Say that finish after two people straight wait for a while walked to the gate of the compound.
But just when two people just stepped out of the compound, they just agreed to go out and guard the company commander to stop them directly.
Zhang Yan and Lean stared at each other with puzzled eyes and said directly, "Are you going to go out in this crown, two young ladies … At the end, you will be sure to say that you will not only have no freedom in this crown, but also be surrounded by ordinary people-… because the crown of the two young ladies is so gorgeous that you can’t find the same clothes in the whole Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …"
The two of them showed a little epiphany and consciously asked, "If we don’t wear these clothes, what should we wear?"
The company commander of the guard indicated that several bodies looked very ordinary on the surface, but there were all kinds of precious fabrics, and the ready-made clothes were sent directly to the two men.
Then he said to the two men, "Two young ladies, this is the clothes specially prepared for you by the guard … The guard said that only by wearing this kind of clothes can you walk freely in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces … The guards who are responsible for protecting you will also wear ordinary clothes to follow …"
Chapter five hundred and twelve Sit on a pedestal
Glancing at the clothes handed over by the guards in front of her, Princess Le ‘an said with a pout: "I didn’t expect this Wei Zheng to look like a warrior, so I was really surprised that even these small things were taken into account."
After seeing the changes in Le ‘an’s face, Zhang Yan also gave a sigh of emotion because almost no one has thought about things for himself since he became the queen of Yi ‘an. Wei Zheng is obviously the first one …
Touched by Yu Zhangyan, I didn’t forget to tease Le ‘an around me: "Now it seems that Le ‘an has been tempted by his future husband …"
Princess Le ‘an blushed and quickly denied: "No … I’m just talking … Don’t you forget that we are going out today? Today I must expose the true face of Wei Zheng and see if this Wei Zheng is as good as it is said …"
Soon two people were wearing very ordinary clothes.
On the surface, it seems that two people are rich ladies, but if you look carefully, you will find that ordinary clothes can’t cover up the two people’s stunning beauty …
Dozens of plainclothes guards protected two people and soon walked out of the Governor’s Mansion and entered the streets of Datong Mansion.
At first glance, the width of the street is only two battles. Except for the small business vendors lined up on both sides, the middle of the street was crowded with dense people.
It turns out that in more than ten days, it will be the biggest Spring Festival of China people in a year, plus this year’s bumper harvest. Almost every granary in Datong Prefecture is full of food, and of course, there is more or less some spare money in hand …
With the silver in hand, it is of course necessary to buy some things for your humble family and buy some new year’s goods to have the most abundant and lively New Year in your life.
Of course, this is only one aspect of the bustle of big cities.
With the business tax reform of the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, it seems that everyone has to pay a high business tax, otherwise, although the one-time business tax is high, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled.
In this way, traders are suspected to be the ultimate beneficiaries. Of course, after the one-time business tax is high, the business tax revenue of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is also higher year by year …
The total tax is low, and vendors from all over the country are more willing to do business here …
Under such circumstances, Datong Prefecture has become more and more prosperous …
Looking at the bustling streets in front of me … I used to play Princess Le ‘an in Beijing City Street, just like a bird who broke away from the cage and said with a full face of excitement: "Huang Sao … This Datong House is really too busy to compare with Beijing … It’s beyond my expectation …"
People have proved that there are dialects in places governed by Wei Zheng. I don’t know why Zhang Yan’s face flashed a heartfelt expression of relief.
A little smile mingled with flush also followed to the face of Queen Zhang Yan.
Lean stared and nodded affirmatively: "I’ve also seen the streets of Beijing, and the prosperity here really exceeds that of Beijing … I really don’t know how this Wei Zheng did all this …"
At this moment, a group of people not far away suddenly appeared Zhang Yan’s vision.
What attracts Zhang Yan’s attention is not how special this group of people is, but that they are wearing the same government and pushing one or two wheelbarrows in the car. There is a large wooden box that has been painted red with a big tax on it …
Although Queen Yi ‘an lived in the harem for a long time, she still knew all kinds of laws and regulations of the Great Dynasty clearly, and it was only at a glance that Queen Yi ‘an judged that these people were coming to collect business tax collectors.
And a very simple way to judge whether a place is clean is to see whether the local tax revenue is very clean or whether it has caused widespread indignation and discontent among the people …
So in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yan became interested in this tax collector, intending to further verify whether the big city in front of him is really as prosperous as he saw …
After a brief explanation of Princess Le ‘an, the two men directly followed the tax collectors with a sly smile to see how these tax collectors taxed …
Soon the wheelbarrow stopped in front of a vegetable stall.
To Zhang Yan’s surprise, the vegetable vendor who came to collect taxes did not show his imagined dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
Instead, he said with a smile, "Why did the brothers come here so early today … I have prepared the tax money today, and there are 20 pence in total …"
Say that finish will have already prepared copper to the hands of tax officials in front.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the copper coins in his hand, the tax official put twenty copper coins into the wheelbarrow behind him without thinking.
After finishing this movement, several tax collectors directly pushed the wheelbarrow to a booth …
Seeing this, Zhang Yan went directly to the vegetable stall and asked with a puzzled face: "This old man, I just saw you once * * and paid 20 pence in tax. According to the big business tax, you can earn 600 pence just by buying food one day, not 17 taels of silver a month …"
Zhang Yan stared at the vegetable vendor and shook his head without thinking.
"This girl wouldn’t come here to sell vegetables every morning if I could really earn so much money in one day … Not surprisingly, you must be a mainlander who doesn’t know the rules of our Datong government, right?"
What did Zhang Yan seem to think when I heard this? When my eyes lit up, I asked, "What’s the rule … is the business tax in Datong different from that in other places …"
Without thinking, the vegetable vendor affirmed, "You’re right about this girl … The rules here are really different from those in other places … In other places, it’s thirty taxes and one tax, but here it’s ten taxes and one tax … I can earn more than two hundred pence at most when I sell vegetables a day … It’s no problem to keep a family hungry for five or six taels a month …"
"Ten taxes and one …" Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Yan’s face directly showed a heartfelt shocked expression and then she uttered an exclamation …
After exclaiming, he directly asked the front vegetable vendor: "Old man, isn’t this almost three times more than the business tax stipulated by the court … are you willing to pay such a high business tax …"
When I heard this, the old man’s face showed a wry smile before he answered, "This girl knows at a glance that you are a rich official and a gentleman, and she doesn’t know anything about the government …"
"On the surface, we have suffered by paying three times the tax to the government … otherwise, although we were thirty taxes before, why did he go to town … exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes can be a dime a dozen directly … if these exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes are counted, I have to hand over the money to reach an astonishing five taxes and one … one day’s hard work can’t even keep the family fed and clothed …"
"Now our business tax is as high as ten taxes, but all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled … so we are willing to pay taxes according to ten taxes …"
Seeing the incredible expression on Zhang Yan’s face in front of him, the vegetable vendor continued to say, "Girl, don’t believe it … Did you see this scar mark on my arm because you didn’t want to pay those exorbitant taxes …"
"Now the tax is high, but once the tax was more important because the government stipulated that these tax officials were polite when they saw us. If there was no silver at that time, it would be fine. I have never seen an official beating people again."
"I heard that all this was implemented only after the governor of Shanshan, David … Thanks to David, a few days ago, I specially took out half a silver to make a memorial tablet for David, burning incense every day and wishing David a long life …"
"David, are you really so good …" I heard that Zhang Yan was shocked and didn’t know what words came to represent the consciousness of the vegetable vendor at the bottom of the people.
"Of course, we won’t save money from the limited rations to give David a memorial tablet of immortality … It seems to us that we should be the emperor in the big dynasty and we should be David … we poor people have a chance to live and die if David sits in the sky."
If it’s before the conversation, Zhang Yan will be very angry after hearing this sentence, because the words "the vegetable vendor is against the truth" in front of him are absolutely obvious.
But the fact that Zhang Yan can respond is the default …
