On this day, Tian Fan's father, mother and younger brother came back. Under Tian Fan's instructions and reminders, they did not show any special heterogeneity for Huang Yueying's strange appearance, on the contrary, they welcomed her arrival. Tian Fan talked to his father and mother, first greeted his parents' health, and then said that he was in good health, and it was better to go to Langya.

After talking to the old couple, Tian Fan took his younger brothers Tian Kun and Huang Yueying to his courtyard. Tian Kun is almost two years younger than Huang Yueying, and the cry of Sister Yueying's sister Yueying in her little mouth is very sweet, and Xiao Yueying's smile has never been broken. Looking at these two little kids, Tian Fan felt that it was good to be young, and he could do whatever he wanted!

Tian Kun is also very affectionate to Xiaohu, but Xiaohu is not interested in him, when he approaches, Xiaohu makes a whining sound to express vigilance. However, it didn't take much time to work, and under Huang Yueying's coaxing, the little tiger was quiet. Xiao Yueying and Tian Kun took Xiaoxue to play in the yard with Wangcai and Fugui. Oh, Tian Fan's father named the two dogs - Wangcai and Fugui! Tian Fan originally remembered the names of rhubarb and Xiaobai, and the two dogs were one yellow, one white, one big and one small. The old man was unwilling, saying that Tian Fan's name seemed uneducated, so the names of the two dogs were tragically determined - rich and prosperous! Tian Fan doesn't understand, who is uneducated?

Hui'er, Xiaoqing and Xiaoliu'er are chatting, and I don't know why these three people have so much to talk about! Bai Yuzhu was tinkering with her piano again, and Tian Fan was helpless to find that no one wanted to pay attention to himself! What are you doing? Why don't you go to the barracks? Now is a critical period for training, and I should go and see more. Hey, but I'm too lazy to move today!

When I was bored and helpless, someone came to report that Liu Bei was recruiting!

Tian Fan found that he had come in time, and there were not a few people coming, so he couldn't help but be a little happy. Liu Bei saw Tian Fan coming and said, "Let's start!" Seeing Tian Fan sit down, he continued: "Let's invite a few people to discuss today!" ”

Tian Fan looked around, Chen Qun, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Chen Qi, plus himself, a total of six people, and all of them were civil officials, I was dumbfounded, I was dizzy, I found these few, and I thought I came in time!

Liu Bei said: "Zizhong, say it! ”

Mi Zhu nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am engaged in the Lord's business, and I am mainly responsible for handling internal affairs. Now there is a crisis, and that is, we are running out of money! ”

Tian Fan asked strangely: "Lord, doesn't Xuzhou have a lot of accumulation?" No money now? ”

Mi Zhu said: "Boguang, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, recently we are repairing the city, arranging displaced people, and training soldiers, isn't this and that spending money like running water?" Although Xuzhou has some savings, but when Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou the year before last, he was robbed of most of it by the then Xiapi Xiangrong, and last year was a disaster year, we confiscated taxes, but also had to relieve the victims! Fortunately, your burning knife gave the lord some share, otherwise he wouldn't have survived now? ”

Tian Fan nodded and asked, "What is the lord going to do?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Didn't I have no choice but to summon a few of you here? ”

Several people bowed their heads and pondered, and after a while, Mi Zhu said: "Lord, Zhu has a lot of family resources, I am willing to donate half to the lord!" ”

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu with emotion and said, "Zizhong, if that's the case, I'll be so grateful!" ”

Chen Deng and Chen Qi glanced at each other, and also said: "Lord, my family is okay, and I am also willing to donate half of the family funds to fund the military!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "You have this heart, why should I worry about big things?" ”

Tian Fan said: "Lord! I'm against it! ”…,

Everyone was stunned, Tian Fan has always been a very docile character, and now he is directly against Liu Bei's words, which can't help but be a little surprising!

Liu Bei is not angry, he still has this amount of tolerance! He asked, "Boguang, tell me, why do you oppose it?" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said: "Lord, once you come, the money of the Chen family and the Mi family is not yours from the lord, but their own hard work, yes, they are willing to donate to the lord, but can the lord accept it with peace of mind?" Second, if the lord accepts it, will he always have a sense of gratitude to the two families? In the future, if they make mistakes, will they be lightly punished and make small contributions, and will they be rewarded as great merits? If this is the case, what kind of fairness can we speak of in the military? When other colleagues see this, will they also donate their family property in order to make a good impression on the lord? Those who have the ability, but are poor, will there be no way out? Third, although the Chen family and the Mi family are rich, our Xuzhou expenses are large, and this is not a long-term solution! ”

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and for a long time, Liu Bei stood up ashamedly, gave Tian Fan a deep salute, and said: "If it weren't for Boguang, Bei would have made a big mistake!" Please be prepared! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly pulled him up and said, "The lord must not be like this!" Where there is also a mistake, you should not speak so directly, I hope the lord will forgive me! ”

Liu Bei shook his head again and again, and said, "Boguang, Bei knows that loyalty is contrary to his ears, you don't have to worry!" ”

Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, and Chen Qi also stood up and saluted Tian Fan, saying that they were wrong, and naturally they had to make a mess!

It's easy for everyone to sit down, but at the same time they are worried! How can we solve the looming difficulties?

Sun Qian said cautiously: "Lord, otherwise we will raise taxes?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "There was just a big disaster last year, and it's hard to say whether you can collect taxes this year, how can you think about raising taxes?" This is not a good law! ”

Tian Fan suddenly said: "Lord, don't we have a lot of businessmen in Xiapi now?" How about we charge some business tax? ”

Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "The business tax of thirty taxes and one is not much at all, and it is not worth offending the clan in vain!" ”

Tian Fan said: "It's not the commercial tax, I mean, we levy heavy taxes on some special industries!" For example, in winemaking, our burnt knives are selling very well now, even if you charge a little more tax, it's nothing! ”

Liu Bei asked, "How much do you plan to receive?" Tian Fan said: "Burning knives is a luxury, ordinary people can't afford to drink it, we charge one-fifth!" ”

Everyone was amazed!

Chen Deng asked, "Can this work?" ”

Tian Fan said: "Why not? Our burnt knife is the only one in the country, there is no other branch, they have to buy it if they don't buy it! Besides, it's really not good, those of us who sell alcohol will drop the price a little, and the buyers will raise the price a little, and our tax will come out! In this way, almost 200 million dollars can be recorded in the account every year, right? ”

Mi Zhu calculated and said, "Well, in terms of the current output, it's about the same!" However, after a while, the business will expand and the tax revenue will also rise! ”

Liu Bei was very excited when he heard it, you must know that Xuzhou's annual tax revenue is only 500 million, if this is done, can it be exciting to have so much more money?

Tian Fan continued: "But the burning knife will not always be so expensive, when our aged wine comes out, the price of the burning knife will be reduced, and the proportion of taxes should also be reduced." Lord, the principle of our taxation should be to levy a heavy tax on luxury goods, and ordinary things, to collect less or no money! ”

Liu Bei asked, "Why is that?" ”

Tian Fan explained: "My lord, people who can afford luxury goods don't care about spending more money. But ordinary things, things that the people want to use, if the taxes are too heavy, then after the price rises, how can the people afford to use it? ”…,

Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard this, and several people suddenly realized it.

Tian Fan continued: "Also, for example, in the shipbuilding industry, if we lack warships, we will be exempted from taxes on the construction of warships, so that those who can build ships will build more ships!" If Xuzhou produces too much silk and too little silk, we will raise the grain tax and reduce the silk tax. Hehe, we adjust the tax policy at any time to stimulate merchants to produce items that we are in short supply, or to make them stop producing items that we already have surplus! In this way, we can indirectly adjust the types of items produced on the boundaries of our territory! ”

Several people nodded again and again, they had never thought about what Tian Fan said, but after thinking about it carefully, it made a lot of sense. After thinking about it carefully and agreeing one after another, Liu Bei decided to discuss a new commercial tax law by Tian Fan, Mi Zhu, Chen Qi and others, so as to collect commercial tax reasonably!

Liu Bei shook his head with some distress and said, "But this can't solve our urgent need?" Hey, it's hard! ”

Tian Fan thought for a while and said, "Lord, do you think you can do this?" Xuzhou's taxes will definitely be collected, but they can't be collected now, so there is an urgent need now! But if we use Xuzhou's taxes as collateral to borrow from major families, presumably, they should agree! However, in order to prevent the major families from distrusting us and thinking that we were doing the robbery in the name of borrowing, they asked the lord to make a covenant with them in the name of the state capital, and invited the world-famous Confucian and famous people to be notaries. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up suddenly, he didn't think about robbing other people's property at all, so this method is very suitable! First, there is a formal official document, there is the fairness of celebrities, the effect will be good, and second, this method is also a good way to deal with sudden emergencies! He stood up, walked back and forth a few times, waved his big hand, and said, "Good! That's it! ”

Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others successively said that they would participate first, and in this way, they finally solved the temporary urgent need in a reasonable way.

After discussing the specific implementation rules, Tian Fan said again: "My lord, there is another way to make money!" ”

Everyone was interested, and Liu Bei asked, "That way to make money?" Tell me it! ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Lord, we can sell salt!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Hehe, Boguang, although we produce salt in Xuzhou, it is mainly in Guangling County, and Guangling ...... In other places, the output is not large, and even if we sell all the salt industry ourselves, we will not be able to increase much! ”
