Chapter 351: Punish hard when it is time to be punished

"President Tian, take a look, there are a few maps with clay here, do you think you should choose where to dig for the first time, and the official will let people go there to start work."

Li Yu didn't care what Chairman Tian thought, and took out a map of Changning County for President Tian to see.

Chairman Tian was still thinking about why Li Yu was not in a hurry, but talked about taxes, didn't he know that all businessmen who cooperated with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce did not have to pay taxes?

was asked by Li Yu, only then did he react, thinking it was a military map, and when he got closer, he was disappointed that it was a map of playing a game.

Looking at the map, President Tian chose a clay supply place, and also chose an iron mine, what kind of quality requirements are not big, mainly these two places are close to the workshop, from the current situation, the road to the place where the clay and ore is supplied is estimated to be repaired by the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, and a nearby place can also save some money.

"Okay, President Tian chooses these two places, and the official will arrange it in a while, and the charcoal used for burning pottery will also let people set up a special chamber of commerce to supply, President Tian can rest assured."

Li Yu circled the two places on the map, and said to President Tian: "There is one more thing, that is, there will be a lot of craftsmen in the capital, who specialize in pottery, they have nothing to do with you, and when you see it, don't think that this official just signed a contract with you and then asked someone else to come over to compete with you, there is no such thing."

If there is really a strong chamber of commerce in the future to come over and do the same business, the official will also favor you under the same conditions, after all, the official here has invested money, and he doesn't want to lose it at that time, well, it's almost noon, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving? ”

President Tian was stunned again, he knew that Li Yu didn't want to eat with him, so he asked politely, this is nothing, no matter what is eating, maybe Li Yu is not happy about the tax matter.

But what do you mean by the many craftsmen from the capital mentioned above? There is also the latter one, which is biased towards the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce under the same conditions, so what if the other party gives a little? Is it biased towards the other party?

President Tian, who couldn't settle down in his heart, had to ask when Li Yu was about to send off the guests, "Master Li, what is the craftsman who is coming over?" Are there other chambers of commerce that have taken a fancy to this? ”

"Craftsmen, that's the best craftsman in my Datang, they finished the competition in the capital, some people are willing to stay, so they arrange to come here, this side is close to the capital, they don't do business, they just come here to occupy a place to study pottery and improve.

As for the other chamber of commerce to come over to invest in the same business as the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce, I just said, if someone really comes, I can't drive people away, this is like a restaurant in the county, is there a restaurant, and no one else in the whole county can open a restaurant?

President Tian, don't worry, I still mean what I just meant, as long as it is under the same conditions, you will not suffer any losses, and at the same time, I also promise that no matter how rich the people who come, even if it is Zhang and Wang's family, I will not cooperate with them. ”

Li Yu explained to President Tian again.

President Tian couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only respond, "Okay, then I'll go back and do the work of the workshop as soon as possible." ”

"Walk slowly, come on, send off guests." Li Yu stood up, sent President Tian to the door of the house, and greeted the subordinates to continue to send them, while he came back, sat on a chair and said to the screen:

"Little worm, you can come out, but you can see President Tian's expression clearly?"

"See, I guess I won't be able to settle down after I go back, and I may not be able to sleep well tonight, my lord, do you really want to punish the merchants who cooperate with the Thousand Worlds Chamber of Commerce? At least three times the tax, if more, it is five times, and if it is fined all at once, they will lose money on the business they did a few days ago. ”

The worm turned out from behind the screen and asked worriedly.

Li Yu nodded seriously, "Fine, if you don't punish the businessmen, you should find a way to evade taxes, the official wants to let the businessmen in the county know that if you want to make a fortune, you can do business on the ground, don't always make up your mind from other crooked ways, if you really have the ability, you can learn from the example of the Zhang and Wang families, and make more surprising things." ”

Seeing that Li Yu had already decided, Xiao Worm no longer persuaded him, but muttered in his heart, if all the businessmen could be like Zhang and Wang's family, Datang would be lively, and he could see a lot of new things that he had never seen before.

As Xiao Worm said, as soon as President Tian returned to the house, he began to sit and lie restless, feeling uncomfortable in the heat, and feeling that the screams of knowing were noisy, but after all, he didn't like anything, and he felt bitter when he drank saliva.

The person who went out to run errands in the Chamber of Commerce came back, and when he saw President Tian, he asked with concern: "President, have you talked to Li Yu?" Is he willing to take down the daily announcement? ”

"Withdraw what? That was a method that Li Yu specially used to prove his integrity, how could he be withdrawn? Chairman Tian said violently at the people who came back.

The man was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at President Fan's face, and said carefully, "President, are you in any trouble?" It's better to say it, and we'll figure it out together. ”

"It's a big trouble, Li Yu didn't know what it meant, first asked me a few days after signing the contract last time, and specifically said that there are still two days, and the businessman will be punished if he doesn't pay taxes, I can't think of whether he is ready to forcibly tax regardless of the contract, or if there are other means."

President Tian tried his best to calm down his emotions and said one thing to the people around him, and the people who came back did not say anything, waiting for the chairman to continue.

"The second thing is to come from the capital to a lot of craftsmen who specialize in pottery, are the people left by the Beijing craftsman competition, one by one the ability should not be bad, to this side do not do business, just pondering, but who can guarantee that they are really so? There are a lot of pottery fired here, and if they join in, no matter how we try to make people think it's a new technology, they might figure it out.

The third thing is that Li Yu mentioned that if a new chamber of commerce comes, as long as the new chamber of commerce wants less benefits than us, he is willing to support it, and I don't know if someone wants to come, or if he threatens us.

Tell me, which of the three things in a row can make people feel at ease? In case Li Yu really finds a few more chambers of commerce to do the same business as us, that kind of competition is the most uncomfortable. ”

After President Tian finished talking about the matter, he felt a little happier, picked up the herbal tea on the table and poured it into his mouth, looked at the people around him, and waited for the other party to speak.

The person who had just come back was also frightened by President Tian's words, and whispered, "President, why don't we cooperate with other businessmen, is that what Li Yu means?" ”

"Are you stupid? Now we are cooperating with other businessmen, everything is according to the contract, even if Li Yu is unhappy, as long as he still wants to make a face, he will not use other means to deal with us, once we stop cooperating with other businessmen, how will other people think of us?

Scared? Can't do it? Or do you know you've done something wrong and take the initiative to change it? No matter what kind of view it is, it is not good for us, even if we stand up, we must get through. ”

Chairman Tian thought about a lot of things, but he couldn't solve them when he said it, so he could only wait.

Two days later, the sky was a little cloudy, and the wind was still very strong, blowing from the southwest to the northeast, and the people who were setting up stalls on the streets outside to do business knew that it was going to rain, so they packed up their things and looked for a place to shelter from the rain.

There is no need for a shop with a house, Shunfeng soup cake restaurant is a place with a shop, the usual business is not bad, the regular tax is half a month, a fixed number, not like some merchants who transport goods according to the number of goods to pay.

The shopkeeper of Shunfeng Soup Cake Restaurant or the owner, surnamed Wang, called Wang Shunfeng, used his own name for the soup cake restaurant, today should be the day he has to pay taxes, because according to half a month, so he has been delayed for ten days.

But he was not in a hurry at all, even if the guy had already whispered that he could not offend the yamen, Wang Shunfeng also felt that he would take a look again.

"Give me a lot of land, it's about to rain, the people who set up stalls outside can't sell it, and there are many people who come into the store to eat, who dares to be lazy and deduct wages."

Seeing the sky outside, Wang Shunfeng was very happy, now there are a lot of competing opponents, if you can go down to the evening, today's income can be better than the usual two days of good weather.

Just when he was happy in his heart, two officials from the yamen came to the door, and they all knew each other, and one of them sat at a table and said to Wang Shunfeng: "Brother Wang, is it time to pay the tax this time, it has been ten days." ”

"Eh, Brother Fu is wrong, I have signed a contract with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, even if I take money out today, I will send it to the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce is tax-free, ten years, you see, when we signed the contract, we have copied the relevant places, and the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce also pressed their fingerprints, so they can't be faked."

Wang Shunfeng didn't want to pay it at all, he could save half of the money, it was not a small amount.

"So you're resisting taxes and not paying them? Then don't blame my brother, I can't, catch it. As the official spoke, he put a chain around Wang Shunfeng's neck, obviously he could dodge, but Wang Shunfeng didn't dare to hide, and to hide was to resist arrest.

"Why are you arresting me, I'm not wrong, I'm going to reason with the county magistrate." Wang Shunfeng was taken to the yamen by the officials.

At this time, there were already many people who had been arrested in the yamen, and they didn't dare to move there, because they all knew Li Yu's identity and just wanted an explanation.

When the people were almost over, Li Yu came to the front, still holding a contract in his hand, and said to everyone: "Does anyone feel unconvinced?" Well, the official will tell you that the official will clearly show the official that Party A is exempt from tax when cooperating with Party B, but they did not cooperate with the official in this regard when they signed the contract with you.

You can pay as much as you have to pay, no one can run away, and after paying the taxes and the fines, you can go back. ”

"My lord, you can say whatever you want, why is it what you say?" One of the businessmen rolled his eyes and said.

Li Yu turned the contract to the last page and read: "The final interpretation of this contract belongs to Party B. ”
