Chapter 109: Husband and Wife's Night Talk (Part II)

"Isn't it the Han Yuan firm that has more than 11,300 taels of silver per share? We have the largest stake in Hanyuan! ”

"Do you know what the people in the mainland say about us in Nanzhong now?" Yan Mei'er flattened her mouth.

"How?" Shouhan is a little confused.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty, ten thousand taxes in Nanzhong!"

These words were said to Yan Mei'er by Wu Cunjie, the director of the tax department in charge of tax affairs, who came to the house with a sad face that day. The initiator of these words was one of his contemporaries. It is also a good thing for Wu Cunjie, I always feel that the rich and noble do not return to their hometown, just like a brocade night walk. Although I can't go home to show off, it's good to invite old friends to visit Nanzhong!

However, under his warm invitation, Shi Shiran came to this "land of barbarians outside the country, and the state of not respecting the king", ate and drank enough, and even took and stole it, and tossed Wu Cunjie very much, and when he left, he lukewarmly dropped the four-character comment of "Nanzhong Ten Thousand Taxes".

"Poor sour literati!" Hearing this, Shou Han Rao prides himself on being very well-cultivated on weekdays, and he can't help but slap the table suddenly, and under the force, the dishes, dishes and the like on the table clank into one place, and the second girl, who was sleeping peacefully in the arms of the nurse, was woken up by this sound, looked around with his little eyes open, and saw that there was no movement, so he closed his eyes and continued to sleep. was so frightened that the maids and women who were waiting on the side turned pale like dirt.

So, I comforted Wu Lao Wolf a few words, and by the way, let him see how much tax should be paid for these industries and income under the name of my general's mansion according to the tax rules, tax types, and tax rates promulgated by the general's mansion. This calculation, don't worry! The income of more than 10,000 silver per share, according to your uniform progressive tax rate, is suddenly gone 5,000! ”

Shouhan thought about it in his heart, no! Even if it is such a tax, there is still more than one million taels of income?

"Also, the flood control fee is levied at one thousandth of a capitation. Because I didn't go out to do things, our family only took your share. According to your income, the more than two million pieces of silver, one thousandth, and a few thousand taels are gone. ”

"Also, the scope of urban maintenance and construction tax is the same as your increase and value-added tax, except for farming in the countryside, as long as you are in the city and in the town, you must pay it! On that day, Wu Lao Wolf gave me an account, what tax payable = (VAT + consumption tax + business tax) * applicable tax rate. The tax rate is set at 7 percent for places like Ha Jing, 5 percent for counties and towns, and 1 percent for villages, but it is not charged at this stage. Where the location of all kinds of industrial and mining enterprises is not in the urban area, county seat, or organized town, the tax rate is 1 percent. In addition, the scope of the education surcharge is also the same as the value-added tax, the annual taxable sales amount of more than 250 taels of silver (inclusive), the tax rate is 3%, and the education surcharge payable = (the actual payment of value-added tax, consumption tax, business tax) ×3%. ”

Yan Mei'er has a good memory, and her speech is also very smooth, and in the blink of an eye, she clearly explained several major taxes of taxation.

"Do the math, and then more than half of the silver will be taxed! Seven percent plus three percent, plus forty-five percent, fifty percent of the income, all went into Wu Lao Wolf's tax department?! ”

Listening to this series of figures, Shouhan was indeed very painful in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out, "Then have you paid your taxes?" ”

"Of course! Not only did I pay it, but I also asked Wu Fatzi, a guy, to send the tax collection voucher issued to our family to the Han Yuan firm, and let them post it on the "Nanzhong Business Information", in addition, I asked Mo Yu to paste the tax voucher on the board, wrap it in bamboo paper, and hang it on the bulletin board outside the gate, I want them to take a look, don't say anything about the ten thousand taxes in Nanzhong, and the people in Nanzhong, from the general down, all have to pay taxes! Moreover, my family pays the most taxes! ”

"For this education fee surcharge, I am also angry!"

When Wu Lao Wolf left on the same day, he said a few words lukewarmly, "Under the banner of a saint, he did the thing of looting the people's fat and people's ointment, but instead of teaching the way of the saint to the people, popularizing and indoctrination in this wild land, but teaching some small Taoism, alas! But that's it! ”

"On the same day, my sister asked people to open the treasury, and ordered boxes of silver to be taken away, and the whole Ha Jing Mansion was a sensation, and countless people watched the excitement at the gate of the Yuan, and when the carts of silver were pulled out, all the people on the street were silent. Looking at the tax vouchers hanging at the gate, those who don't want to pay taxes don't dare to say anything. Her younger sister Shilin applauded Yan Mei'er's heroic feat at that time.

"Later, my sister allocated a large amount of money in the treasury and handed it over to the chief of those Zhuangzi in our family on the ground of the Chao Phraya River and the Jiulong River, the one named Chen Qinghua." Sister Mei Shan also came out to help Yan Mei'er.

Chen Qinghua has changed from a town mayor to the head of the Han-guarding village, I don't know if it is a blessing in disguise? Anyway, in the eyes of many people, this guy suddenly became a close minister of the lord. Those farms in charge of the Li family in the above-mentioned areas, oh, according to the current custom, are Zhuangzi. However, to reclaim wasteland and turn it into a usable farm, it is also necessary to throw a lot of money and grain down.

So, Yan Mei'er allocated the 300,000 silver retained in the treasury to the account of the Han Yuan firm, and the Han Yuan firm provided Chen Qinghua with the tools, food, clothes and other materials needed for the reclamation.

"In this way, there are only more than 10,000 taels of silver left in our family, so we can only invite you, the eldest young master, and two girls with the same flowers, to eat this cow with less than five dollars of silver. This meal is less than two taels of silver. Today, our family spends less than thirty taels a day. ”

Less than thirty taels?

In this era, a tael of silver can be exchanged for almost 2,000 copper coins, and a baked cake is only about a penny, and it costs 30 taels of silver a day. Seems to be very economical?! However, if you think about it carefully, there are dozens of servants in the mansion now, and there are all kinds of consumption, and the maintenance of this mansion alone is not a few.

"Mei'er, thank you for your hard work." Thinking about those trivial household chores, Shouhan can't help but have a little headache.

"It's hard work, you and I are husband and wife." Taking this opportunity, Yan Mei'er quietly clarified her status in front of Sister Mei Shan.

"But, young master, can you not spend money so lavishly?! Not to mention anything else, those land on the ground of the Chao Phraya River and the Kowloon River, just let the new reclamation people go, you can do it, throw out more than a million taels of silver at once, and buy a lot of wasteland, what to do? It's fun to watch?! That's the money that has been accumulated over the years! ”

The two have been married for a long time, and Yan Meier is a symptom of some postpartum depression, so she has to let out all the complaints in her abdomen.

"Now that the grain has to be purchased at a subsidized price in the government, do you still think there is not enough food? Do you still need to grow food? Also, I have heard that in several workshops of the ironworks and the gun station, you have allowed each of the craftsmen to wear a padded jacket and cotton pants every season? Still a month in a cotton armor? Why is that? Is your silver really moldy? ”

Yan Mei'er's words, like a big Buddha machine operated by a skilled gunner, bombarded Shouhan fiercely one after another.

Seeing Shouhan's uncertain face, the knowledgeable Meishan quietly waved her hand to signal the maids to withdraw, got up and changed a cup of hot tea for Shouhan and Yan Mei'er, and then, the two sisters sat on their chairs and looked at Shouhan with wink.

"Mei'er, there is never too much food. We have a lot of food here, and we don't necessarily have food anywhere else. There are more here today, and there may not be food tomorrow. Besides, I told Chen Qinghua that I didn't necessarily plant all rice, and the seeds I asked Gonzalez's group to find back then have also been cultivated a lot over the years, and those tear trees, cocoa trees, and cinchona trees can all be tried here. He pointed his finger at Sister Mei Shan, "Go back and write a letter to your family, so that Chen Qinghua can also rent some land in your family's fief to grow these things, and I will pay the rent!" ”

"The income from these lands will be the property of Erya's sisters and brothers in the future."

More than ten years later, when Chen Qinghua transferred the income of farms in Chao Phraya River, Jiulong River and other places to the treasury, the frightened faces of the three sisters Yan Meier and Mei Shan were discolored, oh, they were already at that time.

Hearing this, Yan Mei'er's face looked a little better, which mother was also willing to hear the words planned for the child, "Young Master," she used a word that she hadn't used for a long time, "Your majesty is generous, this is obvious to all in the Nanzhong Army, but everything must also have a degree!" ”

Yan Mei'er is not only referring to the distribution of cotton clothes and cotton armor to workers as so-called labor protection supplies, she also refers to other things.

"Listen to Mo Yu said, the steel-making, iron-casting, cannon and other places are as hot as a red carbon smelting furnace, if people don't wear thicker, they will sweat like pulp after a while, and they have to go to a slightly cooler place to drink water, so as to ensure that everything is fine, otherwise the body is weaker and dies of dehydration. You give them cotton clothes and cotton armor, save their lives, and serve you, I understand, why should you set up a rest room in the workshop? There's also a vat of sugar brine in it for them to drink as they please? In addition, what kind of high temperature subsidies should be issued? ”

Listening to Yan Mei'er's words, Shouhan was silent for a long time, and after a while, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Is this what Mo Yu told you?"

The pro-soldier on duty outside the door was in his throat when he boarded, and it was broken! Is it possible for the lord to enforce military discipline against Commander Mo?! From Shouhan Leng Sensen's words, even the soldiers outside the door felt a chill down their spines.

Since ancient times, it has been taboo for foreign ministers to communicate with their inner houses. If Mo Yu commits this big taboo, I don't know what the ending will be.

"It's not Mo Yu who said it, the day before yesterday, several shareholders' wives came to the house to pay a visit, and when they were drinking tea and chatting, they said it to their sister." Shilin told the source of the news and relieved Yan Mei'er. "When I drank tea that day, several shareholders' wives said that this practice cost too much to the craftsman and affected the profit."

He also said that now the streets are full of people, and the streets are full of newcomers who come to Hejing to find something to do, and they don't have to spend so much money on craftsmen. It's cotton clothes and sugar and salt water. Sister Mei Shan added.

Hearing this, Shouhan's face looked a little better, Mrs. diplomacy, and the transmission of news back and forth in the house are the most common things in officialdom, but this time the shareholders are unwilling to improve the treatment of workers and labor protection standards.

"What else?"

"And that's it, it's ,......" The two Mei Shan sisters looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything about the following.

"Xianggong, did you ask people to make the machine and other parts of the Xiu'er machine made of nine-turn steel?"

Thousands of miles to the dragon, the knot is here! Shouhan laughed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it was a moth eyebrow and jealousy, a wise saying through the ages!

Mr. Gu Long said that there may be women who don't eat, but there are absolutely no women who don't be jealous.

After the Xiu'er machine was finalized and put into production, especially after Jiang Chun, the comprador of the Ming Dynasty, had a relatively stable supply of cotton, the effect of the Xiu'er machine began to be brought into play, and a large number of cotton cloth was sent to the warehouse every day from the Xiu'er machine.

However, in the face of such a good shape, Shouhan was once again unexpected.

The machine and other parts of the Xiu'er machine were gradually replaced by parts made of ductile iron, replacing the original wooden parts. In this way, because the manufacturing of parts is more and more precise, the quality and quality of the cotton cloth produced have improved.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he described the effect and purpose that this technical means could achieve as if it were the original words of the sisters Yanmeier and Meishan. "Of course, there is a problem with this, so that if you change it, you can stop people without stopping the machine, and one machine can be used as three, so that our weavers are not enough, and we have to import a large amount of tung oil from Guangxi to oil these parts, otherwise, it will affect the life of the loom and the quality of the cloth."

He consciously changed the name of Xiu'er machine. There is only one purpose, to prevent adding another bucket of sour water to the vinegar jar of Yanmeier.

"Isn't that the same as soaking tomato branches and leaves in water?" Mei Shan blinked her beautiful eyes, one hand was pointing, and with the dance of the jade hand, the jingle of the gold chuan on her wrist was pleasant.

Remove the fresh branches and leaves of tomatoes, commonly known as tomatoes, add a small amount of water to mash, remove the slag and take its original solution, mix well with 3 parts of the original solution and 2 parts of water, and then add a small amount of soaphorn water to spray to kill red spiders, and the insecticidal effect is 100%. It is also a broad-spectrum insecticide that is effective for many pests, which is loaded into the pump to kill all kinds of pests in rice fields and fruit forests. The same original pesticides, as well as pumpkin, pepper, and peanut, are available in a wide variety of varieties, depending on the variety of crops grown by farmers everywhere. Some people have calculated that such a primitive green pesticide can increase the yield per mu by less than 10%.

"Oh, but it is!"

My husband was originally just for business, to improve production and quality. But it's my own heart. Yan Mei'er felt a lot better, but how to get down this step?

"Mei'er," Shouhan appropriately set up a step for her, "you have just given birth to Erya, don't work too hard, don't be too careful in everything, lest you hurt your body by fire." "The vinegar of the salt plum is cleverly turned into the result of too much work after giving birth.

"You two, it's been a few days since you entered the house, and there are some things that you should share some work for your wife." Shouhan pointed to Sister Mishan.

"Xianggong, if you don't say that I have to forget, I just want to ask Sister Meishan to help me manage these people in the inner house, dozens of people up and down, maids and mothers-in-law, I will bother Sister Lao Meishan in the future."

"The big and small objects in this house, out of the warehouse and in the warehouse, and the daily use expenses, will have to bother Sister Shilin."

Later, from the perspective of palace fighting dramas and conspiracy theories, those who did good things analyzed Yan Meier's decentralization behavior and believed, "Her purpose in this move is threefold: first, to find a helper for herself, because her body at that time was really not suitable for complicated housework, and second, to find allies, because Li Xiuxiu's wedding date is coming soon, and third, to show her demeanor and strength in front of Li Shouhan." ”
