Chapter 19: The Nobles of the Zheng Mansion

Riding on horseback, looking at the scenery ahead. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Qin Chao's heart was slightly excited.

If he could, he really wanted to ride a horse and gallop across the official roads outside Jinling City.

However, this can only be thought about for the time being. Wait for the future, when you really master the art of horseback riding, and then look for opportunities to realize it.

Anyway, I have already arrived in ancient times, and the days to come are still long, so it is not difficult to realize this careful wish.

One official walked in the front to open the way, and the other led the horse for the Qin Dynasty. The road was unimpeded, and the surrounding people turned their eyes to the Qin Dynasty.

Among these people, there were many young women who secretly sent autumn waves to the Qin Dynasty, and even some young women also cast suggestive glances at the Qin Dynasty when the people around them were not aware of it.

Many of those middle-aged women looked at the Qin Dynasty with the eyes of their mothers-in-law and sons-in-law.

This made the Qin Dynasty on horseback secretly happy in his heart, and his face was indifferent, and even for their gaze, the Qin Dynasty deliberately pretended not to be aware.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the door of the prefect's yamen.

Dong Hongjie and Song Ming stood in front of the prefect's yamen. When the Qin Dynasty, with the help of the officials who led the horses for him, got off the horse.

Dong Hongjie and Song Ming went to the Qin Dynasty one after the other. Dong Hongjie walked in the front, and when he came to the Qin Dynasty, he happily spoke: "Brother Qin, the meals are ready, let's talk while eating." ā€

Qin Chao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Dong in this way, but this time, we won't drink, after all, drinking is wrong." ā€

After Dong Hongjie heard this, he nodded with a smile: "This is natural." ā€

……

Under the hospitality of Dong Hongjie, after eating a big meal, Qin Chao and Dong Hongjie and Song Ming came to the meeting hall.

After pouring tea, Dong Hongjie ordered his subordinates to leave. Yesterday at the banquet, the Qin Dynasty had already said something to Dong Hongjie, and now, when it came here, the Qin Dynasty didn't need to say anything more, first wrote out the things in his mind with a pen, and then Dong Hongjie and Song Ming made corresponding changes according to some laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After drinking tea and chatting, Qin Chao took up a pen and wrote down his thoughts on paper. Song Ming and Dong Hongjie stood beside the Qin Dynasty and watched the Qin Dynasty write.

When the Qin Dynasty finished writing, Dong Hongjie and Song Ming also read it, and they also had an understanding in their hearts.

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Dong Hongjie and Song Ming, naturally understood better than the Qin Dynasty. They have been officials for many years, so they can better understand how valuable these contents written by the Qin Dynasty are.

Dong Hongjie looked at Song Ming and said, "Master Song, how do you think we can change it?" ā€

After hearing this, Song Ming looked at Dong Hongjie and said, "My lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to cancel the market entry tax." Moreover, if the commercial tax is suddenly increased, the businessmen in Jinling will inevitably have opinions. ā€

"I suggest that we should talk about the tax ratio and reduce it from 20 percent to 1 percent. In this way, even if they have an opinion, they will not make too much trouble. ā€

After Dong Hongjie heard this, he didn't express his opinion, but looked at Qin Chao and asked, "Brother Qin, what do you think?" ā€

Qin Chao thought for a while and said, "If it's 1%, I don't think it's appropriate. Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, so it can be seen that officials are the bosses. ā€

"Those who are in business, although they have money in their hands, even have a big tree behind them. But after all, they are the people, not the officials. ā€

"Even if the official behind them comes forward, I think you have something to say, Master Dong, and you can deal with it."

"The most important thing is that I personally think that the 1% tax will make these businessmen think that the imperial court is easy to bully, which is not only not conducive to the imperial court, but also makes them make more trouble, so as to ask Lord Dong to give up the commercial tax."

"As for the entry tax, I think it would be better to abolish it. As for the simple reason, the abolition of the market entry tax can encourage more people to become businessmen. ā€

"These people, except for the fixed time to be busy with farming, the rest of the time, basically find some scattered things to do, so as to earn some Weibo income."

"As for entering the market and becoming a businessman, I don't think they haven't thought about it, but the market tax will make them retreat."

"After all, before you start making money, you have to pay taxes first. If you earn it, it's naturally the best. But if they lose, they won't even make money, but because of this market entry tax, their trading will also become a loss-making business. ā€

"I don't think anybody wants to make a loss-making deal. Therefore, I think that if the market entry tax is abolished, there will inevitably be many people who are willing to make money in business. ā€

"As for those big businessmen, if they have an opinion on your new business tax because of Lord Dong, and they are in a mood, Lord Dong will ignore it."

"They don't do business, so naturally someone else goes to the top. Slowly, when they feel the crisis. I think they will come to the door crying and beg Lord Dong to ask them to do business. ā€

When the Qin Dynasty said this, he didn't say any more.

Dong Hongjie laughed a few times, looked at Qin Chao and praised: "Brother Qin, it is not a loss to be a talented person in Jinling, this remark is indeed reasonable. ā€

Seeing this, Song Ming clenched his fists and looked at Qin Chao: "Gongzi Qin, I have been taught." ā€

"Master Song, it's serious." Qin Chao hurriedly clenched his fists and said.

Dong Hongjie said happily: "With these new regulations, my Jinling's taxation will definitely shock the whole country, and it will be the first tax capital of my Great Zhou Dynasty." ā€

Next, Dong Hongjie discussed with Song Ming and the Qin Dynasty, and added some more content to the punishment mechanism and reward mechanism of the commercial tax written by the Qin Dynasty.

For example, those who do not comply with the commercial tax are banned from doing business for one year, regardless of their status, and even for up to ten years.

If the commercial tax is complied with, the tax reduction policy will be carried out accordingly. The first businessman with the corresponding policy can get a three-year tax exemption reward.

After the new policy was discussed, the Qin Dynasty, Song Ming, and Dong Hongjie were all satisfied. Dong Hongjie sent people to start issuing policies.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, the Qin Dynasty did not return to the Qin Mansion, but went to the Zheng Mansion as soon as possible.

The Qin Dynasty decided to tell Zheng Lao the good news.

This commercial tax of the Qin Dynasty is also mentioned in the books given to him by Zheng Lao. However, it was not as complete and reasonable as Qin Chao's mind.

Outside the Zheng Mansion, the two family members respectfully asked, "Gongzi Qin." ā€

Qin Chao nodded and said, "I want to see Elder Zheng, I don't know if Elder Zheng has time?" ā€

One of the family members looked at Qin Chao and said with a smile: "Steward Zheng has ordered, Gongzi Qin is a noble person of Zheng Mansion, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can enter at any time." ā€

"Master Zheng is at home, as for what he is doing now, the little one is not clear."

"I see." Qin Chao nodded, then stepped in.

After walking a few steps, Qin Chao heard Zheng Lao's happy laughter. The Qin Dynasty couldn't help but be a little curious, not knowing why Zheng Lao was like this.

Just when the Qin Dynasty was going to go away and ask the reason. A strange woman's voice stopped him.

"Stay."
