Li Zhi turned a blind eye to Du Ruhui''s grain store. The shopkeeper of the Tang family saw the general coming in and was about to greet him, but he saw that the general''s mouth was about to turn to the sky.
Lao Shao is the big rise shopkeeper of the Tang family who specializes in pearl trading. He has a very flexible mind. He can make his general follow behind and dare not speak. He can''t think of anyone else except the emperor and the empress.
"Hold on, Lao Shao. Go and take out the best pearls in the store and I''ll deal with the rest." Tang Hao said this in Lao Shao''s ear, which saved him.
After a while, there were five or six small glass jars on the big wooden plate. There were the smallest pearls in it, and longan was big. Among them, there was a golden walking plate bead, which was the most eye-catching. Zhaoyi used her long fingernails to move the big pearl on a plate. The big Pearl kept rolling in the porcelain plate. It was very beautiful.
She nodded, asked the emperor''s opinion, and ordered the guys to pack the box. Tang Hao''s heart is dripping blood. These are the treasures at the bottom of the ballast in the Pearl store. Now they are favored by her mother. Do you still expect their husband and wife to pay?
The cloud on Li Zhi''s face faded. When he was about to leave, he found four public figures walking into the door. The first civil servant with a soft hat arched his hands at Lao Shaogong: "Congratulations on getting rich. Shopkeeper Shao, we are happy to see that your business is booming. Bring us the account book and give us a quiet room. We and your taxes for this quarter will not disturb your business and entertain distinguished guests."
The literary officials all depended on their eyesight. When they came in and took a look at the hall, they found that several people here were not simple. They also specially saluted Li Zhi and empress Zhaoyi.
Lao Shao quickly brought the account books and asked the waiter to take them to the next room to calculate the accounts.
"Just do the accounting here, and you can arrange for them to show me the previous tax payment records." Li Zhi casually ordered the literary officials.
Master Zhang frowned and said, "noble people are noble. Small officials are clear. They dare not neglect it, but Hu Cao''s account books should not be seen by outsiders. This is the law. Small officials dare not violate it. If noble people have the practice of Hu Cao joining the army, there are naturally no taboos."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment. Few people refused his request. They were going to be angry, but they were not angry when they heard the officials say that this is the law, and cast an advisory look at Fang Xuanling.
"That''s true. Three years ago, the Ministry of household formulated and issued regulations on account books. One of them is that no one is allowed to peep into the account books without the person concerned. Violators can move three thousand miles with a staff of thirty. This little official is sensible and should not be criticized."
Li Zhi nodded and said to the little official, "now you can show me the account book, and no one will pursue you." Master Zhang still insisted. Lao Shao said to him, "Master Zhang, just show the account book to this noble man. It will be fine. Relax. You have obtained permission, and Lao Shao won''t hurt you."
Seeing that Lao Shao had made a guarantee, Master Zhang sent the account book to Duan Hong''s hand. He obediently stepped aside and waited for your consultation.
"In the autumn of the third year of Xianqing, Yuezhou government collected four silver items of Pearl tax, 16 transactions, a total of 1035 silver coins. There are records of silver payment and warehousing on them. I think it will not deviate. But I have never heard of the reason for this tax rebate of 133 Silver dollars. It is said that the silver coins that have been put into the Treasury will be refunded?"
Fang Xuanling just wanted to explain, but gave this opportunity to the petty official to see what he said.
"There are three kinds of tax rebates, one is tax reduction or exemption, the other is mistakenly collecting tax rebates, and the third is foreign trade tax rebate. There are 100 silver tax rebates here. Your majesty ordered the reduction or exemption of 10% of the world''s taxes in the third year of Xianqing, and Yuezhou will naturally implement it. Because Yuezhou''s tax collection is in the early autumn, your Majesty''s will was issued in the late autumn, so according to It is stipulated that 100 silver coins will be returned to the Pearl bank. The remaining 33 silver coins belong to foreign-related tax rebate. "
Li Zhi said with a smile, "well, I remember. There was such a purpose during the reign of Xianqing. You implemented it well. Don''t be nervous. Take your time. Then, how was such a foreign trade tax rebate announcement formulated? How did Yuezhou implement it? No matter what you said, I''m sure no one dared to ask you."
Seeing that Duan Hong was a eunuch, the master book became nervous, and Li Zhi''s words calmed down.
This is his other fault. He is angry with the central government minister, but he is always lenient to the officials at the bottom.
"You don''t know that there are many Hu merchants in Yuezhou recently. They have brought gold bullion, silver bullion or gold cakes. Silver cakes are far less exquisite than our Datang, and their fineness is not enough. When trading, the lobby merchants are unwilling to accept their variegated gold and silver. At this time, they will determine the transaction price according to the fineness of Hu merchants'' gold and silver."
The master book then explained in detail: "most of the gold and silver of Hu merchants are refined. If it is lower, then the bank will take it back and re cast it. After removing the fire consumption, there will be a certain surplus. There will be a surplus on the book, and the accounts will not be even. Therefore, the excess gold and silver will be regarded as the profits of the merchants and re taxed. If there is any surplus, it will be returned to the merchants."
