Chapter 118
Now Pingyuan County has implemented the policy of reducing or reducing commercial taxes by 30 percent, which is considered a big enough concession, but the Fan family is still not satisfied, and they have to reduce 70 percent of what they have to gain, and they are too much to deceive people.
Moreover, Fan Min also exaggerated, Pingyuan County used to be chaotic, but now the situation has changed greatly, the barbarian soldiers have been suppressed, not to mention, the lost population is also rising rapidly, how can doing business in Pingyuan County be stable and not profitable? Moreover, the business values profits, if it is bound to lose money, a fool will invest, and the Fan family has made such a big business, naturally it is not a fool, Fan Min said this is tantamount to treating himself as a fool.
Tang Yin suppressed his anger, still with a smile on his face, and said: "Since the Fan family has the heart to help my Pingyuan County restore prosperity, it shouldn't be about asking for returns! Now the reduction and exemption of thirty percent of the commercial tax is to stimulate those ordinary traders, and your Fan family has a big business, I don't think you need these so-called preferential treatments!"
Fan Min never expected Tang Yin to give him such an answer, not only did he not accept his conditions, but he also had to collect all taxes from the Fan family. Her face changed slightly, her smile became stiff, and she said quietly, "Your Excellency is not joking, are you?"
"Of course not. Tang Yin took a slow sip of tea and said, "How can you joke about such a big thing?"
"In this way, the adults are bullying my Fan family?" Fan Min's face sank completely, staring at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "If your Fan family doesn't bully me, how can I bully you?"
Fan Min was stunned for a moment, and asked: "When have we offended adults, I hope that adults will say it clearly!"
Tang Yin said: "It's now! Your Fan family has obviously opened a teahouse in Hengcheng, and there is an endless stream of tea customers every night, but now you are coming to me to complain that you will lose money, am I not a fool? I can tell you clearly, your Fan family wants to open teahouses, restaurants and other shops in Pingyuan County, I will welcome them, but if you want to rely on the Fan family's wealth to bully me and force me to make any concessions, then I'm sorry, I will make it difficult for your Fan family to move an inch in Pingyuan County!"
Fan Min was secretly surprised that the fact that he had opened a teahouse in Hengcheng had not been publicized to the outside world, how did Tang Yin know? Besides, how did he know that the business of the teahouse was good?
Seeing the astonishment on her face, Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said: "I know more than that, the drama staged in your Fan family's teahouse is also very lively! Of course, this is your means of attracting tea customers and soliciting business, I will not restrict it, I say this just to let you understand, don't treat me as a reckless man who doesn't know anything and can only lead troops to fight!"
Fan Min took a breath, although she had only chatted with Tang Yin for a few words, she didn't dare to show contempt in her attitude, Tang Yin was much more difficult than she imagined. She said faintly: "Since Lord Tang is a smart person, he should understand the relationship between our Fan family and the royal court magnates, and offend us, I don't think it will be good for Lord Tang's career!"
Tang Yin chuckled on his back and said proudly: "If I really cared about these things, and I was really afraid of your Fan family, I wouldn't have said those words just now, wouldn't I?"
Fan Min looked at Tang Yin directly, speechless. She can't help but eat his hardness and softness, the other party will not be affected in any way after she reports her family history, and Fan Min is also the first time she has met this kind of person.
Seeing that her momentum was suppressed by herself, Tang Yin's heart was somewhat comfortable, and he looked at Fan Min, who was sitting in a daze on the chair, and said slowly: "I still say the same thing, the Fan family comes to Pingyuan County to do business, I absolutely welcome it, give an appropriate tax reduction, I can also consider it, but it can't be as much as you said." ”
Hearing Tang Yin's tone soften, Fan Min's spirits were greatly lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "How much can Lord Tang reduce my Fan family's business tax at most?"
"Forty percent at most!" Tang Yin replied simply.
Without waiting for Fan Min to speak, he continued: "Forty percent of the commercial tax reduction, this is the limit I can give at present, since I am willing to make such a big concession to help your Fan family, I hope your Fan family can also help me!"
When Fan Min heard this, he sneered in his heart, he was asking for benefits from himself when he said this!
I thought that Tang Yin was so tough and high-sounding, what a great character he was, but it turned out that he was just a greedy person. She sneered and said bluntly: "How many benefits does Lord Tang want, just say it bluntly, as long as my Fan family can accept it, I will definitely satisfy Lord Tang!"
Tang Yin knew that Fan Min had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't explain, he stood up, and said as he walked out, "Miss Fan Min, please come with me!"
Not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd, Fan Min followed behind Tang Yin curiously and asked, "Where do you want to take me?"
"You'll know when you get there. Tang Yin didn't look back.
Tang Yin took Fan Min directly to the silver vault. There are a lot of things seized from Wang Meng's house, and he is struggling with how to deal with these things, just when Fan Min came to the door, how could he not take advantage of this opportunity.
Seeing Tang Yin take himself to the bank treasury of the county guard's mansion, Fan Min was even more puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what tricks he was playing.
Entering the silver warehouse, Tang Yin opened the boxes stacked inside, and said: "These are all antiques, brocades, cloths and the like, hoarding in my hands is useless, I want to sell but can't find a suitable buyer, I think, Miss Fan Min will help me with this, take all these things, your Fan family has so much business, it should be easy to digest this little thing." ”
Fan Min first looked at the many items in the box, then raised his head suspiciously, looked at Tang Yin and asked, "Could it be that this is what the adults want me to help with?"
Tang Yin smiled and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?"
Fan Minyu's face was crimson, he thought that Tang Yin was hinting that he was giving some benefits, it turned out that people didn't mean that at all, but he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
She took a deep breath and rechecked the contents of the box. Born in a large business, her ability to distinguish commodities is naturally very comparable. Just by looking at the contents of the box, you can tell that they are worth a lot.
She asked, "Is that all?"
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "These boxes are all, a total of twenty-two boxes. ”
There are so many shops in the Fan family, all over the Wind Country, it is not difficult to sell these goods, but the twenty-two boxes of goods have to be liquidated one by one, which is not something that can be counted in a moment. She thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I can accept all these items from Lord Tang, and I will find someone to come to count and receive the goods!"
"Okay!" Tang Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Then all your Fan family's shops in Pingyuan County can be exempted from forty percent of the commercial tax!"
Only exempting forty percent of the commercial tax is far from the goal set by Fan Min when he came, but Tang Yin is too uncertain and too difficult to deal with, so it is not easy for him to relax and reduce forty percent of the commercial tax.
Fan Min was mixed in his heart, and after making an agreement with Tang Yin, he did not stay in the county guard mansion any longer, and after a few simple polite words with Tang Yin, he got up and said goodbye.
After Fan Min left, the two Shangguan brothers who were accompanying Tang Yin said in unison: "My lord, this Miss Fan family is too blind, you shouldn't give in to her." ”
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders, sighed softly, and said: "If I am just alone and alone, I can naturally follow my surname, but now, we should also focus on the overall situation and have a good relationship with the Fan family, which is also good for us, not only can speed up the recovery of Pingyuan County, but also digest the spoils we will get later." ”
"Oh!" Brother Shangguan didn't seem to understand, but he felt that Tang Yin must have a reason for saying this, after all, Tang Yin was much smarter than the two of them.
Fan Min did not break his promise, and the next day, he sent someone to accept Tang Yin's twenty-two boxes of items.
Tang Yin was not good at the liquidation of commodities, and he was not interested, so he entrusted Shangguan Yuanji with carte blanche to handle it.
It was similar to Shangguan Yuanji's previous estimate, and all the twenty-two boxes of items were liquidated, worth more than 100,000 taels of silver. At this time, the Fan family showed the true character of a wealthy businessman, and more than 100,000 taels of silver were sent to the county guard mansion within two days, and all the items were taken away by the way.
Fan Min did what he said, Tang Yin naturally would not be without credibility, he confessed, and all the shops opened by the Fan family in Pingyuan County were exempted from forty percent of the commercial tax. If the Fan family is just doing a small business, there is not much difference between one percent more business tax and one percent less business tax, but the Fan family has many businesses and the scale is also large, and the monthly income will increase a lot if the business tax is reduced by one percent.
In the next few days, Pingyuan County was very peaceful, but the officials were panicked.
The Dark Arrow is like a hunting dog, the whole county searches for corrupt officials, and its scope is not only Hengcheng, but the members also secretly infiltrate other towns to check on illegal officials, and they really find out a large number of corrupt and bribed officials, adding a lot of income to the county treasury.
The behavior of the hidden arrow caused everyone in Pingyuan County to endanger themselves, but it did play a powerful deterrent effect, and the officials in the county no longer dared to easily give private money, let alone do corruption and perversion of the law, so that the atmosphere of the government was very positive, so that the most direct benefit was the people below, and it also made Pingyuan County more attractive, thus accelerating the prosperity of Pingyuan County.
Even after saying that, Tang Yin had no facts. There is Shangguan Yuanji in government affairs and Qiu Zhen in military affairs, and he is at ease in this county guard.
Recently, however, he has been particularly fond of visiting the Fan family's teahouse, the purpose of which is to see more of the drama in the teahouse.
The drama of the Fanjia Teahouse is very common, and it is also the most direct reflection of the people's voice, Tang Yin can use it to understand what the people in the county want and what they are dissatisfied with, and then he can consult with Shangguan Yuanji to correct and improve it.
Fan Min is currently staying in the teahouse, she didn't know Tang Yin before, but now she can know her, once or twice I see Tang Yin coming and I don't think it's anything, but it's very strange to see it from time to time, and even she once thought that Tang Yin was not interested in herself, but soon she overturned the idea in her heart, because every time Tang Yin came to the teahouse not to see her, nor did she look for her, just to watch a play, and they were all dressed in civilian clothes, and the entourage around her was only two or three people at most.
