Compared with Huang Yidao, He Xian is obviously more upright.

The county lord personally came to guide the work, and the master of He accompanied him with 10,000 careful, and answered all questions.

Such a cooperative attitude naturally satisfied Ning Xiu.

Since Ning Xiu had already let Huang Yidao grasp the work of taxation, he handed over the work of culture and education to He Xian.

He Xianwei resignedly. Ning Xiu comforted a few words, and then went to Cui Yan.

Cui Dianshi is an old man in Xiangshan County, older than Huang Yidao and He Xian.

People like him are the most likely to see the wind and the rudder.

Before Ning Xiu came to Xiangshan County, Huang Yidao had specifically looked for him once, which meant to form an alliance and cooperate.

Cui Yan was supposed to be down at that time. After all, Huang Rudao also has some means, and those who are not familiar with the new county order when they first come to Xiangshan County may not be able to fight this old fox.

Ke Ningxiu arrived in Xiangshan County in just one or two days, and Cui Yan was deeply impressed.

In Cui Yan's opinion, although this person is young, he is very urban, and he is so orderly that people can't make mistakes.

Such people are extremely terrifying.

Cui Yan heard that Ning County Ling was Qi Shaobao's fast son-in-law. I'm not sure, but I have some scruples in my heart.

Before Ning Xiu came to him today, Cui Yan was actually biased towards Ning Xiu.

After Ning Xiu arrived at Cui Yan's office, he first exchanged a few words of greeting, and then changed the conversation and talked about work.

The history of the canon is mainly to arrest a county public security prison lawsuit, which is nothing to say. Ning Xiu, however, believes that the work of canonical history is not limited to this.

He felt the need to set up a card in Xiangshan County to collect taxes, and the target of taxes was Macao merchants.

Macao and Xiangshan County are separated by only one Pearl River, which can be described as adjacent.

Since the lease of Macau, there have been many businessmen who have traveled between the two places. Ning Xiu once asked the Hufang Clerk's Office, and the county government had never collected taxes on these merchants, because there was no precedent.

Ning Xiu naturally didn't think so.

The tax policy of the Ming Dynasty itself was problematic. To sum it up, that is, only the agricultural tax is important, not the commercial tax, and the commercial tax is still the thirty tax set by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the Wanli Dynasty, and in many cases it cannot be collected.

This is also why Emperor Chongzhen collected only two or three million taels of taxes a year before the Ming Dynasty collected Liao.

Macau's geographical location is unique, and there are abundant business opportunities for a Europa who is good at business.

Ning Xiu felt the need to give it a try.

In fact, not all of the taxes collected by the administrative agencies at the county level are handed over to the state, and some of them will be withheld for the operation of the yamen, which is equivalent to local taxes.

Ning Xiu planned to take out this part of the tax levied on the merchants of Macao separately for this purpose.

Cui Dianshi, that waterfall Khan.

The county lord really thinks that ordinary people dare not think of it. Regardless of the Franco's merchant collecting taxes, I'll be obedient.

"County Zun, don't you know, this Franc machine man is rented here."

"This official naturally knows, but this official is collecting commercial taxes in Xiangshan County, why not? Besides, the Francophone is only a lease, and the sovereignty is still mine. ”

"Lord, sovereign?"

Cui Dianshi's eyes widened, obviously not understanding what the word sovereignty meant.

"To put it simply, it is administrative, financial, military, cultural and other dominance."

Ning Xiu paused and said, "Although you set up a card to collect taxes, if there are people who are not satisfied, you can call them to come to the official." ”

Okay, the county lord has said everything to this point, and Cui Dianshi is naturally not good at saying anything, so he should answer with his mouth.

Ning Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the office with his hands behind his back.

......

......

This Ningxian order is indeed very unusual.

Zhao Guangning said with emotion.

According to several groups of merchants, as soon as they entered Xiangshan County, they were required to pay taxes, and only by paying taxes could they pass.

Zhao Guangning was the largest comprador merchant in Macau, and was inextricably linked with the Governor's Office of the Franc Machine, often moving goods between Macao and Guangzhou, and then transferring goods from the south to the north to sell.

The profits here are huge.

He had long been accustomed to such huge profits, and it was naturally uncomfortable to be pulled out suddenly.

What's more, the tax collected by Ning County is not low, one out of ten taxes!

Zhao Guangning squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about what to do.

Finally, he made up his mind to meet the young magistrate in person.

From Macao to Xiangshan County, it was only through a Xiangjiang River, and soon Zhao Guangning took two servants to Xiangshan County Yaqian.

Naturally, the officials recognized this comprador businessman who was well-known in Macao, and immediately went to the Houya to report it.

Soon the Ning County Order conveyed the order and took Zhao Guangning to the Houya Flower Hall to see tea.

Zhao Guangning followed the official all the way through the court and through the courtyard to the back office.

As soon as he sat down, before he could take two sips of tea, Ning Xiu paced in.

Zhao Guangning hurriedly got up and arched his hand towards Ning Xiu.

"The villain Zhao Guangning visited the county honor."

Ning Xiu waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Guangning to sit down.

"Outside Zhao Yuan, I heard that you are the largest businessman in Macau."

Ning Xiu didn't greet him either, and asked straight to the point.

Zhao Guangning was extremely embarrassed, but when Ning Xiu asked him this, he had no choice but to reply: "The lord praised it falsely, the villain is just going close to the Governor's Mansion of the Franc Ji to make some small profits and eat." ”

He seemed to be humble, but in fact, he used this opportunity to show Ning Xiu his strength - I am from the Governor's Mansion of the Franc Machine.

How could Ning Xiu not hear his off-string sounds?

He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I heard that Zhao Yuanwai made Nanyang goods?" ”

Zhao Guangning nodded.

"Guangdong is located at the southern end of the Ming Dynasty, and its geographical location is unique. When it comes to doing business in Nanyang, I am afraid there is no more suitable business than Guangdong and Fujian. ”

"It's very profitable to take an order, right?"

"Ahem, no more, no more."

Zhao Guangning had the face of a businessman, for fear that Ning Xiu would ask him for filial piety.

"This county is shepherded on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the matter of taxation is naturally not a child's play. Therefore, the official set up a card in Xiangshan County to collect taxes on correspondents. ”

Zhao Guangning swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in his heart, he finally got to the point.

"My lord, the villain is shallow, but it seems that the Ming Dynasty has never levied commercial taxes on Macao merchants."

Ning Xiu said in his heart, this guy is really cunning. After the franc machine rented Macao, he would give the imperial court a sum of money every year, that is, the lease fee, and there was indeed no additional commercial tax in addition. Just because you can't have it before doesn't mean you can't have it in the future.

It wasn't unreasonable before, but now it's going in the direction of rationalization.

"Can Zhao Yuanwai have a table?"

Ning Xiu suddenly changed his words.

Zhao Guangning was stunned, obviously not understanding why the county lord suddenly asked about his cousin.

"The villain is the word Runtian."

"Runtian, what a word."

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "Then Runtian, do you know who this land belongs to under your feet?" ”

"Naturally belongs to the Ming court, long live my emperor..."

Zhao Guangning faintly felt that something was wrong.
