If you want to show the importance of yourself, how can you not be positive?

Ning Wuxian said vaguely: "Anyway, sooner or later, I have to pay the tax in advance, so as not to waste it lavishly." ”

Seems to make some sense?

Shen Youchu tilted her head and pondered for a moment, and only when the carriage stopped in front of the mansion did she realize that something was wrong.

"Ning Gongzi, you usually patronize to make money, how have you ever spent money lavishly?"

Others will be idle and listen to a song in Goolan Courtyard.

Ning Gongzi would only chase chickens and ducks all over the mountains with knives and cook dishes.

The biggest daily expense should be spent on seasonings and refined salt, which is comparable to gold.

Ning Wuxiao saw that he hadn't fooled the past, so he simply smiled and sold a pass.

"I only make money and don't spend it, but I don't spend a lot of money, no, I came to the government to spend a lot of money."

Spend a lot of money on the government?

Did Ning Gongzi say pay taxes?

Shen Youchu tilted his head, thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply chose to give up thinking and got out of the carriage directly with Ning Wuxian.

I saw Ning Weiguo, who had just turned over and dismounted.

Shen Youchu gave a salute, Ning Weiguo hurriedly responded with his fists, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hook Ning Wuxian's neck, pulled it in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Okay, do you remember to come to see me?" ”

"Second uncle, you're thinking too much, I'm here to pay the quarterly tax...... Ahem...... Second uncle, you let go. ”

Ning Wuxian put a lot of effort into it, but he couldn't save his neck.

Turning his head to see the treacherous smile on the second uncle's face, he asked angrily, "Is there something wrong with the second uncle?" ”

"Hehe, I heard that you gave your second aunt a lot of silver tickets?"

It's a lot.

Ning Wuxian said in his heart: It seems that the second aunt is a copper plate and did not give it to the second uncle, and the second uncle's eyes are red.

Thinking that the second uncle is also a Zhaomo official, and there are a bunch of government officials under his hands that need to be wooed, and it is indispensable to check up and down, he understands why the second uncle is cheeky to hint at him.

"Second uncle, where was your last month's salary?"

Although the second aunt is diligent and thrifty, she will never treat the second uncle harshly.

You may not give too much pocket money, but you won't be able to do it.

When Ning Weiguo saw him mention this, he let go of his hand in embarrassment and picked at his brain: "It's time to make a fortune today, but I borrowed ten taels of silver from others yesterday and spent it on the old lady of the servant." ”

No wonder.

Ning Wuxian thought that Ning Weiguo became a Zhaomo official, and he only had ten taels of silver per month, and the result was the same as Ning Feng, Yueyue spent it all for others, and couldn't help but sigh: It's really a biological father and son.

What else can I do when I encounter such a second uncle?

Pay for it.

After all, the cost of favors, in a place like the government office, definitely accounts for a large part of the daily expenses.

Not only can this kind of money not be saved, but if you want to have a subordinate like Xu Sanshui who would rather die by himself than implicate Ye Tongju, this money has to be increased.

If some officials don't have money in their hands, they won't be able to hold on for a day.

"Yunfei, give the second uncle a hundred taels of silver tickets."

Yun Fei, who heard the order, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, found a hundred taels of silver tickets, and stuffed them into Ning Weiguo's hand.

Ning Weiguo took one hundred taels and looked at Yunfei with envy.

Yun Fei hurriedly put the remaining silver ticket into his arms, for fear of being robbed, his expression made Ning Weiguo embarrassed.

"I'm not trying to rob you of your money, this one hundred taels is enough for me to spend for several months, I think Xiao Yunfei you can take care of the money for you now, it's really good."

Ning Weiguo praised again.

Seeing that a government official came and asked him to decide how to hunt down the perpetrator of a murder case.

Ning Weiguo didn't talk anymore, beckoned Ning Wuxian to go back to the house for dinner, turned over and got on the horse, and happily went out of the house.

"What kind of elixir has Ning Erbo taken recently, he looks a lot younger than before."

Shen Youchu couldn't help muttering after the people left.

Mo Feining's Ping An Medical Center, is there a secret recipe for rejuvenation?

Ning Wuxian really didn't notice this.

Still, it's not that he can't understand it.

"The second uncle is this Zhaomo official, he has a place to use, just like a fish in water, he used to write documents for him to chew words, he couldn't even eat, he is not young, he is a normal life."

I was born to be useful.

It must be used in this way in order to promote prosperity and development.

Ning Wuxian said and walked towards the palace.

Just on the errand, Su Rui was making a cup of tea and putting it on the table, ready to continue to try the bitter master who accused the Ye family yesterday.

Seeing Ning Wuxian walking into the door, he was startled: "Who provoked him again?" ”

No one had time to answer, but seeing that Ning Wuxian had turned around and did not go to the lobby, but went to the tax office where the treasury was located, he suddenly perked up and asked his subordinates.

"It's July today?"

"Lord Stabbing Shi, today is the first day of the seventh month."

That's really time to pay your taxes.

But the Ning family's perfume shop has more than 100 taels of business, and it hasn't been open for a few days in the past two months, so it should be here to pay the quarterly tax.

"It's the first time I've seen this official to pay taxes so actively."

Su Rui sent his subordinates to check today's case report.

It may be the beginning of the month, and there are no relevant cases in the morning.

Su Rui simply left the lobby and walked towards the tax office of the government.

He and Ning Wuxiao were only half a stick of incense.

But by the time Su Rui arrived, there were already two account books and a stack of silver bills on the tax officer's desk.

At the top, there is a silver ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels.

Seeing that Ning Wuxian had taken out so much money, Su Rui asked in surprise: "Is Mr. Ning paying taxes?" ”

In addition to the different time limits for tax payment, the types of taxes paid are also different.

According to the nature of the business, the tax items are divided into tax pass, door tax and sitting tax.

For example, the goods in the border area come and go closely, and the toll tax is collected according to the number of road checkpoints and the assessed value, especially for goods coming to China from abroad, the tax is relatively high.

The door tax is the city gate tax, from one city to another, according to the number of taxes and fees, pay the tax can enter the city to sell goods, because the transfer of goods between cities, not necessarily can be sold, so the tax is relatively low, but the transportation cost is higher.

The tax is paid directly according to the revenue of the shop, and the tax amount is 1 out of 20, that is, 5%, which belongs to the highest level of taxes and fees.

However, after paying the tax, the goods will not have to pay other taxes and fees in Daxing.

Like the Ning family's perfume shop, it is the only perfume producer and merchant appointed by His Majesty, and perfume is a sought-after commodity, plus the Ning family has many famous people.

Ning Wuxiao can completely transfer the shop to someone else's name, and then use the strong liquidity of perfume to avoid taxes.

He does not pay taxes, and others ship perfume out of Jinling to sell, and he also has to pay other taxes and fees.

Even if you have to pay it, a symbolic payment of a few thousand taels in the first quarter, no one will say anything.

"Lord Su."

Ning Wuxuan turned around and bowed, and gestured to the account book.

"In addition to perfume, my family has recently added an ice-making workshop, relying on the trust of my peers and people from all walks of life in the business community, my two newly opened shops can flourish, I pay the tax first, and it also saves everyone trouble."

After he paid the tax, the remaining merchants he worked with did not have to pay another tax, nor did they have to spend energy to avoid taxes.

Naturally, they are more willing to cooperate with him at the same price.

Of course, the important reason why he took the initiative to pay taxes was not for the sake of others.

"Lord Su, others buy goods from me, and I don't know where to pay the taxes, but I paid the taxes to Jinling Mansion, and Lord Jiang can still make more money when he comes back."

Ning Wuxian is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name.

Opposite.

He deliberately rushed to be the first to pay the tax, just to get Suri's attention.

"In addition to the perfume shop, there is also an ice-making workshop? Mr. Ning's industry span is really too big. ”

Su Rui knew that there were customers in the perfume shop yesterday who went to pre-order like crazy, and he was too busy to inquire about how many bottles were sold.

But he wanted to defeat the Ye family's perfume shop, and this time he would sell no less than 10,000 bottles of perfume.

At this time, I heard that Ning Wuxian had opened a new shop, and I couldn't help but wonder how much tax these two shops had paid together.
