When Wang Qing heard this, he was also trembling and relieved.

Fortunately, at least the person is fine.

Money, he out!

Hu Changan saw that things were almost done, and he also strode out of the Wang family.

There are still a few big merchants in Hu Chang'an to check in the back!

And after Wang Qing got up from the ground tremblingly, he also carried the account book and rushed towards the household.

After the officials of the household department made their intentions clear, the staff of the household department flipped through the register and said to Wang Qing: "You were found to have underpaid three hundred taels of silver in taxes this time. ”

"According to the rules, you will be fined three thousand taels of silver!"

What?

As soon as he heard this, Wang Qing was stunned on the spot.

Three thousand taels of silver?

This is half a year's profit!

Paying these three thousand taels of silver means that Wang Qing will work in vain for half a year.

Wang Qing is naturally a hundred unhappy.

Now that Hu Changan is gone, Wang Qing's desire for money has overpowered his fear of Jinyiwei.

Wang Qing's eyes rolled, and under the pretext of going back to get the money, he hurriedly walked out of the household.

Wang Qing's idea is very good.

Anyway, when I didn't have a business license before, didn't I do business the same way?

Without a business license, Wang Qing doesn't believe that he can't do business!

But Wang Qing never expected that without a business license, he really couldn't do business.

On this day, as soon as Wang Qing got up, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that he could not transport the cloth into Yingtian City next month!

Wang Qing hurriedly rushed to the outside of the city gate.

At this time, the Wang family's servants were in a stalemate with the guards guarding the city.

Seeing this, Wang Qing hurriedly squeezed into the middle of the guards and the servants.

Facing the guards, Wang Qing opened his mouth and came: "This guard brother, do you want to let us in if you don't be accommodating?" ”

Saying that, Wang Qing also secretly stuffed a few taels of silver for the guard.

However, the guard did not accept the silver handed by Wang Qing, but said to Wang Qing in a righteous and stern manner: "This, I can't accept your silver!" ”

"If you don't have a business license, you can't enter the city gate!"

If it was a small thing, the guards would turn a blind eye to it.

But in this matter, the guards can't be sloppy.

The issue of business certificates has been a hot topic lately.

The order from above is to let these guards strictly investigate.

If it is discovered that he has allowed these businessmen to let him go privately, then it is possible for him not only to lose his job, but even lose his head!

The guards didn't want to lose their heads for a few taels of silver!

At this time, Wang Qing was also stunned.

He never expected that the current investigation of this business license would be so strict.

It seems that the government is playing real this time!

However, Wang Qing's eyes rolled and he thought of countermeasures again.

Wang Qing said solemnly at the guard: "How can you say that I don't have a business license? ”

"I'm just handing over this trade card to another caravan out there."

Since the bribe failed, Wang Qing wanted to get away with it.

However, the guards did not listen to Wang Qing's words.

The guard said solemnly to Wang Qing: "Is your family called Wang's Cloth Workshop?" ”

"Yes." Wang Qing hurriedly replied.

The guard flipped through the booklet in his hand and glanced at Wang Qing: "You, why don't you tell lies and don't make drafts?" ”

"In the list of merchants we issued this month, there is no Wang's cloth shop for you!"

This is also one of Hu Changan's strategies.

For those small businesses, of course, Hu Changan can't track them one by one.

But for those big merchants, Hu Changan has a way.

In Yingtian City, there are not many big merchants in the Gonggong.

Whether these big businessmen have paid their taxes in full or not only needs to be checked a little.

For those businessmen who have paid their business taxes in full, Hu Changan is naturally a green light.

But for those businessmen who did not pay business taxes, Hu Changan was much more serious.

Want to get by?

Sorry, it's not possible at all!

Only merchants who have paid taxes in full can be listed on the list of honest management.

What if you don't pay your taxes?

Sorry, you can't even enter the gates!

At this time, Wang Qing panicked.

If he can't even enter the city gate with goods, then how can he, the Wang family's cloth workshop, continue to open?

At this time, Wang Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Finally, Wang Qing made up his mind and embarked on the road to find relatives.

At present, the Ministry of Household Affairs is still responsible for the collection of business tax.

Wang Qing believes that his relatives in the household department must have a way!

But Wang Qing never expected that his relatives in the household department would directly smash the teacup angrily after listening to Wang Qing's words.

Pointing at Wang Qing, his relatives were simply angry: "Wang Qing, for the sake of growing up together when we were young, don't hurt me!" ”

"What is the situation in the DPRK now, you don't know!"

"At present, although His Majesty has raised our salary, His Majesty's investigation of corruption is becoming more and more tight."

"If you are found to be corrupt, you will definitely have your head cut off!"

"I finally survived the last household purge, so I don't want to accompany you to wade into this troubled water!"

Seeing that his relatives were already angry, Wang Qing had to escape with his tail between his legs.

At the moment, Wang Qing really can't think of any way.

All the roads have been blocked by the imperial court!

Wang Qing really had no choice, so he had to go to the household department again and honestly hand over the three thousand taels of silver.

When handing over the silver, Wang Qing's heart was dripping blood.

Half a year's profits, just like that!

At this time, Wang Qing hated his previous idea of wanting to take advantage of a small advantage.

If he hadn't taken advantage of it, he wouldn't have ended up like this!

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

No matter how sad Wang Qing is in his heart, he can only obediently pay the silver.

After handing over the silver, Wang Qing finally got the business certificate again.

Looking at this hard-won business certificate, Wang Qing was almost moved to tears.

In the future, he must cherish this business certificate and pay business taxes honestly!

......

The commercial tax was thus carried out by thunderous means.

Soon, all the merchants in Yingtian City had a business card.

All merchants will take their business certificates every month and pay taxes honestly.

After all, if you don't pay the business tax, you won't even be able to enter the gate of Yingtian City, let alone do business.

Finally, a month has passed, and the time has come to verify the results of commercial taxation!

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang specially asked about the business tax in the early dynasty: "Everyone, I don't know how your business tax is?" ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to it.

The treasury has been empty for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang dreams of seeing a full treasury!

Only when the treasury is full, can Zhu Yuanzhang do some of the things he wanted to do before.

Whether it is to build dikes or to provide relief to the people, food and silver from the treasury must be used.
