Chapter 404 A little surprise, not a respect(1/2)

As soon as Guo Dan left the lobby, Aunt Xu's face turned red. She clenched her pink fist, frowned slightly, and whispered to herself: "It's so outrageous!"

Before this, everything was as she expected, but when she reached this point, she suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

This made her very depressed.

She believes that to solve the problem of Kaifeng Prefecture, the problem of the vassal kings must be solved, because this is a big loophole. If this loophole is not plugged, everyone will use this loophole to evade taxes.

She is still looking at this matter with a traditional thinking. What is the solution is to change it.

I never thought that Guo Dan would go to cooperate with the vassal kings.

This is really a backlash!

This time she ignored that Guo Dan's thinking was originally the opposite of traditional thinking, and it could even be said to be two kinds of thoughts that wanted to be hostile.

Although this result may not be bad, because whether it is cooperation or solution, Guo Danke has to take care of the taxes of the people and the country, but this makes her very embarrassed. If she deviates a little bit, it would be fine, but it is completely the opposite.

What is it?

However, she was staying with Guo Dan and she had not expected it, let alone these people from Kaifeng Prefecture.

Aunt Xu knew that if Guo Dan really agreed with King Zhou, then the situation would be out of control and it would be completely unpredictable.

Fortunately, this time, Guo Dan was in a hurry and he didn't keep it.

Early the next morning, I saw many soldiers holding notices and posting them in markets, neighborhoods, and other places.

This immediately attracted many people to watch.

"What does it mean? Help us pay taxes?"

"Is this true?"

"All the notices are posted, can there be fakes? I said it, and I said it, as long as Guo Dan comes, he will definitely not let us pay taxes."

"I have to rush back and tell Daddy the good news right away."

......

Soon, there were bursts of cheers heard among the crowd surrounding the notice.

The statement is very simple, which means that I, Guo Dan, is favored by Your Majesty, and I am today. Therefore, I plan to give this kindness back to Your Majesty’s people. I will help the people who have ten acres of arable land in Kaifeng Prefecture and less than ten acres of arable land to pay all taxes.

Although it means that within this range, there is no need to pay taxes.

But this is not about tax exemption, but about my Guo Dan, who helps you pay taxes, which means that those with more than ten acres have to pay taxes.

This is not the way of handling the matter by the government, it is purely personal wishes. I like to help them pay taxes. Do you have any control over it?

But at the same time, it guarantees the obligation to pay taxes.

These "no" and "help" are completely different.

Of course, he could not leave Wanli aside. Everyone should remember that this is His Majesty’s blessing. The reason why I paid taxes for you is just to repay His Majesty’s kindness.

This flattery is really unmarked.

This immediately separated the ordinary people and the landlords.

Don’t you want to play with praise?

I will divide it for you and treat it.

The entire Kaifeng Prefecture is a celebration. When many people heard this news, they squatted in front of their homes or in the fields, crying loudly. They were so anxious for many days that they really needed to vent their feelings.

Because for them, this is not a matter of a few stones of food, but a matter of life. They really cannot pay taxes. Not to mention the lack of grain, the key is that many people are lost. If they have to pay full tax, then the income tax will only be more distributed to them.

If they don't pay taxes, they can still stick to it.

Because the burden on your shoulders disappeared all of a sudden.

However, when the landlords in Kaifeng Prefecture heard this news, they were all furious. What a world of tragedy? Do you know how to play? If you can't play, just stay at home. Since ancient times, you have never said that you only want the landlords to pay taxes, but you don't have to pay taxes by farmers.

If you dare to destroy the thousand-year ancient system, you will not induce God’s punishment. Who will induce God’s punishment?

In a large mansion south of Kaifeng Prefecture, four or five middle-aged men in brocade clothes were seen sitting inside.

The owner of the house is named Zhao Qinghe, who is a great landlord in Kaifeng Prefecture. These people are actually similar to the King of Zhou, and they have been here for generations, and their ancestors are either Jinshi or Juren.

"It's really outrageous. The profiteer actually played this trick with us. Does he think we are easy to bully?"

A man with a sighing beard and slightly fat body slapped the table angrily.

This person's name is Liang Yang. He was born as a Juren. He was also a great gentry in Kaifeng Prefecture. He also had a marriage relationship with Zhao Qinghe.

One person next to him said, "Brother Liang is right. I said earlier that I should give the boy a warning and let him know who has the final say in Kaifeng Mansion."

This money is a trivial matter, the key is that you are too disrespectful to us. The next day, I missed us.

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me."

Zhao Qinghe waved his hand and then smiled and said, "Do you think Guo Dan is willing to pay taxes for those troublemakers? No normal person will be willing to do so."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately.

That's the case.

Zhao Qinghe smiled again and said, "I think he was forced to do so, so he came up with this bad plan. As for him, he asked us to pay taxes, hehe, even if he wanted to pay taxes for us, we still won't give up. What is his identity as Guo Dan? A humble businessman and a Tongsheng who couldn't even pass the exam for a scholar. In the end, they all became a son-in-law for a tooth merchant and asked him to pay taxes for me. I, Zhao Qinghe, can't afford to lose this person!"

"Brother Zhao said it."

A person on the left said, "He, Guo Dan, can help millions of people pay taxes. If we are still stingy with this little money, it will really lose the face of our Kaifeng gentry."

"No, not bad. Compared to the tax revenue of millions, our little money is just a drop in the bucket. Then let's see what Guo Dan takes to make up for this tax. If it can't make up for it..."

The few of them had a very tacit understanding and looked at each other, and then they all started to laugh.

They had no intention of refusing to pay taxes, but this tax evasion was made with skills and they could not force their anus. They had already arranged it properly.

At this time, a slightly young man sitting at the end said, "I heard that Guo Dan had been to the Zhou Palace yesterday."

Zhao Qinghe said: "I have heard of this, and I sent someone to ask about it last night."

Speaking of this, he laughed contemptuously: "Then Guo Dan is really fantastic. He actually hopes that the prince can help him and take the lead in paying taxes, but how is this possible? If it weren't for His Majesty's sake, the prince would want to drive him out with a stick."

"Is that true?" Liang Lan laughed and said, "It seems that Guo Dan is just seeking fame. He is not as powerful as the rumors outside, but he is so naive."

They were right that it was impossible for the vassal kings to take the lead in paying taxes, but they never expected that Guo Dan would join forces with the vassal kings to share their money.

And now Guo Dan is calculating every penny in their pockets.

Due to some insomnia last night, Aunt Xu got up late today than before, but shortly after she got up, she heard the news that Guo Dan had already made a list, so she took a carriage to the street for a walk.

If Guo Dan had not revealed it to her yesterday, she would probably be confused. She would not believe that Guo Dan had the ability to help millions of people pay taxes, but now, she is not surprised by this.

She knew that Guo Dan did this to appease the people and then free up his hands to deal with the gentry.

Guo Dan's plan never considered collecting taxes from the people.

As a great businessman from later generations, Guo Dan really didn't have the habit of thinking about the poor's pockets. At least it was only the middle class who could get his eyes on him and calculate the poor's money. This was difficult to make and wasted.

Only those despicable liars will fall in love with the poor and get the little money.

As soon as I returned to the government office, I suddenly heard a crackling sound from inside, deafening. Aunt Xu frowned slightly and said to herself: "This seems to be abacus, but this sound is too loud."

She walked away in search of the sound, came to the backyard, looked into the fan-shaped stone door, and couldn't help but look surprised. She saw dozens of people in the house, and the corridor quickly twitching the abacus. They were all young girls and boys about fifteen years old.

Guo Dan was sitting on a reclining chair under the tree and chatting with a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this time, Guo Dan also saw her coming, and hurriedly waved her hand and gave a wink at the energetic young man beside him. The young man immediately stood up and went to the big house in the middle.

Aunt Xu walked in and looked around, "What are they?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "The Tax Bureau of Weihui Mansion, Weihui Mansion has nothing to do now, so I will dispatch them here."

The young man just now was Cao Xiaodong.

The capital city is no longer the main battlefield. The elites of Xinxing went to Weihui Mansion to station in Weihui Mansion very early and became the most mysterious department of Weihui Mansion. Until now, Zhou Feng and the others did not know who the tax checks and tax calculations were.

No matter where Guo Dan goes, Cao Xiaodong and others are charging into battle. This is related to Guo Dan's profession. The first thing he does is to collect information.

Aunt Xu asked again: "What are they calculating?"

"I'm calculating how much tax they have to pay to the Zhou royal palace."

Guo Dan laughed and said, "To be honest, I have to thank my ex-prefect for leaving me such a true and detailed land book. Even the 10,000 acres of fertile land in his cousin's family is written on it. I have never seen such a simple and honest magnitude of magistrate."

Because they have to avoid taxes, although household registration is very chaotic, the tax-free land book is written in very detailed detail. They are afraid that if they don’t write it in detail, Guo Dan will take advantage of loopholes.

However, if you write it in detail, it is impossible to leave no trace. Aunt Xu could see at a glance that this was revised, but they were not afraid. Anyway, many ministers in the court supported them to do this, and the emperor could not say that giving more taxes to the vassal kings is not allowed, and they are fearless.

But unexpectedly, this helped Guo Dan a lot of time.

In less than three days, Cao Xiaodong and his friends calculated the income taxes of landlords and gentry clearly.

Zhao Family.

"Master, a Jinyiwei came outside and said he wanted to see you."

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Zhao Qinghe was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while before saying, "Let him come in."

After a while, a Jinyiwei entered the hall, and he clasped his fists and said, "Zhao Junwai, I am here on order to hand over this tax form to Junwai. I hope Junwai can pay the tax on time."
