Chapter 430 Commercial Tax

Out of friendship, Zhu Zhuan still reminded him before leaving, "Zhao Governor should still meet many merchants from the south along the way, and they should be stuck in Nanyang at the moment."

Zhao Hanzhang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Why, are there so many gangsters in Nanyang?"

Zhu Zhuan said meaningfully: "That is not a bandit, but a normal tax collection."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly and said, "Oh? I wonder what taxes all the gentlemen paid along the way?" This also gave her a lot of insights.

"There are many tax items, including vehicle and horse tax, commodity toll tax, road damage tax, and oh, there is also foot and foot tax."

Zhao Hanzhang was confused, "Footwear tax?"

"Some small traders do not have enough money. They have neither livestock nor carts, but rely on shoulders and slings to transport goods. Then there is one less vehicle and horse tax, and naturally they have to make up for the foot tax. ."

Zhao Hanzhang:......

Fu Tinghan was also shocked. He asked subconsciously: "So those of you who have carriage and horse tax don't have to pay foot and foot tax?"

"Of course you have to pay it. Although there are carriages and horses, most people still have to walk, so how many people are standing on the ground will have to pay the foot tax."

Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, feeling a headache, and asked: "Young masters came all the way from Shu. Is this the case only in Nanyang Kingdom, or..."

"That's not true. The land of Shu is not bad. Once you leave the land of Shu, there are more commercial taxes of various types. Nanyang Kingdom is just one of them, and it is a little... more." Zhu Chuan smiled and said: "This time I saw many vendors along the way, among which there were more than three times more small vendors than before. They all heard that the governor of Yuzhou had a treasure and was generous with his money. All supplies that could be transported were sold without any worries, and business taxes were reduced along the way, so everyone Just came here."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his lips and nodded: "Yes, I did reduce the commercial tax. I wonder how much commercial tax you paid in total when you passed by Nanyang this time?"

Zhu Zhu said: "When I entered Nanyang Kingdom, I paid a customs fee of 1.2 million yuan in one go. With this clause, I can pass through Nanyang Kingdom smoothly, but after leaving Nanyang Kingdom, other prefectures and counties may not recognize me. "

One million and two hundred thousand, that's about one thousand two hundred taels. Money is expensive now. Well, after thinking about it this way, it doesn't hurt too much.

Zhao Hanzhang said soothingly: "Young masters, don't worry. When you enter Runan County, there will be no commercial taxes along the way. You can pass without worries."

Zhu Zhuan also smiled.

He now only has three carts of valuable goods left, and most of his assets are on them. He just donated thirty carts of supplies to Zhao Hanzhang. To be honest, he is still a little heartbroken. If there is still such a tax next time, even if the family is a big business If someone is as big as him, he can't bear it.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the vendor, lowered his eyes and began to think.

When Zhu Chuan left, Fu Tinghan said: "Small traders like this can be completely exempted from commercial tax."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "I think so too. I will come up with detailed rules later and inform each county."

She raised her lips and said: "I originally thought that Nanyang Kingdom was close to Runan County and had always been among the five counties in Yuzhou, so there would be fewer problems, but now it seems that there are quite a few."

Fu Tinghan also remained silent. He felt the faint murderous intention on Zhao Hanzhang, but looked up and saw the refugees sitting not far away, huddled together for warmth, too weak to move; look at those bare feet, or Wearing straw sandals and ragged clothes but with bright eyes, the child was walking through the forest to collect firewood. He suppressed what he wanted to say.

She is right!

Zhao Hanzhang was also looking at these refugees, and the two of them stood side by side and watched in silence.

Zhao Erlang jumped out of nowhere, holding a rabbit in his left and right hands. He rushed towards them happily, "Sister, brother-in-law, look at the rabbit I killed!"

Behind him, Lu Hu was carrying a roe deer, and he laughed at the two of them with an honest face. Zhao Erlang said loudly: "This is what Lu Hu did. This roe deer is so stupid. When he saw us hunting rabbits, he ran around and ended up hitting us." He entered Lu Hu's arms and was knocked unconscious by Lu Hu's fist."

Zhao Erlang had a great time today. He gave two rabbits to his sister and brother-in-law, and asked Lu Hu to throw the roe deer to the other guards. He also wanted to go into the forest to play.

"Sister, can you lend me your bow? Your bow is bigger and can shoot farther than me. I also want to hunt roe deer. I heard that there are deer in the mountains. Maybe I can still hunt deer."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Qiu Wu.

Qiu Wu immediately brought up her bow and arrows.

Zhao Hanzhang handed it to him and asked, "Can you pull it away?"

"able!"

Zhao Erlang immediately took a step forward and raised his hand to show her.

The veins in his neck were bulging, and his arms were shaking slightly after he was pulled into a semicircle.

Zhao Hanzhang saw it, reached out and held his hand, helped him draw the bow to perfection and then let it go.

She squeezed his arm and said, "You still have to practice, don't be brave."

Zhao Hanzhang took back the bow, threw it to Qiu Wu, patted his shoulder and back, and said thoughtfully, "After the New Year, you are one year older. You should be able to use medicinal herbs to temper your body. Then you can do daily training on your arms." I’ll tie a sandbag to my arm to practice my arm strength, and I’ll be able to draw my bow in no time.”

When Zhao Erlang heard this, his eyes widened, "Can I also brew the herbs that my sister brewed? I wanted to brew them before, but Uncle Qianli didn't allow it."

"That is the formula prepared for me. Besides, you are young and are growing taller quickly. It is not good to brew herbs at this time. Just turn over the Chinese New Year and ask Uncle Qianli to prepare a new prescription for you."

Zhao Erlang agreed, he moved his arms, and finally went to get his bow and arrow honestly, and greeted Lu Hu before heading into the mountain again.

Zhao Hanzhang did not stop him. He even called Qiu Wu and asked him to send some soldiers to follow him. He said loudly: "Fight more, and we will eat well tonight!"

But it's late winter now, and there aren't many prey out there. Zhao Erlang already knows how to survive in the wild and knows how to look for them along the water source.

Sure enough, walking along the water source, they found many traces of wild beasts. Further on, there were large blisters. When they lifted up the tall weeds, they saw a group of wild deer inside.

Zhao Erlang's eyes were bright and he excitedly called to the people behind him, "Look, it's a deer! I want to hunt a deer for my sister!"

Zhao Hanzhang was very envious of Zhao Erlang's ability to go hunting in the mountains without any worries. She also wanted to go, so she turned to Fu Tinghan and said, "Let's go hunting in the mountains tomorrow when we are stationed."

Anyway, things have been arranged, let Fan Ying and the others follow the rules. As long as they subdue these refugees tonight, there will be no need for her to stay to scare them tomorrow.

Fu Tinghan also liked occasional outdoor activities to relax, so he nodded.

The sky was getting dark, and when Zhao Erlang and the others came out excitedly carrying the two deer, the camp was already filled with the smell of rice.

In Shu, rice is still the main food, but wheat is also available, so Zhu Zhuan mainly brought rice this time.

Fan Ying and the others cooked it directly with the shells on. There was no other way. It was very troublesome to remove the shells for a while.

But they boiled it for a long time, and the shells exploded, as did the rice popsicles inside. The thick porridge exuded a sweet and attractive aroma. Everyone stared at the pots and couldn't move.
