"This military master, the things used on this are all for our own use, not for trading in the society, we have already paid taxes once for opening a restaurant, how can we pay taxes again?"

The shopkeeper saw this situation, and hurriedly went out to explain, dozens of horses were carrying 50 catties of rice on horseback, which was not a small caravan, so there were officers and soldiers coming over soon.

"Did you report to us?"

An official said with a sideways face, and when he saw that the shopkeeper was silent, he immediately sneered.

"Since there is no report, then all these things are moving goods, and we have to take 10 bags."

When I heard the officer's words, the people around me also talked about it, at most, it was twenty or thirty bags, and now you want to take away 10 bags of rice at once, what kind of tax can be so expensive?

"This general, I don't know what the tax rate of your country is, it's too high, right?"

Li Xiang has already come out of the house at this moment, and he is very angry after seeing this situation, Lao Tzu has already laid down the world for half the day, and he has never seen anyone talk so arrogantly to himself, especially you still come to collect taxes.

"What kind of thing are you, you dare to question our tax rate, you Datang businessmen have money, your tax rate is different from others, all these years of trading have earned our money, either leave 10 bags of rice, or immediately bring these things to me and get out, you can't enter Wacheng."

Hearing this person's unashamed words, Changsun Ze couldn't help it, so he was about to go up and drag him off the horse, but Li Xiang still grabbed Changsun Ze.

"Dare to ask this general, is this tax rate only for my Datang businessmen?"

Seeing that Li Xiang had an extraordinary bearing, this officer didn't dare to say anything.

"What do you care about so much? I asked you if you want to do business in the city, if you want to do business in the city, then you have to get the official here to exchange the official documents, without 10 bags of rice, you can't change this official document of yours. ”

After this guy finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several soldiers under his command were ready to carry the rice.

Li Xiang also basically understood that other merchants in other countries did not have such a tax rate, which was purely imposed on Datang merchants, and it is estimated that they also saw that the profits of Datang merchants were relatively high, so they had this idea.

"Coincidentally, I'm really not here to do business, this official is an official of Datang Anxi City, just go to meet your prefect, please lead the way, I want to ask if I Datang businessmen have to bear different tax rates."

Li Xiang's words startled these people, they thought that Li Xiang was just an ordinary businessman, but they didn't expect that after Li Xiang finished speaking, the entourage next to him actually took out the closed door, which was indeed stamped with the seal of Anxi City.

"You...... You, you are a Datang official? ”

When he saw the seal next to him, the guy immediately stuttered.

"It's written in black and white, don't you know how to read it yourself?"

There are also a lot of Datang businessmen on this street, after seeing this scene, although they dare not speak, but they are also very excited, they should give these people a little good-looking, from this month on, they treat Datang businessmen differently than before.

"This official is not responsible for this, if you submit official documents, then you should go to the prefect's yamen by yourself."

This guy's face was obviously a little panicked, and just as he stepped on the war horse and wanted to escape, he found that the horse's head had been pulled by someone, and he couldn't move forward at all.

"Presumptuous, do you Tang people still have a royal law? Do you really think this is within the territory of Datang? I can tell you, this is the tile city of my country, not a place where you scatter wilderness! ”

After this guy's words were finished, several soldiers under his command immediately took out their knives, Li Xiangzhen didn't know what to say to them, so look at your rusty knife, do you dare to take out such a thing and be embarrassed?

Li Xiang's subordinates were not to be outdone, and they took out their knives one after another and compared them with the weapons they had confronted each other, and immediately knew what the situation was.

After these weapons were revealed, these tile adults in front of them also understood, this is really not an ordinary businessman of the Tang Dynasty, they should be people from the Tang Dynasty government, if it is an ordinary businessman, how can there be this kind of standard weapon of the Tang army?

Over the years, they have also seen some weapons of the Tang Army, which are really sharpened like clay, at least the swords, guns and sticks they refine in China are not used, and they have to be cut off by others in one round.

"Do you want to go?"

Li Xiang rubbed his hands, and then slowly came to the officer.

"This lord, our well water does not interfere with the river water, you also have to do something here, in Latigong in Xiawa City, if you need any help, you can also help one or two in Xia, there is no need to make things like this, right?"

This guy privately increased taxes on Datang merchants, and he didn't get the consent of the local government at all, but because of this matter, they had a lot of benefits, so he sent people at the gate of the city to watch that as long as there were Datang merchants coming in, they would be heavily taxed.

If this is to the prefect, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit for him to eat.

"Under the Tang Dynasty official's surname is Huang, a single name and a word, and today I have to take care of this matter, if you pass by, I Datang businessmen don't know when you will be bullied, and they got off their knives, so I went to the prefect's yamen, if there are any merchants who have been blackmailed by him in the near future, you can also come together, and this official will seek justice for you."

Li Xiang's voice began to increase when he spoke, and none of the people around him had heard of this Lord Huang, but he did take out the seal of the government just now, so this must not be fake.

These people came to Wacheng to do business because the profits here were relatively large, and they slept in the open along the way, didn't they just make money? But who knew that after entering the city, he was blackmailed by this Tiragon.

At that time, they also went to reason, but they were beaten by these soldiers, although the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful, but after all, this is people's territory, if you want to get justice, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

I didn't expect to be so lucky today, there are Datang officials here, we have worked hard to pull the goods, who wants to make them a wedding dress?
