"Old Don, come out and count the vegetables. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "A middle-aged woman and a young man came back with a cart of vegetables, and when they arrived at their backyard, they shouted while unloading the vegetables from the car.

"It's coming, it's coming!" With this voice, a fat man walked in through the back door of the store with a scale in his hand. He has a round face and a more and more blessed figure, if he is an acquaintance, he can recognize him at a glance as Tang Bohe, the owner of Shandong Noodle Restaurant.

He took the vegetables he bought from his wife, Mo, and his buddies, weighed them about yao, and set them aside. Vegetables are stored in different places according to the type.

After a long while, when they were done, Mo Shi sat on the chair and gasped for breath, and complained, "What did the old lady do in her previous life?" ”

"In the past, in order to save money, I just did all the work myself, even if I was an apprentice, I had to take care of the food. Now that our family has made such a great contribution, the eldest son is a hereditary thousand-family, although he only sends a lot of money every month, and he also has a lot of money in the army. ”

"What's more, with the plaque of the first emperor and the care of His Majesty today, it doesn't matter if our family's business is not hot one day, why do I still have to do these jobs."

Tang Bohe didn't speak. He knew that in fact, it was the Mo family who couldn't be idle, so he still worked every day, otherwise with the current situation of their family, Tang Bohe would be able to let her work?

It's just that every time she finishes her work, she complains, and Tang Bohe is used to it, and sometimes she makes two jokes. It's just that today he was afraid that the account was wrong, so he didn't speak.

Mo didn't care, just complained. After a while, Tang Bohe finished settling the accounts, looked at his wife who was still dripping sweat on her forehead, and said with some distress: "Go back to the house and rest for a while, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and it is not good to rest on a chair." ”

Mo Shi waved his hand and said, "It's almost noon, people should come, how can you rest at this time." Wait until after noon when there are fewer people. ”

Tang Bohe couldn't strengthen her, so he could only let her go.

At this time, a guy came over from the front hall and said, "Boss, the police from the nearby police station are here again, and they came in today to say that they have something to tell you." ”

"Oh, I'll get over here." As he spoke, Tang Bohe gave a few more commands and walked back to the front hall.

When he walked back to the front hall, three policemen were sitting near a table and waiting, when they saw Tang Bohe coming over and hurriedly stood up.

Tang Bohe's eyes swept and he thought: "Two of them are police officers from the nearby police station I know, who is the left?" Haven't seen it? Newly transferred? But the style of the hat is not the same as that of the police at the police station? ’

"Hello three cops." He hid the doubts in his heart and smiled.

"The Tang family's business is booming." The two policemen also said with a smile. Another one I didn't know also said hello.

Tang Bohe pretended to be inadvertently and said to the policeman he didn't know: "This policeman is a student, he has just been transferred to the police station here?" ”

"Oh, no, Tang Dongjia, I'm a tax policeman." The policeman said.

'Tax police? Tang Bohe finally remembered that the style of his hat was indeed the style of the tax policeman. Because the tax police had just been established this month, and he hadn't collected taxes yet, he had only seen them a few times from afar, so he didn't think about it at the first time.

It seems that today's events have something to do with taxes. But today is only twenty-nine, and there are still two days before the tax is collected. Tang Bohe was puzzled.

A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Tang Bohe said: "Three, when you come to my small shop today, I'm afraid there is something about taxes." ”

One of the policemen, named Xue Guobao, who was familiar with Tang Bohe, said: "Nothing can escape you." Tang Dongjia, that's the case, the imperial court has issued a new regulation on merchants to pay taxes, and from next month, they will pay taxes according to the new method. ”

"Then how do you pay your taxes?" Tang Bohe asked. He didn't really care about that now, but he was still a little curious.

"According to the law of Hongwu in the 29th year, it is one household to pay, and the tax amount is fixed, as long as it is a store, one household pays one tax."

"Not from next month. From next month, it will be paid according to the total area of the merchant's store, how big the area is written on the land deed, and how much tax will be paid. Oh, and by the way, different shops charge different amounts of tax per square foot. The policeman Tang Bohe didn't know said.

Yes, the new tax system for fixed tenants in the city implemented by Yunxi is to collect taxes according to the area of the store.

After thinking about it, he still felt that the collection of income tax was unreliable, and he was afraid that it would give the tax police the opportunity to harm the people; However, according to the previous tax amount paid by one household, the amount of tax was too low, so I came up with this method of collecting taxes according to the area of the store.

In the same industry, the area that is well run is basically larger than the bad one, so there will be no situation where small shops will overpay. At the same time, most industries must expand the store area if they want to expand their business scale, and it is not easy for large stores to evade taxes.

Of course, the tax amount of the same size plot is different for different industries, such as restaurants, the tax is higher, and some of the chase shops that are dedicated to the rest of the coolies are very low.

The tax collector told him a few more details, and finally said, "That's all I have to say, nothing else." ”

Tang Bohe was thinking about sending off the guests when he heard this, but suddenly found that the three of them had not moved, and the arms that had been raised stopped in the air in mid-air with some embarrassment, and had to fall down again.

Xue Guobao smiled: "What, Tang Dongjia, you want us to go so much?" ”

"How can I be?" Tang Bohe said.

The patrol officer laughed, stopped joking with him, and said, "Tang Dongjia, we have other things to say." ”

"Starting from the beginning of next month, no matter whether it is a merchant or an artisan household or a court official's residence, it is not allowed to casually splash dirty water outside the house, not to litter, and not to urinate on the street; Livestock, not to pull dung on the street, but to put it in a bag; ......" Xue Guobao said a lot in one breath.

Finally, he said: "From next month, we patrol officers will be punished for seeing these things. ”

"The government doesn't even care about it." Tang Bohe muttered quietly.

But he didn't say anything, there was no need to confront the police.

Xue Guobao said again: "By the way, Tang Dongjia, are there any hooligans and bullies in this alley?" Your family doesn't have to be afraid of them, and if you have one, just tell us the police. Recently, he has been investigating the little hooligans and bullies who harass good people, and if they are caught, they will be punished for the first time, imprisoned for the second time, and exiled to the border for the third time. ”

Tang Bohe was very happy that the government was in charge of these things, and their family had been harassed by these little hooligans and bullies before; Their methods are similar to those of beggars, which is to disturb your business and make you choose to break the bank in the end. Although Tang Bohe was not harassed by them later, he also hated these people.

He said, "If I knew, I would have told the two policemen." But now there are really no such people in this alley, and they were all arrested a while ago. ”

After saying this, these policemen really had nothing to do and left. But before leaving, Xue Guobao said to him again: "Old Tang, don't take what I just said you don't take seriously. After all, the capital is the capital, the first good place, and we dare not be perfunctory. ”
