"Chairman Tian, come and take a look. There are several maps with clay. You think you should choose where to dig it for the first time. The officer will send someone to start work there, as well as these three iron ore mines."
Li Yu ignored what Chairman Tian thought, and took out a map of Changning County for Chairman Tian to read.
Chairman Tian was still thinking about why Li Yu was not in a hurry, instead he talked about taxes. Didn’t he know that merchants who cooperate with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce don’t have to pay taxes
When asked by Li Yu, he realized that it was a military map. When he leaned closer, he was disappointed. It turned out to be a game-playing map.
Looking at the map, Chairman Tian chose a pottery clay supply site and another iron ore. He didn’t have much requirements for the quality. The main reason is that these two places are close to the workshop. From the current situation Judging from the perspective, it is estimated that the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce will repair the road where the clay and ore are supplied. Choosing a nearby place can also save some money.
"Well, President Tian chooses these two places. The official will arrange for them in a while. The charcoal used for pottery will also be provided by a special chamber of commerce. He can rest assured when he grows up."
Li Yu circled two places on the map, and said to Chairman Tian: "There is one more thing, that is, there will be many craftsmen in the capital who specialize in pottery. They have nothing to do with you. You will see Don’t think that the officer just signed a contract with you and then asked other people to compete with you. There is no such thing.
If a powerful chamber of commerce comes to do the same business in the future, the official will also be biased towards you under the same conditions. After all, the official here has invested money and does not want to lose it at that time. Well, it's almost noon. Why don't Mr. Tian stay and have a meal before leaving? "
Chairman Tian was stunned again. He knew that Li Yu didn't want to eat with him, so he asked politely, this was nothing, no matter what it was not to eat, maybe Li Yu was not happy about the tax, and he could understand it.
But what do the many artisans from the capital mentioned above mean? And the latter, under the same conditions, prefer the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, what if the other party gives a little bit? Is it biased towards each other
President Tian, who couldn't settle down in his heart, had to ask when Li Yu was about to see off the guests: "Master Li, what does the artisan who is coming over do? Are there other chambers of commerce that are also interested in this side?"
"Craftsman, that is my best craftsman in Datang. After they took part in the competition in Beijing, some people were willing to stay, so they arranged to this side. This side is close to the capital. They don’t do business, they just go here to take ownership. Research and improve pottery in one place.
As for other chambers of commerce wanting to invest in the same business as the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, there is no such thing. I just said that if someone really comes, I can’t drive them away. It’s like a restaurant in a county. Is there a restaurant, and no one else can open a restaurant in the entire county
Don’t worry, President Tian. I still said that. As long as the conditions are the same, you will not suffer any loss. At the same time, I also promise that no matter how rich the people come, even if it’s the family of King Zhang, I Nor will it work with them. "
Li Yu explained to Chairman Tian again.
President Tian couldn't understand it for a while, so he could only respond, "That's good, then I will go back, and do the work of the workshop as soon as possible."
"Walk slowly, come and see off the guests." Li Yu stood up and sent Chairman Tian to the door of the house. After the greeting, the people continued to send him. He came back and sat on the chair and said to the screen:
"Little bug, you can come out now, have you seen Chairman Tian's expression clearly?"
"I see, I guess I won’t be able to sleep well after I go back. You may not be able to sleep well tonight, my lord, do you really want to punish the businessmen who cooperated with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce? If they are fined, they have lost money for the business they did a few days ago."
The bug turned out from behind the screen and asked worriedly.
Li Yu nodded earnestly: "Punishment, after impunity, businessmen should find ways to evade taxes. This officer should let the businessmen in the county know that if they want to get rich, they can do business in a serious manner. Don't always make ideas from other crooked ways. If you do, you can learn from the appearance of King Zhang's family and make more exotic things."
Seeing that Li Yu had decided, Xiao Chong did not persuade him, but muttered in his heart that if all the businessmen could be like Zhang Wang's family, Datang would be lively, and every day he could see many new things that he had never seen before. thing.
…
As Xiao Chong said, President Tian started to restless when he returned to the house. He felt uncomfortable in the hot weather, and the screams made when he knew it was noisy. After all, it was not pleasing to see anything, and it was bitter to drink.
One of the people from the Chamber of Commerce who went out to do errands came back. When he saw Chairman Tian, he asked with concern: "Chairman, have you agreed with Li Yu? Is he willing to withdraw the daily announcement?"
"What to withdraw? That is Li Yu's special method to prove that he is incorruptible, how can he withdraw?" Chairman Tian violently shouted at the returnees.
This person froze for a moment, then carefully looked at the face of President Fan, and said carefully: "President, have you encountered any trouble? It's better to say it, and I will find a way together."
"It's a big trouble. Li Yu doesn't know what it means. I first asked me a few days after I signed the contract last time. I specifically said that there are still two days left. Merchants will be punished if they don't pay taxes. I don't think so. When he came out, he was prepared to impose taxes regardless of the contract or any other means."
Chairman Tian tried his best to calm down his emotions, and said one thing to the people around him, but those who came back remained silent, waiting for the chairman to continue speaking.
"The second thing is that many craftsmen who specialize in pottery will come from Beijing. They are those who are left from the Beijing Craftsman Competition. They should not be bad at all. They don’t do business here, they just think about it, but who can guarantee that they are really good? Is that true? There are a lot of pottery here. If they join in, no matter how we use special methods to make people feel that it is a new technology, they may figure it out.
The third thing is that Li Yu mentioned that if a new chamber of commerce comes over, as long as the new chamber of commerce requires less benefits than us, he is willing to support it. He doesn't know if someone wants to come or he threatens us.
Tell me about three things in a row, which one can give people peace of mind? In case Li Yu really finds more chambers of commerce to do the same business as us, that kind of competition is the most uncomfortable. "
When President Tian finished speaking, he felt a little relieved. He picked up the herbal tea on the table and poured it into his mouth, looked at the people around him, and waited for the other person to speak.
The person who had just returned was also shocked by Chairman Tian's words, and whispered: "Chairman, or we should stop cooperating with other businessmen, does Li Yu mean that?"
"Are you stupid? Now we are cooperating with other businessmen and everything is in accordance with the contract. Even if Li Yu is unhappy, as long as he wants to make a face, he will not use other means to deal with us. Once we stop After cooperating with other businessmen, how would other people think of us
Scared? Can't do it? Or do you take the initiative to correct things after you know you've done something wrong? No matter what kind of view it is, it is not good for us, and we must survive it. "
Chairman Tian considered a lot of things, but couldn't solve them after speaking out, so he could only wait like this.
…
Two days later, the sky was a bit cloudy and the wind was still very strong. It was blowing from the southwest to the northeast. People who were selling and selling on the street outside knew that it was going to rain, so they packed up their things and looked for a place to take shelter from the rain.
There is no need for a shop with a house. Shunfeng Soup is a place where there are shops. Usually the business is good. The normal tax payment is half a month, a fixed number, not like some merchants who ship goods according to the goods. How much to pay.
The shopkeeper of Shunfeng Tangbing Restaurant, or the owner, whose surname is Wang, is named Wang Shunfeng. Today is the day when he pays taxes because it is calculated according to half a month. So, he dragged on for ten days.
But he was not in a hurry at all, even if the guy had already advised him in a low voice that he could not offend the Yamen, Wang Shunfeng felt that he would look at it again.
"All to me quickly, it's raining soon, and the people who set up the stall outside can't sell it, so many people come in to eat, who dare to be lazy and deduct wages."
Seeing the sky outside, Wang Shunfeng was very happy. There were fewer competitors. If he could go down to the evening, his income for one day would be better than the usual two days in good weather.
Just when he was happy in his heart, the yamen from the two yamen came and knew each other. One of the yamen sat at a table and said to Wang Shunfeng, "Big Brother Wang, shouldn’t I take this time? It’s been ten days since the tax was paid."
"Hey, brother Fu is wrong. I have already signed a contract with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce. Today, even if I take money out of the country, I will send it to the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce is tax-free. For ten years, look at it. Let’s sign it. At the time of the contract, the relevant parts were copied down, and the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce also pressed their fingerprints, and they must not be faked."
Wang Shunfeng didn't want to pay at all. It could save half of the money, not a small amount.
"So you are fighting taxes and not paying? Then don't blame brothers. I can't. Catch." Ya Ya said, chained to Wang Shunfeng's neck, obviously able to hide, but Wang Shunfeng did not dare to hide. , To hide is to resist arrest.
"Why are you arresting me? I'm not wrong. I'm going to ask the magistrate to reason." Wang Shunfeng was taken to the Yamen by the Yamen.
At this time, there were already quite a few people arrested in the Yamen, and they dared not move around there, because they all knew Li Yu's identity and only wanted an explanation.
When everyone was almost there, Li Yu came to the front with a contract in his hand, and said to everyone: "Does anyone feel dissatisfied? Well, the officer will tell you, let the officer see clearly, and Party A is talking about it. When Party B cooperates, it is exempt from tax. When they signed the contract with you, they did not cooperate with the official in this regard.
You can pay as much as you should. No one can run away. If you pay taxes and pay the fine, you can go back. "
"My lord, you can say anything, so why are you talking about it?" a businessman rolled his eyes and said.
Li Yu turned the contract to the last page and read: "Party B shall have the final interpretation right of this contract."
