"Miscalculated?"
The official officer was stunned when he heard the words, looked at him, shook his head, and said with a smile: "There is no mistake in the calculation. The governor has ordered that from now on, merchants from Qi State and Jing State merchants will be treated equally. Your tax amount will be recalculated according to the new system." , no more and no less."
The rich man stood there dumbfounded.
Merchants from Qi State and Jing State are treated equally
Who are you kidding
Even if you want to lie to yourself, you don't need to use such a clumsy excuse. This is Jingguo. How can the people of Qi and Jingguo be the same? I'm afraid that if he just paid the tax, the other party will arrest him for tax evasion stand up…
It's just that I haven't come here for half a year, and the officials in Shuzhou are getting more and more dark-hearted!
He looked at the official servant, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground with a thump, his nose burst into tears, and he cried, "My lord, I beg you to let the villain go. There are eighty old mothers on the villain, and eighty-year-old mothers on the bottom." Sui Xiaoer, if there is something wrong with this batch of goods, this winter, the villain's family will drink northwest wind..."
The official servant looked at him crying bitterly, and his eyes were a little moist.
He also has an old mother who needs to be supported, a child who is waiting to be fed, and a prodigal woman in the middle who spends money like water, for the mother's rice cooker, the child's snacks, and the wife's perfume...
For this month's performance, for the generous bonus, and for a fat year, he has to grit his teeth and persevere even if his mouth is worn out!
The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why bother to make things difficult for each other
He helped the businessman from the State of Qi up, and said seriously: "If you don't believe me, come on, come on, I'll take you to see the notice. The county magistrate personally told you..."
"Inspector Chen, what a bastard!"
When leading the businessman from the Qi Kingdom to read the notice, the official of this house cursed secretly in his heart.
If it weren't for the assassin's death order, he should be sitting at the door of the house and basking in the sun now, instead of talking to the merchants of Qi Kingdom here...
Governor's House.
Chen Chong, who was flipping through the file, sneezed, and Miss Chen San, who had just walked out, came in again and told him: "The weather is getting colder, Second Brother, put on more clothes. Don't catch the cold..."
Chen Chong put down the file, smiled and nodded, "Got it..."
At the same time, the small official of that house led the Qi State businessman out of the county government office.
The little official looked at the merchants of the Qi State and said, "This is also the state of Shu. Thanks to His Royal Highness King Jing's kindness, he knew that it was not easy for you to travel north and south, so he gave you so much preferential treatment. You will never meet such good people in other places." policy."
"Brother Guancha, I'm really sorry, I'm the one who judged a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain..." The businessman of Qi State said with an apologetic face, looking at the official servant.
At this moment, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and even felt a little light under his feet.
The chaotic place is not so chaotic, there is no banditry in Shu Prefecture, and even the government of Jingguo treats their businessmen as human beings and gives them so much convenience. Will this business go smoothly in the future
"Small things..." The household official looked at him and asked, "Where are you going this trip?"
The rich man smiled and said: "Go to Qing'an Mansion first, then turn to the capital by water, sell these goods, and then buy some things from Jingguo to bring back, and earn a hard-earned money in the middle..."
Many merchants in Qi State have similar ways of making money. They resell at two places and earn a difference. Don’t underestimate the difference. two years.
They are in the cloth business in Qi State, and they have accumulated some wealth by relying on several secret recipes for dyeing cloth handed down from their families. The business in Qi State was not bad before, but since Jing State’s high-grade fabrics flowed into Qi State, they began to lead the trend Since then, their business has been greatly affected.
In desperation, they had no choice but to start a business, from Qi State to Jing State, across the state and across the government. Fortunately, their cloth was the only one. Even if they got Jing State, it was extremely popular. China also has regular partners.
"It's not easy for you to travel all over the world..." The little official looked at him and said, "Anyway, you have two days to go before you leave. It is fate to meet each other. Why don't I treat you to a light meal?"
The businessman from Qi State looked at this little official and suddenly felt his eyes moist.
They were doing business in the Qi State, and those officials wanted to pump out all the oil on him to pay taxes, but when they went to other countries, the government not only took the initiative to help them reduce the tax amount, but the officials even invited him to dinner...
Comparing the two, in Shuzhou, he actually feels like home...
He sniffed, looked at the little official, and said solemnly: "No, thanks to your lord's care, I will treat you to this meal. May I ask which one is the best restaurant here?"
"How embarrassing..." The clerk shook his head, stretched out his hand and pointed diagonally across from the yamen, "That's it..."
The rich man looked up, only to see the words "Ru Jia Restaurant" clearly visible on the plaque diagonally opposite the yamen.
In the private room on the second floor of Rujia Restaurant, after drinking for three rounds, the two chatted for a long time, and the conversation gradually opened up.
The little official looked at the rich man and asked, "I just heard from Brother Hu that you are here to buy our Jingguo's fabrics and ready-made clothes. Dare I ask if these things are only available in Qing'an Mansion and the capital? "
"That's not true..." The businessman of Qi State shook his head and said, "Brother Nie, you don't know, although other states also sell it, but we want more, only in the big workshops in Kyoto and Qing'an Prefecture... "
The little official shook his head and said, "The one who doesn't know is you, Brother Hu, why don't you tell me that you can buy everything you can buy in Qing'an Mansion and Beijing in our Shuzhou?" See, what you can't buy in Qing'an Mansion and Kyoto, you can still buy in Shuzhou!"
The businessman of Qi State was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"Of course it's because His Royal Highness King Jing is here!" The little official waved his hand and said, "Let's eat first, and I'll take you down to have a look after we're done, you'll know..."
"Okay, Brother Nie, let me toast you first!"
"Take a..."
…
A moment later, the businessman from the Qi Kingdom stood at the gate of the west city, looking at the busy crowd working, and asked in surprise, "Brother Nie, what are you doing here? Are you building the city wall?"
"This is not building a city wall." The petty official shook his head and said, "Look, this area has not been built yet, it is all shops and workshops, and it will be built in two months. , From now on, there will be shopping malls, cloth sellers, clothes sellers, restaurants, cloth shops, and Goulan Inns, all of which are here... "
He looked at the merchant from the Qi Kingdom and said, "Even you can rent a shop here. There are merchants from all over the place here. If you want to buy something, you don't have to go all the way from Shuzhou to Kyoto. There is something in Kyoto, and there is something here... ”
"Is that true?" The businessman of Qi State's eyes lit up when he heard this.
For businessmen like them, if the process of going to Kyoto is eliminated, this trip will not only save time, not only travel expenses, but also greatly reduce the risk. If you calculate it carefully, you can save money. more than half of the cost.
What's more, time is money, and saving time is making money. If they have time to go to Kyoto, it is enough for them to go back and forth between Shuzhou and Qi.
The profit difference between the two is several times!
Not only that, the Jingguo government also allowed the Qi people to open a store here. Judging from the news he got from this brother Nie just now, Shuzhou obviously encourages and supports business affairs, which is not much in other places. See, it is also a great attraction for businessmen from all over the world.
If this "shopping mall" is built, with Shuzhou as the center, it will definitely be a battleground for businessmen from Qi, Jing, and Wu. If you can have a shop here-it will be like making money by sitting on the ground!
