"Taxes? What taxes? Wei Zhongxian came back to his senses suddenly, he didn't hear what Zhu Youzhen said, but vaguely seemed to hear the meaning of paying taxes.

Wei Zhongxian secretly hated himself, how could he always be distracted in front of King Xin. Last time, I paid an extra 20,000 taels of silver for this, why haven't I accepted the lesson, what should I do this time?

Wei Zhongxian felt remorse in his heart, but there was a trace of murder on his face, "What kind of villain who doesn't know the severity of the matter comes to our cabinet to bite indiscriminately?" What is that place? Your Royal Highness King Xin, you don't have to worry about it, just deal with it old slave. ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that Wei Zhongxian had misunderstood, so he quickly interjected and said, "No, the companion misunderstood." This king is asking why no one comes to our Zhenmu Hall to collect taxes? This king remembers that the commercial tax set by Hongwu Shengzu should be 30 taxes, right? Let's hurry up and pay the tax, worry-free. ”

Wei Zhongxian's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he straightened up unconsciously. It was the first time he had met someone who had come to ask for taxes, and he was still a vassal king. Oh my God, it's so ruined. When did the vassal king become no longer dead and ask for money? It is estimated that His Royal Highness is still young.

Wei Zhongxian, who was surprised, had to open his mouth to explain to His Royal Highness King Xin: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, Hongwu Holy Ancestor has set a commercial tax of 30 taxes and one tax, but the imperial court has never implemented it. The imperial court carried out the commercial tax set by Wanli Ye. For a store of our size, it is about 10 taels of silver a month. Besides, that tax collector dares to come to our door to collect taxes, don't you know that we are exempt from taxes? ”

"Are we tax-exempt?" Zhu Youzhen asked with some confusion, "Didn't our store have a signboard of the Wangdi Mansion?" The little face deliberately looked puzzled.

"There is no signboard, it is also the property of our Wang Mansion, and the industry that belongs to us is tax-free." Wei Zhongxian felt a little crying and laughing, King Xin was really young.

"No wonder, I heard Wang Chengen say that someone wants to take the initiative to serve me." Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, "With this kind of benefit, no wonder he will take the initiative to take the initiative." If they serve under my name, they won't have to pay any taxes. Zhu Youzhen had a surprised expression. I've always thought that the more we earn, the more taxes we have to pay. 30. How much tax do you have to pay? ”

"Your Royal Highness, you can rest assured that no one will dare to collect your taxes." Wei Zhongxian saw King Xin's expression and thought that King Xin was worried about the amount of tax he paid, so he hurriedly comforted him.

"That's fine, it's not a big deal to collect some taxes, as long as it's not indiscriminate, I'm just making a little less." Zhu Youzhen saw that Wei Zhongxian didn't understand for a while, and he didn't say anything, but he looked indifferent. "Anyway, it's not that I'm short of money now, for the sake of my eldest brother's concern, click on you, if you don't understand, forget it."

Zhu Youzhen said this, Wei Zhongxian didn't know how to answer for a while. He was a little confused in his heart, in this world, who is not trying to evade taxes by all means, and if he can, he will not pay taxes. Anyway, it's the state's money, and as long as you save it, it's your own.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Wei Zhongxian didn't speak for a while, and he quickly summed it up in his heart, "Since Wei Zhongxian has been sent by the emperor, then there is no need to use it in vain." With the addition of this factory father, his plans can be faster and more likely to succeed. ”

Zhu Youzhen made up his mind in his heart, deliberately made a pull expression on his little face, and said with a smile: "Wei Daban, this king really has a plan here, I wonder if Daban is interested in participating in a share?" ”

Wei Zhongxian has actually been waiting for King Xin's words. Although he was sent by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he would not let it go if he could get some benefits for himself. Hearing what King Xin said, he didn't hesitate this time, and asked directly: "I don't know how much silver Your Highness needs the old slave to pay for shares?" I thought to myself: "Last time it was 40,000, but this time it will not be 100,000." ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was magnificent, and he waved his hand at Wei Zhongxian, "You don't need to pay for it, the eldest brother of this plan will account for 5 percent, and this king will give you 10 percent of the dry shares." You just need to provide information and support to the king. When you go back, first find out the name, scale, business method, forces behind it, and other industries owned by the Quanjing Division, and send a copy to this king. ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it." Although he didn't understand what King Xin was going to do, Wei Zhongxian agreed. He knew that from this moment on, the alliance between him and King Shin was temporarily reached. On this point, I didn't come in vain this time.

Wei Zhongxian's temperament is relatively straightforward, as soon as he returns to the East Factory, he immediately arranges all the personnel to serve the task of King Xin as soon as possible. Soon, a large amount of information converged to the East Factory. The efficiency of all the mobilization of the East Factory is completely incomparable to that of Chu Tianxing's people.

The next day, all kinds of materials were sent to Zhu Youzhen.

There are now six money houses in the capital, and the largest is Dexing Money Bank, which is mainly engaged in custody business. The force behind him is indeed Deng Yunlan, the Duke of Weiguo. However, according to the information, this money bank is not very valued by Deng Yunlan. The real owner of this money bank is called Zheng Yingtai, who is the cousin of the Zheng shopkeeper of the money bank. Zheng Yingtai's hometown is Datong, Shanxi. The Zheng family also has a silver building and a pawnshop under its name. The relationship between the Zheng family and the Duke of Wei Guo is to put in effect, and the Zheng family pays a fixed amount of 500 taels of silver every year to buy the name on the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. However, the Zheng family has a good relationship with the housekeeper of the Weiguo Mansion, and often does some private things for the housekeeper of the Weiguo Mansion.

After Zhu Youzhen finished reading the information, he felt that Dexing Qianzhuang was not to be afraid, as long as he was careful not to hurt Wei Guogong's face. For only 500 taels of silver, you should not move the deity of the Duke of Weiguo. As long as it does not damage Wei Guogong's face, pure commercial competition Wei Guogong should not interfere. Dexing Money Village is not a roadblock.

What made Zhu Youzhen feel a little tricky was a money bank called Dafa.

This Dafa money bank, which is much smaller than Dexing, is mainly engaged in the business of exchanging money. It is to exchange the copper coins in the hands of the people for silver, or for the silver for copper coins. Just like the exchange of foreign exchange in the previous life, the intermediate interest rate difference is used to make profits. Behind this money bank turned out to be Zhang Xiude, the official of the imperial history. "Yushi, huh? actually did this kind of cheap business, and the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were really cold. Zhu Youzhen secretly complained. Zhang Xiude is not terrible, what is terrible is his identity as an imperial historian.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli period, the party struggle in the civil official group has become increasingly fierce. The position of the first assistant to the cabinet was repeatedly contested, which led to rapid changes in the personnel of the imperial court. In the fierce party struggle among the court officials, the system of imperial historians was somewhat out of control. The group of imperial historians slowly has their own voice. In the special officialdom environment of the Wanli Party struggle, they gradually deviated from their original duties. Most of the current imperial historians are guys who only talk but don't do things. In the name of rumors, they lashed out at everything. There is nothing they dare not scold, and their tendency to huddle is very serious, like a pack of sane mad dogs.
