Chapter 1752: Confrontation

What does it mean that "roadside bystanders can also form alliances"?

He clearly rejected the marriage proposed by Xiao Rui in front of Xiao Rui, could it be that Xiao Shi did not give up and was still coveting his beauty......

But now is clearly not the time to talk about it.

The two chatted casually, the carriage stopped, and they had arrived at the largest restaurant in the town, which was obviously the property of a wealthy family, and it was closed to the outside world all day, and the upstairs and downstairs were cleaned clean, just to catch the wind and wash the dust for Fang Jun.

In terms of pomp and circumstance alone, there is indeed nothing that cannot satisfy Fang Jun.

It's just that Fang Jun knows the faces of these wealthy families, the articles on the face are full of flowers, and everyone is smiling and perfect and harmonious, but in private they are dirty and dirty, and they can give up anything for the sake of interests, smiling at you one moment and stabbing you the next.

The family gate valve pays the most attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, because this is the means they rely on to look down on all beings, but in fact, in secret, it is the most shameless......

A large group of people in charge of the family surrounded Xiao Jing and Fang Jun and walked into the building.

The chefs in the store probably started preparing the ingredients early in the morning, and Fang Jun probably had already started to prepare the food when he went ashore.

Everyone gathered around to let Fang Jun sit on the main seat, but Fang Jun insisted on refusing, so he gave Xiao Jing to the main seat and accompanied him on one side.

Fang Jun didn't take the shelf, everyone naturally relaxed, they were afraid that Fang Jun's domineering momentum would make everyone unable to wipe off their face, and now they naturally laughed and had a harmonious atmosphere. They are all well-known characters in the family, and they have their own set of treatments, and this kind of occasion is suitable for playing.

Because in the final analysis, what everyone says is nonsense, and it has never involved their own interests, so naturally hello, I am good, everyone is good......

It's just that such a group of big people in the Jiangnan region gather here, not only because Fang Jun has a big face, but everyone is naturally more concerned about their vital interests.

It's inevitable to be tempted......

A handsome middle-aged scribe raised his glass and said with a smile: "Hou Ye's visit to Jiangnan is really a blessing for our Jiangnan people, if it weren't for Hou Ye who founded Huating Town, how could the industry in our clan set foot overseas and bring such a huge profit to everyone?" Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, pay tribute to the marquis, and pay respect! ”

Fang Jun squinted at this person, remembering that he had just introduced this person as Bao Xi, who was born in the Yanling Bao family......

He raised his glass and responded with a smile: "Brother Bao's words are bad, this official created Huating Town City Bosi in accordance with His Majesty's will, how dare he take credit?" And you must not be grateful to this official, this official is an official of the imperial court, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, you only need to operate according to the law, pay taxes according to the regulations, I wish it is enough! Come on, come on, this official will accompany Brother Bao for a drink! ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank it all.

Bao Xi smiled a little far-fetched and drank the wine in his glass.

Between the words coming and going, although the two sides may not really confront, they have already touched each other's bottom line......

If this Bao Xi is really the pioneer elected by the Jiangnan Shi clan, then the meaning of his words represents the meaning of all the Jiangnan Shi clan: the benefits that should be given to you are indispensable, but for the laws and regulations, you have to turn a blind eye and forgive others.

And Fang Jun's attitude is even more resolute: operate according to the law and pay taxes according to the regulations!

Do you really think that the opening of the market is only for your service? That's a state organ, and it must be run in accordance with the law, and whoever dares to disobey the law, don't blame me for being unkind!

Of course, Fang Jun never said this, but everyone heard the unfinished meaning clearly.

This mallet is really not good to talk to......

Xiao Jing stroked his beard with one hand and smiled, as if he was not disappointed.

An old man sitting at the bottom of him put down the wine glass in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "As the saying goes, 'the family and the country are the world', if the family is uneasy, how can we talk about strengthening the country and rejuvenating the world?" Now that His Majesty wants to achieve the hegemony of the ages, he has collected a large amount of money, grain and materials in Jiangnan, and all the Jiangnan scholars have not complained about it, how much the court needs, we will hand over how much, who doesn't want to be a loyal and patriotic person? It's just that although our family has a big business, there are a lot of mouths for food in the clan, the burden is getting heavier and heavier, and life is becoming more and more difficult, and we also need more understanding from the court. At present, overseas business is not easy to do, the cost is too large, the competition is too fierce, there is really not much profit, it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, according to the old decay, can the commercial tax be reduced by one or two percent, so that everyone is profitable? ”

After he finished speaking slowly, someone chimed in, sighing and complaining, saying that business is difficult to do, the competition is fierce, and the risk is too great......

Seeing the poor dagger, this is the true intention of the wealthy family in Jiangnan!

Fang Jun was still smiling, looking at the old man, but he said unceremoniously in his words: "This old man, do you mean that if the city division can't lower the business tax, the Jiangnan Shi clan will have no spare strength to support the empire's great cause of the Eastern Crusade, can this official understand this?" ”

The old man was startled, his face turned white, and he waved his hand again and again: "Master Hou doesn't want to harm me, where did the old man say such a thing?" I just hope that Your Majesty can be more considerate of us, even if the business is difficult to do, and the life is difficult, as the people of the Tang Dynasty, we will definitely fully support the Eastern Crusade, and there is no other word! ”

Not only him, but half of the group at the table were all scared by Fang Jun and sweating......

It's good that everyone knows some things, and if you say it so plainly, do you want to cause us to bear a great charge of rebellion?

No one can afford it!

These people have never dealt with Fang Jun before, this time I finally know why the family did not send those who have had dealings with Fang Jun in the past, this guy is too domineering, and he does not play cards according to common sense, and he has to overwhelm people by three points when he speaks, I am afraid that those who have dealt with him will naturally be weaker in momentum, which is not conducive to fighting for interests......

Fang Jun was still smiling, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at the old man and asking, "I was a little negligent just now, and I didn't remember my father-in-law's surname?" ”

The old man said: "The old man He Pingchuan is a person who will be an auditor. ”

Huiji He's family, also a famous family, a representative of Jiangdong Wu's surname, is not popular now, but soon after a talent called himself "Siming Maniac", called He Zhizhang......

Fang Jun nodded slowly, pondered slightly, and said: "Since He Laoyan and Haimao have meager profits, cruel competition, and great risks, then starting from the first month of next year, this official will inform the City Department of Commerce to cancel the qualification of Huiji He's sea trade, anyway, it doesn't make much sense to do or not to do Haimao, the commercial tax is too heavy, the profit is too thin, and it will be a waste of energy, right?" ”

After that, he looked around with an indifferent face, and asked earnestly: "If you have any difficulties, I will tell this official, you can't let you donate money and food to pay taxes according to the regulations, but also run those unprofitable businesses, right?" Come and come, there are people who think that the sea trade is not profitable, and it doesn't matter if they do it or not, and now they tell the official that the official will cancel their qualifications for sea trade. But don't worry, isn't life difficult? Correspondingly, the families who abolished the sea trade were exempted from half of the tax. Who are they? Come on, make a name. ”

There was an instant silence at the banquet, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They are all the leaders of various families, and they have deep experience in handling things, but in the face of Fang Jun's practice of depriving them of their qualifications for maritime trade if they disagree, they have a deep headache and don't know how to deal with it.

Aren't they all crying and complaining?

Don't they all say that there is no profit in sea trade?

That's okay, just deprive you of the qualification for sea trade and give you half of the tax, it's always okay, right?

……

What a fart!

What kind of huge profits is that? A piece of high-quality porcelain, which is worth Baiwen in the Tang Dynasty, is the price of Qianwen when it is shipped to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other countries, and it can reach 20 times the profit when it is shipped to the Wa Kingdom, and if it is shipped to the Nanyang countries, it is not a problem to make a profit of 30 times......

After two years of repeated reforms, the commercial tax of maritime trade has stabilized to 1 of 10 taxes, regardless of the amount of profits, according to one-tenth of the total value, while the agricultural tax on the land of the family is 20 taxes and 1, which is greatly reduced compared with the past.

The taxes levied by the imperial crusade were collected according to the agricultural tax, which greatly increased the proportion of commercial tax.

But the problem is that the profits of sea trade are high!

Once the right to trade at sea is deprived, the amount of tax paid will be greatly reduced, but the income will simply fall off a cliff......

This is a no-no!
