Li Kui really didn't deceive people.

But the reality is more frightening than the lies.

The ferocity of the officials is simply a demonic existence for ordinary people. In particular, the officials who act as tax collectors are even more distorted.

Who is the most powerful person in Da Song?

For the people, it is not the court that is high up in the court; Nor is it a general stationed on the border with a heavy army; It's not a royal clan that is raised like a pig or a dog. Rather, it is the tax collector who collects taxes.

For ordinary people, offending the tax officer, wait to break the house!

Kang Jin heard Li Kui ask, "Have you paid your taxes?" ”

After this sentence, I suddenly didn't have to worry about my life. The two people in front of them were not outlaws who robbed the road at all, but minions of the government.

As long as it is a minion of the government, it is inevitable that they will covet some small gains. After Kang Jin struggled to get up from the ground, he covered his waist and said to Li Kui: "I don't know what to call this person?" ”

"The second oldest in the family."

Kang Jin said with a bitter face: "Salute the second master." What do you think? Kang Jinbala circled, picked up all the money on the ground, and said to Li Kuiba: "The little one doesn't know that he still has to pay taxes for buying and selling food stamps, but fortunately, the second master reminded him that the little one was spared from prison." A little money, please don't dislike it. In the future, if there is a small reward, the benefits will not be forgotten. ”

"What? And later? ”

Li Yun jumped up and roared at Kang Jin.

Kang Jin was stunned, and felt that there was no problem for him to call the third master the kid Li Kui's second master. He arched his hand and said: "Third master, do you always look at a few of us, like rich and noble people?" It is to make a hard living in the wind and rain on the interface. Now the price of food in Yingzhou City has skyrocketed, the people are panicking, and the value of food stamps has also skyrocketed. But buying and selling food stamps, after all, is a grain stamp, you see this one, it is a grain stamp for April, worth 720 wen. ”

After speaking, Kang Jin took out a grain stamp that could be exchanged for grain from the granary of the government in April and handed it to Li Yun.

Li Yun pouted and said, "Can I recognize this thing?" ”

"What does the third master mean ......?"

Kang Jin really couldn't guess the intentions of Li Kui and Li Yun, he was a tooth business economy in Pingli, and there were many officials and clerks who traveled to and from the yamen. But they are all officials in the county. The other party may be from the state government, looking at the eyes. However, it did not prevent him from using the means of dealing with the county government to deal with the officials of the state government.

And seeing that Li Kui is not very old, he should be a newcomer to the industry.

If you are a veteran, how can you block people on the street?

Li Yun felt that he had an obligation and a responsibility to maintain the reputation of his family master, and coughed and said, "I'm not here to rob, and I'm not here to ruin your business for no reason." But if you don't pay taxes on doing business, I'm afraid it's unreasonable, right? ”

"Oops. Oh my lord! I can't afford to pay this tax. Kang Jin seemed to have been stepped on his tail, and cried bitterly: "You don't always know that the commercial tax of the Great Song Dynasty is five cents." For a business of 100 yuan, pay 5 yuan in taxes. But this is a ticket, not food! Buy today, sell tomorrow, if you pay five cents of business tax every day, who can afford it? Twenty turnovers, isn't it the government arbitrarily pocketing the money it says? ”

"You ......" Li Yun broke his fingers and fiddled with it a little panicked: "Don't talk, let me calculate." ”

"Don't forget it, he's right."

This little arithmetic is not difficult for Li Kui. He was pondering a problem, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty actually began to use all the bill transactions. Rather than let it develop savagely, it is better to standardize it and plan it in a unified manner.

In an era when the commercial economy was highly developed, stocks were almost not agitated.

And if stock trading is really levied according to the ordinary commercial tax, who else will play?

Kang Jin saw at a glance that Li Kui was the one in charge, and added: "Second master, you are always in the yamen, and you don't know the hardships of people on the street such as me." This grain stamp is worth more than 700 yuan, but in a transaction, the profit is only a dozen, and the maximum is forty or fifty yuan. Where is this money enough to pay taxes! ”

Li Kui nodded and said: "That's right, grain stamps are indeed not suitable for following the tax law of the Great Song Dynasty, and paying taxes according to grain will lose the meaning of circulation." That's a problem, okay, you guys come with me to the yamen. ”

"Second master, look!"

Kang Jin was in a hurry, and said that he had worked hard at this time, how could the two people in front of him still admit death?

To the Yamen?

Go to the Yamen, what other benefits can you two get?

But Li Kui didn't get in the oil and salt, and Kang Jin tried to bribe several times, but to no avail.

When he first entered the state office, whether it was the steward, the tea shop, or the secretary office saw Li Kui, they all bowed. It's just that Li Kui nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.

The second master.

The second master is short.

Honorific titles go on and on.

Kang Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out to be a Yanei, and he was scared to death. As long as he is not a servant, most of his purse is saved.

When Li Kui borrowed three halls to prepare for interrogation, Kang Jin was sure of Li Kui's share, and he didn't run away from the ya, which was long and pus was flowing from the soles of his feet.

Li Yun looked at the official seat under the plaque of the three halls, and his eyes were overwhelmed. asked Li Kui expectantly: "Second brother, can I sit down?" ”

"No one sees it, so why sit down?" Li Kui was disdainful of Li Yun's careful thoughts, he was a person who didn't have much concept of hierarchy, and looked at the seat under the plaque indifferently. In the tea shop, such a seat is also an ordinary lobby scattered seat, and even the elegant room can't get into the ordinary goods.

But if it is placed in the yamen, the same chair will cost a hundred, a thousand times, and even immeasurable.

Because this chair represents rank, the part of the official, and the majesty of the official symbol.

But these things are nothing in front of Li Kui. If no one saw it, he would dare to sit on the dragon chair. But Li Yun is different, he lives in a hierarchical family of officials, and the gap between officials and Bai Ding is a moat that cannot be filled with anything.

Li Yun was overjoyed, this is the three halls of the state government! Pingli sat down at least a sixth-rank official, and the moment he was next to the official chair, Li Yun let out a moan that was almost intoxicated.

This guy flew.

"Tell me, who are they and how long have you been in this business? How much is the current transaction? ”

"Two Yanei, I waited wrong." Suddenly, a gutless goods knelt on the ground, covered his face, and said in pain: "Wronged! ”

Smack-

Hugh is noisy!

Li Yun, who was sitting in the official seat, slapped the hall in surprise and shouted. Then I looked around nervously and found everyone with a satisfied face.

"We are all small people on the streets, and we are in the middle of the money, and we are going to and fro the economy."

Li Yun blinked for a while, according to the official's pomp, there might be a copy of the book. But can he count on Li Kui? This kind of hard work can only be copied by him. It's just that the surname Kang is too obscure, and Li Yun can't figure out how to write it, so he muttered: "The kang of the soil kang, people with this surname are rare, and the master has seen it for the first time!" ”

"Kang Long has regret and is over, and Yue Shuai is over, and he is over. It is not a kang of earthen kang. The corners of his eyes jumped angrily, how did this gentleman memorize his surname? I don't even know about this. The poor foundation laid by his father is about to be ruined by his descendants.

Li Yun pretended to nod his head, not caring at all about being ridiculed in his studies, and said nonchalantly: "Go on!" ”

There is nothing to say about the reselling of food stamps, and those who need to be matched between them are those who come and go, and the others are either merchants with food stamps in their hands, or residents in the city who want to buy grain.

Revenue?

It's pitiful.

After thinking for a while, Li Kui asked Kang Jin: "Since you are a tooth business economy, why don't you start a business of renting land and starting a business of reselling grain stamps?" ”

"I don't have to do it! Father. Kang Jin vomited bitterly and said: "Don't you know, on the ground in Yingzhou, the tooth line can't live anymore." The real estate in the city is controlled by large households. Pingli doesn't need tooth matchmaking. There is no need for us to buy and sell the fields in the countryside. If you don't find some business elsewhere, you can't do it. ”

Li Kui suddenly approached and said, "Do you think it is feasible to prepare an economic institute that trades with food stamps?" ”

"That's too good, don't look at this business as if it's not doing much. That is the person who has the food stamps in his hand and does not know that he can still buy and sell to make money, and the people who do not have food stamps suffer from being squeezed by the rice shop. If there is a special exchange, the villain dares to guarantee that the commission drawn each time is not much, but the trading continues. A food stamp, a one-time transaction, not much money? What about ten trades, a hundred? Food stamps are different from food, and they are a fluttering piece of paper that is easy to take and deliver. I don't know what Master Zhizhou thinks about making such a magical thing. It's a pity that the means of trading are short, otherwise the villain dares to guarantee that this business is no worse than opening a restaurant. ”

Kang Jin patted his chest and assured that he felt that Li Kui was very likely to be interested in this business.

And doing business, how can Li Kui's share show up?

Li Kui needs a horse boy, a loyal horse boy.

At this time, Kang Jin repeatedly expressed his loyalty, what are you waiting for?

Li Kui bowed his head and said, "I know." A few of you leave the yamen with your own money and belongings, Kang Jin, you wait. ”

In the backyard, Li Kui told Su Shi about the situation, Su Shi thought that if the food stamps could be bought and sold, it would solve the crisis of some people with money in their hands being controlled by the rice store, and felt that this was a breakthrough. At the same time, he also agreed with Li Kui's suggestion to reduce the tax on transactions, otherwise the people would suffer too much.

"Master, what do you think?"

Su Shi said briskly: "I'll see it!" However, don't you really need to do it? He's still good. ”

Gao Yu listened to the eyes of Venus, doing business? If he had this ability, would he squander the inheritance left by his parents? Besides, he is also very busy now, following Su Shi all the time, where does he have time to sit in the tooth shop?

After waiting for more than an hour, Kang Jin watched Li Yun fall asleep on the official case, and had the heart to leave, but at the same time he was worried that he would miss the opportunity.

After all, Li Kui does what he says, saying that if you don't want money, you don't want money.

He's a cheerful person!

Following a cheerful person, Kang Jin felt that his good luck had come!
