Chapter 1191 Sheep slaughter professional households
Dai Jinyun did not dare to look into Du He's eyes, and said with fear: "Teacher... I originally planned to tell you about this matter, but I was a little scared. I was afraid that the teacher would blame me... So after I returned to the county government, I asked him late.
I dare not speak for a long time, but please rest assured, teacher, I have never done anything to disgrace the county government, and I dare not disobey the teacher's teachings. Those merchants did promise many benefits and asked me to say a few good words for them in front of the teacher. However,
I didn't even agree, let alone accept anything from them... Teacher, this list contains businessmen who have asked me to meet. Their names, origins, promised benefits, and what they asked me to do are recorded in detail.
There are also many invitations sent by merchants, which are all in the public room of the tax bureau. I have pushed them all one by one, and I will immediately take them for the teacher to have a look at."
Dai Jinyun, who had never spoken much, was talking hurriedly like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
He was worried about Du Ha's opinion of him.
With that said, Dai Jinyun took out an account book and handed it to Du He.
Du He didn't even look at it and threw it into the pond nearby.
"Teacher..." Dai Jinyun's eyes widened.
Du He said with a smile: "I believe in your character as a teacher...but you are not doing this right!"
ah?
Dai Jinyun was a little dumbfounded.
Isn’t this right?
He hurriedly said: "Teacher, what do you mean, I can't meet those businessmen? Remember, student, from today on, I will not meet anyone again."
Du He shook his head.
Dai Jinyun was stunned.
After a long while, Du Hecai said: "Not only do you have to meet with them, but you also have to tell them what to do and teach them to avoid having all their property confiscated by the county government."
"Teacher...students are stupid and don't understand what the teacher means."
Du He patiently explained: "Before, our teacher said that we were going to kill pigs and slaughter sheep. Now, Fan Bingbing, the big fat pig, has been killed. Next, it's time to slaughter the sheep. The merchants who evaded taxes in Chang'an City
, they are sheep, we are professional sheep slaughterers..."
When Dai Jinyun heard this, he couldn't help but applaud Du He.
Fan Bing has a great military career and likes to seek death. He is just like a big fat pig.
Although other merchants evaded taxes, they were not as good as Fan Bingbing, so they were sheep.
What a vivid statement!
He couldn't help but said: "Teacher, are you going to attack the merchants?"
"Yes, but it's not interesting to deal with these merchants alone. I have already thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only kill the sheep, but also block the mouths of the guys in the court." Du He said.
Dai Jinyun asked: "Teacher, how do you stop their mouths?"
Du He smiled and said: "Of course you take out the most important things as a teacher and stuff them into their mouths. Right now, there are two things that you need to do carefully."
Dai Jinyun straightened up immediately.
Du He said: "The first thing is that you have to meet with those merchants today and agree to their request. As for the details, I will tell you later. The second thing, this piece of paper, please hurry up."
Give it to Mr. Dai immediately and let him disgust those who impeached me in the court tomorrow."
"is teacher!"
Du He explained the specific details clearly, and then Dai Jinyun hurriedly left the county government office and rushed to Dai's mansion.
…
Zuixian Tower.
It's after dusk.
Among the most luxurious rooms.
Sitting there were more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes, all of them showing off their wealth and wishing they could wear all their belongings on themselves to show off that they were the richest people in Chang'an City.
The leaders were four people.
They are:
Shopkeeper Zhao!
Shopkeeper Qian!
Shopkeeper Sun!
Shopkeeper Li!
Shopkeeper Li said with some anxiety: "Everyone, do you think Mr. Dai will come today? You know, I have sent him invitations five times before and promised countless benefits, but he has never shown up!"
Shopkeeper Zhao chuckled, stroking his beard, which was less than 10% of his height, and said: "Don't worry, everyone. I'm calling everyone here today. Mr. Dai has already given me a sure message, saying that he will definitely show up. Otherwise,
How dare I bother you all to make a trip."
Shopkeeper Qian said: "If Mr. Dai is really willing to point out a clear path for us, let alone do one thing, I will not complain even if he does it ten times. Now, the reporting system is like a knife standing above my head. In my family
There are so many servants and shops. With so many people, it’s hard to guarantee that anyone who wants money or life will go to the tax bureau to report me. I don’t want to see all my property confiscated and go to jail after working hard for most of my life...
…”
"Who says it's not..."
"We are really desperate now!"
One by one, they sighed.
At this moment, the door opened and Dai Jinyun walked in.
Swish swish swish.
One by one, the merchants stood up in a hurry and warmly asked Dai Jinyun to take a seat.
As soon as Dai Jinyun sat down, he saw the servants from Zuixian Tower pouring in and quickly filling a table with fine wine and delicacies.
It's almost enough for one meal.
Only then did shopkeeper Zhao speak: "Master Dai, I don't want to tell you secret words. Today we invite you to Zuixian Tower for one thing. Now Chang'an City has implemented a new tax policy, and the county magistrate has even come up with something."
I am not sure about the reporting system, so I would like to ask Mr. Dai to give me a few words of kindness to the county magistrate to resolve the matter."
Dai Jinyun said with a smile: "There is no need for you shopkeepers to beat around the bush. The reason you are looking for me is simply that you, like Fan Bingbing, who has been imprisoned, have evaded taxes. Now, the family teacher has implemented a reporting system. You can't sit still and are worried.
One day I was reported, but with your status, it is impossible to meet the master, so you found it, right?"
Although Du He is only a small county magistrate, he has a great background.
The boss of the Dream Group!
The consort who married two princesses!
The former Duke of Hu!
He was also the son of Du Ruhui, the right minister of the dynasty.
Such an identity is unique in the world and cannot be matched by any county magistrate.
Although these merchants are big businessmen in Chang'an City, it would be difficult for them to meet Du He.
After listening to Dai Jinyun's words, everyone nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Dai Jinyun sneered in his heart, but said: "Everyone, put your little thoughts away. If you really want to find a way out, I can give you some suggestions, but I have agreed in advance that you can't talk about this matter.
I taught you to do it, let alone mentioning my meeting with you."
Shopkeeper Zhao immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Dai, we are not ungrateful people."
Shopkeeper Qian said: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Dai."
Dai Jinyun pretended to be profound and said: "Everyone, let me ask you a question first. How much do you think you will lose after the implementation of this new tax policy?"
Before anyone could speak, Dai Jinyun said: "Actually, I have personally calculated that compared with the original tax policy, the taxes paid under this new tax policy are even less, but this is in name only... I won't hide it from you.
It is said that the previous tax policies, when implemented, had many names, various tricks, and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. In the end, they may not be able to collect so much tax. However, the new tax policy invented by the county magistrate is just the opposite. You can pay as much as you need.
No matter how much you pay, this is why many people are unwilling to do so."
