The Zhang Zhixian that Zheng Yue said is Zhang Zhixian, the county magistrate of Shanghai, who was born and walked in the officialdom quite cautiously. Especially in front of Jinshi, there is a big meaning for a concubine to see a big woman.

Li Wenming groaned slightly, knowing that his proprietor was still a new official, and many of the doors were not clear, so he had to speak thoroughly and clearly. He said: "Dong Weng, this year is the first year of our Huating to practice a whip method, and many things have to be explored. Especially this tax, there is an old saying: three points of tax and seven points of payment, it is easy to be sloppy. ”

The amount of taxes in Daming is not high, but the cost of paying taxes is high. At the beginning of the country, the peasants were asked to go to the government treasury to pay on their backs, and if they failed to pay within the time limit, they would be heavily fined. Thinking about those farming people, how can there be surplus labor to travel thousands of miles to transport grain? There are really few taxes, and all the family property is tossed on paying taxes.

The most painful thing is that when I encounter a black-hearted treasury official, I don't feed the tax grain and don't let the tax grain go into the warehouse! This is another big drawback.

Therefore, it is no accident that the grain chiefs in many places have changed from middle-class families to broken households within a few years.

Now Renshoutang is helping to collect taxes, and the collected tax money is still in the people's treasury - the size and security of the county government's treasury are not suitable, so they can only be deposited first. Speaking of which, these borrowed warehouses are also costs, even if people pile up forage, they will have a profit in a day. Because Xu Yuanzuo called Zheng Yue's teacher, he didn't care.

"Zhang Zhixian came to talk to Dong Weng about this, obviously he has his own ideas." Li Wenming said tentatively.

Zheng Yue said: "The Huaishui flood, the Cao Road is blocked, and some people in Shanghai propose to take the sea route. ”

"...... over there in Shanghai" Li Wenming laughed softly: "How much traffic can there be, Zhang Zhixian didn't say who instigated him?" ”

Zheng Yue was mentioned by Li Wenming, and his heart moved: Huating and Shanghai are just counties. The matter of paying taxes into the treasury can only be decided by the Songjiang Prefecture at least. Moreover, this year's tax and silver have just been collected, how much is transported to Nanjing, and how much is transported to Taicang (national treasury). How many in-transport depots and how many are retained...... These are not yet decided, why are you in such a hurry?

When you think about it, there must be someone behind it.

"Speaking of which, it costs more to transport and save money by sea. The stakes are high. There are pros and cons. Li Wenming said: "However, a canal from Beijing to Hangzhou, 3,500 miles, through the state through the government, through the sluice gates, up to the prince, down to Yunding, all pointing to it to eat and drink." Although there are people who benefit by sea, the power of these people can be compared to Caoyun? ”

Zheng Yue was a spirit, and he understood it in an instant.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. It's an enmity that doesn't share the heavens!

"Zhang Juren is dizzy, and the pit is on my head!" Zheng Yue patted the armrest lightly, quite angry.

Li Wenming bowed slightly and said, "Dong Weng, not necessarily." He waited for Zheng Yue to breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "This matter still has to be taken care of. Since there are people who are active, it depends on who is moving. Now that the southerners are full of pilgrims, maybe there are reliable backers? But we can't ask about it......"

Zheng Yue nodded slightly. I know what Li Wenming means. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. I was a little too excited just now. As for the candidate sent to inquire, Zheng Yue's mind immediately popped up with a fairly handsome face - Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo is his student and a member of the Xu family, and he is in business, so it is most appropriate to ask him to ask.

……

Li Wenming went to find Xu Yuanzuo early the next morning, but was told that Zuo Ge'er rushed back to Tang Xing overnight yesterday. This made him think about it for a while. Whether to chase Tang Xing, or wait for Xu Yuanzuo to return to the county seat. The most troublesome thing is that this matter cannot be written down, so as not to cause a big accident and fall into the hands of others. In the end, I decided to make my own trip.

Fifty miles from the county town to Tanghang. It takes most of the day to walk fast. This makes Li Wenming even more depressed, isn't the county town good? Baba ran towards Tang Xing.

He didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo had already decided to put his base in Tang Xing.

First of all, Xu Yuanzuo can be sure that Tang Xing will inevitably become the county governor of Qingpu County, and occupying the core of a county is the instinct of businessmen, and the profit is also the greatest.

Secondly, although they are all from Songjiang, the accent of Zhuli Tangxing is still a little different from the accent of the county. Xu Yuanzuo doesn't want to be a bat himself, like a beast but not a beast, like a bird and not a bird.

In the end, the main forces of Gan Chengze's family are all in Tang Xing, if anyone dares to be unfavorable to Xu Yuanzuo in Tang Xing, don't think about leaving Tang Xingcheng alive! For security reasons, Xu Yuanzuo also prefers to choose this place for the meeting.

Especially this time, the board of directors was opened, and six of the nine directors were Tang Xing, of course, a few people accommodated the majority.

As the secretary of the board of directors, Xu Yuanzuo's responsibilities are different from those of the board secretaries of listed companies in later generations. Here he does not need to release information to the public, and his main functions are to contact directors or shareholders, convene a board of directors or shareholders' meeting, and decide on the topics and agenda of the meeting. It seems that it is all errands, but in other words: I can have a meeting if I want to have a meeting, and I can't have a meeting if I don't say that I have a meeting; I said that whatever was discussed at the meeting, I would discuss it; I say how to discuss, on how to discuss.

In the end, Xu Yuanzuo was always able to convince others, unify his thoughts, and make the right decisions.

This "correctness" is, of course, also Xu Yuanzuo's standard.

"This year's earnings are basically the same as last year." Cheng Zai stood in front of the board of directors, quite apprehensive. He said: "One is that we have eliminated a lot of duplicate stores; One is that there are too many new rules, and people's hearts are undecided. When everyone settles down next year, the income will definitely be much stronger than when they started their own operations. ”

Everyone is looking at the tooth business. Although the actual income has not risen, such a large-scale adjustment, which is a consolidation and inspection, establishing rules, training guys, and catching up with the chaos of the tax season, is already very good if the income does not fall.

"The main thing is the tax package." Cheng Jae took a deep breath, hoping that he would look calmer. He said: "The total amount of tax and grain in the county this year is 720,000 Wu Qian 400 taels, because the first year of depreciation of silver is calculated according to one tael and one stone, including loss. ”

In fact, this is all agricultural tax, and even in the best economic time, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty cannot collect 500,000 taels in the whole country. For Huating County, it is very interesting to list a commercial tax of about 10,000 taels.

"My Renshoutang collects commercial tax at 30 taxes a lot, and I get a total of 230,000 taels." Cheng Jae took a breath and watched the reactions of the directors.

Yuan Zhengchun still has a casual expression, not letting people probe into the depths. The other directors couldn't hide the shock on their faces, and they were obviously taken aback by the 230,000 taels of business tax.

"Why, how can there be so many!" The director from Sijing asked silently.

Cheng Zai said: "The three houses of tooth shop, silk shop, and weaver are the big ones, followed by the shops. This is just the income of Xiada Town in Huating County. ”

Xu Yuanzuo frowned slightly when he heard this.

Although the tax of 230,000 taels is almost the top of the total capital of Renshoutang, the commercial tax is 3.3 percent of the business tax, and the threshold is more than 30 taels. Extrapolated in this way, the total turnover of the tax is only 7.66 million taels?

This means that Renshoutang's market share is low, and there are still a large number of entities to be levied that have not been excavated, or there is resistance to excavation. Another possibility is that Huating's business situation is not good enough, far below Xu Yuanzuo's estimates.

In the era when there are no statistical data, it is inevitable that the estimates will deviate greatly from the objective facts.

Cheng Zai misunderstood Xu Yuanzuo's frowning, thinking that Xu Jinglian was dissatisfied with this amount, and was full of joy, and hurriedly continued: "In terms of field tax, we will divide it equally with the county government after the full amount. Because there is a profit between buying in kind and then selling it for silver, the county government will get 10,000 taels of the extra part, and I, Renshoutang, will get ...... Six hundred and forty thousand taels. ”

Yuan Zhengchun's eyes instantly bloomed with the essence of a young man.

In the sound of everyone's inhalation, Xu Yuanzuo had already calculated quickly in his mind: this time a large number of external personnel were used, so the labor cost was slightly higher. Plus public relations expenses and other costs, deducting 70,000 taels should be enough. Retaining another 200,000 taels as a provident fund, the dividend per share can still reach six taels.

Even the shareholders who later entered the five taels per share not only returned to their capital in a year, but also earned one tael per share.

The Xu family's dividends in Renshoutang will reach a terrifying 240,000 taels!
