Chapter 252 Door-to-door tax collection
"You mean if you make a mistake, you will use your own money to advance it, or even borrow it from your grandpa? You have to think about this matter carefully. The financial amount of a city is far away." It’s beyond your imagination. It’s very likely that your grandpa can’t afford it and has to borrow someone else’s.”
Tang Yue donated Xuanjian City in the secret realm. How could he not know how much it costs?
She said firmly: "I can make this promise in exchange for you letting me be the city lord for these two months to prove my strength."
What Tang Wenhua was thinking about was not that she was wrong. , the city suffered heavy losses, but if she made a big mistake, she would have an excuse to say that she was not suitable to be the city lord in the future. This was a chance to eliminate Tang Yue's chance to fight for the throne, and it could also teach her a lesson, so that she would not I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.
"Okay, since you boasted about Haikou, then I will let you sit as the master of Qionghua Pavilion for two months. Then you can't ask me for help."
Tang Yue laughed. He said, "Okay, I will never go to you." When had he helped her, an unpopular daughter?
The city lord couldn't bear to lose face. He understood. At this moment, Tang Yue was mocking him as an unfit father. Even if he loved Tang Wan a little, how about Tang Yue's kindness in giving birth?
The younger daughter is becoming more and more outrageous now. Relying on the power of her grandfather and the Shui family, she doesn't even take him seriously as a father.
The city lord left, and Senior Brother Wei walked to the hall. He had been watching from the side just now, and was ready to come out to protect Tang Yue when the situation was bad, so that she would not suffer any loss.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yue actually said that if there was a deficit in two months, she would make up for it, "Junior sister, you just said that, they will definitely find a way to ruin your business."
Who is Wei Hongyun talking about? , they all know each other well, including Tang Wenhua, the "father"
Tang Yue replied: "Brother, no matter what I do, they will find ways to frame me and destroy my reputation so that I can't take the position of heir. In this case, why don't I give them a reason first so that they have to start from this point, and we will know what they are going to do."
"Junior sister is really smart. "Having changed his thinking direction, Wei Hongyun felt much more relaxed. The struggle for power was always full of dangers. He had to get used to it and work hard to help his junior sister, not only for her and his master's wife, but also for the people like them from Wuji Mountain.
After Tang Yue announced that he wanted to be the Young City Lord, these people who followed Shui Yingrou to Kunwu City seemed to have found their backbone and had a goal to strive for. Their momentum was different from before. When they saw Zi Xiaofu disciples no longer give in on everything.
After being suppressed for many years, they have rekindled hope and fighting spirit in their hearts. They have a common goal and are much more united than before.
"Junior Sister, what is the first thing you have to do?"
"Of course it is to check the accounts and increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
Mrs. Shui has always felt that her method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is If it was too cruel, it would offend the well-established families in the city, so only a third of it was used.
This makes Tang Yue feel very regretful. She cannot see how much surplus there will be after all the implementation. Now it is equivalent to giving her an opportunity to confirm her thinking. Of course she will not miss it.
This is the researcher. The experiment has been designed. How can we not verify it?
As for what the rich people in the city think, she is young and it is her first time doing it, so she is a bit over the top. Please bear with her. Everything will be decided after Shui Yingrou comes out of seclusion. By that time, everyone will be used to the new rules. .
And she took the initiative to give Zixiao Mansion an excuse, so don’t let her down.
Tang Yue is very quick at reading ledgers. In addition to her flexible thinking, good memory, and stronger mental arithmetic ability after upgrading her spiritual roots, she also introduced double-entry bookkeeping two years ago. Now it is much more convenient. She can pick out key accounts. Saw it.
As expected, the Zixiao Mansion owed the most debt. She called many senior brothers in Qionghua Pavilion, "Let's go and collect the debt."
She even made a special "tax return" , a series of "Pay Taxes" signs, and banners that read "Paying taxes is the obligation of citizens" and "Repaying money is the duty of a human being." The monks of Qionghua Pavilion often collected accounts, and they had developed a good face. They did not feel ashamed to hold these, and walked towards Zixiao Mansion in a mighty manner.
Tang Yue politely informed the door manager of Zixiao Mansion, "We at Qionghua Pavilion are here to collect taxes. We hope that Zixiao Mansion can prepare the accounts, as well as taxes and arrears. We will take them away together today. If you refuse to pay taxes, don’t blame Kunwu City for being merciless.”
The manager of Zixiao Mansion had never been angry with a group of people coming to collect debts. He wanted to get angry, but the identity of the girl in front of him. It was not someone he could afford to offend, so he had to say: "Please allow me to pass the news."
The steward directly found the master of the palace. Cao Yanjun laughed angrily, "Her mother didn't even dare to collect my taxes. She dared to leave the Qionghua Pavilion’s people outside the door. I wonder what they can do?”
He hasn't made a move on Tang Yue yet, how dare she take the initiative to ignore him?
The steward was sweating profusely and said anxiously: "The Qionghua Pavilion was beating gongs and drums, holding a sign, and pulling a red cloth strip with words on it, saying that if you don't pay taxes, you have not fulfilled your duty. , harming the interests of Kunwu City. If they refuse to pay taxes, they will break in. Many people and casual cultivators have gathered at the door. "
Tang Wenhua had veins on his forehead, he said. Have you ever been treated like this? The Zixiao Mansion has an unusual status. It is an official organization in the city and is responsible for the training of disciples and the preparation of the army in the city. Although he still had to pay taxes, he often missed paying some. Qionghua Pavilion turned a blind eye and let it go. Now that kid is arrogant as soon as he gains power, not taking his power over the years seriously.
"Okay, let her come in, let me see what she can take back?"
Tang Yue brought hundreds of people into Zixiao Mansion at once, and Master Cao met this With such a posture, he crushed the tea cup in his hand. Are all these people here to raid the house?
The monks who came this time were all young and energetic. They were dissatisfied that Zixiao Mansion had been embarrassing them in Qionghua Pavilion for a long time. They usually had deep grudges, but they were often warned by the elders in the pavilion to endure it. There can be no conflict.
The monks from Zixiao Mansion became more and more arrogant, stepping on their faces many times, and they couldn't bear it anymore.
Since the young Pavilion Master, or the future Young City Master, takes the lead, they will definitely come to take revenge. We will talk about the future later. If they can’t relax now, it will be harmful to their Taoism.
Due to too many people, the monks from Qionghua Pavilion and the disciples from Zixiao Mansion could only stand in the square in front of the main hall. The two sides were facing each other, and they were very motivated to fight.
After Luo Jianye's death, the master of the palace accepted Meng Yangxing, who had been cheated by Tang Yue, as his disciple. At this time, she and Zhou Huaisu, the second senior sister of Zixiao Mansion, were standing in the courtyard.
Zhou Huaisu shouted: "Tang Yue, do you want to cause trouble by bringing so many people to my Zixiao Mansion?"
"No, senior sister, it's just that Zixiao Mansion has too many tax arrears, causing the city's financial It's difficult, so I came here to collect taxes. As you know, the city's expenses are insufficient, but I have to make up for it. Because there are a lot of spiritual stones involved, the brothers are afraid that something will go wrong on the way, so they have volunteered to guard these spiritual stones. "
"Collect taxes? I think you are here to rob!" This is the first time Meng Yangxing has met Tang Yue. He has finally been accepted as a direct disciple of Zixiao Mansion, and he doesn't want to go against Momentum. Sheng Tang Yue has been avoiding conflicts these days.
But this time she came to the door on her own initiative. As a disciple of the palace master, he had no choice but to come out and deal with it. He was so envious of Chen Jinbao who was visiting relatives. Maybe his family heard that Tang Yue was back and deliberately of.
“We have brought the account books, and please ask the government to also bring out the account books and reconcile them one by one with us. We at Qionghua Pavilion will not let people evade taxes, and we will never take more of your money. In addition, There is a loan from Zeng Qionghuage in your house, and it has been overdue for six months. Please pay the principal and interest and settle the debt to prevent the interest from growing."
Zhou Huaisu pointed his sword at her, "What do you have? The authority checks our accounts?"
Tang Yue immediately released his pressure. These people really don't take her as a Nascent Soul cultivator in their eyes. How dare they provoke her with just a foundation-building cultivation? Do they still think of her? Is he that poor little guy in the Qi refining stage who could only outwit him?
