Even if the business is so big, why should it be important to collect a little tax?

"This one, it's different!" Jin Ying said with an aggrieved face.

"What's the difference." Yang Chendong didn't look at Jin Ying's aggrieved appearance in his eyes at all, but asked fiercely: "Is it because this guild makes money, so it wants to collect my taxes?" Is it because I have made great contributions to the preservation of Jingshi, so I have to collect my taxes? If that's the case, I guess I can't say it anyway, right? Then I have to ask the people of the world, where is the axiom? ”

A sentence of Yang Bao, where is an axiom? Jin Ying, who listened to it, trembled all over her body, and her face was ugly. At this moment, he thought that people still had a powerful tool of public opinion in their hands. Usually the emperor's will is summoned to the world, and it also takes time for the people to know. But Yang Bao is different, but wherever it appears, the things recorded in it will soon become widely known. He even heard that in some places, when the local government has any regulations, it will also spread the news through the hands of the local Yang Bao, so it can be seen how influential it is.

At this moment, Jin Ying angrily scolded Wang Zhen in his heart for being a pig's head. How could Yang Bao be legitimized in the first place? Now the drawbacks appear.

It's a pity that Wang Zhen is already a dead man, and it is useless to scold him now. It's better to think about how to solve the matter in front of you, anyway, you must not let Yang Chendong tell him about the grievances and injustices he has suffered, otherwise it will be a major blow to the image of Daizong. "Loyalty? So what should you do in your opinion? ”

"This prince doesn't ask for anything else, you can do it yourself, even 20 to 10 to 10 is also recognized, after all, it is for the country. But there is one thing, which must be fair, and that is that the business of the public of the country must be taxed, and the same is true for other merchants and magnates. If not, don't blame your own public for turning his face and denying it. Yang Chendong kept saying that he could pay a great price for the sake of the country, but the last request stumped Jin Ying.

Yang Chendong is asking for fairness, and it is said that this is not wrong. But if things really do, then I don't know how many powerful people will be offended. In the past, when Yingzong was there, he only said that he would collect business taxes, but he never implemented it. What's the matter, now that you are on the throne of Daizong, and you have just won the battle to defend the capital division, you are going to take the powerful and businessmen to open the knife, even if you unload the mill and kill the donkey, is this method too fast?

Thinking that if he really received thirty to one, he was afraid that he would soon lose popularity, and he didn't know how many people would go to Nanjing to join Yingzong, this result was definitely something he didn't want to see.

But if you don't collect taxes, you can't do it, originally a country was divided into two, and taxes were naturally reduced by half, if you don't think of a way from other places, once something critical happens, and whether there is money to deal with emergencies, you have to say twice.

The tax must be collected, so the only way to do it is to find a way to do it in proportion. Originally, I thought that I could use this to suppress Yang Chendong, but who knew that now I was lifting a stone and hitting myself in the foot, Jin Ying had to reply with an ugly face, "Okay, according to the meaning of loyalty, everyone who does business must pay taxes, whether it is a businessman or a powerful person, as for the tax standard, it is better to pay it according to one hundred to one." ”

100 to 1, that's a very low fee. This is also the restart of commercial taxes, which requires a buffer process. But in fact, such a tax standard is not very low for businessmen. Merchants are profit-oriented, and this kind of plucking hair from them must have aroused the opposition of many people.

It's just that at this moment, Jin Ying can't think about it so much. He only knew that if he didn't reach an agreement with Yang Chendong now, he was afraid that it would be more difficult to reintroduce the tax collection in the future.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, everything is done according to Grandpa Jin's wishes. As long as other merchants pay the same taxes, my husband has no opinion. Yang Chendong regained his smiling appearance, giving people the feeling of how generous he was. But Jin Ying knew very well in her heart that this was simply a show, because after the matter became related to businessmen all over the world, it was impossible to raise taxes.

Jin Ying finally left, and her face was a little embarrassed when she left.

Although Yang Chendong is only less than twenty years old, he can give Jin Ying the feeling that he is a little fox no matter how he looks at it, as if this person can read books, he already knows what he wants to say in his heart, and he has already prepared countless countermeasures. He was really worried that if he continued to stay here, he would accidentally fall into the other party's way, and what price he would have to pay.

Fortunately, the trip to Yangjiazhuang was not for nothing. Let's not talk about the agreement reached with Yang Chendong, just say that when he was out of the village, Jin Ying saw Leng Song, the leader of the mercenary corps waiting on the side of the road.

As soon as he saw Leng Song standing on the side of the road in camouflage uniform, Jin Ying hurriedly asked the soft sedan to stop, and then greeted him with a happy face, "Oh, it turned out to be Captain Leng, I didn't know you were waiting here, so I kept you waiting for a long time." ”

"It doesn't matter." He said with a cold expression: "The head of this regiment is waiting for Gonggong Jin here, and he is here to fulfill his promise with you." Now that the battle is over, I don't know when the million tons of copper and iron promised by the Ming Emperor will be in place? The advanced firearms you want have already been prepared. ”

As soon as he heard that the advanced firearms had been prepared, Jin Ying's face was overjoyed, "It's easy to say, it's good to say, millions of tons of copper and iron have been prepared for a long time, but I don't know how to transport it out?" ”

"This is simple, you can use the Yang family's commercial transportation system to transport out, this is something that the head of this regiment has already told Zhongdang Gong." Leng Song said preparedly.

Hearing that there had been an arrangement for a long time, Jin Ying nodded and agreed, "Okay, then my father-in-law will hand over the things to the hands of the loyal father." That's right, but I don't know when we can get our hands on the advanced firearms that Commander Leng said? ”

Knowing that this is the relationship between Jin and Ying, Leng Song said without hesitation: "When the copper and iron are shipped out of Jingshi, it is time to deliver advanced firearms. By the way, there is one thing that still needs to say hello to Gonggong Jin, this time we repelled the army of Warat, but we have also communicated with it, we will do business with Warat, and we have handed over the matter to the loyal Gonggong to do, which will trouble Gonggong Jin to take care of it. Of course, the matter is done, and if Father-in-law Jin has any personal requests in the future, the head of this regiment will speak for others in front of our leader. ”

Leng Song said this expressionlessly, but it was a little harsh in Jin Ying's ears. "Commander Leng, you are only for your father-in-law, Warat and our Ming Dynasty just had a fierce war, and it seems that it is impossible to trade with them now, right?"

"Of course I can't say it, that's why our mercenaries trade with Warat, and it has nothing to do with your Ming. It's just borrowing your way, what? Is there anything wrong with Grandpa Kim? At the end, Leng Song's face had become very serious, as if he was very angry.

"No, no, of course my father-in-law won't have any problems here. It's just that the trouble is big, and this kind of thing still has to be reported to the emperor to know, and the emperor will decide. "Jin Yingcai will not be stupid to offend mercenaries, so he moved out of the name of Daizong.

"It doesn't matter, the head of this regiment will take his brothers to hover here in Jingshi for a few days, just so you can listen to what your Ming Emperor means. But if when we leave, the Ming Emperor has not yet given a satisfactory answer, then I'm sorry, the head of this regiment can't make a difference, so he doesn't dare to guarantee that when others ask us to deal with the Ming Dynasty, will we take this task. How could Leng Song not see that this was Jin Ying's procrastination technique, even so, he took the initiative to propose a deadline.

In this sentence, Jin Ying heard other meanings. "Commander Leng, do you mean that the mercenaries will not attack our Daming?"

"It's not that we won't make a move, but the Ming Emperor agreed to our conditions, and we will naturally take care of our partners. Unless someone pays several times as much money to deal with you, we won't take on the task. Leng Song nodded and shook his head. In short, the benefits are thrown out, but the words are not completely dead.

"Okay, good, if that's the case, I think Emperor Ming should be able to agree." Kim Ying heard something else from this. He had heard of the high cost of mercenaries for a long time, and if it was several times the cost, there must not be a few people who could afford it. With this condition, there must be no difficulty in convincing Zhu Qiyu.

"You Emperor Ming should have agreed. Once Warat does business with us, then their focus may shift, and I am afraid that they will not have any thoughts about Daming at that time. Leng Song nodded, as if to mention something.

"Yes, yes." Jin Ying nodded, then looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he cautiously approached Leng Song and asked, "Commander Leng, even if Warat can cooperate with your army, then I don't know if we can cooperate with each other?" ”

"Huh?" Leng Song looked at Jin Ying alertly, "Gonggong Jin, the head of this regiment has said, the relationship between the loyal and courageous prince and our leader is very good, you still don't fight such an idea, even if this is the case, it is better not to say it in the future, otherwise, if it causes any trouble, even the head of the regiment can't afford it." Okay, let's take my leave. ”

Leng Song left, leaving Jin Ying standing there alone, his face changing again and again. He had thought before that Yang Chendong's relationship with the mercenary leader should be quite good. Judging from the temptation just now, it seems that it is far better than he imagined, so it seems that it is better for this loyal and courageous man not to offend as much as possible in the future.
