Bao Chuan Road, is the mountain road that communicates Hanzhong and Guanzhong, traverses the Qinling Mountains, is hundreds of miles long, is also one of the Shu roads, and is also the post road stipulated by the Tang Dynasty.

Although this road is not the most convenient passage to Guanzhong, because the road is wide, the road has been built for a long time, and the road conditions are relatively familiar, so many business travelers from the south to the north go to Guanzhong or enter Xingyuan Mansion to Shudi.

However, at the end of today's Baocheng Road, inside and outside a Di shop in the north of Baocheng County, there are many people, and many business goods stay here, and in the hall of the Di Shop, many businessmen gather here, but their faces are not very good, and they are even a little excited.

In front of them, several officials were explaining something, but the businessmen didn't listen. It's really too domineering in Shannan Xidao's approach, and he won't let it go without paying the money.

Originally, there was no such regulation, but since yesterday, this mansion has changed its name and surname, and it has become a tax collection office under the jurisdiction of Cangcao of Shannan Province.

There was a notice posted outside, saying that all business travelers who entered Shu from the Baochuan Road must pay 10% of the tax on the goods transported, otherwise they are not allowed to enter Shu. Of course, you can also choose not to pay taxes and return the same way yourself.

Going back the way you came? Hearing this, many people were eager to divide these officials into five horses. The total length of the slope is more than 500 miles, how long does it take to return to the original way? Moreover, if the time is delayed, the goods may not be sold, and the loss will be even greater.

And there is also a problem, that is, other Shu Dao also set up similar tax cards. The exits of Chencang Road, Meridian Road, Fu Luo Road, Wenchuan Road, and Lianyun Road all have such tax cards, and they are all set up in the south of the Qinling Mountains.

Pay the money, and let it go; If you don't pay the money, then you just wait, anyway, there is no customs clearance document issued by the tax card, so it is not allowed.

Before the business is done, they have to pay a tax of one out of ten, and these businessmen naturally can't accept it, so they are blocking the tax card to make trouble.

However, in the face of the tax card guarded by the army, no one dared to use a knife or a gun, compared to the well-equipped tax team, the swords they used to defend themselves could not be held on the table at all, let alone the tax team had bows and crossbows.

The tax team was formed according to Li Ye's intentions, that is, to strengthen the power of the tax department, so that it can suppress and dispose of businesses that do not pay taxes, and it is impossible to send troops to everything.

Although these tax teams were drawn from the Tiance army and the local army.

For example, the tax card of the Baochuan Road in the north of Baocheng has two teams of 100 tax teams. Other similar tax cards are also at least one team, and more than three or four teams.

There are also such tax teams at the county level and at the state level, but due to time reasons, only the prefectures and counties of Xingyuanfu, Yangzhou and Lizhou have formed tax teams, and the others are still being formed.

The tax card and the tax teams of various states and counties were finally under the jurisdiction of Cangcao Senjun of Shannan West Road, with the purpose of cracking down on tax evasion, tax evasion, and tax resistance.

Finally, a slightly wealthy middle-aged man stepped forward.

"This lord, I heard that there was a tax on this ramp before, why is it suddenly taxed now, and it is still one of ten taxes, which is too heavy. You are forcing us businessmen to a dead end, I am a member of the Jingzhao Wei clan, these are also the goods of the Jingzhao Wei clan, if the delivery time is delayed, you will have to walk around without eating. ”

After hearing this man's words, the others had a lot of confidence. Jingzhao Wei's family, that is a big family, and now his clansman Wei Zhaodu is the prime minister of the dynasty, with this big Buddha coming forward to preside over justice, others have a bottom in their hearts.

In fact, many of these businessmen are from big families, princes and nobles, and ordinary ones, but their strength is not strong. This is also the reason why Pei Rong and others are worried about the implementation of commercial taxes, even after the Huangchao Rebellion, most of the merchants are controlled by big families, and the collection of commercial taxes is undoubtedly to grab money from these big families.

"Are you threatening me?"

The official of the tax card is only the main book under the Shannan West Dao Jiedu Envoy Fucang Cao joined the army, and it belongs to the low-level officials, and the grade is not high, according to the grade formulated by Li Ye, it belongs to the officials from the ninth grade, which is at the penultimate level.

"What about Jingzhao Merriam-Webster? The order to levy customs duties was given by King Shou, and in this Shannan West Road, the order given by King Shou must be obeyed. If you Jingzhao Webster don't want to pay taxes, you can go out and go back the way you came, and no one will force you to pay taxes. ”

These tax card officials are basically not the children of big families, but the children of poor families, and even some of them are formed by civilian officials drawn from the Tiance Army. For those big families, they naturally won't have sympathy, and because of King Shou's previous teachings, these people are very confident.

"You blocked the road and didn't let us cross, isn't this forcing us to do something? You are deliberately plundering our wealth, setting up a false name and scraping in disguise, and I will definitely react to this matter to my family. I think it was because King Shou was poor and crazy that he remembered this method of competing with the people. ”

"Bold!"

Hearing that this person was disrespectful to King Shou, the face of the master book suddenly changed, "You dare to be disrespectful to King Shou, even Wei Xiang doesn't dare to do this, you are a member of the Wei clan, but you do such a big rebellious thing."

Someone came, confiscated all Wei's goods, and detained all the entourage, especially this person who was disrespectful to King Shou, broke his leg, and then handed it over to the Baocheng County Yafaluo. ”

"Yes!"

The two tiger-wolf-like soldiers quickly stepped forward, and without saying a word, they pulled the arm of the man who claimed to be from the Wei clan and left. The man wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but the soldier next to him didn't give him a chance and dragged him out like a dead dog.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the other vendors, the man was crushed to the ground by several soldiers, and another person slashed down the thigh with the scabbard of a horizontal knife. Then came the screams like killing pigs, which scared the other merchants enough, but they didn't expect the officers and soldiers of the tax card to really dare to do it.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

And it's not just hands, it's really confiscated the goods, that's at least thousands of goods, and it's gone. It may not be a big deal for Jingzhao Merriam, but I don't know how Jingzhao Merriam-Webster will react to this slap in the face.

Seeing that some people were frightened, the chief bookkeeper softened his tone, "Slandering His Highness in this Shannan West Road, this is the end, I hope you don't do it again."

This time the tariffs were levied just to rob everyone's money, just to create a fair order, and even the business under the name of the palace had to pay taxes, can you avoid it? And His Royal Highness's move is not to increase everyone's burden, otherwise it would not be just ten taxes and one, but ten taxes and two, or even more.

However, one thing can be assured, as long as you pay the customs duties here and take the tax payment voucher issued by our tax card, you do not need to pay other taxes in Shannan West Road. One batch of goods, one kind of tax, and the tax is only paid once.

In Shannan West Road, whether you enter the city or take a break at the Didian, you don't need to pay taxes again. In addition, in Shannan West Road, there are no pedestrian taxes and other tax items. ”

"Wow!"

Hearing this explanation, the merchants present were greatly surprised, which was simply a bit unexpected to them.

Did they cross the road to collect taxes before? Harvest!

Not only collected, but also collected many types, entering the city to collect taxes, pedestrians crossing the border to collect taxes, the poor crazy Jiedu envoy also set up a shop to forcibly collect commercial taxes. These all add up, not a lot, and may even exceed one in ten.

If this is really implemented, it will be a good thing for these businessmen.

However, it is not a good thing for the local government, and the tax card that is now set up is controlled by the Jiedu Embassy. Although some taxes will be reserved for the local government, most of them will be resolved to the level of the Jiedu Embassy, which is naturally a good thing compared to the above.

Not only does the tax increase increase, but also can reduce many local ills, but the days of private subject tax collection at the state and county level are gone.

Many people are still a little skeptical about the explanation of the master book, but they still have the courage to choose to believe it, and as soon as they hand over the money, they will leave here with the goods.

With some people taking the lead, coupled with the previous example, even if many people are unwilling to pay, in order not to lose more, they still honestly choose to pay. As for other things, I'll report back later.

。。。。。。

"Zheng Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, Zheng Xiang is a lot older!"

Looking at Zheng Jin, who was slowly supported by Zheng Ningji from the carriage and stepped on the ground, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

remembered that when he saw the other party for the first time, it was the other party or the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, holding great power, and taking on the important task of intercepting the pursuit of the rebels, covering Li Yi and his party to escape to Xingyuan Mansion.

It's just that compared to that time, the current Zheng Zheng looks much older.

Why is this happening, Li Ye has also heard it. It turned out that Tian Lingzi forced this great hero who turned the tide after Huang Chao broke through Chang'an to resign on the grounds of Li Chang's words.

The previous ambitions could not be realized in the end, and the fact that he was already a dozen years old, was hit by such a blow, he was depressed, and the speed of aging was much faster.
