Cheng Jinzhou kept his word and posted the notice the next day.

As a result, people's voices suddenly arose, and people everywhere were talking about this matter.

Businessmen are all good at calculating. Those who have been on the dock all day long can see how big the capacity is in De'an. With such a fast entry and exit speed, it has a tax rate of 7%, and four provinces are saved. I don’t know how much tax is collected in one day.

If you look at the current business situation of the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, you can know the income status of the officials.

So when the notice first appeared, almost no one believed it.

Especially for those large businesses, the tax bill in hand can easily exceed 10,000 taels of silver. Even three months ago, the tax bill that had just started was less, and two to three thousand taels of silver were always needed - Xiang If an official of the imperial court asks for 3,000 taels of silver, isn't that asking for trouble? No matter how many people want to give 3,000 taels of silver to court officials, they can't. Naturally, no big business bank would do such a boring thing.

However, just because businesses don’t do it, it doesn’t mean that others are unwilling. Some businessmen with a small appearance work hard every day to earn a few taels or dozens of taels of silver. In addition, there are no means of tax avoidance, so the tax paid in a month is really a lot.

Therefore, some people gathered around the gate of the county government office, wanting to see how other people did it.

According to Cheng Jinzhou's request, Song Heng moved a table and sat under the screen wall in front of the county government office, waiting for everyone to go through the procedures. In order to avoid too many people, there were dozens of government officials waiting at all times, waiting to separate the crowd and sort out the order.

However, the presence of the government officials clearly gave the businessmen a bad association. Everyone looked at each other, but no matter whether they were interested or not, they did not dare to come forward directly.

Cheng Jinzhou looked anxiously near the county government office. He couldn't help but look left at the crowd and right at the government office.

Isu chuckled softly on his back. The dry voice of the koala seemed to be two extremes from its furry body.

"What do you want again?" Cheng Jinzhou lifted the koala by its neck, placed it on the ground and said, "You can exercise on your own."

"For the sake of your sense of humor, I'd like to remind you to ask that idiot to open the box and expose the silver inside." After saying this, the koala began to move on its own.

Cheng Jinzhou passed the message to Song Heng as told, and the latter immediately stood up and opened the lids of all the silver boxes piled on his hand.

The so-called pearls and jewels are the light and energy of banknotes. Diamonds are more valuable than glass because they are more expensive, while the unique luster of silver does not come from the metal, but from the price itself. All of this forms a dazzling light in front of people's eyes.

Someone shouted "I don't want my life", and people from behind rushed forward.

The government officials who were watching the excitement couldn't hold back any longer and tried their best to pull up the wall, but they were still squeezed crookedly - they had no experience in participating in large-scale sports events.

Song Heng was also shocked by the sight in front of him. It wasn't until the person in front made a painful sound of being squeezed that he realized what he was doing. He stood on the chair and shouted, "Don't squeeze."

Cheng Jinzhou sighed, waved his hands, and a roar of thunder suddenly sounded in the air: "No one should squeeze in. The next one who is discovered will be burned to death."

Everyone stood on the ground and did not dare to move.

Song Heng patted the shoulder of the person who was at the front, made a smile and said, "Let's start with you. Where is the receipt?"

"I have a customs clearance certificate." What the man took out was actually a receipt with the logo of Anqing Province written on it.

"38 two or four cents of silver, Zhenzi, go get the money and give it to him." Song Heng called the account clerk's name, then stamped the receipt and carefully pasted it on the cardboard on the table.

He was a 30-year-old man. He handed three ingots of silver into his hand, counted the scattered silver and copper coins, and gave them to the person who was squeezed in the front. The latter held more than thirty taels of silver and felt like a sudden windfall.

Most businessmen have reason to describe it as "windfall".

Because after the introduction of tariffs, merchants also uniformly increased the prices of their goods, thereby passing the cost on to consumers. Re-subsidizing it now is equivalent to getting a double-seam subsidy.

People's uneasiness was quickly eliminated by Song Heng's smile. Of course, the most important thing was the bright white silver.

After two large boxes and two thousand taels of silver were divided, someone began to ask: "Master Song, do you want the two months' worth of gold to be refunded as well?"

"Next month, two months' money will be refunded." Song Heng said with the words he had prepared long ago.

The tax amounting to nearly one million taels in three months is something De'an cannot digest at present, but it would be much simpler if the refund was divided into three months.

The county magistrate was still beside classmate Xiao Cheng, busy and busy. Seeing that everything was going smoothly, his brows furrowed.

"What are you worried about?" Cheng Jinzhou saw through it at a glance.

"I think..." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment and said: "I think, if from now on, the officials in those four provinces don't give bills to past merchants, what should we do?"

"That will be easy." Cheng Jinzhou laughed and said, "What are you afraid of now? The four provinces have united to demand the 7% tax. The merchants can't resist it, and our port will be depressed. But If they dare to collect taxes repeatedly, even those in the aristocratic world will stand up and speak, let alone whether I agree or disagree."

In order to make a profit from Sheng Dou rice, the officials are willing to set up cards on any major road or byway. Without a unified voucher, they would have to pay a new fee every time they go, and the road transportation fees will be unbearable. At that time, not only Cheng Jinzhou will object, but also the businessmen themselves will fight tooth and nail.

As the news spread, Song Heng's work became more and more busy, but the Lijin checkpoints in the four provinces were still devouring money. For them, if they delay a little longer, they can earn an extra penny. As for the Star Warlock What's the difference between the deterrence power and the governor?

After Cheng Jinzhou issued the order, he no longer paid attention to the details and lived in the Star Warlock Tower again, studying mathematics and physics every day, while not forgetting to throw something into the ring. After two days of this, Buddha finally appeared.

"You have saved 80,000 star yuan. Do you want to redeem it?" After he finished speaking, he said as if to explain: "I have been a little busy recently."

"Understandable, I want to buy 200 books." Cheng Jinzhou still has 200 Star Alliance points and will reach Star Alliance Level 5 with 10,000 points.

He also did not accuse Buddha of raising troops. He was a customer service person, and there was nothing he could do about it even if he disappeared.

Buddha didn't expect that when he first appeared, he would encounter such annoying things again. He couldn't help but said: "I suggest you buy it slowly. After copying it, compare it..."

"Sell them all at once." Cheng Jinzhou did not hesitate this time.

"Then you can't copy." Buddha also has the habit of observing Jinzhou.

"When the Star Alliance reaches level 5, there will be plenty of time for copying." Cheng Jinzhou had already made up his mind.
