Regarding the concept of tax collection of funds, Mao Wenlong said with a sly smile: "Let me tell you, we still use one tael of silver per person to buy grain. When the grain merchant sells one tael of silver, we collect

He pays four cents, and the profit is two cents deducted from the two cents of silver. If the eight cents of silver are used to purchase goods, we will charge another four cents. If the six cents of silver are used to buy clothes, then we will charge another four cents, and the five cents of silver will be used to buy cloth.

, we charge him another four cents, and - so, I tell you, as long as we block the phenomenon of tax evasion layer by layer, we will eventually get back four cents of silver, and these four cents of silver will be put into the market again, and after a period of time, we will get back four cents of silver.

After several operations, we will recover another one tael of silver. After so many operations, in fact, every time we release one tael of silver, which seems to be a small amount of tax revenue, we will eventually recover six taels of silver, and the people have not complained yet (this calculation method

You can go seek verification from commercial accountants and don’t criticize Uncle Ben)”

Mao Wenlong said nonchalantly, and Zhu Quan counted it carefully with his fingers. Although he didn't understand the reason in the end, it did calculate such a result, and he really admired Mao Wenlong.

So Mao Wenlong ordered to immediately register all the people who died and were injured in the riot, issue them vouchers, and first give them a pension of two taels of silver each, and then every month, they can use this voucher to go to Lushun

The government will receive two taels of silver until the amount is met.

In this way, the market not only came alive immediately, but also continued to distribute money. It also allowed Mao Wenlong to re-establish the credibility of the Ming government, which had completely collapsed, at least in Dongjiang Town.

The people are full of confidence in the government. With confidence, they are full of energy. The city is recovering rapidly, the people's mentality has begun to stabilize, and everything has begun to develop for the better.

The opening of Rang Yongtao's grain store immediately caused a sensation throughout Lushun. His opening not only showed that this dilapidated city had come back to life, but most importantly, the fair price allowed the citizens to see the order followed by the Fu Liao Army.

The leading role was huge. Just after Rang Yongtao's grain store opened, the grain merchant surnamed Zhang returned to the city and found General Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming was full of disgust for this person. Zhu Ming was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to him. As a result, the grain merchant named Zhang followed Zhu Ming with a shy face and said repeatedly: "

They are all neighbors. At first, I was young and ignorant and did not see that our Ming Dynasty could win, so I did that stupid thing." Then he handed over the house deed of Zhu Ming's house in his arms: "This is the general's house deed.

The property is now returned to its original owner."

Zhu Ming walked and said: "I exchanged the house for your food, and we paid for the money and the goods. Now you give me the house deed, but I don't have the food to pay you back, so the house is still yours. This is called fairness."

.”

The grain merchant surnamed Zhang immediately became generous: "What did the general say? At that time, I took out one thousand shi of grain, which was only worth two or three thousand taels of silver. Your house is worth ten thousand taels. Where can I go?"

Because of that black heart, I remember we agreed at the time that if you used this house as a mortgage and it was restored after the war, you would pay me back at the normal price."

Zhu Ming asked deliberately vaguely: "Did we say that at the time?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely yes."

"In this case--"

Mao Wenlong then said: "In this case, the general will take back the deed of the house. As for the thousand shi of food, you gave it to the rioting people to eat and drink. It is considered a public expense, and now it comes out of our public treasury." Then he said to him.

Looking at this guy, he said: "Do you want money now, or do you want food?"

The grain merchant surnamed Zhang immediately nodded and bowed to Mao Wenlong: "Of course I want grain. I am a grain merchant. I want to start a business. How can I do it without goods?" Then he said to Mao Wenlong in a positive tone: "To be honest with Mao Shuai, I asked for it at the beginning.

General Zhu Ming threw my family out of the city. In fact, it was not a refuge. I went to collect food for the people in the city. No, with my hard work, ten ships of food have arrived at Lushun Pier. Don’t believe me.

Go and have a look.”

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong had to admire the shrewdness and speed of this grain merchant. As for whether he really transported so much grain to make a fortune after the war, or to insist on making a fortune for Ming Dynasty, there is no need.

Only by being more serious and tolerant can we do things better.

"But we have to make it clear." Mao Wenlong solemnly said to the grain merchant named Zhang: "Grain must not be mixed with fake grains, and the price must not be higher than two taels."

The grain merchant surnamed Zhang immediately raised his neck and prepared to argue. As a result, Mao Wenlong immediately grasped the handle of the knife and said with murderous eyes: "This is a rule. If anyone dares to break my rules, my knife will be Wang Fa.

In this time of war, I can still kill hundreds or thousands of his people."

The grain merchant surnamed Zhang immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck. He looked at Mao Wenlong's firm, sinister eyes, and finally accepted the rules: "Young man also wants to be a good citizen and a righteous businessman, so let's do this

Bar."

The first rich man in the city quietly dug out the money buried in the ground and took him to the grain store. After buying the first bag of grain, he let out a long breath and the suffering was finally over.

Everything will start again.

Zhao Gang did not report his military exploits for killing a high-ranking slave-building official. He had no idea that his killing of Niu Luerzhen played a huge role in the battle to recapture the city. However, he was an honest man. He believed that he had not killed the slave-building official.

The head count is equivalent to saying that there is no basis for it, so just live your life honestly and be an obedient citizen.

After the city was liberated, the first step was to recruit workers. His family immediately signed up. Since he was strong, of course he had to do the work of cleaning up the ruins that required strength. He could earn ten kilograms of food a day. The younger brother was single.

He was thin, but the government also arranged for him to carry bricks, so that he could earn five kilograms of grain.

I was not idle either. I was hired to clean up the debris in the ruins, and I also earned five kilograms of grain.

The officers and soldiers are not like the former officers and soldiers who squeezed you like tigers and wolves. Instead, they do more and less according to your ability. No one really supervises you, but the people are simple. If you treat them well, they will

I would like to express my gratitude to you, and everyone will try their best to do more. If this city is restored as soon as possible, everyone will have a home as soon as possible.

When work was finished in the evening, the officials did not break their promise. They actually distributed sufficient grain according to the regulations. Carrying the twenty kilograms of grain that the family earned today, they returned to their humble shack. The younger brother gathered firewood and the old woman put up the tiles.

The jars and the red fire in the hall are reflected in the three weathered faces, and a long-lost satisfied smile appears on those faces. Today, I can have a long-lost full meal.

The stoves are lit in one house after another, and the small days are restored one after another. When everyone meets, they no longer leave with a long and miserable sigh, but ask loudly: "Have you eaten?"

The answer was also full of confidence: "Eat it."
