Chapter 122: An Min

The shopkeeper of Yang Ji's rice shop came out of the thatched house, and soon came to Jin Chan's side, he didn't speak, just watched quietly for a while, and the messenger finished counting the grain, and reported to Jin Cicada, "Jin Ye, several granaries add up, a total of two thousand six hundred stones."

Jin Cicada nodded, and said to the shopkeeper: "This time the grain tax is levied, and it is collected at twenty taxes and four, calculate it yourself, how much should you pay?" ”

"One stone of rice can earn two dollars of silver, and twenty taxes and four are ......"

The shopkeeper opened his mouth to convert, but before he could finish speaking, Jin Chan stopped him, "Stop, stop, what are you talking about, one stone of rice earns two taels of silver,, you have earned fifteen taels of silver for one stone of rice, how can you only earn two taels of silver, you don't know the market, now one stone of rice earns at least twelve taels of silver, according to this for me"

"This ......"

"Aren't you selling this for fifteen taels and one stone now? If you still sell it for one tael of silver, I will immediately cover all the grain you have, and you won't have to pay taxes," Jin Chan shouted loudly

"Yes, yes...... One stone of rice earns twelve taels of silver, twenty taxes and four, that is, two taels and four coins of silver, a total of two thousand six hundred stones, and a total of six thousand two hundred and forty ......taels of silver must be paid," the shopkeeper said helplessly

"That's right, bring the silver," Jin Cicada spread his hands and said loudly

"More than six thousand taels, there are not so many on the counter now......" the shopkeeper said with a bitter face

The total price of these grains is only about 7,000 taels, and the tax of 6,200 taels is collected at once, isn't it fatal?

"No....... then it doesn't matter, maybe I will use grain as a top, I will give you one stone of grain and count three taels of silver, and how many stone of grain can be folded into six thousand two hundred and forty taels of silver, you can calculate it yourself," Jin Cicada said lightly

"Poor master, didn't you just say fifteen taels of silver for one stone? Why is it three taels of silver, this is not ......"

"Fifteen taels of silver is your home for selling, the master is here to collect taxes, and not to buy rice, if it is offset by fifteen taels of silver and one stone, isn't it equivalent to buying your grain like your grain, the capital is counted as three taels of silver, of course, it is to be offset according to it, either take cash silver, or produce grain, how do you look at it, if you are unwilling to do both, then you have to be punished according to tax resistance, the rice shop is sealed, you have to follow me to Shunyao Mansion for a trip" Jin Cicada said arrogantly

"That'...... All right...... I gave the silver...... "The grain shipped from the south, plus the freight, is not much worse than three taels, if this is used to offset taxes, wouldn't it be in vain The shopkeeper can only admit it, and say: "Poor master, you wait for a while, I will send it to the house to get the silver."

"Okay, okay, go and come back quickly, after collecting your house, you still have to collect it from another family," Jin Chan said

"Yes, yes......" The shopkeeper agreed, and then called the young man who had just reported the news, and said: "Why don't you go home quickly and get the tax silver, a total of six thousand two hundred and forty taels"

"Okay, I'll go ...... now"

The little guy agreed, he ran away, the place he went to was the home of Song Shixiang, the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, this rice shop, was opened by Song Shixiang's wife and brother Yang Erlong, on the surface the surname Yang, in fact, the real boss is him Song Shixiang, Yang Erlong is just the top name The young man came to the Song Mansion, saw Song Shixiang and Yang Erlong in the flower hall, and said the number of tax silver, Song Shixiang was almost angry

"That's a lot of deception."

"Smack" After Song Shixiang finished speaking, he raised his hand and smashed the teacup on the table

The young man jumped, where did he dare to say more, after a while, Song Shixiang calmed down and said, "Go to the account room to get the silver"

More than 6,000 taels, take out this silver, as if digging out a piece of Song Shixiang's meat, but he can't help it, on the Golden Palace, he can see the situation clearly, and now he has entered Yue Su's trap Now Chen Ji Rice Shop has been given to the seal, it's better to be honest, let's wait and see, how much food can the emperor still have, even if he adds Guang Enbo and the British public donation, it is a drop in the bucket, and when they can't hold on for a few years, they run out of white spoonful of food, and the people still have to eat, not afraid that the rice can't be sold. At that time, it will not be sold for fifteen taels, Lao Tzu will sell it for twenty miles to recover all the losses

The young man took the silver, and Song Shixiang sent Yang Erlong to bring it in, pay the tax and silver to the rice shop, and go through the formalities before it was counted

Jin Cicada received the money, and went to another house, now the city of Beijing has long been lively, the streets and alleys are all talking about this, and other rice shops also understand what is going on, to tell the truth, in Beijing City, which one does not have a doorway, especially in this year, it is difficult to sell rice to make a fortune, it is necessary to have some capital, which is not related to the nobles, or has a relationship with officials

But now, whether it is a nobleman or an official, they all instructed the rice shop, don't show your banner, otherwise you will be unlucky, you can eat some dumb losses, the silver is gone, and you can still earn the crime of bullying the king in the future, especially if it is this matter, or Yue shaved his head and tossed it, don't provoke him

So, the next work is very smooth, no one dares to make a time, honestly took out the silver can be said to be the huge city of Beijing, there are no hundreds of rice shops, it is impossible to play at all, a rice shop can collect six thousand taels, how much is a hundred rice shops and, Yang Ji rice shop is not a big household, there is that big rice shop, the grain is five or six thousand stones, or even tens of thousands of stones

casually did it, and the imperial court collected millions of taels of tax silver

Of course, those who pay taxes as usual want to earn it back in the future, but like Taining Hou Chen Shaofu, they can't sit still It can be said that at first, the first two companies such as Jin Chan and Tie Qiu came to the door to collect them, they were all very horizontal, and they reported directly to the master

The news quickly spread to the ears of their masters, such as Chen Shaofu, the first thing he thought of was whether Yue Su would put a hat on himself for the crime of bullying the king, and the case could not be handed over to Yue Su to handle, otherwise with Yue's temper of shaving his head, once he came to cut first and then play, it would be a thousand brittles, to be honest, hurry to the Queen Mother is crying and begging for mercy The Queen Mother Bi Jing is female stream, and she will be soft-hearted when she thinks about it, and it is a big deal to donate food to ensure a safe

These dozen entered, almost at the same time, rushed to the Forbidden City, handed over signs together, and asked to see the Queen Mother, everyone was embarrassed, polite to each other, and they tacitly agreed

It didn't take long for the Queen Mother to give an order, and after seeing the emperor and the Queen Mother, she first asked for peace, and then knelt down and cried loudly

Zhang Yan naturally understood what was going on, pretended to be puzzled, Wen Yan asked, he didn't dare to hide it, 1510 concealed the fact that there was a rice shop at home in the Jinluan Palace in the morning, and followed it for a while, one by one swore that he had no intention of deceiving the king, and was even willing to donate all the food now

The Ming Dynasty was also ruthless to the heavyweights of the founding of the country during the Taizu period, but after that, they took great care of the Chen family as if the Marquis of Taining, as mentioned above, the children of their family were cut down by the emperor twice, but if they are killed, they will be killed, and the title will be kept for you, so that your descendants can be said to be able to say that as long as you do not rebel, the long-term meal tickets of your families will be kept for you

Zhang Yan didn't plan to do anything to them, in fact, she had already discussed with Yue Su, punished them a little, and accepted them with a white spoonful of food, even if she took the initiative to donate, Zhang Yan reprimanded Yue Su according to the idea she had made in advance, invited Yue Su to come, and put her in the audience in the name of the emperor

Yue Su also knew what to do, and deliberately seemed a little embarrassed, and then it was logical to collect the grain and put it in

The matter of taxation is now over, and it can be regarded as ending with Yue Su's victory, but this is actually only the beginning

The officials in Beijing City are now staring at Yue Su and the imperial court, wanting to see how much food the emperor still has to help the people

But just after the third day, a large number of grain landed from the Tongzhou wharf and entered the city of Beijing, and this grain is still continuous, not only to Beijing, but also to Zhili to transport for the fatal thing, the price of these grains is only two taels and five dollars of silver and one stone, these grains are not wholesale, only retail, each purchase, a maximum of one liter of purchase

The grain fell from 15 taels and 1 stone to 225 yuan, and the people cheered and thundered

The name of this rice shop is Min'an Rice Shop, in the city of Beijing, every three or five streets, there is a shop, everyone knows, this rice shop has two owners, one is the British Gongzhang family, the other is the Li family, two big owners of the shares, sell rice to the people at cost price

The people in Beijing are grateful, it can be said that from this early on, to a hundred years later, the people in the Zhili area, buy rice only to go to the Min'an rice shop because this rice shop, not only Tong Su is not bullied, but also the most important point, that is, when the big guy is in the most danger, this rice shop stood up and saved all the lives

Whether it is gratitude or out of the credibility of this rice shop, anyone who enters is willing to come to Min'an Rice Store to buy rice

At this moment, the other merchants in the capital are all stunned, you have pushed the price of rice so low, what else are we selling, who can still come to us to buy it I want to wait for the supply of rice from Min'an Mixing, and soon they found that this is impossible, and the big ships are shuttling back and forth on the canal, and the grain is

When the officials and nobles saw this, they all understood now that the reason why Yue Su dared to do this was because there was a reliance behind it, not only the support of the Queen Mother, but also the British Duke and the Li family

Soon, some officials found that An Min Mi Xing didn't seem to have to pay taxes, but no one dared to impeach for a very simple reason, if he entered the family, he didn't have to pay taxes if he had a knighthood, and if anyone dared to come forward this time, it would not only offend Yue Su's family, but also offend the British duke, one was the No. 1 entry among the ruling officials, and the other was the No. 1 entry among the nobles
