Chapter 201: Commercial Tax Turmoil (4)
"Harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than tigers!"
Hearing Yang Hanzhou say that commercial taxes should be levied, the representatives of various families and businesses present were a little angry, and in the name of standardizing the management of commerce, in fact, it was competing with the people for profit, or even profit.
At least 10 percent of the profits should be handed over to the government every month, which makes these people unacceptable.
Although the population of Langzhou is not as good as that of Lizhou and Xingyuanfu, it is only a registered population, and there are many people who are not registered, and because it is located next to the Jialing River, Langzhou's business is very developed, and it can even be said that it is the most developed state in Shannan West Road, even if it is Xingyuanfu, it is not as good as Langzhou.
Although Niu Miao came to power, he was also collecting harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but Langzhou did not buy it, and Yang Hanzhou, as the envoy of the festival, also had nothing to do with these big families.
No, when they heard that taxes were going to be collected, these people began to make trouble, and the most violent of them was those related to the Chen family.
Although the Li family in Langzhou has a deep foundation and is also a side branch of the royal family, it has always been very low-key, unlike the Chen family, which became more and more arrogant after the new head of the family came to power, relying on his influence in Langzhou, which embarrassed Yang Hanzhou's assassination history.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to what Yang said. According to the regulations formulated by the Jiedu Embassy, only this kind of tax will be collected in the future, which is equivalent to changing the tax from the previous scattered collection to a unified collection.
This is for everyone's convenience.
Moreover, this collection of commercial taxes is not only in Langzhou, but also in the entire Shannan West Road, and Xingyuanfu, Lizhou, and Yangzhou have all been collected. Jizhou, Bazhou and other places are all being implemented, so Yang advises everyone to obey the order and actively pay commercial taxes. β
Seeing the reactions of these family representatives, Yang Hanzhou realized that this matter would not go well, especially since the people of the Chen family were so fierce, which would definitely make those who were already reluctant even more fearless.
"What Yang Tingshi said is good, when did your government not say that? But every time the tax is collected, it is collected again.
And we didn't pay taxes when we ran our stores, but now we suddenly have to raise taxes, and we have five taxes and one tax, isn't this a harsh tax? The representative of the Chen family said unceremoniously.
Yang Hanzhou has a certain understanding of the tax rates of various industries, the Chen family has a large winery, as well as a large jewelry store, according to the newly promulgated tax law, these are all high tax rates, that is, the other party's mouth of 'five taxes and one'.
If it were someone else, he would still understand, but the Chen family is the largest family in the local area, and the family wealth is not endless, and he used to make so much money, so what is wrong with paying some taxes now? It's easy to talk about yourself, who would have thought that he wouldn't give any face.
"Yang is just a good persuasion, not a deception. Xingyuan Mansion and other places have been implemented, and those who resist taxes have also been disposed of, shops have been seized, and family property has been confiscated. At that time, if you end up with what Yang said, don't blame Yang for not reminding you. β
The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people.
Since these people take his words as a deaf ear, why should he go to the hot face and stick to other people's cold butts, and end up miserable when the time comes, don't blame him for not reminding him.
Today's interview is destined to be fruitless, with the Chen family taking the lead, many people in the shops have expressed their opposition to the imposition of high commercial taxes. Including some other local families, representatives of some small and medium-sized families such as the Luo family, the Wang family, and the Han family also sided with the Chen family and did not agree to pay commercial tax.
As for the Li family, he did not express his position, of course, Yang Hanzhou could also see that the representative of the Li family also had some slight remarks about the business tax, but he did not come out to coax.
"My lord, so many people oppose it, is this commercial tax still being implemented?"
After the representatives of the various families left, the staff came to Yang Hanzhou's side and said worriedly.
"If you can't implement it, you have to implement it, His Royal Highness King Shou should be iron-hearted this time. Didn't you see that Li Zhen was sent from Lizhou? I heard that he also brought a cavalry, and I think I also knew that the opposition from the Langzhou side would be very strong, and this cavalry was just in case.
At this time, if I don't promote the commercial tax well, King Shou's knife will cut into my neck. Yang Hanzhou said quietly.
After King Shou entered Xingyuan, he found that this prince had great ambitions, and first made great adjustments to the army of the entire Shannan West Road, weakening the strength of various states and strengthening the Tiance army. Typical strong cadres and weak branches, so that the states do not have the strength to make chaos.
At this time, if someone is not interested, what the result can be imagined. Yang Hanzhou can be a assassin, he is not a fool, and he naturally knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

And for King Shou, he also admires him, at least he won't treat his own people badly. Just like Xiao Rong, who was transferred from Bazhou Thorn History to Quzhou Thorn History, although it is still Thorn History, but Bazhou is Xiazhou, and Quzhou is Shangzhou, and it has become the same level as it.
Of course, he was also dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that he was already from Sanpin, and there was no place for him to settle in Shannan West Road. As for the external transfer, it is not up to King Shou to have the final say. In this Shannan West Road, one acre and three points of land, it is naturally Shouwang who is in charge, and when he goes out of Shannan West Road, no one will buy his account.
"Send someone to inform Zhao Defense Envoy, and say that I have something to discuss with him."
Yang Hanzhou thought for a while and made a decision.

Just when Yang Hanzhou made a decision, in the mansion of the Li family in Langzhou City, the head of the Li family, as well as several elderly people with more status in the family, were also thinking about their attitude towards this business tax.
"The head of the family, is this Shouwang too ugly, he dares to collect all the five taxes, and he is not afraid of these businessmen making trouble. This is equivalent to one-fifth of the money we earn, and we have to pay one-fifth to the government, which is too much. β
A slightly younger man said, but this is young, only compared to the others, but he also looks almost forty.
"According to the seniority, King Shou is still our elder, and when he speaks, he must be respectful." Li Houchen reminded.
Li Houchen, who was close to the age of the Mandate of Heaven, was also thinking about this matter, compared to other clansmen, he knew better, not long ago, his brother sent someone from Bazhou to send a letter back.
Li Yi, the assassin of Bazhou, is his younger brother, and the reason why he can serve as the assassin is that the Li family of Langzhou wants to be friendly with King Shou and use King Shou to strengthen himself.
His younger brother is more capable than him, and he was admitted to the Jinshi in less than thirty, but there is no doorway, so his career is not smooth. King Shou promoted him to serve as the assassin of Bazhou, and he naturally had to consider whether to support King Shou in the matter of commercial taxes.
The matter of commercial taxation involves a large amount, and this seemingly huge Langzhou Li family is also a little complicated internally, and it involves money and food, and not everyone has a long-term vision. That's why he called a few of the more prestigious people in the clan to discuss the matter together.
