This is almost the question in the hearts of everyone present, and now that Zhou Boxian asked it, he couldn't help but nod in unison. Jiang is still old and spicy, and it is indeed not easy to be able to take charge of the Zhou family after favoring Zhang Liang and offending Fang Jun, but still being able to become a guest of the opening of the city.

As for Pei Xingjian's "must register shops in Huating Town", no one mentioned it......

It stands to reason that since it is a shop under the city's shipping department, why should it be registered in Huating Town? Although the address of the city is in Huating Town, but the two yamen can not interfere with the river water, Huating Town is Fang Jun's private fiefdom, and the city is the imperial court yamen!

But everyone knows that since a "deposit" is involved, it is obvious that Fang Jun is pretending to be a public servant in it, and there must be something unspeakable.

It's just that these are some hidden rules that belong to the officialdom, as long as it doesn't hurt the interests of the business, who cares?

The question now is what the deposit is, whether it should be paid or not, and it doesn't matter who it is handed over......

Pei Xingjian was still full of spring breeze, and said to Zhou Boxian: "Zhou Shibo, please take a seat, and this official will tell you something." ”

When Zhou Boxian sat down, Pei Xingjian looked at the crowd and said loudly: "The so-called security deposit is called 'legal operation deposit', and the collection rules of the deposit are five percent of the annual business quota of each shop. This deposit will automatically flow into the royal bank, if the shop operates in violation of regulations or even participates in smuggling, then at the same time as the imperial court disposes of it according to law, the deposit will be confiscated, and the shop's maritime trade qualification will be permanently banned. If the shop is law-abiding and reasonable, at the end of each year, there will be a 10% interest refund. If the shop intends to cancel the sea trade business, it only needs to submit an application, and the deposit will be returned in full at the same time as the sea trade qualification is cancelled. ”

The people present were all human spirits, and as soon as Pei Xingjian said this, they all understood.

After doing it for a long time, I just want everyone to pay a deposit in advance, as a way to restrain the honest legal operation, and this huge amount of security deposit is gone!

If anyone has a wide door and can apply for a shop place again after being banned, then it is okay to pay another deposit......

But is that all there is to it?

They are all big people who have at least tens of thousands or even millions of dollars of money flowing in their hands every year, and they are naturally extremely sensitive to such a huge sum of money, and almost instantly think of another great use of this deposit.

Replenish the treasury of the Royal Bank!

Although this is a little unfair to the merchants, after all, Fang Jun guarantees a 10% return of interest every year, and besides, this is an endorsement of His Majesty the Emperor's bank, who dares to say that it can't be said?

Don't want to mess around, you......

Someone stood up and asked, "Dare to ask Pei Shi's envoy, since the amount of the deposit is five percent of the annual business quota, if we are required to pay this deposit now, how will it be calculated?" After all, now that the market has just been operated, we don't know how much sales will be. ”

"It's very simple, you can estimate by yourself, pay in advance, if the transaction amount exceeds the amount estimated now, you must pay it in turn from the date of excess, every 10,000 yuan is a unit, if you conceal it, you will be severely punished! Similarly, if the amount of margin paid is more than the proportion of the annual trading quota, it will be refunded at the end of the year. ”

Seeing that there was no more problem, Pei Xingjian began to speak.

Next, there is the most important issue of tax rates!

"After the consultation of the ministers of the political affairs hall, the tax rate of the city department is 2 ...... per ten"

"Boom!"

Now it's not a lot of discussions, but an uproar in the audience!

Two out of ten?

The tyranny of the Dead Qin is not so outrageous!

Immediately, someone stood up angrily and said, "Ridiculous! Every ten draws two, unheard of heavy taxes! You live in a temple, don't know about business, don't know about the people's suffering, and actually propose such a ridiculous tax rate, it's a joke for the ages! Don't you want to suck our flesh and blood dry? In this way, you might as well take away the head of a certain item, even if you die, you will never bow to such a harsh government! ”

The intensity of the words made the hall suddenly quiet.

Everyone looked at this person, and they couldn't help but scold you for having a sick brain?

The operation of the City Division is already unstoppable, it is useless to resist, so many bigwigs in the court have not changed His Majesty's mind, everyone has to grit their teeth and admit it!

If you think the tax rate is high, you can express it well, although Fang Jun's mallet will definitely not care what you say...... But you can't talk like that!

Who is Fang Junna?

The world's No. 1 mallet!

Do you think that if you speak fiercely and look at death as home, then Fang Jun will be afraid? Miss by a mile! Do you believe that Fang Jun not only will not lower the tax rate, but even dare to turn two out of ten into four every time?

That guy is a donkey, you have to follow the hair, isn't this choking forcing him to be stubborn!

Pei Xingjian was furious and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Fang Jun.

Fang Jun was expressionless, looked at the impassioned person, and asked lightly, "Your Excellency was there last time when Yantian auctioned shares, right?" ”

Everyone was shocked, including the one who spoke, they didn't expect Fang Jun's memory to be so good, and the number of people who lived here more than half a year ago was not much less than today, Fang Jun could still remember everyone who attended?

This is also incredible!

But thinking about Fang Jun's reputation as a "Tang Dynasty Writer", he is relieved. If you don't have this ability to remember, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve such a high level of literary attainment, right?

The man was a little weak-hearted, and his tone was a lot respectful: "Hou Ye has a good memory, and he is indeed present here." ”

Fang Jun nodded and said, "In that case, you should know Benhou's rules." ”

The man was stunned: "What rules?" ”

Fang Jun said: "Before everyone asks or answers, they must raise their hands first, and they can only continue after getting permission, and they must report to their homes." ”

Is there a rule?

Everyone thought about it, but couldn't remember.

The man was not angry: "Brother Zhou, who was just envious of the Zhou family, did not report to his family. ”

Zhou Boxian glared, Nima!

Something to say, why are you dragging me into the water?

Shameless!

Fang Jun said disapprerovingly: "That's because Ben Hou and Brother Zhou are familiar with each other, but who knows who you are?" ”

Everyone is speechless, are you playing tricks on your face?

The man was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "The head of the Wucheng Yu family ......"

Fang Jun interrupted impatiently: "Who has time to listen to you report your home?" You didn't report it just now, but now you don't need to report it, if you don't follow my rules, then please go out. The two brothers of the Gu family were like this back then, and you are no exception today. Come on, throw it out! ”

"No!"

Two wolf-like soldiers quickly stepped forward, grabbed the man's two arms and dragged them out. The man tried to speak, but was dragged out like a dead dog by a soldier who covered his mouth and dragged him out.

Everyone in the hall was not surprised, this was very "Fang Jun"......

There was a scream outside the hall, and the head of the Wucheng Yu clan was thrown down dozens of steps in front of the city's Yamen by two soldiers.

You must know that the square below is paved with blue bricks, and it is very hard......

An official behind Fang Jun came up and whispered beside Fang Jun in a low voice: "That person is Yu Yunxiang, the head of the Wucheng Yu clan, and his sister used to be the maid of Xu Jingzong's original wife in the province, Xu Jingzong's original wife died, and this maid became the ...... of the stepfamily."

Fang Jun was slightly stunned, this is still Xu Jingzong's brother-in-law?

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson Empress died. During the funeral of the eldest grandson of the queen, Xu Jingzong laughed when he saw that Ouyang Xun was ugly, and was exposed by the imperial history, and His Majesty Li Er was furious and demoted him to the Hongzhou Governor's Mansion as Sima.

However, in the end, it was the old courtier who followed the left and right when His Majesty Li Er was long, and later he was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the provincial minister and repair the history of the country.

The subordinate province is placed in Shilang, and his status is second only to that of Huangmen Shilang, with a total of four people, who are in charge of reading the case and have great power.

The relationship between Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong is not harmonious, the old man has a bad stomach, and he makes trouble for Fang Jun, the two are disgusted with each other, and they are very unacute......

After thinking about it, Fang Jun said to the officer: "Take Ben Hou's name card to Suzhou Assassin Mansion, and ask Mu Ming Mansion to send someone to check this Yu family, if there is nothing to do with the traitor, if there is, it must be strictly investigated!" ”

The commissioner was stunned for a moment, hurriedly agreed, and walked away quickly through the side door with a hunched body.

The people in the hall were dumbfounded.

Fang Jun just ordered the official to say a lot of words, many people heard it clearly, and couldn't help but sweat wildly, this Fang Jun really can't be offended!

There is no one as crazy as him, even if you want to clean up the Yu family, just do it secretly behind your back, and be guilty of saying it in such a public? It's clearly an example of killing chickens and monkeys! Besides, if the assassin of a state wants to clean up, who else will need to investigate the traitorous crime?

Not only the Yu family, but there is one person here, if it is really investigated, who dares to say that he is innocent and law-abiding, and there is no mistake at all?

Yu's death is done!

This is everyone's consensus, even if there is one in their family who serves as a subordinate minister in the court. It is said that Xu Jingzong has profound qualifications, and he is a veteran who followed His Majesty from the Qin Palace, but after so many years, the "Eighteen Bachelors" of the Qin Palace, who was not a high-ranking official, but he was still a small giver, which shows how much this person is not treated by His Majesty, you must know that His Majesty is the one who values the old love!

Such an unpopular giver can beat Jane's Fang Jun in the emperor's heart?

Pei Xingjian knocked on the table, waited until it was quiet, and continued: "You may be dissatisfied with such a tax rate, thinking that the tax rate is too heavy, making it unprofitable for everyone. The main purpose of the Hou Ye's proposal to His Majesty to establish the City Ship Division was to increase the tax revenue of the imperial court, but it did not seem to increase the burden on everyone. Therefore, on the basis of keeping the tax rate at two out of ten, Hou Ye has already advised His Majesty that all merchants holding the tax payment certificate of the city and the ship, the batch of goods paid will travel smoothly to the north and south of the river, a batch of goods, a kind of tax, and the tax of Guanjin on the way does not need to be paid! ”

"Boom!"

This time there was neither discussion nor exclamations in the hall, but a complete explosion!

One batch of goods, one kind of tax, all the taxes on Guanjin will be abolished?

God!

It's not a joke, is it?

All the businessmen here are going crazy!

In history, the commercial tax has never been perfected, but it is the world's first-class heavy tax! Why is that? It's because the tax of Guanjin is too heavy!

What is the tax on the Kanjin?

Local state governments will set up checkpoints along the way through the waterway, and all commercial fires at the border must pay taxes and fees, and sometimes even pedestrians have to pay taxes. What's more, whenever you go to a place, when you enter the city, there will be a local government at the city gate to collect taxes and fees according to the value of the goods.

As a result, although the commercial tax has never been explicitly taxed, it often makes the tax rate reach the equivalent or even far exceed the value of the goods!

The reason why businessmen oppose Fang Jun's taxation is precisely this, this way the mountain gods and ghosts have to pay countless taxes and fees to pass the card, which has led to the high value of the goods, and the profits are getting lower and lower, although the cost can be imposed on the consumer, but the high price of the goods will inevitably lead to a decrease in sales, and anyone will calculate this account!

You have another layer of skin here, who can stand it?

But what do you hear now?

In addition to the tax fee of 2 out of 10, you don't have to pay a penny of tax?

That's a great thing!

There was chaos in the hall.

In fact, there was no shortage of people of insight who could see the mystery at a glance.

In the past, taxes and fees were twice as high as the goods, but where did all this money go? They were all intercepted by the government along the way of transporting goods, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to put the money into their pockets and then take it out, so the tax money that finally entered the treasury of the imperial court and the Ministry of Civil Affairs was not saved.

And the emergence of Fang Jun's new tax rate, which seems to have greatly reduced the tax rate, has actually increased the tax revenue of the imperial court by more than ten times!

The tax revenue of the imperial court increased, and the tax revenue of merchants decreased, which is the so-called killing two birds with one stone.

Only those governments along the way, the countless checkpoints set up in vain, but a large amount of tax was charged. If this new tax law is really implemented in the world, it will inevitably make commerce prosper to a large extent, and all localities will be able to communicate with each other, and it will also make the national tax revenue leap to several levels.

Of course, some people rejoice, and some people worry.

The tax money withheld by the local government has always been the source of corruption in various places, and if it is extinguished in one fell swoop, Fang Jun is afraid that he will become the scapegoat of the imperial court and bear the anger of countless officials in the world......

But would Fang Jun be afraid of this?

Apparently not!

People's ambition is to become a generation of famous ministers who shine in the annals of history and will be famous through the ages!

What is a little abuse and complaining compared to this unique feat?

Fang Jun on the main seat was indifferent, looking at the noisy crowd under the stage, a strong sense of pride arose.

If the country is not strong, how can the people become rich?

Without the support of a large number of tax revenues, it is impossible for a country to develop rapidly. Perhaps in the eyes of the vast majority of people in this era, today's Datang is already prosperous and magnificent, but for Fang Jun, the difference is too far!

The infrastructure of the city, the health care of the farmers, the level of education of the people, the importance of science and technology, and so on.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard......
