Chapter 145 - Normal Payment of Taxes

However, Lu Ning does not have such worries at present, he is Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted nephew.

At this time, there were also Jinyi guards in Changzhou Mansion, and they had long known that Lu Ning had sent Li Jinglong to the capital to do cosmetics business.

This business made a lot of money, and it made astronomical money, which made them very hot-eyed.

According to normal speaking, if the turnover is 800,000 taels of silver, then you have to pay at least 100,000 taels of silver, which is the original rule of the imperial court.

However, Lu Ning is the viscount of the imperial court, and Li Jinglong can't be provoked, this little grandfather has a very hard old man.

With such a combination, you run to his door to collect taxes, completely disgusted that you have lived too long.

But Jinyiwei is very hot and greedy, and as a secret agency, they are not directly involved in taxes.

However, the local tax department must be under the protection of Jinyiwei to complete the collection of taxes.

Over time, a customary latent rule was formed, and every time a tax of ten taels of silver was collected, one or two of it belonged to Jinyiwei, and the rest was handed over to the imperial court.

This is a secret rule, so no one told Zhu Yuanzhang, but these tax officials and Jinyiwei have already formed a tacit understanding.

They also discussed together what to do, after all, if they could get a tax of 100,000 taels of silver at one time, this would be regarded as the performance of the tax department.

Jin Yiwei wants money, and the tax department wants political achievements, one wants to make a fortune, and the other wants to be promoted, all staring at Lu Ning's big fat meat.

Finally, Sima Gang, the director of the Taxation Department, said to Liu Tong, the commander of the Changzhou Mansion of Jinyiwei.

"That's it, let's not act rashly, you write a note about Lu Ning's business, see what kind of reaction Your Majesty has, and then make a decision, so that we can have a space to toss and turn."

Liu Tong also felt reliable when he heard this, so he wrote a recital and sent it to the capital, and then waited for the next situation to be reflected.

At this time, Lu Ning was talking to Li Jinglong there, since the business was so big and the money was so much, everyone was naturally very happy.

Li Jinglong is also a very caring person, he exchanged all the money for silver tickets, and they are all 50,000 taels, which is quite convenient to store.

At this time, Lu Ning took out a silver ticket from it, handed it to Li Jinglong, and said to him.

"During this time, you are also busy with the run, very hard, and this order is also pulled back by you, and the delivery is also done by you, for the teacher to know that it is not easy for you, you will take this silver ticket as pocket money."

After Li Jinglong took the silver ticket, his hands trembled a little, and the master was too reliable.

The pocket money is 50,000 taels of silver, you must know that even if your family is a national mansion, you only have 100,000 taels of family wealth.

Since then, he has decided that he must follow the master to mix well.

If you can learn more from the master, how can you still be the son of a cat and a dog.

After thinking of this, he picked up the silver ticket, and then solemnly saluted Lu Ning and said.

"Thank you, Master, if there is nothing to do lately, I would like to ask you for a leave of absence and go back to see my father, I have been too busy during this time, and I haven't even gone home to live in the capital."

Lu Ning nodded with a smile, and then said to him.

"You have such an idea, as a teacher is naturally very happy, filial piety is the foundation of life, but also the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, you have to always serve by Cao Guogong's side."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and instructed Li Jinglong again.

"By the way, when you go back, prepare more gifts for Cao Guogong, just say that I asked you to bring them, and at the same time say hello to him for me, when I have time, I will visit him in person."

Li Jinglong agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, when Lu Ning remembered something and said.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to do for you, this matter is also very important, it must be done in the next few days, otherwise it will be taboo again."

Li Jinglong shook his head, and he said to Lu Ning with a smile.

"Master, you are just too cautious, who would dare to taboo you with your identity, I know that you cleaned up those officials at that time, it was just too uplifting."

Lu Ning smiled indifferently, and then said to Li Jinglong.

"This is also a lesson I should teach you, remember that if others bully you, don't admit it, but no matter what position you sit in, never bully others, the strong have their own strong hands, and the wicked have their own evil people to grind."

After listening to Lu Ning's words, Li Jinglong thought about it, he knew that the master would not harm himself, and this must be a good word.

Lu Ning took out two more silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them to Li Jinglong before speaking.

"Our business is so big, the turnover has reached 800,000 silver, at least 100,000 taels of silver tax must be paid to the imperial court, this is what we should do, you take it and pay the tax."

Li Jinglong was a little stunned in an instant, with Lu Ning's identity, who would dare to come to his mansion to collect taxes.

Even if this tax is not paid, no one really dares to do anything, but the master is too conscious, so he said.

"Master, are you mistaken, we still have to go to the tax department to pay taxes, which tax official dares to collect our taxes?"
