Chapter 203: Profiteers!

As soon as the news of the imperial court was about to levy grain, all the nobles and wealthy families were ready to raise the price of grain, while all the common people and commoners were in great distress.

Because in previous years, the grain collection was actually pulled out from the fingers of the people, and it was finally stopped for two years and the grain was requisitioned, and the people have begun to plan how to spend their lives. And the rich aristocrats are already planning how to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

But when everyone learned that the person in charge of this grain requisition was the son of the Cang family, General Cang Luochen of Zhenwei, the world turned upside down.

The people were all relieved, knowing that this grain levy had nothing to do with them, while all the rich nobles were all bitter.

Cang Luochen has always been resolute, this time she did not take the siege of the capital with soldiers, but directly asked people to shout in the capital, "The court will collect grain, and hand over the heavy reward within three days." And the implication in the words is that if she didn't send the food by herself three days later, then don't blame her for being polite.

Cang Luochen directly set up a court case in the ministry and sat there, just waiting to collect grain.

On the first day, Cang Jianhan was smart this time, and he was the first to pull the grain, and sent it to the officials in a big circle in the capital.

Cang Luochen was drinking tea in the ministry, and when he heard that the first person to come to deliver food was Cang Jianhan, he couldn't help but feel quite relieved. She greeted her with a smile herself: "Cousin." ”

"Your Excellency." Cang Jianhan gave Cang Luochen a salute in front of outsiders.

Cang Luochen stepped forward and helped him up: "My cousin is so different from me. ”

Cang Jianhan smiled and said: "I call you Luo Chen in private, but I still have to call you an adult in this official matter." ”

Saying that, Cang Jianhan asked people to unload all the food delivered, and the soldier gave the list to Cang Luochen: "The food is not much, but it can only be raised for a while, and it should only be done a little bit." ”

Cang Jianhan is still the same as in the past, he usually looks very kind and open-minded, but there is a touch of the same brilliance in his eyes from time to time, but perhaps because Cang Jianhan was extremely happy to donate silver and grain to set an example for the merchants in the capital, so Cang Luochen felt that Cang Jianhan was not so ......

People always have a first impression, and sometimes the first impression will be different from how they will feel after getting along with each other.

And on the first day, only Cang Jianhan delivered food alone.

The next morning, Cang Luochen asked for a reward for those who took the initiative to donate food.

The old emperor did not hesitate, and directly said that the active donors would be exempted from taxes within one year.

This tax is a lot of money for those merchants who trade money every day, but Cang Luochen suggested to the emperor.

There is no need for everyone to meet to pay 10% of the tax, only 20 places, each household will be exempted from 30% of the tax, and priority will be given to the next year's royal businessmen.

When there are more people who share good things, they don't feel that they are rare, and only the limited edition people feel cherished. And those who don't care about the 30% tax or feel that it is not cost-effective, Cang Luochen added another priority to run for the emperor next year as an attic, which can be described as a lure to want to make profits, and a famous lure to get a name.

When the old emperor heard this, he immediately agreed.

Such a generous condition is placed there, and there is no worry that no one will take the initiative to take the bait.

And the officials behind him couldn't help but sneer: "No wonder the business of the Cangjia side branch is big, and the people of the Cang family are profiteers!" ”
