Zhao Qian, Sun Li and several other businessmen all said yes.
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Master Dai, please make it clear!"
Dai Jinyun muttered: "Since you are asking for this, I will reluctantly go through the trouble and point you to a clear path."
Everyone bowed their heads and listened.
Just listen to Dai Jinyun say: "There is no way... tomorrow morning, you should go to the county office as soon as possible to express your support for the new tax policy, and then take the initiative to admit your mistakes, take the initiative to make up for all the missed taxes, and even
All the expected taxes for this year have been paid, and at the end of the year, the county government will refund the excess and make up for the excess... In short, you have to take the initiative and let the teacher see your sincerity."
"ah?"
Everyone was a little shocked.
According to Dai Jinyun's method, not only must he make up for the missed taxes from last month, but he must also spend a large amount of money and deposit it in Wannian County Government first?
Everyone is a little reluctant.
Dai Jinyun sneered and said: "I have given you a method. Whether you adopt it or not is entirely up to you. However, I have something to say first. If your subordinates go to the tax bureau to report you, then all the property will be confiscated.
If you want to make up for your mistakes, you will have no chance."
Everyone suddenly understood.
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Master Dai is right. Isn't it just to take a sum of money and put it in the tax bureau? What's the big deal? I'm willing to do it."
Shopkeeper Qian nodded: "I am willing too!"
Shopkeeper Sun said: "As long as I can protect my Sun family's property, a mere tax is nothing."
Others also agreed.
Dai Jinyun stood up and said goodbye.
Shopkeeper Zhao whispered: "Thank you, Mr. Dai, for your advice. I have prepared a small gift, which is in the carriage outside. Please accept it, Mr. Dai."
Dai Jinyun smiled, nodded, turned and left.
When he came to Zuixian Tower to reveal his secret, he saw a carriage waiting for him for a long time.
Dai Jinyun got directly into the carriage. Inside the carriage, there was a box half as tall as a man.
He opened the box, which was filled with gold, silver, jewelry and other goodies, worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Dai Jinyun smiled and said: "The teacher is right, these businessmen are generous and willing to take action when their lives are at risk."
Without Du He's permission, he would definitely reject these things, but now, he can accept them with peace of mind.
…
Zuixian Tower, in the wing room.
A boy came in from the door.
Shopkeeper Zhao asked with concern: "How is it? Has Mr. Dai accepted it?"
The boy said: "Master, Mr. Dai has already accepted it."
"Great!" Shopkeeper Zhao said happily, "As long as Mr. Dai accepts the things, it means that he is sincerely helping us."
The big stone hanging in everyone's heart immediately fell to the ground.
…
The next day.
Morning.
Everything was as Du He expected.
As expected, many ministers stood up and impeached him for holding the award ceremony with great fanfare.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Du He! Yesterday, Du He held an award ceremony with great fanfare at the gate of Wannian County Yamen, and placed 50,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao in front of the people. This move actually stimulated the people.
, many people no longer want to work hard, but want to make a fortune by reporting tax evasion. If things go on like this, the people in Chang'an City will no longer want to work, the country will not be a country, and the people will not be a people!"
"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach Du He. During Du He's award ceremony, I placed my plaques in broad daylight without my consent. This is tantamount to telling the world that this award ceremony is...
It’s the imperial court’s tacit approval.”
"I still want to impeach Du He. Now, the merchants in Chang'an City are panicked. Many merchants have fled. The merchants no longer concentrate on business, but are frightened. If this continues, it won't be long before the merchants in Chang'an City
They will all escape. At that time, not only will they not be able to collect taxes, but they will also cause great inconvenience to the people of Chang'an City..."
…
One by one, the ministers took turns to criticize Du He for all his faults.
What everyone said made sense.
Hearing this, Li Er frowned and asked: "Will this award ceremony really cause the merchants in Chang'an City to flee and affect the business of the East and West Markets?"
Wang Gui was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I believe that what you are saying is not alarmist. This matter is very likely to happen... Since ancient times, there have been countless tax evaders. Businessmen value profits and only have the word profit in their eyes. Now
, but Du He came up with a reporting system. Businessmen have relatives and subordinates. These people will inevitably not be tempted by the high rewards for reporting. If businessmen really evade taxes, they will definitely be frightened and frightened, and then they will flee.
.More importantly, if things go on like this, the merchants will think that the imperial court does not trust them, and they will become resistant or even hostile to the imperial court, and the business in Chang'an City will probably be ruined as a result."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the top priority is to quickly repeal the new tax policy and issue an order to warn Du He, so as not to chill the hearts of the merchants and the people of Chang'an City."
Li Er fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and said slowly: "In that case, this new tax policy will..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ximen Qing, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hurried in.
"Your Majesty, this servant has something important to report!" Ximen Qing actually interrupted Li Er.
Li Er said displeasedly: "Say!"
Ximen Qing said: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the palace that early this morning, the big businessmen of Chang'an City went to the Wannian County Government in a group. There were hundreds of them..."
Wang Gui couldn't help but asked: "Are you going to make trouble? Your Majesty, I have long said that the new tax policy introduced by Du He will definitely cause public outrage. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The merchants can't bear it anymore and are going to attack the county.
Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Others agreed one after another.
Ximen Qing glanced at Wang Gui with a strange expression and shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, gentlemen, the merchants did not go to Wannian County Government to cause trouble, they went to support the new tax policy."
What?
All the ministers were confused.
Li Er was dumbfounded: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Ximen Qing recounted: "Hundreds of businessmen came to Wannian County Government and admitted that they had evaded taxes, and then admitted their mistakes, saying that they had realized their mistakes and were willing to change their ways. They all praised the new tax policy for being open and transparent.
Fairness and justice... In order to make up for their mistakes, the merchants took out a large sum of money as this year's tax, and handed it all over to the Wannian County Taxation Bureau. At the end of the year, the Wannian County Taxation Bureau will calculate it clearly and refund any excess.
repair……"
After Ximen Qing finished speaking, he realized that the entire court was completely silent.
Everyone's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Wang Gui wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
