Wei and Jin cooks

"It's good, but the things to be reported are too detailed, and the taxes are complicated. I don't know how Luoyang City will collect taxes?" He was worried that the taxes were complicated and heavy, and he would not end up making money for the government.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, and also wanted to hear their opinions on the current commercial tax, so he said: "I would like to take a look at the Sichuan brocade you brought. Otherwise, how about we meet at the Shiwei Building at noon tomorrow?"

The steward has never been to Luoyang and doesn't know where the Shiwei Restaurant is, but he has heard of Zhenxiu Restaurant, which is a restaurant opened by Zhao Hu. There are Zhenxiu Restaurants in Xiping and Chen counties.

So he asked: "Why not go to Zhen Gourmet House?"

Because everyone in Zhenxiu, from the shopkeeper to the waiters, knows her.

Zhao Hanzhang opened his eyes and lied: "The chicken soup at Shiweilou is extremely delicious. From the accent of the manager, he must be from Jiangyang. I heard that there is a famous dish in Jiangyang called White Horse Chicken Soup."

When the steward heard this, his eyes widened and he kept saying: "Young girl actually knows about Jiang Yang? Yes, our white horse chicken soup is very famous. My mother-in-law makes it very delicious."

He agreed to Zhao Hanzhang's appointment at the Shiwei Building, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely leave the best Shu brocade to you."

Zhao Hanzhang was satisfied and said goodbye.

The closer you get to the city gate, the more soldiers patrolling and guarding you. The troops are neat and tidy, and no one dares to offend the convoy.

There were sellers carrying pots selling soup and carrying ladles selling cakes, and the soldiers would step aside without blocking them.

Zhao Hanzhang stopped. There was a young soldier with a round face who couldn't help but follow the salesman. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward and stood in front of him. The little soldier immediately came to his senses and stood with his head raised and chest raised, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hanzhang.

After a while, he recognized Zhao Hanzhang, his eyes widened, and he was about to clasp his fists in salute. Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand to stop him, came to his side, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Have you had dinner?"

The little soldier couldn't help but whispered: "No."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Are you hungry?"

The little soldier said without thinking: "I'm not hungry!"

Zhao Hanzhang looked up at him.

The little soldier said uncertainly: "Hungry?"

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know whether you are hungry or not?"

The little soldier blushed and lowered his head, daring not to speak.

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight."

"It's not hard at all to serve the general."

The movement here quickly attracted their attention. He quickly rushed over, glanced at the soldiers and bent down slightly with Zhao Hanzhang. He seemed to know that she did not want to reveal her identity, so he lowered his voice and said: "General, County Lord Both the county magistrate and the county magistrate are waiting for you."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said to him as he walked forward: "Let the military camp send another team to replace you. You go down to eat first. There is still grinding tonight. You can exchange it."

What should I do?

Zhao Hanzhang stopped halfway, turned around and looked up and down, and suddenly asked: "Are you married?"

The chief was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "No, I have a low status and no savings. How can I get a wife?"

"Want to get a wife?"

Shi Chang licked his lips and smiled naively at Zhao Hanzhang, "Of course I want to marry him."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Will you marry a widow?"

Shi Chang said without thinking: "Marry!"

"Where's the one with the kids?"

Shi Chang was even more happy and said loudly: "Marry!"

Everyone nearby looked over, and the excitement in his heart faded instantly. He asked Zhao Hanzhang uneasily, "Can they like me?"

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and patted his shoulder, turned and left.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, nearby soldiers immediately gathered around him, "Is that the general? What are you talking about? Why can't you go? Where are you going?"

"Go, go, go, what I said is...nothing, just ooohhhh..." Shi Chang mumbled, he didn't want to tell others, what if he was robbed?

By the way, what the general said was to help him play matchmaking, right?

But does the general know his name?

Why didn't she ask him what his name was?

It would be bad if you end up admitting the wrong person.

Shi Chang looked sad.

Zhao Hanzhang had already found Zhao Erlang and Zhao Zheng, and the beginning was, "This group of soldiers has not eaten yet, so go to the army and transfer a group to replace the defense."

Then he asked, "Have they eaten?"

The question was asked by the officials and students who were responsible for recording and checking.

Zhao Erlang shook his head and said, "Sister, I didn't eat either."

"You are an idler now, just put a mouthful of dry food into your mouth." Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Zheng, "I think it will be dawn tonight, so you can rest on the tower."

Zhao Zheng agreed, and then told about the tax deduction from the receipts, "But this time they will deduct it in Luoyang, and next time they will deduct it elsewhere. It is difficult to put the accounts together. I want to make a book directly and put that receipt The list is included in it, and the amount of tax deducted is written on it. Also, the amount of tax deducted in various places. Does the national treasury need to replenish the local tax?"

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "I will do as you said. Make a book, record the amount of tax deducted each time, and stamp it. As for the amount of tax deducted by the local government, it will be calculated from the taxes they should pay to the court every year." deduction."

"But if he deducts it in some small places, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the local economy."

For example, in a small county town, the annual tax revenue is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the income is basically kept in the local area for expenses, and there is basically no excess for the court. If a caravan chooses such a small county town to deduct it, it can be exempted immediately. Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, would have been an opportunity for the development of small counties, but due to deductions, the money nominally went into their counties, but in fact it did not.

Even, their original tax revenue will be reduced. Under such circumstances, small counties will only become poorer and poorer, without opportunities for development.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will add a decree that the deduction is only allowed in some special counties. You should also explain it to the merchants when you register. If you can't remember it, ask them to write it down."

Zhao Zheng: "Which cities does the general want to limit?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Xiping, Chenxian, Luoyang, Chang'an, Linqiu...the administrative offices of Kyushu under the imperial court are all deduction counties."

Except for Chang'an, these places can all achieve a surplus in size. They need to send a certain amount of taxes to the court every year, so the excess can be deducted.

Zhao Zheng thought this method was very good, so he wrote it down, "This matter is important. Does it require court discussion?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "I can wait, but they can't wait. I have made the decision on this matter, so be it."

Zhao Zheng responded.

Zhao Hanzhang was about to leave when he thought of something and turned back, "Zhao Zheng, are you familiar with the registered population of Luoyang City?"

Zhao Zheng nodded, "Yes." When Zhao Kuan was the county magistrate, they and Taixue would often help write household registers and record the settlement of refugees, so they were naturally familiar with it.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Are there many widows in the city?"
