Chapter 212 raises commercial taxes
Li Yao went to Qin County mainly to see Chen Chuang, since Li Yao left the three northern counties, he hadn't seen Chen Chuang, and he didn't know how the big fat man was doing now!
The guard regiment quickly passed Li Yao's itinerary to Qin County, and the county magistrate of Qin County immediately organized the county officials to go out to greet him, and the county magistrate of Qin County was appointed by Li Yao from local personnel, and the three northern counties With the entry of Li Yao's army and the arrival of the dog's head, the local deformed rule was no longer needed, and the protons of the county towns were also put back!
Because Chen Chuang has a very good relationship with Li Yao, he also has a very high status in Qin County, and the notice of the county order naturally reached Chen Chuang's ears!
As soon as Chen Chuang heard that Li Yao had come to Qin County, he also followed the county officials out of the city to greet him.
When I came to Qin County, it was already dark, but the gate of the county seat was brightly lit, and a division stationed in the three northern counties was also dispatched to protect Li Yao's safety!
When he came to the gate of the county seat, Li Yao saw Chen Chuang waiting on the side, immediately dismounted, walked in front of Chen Chuang, and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing now!" ”
Chen Chuang nodded and said, "It's better now than before, you can do whatever you want, and no one cares!" ”
Li Yao laughed and said: "Then your life is comfortable, I am very miserable, I haven't stopped these days, and I have endless things to do every day, I am really tired!" ”
Chen Chuang smiled: "Do you work hard!" Let's go have a drink tonight! ”
When Li Yao heard Chen Chuang's words, he patted Chen Chuang's shoulder and said, "You and I want to go together, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, we must not get drunk and not return!" ”
The county commander also echoed on the side: "General, I'm ready for the reception, otherwise let's move to the restaurant!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "In that case, the county order will lead the way in front, let's go to the restaurant and have a drink!" ”
Li Yao said to the head of the guard regiment: "Divide a company to protect Yu Linlin's safety, and the rest of the people go to rest early, and I will bring a company of guards!" ”
Because Qin County was the first county to be occupied, this county was better governed, so the head of the guard regiment replied: "Okay, I'll arrange it now!" ”
Because Yu Linlin is a female dependent, she can't go to the reception banquet with Li Yao, so she can only rest at the post station first!
Li Yao knows that the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women is wrong, but such a traditional concept has lasted for thousands of years, and it is impossible to change it, and now Li Yao has a lot of big things, and he has no time to change such customs for the time being, so he can only follow the trend for the time being!
After sitting down in the restaurant, Li Yao asked, "County order, how is the management of Qin County now?" ”
Although Li Yao doesn't know anything about governing the county, but with the assistance and management of the doghead, the management of more than a dozen county towns under Li Yao is not bad, but the doghead is the main military and political, so the management of the county and other affairs, Li Yao is ready to divide it and hand it over to others to manage, otherwise everything will be handed over to the doghead, but the doghead is tired!
When the county magistrate heard Li Yao's words, he hurriedly replied: "General, the security and taxation in this county are relatively good, the civilians can eat enough, and we will open a warehouse every day to put grain and cook porridge, if the civilians who really haven't eaten can get porridge for free!" ”
Li Yao asked, "Then how much grain is there in the granary in this county?" Li Yao remembered that after occupying this county seat at the beginning, he put porridge to civilians every day, and when the 100,000 army came, they ate all the food from these three counties, so Li Yao was very curious about how much food there was in this county!
The county commander replied respectfully: "Return to the general, because this year's harvest is okay, and there are still more than 300,000 quintals in the granary!" ”
Li Yao frowned and said, "Only more than 300,000 loads of grain?" ”
Seeing Li Yao's attitude, the county commander hurriedly said: "General, there are indeed only more than 300,000 loads of grain in the granary, and when the 100,000 troops in the early stage were stationed here, the grain in the granary had been almost consumed. Therefore, there are only more than 300,000 loads of grain in the granary, which are all accounts to check, if you don't believe it, general, you can go and check the accounts! ”
Li Yao looked at the county order's calm expression and said, "County order, don't worry, it's not that I don't trust you, but I want to ask, can this grain be carried until the autumn harvest next year?" ”
The county magistrate calculated and said: "As long as everyone saves some money, and you don't collect taxes indiscriminately, you can carry it until the autumn harvest!" ”
When Li Yao heard the words of the county order, he said, "I remember that I have never taxed you!" ”
The county magistrate nodded and said: "General, I know that you are a person who loves the people, and it can be seen from the tax that you promulgated the fifteen taxes and one one, so that the farmers do not have to worry about eating and drinking, but now the situation in the county is just getting better, I hope you can manage it well and let the people live well for a few years!" ”
Li Yao said with a smile: "County order, you are really worried, why don't I want the people to live a good life, the main place in the county that consumes money and food is the academy, but I tell you clearly, even if the soldiers can't eat, I will not close the academy, education is the foundation of a country, this matter must not be wasted!" ”
The reason why the county order said so much is that the spearhead is pointed at the college, after all, the county seat under Li Yao's jurisdiction is now fifteen taxes and one, and the county can't get extra money, the money and grain on the college are too expensive, and there is no income, the county order must be unbalanced!
Li Yao's words can be regarded as a positive answer to the county order, and it is impossible to clearly refuse the county order, and it is impossible to reduce the expenses of the college!
The county magistrate heard Li Yao's affirmative reply, and said in a low voice: "The lower official has said a lot, please forgive the Hou Ye, I will do it first as a respect!" ”
Looking at the county order after drinking a glass of wine, Li Yao suddenly asked, "What is the tax rate of commercial tax?" ”
The county magistrate thought for a moment and said: "The tax of commercial tax is the same as the agricultural tax, which is fifteen taxes and one!" ”
Li Yao said lightly: "The commercial tax rate should be increased, and it will be adjusted to ten taxes in advance!" If there is no money in the county, the proportion of commercial tax will be increased, but in any case, the proportion of agricultural tax must be less than 15 taxes, and the agricultural tax can only be reduced and not increased, do you understand? ”
The county commander exclaimed: "But in this case, who else dares to do business?" With such a high tax rate, how can a businessman live? ”
Shinong industry and commerce, the status of businessmen is the lowest, but businessmen are the best alive, Li Yao has never seen a businessman who starves to death, businessmen will not do things that seek profit and lose money, so ten taxes and one is definitely very reasonable for businessmen!
Li Yao said with a smile: "County order, if you want to change your treatment, the best way is to collect business taxes, otherwise you can't eat meat during the New Year, then I can't help it!" ”
