Chapter 217 Closing business without paying taxes
After listening to the report on Lieshan Battle, Shennong felt his eyes turning black.
Just after he took office, he owed a debt of one billion copper coins!
What’s even more unscrupulous is that there are tens of billions of copper coins left for him to take care of!
What else could he do?
Salad!
He can't use Lieshan tribe's money to pay off Fuxi's debt, right?
If he really does this, he will definitely be kicked off the throne of the Human Emperor!
The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. Shennong wanted to make this matter public and tarnish Fuxi's name.
If he does that, he will have to bear Fuxi's debt!
But what should he do with the newly issued Emperor's Order?
Shennong finally understood that the Human Emperor was not that easy to do!
It is absolutely impossible to withdraw the Emperor’s Order!
Shennong had to find another way: "We don't care about fees. That's a matter for the office, but you have to pay taxes when doing business!"
Lie Shanzhan's eyes lit up: "That's right, you have to pay a fee to enter the door, and you have to pay taxes when doing business. It's called Chendu Construction Fee!"
As a result, as soon as this plan came out, the first person to oppose it was Bai Huangyu!
"Human Emperor, you are competing for profits with the people, causing prices to rise, and you will lose the hearts and minds of the people in Chendu!"
The biggest businessmen in Chendu are all tribal leaders like Bai Huangyu.
They are naturally opposed to the emperor’s tax collection!
Without saying a word, Shennong threw Fuxi's account book to him: "It's okay not to collect taxes. Please calculate the money owed to Fuxi. How much should each tribe share, and how much should be shared for future military expenses?"
Looking at the terrible figures on the account book, Bai Huangyu instinctively yelled: "Fake, this must be fake, he is making fake accounts!"
Bang bang bang...
Shennong clapped his hands: "Very good, I'm just going to check with Fuxi. Do you want to prove it's false in person?"
"ah……"
Bai Huangyu stared at Shennong in stunned silence and almost cursed.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, do I dare to accuse him face to face?
Even if he abdicates, he will still be the Great Luo Jinxian!
What's more, he also has a saint sister, who dares to accuse him of making false accounts to his face?
Bai Huangyu shook his head resolutely: "Fuxi and I are sworn brothers, how can we say that he is a fraud? God does not allow it!"
Shennong looked at him with a funny look on his face: "Either we collect taxes, or you bear them, we have to settle the military expenses, right?"
Bai Huangyu was completely speechless and finally understood that tax collection was the general trend.
Unless he is willing to share military expenses, Shennong will definitely collect this tax.
Today Shennong came to him to discuss this matter, not to listen to his opinion at all, but to ask him to do a good job in the ideological work of each tribe.
If everyone doesn't agree to collect taxes, then discuss sharing military expenses!
We all know without discussion that everyone can only choose to collect taxes.
Otherwise, who would be willing to pay such a large amount of money if he owed Fuxi tens of billions of loans?
In this way, the Emperor set out to collect taxes as his second goal in office!
Shennong played a trick and did not close the shops at the toll station first, but started with the shops of various tribes.
Bai Huangyu and others had no choice but to hold their noses and accept their bad luck, and paid the tax honestly.
If you don’t have an accurate figure for the first month, it doesn’t matter. You will pay tax based on half of the estimated turnover.
This time, Shennong thought of every possibility and made sure not to let Lu Xinghe exploit any loopholes!
Sure enough, Bai Xi was dumbfounded when faced with Lie Shanming who suddenly came to collect taxes.
How can she pay this money?
If you pay half of last month's turnover, you will have to pay millions of copper coins!
How dare she agree to such a large sum of money?
"You collected taxes without prior notice. The boss doesn't know about this. I have no right to make the decision!"
Bai Xi started to play the trick and wanted to go to Lu Xinghe to report the matter.
As a result, Lie Shanming unceremoniously revealed the Emperor's Order: "Shops that refuse to pay taxes will be closed immediately. They will reopen after paying taxes! Will you pay taxes or close your doors?"
Bai Xi gritted his teeth and chose to close down his business.
It would be strange if she surrendered and paid the money and was not beaten to death by her grandma when she went back.
Isn’t it just money? The most indispensable thing at toll stations is money!
On this day, all eight stores at the toll station were closed.
However, all toll stations at the eight city gates have reopened.
And there are one hundred newly appointed toll collectors at each city gate!
The people angrily accused: "Don't you see that the Emperor has ordered that it be free of charge?"
The toll collector rolled his eyes: "So what if the Emperor of China gives the order? We are toll collectors and we only listen to the boss!"
"As a human race, you don't obey the orders of the Human Emperor. Do you want to commit adultery?"
In the face of numerous accusations, the toll collectors dismissed it: "Human Emperor? Huh, we come from heaven, we don't care about the Human Emperor!"
The Chen Du human race was dumbfounded and finally understood Lu Xinghe's methods.
This bastard couldn't hire anyone in Chendu, so he actually brought people from heaven to help!
Look at these toll collectors, the worst are all of them with the cultivation level of Heavenly Immortal, and the one who takes the lead is actually the cultivation level of Golden Immortal.
In order to collect some tolls, would he spend such a large sum of money?
What they didn't know was that Lu Xinghe only showed his saintly cultivation and they were determined to join the toll booth.
As for the simpler reward, Lu Xinghe showed it once with the video of Nuwa's evolution, and they started crying and calling for free service.
In this way, the people of Chendu had to suppress their anger and pay the entry fee, otherwise they had to turn around and go home.
While Lu Xinghe and others were gloating and drinking to celebrate, Bai Xi hurried over to report the news of tax collection.
Lu Xinghe couldn't help but be happy: "Tsk, tsk, no wonder the Shennong clan became the Emperor of the Earth. They really used us as an excuse to levy commercial taxes!"
If Lu Xinghe hadn't attracted the firepower, those tribal leaders would never have agreed to pay the tax.
I have to say that those who can be human emperors are all human beings.
As soon as Shennong took office, he did what Fuxi wanted to do but couldn't!
The little fox waved his little paws in dissatisfaction: "No, no, no, if he dares to come hard, he will smash the Imperial Palace!"
I have to say that the little fox's suggestion was very popular. Jiu Feng was eager to try it: "I haven't smashed the Human Palace yet, how about we give it a try?"
Bi Xiao also geared up and looked at Lu Xinghe, wanting to smash it together.
Looking at the group of violent men, Lu Xinghe's head almost grew bigger: "That is the Human Emperor's Palace, where the destiny of the Human Emperor gathers. Don't you want to live?"
Bixiao hugged his arm unwillingly and shook him hard: "Isn't it because of you..."
Well, with great power comes great responsibility!
Lu Xinghe asked, dumbfounded: "We agreed to Hongchen Lianxin, what are you doing? Even if all business stops, what do we care about the money?"
Lu Xinghe is only interested in tolls and can get system rewards.
He has no interest at all in earning copper coins from selling goods.
If he wanted copper coins, he could just find a copper mine and dig it for a few days, which would be enough for the human race to use for a hundred and eighty years.
Bixiao hugged his neck and said coquettishly: "Face, what we want is face!"
No wonder Bixiao, in his previous life, was so impulsive that he killed the three sisters.
Alas, this girl is really stupid!
Chapter completed!
