After Yuzhu drew a unified format of the tax return, he ordered Wendena to take it to Sun Chengyun, arranged for people to make plates quickly, and printed a thousand copies overnight.
This very simple tax return may seem like nothing, but in fact, it contains the secret of unifying weights, measures and quantitative relationships.
The numbers in traditional Chinese are indeed necessary when used on banknotes...because there can never be any mistakes.
However, in daily use, numbers in Chinese are extremely inconvenient. The biggest drawback is that they take up too much space.
For example, two pieces of silver would be written as one thousand two thousand three hundred four hundred and five liang in Chinese, which is more than three times longer.
So inconvenient!
In addition, today's large merchants basically use a large vehicle to pull various goods. It is not convenient for inspection, is not conducive to long-distance transportation, and also slows down the efficiency of entering the city.
As we all know, among maritime transportation, container transportation is actually the most intensive and cost-effective.
Therefore, Yuzhu planned to use the power he had at hand to force large merchants to classify the transported goods in advance for easy verification.
During the day, there were too many people, cars and horses entering and exiting the city at each gate of the Forty-Nine City. However, the city had to buy goods, and the city gate was blocked every day.
Therefore, Yuzhu had already discussed with the old emperor that bulk goods were prohibited from entering the city during the day, and only after the night ban could goods be delivered into the city.
Within an hour and a half, all goods outside the city must be transported into the city.
This is similar to the fact that in supermarkets, large-scale replenishment can only be done after closing at night.
After the names of various goods are unified, in order to avoid leaking confidentiality, only the quantity is listed on the tax return, and there is no need to indicate the price.
The purchase price and retail price must be submitted to Yuzhu separately. Otherwise, how to determine the amount of tax?
When Yuzhu finished what he was doing, it was almost noon, so he hurriedly finished his lunch and entered the palace in a sedan chair.
Playing chess with the old emperor every day is a top priority and cannot be delayed.
While playing chess, Kangxi picked up the tea cup with a smile. He was obviously going to win this game again.
However, Yuzhu abruptly interrupted the situation, and the situation on the board suddenly became chaotic again.
"You are a generous little bastard. You have too many tricks, don't you?" Kangxi frowned and scolded the jade pillar angrily.
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Old man, just watch the show."
Kangxi heard Yu Zhu's pun and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been waiting for a good show."
Well, Yuzhu was worried that Kangxi would not accept this sentence, so he came up with a bad idea.
"Old man, how about you change into casual clothes and join in the fun?"
Wei Zhu on the side, his heart is like a mirror, Yuzhu is here waiting for the Long Live Lord.
The older Kangxi got, the more he loved to have fun and the less he liked to deal with government affairs.
In fact, according to Longkodo, Kangxi often left the palace privately. The emperor was in Sijiu City, walking here and there, listening to a play and visiting a teahouse, feeling quite at ease.
"This is a very good idea, so I'll let you do it." Yuzhu happened to scratch Kangxi's itch, and he nodded immediately.
After Kangxi captured Aling'a, it did have a good effect of knocking down the mountain and shaking the tiger. The banquets and gatherings that had been held every day at Lao Ba's house were also cancelled.
This was all the result of Yuzhu's impeachment. How could the old emperor be in a bad mood?
The father is very kind, but the son is unfilial. This is the truest thought in Kangxi's heart.
Wei Zhu was waiting on the side, secretly admiring him.
The emperor's whereabouts have always been top secret and cannot be disclosed to his ministers.
However, Kangxi agreed to Yuzhu's invitation without hesitation. This shows that in the emperor's mind, Yuzhu was a very trustworthy member of his family.
In the first game of chess, Yuzhu lost very hard, but it was not easy for the old emperor to win.
"Well, someone has impeached you." The old emperor was in a very good mood, so he gently placed a memorial beside him in Yuzhu's hand, "Would you like to take a look?"
Yuzhu did not go to see the memorial. He shook his head and said, "What's there to see? I am doing errands for the imperial court. Who are these people doing errands for?"
Kangxi couldn't help but smile hoarsely, this boy was a very measured leper.
Yuzhu has always been a sensible person who is not confused about important matters. Any memorial that has not been approved by the emperor must not be touched by the officials.
Wei Zhu on the side nodded secretly, what Yu Zhu said was true.
Yuzhu took the blame for the Long Live Lord to collect taxes. Those people asked the censor to impeach Yu Zhu. Wasn't this deliberately causing trouble for the Long Live Lord?
Hey, what will happen to the guy who causes trouble for Long Live Lord?
"I heard that you didn't take the eight-carriage sedan chair?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu casually after he fell asleep.
Yuzhu nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, many important officials in the imperial court can only ride in small sedans with four carriages. My hair has not even grown yet, so I sit in a sedan with eight carriages. It's not appropriate."
"You are already married, who dares to say that your hair is not even long?" The old emperor was unhappy and scolded Yuzhu.
The emperor and Yuzhu were bickering. Wei Zhu lowered his head and did not dare to say a word or express his anger. However, he knew very well in his heart that Yuzhu had passed another test.
Wei Zhu had served Kangxi for many years, and of course he knew the old emperor's temper very well.
It is difficult for the old emperor to truly trust someone, and he will test him out casually. This habit can no longer be changed.
So far, Yuzhu has been coping very well. He never interrupts in big matters, but makes a fuss about small matters without saying anything serious.
However, the old emperor was tired of listening to the dull exchanges between emperors and ministers, but found Yuzhu's unique response to be unusually lively, interesting, and fresh.
"You invited me out of the palace, what are you going to treat me to?" the old emperor teased Yuzhu.
Yuzhu shook his head frequently and said with an unhappy face: "I dare not take care of your food, nor should I take care of it." His attitude was extremely clear and resolute.
After Wei Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but feel enlightened. He finally found out the reason why Long Live Lord loves Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu is so favored, apart from his family background and talent, more importantly, he always sticks to the true bottom line between the monarch and his ministers, and never crosses the threshold.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Is the emperor's diet something that his ministers can have no part in?
However, what Wei Zhu didn't expect was that the old emperor lost his temper and said angrily: "Then why did you invite me out of the palace? I'm hungry, why don't I need a meal?"
Yuzhu was also angry, and choked out: "I will definitely not mix with your royal food." He pushed back with audacity.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost." The old emperor's nose was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand and slap him several times. He actually scolded him three times in a row.
The jade pillar rolled away in despair, but Wei Zhu saw a smile on Long Live Lord's lips, which disappeared in a flash.
If you weren't close to someone, you wouldn't be able to tell. Not only was the emperor not angry, he was in a good mood.
After Yuzhu left the palace, he returned to the supervisory office for the first time in history. He still had several forms that needed to be drawn out in advance.
Once you master the city gates, you master the logistics. This is a huge advantage that goes without saying.
However, hidden in logistics, what is ten times more important than logistics is actually the flow of large amounts of money.
In this era when there was no widespread communication throughout the world, wealthy merchants had to rely on manpower to transport goods to Beijing whether they were purchasing goods or paying back money.
After the jade pillar blocked the city gate, the money flow of the wealthy merchants could no longer be hidden.
In layman's terms, as long as the dual flow of logistics and money flow is controlled, the difficulty for wealthy businessmen to evade taxes will increase exponentially.
Since business taxes are so low, to be honest, even though Li Si'er has been making money for more than ten years, he has also made millions of taels of silver. However, compared with the real wealthy businessmen, there is still a long way to go.
However, because businessmen have little status, the truly wealthy among the wealthy businessmen all follow the principle of not revealing their wealth and deliberately hide their wealth.
How to find a real wealthy businessman? Yuzhu is already a veteran and has many clever tricks.
Based on Yuzhu's experience, only so-called rich people who don't have a lot of money in their pockets like to show off how much money they have in front of others.
The real top rich people are afraid of being slaughtered as fat pigs. They don't even have time to hide their money. How can they dare to reveal their wealth?
As the saying goes, only those with half a bottle of water like to slosh around, while those with a full bottle of water like to pretend to be poor!
About an hour later, Yuzhu finished drawing the required forms, called Wendena, and ordered him to take them to Sun Chengyun.
After Wendner went out with the form, Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and took a pleasant sip.
Well, after all, Wendner is a member of the family. No matter how poor his family is, he still has some background.
If nothing else, the Biluochun brewed by Wendena is much better than the one made by Wujiang.
When dinner was approaching, Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun boarded their sedans to go to the fifth elder brother's dinner.
After Yuzhu became the supervisor of Chongwen Sect, the business secretly run by the fifth elder brother will definitely need Yuzhu's help to take care of it.
It was still a private room on the second floor of Zhimei Building, and the fifth elder brother still arrived early.
After Yuzhu entered the door, the fifth elder brother took his hand and asked him to sit next to him, while Sun Chengyun naturally sat down under Yuzhu.
The people present were all his own people, and the fifth elder brother didn't bother to bluff and beat around the bush, and said directly: "There are some shady transactions in my shop, and I need your help, brother."
The fifth elder brother treated Yuzhu with great sincerity, and was closer than he treated his own brother. Yuzhu immediately agreed with all his heart.
Seeing that Yuzhu didn't hesitate at all, he agreed directly. Lao Wu was naturally very satisfied, and then shouted that he would come to him today to get drunk.
After the banquet started and after a few drinks, Yuzhu asked Lao Wu with a smile: "Master Wu, how much cash do you have on hand that you can move around?"
No one else would have dared to ask this, and even if he did, he would be looking for trouble.
However, since it was Yuzhu who asked, Lao Wu told the truth.
"To tell you the truth, brother, I have been managing the vassal academy over the years and have also built up a small fortune. Let's put it this way, in addition to all the expenses for a year, I still have 300,000 taels of cash that I can use." Lao Wu
Suddenly he sighed and said, "Oh, the Lifanyuan is still too poor and cannot compare to your Amma."
"Fifth Master, to be honest with you, I plan to open a bank account, so you can give me 300,000 taels for the money. If we make a profit, we will share the dividends in proportion to the investment. If we lose, the 300,000 taels will be given to me.
, I’ll return it to you intact, okay?”
Lao Wulu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his face sank and he scolded Yuzhu.
"When we go into business together, we will definitely make profits and losses. We are willing to admit defeat. If we make a profit, we will share the money together. If we lose, I will always find a way to get the money. Who wants your dirty money?" Lao Wu
He widened his eyes and cursed, "I trust your character. From now on, you are not allowed to say such sentimental nonsense again, do you understand?"
