Reduce and exempt 70% of commercial tax? This is really a big talk! Pingyuan County has now implemented a policy of reducing and exempting 30% of commercial tax, which is considered a great discount. The Fan family is not satisfied, and the one who is more capable of reducing 70% of the business tax is too much.
Moreover, Fan Min also exaggerated that Pingyuan County was in chaos before, but the situation has changed greatly now. Not only is the barbarian soldiers suppressed, the lost population is also rising rapidly. How can business in Pingyuan County be stable and profitable? Besides, merchants value interests. If they will definitely lose money, only fools will invest. The Fan family is doing business so big, so naturally they are not fools. Fan Min says this to be like a fool.
Well! Tang Yin suppressed his anger, and still had a smile on his face, saying, "Since the Fan family is willing to help our Pingyuan County restore prosperity, we should not be concerned about rewards! The reduction of 30% of the commercial tax is now to stimulate those ordinary vendors, and your Fan family has a great career. I think it's better not to have these so-called discounts!"
Fan Min never expected Tang Yin to give her such a reply. Not only did she not accept her conditions, she also had to collect the full tax on Fan Family. Her face changed slightly, and her smile became stiff. Youyou said, "Sir, aren't you kidding?"
"Of course not." Tang Yin slowly drank a sip of tea and said, "How can you joke about such a big thing?"
"In this way, is the lord bullying my Fan family?" Fan Min's face completely calmed down and she stared at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin smiled and said, "If your Fan family doesn't bully me, how can I bully you?"
Fan Min was stunned and asked, "When did we offend adults? I hope he will say it clearly!"
Tang Yin said, "It's now! Your Fan family has already opened a teahouse in Hengcheng, and there are endless tea customers every night. Now they come to me and complain to me that they will lose money. Do you think I am a fool? I can tell you clearly that your Fan family wants to open teahouses, restaurants and other shops in Pingyuan County, and I welcome them. But if you want to bully me with the wealth of the Fan family and force me to make any concessions, then I'm sorry, I will make your Fan family difficult to move in Pingyuan County!"
Fan Min was secretly surprised. How did Tang Yin know that he had opened a teahouse in Hengcheng and did not publicize it? Besides, how did he know that the teahouse business was good?
Seeing the shock on her face, Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said, "I know more than that. The dramas performed in your Fan family teahouse are also very lively! Of course, this is your means to attract tea customers and attract business. I will not restrict it. I said this just to make you understand. Don't treat me as a reckless man who doesn't know anything and can only lead troops to fight!"
Fan Min took a breath. Although she had only chatted with Tang Yin for a few words, she no longer dared to show contempt in her attitude. Tang Yin is much more difficult than she thought. She said quietly: "Since Lord Tang is a smart person, we should understand the relationship between our Fan family and the powerful and powerful people in Wang Ting. I think it will not be beneficial to Lord Tang's career!"
Tang Yin chuckled up and said proudly: "If I really care about these things and I am really afraid of your Fan family, I wouldn't have said those words just now, right?"
Fan Min looked at Tang Yin with a straight look, speechless. She had no choice but to ignore his softness and hardship. After reporting her family background, the other party was not affected at all. This was the first time Fan Min encountered such a person.
Seeing that her aura was suppressed by herself, Tang Yin felt a little more comfortable. Looking at Fan Min, who was sitting on the chair, he said slowly: "I still say the same thing. The Fan family came to Pingyuan County to do business. I absolutely welcome it. I can also consider it if I give appropriate tax cuts, but it is impossible to be as much as you said."
Hearing Tang Yin's voice softened, Fan Min was greatly inspired and asked: "Master Tang can at most reduce the commercial tax on my Fan family?"
"At most 40%!" Tang Yin answered simply.
Before Fan Min could speak, he continued: "Reducing 40% of the commercial tax is the limit I can give at the moment. Since I am willing to make such a big concession to help your Fan family, I hope your Fan family can also help me!"
Oh! When Fan Min heard this, he sneered in his heart. He was asking for benefits from himself when he said this!
I thought Tang Yin was so tough and so upright, and what an amazing person he was, but he turned out to be just a greedy person. She sneered and said bluntly: "Mr. Tang wants so many benefits, even if he says it directly, as long as it is something that my Fan family can accept, I will definitely satisfy Mr. Tang!"
Tang Yin knew that Fan Min misunderstood his meaning, but he didn't explain, stood up and said as he walked out, "Miss Fan Min, please come with me!"
Not knowing what he was selling in the gourd, Fan Min followed Tang Yin curiously and asked, "Where are you going to take me?"
"I will know when I'm here." Tang Yin responded without looking back.
Tang Yin took Fan Min directly to the silver treasury. There were a lot of things sealed from Wang Meng's house. He was worried about how to deal with these things. Fan Min came to him, so how could he not take advantage of this opportunity?
Seeing Tang Yin bringing him to the custody of the county garrison, Fan Min was even more confused and couldn't help him playing any tricks.
Entering the silver warehouse, Tang Yin opened one of the boxes piled up inside and said, "There are antiques, brocades, cloths and other things in my hands. They are useless in my hands. I want to sell them but can't find a suitable buyer. I think Miss Fan Min will help me and take all these things away. Your Fan family has so much business, so it should be easy to digest this thing."
Fan Min first looked at the many items in the box, then raised her head suspiciously, looked at Tang Yin and asked, "Is this the one I want me to help?"
Tang Yin smiled and asked back, "What if that?"
Fan Min's face was blushing. He thought Tang Yin was hinting that he would give some benefits. It turned out that the other person had no intention at all, but he judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain.
She took a deep breath and re-examined the items in the box. She was born in a big merchant, and her ability to identify products is naturally very comparable to that of people. Just looking at the items in the box, you can tell that they are of great value.
She asked, "Is that all in total?"
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "These boxes are all, a total of twenty-two boxes."
So many! The Fan family has many shops, and it is not difficult to sell these goods, but the twenty-two boxes of goods have to be settled one by one, which cannot be calculated in a short time. She thought for a moment and said, "Yes! I can accept all these items from Lord Tang, and I will find a special person to come and count them to receive the goods!"
"Okay!" Tang Yin was overjoyed and said, "Then all the shops in your Fan family in Pingyuan County can be exempted from 40% of the commercial tax!"
The exemption of 40% of the commercial tax was far from the goal that Fan Min had planned when he came. However, Tang Yin was too puzzled and too difficult to deal with. It was not easy to let him go and reduce 40% of the commercial tax.
Fan Min was mixed with joy and sorrow. After making an agreement with Tang Yin, she did not stay in the county garrison anymore. She made a few simple and polite words with Tang Yin, and then stood up and said goodbye.
After Fan Min left, the two Shangguan brothers who were with Tang Yin said in unison: "Sir, this Miss Fan is too arrogant, you should not give in to her."
Tang Yin shrugged, sighed softly, and said, "If I were alone and alone, I could do whatever I wanted. But now, we should put the overall situation first and have a good relationship with the Fan family. This will also be beneficial to us. It can not only speed up the recovery of Pingyuan County, but also digest the spoils we will get in the future."
"Oh!" Brother Shangguan seemed to understand, but he felt that Tang Yin would make a point of saying this. After all, Tang Yin is much smarter than the two of them.
Fan Min did not break his promise, and the next day, he sent someone to accept Tang Yin's twenty-two boxes of items the next day.
Tang Yin was not good at the liquidation of the goods and was not interested in it, so he entrusted Shangguan Yuanji with full authority.
It was similar to Shangguan Yuanji's previous estimate. All twenty-two boxes of items were liquidated, worth more than 100,000 taels of silver. At this time, the Fan family showed the nature of a wealthy merchant. More than 100,000 taels of silver were sent to the county ward after two days of spending, and all the items were taken away.
When Fan Min said that he would do it, Tang Yin would naturally not be unreputable. He continued to explain that he would exempt all the stores opened by the Fan family in Pingyuan County from 40% of the commercial tax. If the Fan family only did a small business, there would be little difference between the commercial tax and the commercial tax less than the commercial tax. However, the Fan family had many businesses and the scale was large. If the Fan family reduced the commercial tax by more than 10% of the commercial tax, the monthly income would also increase a lot.
In the next few days, Pingyuan County was peaceful, but the officials were in panic.
The hidden arrows were like hunting dogs. The whole county searched for corrupt officials. The scope was not only Hengcheng, but also secretly sneaked into other towns to check illegal officials. They also found a large number of corrupt officials who were bribed, which increased the county treasury a lot of income.
The act of hidden arrows caused everyone to be in danger of the officials in Pingyuan County, but it did have a powerful deterrent effect. The officials in the county no longer dared to easily receive private money, nor did they dare to do corrupt and abuse the law, which made the government's atmosphere a sound. In this way, the people who benefited the most directly were the people below, which also made Pingyuan County more attractive, thus accelerating the prosperity of Pingyuan County.
In recent days, Tang Yin has no facts. The government affairs include Shangguan Yuanji and military affairs include Qiu Zhen. The county magistrate has ended up being relaxed and at ease.
However, he has been particularly fond of visiting the Fan family’s teahouse recently, and his purpose is to see more dramas in the teahouse.
The drama of the Fan Family Teahouse is very popular and most directly reflects the voice of the people. Tang Yin can use it to understand what the people in the county want and what dissatisfactions are there, and then he will consult Shangguan Yuanji to discuss it and correct and improve it.
Fan Min is currently staying in a teahouse. She didn't know Tang Yin before, but now she knows it. Once, and twice, she still feels nothing, but it's strange to see it often. She even thought that Tang Yin was interested in her, but soon she overturned her thoughts, because every time Tang Yin came to the teahouse, she didn't visit her, and she didn't look for her. She just watched the show, and she was wearing casual clothes. The maximum number of followers around her was two or three, and she didn't show any signs of the mountains or water. She sat in the teahouse for a short time before leaving.
