Chapter 146: The Son Is Out
Hearing Li Jinglong's words, Lu Ning's face sank and he said directly.
"Nonsense, you must not have this kind of thought, otherwise it is too dangerous, taxes are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, if no one pays taxes, how can there be a lot to feed us grandfathers?"
Li Jinglong still didn't quite understand, he told Lu Ning directly.
"But I also know that many people in those princes' families in the capital are also doing business, and they don't pay taxes, but no one treats them well, and we're just afraid that people will think we're too weak."
Lu Ning shook his head and told Li Jinglong very solemnly.
"You must remember that no matter what others do, you should do your part and what you should do, and you must not have the heart of comparison."
When Li Jinglong was about to say something, Fu Bo next to him gave him a look and signaled him not to say anything more.
The meaning is very clear, if he wants to refute it again, Lu Ning will be really angry.
In desperation, Li Jinglong had to take the two silver tickets to the tax department, and then slapped them directly on the table and said to the tax officer Sima Gang.
"Tax Officer Sima, I'm here to pay taxes, hurry up and give me a receipt, I'm in a hurry to go home, do you hear? Even if I cut in line and ask you to help me through the back door. ”
If other princes' families came here to pay taxes, Sima Gang didn't say anything, and just collected it.
Li Jinglong is a well-known gangster in the capital, he usually not only recruits cats and dogs, but also likes to fight in groups, and leads a group of gentlemen to fight someone or something.
Sometimes it is not pleasing to the eye, the imperial court officials are correct, and the level of an official like Sima Gang is not enough for Li Jinglong to see.
Thinking of this, Sima Gang felt a chill in his back, and he said directly.
"Little grandfather, don't play around with me, you do business, how dare the lower officials collect your taxes, besides, I know that this business is Lord Lu's, this is also a big guy, we can't afford to provoke it, he even dares to beat the official, not to mention our tax officer."
After finishing speaking, Sima Gang hurriedly picked up the silver ticket and put it back in Li Jinglong's hand before speaking.
"Go back quickly, I don't know about business, but when I say go to heaven, I don't dare to collect your taxes, let alone offend Lord Lu."
If it was earlier, Li Jinglong also thought so, but now that he is with Lu Ning, he naturally has to listen to his master's words.
Seeing that the tax collector said this, he directly put the silver ticket on the table, and then said a word.
"Tax Officer Sima, I came to pay taxes sincerely this time, not to play around with you, now I put the money here and receive it, you can open it for me when you have time, and send it directly to Changning County."
After finishing speaking, he didn't care what Sima Gang wanted to say, and went straight out.
Then he went straight to the capital, and after entering the capital, he first went to various stores to buy some expensive gifts, which probably cost thousands of taels of silver.
Returned to the mansion of Cao Guogong, you were reading a book at this time and saw your son coming in with a bunch of things, and when he saw such a precious, he couldn't help but sink his face and reprimand.
"Go home, go home, what are you buying so many things for? Is it that there is too much money and nowhere to spend it? Although our family has a bit of a family background, we can't stand your bad practice. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Jinglong didn't pay attention to his father's sarcasm at all, and directly took out a silver ticket of 40,000 taels and put it on the table.
"In addition to these gifts, I also prepared some silver taels for you, don't be polite, just accept it directly, this year's son has not spent less money in the house, even if it is filial piety to you."
Li Jinglong's remarks originally thought that he would move his father, but Li Wenzhong kicked him after reading it.
"Our Cao Guo Mansion is a relative of the emperor, you can't do that bad rule and law outside, and besides, won't your master teach you?"
Li Jinglong was very helpless, didn't he make it clear that he was really wronged by this kick, so he said directly to Li Wenzhong.
"Dad, you misunderstood, this money was earned by me and my master's business, and no one sent us money at all, and my master earned 800,000 taels of silver this time, this is just the pocket money he gave me."
After hearing this, Li Wenzhong's eyes widened instantly, he really couldn't imagine that this sentence was too difficult for him to digest.
As the emperor's nephew and one of the six founding dukes, his family is only 100,000 taels of silver.
But the pocket money that Lu Ning gave to his apprentice is tens of thousands of dollars in one shake, this is really too big, this guy is simply rich and rivals the country.
Li Jinglong told his father all the details of the transaction, and Li Wenzhong, who listened to it, was amazed and felt that Lu Ning was really an unborn genius.
It was only after he had finished asking the most crucial question.
"You have done such a big business, you have earned 800,000 taels, you must pay a lot of taxes, tax evasion is not a good thing, you must not make a mistake on this."
Li Jinglong let out a long sigh and told Li Wenzhong directly.
"Don't worry, we can't do this kind of thing without paying taxes in business, Master specially instructed me to pay taxes, and I have already handed over 100,000 taels of silver to the Tax Administration."
Li Wenzhong patted his son's shoulder happily and said with a smile.
"Okay, it's worthy of being my good son, this thing is doing very well, I have to make persistent efforts in the future, you can grow so much now, I don't have any regrets."
Li Wenzhong reported what he said from his heart, after all, although he was a famous general, Li Jinglong before was really uneasy.
After apprenticeship, Li Jinglong was able to be reborn, and Li Wenzhong was naturally very pleased.
