Chapter 1832 Subversion of cognition, mysterious boy!

"This official is the county magistrate of Lantian County. Today, the Yanhuang

Chamber of Commerce held a fundraising meeting in Lantian County. This

official represents the county government of Lantian County and the people of

Lantian County. Welcome you all and thank you for your generosity!"

Unlike other merchants who wanted to raise money, He County directly took the

donation card and walked to the donation box. He came to Lin Wenyuan's side.

The latter understood and handed the megaphone to He County. Ling stretched

out his hand to take it, and then used the function of the loudspeaker to

amplify the sound and said loudly to the people present:

"At the beginning of this year, Hou Ye established the Department of Commerce

in Lantian County. The purpose of the Department of Commerce is to create a

good business environment for businessmen. Although the tax collection rate

has been increased, the status of businessmen has also improved. In Lantian

County , Merchants, farmers, and craftsmen are all classified as civilians,

and the government treats them equally, and the children of merchants can also

go to school!

In this way, businessmen can do business in Lantian County without any

interference! In this short period of less than a year, Lantian County's

commerce has been thriving, and the county government treasury has a lot of

surplus so far! Earlier, Lord Hou had said to the official that the county

government levied taxes on businessmen and people on weekdays, but all taxes

collected must be taken from and used by the people.

Nowadays, the Northern Turks are watching my Datang. Although the county

government of Lantian County is not as rich as all of you here, but I am

willing to do my part for the imperial court. Therefore, the official today

draws 10,000 from the county government library. Always donate to the imperial

court, hoping that the imperial court can defeat the Turks and completely calm

the north! This is also the heart of the people of Lantian County to Tang and

His Majesty! "

As a "landlord," it is understandable for He Xianling to speak beautiful words

in front of these merchants who came from all over the world, but these words

he said are not just scenes, but have deep meaning, that is, Through this

fundraising meeting, this "signboard" of Lantian County will be used to

attract more businessmen to do business in Lantian County!

Sure enough, He Xianling's voice fell off, and there were bursts of cheers off

the court and outside the inn.

"Hey! Lantian County's government office is really magnificent, this donation

is ten thousand dollars!"

"Okay! A good one is taken from the people, and used for the people! Lord Hou

said it well! The county magistrate did a good job!"

"Lantian County is really a big change now. There are more and more shops and

more and more people!"

"This is all the credit of the Department of Commerce Hou Ye!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"But how did I hear that the Department of Commerce has changed the business

tax ratio from one in 30 to one in six? It has been raised five times!"

"It's indeed increased by five times! But the status of our businessmen has

also improved! And if you do business in Lantian County, you don't have to

worry about safety issues. There is no land ruffian daring to come to your

door to trouble you. It's tight! , I earn a lot more every month than before!"

"That's not it? You know that there are obviously more merchants in Lantian

County now than before! Everyone is not a fool. If there is no benefit, who

would be willing to smash their heads to do business in Lantian County?"

"Yes, yes!"

…………

The businessmen’s discussions naturally fell in the ears of He Xianling, but

he didn’t have the time to enjoy the praise at the moment. After he said this,

he returned the loudspeaker to Lin Wenyuan because of the time of the

fundraising meeting. It is very urgent. It is very rare for Lin Wenyuan to

give him this opportunity to speak alone, and now he has to hand in the

donation card and go to the second floor to go through the donation handover

procedures!

At this moment, Xiao Yu sat in the same place, and the words of the county

magistrate had already set off a huge wave in his ancient Jing Wubo's heart!

"The purpose of the Department of Commerce is to create a good business

environment for businessmen!"

"In Lantian County, merchants, farmers, and craftsmen are all classified as

civilians, and the government treats them equally!"

"Take it from the people, and use it for the people!"

Every decree in Lantian County will cause an uproar if it is placed in other

counties, because every decree is a big rebellion to the traditional "old

scholars"!

This is also Lantian County, Li Zexuan's fief, no one cares about this,

because as long as Li Zexuan does not rebel in the fief, even if he does other

things out of line, Li Er will not take him too!

Since ancient times, those vassals and vassals who conquered territories have

been like this!

The Department of Commerce established in Lantian County was more or less

heard by Xiao Yu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, but at that time

he didn’t pay much attention to the Department of Commerce, thinking that it

was just a playful act by Li Zexuan. The climate cannot be achieved, but now

after hearing the county magistrate He has systematically explained the decree

issued by the Department of Commerce and the governance philosophy he has

upheld, combined with the indisputable fact that Lantian County’s business has

begun to flourish, the shock in Xiao Yu’s heart and Suddenly, it is

unspeakable!

It turns out that merchants can exert such a powerful force!

I think that as the Shangshu of the Household Department, his main

responsibility is to take charge of Datang's purse for Li Er, but the

political achievements made by the Lantian county government now make him, the

veteran of the three dynasties, a little embarrassed!

Lantian County is considered to be a medium-sized county in the entire Datang,

but for such a medium-sized county, its annual business tax revenue is far

more than 10,000. The reason why it is said to be far beyond is because the

Department of Commerce has not been too large since its establishment. In half

a year, and now the magistrate He can directly donate 10,000 to the court,

what does this mean? This shows that through a series of commercial tax

reforms, Lantian County's government has collected more than 10,000 commercial

taxes in just half a year. In this way, does it mean that Lantian County has

collected more than 10,000 commercial taxes in one year? The total business

tax must be more than 20,000 Guans?

You must know that this is only the first year of Lantian County's commercial

tax reform. As Lantian County's reputation among merchants continues to

spread, Lantian County's commerce is bound to be more prosperous. By then, how

much this medium-sized county can collect in a year No one can predict

business tax, but it will definitely be more than it is now, not less than it

is now!

Imagine if all the states and counties in Datang could be as "powerful" as

Lantian County, oh no, even if there is only one-fifth of the "powerful" of

Lantian County, according to the fact that there are more than 1,500 counties

in Datang. To calculate, the tax collected by Datang in one year, only the

business tax, will be as large as six million!

Six million pens!

Thinking of this number, Xiao Yu felt a little breathless. If the Tang court

could earn 6 million units of fiscal revenue each year, it would not be a

problem for elite troops like the Xuanjia Army to arm ten units. At that time,

there was only a Turkic unit. Barbarians, isn't it like "beating a son"?

"Xiao Shangshu! Xiao Shangshu...!"

Just when Xiao Yu was "thinking about it" because of what the county

magistrate He said, the small official beside him awakened him from the

beautiful fantasy. After he recovered, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "What's the

matter? "

Dare to feel that this old man was disturbed by someone, "The Wonderful Dream

of Tang Dynasty" is still a little angry!

"Um...Xiao Shangshu, the county magistrate He just said goodbye to you. You

didn't hear him. He asked the young man to tell you that there are official

duties in the county office, so he should take a step first! In addition, boss

Lin is about to read to treasurer Mo. Name..."

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression unpleasant, the little official's heart jumped,

and he didn't know where he had offended him, but he still said boldly and

cautiously.

By the way, Xiao Yu had been in a daze for a long time, and he didn't even

hear the county magistrate He greeted him when he returned to his seat. At

this moment, the entire fundraising meeting had come to an end.

"Oh! Then you are ready to prepare, and go up for treasurer Mo in a while!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu settled down, and then said to the little official.

"Here~!"

The little official responded, then calmly sat down and waited silently.

"Qingmozhai is not clear, donate five hundred guan~!"

It didn't take long for Lin Wenyuan to shout from above, and the small

official beside Xiao Yu immediately got up and walked forward.

At this time, someone underneath could not help whispering.

"Qingmozhai? If I remember correctly, isn't this Qingmozhai shop in Xiao Ge's

hometown?"

"Yes, yes! It belongs to Xiao Shangshu's family! I heard that Xiao Shangshu

likes calligraphy and painting on weekdays, so he opened such a shop!"

"Hey~! So Xiao Shangshu has to donate today?"

As expected, the news of the merchant was the most informed. As soon as Lin

Wenyuan's voice fell, some people guessed the master behind the Qingmozhai!

That's right, Xiao Yu has to donate too today!

He just let the little official go out to withdraw money, and by the way gave

the Qingmozhai store deed to the little official so that the latter can

register the donation at the entrance of the inn in the name of Qingmozhai!

Although five hundred sticks are not many, it is what he expressed to Li Er!

Don't even think of him as a veteran of the three dynasties, but he has always

been an official and honest, and the wealth of his family is not comparable to

the wealthy businessmen in the lobby of the inn!

As for being guessed of his identity~www.mtlnovel.com~ This Xiao Yu doesn't

care at all. It is better to be guessed. He thought that no one would say that

he is stingy, disloyal and patriotic, right?

Lin Wenyuan, after finishing the Qingmo Zhai, read two more names. Finally,

everyone on the list finished reading. Lin Wenyuan pursed his dry lips,

breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Everyone, today’s This is the end of the

fundraising conference..."

"Wait~!"

Lin Wenyuan was about to announce to the crowd that the fundraising meeting

was coming to an end, but before he could finish his words, two teenagers

walked in from outside with two servants. One of the older teenagers said

loudly: "Boss Lin is carrying , We should also donate money!"

As the young man said, he waved the donation card in his hand. Everyone took a

closer look and took a breath, and saw that the card had three characters

"30,000 Kan" written on it!

A young man actually wanted to donate 30,000 Guan to the court? What is the

identity of this boy?
