After all, Zangxian is the young master of the Immortal City. He has a long period of experience in city-state governance and is very good at controlling public opinion. In less than three days, people in the streets and alleys are talking about tax changes.
People from poor families rarely buy things on weekdays and are not interested in collecting commercial taxes. They are keen to discuss the abolition of the poll tax. In this way, they can save a lot of money and live a much better life.
People with a little wealth are dissatisfied. If taxes are added to many goods, won't they have to pay more to buy the same thing, and their living expenses will be much higher.
In fact, people are like this. Their own interests are the most important. They cannot see the benefits of the city-state's interests to them, and it is too late to explain.
So Zangxian directly used the method of moral kidnapping, and reached the bottom where disagreeing with the tax reform was selfish, of low character, and damaged Taoism. Businessmen all value their reputation, and public opinion has not dared to speak out at this point.
Zangxian's plan has initially yielded results, and now he is waiting for Tang Wenhua to take the initiative to find Tang Yue.
She had already written the first draft of the tax reform, so she asked for leave from Qionghua Pavilion and stayed in the mansion to discuss the details and improvements with Young Master Zang. At the same time, she was waiting for Tang Wenhua to come to her.
Before noon, the city lord came and said to Zangxian first, "I didn't know that the young master of Xiandu came to our house, and it was really not a good reception. Ah Yue, why didn't you tell me about this?"
Tang Yue looked innocent, "I wanted to inform you, but last time you said you didn't want to see me again within a month, so I was embarrassed to come to your place."
Tang Wenhua thought of what he had said, and they were all angry words. If she came to report that the young master of Xiandu was in the mansion, he would not miss her.
Tang Yue stared at this man without replying, thinking about what he meant.
As for Tang Yue's desire to be the young city lord, Tang Wenhua thought she was out of anger. He had indeed treated his little daughter poorly in the past. It was normal for her to have resentment towards him and to want a small revenge.
"Perhaps, if you look at the discussion situation in Kunwu City, those who resist paying business taxes are morally corrupt people. They are unwilling to pay any more for the city and are unkind for the sake of wealth. Under the pressure of public opinion, merchants may take the initiative to ask to open business
Tax."
Tang Yue took a sip of water, and the person actually paid attention to her head, "Father, don't tell me that I can only make a little money now, which is not enough to support the army. Even if I can have this money, I will never give it to her."
your."
Zangxian objected quietly in her heart. If she persisted, she would probably agree.
"Ah Yue can make money now. We will one day be able to earn enough to support a standing army. There is no need to add commercial taxes and make the families who came to Kunwu City to pioneer with us suffer."
The Qian family was well-known in Kunwu City, but in Tang Wenhua's eyes, they were just a nouveau riche, not as good as the aristocratic families he came into contact with. But he rarely thought that he was also a nouveau riche in the eyes of others.
Thinking of this, Tang Wenhua looked at Tang Yue with the eyes of "a child is still young and not very sensible", which made her suspect that this person was making up something in his head.
"You never said you wanted me to be the Young City Lord."
At that time, Kunwu City did not have spiritual stones to support a standing army, so it was beaten by the big demon and almost half of the people in the city were wiped out.
He took the initiative and said: "Xiandu will also reform its tax law recently. Senior Brother Zang has rich experience in this. With his help, Kunwu City's new tax law will definitely be more perfect."
The head of the Qian family is still addicted to business and has been cultivating the golden elixir for hundreds of years. If he can't find a way to extend his life, he will soon grow old and die. Let alone expanding the Qian family, such a family really has little hope.
The big demon will tear open gaps in space accidentally or intentionally and cause chaos in the human world. After tearing open the gaps, he will see spiritual beasts, forests, flowers, plants and trees, and he will give some spiritual power.
"But the poll tax accounts for half of the income of poor people. After taking away this half, they can't even afford cotton-padded clothes. They have to rely on winter clothes made in the city lord's mansion. Otherwise, they are likely to freeze to death in Kunwu City, causing a tragedy. Again.
In one month, it will be the snow season, and I hope my father will carefully consider canceling the poll tax."
It can be seen that Tang Yue is deliberately irritating people. Thinking of this, Tang Wenhua took a deep breath. There are outsiders now, so it is not appropriate to get angry, and the family scandal should not be made public.
When Tang Wenhua heard what she said, he frowned and said, "You kid, didn't I tell you that if I don't give you a seal, it will be useless for you to create a new tax law."
"Why, you have turned the public opinion in the city into this, aren't you just trying to force me to agree to the tax change? Now that I have agreed, are you afraid of bearing the consequences and don't dare anymore?"
He only wanted to build a standing army, and tried many times to persuade Shui Yingrou to bring out some spiritual stones, but she refused on the grounds that she could not maintain it, but he kept thinking about this matter in his heart.
"Nonsense, how can the head tax be fair in business tax? Everyone has to pay the same tax."
Zangxian said at this time: "With the prosperity and development of commerce in the city, city defense will become more and more important. I heard that Kunwu City still has not organized its own regular army. It is very dangerous to encounter a big demon."
The second daughter, whom he had always looked down on, turned out to be so powerful. The people he met were all young talents. He had to choose someone who could maximize his interests as his son-in-law.
"I never said I wouldn't let you be the Young City Lord."
Tang Yue was surprised, the sun came out from the west? Why did he suddenly agree? There must be a fraud in it.
If they arrive in a human city-state, they will go on a killing spree. Most cities have encountered such monsters, including Kunwu City.
Tang Wenhua was angry, "What did you say?" She behaved so unfilially when the young master of Xiandu was still here, it was really a joke.
Tang Wenhua asked Zangxian why he came to Kunwu City, and Zangxian said that he was here to participate in the flower appraisal meeting.
"I see that you have no intention of making me the young city lord. If I am not the young city lord of Kunwu City in the future, then my money will naturally be left to my family and my children, and my future husband will definitely not agree.
I subsidize my mother’s family.”
City Lord Tang held the cup tightly and controlled his emotions, "Okay, since you mentioned that you also want to change taxes for this reason, then I agree. You can come and use the City Lord's Seal tomorrow."
Although Tang Wenhua only encountered the great demon that tore apart space when he was young, he still felt frightened when he thought of the horror of the great demon's attack.
But the reason she chose was not good. How could she risk her entire city's future and destiny just to be angry with her father? She was still young and didn't know the importance.
The city lord didn't believe it. The Flower Appraisal Fair in Xiandu was a grand event in Liuzhou, and there were countless famous flowers selected from it. How could he fall in love with flowers run by a little-known family in Kunwu City?
He suddenly thought that Zangxian lived in Tang Yue's yard as soon as he entered the house, which meant that there was an old relationship between the two, and that Zangxian probably came here for Tang Yue.
"Of course not, I just suddenly felt that you, father, are really a reasonable person, and I was a little touched for a moment."
"Stop talking nonsense and remember to come tomorrow. I won't disturb you anymore and go back first."
Tang Yue sent him to the door of Ruoshuiju and said, "Best farewell to my father."
Tang Wenhua smiled sarcastically, turned around and left without saying anything more.
