Chapter 294: Attempting to Confer Taxes
For Wang Shihua, who has always been in love with Shendao Town and covets the three, he can't listen to this.
As soon as he heard that there was such a heaven-sent opportunity, he grabbed Uncle Jiang's hand, his eyes were shining, and he said hurriedly: "Uncle Jiang, do you mean to let him take the taxes of Shendao Town as collateral, or let him use the taxes of these two places as collateral at the same time?" ”
"Master of the house, the old slave listened outside the door for a long time before inviting you out at this critical point, in order to discuss this matter with you...... The old slave heard that someone dedicated you a copy of the "Guanghan Anthology" in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and you also know that the old slave has this hobby, and originally wanted to borrow it to see before coming to you, and it was really not intended to eavesdrop. ”
This explanation is very necessary, otherwise, when Wang Shihua turns around and calms down, it will be impossible to explain this matter clearly: You actually dare to eavesdrop on the conversation of the head of the family, what kind of heart do you have?
"It's okay, you go back to the study and look for it yourself, and I'll send you." At this time, Wang Shihua still cared about a book, and said hurriedly: "Do you have any ideas, tell me quickly." ”
"Thank you for the reward." After Uncle Jiang hugged his fists and thanked him, he replied: "Family master, Shendao Town and the county seat are the two main tax places of the government, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the old slave to get them all. ”
Wang Shihua tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, thought about it seriously, nodded, agreed with this, and said seriously: "You are right, if these two places are all obtained, will the government still eat them?" Besides, if we really get these two places, the other three families and others will not agree, and when the time comes, we will become the target of public criticism. ”
"The head of the family is right, so we can only choose one place to start."
As soon as Wang Shihua, who had dreamed of Shendao Town, heard this, he opened his mouth and replied: "I think Shendao Town is very good. ”
"Head of the family, there are pros and cons here, how about you listen to my analysis and analysis first, and then make a decision?"
Hearing this, it was obvious that he wanted to take the tax right of the county seat, Wang Shihua glanced at Uncle Jiang with a slight disappointment, but still nodded.
"Everyone knows that Shendao Town is a fragrant poop, but it is precisely because this fragrant poop is too fragrant and too big that it affects everyone's nerves. Lord, if you can get the tax right of Shendao Town, there are two major advantages: first, the tax is amazing, which will definitely make us more financially sufficient; The second is to open up the business circle between Shendao Town and us, Zhangjiabao and Zhaojia, and make it more prosperous. The problem is that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. ”
"First of all, if we get the tax from Shendao Town, it will definitely arouse the jealousy of others, and at that time, we will really become the target of public criticism, and with our current strength, it is not enough to fight against the three of them at the same time, let alone others, it is absolutely worth the loss; Secondly, the current land checkpoint of Shendao Town has been controlled by us, and Shendao Town has been integrated into our business circle, and its addition cannot really improve the prosperity of our business circle, at most it is just a name. In the end, once we fall out with the other three families and attract all the attention, it will become a wedding dress for Fang Jue, and when the time comes, the strength of Fang Jue, who has been liberated, will inevitably increase greatly, and in the end, it will inevitably swallow our four major families...... This is a question that the old slave can think of for a while, and I ask the head of the family to forgive me for the shortcomings. ”
Just these three points, Wang Shihua's heart is already like a scoop of cold water. He sighed a little discouraged and said, "You can talk about the county seat again." ”
"Although the taxes in the county town are far less than those in Shendao Town, they will never be less profitable than selling grain to the people. What's more, we should not only look at the taxes of the county from an economic point of view, but also from the overall situation. ”
Seeing that Wang Shihua looked at it with some astonishment, Uncle Jiang smiled and said: "The old slave will first talk about the disadvantages of getting the county tax: first of all, it will cause the dissatisfaction of the three major families, but compared to Shendao Town, the old slave dares to conclude that they are just dissatisfied." On the other hand, if we move Shendao Town, the three of them are likely to start a war with us, but we get the tax from the county seat, not only will they not fight with us, maybe, thinking that we are going to fight with the Xiang family, the Li and Tian families will secretly be very happy, and even secretly support our side because our current strength is not as good as the Xiang family, so that we can fight with the Xiang family and lose both. Secondly, although the Xiang family has always regarded the county seat as their territory, there is a difference in this, at least, the Xiang family has always regarded the tax of the county seat as the government, so we only need taxes, not garrisons, plus the head of the family will explain the reason to the Xiang family at that time, I think, the Xiang family is at most dissatisfied and vigilant, but will never fight with us because of this. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Jiang paused, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "By the way, if County Magistrate Fang agrees, he must also consider pulling our Wang family in to fight with the Xiang family, he is so troubled that he fishes in troubled waters." Therefore, once the head of the family negotiates with the county magistrate here, he must notify the Xiang family as soon as possible, the sooner we can explain our sincerity, the more we can show our purpose, the more we can dispel the anger of the Xiang family, and even make it clear: We can also cooperate with them to suppress the county magistrate. There are so many prerequisites, thinking about it, the Xiang family will not start a war with us because of this, after all, our Wang family is not the original Wang family now, and they have to consider the consequences of the war. ”
Wang Shihua nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, then tell me what benefits we have after you get the county seat?" ”
"There are many benefits: first of all, this kind of business with the government, but our first share in Jiangyin County, with this beginning, the next time the government has difficulties and wants to do something, the first thing will think of us, as long as this opening is opened, slowly forming a routine, and we have the advantage of happy cooperation before, it will have countless huge benefits for our Wang family in the future; Secondly, on the trade route, we are equivalent to connecting the trade route to Hubei and the state capital, and conversely, we are also equivalent to choking the trade route to these two places, and when the time comes, whoever dares to offend us will cut off his trade on this trade route, and the tax alone can make him daunted; And also...... And also...... Ay~... The head of the house, forgive the old slave for being old, and only think of these things for a while. ”
"Heh... Scold... Uncle Jiang, in fact, there are two other benefits that you haven't talked about. ”
"Oh~? Please also ask the head of the family to make it clear. ”
"First, once we get the tax rights from the county, we can take the opportunity to accelerate the expansion of our business in the county, and use this advantage to suppress others. When the time comes, no matter which trade we join, that trade must be decided by us, or we will send the tax collectors, and he will go bankrupt if he can collect taxes alone. In this way, in a few years, at least half of the industry in the county will be owned by my Wang family. At that time, no matter who gets the county seat, it will be up to my Wang family to decide in private. ”
"Huh... Ha... The head of the family is right, in this way, although we don't get the county seat on the surface, in fact, everyone has to look at our faces. Even if others want to be reasonable, but because this is the agreement we reached with the government, on the surface, no one can find the slightest mistake, and they can only be dumb and eat coptis...... I can't tell if I have suffering..."
Of course, the premise of such a thing is that it must be backed by force, otherwise it will be self-inflicted. Fortunately, the Wang family is now strong and strong, especially in terms of weapons, which is more than one grade higher than the other three.
"Second, we can act as an open third party to add firewood to the fire between Xiang Jia and County Magistrate Fang, so that both of them will not be able to fight to the death. When the time comes, they fight theirs, but we can secretly play ours, which will have unexpected benefits for future deployments, and can grasp the control of the overall situation at any time. ”
Uncle Jiang nodded with a smile and said softly, "Since the head of the family agrees with the county seat, then there is only one question left now." ”
Wang Shihua also smiled like a flower, but like an underground worker, he replied in a low voice: "The number of years of tax power..."
The two looked at each other and laughed silently at the same time.
"The head of the family, the old slave thinks that the longer the number of years, the better it is for us, but from the perspective of the county magistrate, he naturally hopes that the shorter the better. The old slave thought about it, if you want to achieve the effect you said, it is estimated that it will take three years, if it really doesn't work, it will take at least two years, otherwise, it is better not to have it. ”
Wang Shihua nodded, patted Uncle Jiang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go... Come with me to our master. ”
"At such an important moment, how can there be no old slaves? Head of the house, please..."
Wang Shihua walked towards the study with his hands behind his back, taking figure-eight steps. Uncle Jiang, who was following behind, bowed his head slightly, shrunk his shoulders, and looked like a subordinate, but his smile looked like a thousand-year-old demon hiding in Wang Shihua's shadow.
"Slack, slack." Wang Shihua hugged his fists and said an opening sentence with a smile to the county magistrate, and then looked back at Uncle Jiang: "Where did I talk about it just now?" ”
"The head of the family, I just mentioned that County Magistrate Fang is rich."
County Magistrate Fang was extremely depressed: As soon as you said that I had money, you invited the head of your family out, and it was clear that you were discussing this matter, and now you have discussed how to deal with me before you come back. But I'm here to ask for help, and I can't help but cooperate.
"Uncle Jiang, I really don't have any money, if I have money, I must know it."
"County Magistrate Fang, you are upright, with a clean breeze on your sleeves, naturally you don't have any money, but the county government has money."
I don't know what the idea of this big and small dozen? County Magistrate Fang had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was in no mood to go around in circles, so he asked directly: "Uncle Jiang, how do you say this?" ”
"County Magistrate Fang, the annual taxes paid by the county seat and Shendao Town to the government are extremely amazing, how can the government run out of money?"
Get... County Magistrate Fang understood, and the two of them had the idea of the county seat and Shendao Town. Of course, for Fang Jue, this was both unexpected and reasonable. After all, a character like Wang Shihua can't get food from him if he doesn't come up with actual things, just relying on two pieces of mouth to fool around. And if you want to come up with actual things, what else is there besides taking taxes as collateral?
The stunned county magistrate Fang looked at the expressions of the two and found that the smiling smiles on their faces were so similar that they were carved out of the same mold.
In order to dispel Wang Shihua's evil thoughts, County Magistrate Fang had to take the initiative to take out the biggest weight of this trip: "Master Wang, do you think this will work?" I'm going to apply with the above, for the sake of saving the people from fire and water, and let the above appoint you as the lieutenant governor, how about it? ”
Wang Shihua smiled......
