52 Policy
As for the specific names, the person holding the pen said that in addition to paying miscellaneous taxes, there are also fines, depending on the length of their stall.
Like the fan seller next door, he has been selling it for more than half a year, and the consequences are very serious.
Don't think about falsely reporting your address or running away, there is a record when you first rent a position, follow that one to find the past, and the punishment will be doubled.
If you can run, a monk can't run the temple, and ordinary people who can leave everything behind don't have the guts.
"If you don't let the stall be placed, you have to pay a fine?" Qin Chuchu opened his eyes, there was such a rule.
After a few people had eaten, they rushed to the next house, saying, "As a farmer, you should farm and farm well, and all the income from private profits must be handed over." ”
People came and went in the streets, whispering and pointing at them.
"This is a rule that no one is allowed to sell except merchants?"
"Who was in charge of the stalls in the past, and people carried bamboo baskets into the city to sell vegetables to subsidize the family, who was in the way?"
"Isn't it just to take the opportunity to loot the silver, obviously the booth fee is ......"
The squirming voice provoked the tall man who took the lead to be displeased, and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't do your business, get away!" ”
Everyone pursed their lips and dispersed, this group of people is wearing knives, don't be unhappy to beat people.
The stall owners in the back were sad, and they would soon be investigated.
Qin Chuchu hurriedly asked the last sentence: "Poor master, can you tell me about how much money?" We won't be ready for a while......"
"Hmph, I heard that you have been on the table for less than two months, and it is only nearly ten taels of silver!" The tall one, to put it mildly, spits out a startling number.
They turned and walked away, looking like they were asking for a debt, and they looked for the people behind them, and the pedestrians avoided them.
"Ten, ten taels of silver?!" Fang Erniang and Sister-in-law Yue opened their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief.
Lin Dachuan next door trotted over, and he couldn't care about the smashed stall at this time.
Trembling, he asked, "How much do they say they will be fined?" ”
"Say that we have less than two months, about ten taels." Qin Chuchu listened to the noise in front of him, and the whole street was restless.
"You all want ten taels, then won't I die?" Lin Dachuan sat on the ground with weak legs and feet.
Fang Erniang waved her hand and said, "Don't panic, how much did they tell you?" ”
Lin Dachuan shook his head and cried with a sad face: "What kind of face do they have for me, they want to beat people as soon as they open their mouths!" This is clearly a robbery of money, even those who have been raided must also have a crime, why should we be fined?! ”
"There is no royal law anymore!" Sister-in-law Yue echoed indignantly.
"Don't talk about the king's law......"
An onlooker lady didn't go far, leaned over and whispered: "I heard that there are a lot of officials dispatched in the city today, and the lively streets are investigated at the same time, so I'm afraid that someone will hear the wind and run away." ”
Qin Chuchu saw that she seemed to know something, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, please sit down, I don't know what this means?" ”
"Didn't you just recruit soldiers some time ago, and tens of thousands of people were gathered from everywhere, but I heard that the military salary could not be paid."
The eldest lady waved her hand and said, "I also heard it in the teahouse, mostly for this." ”
Yes, a group of officials acting like this, swaggering through the market like bandits, must be an order from above.
The national strength of this Northern Liang is not very strong, and the treasury has long been empty after years of war, but no matter how poor it is, if the war does not end, it will have to continuously send human and financial resources to the past.
Qin Chuchu couldn't help but sigh, and asked again, "What else did the eldest lady hear in the teahouse?" ”
"I don't understand it very well, so I said that the king wants to increase taxes, and who stopped him, they all said that the man is a good official and works for the well-being of the people......" The eldest lady babbled a little, and changed her words and said: "I'm afraid this money will cost the merchant more!" ”
"What?" Sister-in-law Yue's heart jumped when she heard this, her husband's family is a businessman, "Auntie, can you elaborate?" ”
"I don't know exactly how, but I've heard a few words from those who understand." The eldest lady shook her head and said that she could not do anything.
Qin Chuchu looked at the vendors on the street again, they were merchants, but their expressions were not much better than Lin Dachuan.
"What do we do now?" Fang Erniang tugged at her sleeves, and the six gods had no master.
The eldest lady stood up to leave, turned around and persuaded: "Collect the stall first, otherwise there will be no reason to suffer." ”
She is right, the people don't fight with the officials, no matter how angry you are, you can still sue the yamen to the yamen?
Qin Chuchu and Fang Erniang packed up all the things, and Sister-in-law Yue went to bring the mules over and put them on the cart one by one.
"It's going to kill me!" Lin Dachuan was too lazy to move, and his expression was hesitant.
The peddler he went to, who had known him for a long time, came over and whispered: "If it's too outrageous, run away......
They kept the volume down very low, but Qin Chuchu still heard it.
Lin Dachuan has been selling for a long time, and he doesn't know how much silver he will be fined, and the official messenger wants the lion to open his mouth, and the civilians only have to be squeezed.
As the man said, it's better to leave than to sell all the land anyway, how much is it worth?
The three women put away their stalls and drove the mule cart back to Yongping Lane, and there was a lot of commotion along the way, and people were panicked.
"I won't accompany you to clean up, go back and inquire with the owner first." Sister-in-law Yue said.
Fang Erniang nodded: "I frightened you today, let's go back first." ”
Qin Chuchu also said: "If sister-in-law Yue has any news, please tell us." ”
"I know." She hurried to turn and go out.
Fang Erniang here held the clay pot and sat down on the stone bench, and for the first time there was no joy in counting money.
"It's okay now, our strings of incense are finished!"
"It happened suddenly, it's hard to say if it's over, I'll go out and inquire."
How could Qin Chuchu sit still, but Fang Erniang grabbed her and said, "You go and bring Ruoruo back, and I'll go back to the village." ”
Of course, I have to tell Liu Zigui about this, and the official will ask for ten taels when he opens his mouth, who can bear it.
Qin Chuchu thought about it and nodded in agreement, anyway, on the way to pick up Ruoruo, she could still inquire.
Such an unclear and completely passive state is not good.
Fang Erniang unloaded all the things of the cart in the yard and drove the car to take the lead, while Qin Chuchu ran towards the teahouse.
The teahouse is a place where many people rest, and there is a storyteller there, gathering a lot of people, and over time it has become a good place for big guys to communicate with each other.
Here is a gossip and sharing the news they know, everyone can gain something, and the teahouse business is booming.
As soon as Qin Chuchu entered, there was really a commotion inside, and many people were asking what was going on on the street today.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and greeted him, sorry that there were no empty tables, and asked her if she minded sharing a table.
Qin Chuchu had nothing to mind, he casually ordered a pot of tea and sent him away.
"A good end of the Lao Shizi investigation, it's nothing more than looking for a layer of people's fat and people's ointment from the head."
"That's it, according to everyone, it's bad luck to be involved in business this time?"
The guy at the next table has already talked.
"A few days ago, someone said that the military salary came out of nowhere, and today it will be moved, except for a little silver in the pocket of the merchant, who still has the ability?"
Someone nodded yes and sighed: "The scholars can't move the knife, and the farmers can't support themselves, so the lowly merchants are at the mercy of others." ”
At this moment, Mr. Storyteller came out, and he raised his hand to signal silence.
"Everyone, listen to me, Wei Moufang just summed it up with others, and roughly guessed the plan of the imperial court."
"Really? Speak up and listen. ”
The storyteller opened the fan and looked around at the people present, looking unbearable: "Anyone who has read the notice in the afternoon knows that the merchant has increased the clothing tax, 800 yuan per person per year!" ”
Some people who had not yet heard of this were in an uproar, and Qin Chuchu was also a little surprised.
What kind of clothing tax is this, it is so much higher than their poll tax, not to mention that as far as she knows, the merchant's poll tax is also doubled, which is too ruthless.
Without giving them much time to discuss, the storyteller continued: "With such a sweep on the streets, farmers are caught setting up stalls and fined harshly, do you know that this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone? ”
"Killing two birds with one stone?" Everyone was puzzled and hurriedly asked for advice.
"First, it is natural to be able to dig up a lot of silver coins and hand them over layer by layer to the national treasury. This is the second ......" the storyteller slowly stretched out his second finger.
"The fine is too heavy, presumably most people can't take it out, so what should I do?" He paused for a moment and said, "If you change your household registration and fall into the merchant, you can get a delay." ”
Everyone in the teahouse was shocked when they heard this, and they all said: "It's stupid to change your household registration!" ”
Knowing that merchants collect heavy taxes, they have been repeatedly suppressed, not to mention, their children and grandchildren cannot participate in the official career, and their lives are already sad, who still jumps into the fire pit.
Someone lamented: "But if you can't hand over the money, those people are afraid that they have no choice......"
"And what if someone escapes?"
Qin Chuchu raised his voice and asked, the crisp and loud female voice made many people look sideways.
The storyteller stroked his beard with a smile and said: "The yamen is also sure to make a profit, the people are gone, the houses and fields are confiscated, and he is converted into silver and handed over." ”
With such an explanation, the big guy is all confused, forcing people to death, and the court is invincible.
Later, Mr. Storyteller talked about the war between the Northern Liang Kingdom and the Baijin Kingdom, during which the two kings Zongtian and King Liezhu were how, Qin Chuchu didn't have much heart to listen.
The people at the table talked about the dress tax, and what merchants were lowly, and those who did not pay taxes were not allowed to wear clothes on the streets.
It seems strange to her, but it seems that there is no shortage of more ridiculous taxes in her history, and there are all kinds of things.
The world is not good, the order changes every day, maybe there will be some new policies after a while, Qin Chuchu feels that he should act immediately.
Nowadays, it is impossible to get rich by doing business, and if you easily change to a business, you are not worried that you can't pay taxes, but you are afraid that you will regret it one day and not be able to change it back.
This is not a democratic world, any demonstrations and protests are useless, and the yamen can even kill people with knives.
