Chapter 167: People and Wealth

Suri approached the scribe who was transcribing the list of tax items and glanced at it casually.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"The Ning family's perfume shop only paid a tax of 137,500 in May and June?!"

How many bottles of perfume do you have to sell to pay so many taxes?!

Ning Wuxian saw Su Rui so shocked that he almost roared out this sentence, and said casually: "Just yesterday's pre-sale, 20,000 bottles were sold in the morning, and I am ready to produce another 30,000 bottles, thinking of paying taxes, so I paid them together, plus the previous one, I didn't expect there to be so many." ”

Fortunately, Boss Zhao is efficient, and there were many people who sent him money yesterday.

Otherwise, he would have to go to the bank to withdraw money to pay taxes, but he really took off his pants and farted.

Su Rui looked at the fact that he had paid so many taxes, and he could still be calm and unharmed, and his mood was very complicated.

You haven't thought of it yet?!

Su Rui knew that Jinling's business was prosperous, and the tax of one out of twenty was quite high.

But without the "twenty", where did the "one" come from?

Ning Wuxian, he must have counted the money softly yesterday, right?

"Mr. Ning's perfume shop's tax is worth the tax of all private shops in Jinling this quarter."

Su Rui is not putting a high hat on Ning Wuxian, but telling a fact.

In other words.

Jinling Mansion's tax in this quarter has doubled compared with before!

The tax revenue of the government is basically supported by taxes, so it is an important criterion for evaluating the merits of local officials.

"As soon as Jiang Yan comes back tomorrow, knowing that there is such a large amount of tax on the treasury account, he will definitely come to the door in person to thank Mr. Ning."

Su Rui had to sigh that he was inferior to his classmates and friends in his eyes on Ning Wuxian's son.

No wonder Jiang Yan desperately didn't want an official hat, but also wanted to keep Ning safe.

This son is a great man's wealth!

"I really don't dare to accept what Master Su said, paying taxes is what merchants should do...... Besides, the tax I paid, according to Master Su, should be a little more than the quarterly tax of the entire Jinling private shop combined. ”

Ning Wuxian glanced at the other account.

That's when Suri remembered.

Ning Wuxian only mentioned that there was also an ice-making workshop.

As long as it does not involve retail sales, but only production and wholesale, other taxes may be incurred due to different regional taxes.

Therefore, the workshop is generally taxed at 1/50.

Su Rui actually didn't pay much attention to the tax in the workshop, but when he picked up the tax account and saw the tax payment of 20,000 yuan, the whole person was stunned.

Can an ice-making workshop earn a million?

This is a quarterly tax, not an annual tax.

The point is.

The registration date of Ningjia Ice Workshop is June 27.

Other words.

"Mr. Ning, your family's ice shop sold a million taels of ice in three days?"

If the ice from the ice mill is poured into water and sold, after several hands, the person who finally spends money on the ice will have to spend 3 million to say the least.

Don't you want money for the ice in Jinling?

Or are there so many rich people in Jinling that they are rotten streets?

Is this still the Jinling Mansion in his cognition?

Su Rui felt that he had been in the government for a few days, how could he seem to have lived in seclusion in the mountains for more than ten years, and he didn't know that so many changes had happened in the outside world?

Faced with Su Rui's shock, Ning Wuxiao took out the accounts to show him with a smile.

"Master Su, it's not that one million dollars of ice were sold, it's pre-sale, this ice is made of saltpeter, and it's divided into a variety of uses, in fact, pure ice has the most pre-sales, accounting for more than half of the total income."

Suri opened the specific accounts and looked at them.

The one who paid the most money was none other than Shen Youchu who was standing next to him.

There are also two familiar people.

The county lord of Xian and the young lady of the Ji Mansion, Ji Jin.

Look at the price of those pure ice - a pound of 100 wen?!

Suri gasped and flipped the page to look at the other pre-sale accounts.

After seeing the price clearly, he finally understood how Ning Wuxian sold a million ice cubes in just three days.

Cheap!

It's so cheap!

"Mr. Ning, is the saltpeter ice you said so cheap?"

"Yes."

Ning Wuxian didn't hide his secrets, and after talking about the general method of making saltpeter ice and its recycling.

Su Rui and the scribes and officials who kept the tax accounts were all stunned as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

In their cognition, only winter ice is stored and sold in summer, and it is the first time they know that there is a medicinal herb that can be made into ice cubes after being soaked in water.

"Mr. Ning, how did you know the ratio?"

Don't look at Ning Wuxian, what he said was very simple.

But Suri knows that it must have been through hundreds of failures to achieve success.

Saltpeter is not cheap for a pound, and I don't know how much saltpeter was wasted before I successfully mastered the heat of ice-making.

"Little by little, this recipe is actually derived from the observation of daily life, buy saltpeter in the summer, occasionally put some water on the side, it will feel cool, and then try many times, and finally know how to make ice."

Ning Wuxian's words were in line with Su Rui's conjecture on this matter.

Those who listened to the fire in their hearts were also splashed with ice water at this time.

They also want to buy a few pounds of saltpeter and try to make ice.

As a result, I heard that I would have to try many times, and I would fail many times, and no one wanted to plug the unknown.

A million ice money is indeed covetous, but if a large sum of money is spent, it will be wasted in the end, especially if the repeated use of saltpeter must be used in the distiller of the distillery, ordinary people can't get it.

Su Rui re-examined Ning Wuxian in front of him, and only felt that the image of this son was suddenly a lot taller.

This son is not only proficient in poetry, but also good at observation.

What's more, even though they are all pre-sales, he is willing to come and pay taxes step by step, which shows that he is an honest patriot.

"Mr. Ning, the quarterly tax you pay accounts for more than half of all the shops in Jinling, don't worry, these two shops under your name, this official will let Jiang Yan take care of them, and they will definitely not affect your income like the Ye family did at the beginning."

Taxes in hand, merit in hand.

Su Rui must have said something about the shops that support Jinling's taxes.

For this, Ning Wuxian guessed it as early as when he paid the tax.

He really needs the government to come forward and deter those Xiao Xiaoren who may covet the ice recipe.

As long as he pays the tax first, the ice cubes sold are labeled with the Ning family, and if other privately made ice cubes are circulated in the market, the government can directly confiscate them just because they do not pay taxes and disturb the market.

"Thank you Lord Su for your love, I will strive to pay more taxes next season."

Ning Wuxian said very seriously.

Suri was also full of excitement when he heard it.

None of them.

In less than two months, Ning Wuxian was able to have such a benefit.

If there are three full months from July to September, if there are no accidents, the tax amount in the next quarter will definitely be more than now!

Thinking of the Ye family again, as one of the top three wealthy businessmen in Jinling, all the monthly taxes add up, and they are only seventy or eighty thousand taels all year round, which is not as much as the Ning family pays in a month.

Suri felt that this could serve as a model.

"Good!"

"Mr. Ning has such ambition, he will definitely lead me to prosper my business and go to the next level!"

An idea that had germinated in Su Rui's heart before took root at this moment, and continued to grow under the stimulation of the tax amount, he couldn't hold it back, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Ning is ambitious in all directions, should he not only open a shop in Jinling, I don't know if he wants to open a shop in the capital?" ”

"If Mr. Ning doesn't want to go to the capital to open a shop, in fact, he can also make friends with famous talents, so that more people can know the title of Shixian."
