771. Envy, jealousy, hatred
After the agreement on loans and venture capital began, a lot of people came over to participate in the review. However, these loans are relatively easy and can be secured as long as they are secured. But for those venture capitals, the review is very strict, because if the venture capital fails, it will be a loss for Jingwen. Therefore, Jingwen has to carefully review the project, after all, Jingwen is reluctant to lose his own money! Of course, there are some so-called people with good reputations, filial sons and the like who can take out unsecured interest-free loans, which is also the so-called spending money to buy reputation. And Jingwen's interest is low enough, of course, it is low in this era, if in later generations, someone will definitely scold him for usury. Those merchants and ordinary people also looked grateful to Dade, because the interest rate was too "low".
However, all this money was obtained from other depositors, and Jingwen was not too distressed to lend it. However, as long as you have a reserve fund in place, there is not much danger. After all, as long as his credibility is still there, then no one will come to run. Banks operate on credit liabilities, and if they lose their reputation, they will fail. However, now with his own power, no one should dare to plot against himself and let people come over to run.
"Jieshuai, Luoyang Shaoyin wants to see you!" Ma Zhou suddenly came to the bank and said.
"Luoyang Shaoyin? Who is it? Jingwen asked.
"Luoyang Shaoyin is Jin Mouyan, the person in charge of Luoyang City." Ma Zhou said.
Luoyang was actually the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, which was equivalent to a municipality directly under the central government. In important places like Luoyang, Taiyuan, Chang'an, and Yongzhou, they are generally of high rank, and generally speaking, the number one leader, that is, the house pastor, is also led by the prince, but the actual person in charge is the deputy of the subordinate, that is, Shaoyin. Although those princes were remote leaders, they were not in charge of practical affairs, but only symbolically. However, if you can get these mansions from afar, it also means that the emperor trusts them. There is a status in the royal family. And just like that Li Tai, he was able to receive Yongzhou Mu from afar, which was enough to make Li Chengqian tremble, because this showed that Li Shimin loved Li Tai and gave him Yongzhou directly. Even if it can't be directly controlled, the political information here is too surprising.
"Why did Jin Mouyan see me?" Jingwen asked.
"What else can there be, someone is jealous!" Ma Zhou said.
Soon, Jingwen and Ma Zhou came to the mansion of Luoyang Mansion, and then met this Luoyang Shaoyin Jin Mouyan. And Jingwen actually found that there were a few people present, who seemed to be county commanders around Luoyang. They actually came here. However, they didn't have a good look in their eyes when they looked at Ma Zhou, they were obviously very angry, and envious and jealous. And Jingwen didn't know why these guys were so envious, jealous and hateful, so he hoped that Luoyang Shaoyin Jin Mouyan would take the initiative to explain.
"Lord Jingwen, you are making a fortune in Mengjin County now!" Jin Mouyan said first.
Jingwen immediately said modestly: "Where is it, I am just doing my duty." The emperor asked me to conduct a pilot project in Mengjin County, and specially to make this commercial tax a good pilot project. Then look at what the potential for business tax is. If business tax can have potential, then we might as well pay attention to business! ”
And Jin Mouyan immediately said: "Lord Jingwen, if you eat meat in Mengjin County, you should also leave us some soup and water!" You eat meat. Don't you want others to drink the soup? We are also officials in the same dynasty, so you can leave us some too! ”
"What's going on?" Jingwen asked.
After Jin Mouyan's explanation, that is, during this period of time, many businessmen traded and went to Mengjin County to trade. And in accordance with the agreement of the foreword. That is to let the counties around Luoyang raise the transaction taxes and fees for those things such as gold, silver, jewelry, perfume, etc., and then collect them according to the standard of 30% of Mengjin County. And those guys see that there is a stake in this. So it's all improved. However, although they improved, their service attitude could not keep up, so in the same situation of three percent, those merchants came to Mengjin County to trade.
This is also the time to compete for service, all of which are at the same price, and of course people want to go to places with good service attitudes. Now the tax collectors in Mengjin County, under Jingwen's advice, are also very polite to the people and taxpayers who pay taxes, and they definitely do not have the rude and cold-faced appearance of the past. Because, if they are spot-checked and complained about by then, then they will just get out of the way and don't eat this bowl of rice. Now, Jingwen promised them that if someone did well, he would recommend him to go to Chang'an to do things. And those small officials in Chang'an now have the opportunity to become officials, of course they have to be enthusiastic. They even hoped that if the rules of the officials of Chang'an could be extended to Luoyang, then they would be happy. Jingwen also stipulates that if ten of the taxpayers who serve each person can be spot-checked, and all of them can be praised by taxpayers for their service attitude, they can get bonuses.
However, for the sake of the future, of course, they must serve well, so that they can go to Chang'an to work and even get bonuses. In such a situation where there are prospects and bonuses, who do not work well, so that the enthusiasm of those tax collectors is also mobilized. And those businessmen also felt strange, how could these officials of the government and yamen be so polite. However, the service attitude is good, and ordinary businessmen are of course willing to come here to trade. In this era, the people are very grateful. If the government treats them well, they will be willing to repay them tenfold.
Mengjin County has a good service attitude, so let the people rather spend more freight and pay the taxes to the officials of Mengjin County. This is the return of the people, although there may not be too many people, but countless people are running towards Mengjin County, and what they get is a lot.
And because of this, Mengjin County's commercial tax is also rising. Mengjin County's tax revenue in just half a month has reached one-third of that compared with the agricultural tax. It's just a commercial tax, which may be available all year round, while other agricultural taxes are only available once a year. From this point of view, the commercial tax is much more than the agricultural tax.
However, this business tax is also relatively deformed. After all, the current situation is that Mengjin County has robbed all the surrounding commercial taxes, and the commercial taxes of the surrounding counties have plummeted in the past few days. Except for some people who bought and sold daily necessities, other merchants went to Mengjin County to trade. Therefore, the commercial taxes of other counties in Luoyang County have actually been robbed by Mengjin County.
"It turns out that they are complaining that we have robbed the market!" Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
