's a little bit away from the disaster area, and it's guarded and patrolled by heavily armed officers and sergeants.

Obviously, this is the Disaster Relief Materials Management Office.

Qin Feng asked as he walked, "All this is grain?" ”

"It's mostly food. There are also medicinal herbs, lime, licorice, etc. These substances are consumed every day. There are also daily necessities such as pots and pans, bedding, etc., anyway, if there is any need, make a list to the grain merchants, and they will bring it. Shu Zicheng said: "Disaster relief depends on silver. There is silver, and it is in order. There is no silver, but corpses are everywhere. “

The group walked through seven or eight greenhouses, Shu Yi stopped, pointed with a jade hand, and said triumphantly: "Qin Feng, look at this shed." ”

Qin Feng raised his eyes and saw that the left side of the greenhouse read: Fish and water are deeply concerned about the victims. On the right side: Shu Yi, the daughter of Jiangxi Governor Shu Tingxuan, donated 10,000 taels of silver!

Just put on a show, and pull people to watch? Just look at it, and point and shout for me to see. What to show off?

On the side at the end of the greenhouse, there are many victims lining up to receive materials, and after each team receives the materials, they have to pass in front of the greenhouse and return to the disaster area. At this time, a group of disaster victims who received supplies walked by, and under the leadership of the leader, everyone bowed three times to the greenhouse before leaving.

Shu Zicheng explained: "If you donate more than 1,000 taels of silver, you will build a shed here. Since people have donated silver, in addition to the records of the county, they have to let these people see it. I don't want to reciprocate my kindness, but I also have to say good. ”

Qin Feng nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Shu Yi pouted angrily and said to Qin Feng: "Look, the shed next to me was built by Sister Lu!" ”

Lu Wenman? Qin Feng's heart jumped. Reflex glanced at Jia Jingmin, hey, why is her face weird? Suspect I have thoughts about Lu Wenman? No, there is no murderous look in my eyes.

Qin Feng pretended to follow Shu Yi a few more steps at will, and sure enough, there was a greenhouse next to him, and it was written on the left: "Help each other through thick and thin, overcome hardships together." On the right side: Lu Wenman, the granddaughter of Lu Ming of Nanchang Shilin Academy, donated 10,000 taels of silver!

Qin Feng pursed his lips, where did these two young ladies come from? It's not given by the adults in the family, it not only gives the adults a reputation, but also shows off the girl's face! This show is done, tsk tsk, there is a level!

But in any case, even if it is a show, people have taken out real money, and they can only sing praises. Qin Feng said with a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Shu and Miss Lu to have such compassionate feelings. It can be a model for Nanchang celebrities! ”

"What about you? How much to donate? Seeing that Qin Feng was always looking at other things, Shu Yi finally tried to see the dagger.
