The increase in grain tax is not an increase in commercial tax, and the nobles and officials in the court do not all sell rice, many of them are thousands of different trades, and those who sell rice are now subject to grain tax, which is only for a small part of the income, and not for all the merchants, nor does it touch the interests of the vast majority of the income, since this is the case, there is no need to face the thousands of Yue Dajin, and there is another point, those who do not sell grain at home, look at the don't sell grain to make money, and are still red-eyed, and now they see the increase in the grain tax, but they are still happy and even have integrity, If you think it's really hateful to make a fortune in this year, give them some color and look at it, that's right

Under the leadership of the Yue Party officials and those officials who had no power, many officials who had nothing to do with themselves also opened their mouths to express their approval for a while, and the situation in the hall became one-sided, and voices of approval abounded

After a long time, the voice stopped, Yue Su glanced at Chen Shaofu, Song Shixiang and other nobles and officials who opposed the tax increase, and said proudly: "You have also heard it, now that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, most of the officials are in favor of increasing the grain sales tax, why are you a few of you against it?" Is there really some collusion with grain merchants? ”

"No, no......" ...... The dignitaries and officials hurriedly shook their heads like rattles

"It's good if you don't, if you do, you will not be guilty of defrauding the king" Yue Su sank his face and said loudly: "Since the matter of increasing the tax on grain sales has been referendum, it can be implemented today."

As he spoke, Yue Su turned to Zhu Ciyan and saluted, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

"Just do what the Qing family wants," Zhu Ciyan said

"The emperor has a decree that from now on, increase the commercial tax," Liu Mingguo said loudly

"The emperor is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live"...... After the early dynasty dispersed, less than half an hour, the streets of Beijing City became lively, the errand of Shunyao Mansion, together with the errand of the Qing Military Department, was all dispatched, and the tax collection was collected by the rice shop this time, and it was not an ordinary entry to collect, and the leader entered, and it was Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tong Guan, Tie Qiu, Li Haoran, and Li Haoquan

It can be seen that this was all arranged by Yue Dajin in advance, and the emperor said that the Liu family ignored it, so of course Li Haoran was not guilty, he directly entered with Yue's mansion, and with the start of Shunyao Mansion, he went to collect taxes Shunyao Mansion's Mansion Yin just didn't dare to pick the head, Yue Dajin sent in to sit in the town, it was the best

There are rice shops everywhere in Beijing Sijiu City, and the golden cicada and others are divided into the action, and the style and momentum of the six into the area are basically the same, and Yue Dajin is also a unified order, so there is no need to say it one by one, only the golden cicada this way

Jin Cicada took hundreds of servants, along the street, to a rice shop in front of the door of the Huang family to send rice, to help the people, these basically did not buy food Jin Cicada led more than a dozen servants to rush into the rice shop, there are the guys of the rice shop, see that it is the entrance of the government, and hurriedly greet him with a smile, "Everyone, I don't know what is going on here?" ”

"The imperial court has just issued a decree to levy a tax on grain sales, and collect how much grain you have in your rice shop at twenty taxes and four, I will go in and check, and after inspecting it, we will collect it according to the number," Jin Chan said loudly

"What? ......The young man was startled, and then said, "You wait first, we will call our shopkeeper......"

After the man finished speaking, he turned his head and ran into the back room, and invited the shopkeeper out. What kind of tax is charged? Why haven't I heard that there is a tax on food? ”

"This shopkeeper, this is a decree just issued by the imperial court, there is an official document and the Shunyao Mansion issued a fire sign, you can see for yourself" After Jin Chan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately an errand stepped forward and handed the fire sign and official document of the Shunyao Mansion to the shopkeeper

The shopkeeper took it, glanced at it, handed it back to the servant, and said, "Even if the imperial court decrees that grain taxes should be levied, it has nothing to do with our Chen Ji rice shop?" Our owner is the Marquis of Taining, and when the court is noble, the family does not have to pay taxes for doing business."

"Who is your host...... Jin Chan said in surprise

"Taining Hou heard clearly, don't you need Lao Tzu to tell you again," the shopkeeper shouted proudly

"It turned out to be a transaction on the Taining Hou's mansion, then it's not just a matter of tax collection, Taining Hou promised in front of the palace that there is no rice shop at home, and now you say that this is the business of Taining Hou, isn't this Taining Hou Yu before the king to bully the monarch to enter o Ah, the rice shop is all tied up and down for me, and the rice shop is immediately seized" Jin Cicada already knew whose rice shop this was, and what he was waiting for was the other party's words

The soap clothes worn by the messengers, this is to resist, it is no different from rebellion, the shopkeeper saw that the other party took it, he was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "This is Taininghou's business, which of you dare?" Don't you want to live? ”

"We are also embarrassed to be ordered to do things, what is the matter, go to our family" This has to be changed to the usual, borrowing the courage of these two errand officers, and they don't dare to provoke Chen Ji Rice Shop, but this time is different, the order is the second auxiliary Yue Dajin Yue Dajin is the first weight of the dynasty, his order, who dares to disobey, even if they are asked to tie up the Marquis of Taining, they dare not say half a "no" word

Chen Jimi's shop up and down can be a lot, but the shopkeeper was tied up, and the other guys and nurses and laborers naturally didn't dare to do anything, and they quickly fled through the back door and went to Taining Houfu to report the letter, but the vast majority of them were honestly escorted to Shunyao Mansion

The rice shop was sealed, and after being brought back to Shunyao Mansion, he was put in prison on the spot, and then Jin Cicada was brought in and sent to another house

Jin Cicada's attitude is very clear, who dares to report his home, saying that he will be arrested and sealed on the spot, and then two will be sealed, so that the news will spread to other stores, where do they dare to open for business, anyway, there is no business, Qianbrio will close the door first

This is not good, because there is an eye at the door of every rice shop, Jin Cicada came to the door of a Yang Ji rice shop, saw that the door of the rice shop was in charge, and ordered to smash the door directly, the rice shop did not dare to open the door, but the messenger was merciless, and Qian Crisp knocked the door of the rice shop open

Jin Cicada stepped away, the shopkeeper, a few guys and guards stood in the front hall, Jin Cicada looked at them twice, and said loudly: "Shunyao Mansion came to do an errand, and why don't you open the door?" Is there some secret hidden in it that cannot be sought? ”

"No, no......" the shopkeeper shuddered and said carefully

"No, you didn't do anything bad to deceive the ghost, why don't you open the door?" Jin Cicada shouted

"We ...... The rice shop was not doing well, so we closed the door and went to sleep inside...... We didn't hear the poor man knocking on the door, and as soon as we ran out, the door and door were knocked open by the poor man......" said the shopkeeper with a smile

"You can explain, but just now your rice shop is still open, and this closing is also a moment ago, why should you close the door?" Jin Chan asked coldly

"It's not because of ...... I didn't see that I had entered the door, so I closed the door......" the shopkeeper quibbled

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you about this, we are ordered to collect taxes today, show him the official document and fire sign"

As soon as Jin Cicada waved his hand, an errand officer stepped forward immediately, handed over the official document and fire sign, the shopkeeper took it, and slowly got up while reading, he thought about countermeasures, he had just been sent in to report to the owner, but the messenger had not come back yet, what should I do about this?

After a while, the shopkeeper was still looking down at the official document, but Jin Chan was a little impatient and said, "Have you finished reading it?" ”

"Immediately, immediately......" The shopkeeper also knew that he could not delay any longer, pretended to look at it a few more times, returned the letter to the officer, and then, the shopkeeper said: "This poor master, this duke, the decree to increase the rice tax was issued today, and it began to be implemented from this day, and it should be that we and other merchants should be notified by this day that the grain tax can only be collected after January, how can there be a tax just after the issuance?" ”

"You're going to say that you're collecting this month's tax? Isn't it the third year of junior high school? We'll count the grain you have in stock, and then collect it at the rate of twenty taxes and four," Jin Chan said loudly

"This poor master, after you finish counting, you will collect taxes according to the quantity, doesn't it mean that we can sell all the grain in stock this month?" The shopkeeper said carefully

"What you said, how do I know if you sold it or not? Now the imperial court decrees that no matter how much you sell this month, first check the inventory, collect taxes proportionally, and when you enter the grain again, you have to go through the city gate, there will be a record at the city gate, how much grain comes in, and then it will be drawn in proportion Don't talk nonsense with me, where is the grain depot, take me quickly" Jin Cicada said loudly

The shopkeeper saw that the other party was not good, and the previous two families had a background than his own owner, but he reported that his door was copied, how could he dare to report it again at the moment, so he could only bite the bullet and honestly take the golden cicada to the backyard grain depot

There are several large granaries in the backyard of the rice shop, Jin Cicada arrived at the place, and directly ordered, it takes a certain amount of time to start counting the amount of grain, and half of the check, a little guy ran in from outside, the little guy came to the shopkeeper, squeezed his eyes to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper understood, and asked to leave temporarily for a while with a small solution, and the golden cicada also understood what he meant, and did not stop him, let him take care of himself

The shopkeeper took the young man into the hut and asked inside, "Have you seen the owner?" What does proprietorship mean? ”

"The proprietor said, no matter what, he couldn't show his name, otherwise it would be a bully, and there would be a big thing in front of him, let the shopkeeper weigh it, but it really didn't work, so I paid the tax, since the court raised the tax, we can also raise the price in the future, and we can still get the loss back" The young man said in a low voice

"Oh......" The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Now it seems that this is the only way"
