Two days is neither long nor too long, not too short, but it is a torment for the merchants of Chang'an.

It seems that they are waiting for two days to see if something will happen, and of course, there are many businessmen who can't stand the pressure and secretly go to pay the city tax.

"It shouldn't be okay."

A restaurant shopkeeper who didn't pay the city tax couldn't help but comfort himself, but he didn't know why, and he had a feeling of eyelids jumping today.

"Step, step!"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded, and then a hurried voice came.

"Shopkeeper, the guards have come to arrest people."

"What, arrest someone?"

The shopkeeper of the restaurant couldn't help but be dark in front of him, and fainted directly.

On this day, Chang'an is destined to fly and the dog jumps, and after tasting the sweetness of the city tax, Li Shimin will naturally not let it go.

However, because of the first time, in order to let these people hand over the money, Li Shimin did not want to punish these businessmen, so Li Junxian asked these people to be invited to the official mansion in Chang'an.

Take out all these evidence of evasion of market tax, if you cooperate with the payment of taxes, then it is fine, if you do not cooperate, then Li Shimin is also not a soft-hearted person.

"Your Majesty has given you one more day to make up the listing tax."

"If you can't make up for it, then you know the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"If you have three longs and two shorts, then don't blame some of your subordinates for not knowing the severity."

.......

Looking at these businessmen, Li Junxian showed a smile that he thought was soft and said slowly, as if he was talking about something unrelated.

However, the businessmen present couldn't help but feel a chill behind them, and their eyes looking at Li Junxian were full of awe.

It is necessary to know that in this era, if you pay less taxes or do not pay taxes in time, you will be punished, and you will generally be punished with a rod.

Even if the rod scolds a few people to death, then it is not a matter, and these businessmen can be regarded as rich in life, just looking at the guards on both sides of the legs began to weaken.

The thought that they might die under the rod made these people's faces even paler.

"General Li, I just came back from the field two days ago, and I forgot to pay the tax, so I immediately asked my subordinates to bring the money over."

The businessman who had taken the lead in not paying taxes before spoke out with a flattering smile on his face at this time, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

originally thought that the court would not blame the public, but I didn't expect that it would really be serious, and at the same time, how could I be obsessed with it, and I would be greedy for money in this regard.

"Yes, I happened to be a little tired a few days ago, I don't know where I was uncomfortable, and I didn't pay attention to the notice."

"General Li, wait a minute, I'll go back in person, and I'll make up the city tax owed before as soon as I have a cup of tea."

.......

As the first one spoke, the next merchants found reasons to defend themselves, and if they didn't know, they thought they had really forgotten.

Even these businessmen didn't expect His Majesty to care so much about this matter, and they naturally heard about Li Junxian's identity as a businessman who was often in Chang'an.

It's just that what makes them smile bitterly is that they never thought that they would have some intersection with this General Li.

When these businessmen walked out of the yamen in Chang'an, their backs were already soaked with sweat, but they glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

So there was such a scene in the streets of Chang'an, and some businessmen who had been taken away by the guards before asked their subordinates to rush to the yamen with boxes.

And this news naturally can't be hidden, but there is a hint of schadenfreude on his face.

"Let these profiteers not pay the city tax."

"It is said that the yamen has evidence of tax evasion by these people, otherwise they would not admit it."

"I don't know my heart but I don't know my heart, I didn't expect these people to look dignified and do these things behind their backs."

.......

A voice of discussion sounded in Chang'an, and the words were full of resentment towards these merchants.

After all, the status of businessmen is low, but they have a lot of wealth in their hands, which naturally arouses the eyes of many people, and now they are naturally happy to see these people unlucky.

As for the industry of the family gate valve, there is also a trace of helplessness on the face of this supplementary payment of market tax.

Because Tang Law is so stipulated, coupled with the teachings he has had since childhood, the family values the door style very seriously.

There is also the issue of reputation, after all, this is a concern of many scholars, and if there is such a stain, it is also unacceptable.

Therefore, the properties of these families have completed the tax payment early, of course, there are some grievances in it, but there is really nothing to say about this.

There is also the fact that many people in the court and the family are inextricably linked, so I know that His Majesty is not joking this time.

But no matter what, the city tax of the family gate valve was still paid, and this is also the reason why Li Shimin is happy, because these family gate valves rarely bowed their heads once.

As for these businessmen, Li Shimin can be regarded as a salute before soldiers, and the effect is obviously good, under the slight threat of Li Junxian, these businessmen are honest.

In Shufu, when Shu An heard what happened in Chang'an today from Laifu's mouth, his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"The people of the world have matured a lot."

After a long time, Shu An slowly said in a voice, this time the means are used well, the current businessman does not need to be in the future, and there is no choice for the future to go abroad.

However, this era is destined to be nowhere to go, and with the loss first, it is destined to be regarded as resignation, and even the family has accepted it, not to mention these businessmen.

On the other side, Laifu lowered his head and didn't dare to reply, not everyone dared to call His Majesty's name directly, and there were some words that he could only be silent in his heart.

After a long time, seeing that there seemed to be no thought on his master's face, Laifu's voice sounded again.

"Master, Your Majesty has decided to open the curfew the night after tomorrow, and at the same time increase the city tax on shops that are open at night."

After the words fell, Shu An's face was with a hint of a smile, obviously Li Shimin had tasted the sweetness.

Although Shu An didn't know how much business tax he had paid, according to Laifu's description, there was still one or two hundred thousand in the entire Chang'an.

There is no need to think that Shu An also knows that Li Shimin should put this scope on the whole world next.

In this way, not only the refugees have landed this time, but Li Shimin also has some small ideas.

Everything did not escape Shu An's eyes, after all, what Li Shimin wanted to do the most, Shu An already knew.

"How's the restaurant going?"

After thinking of this, Shu An said slowly.

"The matchmaker has been busy decorating the restaurant these days, it should be almost."

Laifu had some doubts on his face, and he didn't know how his master would care about this matter, but he still reported it.

"The restaurant is scheduled to open the night after tomorrow, and I will send someone to distribute the invitation I wrote later."

Shu An's eyes flickered, as if he was calculating something, and then his voice sounded slowly.
