Chapter 247: The sky is three feet high
Zheng Guobao looked at Liu Yiru's thin body, wrinkles and age spots on his face, and knew that he was telling the truth. If he hadn't been in love with the stack himself, according to his physique, he would have taken a sick break and returned to his hometown. Presumably within the Liu family, there are still many problems that have not been completely solved, and he can't unload the burden now, so he has to continue to carry the flag.
He didn't have a good impression of the Liu family's father and son, but the tiger didn't eat food. Now that Liu Yiru has made his position clear and Liu is strictly neutral, he has no position to chase and fight. "Old man Liu speaks loudly, I love to listen. As for offending people, I tell you the truth, I don't care. The emptiness of the treasury and the inadequacy of the state are far more important to me than to offend people. Zhang Jiangling doesn't dare to touch the commercial tax, which doesn't mean that I don't dare to touch it. I'm not a Wenchen, I don't care about the township party feelings, and I don't care about the same year. I only serve the Heavenly Family and share the worries of the court. I don't care if I can get money for the court and offend people. Old man, you are a big banner in Jiangnan officialdom, if I don't take you under the knife, who should I take with the knife? If you don't take the lead in paying taxes, others will follow suit, how can I collect this tax? ”
Liu Yiru saw that the other party was iron-hearted, and he also knew that persuasion would be in vain. According to his personality, he really wants to deal with Zheng Guobao, up and down. But now his physical condition no longer allows him to make such an enemy. His son can't hold up the scene, and the people of the Liu family need to be gradually resettled in order to protect their interests to the greatest extent in the future. This kind of placement may conflict with other generations of life. Now is not the time to go to war with the powerful, and the taxes paid left and right are not paid by oneself, everyone has to pay, and it is not simply from oneself.
However, since those merchants have invested in their own names, and now they have to pay commercial taxes, it is still not easy to open their mouths. Zheng Guobao saw that he was embarrassed, but he was also very considerate. "If Liu Weng feels that it is not good, it is better to just close his eyes and ignore it. In the course of time. Those merchants pay their own taxes, and it has nothing to do with your old people, do you say that's the truth? ”
When Liu Yiru returned home, he explained the meeting that he had already changed his clothes, bathed in fragrant soup, and swept away the traces of last night, Liu Kanzhi said happily: "That dog thief actually said so? This is the thief who is going to die. Make it self-defeating! What Zhang Jiangling couldn't do in the past, he actually dared to touch it, this time it was up to him to see how he was broken. ”
Liu Yiru said: "Don't be too complacent, the times are also strong, Zhang Jiangling can't do it, maybe he can't do it." Just talk about this mine tax supervisor. Isn't it now spreading to the provinces and eroding the country? Back then, Zhang Jiangling couldn't have imagined that he could have this means. Now our first priority is to settle our own family and horses, those taxes are a small problem after all, and the merchant and himself will deal with it, the old man does not care. But this temptation. can be regarded as figuring out his intention, this thief really came to Jiangnan to scrape the land, and he has no other intentions. You go back and tell Yangzhou to get ready, so that they don't panic when they get there. ”
Liu Yiru personally went to Qin on a mission and returned in vain. It spread quickly in Nanjing officialdom. The Liu system is not the largest system in Jiangnan officialdom, but it is not the smallest system either. The affairs of these businessmen are not a big deal, and the Liu family boss is in person, and he has not been able to protect a few businessmen who have surrendered to his subordinates. This incident has added to the talking ground in Nanjing, and secondly, it has also made these people aware of it. Zheng Guobao seems to be serious about commercial taxes and common practices.
Naturally, these people are full of resistance to the matter of collecting business taxes. Or rather, these people are concerned about the collection of taxes. Regardless of the agricultural business, they are full of resistance. So much so that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty on another plane, relying on the advantage of the southerners in the court, the three salaries were added to the north, and the south was required to reduce taxes. Even Zhejiang's tea tax was only 12 taels of silver a year, and regardless of the actual situation, various taxes were added to the north, and finally the people changed in all directions, and the displaced people entered the Beijing Division.
But now, it's not the time for them to go head-to-head with Zheng Guobao over tax collection. Liu Yiru, the boss of the Liu family, is old and old, and he is afraid that he is about to die, and at this time, the placement of the Liu family, the competition for vacant positions, and a series of transactions and negotiations are the focus at the moment. In contrast, the commercial tax and common practice are all minor issues that can be ignored for the time being.
There is also a quick return of Yangzhou salt merchant faction in Nanjing, Uncle Guo came this time, it is indeed a box to save money and a rake to make money, but it is only to scrape the ground, it should not be too much action.
In this context, those businessmen, their own backers, did not come to the rescue of them at the first time, but on the contrary, they turned a blind eye and let Jinyiwei lock up their own people. These brocade clothes are not coarse, but they are routinely asked, and after they are asked, they will close the person. Three meals a day, not away from the nest head and pickles.
Those wealthy businessmen, most of whom are extravagant people who can pay for a meal and can reach thousands of gold, how can this rough diet be eaten? If you want to eat well, it's easy. Jinyiwei is attentive and thoughtful, and ensures that all employees feel at home. All kinds of dishes are available, provided that you pay for them.
For example, thirty-one elbows and fifty-one fish, this is not a problem. Anyway, do you still care about this little money? If you are bored and panicked, it is also very convenient. The girls caught in the courtyards are kept not far away, and as long as you are willing to pay, you can bring people and let you stay for the night.
These rich businessmen were locked up in their banks, and their money was spent like water, and they also delayed their own business. After a few days, they gradually understood that this time their backers were a little unreliable. There were a few obedient people in it, who looked for their brocade clothes, and whispered, "A few troubles will talk to Qin Cha Na again, and the little one is willing to give double the usual silver owed in the past few years." ”
The first merchant who paid the regular amount of money and promised to pay five years of commercial tax and never evade taxes in the future was released. Qincha also gives away free services from bathing to banquets, which can be regarded as a good after-sales service. The others saw the signs, and they all agreed to pay taxes and make up taxes, and even guaranteed that in the future, without waiting for Uncle Jinyi to come to the door, they would take the routine to thousands of households.
Lei Shengyuan looked at the gold and silver sent by these rich merchants, and his eyes were a little straight. Who provoked this rich businessman in Nanjing? Usually when I came to the door, I didn't have a good face to look at, but as soon as Uncle Guo came, these grandsons obeyed. Or people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. While ordering someone to carry the silver, he carefully reminded: "Uncle Guo, now we are still locked up with those poor acids, how to deal with it?" These people are on the ground, and they still have some talents, and they are always closed, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”
When Zheng Guobao heard this, he patted his head, "Huh? And what about these grandchildren? It's broken, it's broken, it's been worrying about money these days, and I've forgotten all about it. It's just like this, go back and carefully interrogate, and then talk about it for a few more days. ”
Before Zheng Guobao became a relative of the emperor, he was also a member of the literati. I know that the energy of these people is not small, and they have nothing to do with the broken boots, scold the government, and even dare to beat the county master's long-term entourage. As long as they have enough of them, they can turn you upside down.
Fortunately, this time the matter is too big, the high-voltage line of the Demon Sect, whoever touches it will die. At this time, if anyone proposes to break the boot array, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to gather materials for Jinyiwei, so these talents are locked up in the line, and only their families ask people everywhere to dredge up, and no one dares to bring it up to make trouble.
As for the Qinglou on both sides of the Qinhuai River, since the raid that night, they all knew that it was terrible, and they did not dare to open for business for many days. In particular, there are brocade clothes and horses, patrolling back and forth, saying that they want to visit the remnants of the Demon Sect that day, and they are also frightened to find Fang, and they dare not come here to have fun.
Ren is the chef, and later Ren Yingying introduced Zheng Guobao. He was originally a hall master in the Demon Sect, and his martial arts were still hard, but he had no backers, he belonged to the neighbors in the sect, no one appreciated and promoted, and his position was never embarrassing.
