"Assholes, they are all assholes, where are the thoughts? Where is the value of a sachet worth fifty shi of grain? This palace is going to ask Tang Hao, this asshole who is so searching for people's wealth, where is the law of heaven?"

Li Zhi laughed, and pressed her hand. "I think it's right to set the price higher. Those who can afford these bags are not poor people. At least Wu You needs food and clothing. A woman from a rich and a poor family is basically divided into two classes. Twelve silver coins, not many. Qian Sheng, what did Tang Hao say?"

Qian Sheng said helplessly: "Weichen asked the Tang family at the beginning. They said that they were not selling leather bags. Their family only sold the noble Life. This leather bag was just a sign that the host family was in the wealthy life."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I remember, Tang Hao has asked before and levied a luxury tax."

"Of course, I still disagree. Now it seems that Tang Hao is a wake-up call for me. Forget it, buying a leather bag with fifty shi grains is really too much. You only hit the provincial government to draw up a list of luxury goods. The tax rate has been tripled."

After Li Zhi read the will, he asked the female officials to get up, and was not ready to scold them. I can unwittingly find a loophole and quickly fill it up. I can't help but say that this is a victory.

The news that the emperor was preparing to levy a luxury tax immediately made the Tang family's old shopkeeper Lao Zhou's hanging heart fall to the ground. He had no idea about making money. Now it's fine. The imperial court has begun to levy heavy taxes. This is a good thing. .

The Tang family has always put safety first in doing business. It must be reasonable, reasonable and legal. The introduction of the luxury tax has immediately vanished the early worries.

"Fu Shou, tell me, what is the tax rate of the luxury tax in your majesty's decree?" Lao Zhou put down his tea bowl and asked the man who had just reported the news.

"The treasurer, your majesty has set the luxury tax three times more than the current tax." The man quickly replied.

"What? Old Monday jumped up from the chair, and his sleeves brought the tea bowls upside down. He hurried to tell the general, triple? How can it be tripled? If this passes the three provinces, our family will have to be scolded to death. "

Before Datang's decree was issued, there was a set of very strict procedures. For a decree to be produced, it must pass through the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu.

The Central Publishing House drafted an order, and the emperor approved the red and then went to the sub-province for review, and finally went through Yushitai's deliberation. If the boss of Yushitai is dissatisfied with the emperor's decree, he will fight back and re-draft it. Until he is satisfied, he will be sent to Shangshu Province for execution. There was the position of Shang Shuling before.

After Li Zhi's father was enthroned, the position of Shang Shuling disappeared. This is the most powerful department among the six central provinces, and Li Zhi took this right in his own hands intentionally or unintentionally.

Since the emperor defeated the powerful enemy on the grassland, authority has grown stronger, and many decrees have been issued to the Zhongshu Province without consultation. Fang Xuanling usually persuades him, but when he sees the emperor insists on going his own way, he will draft a decree and send it to the government.

Changsun Wuji has opposed the title of Zhaozhou Governor since the last time he opposed. I don't know how it was cleaned up by the emperor, anyway, since then, the monarch has always failed to follow the orders of the emperor. In the past two years, Wei Zheng was driven by the emperor to run around like a dog.

Those soft eggs left in Yushitai, who dares to stroke the emperor's dragon beard? Naturally it will pass unanimously. Then it was executed by Shangshu Province, a department controlled by the emperor himself.

No matter how smart a person is, there are things that are missed. How can Li Zhi make an exception? The luxury tax reappears, is it a lot to turn three somersaults on the existing basis? This is not food, cloth and other necessities. If you turn around three somersaults, the people will not be able to live. This is a luxury. If the profit is not over a hundred somersaults, you are embarrassed to call it a luxury?

The tax rate currently implemented in Yuezhou is one tax per ten, or according to the original tax on food. The tax on Tang’s bags is actually a tax on crocodile skin.

As for the crocodile skin, you split it into several layers and no one cares about you. The government just gave you half an inch of crocodile skin, the last tax. The tax on the restaurant is also the tax on raw materials. Tang’s restaurant earns money every day, and the monthly business tax is only ten silver coins.

Lao Zhou was anxious, like a donkey who was grinding, and said to Tang Hao: "General, this is not possible, so making money, we are not at ease in our own hearts."

Indeed, in Lao Zhou's view, the tax rate has turned three somersaults. What's the difference between this and no increase?

"The old slave thought that levying ten taxes and one tax on the final real object was about the same. You have to tell your majesty that if this continues, our luggage and bags will not be sold. Everyone will be jealous. By then, the world will be full of enemies. , The gain is not worth the loss."

Chang Le stood behind Tang Hao, helping him rub his temples. After Tang Hao heard the news from his buddy, he started to have a headache. The agricultural society quickly entered the commercial society, and Li Zhi was not prepared. He thought that the triple tax rate was already very high.

But on the contrary, it makes people embarrassed. Once it becomes the law, it is determined, and if the law is not revised for ten years, if the Tang family earns a lot of money for another ten years, will it be worth it? In fact, everyone is looking forward to the birth of the luxury tax.
