Chapter 301: Taxes are too low

In the past six months, a large number of people have poured into this eastern pearl city, and their arrival is not abrupt, especially since they have found superficial jobs as a disguise. After the whiteboard sneaked out of the palace, he communicated with them and picked up the news for the hostess.

Intelligence is one of her most important bargaining chips, and the eyes and ears that connect to the outside world must not be broken, otherwise she will really be trapped in the deep palace and will be at a loss!

Feng Miaojun rubbed his forehead.

She also knew that what the whiteboard said was the truth, but she missed Xu and Feng Ji. With Lu Chuanying taking care of him, Feng Ji should have successfully arrived in the Taoyuan Realm and taken root now, right?

And what about herself? She and Feng Jitian are on each other's side, and there are thousands of mountains and rivers in between? It is a distance of tens of thousands of miles, and even flying by the crane demon will take more than a month!

Heh, over the years, she has found Feng Ji several times, wanting to live a peaceful life with her adoptive mother, but she can't get her wish. Fate seems to be particularly fond of playing tricks on her, and every time at the end, she and Feng Ji are further apart.

Fu Lingchuan's coping method was soon released:

He did not directly announce the plan to move the capital, but announced that the queen was weak after a long journey, and when she arrived in the city of Urssel, she fell ill and would recuperate here for several months.

When Feng Miaojun heard this, he couldn't help but applaud.

His plan is not directly in line with other gate valves, but shows considerable flexibility and does not sharpen contradictions.

Most of the people in power know that the Queen of New Xia is just an ordinary person, who followed Fu Lingchuan from Anxia to Luofu Island in the Forbidden Sea, and then returned to Anxia...... This back and forth is not only tens of thousands of miles, I don't know how many journeys and journeys in the middle, and the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is a great burden on the body of mortal monarchs, and the Queen of New Summer is just a delicate little girl, and it is very likely that she will suddenly fall ill if she can't stand the tiredness.

Trauma and sudden illness are easy to treat, but overwork is the most time-consuming. The city of Ursel was originally the summer palace built by the Anxia royal family, and it is very suitable for recuperation due to its abundant water and grass and pleasant scenery.

The Queen of New Summer is here to recuperate, and her name is right.

Fortunately, Ursell itself has a set of institutions, and the decrees are issued here smoothly. As for the important ministers of the royal court, if they want their voices to reach the heavens, they must temporarily move to the city of Urssel to live close to the holy face.

Even if there were a few dissenting voices in the Hao family, they were suppressed by Fu Lingchuan.

Zhao Hongyin and a few other old ministers came over first, and then the gate valves in the central and western regions also arrived one after another.

The city of Usel, where nobles gathered, began to be lively, and more than 100 large and small restaurants and guilds opened in a row in more than a month, and the shops gradually prospered.

Sure enough, where the capital is, where the powerful are, where they begin to prosper. At this time, the royal court was also running as usual, there was too much backlog of affairs when the queen and the national teacher were not there in the early stage, and now they had to be screened and discussed one by one, Fu Lingchuan handled the government affairs for forty-eight hours at the longest, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot when he went to the court.

Feng Miaojun is idle. The Queen of Xinxia has no real power, and she usually sits in the court to put on a show, not to mention that now that she is recuperating from illness, the ministers do not often bother her.

Feng Miaojun was also happy to use this time to observe the courtiers and familiarize himself with the court.

The first to be illuminated by the Queen's light were the Four Cities of Midas. After discussion, the royal court opened a trading port here and traded with other countries.

At first, it was just a business route connecting the mountains and Jin, and Xinxia only charged a little money to buy roads. Nowadays, these cities have opened up special fields, and have become transshipment stations and trading stations for goods from various countries, and goods from the south to the north have begun to trade here.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Yanchang, some officials proposed that the commercial tax and agricultural tax in the special border cities should be equal to the agricultural tax, and that they should be 30 taxes to promote merchant trade. Light and thin endowment has always been the mainstream practice in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this idea has been recognized by everyone, but when it was sent to the monarch for signing, it was only stuck in Feng Miaojun's pass.

She refused a visa.

Fu Lingchuan approached her and asked why, Feng Miaojun was displeased: "The tax rate is too low, this is not enough to collect taxes." "If you want to collect business tax, you have to set up a tax officer, you have to have official teeth, such a meager tax, and there are not a few copper plates left to recover labor costs.

Commercial taxes and customs duties have always been one of the most important sources of revenue for the country, and Xinxia needs this money too much.

"If the tax burden is too heavy, the merchant will find another place to trade freely. The new queen was very smart, but she didn't understand the principles of commerce and trade, so Fu Lingchuan had to explain to her, "In fact, a special site called the Tiger Market has been opened up in the Red Embedded Forest, which is dedicated to the trade of merchants from all over the world, and it is sixty miles south of Mida City. It's a border area, and we don't have the right to clear it. ”

"Hey, there is such a place?" she knew as soon as she heard that this was the prototype of the black market, and she was immediately interested, "Have you been there?"

"No, I didn't. "He's been so busy lately, where did he get that time? Besides, how could he go to that kind of place as a person?

"I'm going to take a look. "She also stayed in Urssel for several months, and no matter how good the local scenery is, it is not as amazing as it was at the beginning. She admits that she likes to gather in civilian places, which gives her a sense of exuberant life.

He coaxed her and said, "You have signed this paperwork, and I will take you there." ”

"That won't work. She won't be fooled easily, "I'll make up my mind after reading it, anyway, it's not too bad for two days." ”

Fu Lingchuan habitually gave in: "Okay." ”

......

The next day, it was the royal court bathing, and the new summer national teacher took the queen out of the palace in disguise and went straight to the tiger market.

So far, Feng Miaojun has passed through countless cities, and even the capitals of Yu, Wei, and Yan have been there, so he has naturally seen the most prosperous markets. The tiger market, which is the size of a town, is temporarily hidden in a forest along the border because it is not officially recognized.

But it's already on a scale. There was no ready-made road in Tiger City, but last year a lightning strike increased the fire, burning a large area of open space here, and now it has been made a simple cover. The road surface was smoothed in the simplest way, and the soles of Feng Miaojun and Fu Lingchuan rustled when they walked.

It has been transformed into a wild bazaar, where many merchants haggle. Long before Mituo City was opened up as a commercial port, the Tiger Market already existed, which was formed spontaneously by the market. The goods here also seem to be dazzling, Feng Miaojun pointed to the bottle of fish oil and asked the price, it is much cheaper than in Mituo City, after all, there is no need to pay taxes, but the quality is ......

She walked around and found that there were more than 40 small fly restaurants, and the business was very good, but there were really green-headed flies flying on the table, and there were seven or eight post stations, ranging from large to small. Just by looking at these two things, she can judge the popularity of a business district.
