Chapter 331 Chapter 331: Spring Plowing Sacrifice [Please vote]
Although this world is a bit chaotic, it is still very simple to a certain extent. After all, they have never thought of such an outrageous "reasonable tax avoidance" method! Merchants also know that the laws are imperfect and there are many ways to take advantage of them.
But their method is to repeatedly jump across the baseline.
If those in power are unhappy, you can always mess with them.
Looking at the method proposed by Shen Tang...
To be honest, Wu Xian’s blood pressure would skyrocket after hearing that! You must know that the current various tax items are basically one is one, and two is two. They are listed clearly in one column and one row. Just pay taxes accordingly! Not to mention a traditional businessman like Xu Jie.
He looked at her almost as if he didn't recognize Shen Tang at all, and after a long while he opened his mouth and uttered a sentence: "This, this... If I do this, my lord will be furious..."
Xu Jie had never seen Wu Xian lose his temper and jump out of control. But he had a hunch that if he really did this, he would be lucky enough to see it.
Shen Tang just smiled: "Why is he angry?"
Xu Jie fell silent.
Shen Jun actually had the nerve to ask Wu Xian why he was angry?
I heard Shen Tang say cheekily: "He shouldn't be angry, he should be grateful to us. Tell me, which of the methods I listed above can't be used? Take the 'distribution' This means that customers spend The money was spent on other goods, and the wine tax was only one tael. Did we evade tax? No, we paid the wine tax honestly."
"Blind box. The same is true for lottery " Shen Tang carefully broke the thing into pieces, forced it into Xu Jie's little head, and frantically sold Amway to Xu Jie, brainwashing him, "Is the customer buying wine? No, what he is buying is lottery qualifications and games. ! Wine is a game played by customers Prizes! Is there any current law that imposes taxes on free prizes?"
Xu Jie said with difficulty..."
Shen Tang was emotional Slap him on the back.
"That's right! Since they couldn't find anything unreasonable about us after searching through the laws, then we are reasonable! Since it is reasonable, then it is allowed! Since it is allowed, then it can be done. "
Xu Jie's eyes became speechless - he suspected that Jun Shen had been replaced by a civet cat! How could these words come from the mouth of the sincere, enthusiastic, kind and kind-hearted Mr. Shen?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"Written Notes."
There was still a smile on Shen Tang's lips.
Just the sound of "annotation" made his spine tingle.
It felt very much like Wu Xian's cold tone when his brothers were stabbed, and he wished he could kill his limbs with his own hands. It was also at that time that he saw the ruthlessness in Wu Xian! However, this feeling is fleeting, so fast that people think it is an illusion.
Shen Tang asked: "There is always one of them available, right?"
There was a bit of "coercion" in these words.
Just like Wu Xian's previous "threat" to Shen Tang.
She forced Xu Jie to "reasonably avoid taxes"!
"Of course." Xu Jie felt uncomfortable in his heart and reluctantly smiled, "Xu just learned today what 'listening to your words is worth ten years of reading'. I think Mr. Shen is quite good at businessmanship. Talent, if If you concentrate on business, you will become a rich man in the world!"
Shen Tang said: "Merchant? That's not possible."
"Why? Don't you like merchants too?"
Shen Tang shook his head and said bluntly: "Never before, merchants also have their own meaning of existence. But I may not have heard of a slang term in the article - if you don't stock guns, your home is a granary; if you don't stock guns, then there are granaries everywhere. .business Jia has money but does not have the power to match it. He does not produce but has the ability to collect all the money. Sooner or later, he will be a reserve in the eyes of jackals and tigers."
She patted Xu Jie's shoulder with a stiff expression.
“It’s better for others to have it than for me to have it!”
Why do we have to choose one or the other?
Adults, want them all!
After scaring Xu Jie, Shen Tang's inner anger was relieved by three points, but there were still seven points left that she needed to digest alone.
Gu Chi heard from all the way that Shen Tang was cursing like he had eaten firecrackers, and 11 out of 10 words were greetings to Wu Xian and Xu Jie, the main ministers. Chu Yao, who was coming with him, stopped and looked at him doubtfully: "Why can't I go in to watch the tide?"
Gu Chi smiled bitterly.
If you extend your head with a knife, it will also be a knife with you if you shrink your head. Just as he was hesitating whether to go in, he heard a "come in" sound coming from inside the house.
The two looked at each other and stepped in at the same time.
There was still anger left on Shen Tang's face.
"Why is my lord angry?" Chu Yao bent down and tidied up the books on the low table that Shen Tang had overturned, "Because of Xu Jie?"
They also received news that Xu Jie was here.
"You will know after you take a look." Shen Tang handed the several volumes of account books sent by Xu Jie to the two of them. They read the ten lines at a glance and exchanged information with each other, with a flash of light in their eyes.
Shen Tang wished he could overturn the low table in front of him as if it were Xu Jie, and said angrily: "Guess what he said?"
Chu Yao asked gently: "What?"
"The seedlings are all good."
Chu Yao translated into Chinese: "It's just that the price is a little expensive?"
"Farm tools although It’s not brand new, but the price is low!”
Chu Yao said with a smile: “It’s probably an old thing that has been used in previous years. It’s not useless, but it probably won’t last long.”
Shen Tang became even angrier when he heard this, and gritted his teeth: "The farm cattle are all old cattle with many years of service and rich experience!"
Chu Yao and Gu Chi looked at each other.
Have a better understanding of the treachery of merchants.
“Is that an old cow that has passed its prime?”
Shen Tang slapped the low table with a clang.
"Listen! Wu Zhaode and Xu Wenzhu asked us, is this a garbage recycling station? Is it a swill bucket for swill treatment? We spent more than 2,300 taels on these wretched things, and we got all the change! Bullying! You are too cruel! You are really bullying others!"
Chu Yao and I can only persuade Shen Tang with your words.
They were mentally prepared for Wu Zhaode and his two men's saucy operations - how could Wu Zhaode watch his own 10,000 taels of silver flow into Shen Tang's hands? It's impossible not to do something.
My lord suffered a loss that he did not understand.
Shen Tang twitched the corner of his mouth, sneered, and swore loudly: "But I also sent the first army back. If you trick me once, can you trick me again and again? If you don't completely separate Wu Zhaode and Xu Wenzhu , I, Shen Youli, write the three characters backwards!”
I feel like saying such harsh words is not enough.
“We do what we say, but the puppy can’t do it!”
Chu Yao: “…”
Gu Chi: “…”
In fact, they also admire Wu Xian and Xu Jie. They are actually able to push Shen Tang to this level!
It’s amazing!
Shen Tang fanned himself with a fan made from his hand.
The brain calmed down and reason returned.
"Is there something wrong with Wuhui and Wangchaolai?"
The grass-roots team, with "poor" and "007" as its corporate culture, began a crazy involution under the leadership of the boss Shen Tang. Unless there is something special, Shen Tang usually won't see these two.
Chu Yao: "Sacrifice for spring plowing."
"Sacrifice for spring plowing?"
The river blooms in February and the spring warms in March.
After this snow ends, the weather will get warmer day by day.
In order to pray for a good harvest in the new year, there will be an activity to worship the spring god Jumang before the start of spring plowing, with the intention of seeking good luck.
Chu Yao and others are not very interested in this kind of activity, but they can't help ordinary people believe that without sacrifices, nothing is missing.
If a famine occurs during this year, it will be easily blamed by the common people for reasons such as "disrespecting the Spring God, which will make the Spring God angry", and it can easily be exploited by people with ulterior motives. When people's hearts are in chaos, chaos will arise.
"If that's the case, then let's do it."
It would save trouble if we had a formality, and she was happy with it.
However, Shen Tang didn't expect that she would be involved here.
Before the spring plowing ceremony begins, a respected local elder will serve as the commissary and read aloud an article written in advance to worship the spring god. He may also read and sing a poem related to farming.
Then burn the article and convey it to the God of Spring in the sky.
After that comes the "performance" part. The oxen were ordered to plow the fields, and the wooden plows were used to cut the land.
The food seeds will be sown by the chief minister.
Others followed behind, handling farm tools.
A group of people are in full swing in the field showing the scene of farming. Afterwards, animals were sacrificed to the God of Spring, and the chief of society led the crowd to burn incense and pray. After everything is over, the common people who participated in the event can get some of the meat after the sacrifice.
Even this "dividing livestock meat" is very particular.
Whose family is rich, who is poor, whose family has more land, who has less land, who has seniority, who has great fame...the size and parts of the meat that can be divided are different. This little "sharing of animal meat" is full of human kindness...
Shen Tang: "...I have to do this too?"
It’s a complete nightmare for sociophobic people!
Chu Yao shook his head: "Yes and no."
The procedures he mentioned are generally carried out in villages and clan units. Shen Tang is the county guard, and the spring plowing and sacrificial procedures are similar. You can divide the animal meat however you like.
Anyway, he would have no problem with others.
Shen Tang: “…”
They handed over another brochure.
It records the distribution of farmland, farm tools, cattle, and seedlings. Because the project of re-registering the people of Fugu City has been completed, this did not take much time.
Xu Jie and Wu Xian made a fuss about oxen and farm tools, but the impact was not big. Anyway, they are either using oxen to plow the land now, or Zhao Feng is a little tired - hehe, after all, it is not their own. A courageous warrior will not feel bad if he uses it!
As for growing seedlings and growing grain, the quantity is sufficient.
Solving urgent needs.
Shen Tang read the entire booklet word for word and sentence for sentence.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is the only good news today.
Shen Tang pointed to the record of the wooden plow and said: "Go back and find two carpenters. There is a lot to be done with the wooden plow."
Today's wooden plows are all straight-shaft wooden plows. .
It is bulky, difficult to turn, and has low farming efficiency.
Shen Tang can't always rely on Wudan warriors to plow the land. After all, Wudan warriors' home field will be on the battlefield for a long time in the future, not on farmland. Improving the wooden plow is the way to go.
Chu Yao and Chu Yao didn’t ask anything, just said “wei”.
Although their lord is young and often talkative, he is absolutely reliable when he should be reliable. In other words, cynicism is just a mask for her to hide her true face.
Shen Tang rubbed his sore eyebrows.
After thinking about it, I still can't think of anything missing.
He said: "That's it for the time being."
The ice and snow melted, and it was a good time for spring plowing.
Shen Tang has been doing homework these days. After all, it is his first time to host a spring plowing ceremony, so he must be familiar with the process. Xu Jie left five days before the start of spring plowing. After all, Tianhai had the same custom, and he was going to be there as an important member of Wu Xian's account.
Shen Tang shrugged secretly and did not force him to stay.
I just reminded him of "reasonable tax avoidance" on the day of farewell.
Xu Jie smiled reluctantly and left with fifty jars of "last year's limited edition" spiritual wine - if he hadn't stopped him, Shen Tang would have wanted to encourage him to set a limited edition year, package it and kill the big fat sheep. .
Xu Jie: "..."
No need.
One "reasonable tax avoidance" is enough to make the lord angry.
On the day of spring plowing, the sky was sunny and the breeze was gentle.
Everything went well during the sacrifice——
What a man (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Unfavorable start!
"Qi Yuan Liang! Look at the good things your cat has done!”
Shen Tang's blood pressure suddenly increased.
I didn’t expect that the cheat sheet I had made would be ruined by Su Shang’s urine. Su Shang, who already had the size of an adult beautiful cat, saw that the situation was not good, so she exerted all her strength and rushed towards her own shit-sweeping officer. . He meows softly in his mouth, and his tone is coquettish and tactful.
As a beautiful little girl from Shang who has a literary scholar as a shit shoveler, she has been very active in the past few months. She is obviously a little female cat, but she has a round face. A pair of round eyes that make people's hearts tremble. Who can refuse them?
At least pray that the shit shovel officer is good!
He couldn't even bear the heart of Su Shang to catch mice, and wished he could dry and clean every mouse and send them to others' plates!
"My lord, is this?"
Shen Tang held his nose with one hand and twirled a corner of the cheat sheet with his fingers on the other hand: "Look at the good things it has done! This is a memorial that I specially prepared. For this I’m almost bald!”
But there’s no network disk backup yet!
Qishan frowned and looked at Sushang Maomao, who was coquettishly and stroking her breasts in his arms, with an innocent look on her face: "Lord, do you still remember?"
"You will remember what you write every day. ?”
Qishan is straightforward: "Yes."
"But I can't!"
What a shame!
It is too late to write another article now.
Shen Tang had to search hard to think of a suitable article.
Qi Shan knew a lot, but each article was obscure and lengthy. In addition, the time was approaching, and Shen Tang was anxious and couldn't remember it for some reason. In the end, I had to break the jar.
“Forget it, let’s just cram it for a while.”
The length is difficult, but she can do the short one.
Shen Tang was dressed as a county guard and hurried over with his skirt in hand. Almost all the officials in the office were present.
Qi Shan, Kang Shi, Chu Yao, Gu Chi, and Gong Shuwu were in the first row behind Shen Tang, followed by high-ranking officials with all the qualifications of Fu Guzhi, and then Li Li, Bai Su, Lin Feng, Yu Zi, Tu Rong... In fact, Zhao Feng should also be in the front row, but he was under Wu Xian's account after all, so he declined the invitation and only brought a few confidants to watch the excitement in the front row of the crowd.
Occasionally you can hear the crowd whispering.
If you listen carefully, it all has something to do with Bai Su and Lin Feng.
It turns out that the Spring Plowing Ceremony in Fugu City is a very serious occasion, and women are not allowed to participate, they can only watch.
But Shen Tang allowed it, and it was difficult for officials to stop him.
Because of Shen Tang, the common people did not dare to make any noise in public.
In front of the sacrificial altar.
Shen Tang took a deep breath secretly.
She chose a very familiar poem.
Well, that’s the only thing she can think of right now.
The onlookers held their breath and listened to the beautiful county guard saying in his unique clear voice: "The God of Spring is above, Shen Youli, the governor of Xiaguan Heyin County, led a group of officials under his control. I wish the people of Heyin a good harvest in the new year.”
"The God of Spring is kind and bless you."
"I wish - one grain of millet is planted in the spring and ten thousand grains are harvested in the autumn!"
The next sentence is that there is no idle land in the world, and farmers are starving to death.
Too unlucky.
What she wants is that no more people will starve to death under her rule!
_(:3 ∠)_
I hesitated for a long time, but I felt that there was no better agricultural production increase buff than this one.
Shiitake feels that she is really too fat, and her endocrine disorder is extremely serious. She is so heartbroken that she plans to sign up for a weight loss training camp next week. I don’t believe she can’t lose weight!
