The temple and Taoist temple environment is quiet, the accommodation is clean, and the monks will also provide a good taste of vegetarian food.

When you meet some levels of monks, you can also talk with guests about metaphysical papers, play hand talks, or even show the art of qin and tea. It is the favorite foothold of many scholars and officials from poor backgrounds who go out to study.

And this customer group is Xu Yuanzuo's target group!

Xu Yuanzuo put out Zheng Yue's name, and wanted to cut off the business of the temple and palace with public power, and one was to tell them: I did come to eat the flatbread, but you didn't have to eat this flatbread in the first place, and it was baked by my own brother. The second is also a warning: I not only have the Xu family as a backup, but also a county teacher!

Hu Chen's heart moved: If this is the case, I may be able to share some soup here!

Yuan Zhengchun said: "If the temple and Taoist temple don't live together, then the homestay can't be lived?" ”

Most of the people who live in the B&B are old customers, and it is not a pure business to bring friends to the old meaning. Just like Xu He is a layman, there are also a few places where he lives in a homestay, and they are all reliable people who met by chance.

Xu Yuanzuo figured out the market of Tang Xing, and naturally knew that Yuan Zhengchun was "striking the east and attacking the west". I asked about "homestay", which actually means "warehouse".

Because the Yuan family, as the leader of Renshoutang and the richest man in Tanghang Town, the biggest business is Yahang Port.

According to Xu Yuanzuo, it was actually the Emperor of the Zhu family who was crossing the river by feeling the stones, and he didn't know what policy could really benefit the merchant class.

Dental lines are a prime example.

In the second year of Hongwu, the imperial court ordered: "All towns and cities in Fuzhou and counties under the world are not allowed to have official teeth and private teeth. The background to this ban was that the Meng Yuan inherited the "heavy taxation policy" of the Two Song Dynasty, and merchants were extremely taxed - unless they were merchants with bureaucratic backgrounds. The official tooth is responsible for collecting taxes, and the private tooth is responsible for cheating. are the natural enemies of merchants.

This abolition decree in the second year of Hongwu was precisely to promote the circulation of commodities and protect the interests of small merchants, and it can be said that it is the precursor of the free market.

However, why did he later admit the existence of the official tooth?

Because the state wants to control the flow of people, if there is no tooth shop, it has to rely on the house (a combination of a store and a hotel) to undertake the inspection of the floating population. And this is not practical. It is impossible to say that there is no commercial tax at all. In addition, businessmen do need intermediaries to pull the strings, otherwise who knows where to find the source of goods? At that time, there was neither Ali nor the Internet, not even newspaper advertisements and yellow pages telephone books.

Seeing that the tooth line could not be abolished, in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the imperial court ordered the Ministry of Industry to "build dozens of houses, called the collapse of the workshop, and the merchants arrived, so that they could store the goods." Both pay taxes and trade with each other, and the tooth people have nothing to do. "This kind of official store is a collection of residences, shops, and teeth to establish a public platform, but in fact, it still excludes intermediaries.

In Emperor Hongwu's view, the intermediary's behavior of changing hands to trade for profit is simply fraud.

It turns out that there is indeed a need for the tooth man to exist.

Some tooth people imitate the form of the mansion, shop, and tooth of the official store. If you do it the same way, it will become a dental shop.

Because of the tooth line, there are shops, stacks and even guest rooms. And hire people to look at the goods, helpers, account rooms, and villagers, which require a certain amount of funds, so the imperial court can only stipulate in the "Ming Law Collection and Interpretation Supplementary Regulations": "All cities and villages of all colors and boats, and select people to fill the business." In fact, this is to recognize the legal status of the tooth people and restart the official tooth system.

The Yuan family's tooth shop has a tooth sticker, which can be regarded as an official tooth. But he has more than a dozen teeth in one tooth sticker. There are dozens of private dental shops under his name, and it is just a matter of not checking it, and if you really want to investigate, you must investigate and deal with it according to law.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Whether it's a homestay or a warehouse, it's reasonable and reasonable." How can the government check. ”

Yuan Zhengchun said: "I'm afraid that the county lord will cause trouble on a whim." ”

"Let's make money in harmony, and the county also points to the peace and security of the famous eunuch shrine." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Yuan Zhengchun knew in his heart: it turned out that there was still this offer.

He didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo casually asked for some benefits for his teacher, and thought that the Xu family and Zheng Yue and Zheng Xianzun had already agreed on bargaining chips.

"If it is advocated by Xu Gongzi's family, the county will naturally be admitted to the ancestral hall." Yuan Zhengchun stroked his beard and said.

"The family teacher does have the intention to benefit one party, not just to make a name." Xu Yuanzuo returned to the topic and said: "After my inn opened, I was naturally willing to pay the fees. In addition, we are willing to hire some children who have studied in the local area and cannot go to school. As for the innocent and hard-working handymen, they must hire a few more. ”

He paused, and then smiled at Hu Chen: "If Master Hu doesn't plan to do this business, I am also willing to buy and renew the inn and manpower under your name." ”

Yuan Zhengchun didn't care about Hu Chen's business, but just asked, "How much can you hire for this child?" ”

"It depends on how big the guarantor's affection is." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "From Tang Xing to the west, Beiganshan, Chonggu, Liujiajiao, and Shangcouch, I have to open a store, and some are places to employ people." ”

If you are not excellent, what should you do? If you have your own industry, you can also run your own industry, but what if you don't have an industry? Aren't these scholars a "burden"?

In places where culture and education are not developed, children can also be rural professors, but in a place like Songjiang, where "every family recites", students may not be able to sit in the hall, let alone those Mengtong.

There is no corresponding way out for scholars, and the corresponding situation is the decline of the status of scholars, so the people and students in the township party will pay attention to the issue of "employment rate".

Any decent position is valuable.

Valuable, means favor and money.

"How much is Childe willing to pay?" Cheng Zai, who had not spoken, asked out loud.

Xu Yuanzuo perked up and knew that the road to Tang Xing had been completely opened.

"I have to ask Mr. first, whether your land pays taxes separately, or is it a joint place, and Renshoutang pays it on your behalf." Xu Yuanzuo asked.

If they pay their own taxes, the fees collected by Renjudo are used to supplement the construction of the township. For example, building a land temple, laying floor tiles, doing a social drama, etc., the cost will not be very large. If Renshoutang paid the commercial tax and even the field tax of the entire Tang Bank, then the cost would be much higher.

Cheng Zai said: "The commercial tax in Tanghang Town is paid by the merchants in one place, and Renshoutang pays it on their behalf. The field tax is collected by everyone. If Xu Gongzi only opens an inn, and there are not many annual rules, how about ten taels of silver? ”

The commercial tax was supposed to be one out of thirty, but the wise Emperor Taizu was afraid that the officials would abuse the people, so he added a sentence at the back: no harsh taxation is allowed.

What does it mean not to be harsh? That is, how much was levied last year, and how much was still levied this year. If this year's levy is less than last year's, the problem is not big, and officials everywhere will make excuses than Xu Hehui. In case there is too much levy, you have to explain why it is too much. It may also lead to a distrust investigation by the Daoist officials.

Under this circumstance, the Ming Dynasty went from the depression period when there was no one household in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present day, "there are people who do not plough an inch of land and eat ointment, and do not use a piece of cloth and embroidery, I don't know its geometry?" In the era of commercial prosperity, even if the "market and door tax" was increased later, the total commercial tax did not increase but decreased.

The commercial tax of 1 out of 30 is only 3.3 percent, and the turnover reaches 300 taels, and it is time to pay 10 taels of silver. And the fee is only ten taels, so low that Xu Yuanzuo can't bargain!

"If something happens in the township, I won't sit idly by." Xu Yuanzuo readily agreed.

Cheng Zai raised the corners of his mouth, obviously reluctant to speak more.

Yuan Zhengchun saw that everything that should be talked about was discussed, got up and said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi is a happy person!" Today is about to set up a banquet for the son, and I hope to enjoy the light. ”

"Master Yuan is polite, in the future, Xiao Ke will rely on you a lot in Tang Xing." Xu Yuanzuo smiled, and he was as familiar as his own family.

Everyone got up one after another, each with a smile on their faces, as if it was really a happy event.

Hu Chen walked to Xu Yuanzuo's side: "In the future, we will be together, and we have to help each other." ”

"Master Hu is a senior, so he has to ask for more advice." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile.

Hu Chen was polite and walked out with the people.

Xu Yuanzuo and Cheng Zai, who were following behind, glanced at each other and smiled knowingly, knowing that each other was a smart person. He inadvertently glanced at Gu Shuisheng, suddenly became puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Why is there sweat on your head?" Not feeling well? "In the cold spring season of February, the stove in the hall is not very busy, and it is really strange to sweat.

Gu Shuisheng replied in a low voice: "It's too intense!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Yuanzuo looked dazed: Lip and tongue? Just now, it was clear that they hit it off and loved each other! (To be continued......)

PS: Note: Lu Ji said in "Pujiatang Miscellaneous Excerpts": "The luxury of Wu customs is not flourishing in the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou." There are people who do not plough an inch of land and eat ointment, and do not a piece of cloth and embroidery, I don't know its geometry? Cover the vulgar and extravagant, and chase the last one. Only in the words of the lakes and mountains of Suzhou and Hangzhou, its residents swim on time, and they must draw the boat and shoulder the shoulder, cherish the shame and be good, and sing and dance, which can be described as luxury. ”

Lu Ji has been dead for seventeen years since the protagonist died at this time, and he is a native of Nanzhi Songjiang Mansion, and his remarks can be seen. This name will probably appear in future chapters.
