"San Lang, they won't be joking with me, will they, they really come up with so much money?" Liu Jun turned his head and asked Li Xiao, his eyes were blood-red. Even if you are the grandson of Liu Hongji, the hero of Zhenguan Lingyan Pavilion, Liu Jun has never seen such a large amount of money.

A group of inconspicuous captives suddenly sold for 274,000?

"Among those people is your old Liu family." Li Xiao smiled and said, "Besides, what are you happy about, this is public money, and no matter how much money you sell, it can't go into your pocket and me." Moreover, the captives here sold the money in exchange, and they have to buy all kinds of materials from the Central Plains from these people again, and the goods of the boatload will not be cheap. ”

It's a game of going in and out, with the left pocket out and the right pocket inside. Of course, it is not exactly the same, and it is not directly bartered but traded separately, mainly for the sake of fairness.

And Li Xiao did this for another purpose, that is, to collect taxes.

Whether it is the prisoners on Tamna Island or the trophies, they all belong to the Eastern Expeditionary Sailors, not to him Li Xiao. Even if he Li Xiao is an envoy of the Daoist Governor, he is not qualified to circle this money to his Wuzhen Prefecture Thorn History Mansion.

And Wu Zhenzhou is now poor and white, if he wants to make some achievements here, then he has to have money to start.

Li Xiao couldn't directly encroach on the spoils of the sailor, but he immediately thought of another way.

Tax.

Yes, taxes.

If the sailors and the Central Plains merchants bartered directly, then it would be difficult for him Li Xiao to collect taxes.

The real principle of tax collection is to collect taxes layer by layer in the circulation link, and peel off a little bit of each link, so many links down, you can receive a lot of taxes, and this will not make people feel that the tax is too heavy all of a sudden.

It is necessary to gather wool, but not to make the sheep feel pain.

After the successful conclusion of the auction, Li Xiao immediately announced his new tax order. In the dual name of the pacification envoy of Andong Province and the assassin of Wuzhen Prefecture, he issued a special wartime tax order in Wuzhen Prefecture, Andong Province during the war.

Li Xiao set up a deed tax, all large sales transactions, must be a contract, for every 10,000 yuan of transaction amount of the government levied 500 yuan, that is, the tax rate of 5%. The seller pays 3 percent and the buyer pays 2 percent.

This kind of tax actually existed as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was called tax assessment at that time. The person who makes the deed is called the loss valuation, and the same tax is levied on the small sale that does not make the deed, which is called the loose valuation.

Now Li Xiao also levies this tax in Baekje, but it is directly called deed tax.

The tax rate has been raised from 4 per cent to 5 per cent, but the 1 per cent increase will be borne by the buyer.

In order to sound better, Li Xiao set the official name of the deed tax as deed money, although it is not a tax, but it is actually a tax. However, if it is not called a tax, it is equivalent to a kind of levy by the local government, and if he collects it in the name of wartime, he does not have to go through many cumbersome procedures, and he does not need to ask the imperial court for approval before starting.

You can chop it first and then play it, or even don't play it even after chopping.

Three percent for the seller and two percent for the buyer.

The seller of this auction is the official, the official seller should be the Dongzheng Sailor, the tax-collector is the Yamen of the Andong Jinglu pacification envoy, and the actual collector is the Wuzhen Prefecture Governor.

The total transaction value of the auction was 274,000 guan, and Li Xiao issued a deed collection order of 8,220 guan to the seller's camp on Tamluo Island.

Liu Jun took the list and looked at Li Xiao's signature and seal on it, a little dumbfounded.

"San Lang, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"What am I kidding with you, besides, it's a business now, you should call me Li Jingluo or Li Shuai, or you can call me Li Tingshi."

Li Xiao corrected Liu Jun seriously.

Liu Jun still thinks it's ridiculous, you want to levy taxes, I won't say anything, you ask those businessmen to levy, what are you looking for me to levy? Our Eastern Expeditionary Sailor and you Li Sanlang's Assassination Mansion or the Jingluo Pacification Yamen, isn't that a family?

What are you doing with my taxes as a family?

"One yard is one yard, paying taxes is glorious, and everyone is responsible!"

"You don't need to do that, do you?"

"You have to pay it, in fact, I have asked people to deduct the deed money from the auction just now, and I will give you the rest in a while."

Liu Jun was speechless, then you still said a hair, you directly deducted it, and what did you do with this list for me.

"It's formalities."

Liu Jun was silent, he figured it out, anyway, Li Xiao was his superior, and the officials and universities were all crushed to death, not to mention so many levels bigger. Buckle it, it's unexpected that it can be sold for more than 200,000 anyway, or Li Xiao helped sell it, and now he wants to deduct more than 8,000, then there are more than 265,000, and this deduction is Li Xiao's remuneration.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Liu Jun's cooperation, "Brother Hui, I will invite you to drink." ”

The people from Chang'an are still satisfied with the slaves they have photographed, and one hundred is only two thousand, which is a good deal. Anyway, it takes only three days to sail from Tamna to Tengju Chishan Port. In such a short period of time, the slaves transported from here to Chishan are still fresh, and there will be no loss at all.

When you go to Chishan Port to sell, you can earn at least five to ten yuan casually, and one hundred is at least five hundred yuan, deducting some not too much shipping fare, which is still a big profit.

was smiling, Li Xiao asked someone to send them a deed payment notice.

One hundred slaves spent two thousand yuan, and now Li Xiao requires them to pay two hundredths of the deed money, and for the transaction of two thousand yuan, they have to pay forty yuan.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Two out of a hundred, deed money."

Someone snorted.

But this dissatisfaction is only quiet.

Eventually, someone spoke.

Zheng Gongzi from Xingyang said, "Anyway, this time we also made money, and we can only make this money by following Li Jingluo, and it's nothing to pay the deed money of two hundreds, I paid it." ”

With Zheng Gongzi taking the lead, everyone also wanted to open it.

If you want to make more money here in the future, you can't offend Li Xiao, the landlord.

So everyone expressed their willingness to pay.

Profits have dropped by two points, even if the cost has increased.

Five thousand four hundred and eighty yuan was quickly collected from the buyers.

As soon as the two were added, Li Xiao received 13,700 yuan for this deed.

"Well, it's very good, everyone is very sincere, and we can be happier to cooperate in the future."

Everyone looked at Li Xiao like a god, and moved their mouths, which collected more than 10,000 yuan in taxes?

It's incredible.

"This money is divided into three parts, one is tributed, and it is handed over to Chang'an and handed over to the imperial court. One cent was left for the envoy to be appeased by Jinglu as the office money of the yamen in the future, and the remaining one point was given to the state yamen. ”

One-third is four thousand five hundred and sixty-six thousand.

More than 10,000 guan, handed over to the imperial court more than 4,500 guan, left more than 4,500 guan to the Jingluo pacification envoy Yamen, and then gave more than 4,500 guan to Wuzhenzhou Assassin Shi Yamen.

Of course, Andong Jingluo appeased the Yamen and Wuzhenzhou Assassin Yamen are now two brands of the same Yamen, so Li Xiao finally left more than 9,000 yuan, more than the imperial court.

"You've just set foot on the land of Baekje, and you've already earned more than 9,000 kan, God." Liu Jun gave Li Xiao a thumbs up.

"That's not as much as you earned, you've only worked hard for half a day, and you've earned more than 265,000 yuan."

"yes, hahaha." Liu Jun laughed loudly, "San Lang, I'll have a drink in a while, and I'm going to have a few drinks tonight." ”
