The Reborn Wife is Farming

The unearthed pearls were carried back to the palace, and separated according to the upper, middle and lower grades. Fan Zijin looked at the few top-grade large pearls in Xiaomutong and was very satisfied. He said to several children, "How about selling these pearls to me?"

Little Xiong agreed without even thinking about it, Xiao An hurriedly pulled his sleeve secretly, and Little Xiong immediately shut his mouth tightly.

Fan Zijin noticed his son's little move, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, Xiao An raised his head as if there was no such thing and said, "Daddy, we need to keep some as a signboard."

Fan Zijin said calmly: "If you sell it to me, you can also make a signboard. At the worst, I'll let someone hold the beads and walk around the city of Guangzhou with great fanfare to promote it for you."

"Then let's choose some to be the treasure of the town store, and sell the rest to you, shall we?"

Fan Zijin looked at his son firmly, and asked, "Are you still going to open a shop?"

Xiao An coughed lightly, nodded and said: "Open a store that specializes in selling pearls. You can't just sell mussels after opening them on the beach. That's too cheap. Put the polished pearls in the store. Buying alone or wholesale, the price can go up a lot.”

"Then the pearls are sold out, so the store is empty?"

The breeding period of the sea farm is about three years, that is to say, pearls only come once every three years. In the year when the mussels are opened, they can be sold. What about the remaining two years?

Fan Zijin felt that the child was still too tender.

Xiaoan said proudly: "We just agreed that we will contract three more sea sites, and try the cycle of two years, three years, four years and five years, so that we can do experiments and extend the development period After two years of separation, there will be sea mussels to open every year."

Fan Zijin opened his mouth, then closed it, and asked after a while, "Have you considered the cost?"

Xiao Xiong waved his hand very grandly, "Don't worry, Er Uncle, the cost is not too much."

Hutou shouted richly: "We are not short of money now."

Even the thrifty little bears nodded with a smile. They are not short of money now, they can spend and use whatever they want.

Fan Zijin was choked, and Qi Haoran said to him: "You just choose the best ones, why do you have to wrap them round, you have to let them have something to spread their reputation."

Fan Zijin: "I want to open a silver house."

Qi Haoran said to him earnestly: "Zijin, you are not short of money now, you should focus on state affairs, how can you always think about business matters? Now salt, iron, wood, silk, tea, porcelain, restaurants and teahouses Grocery store, which one are you not involved in? Now you still want to open a silver house, will you open a bank the next day?"

"Hey, you're right." Fan Zijin cast a glance at him and said, "Master really plans to open a bank."

Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, and said for a moment: "Welcome to contribute to Daqi's national treasury. Big brother is resetting the business tax. No matter whose post you use, you have to pay tax. With so many properties under your name, you have to pay a lot of taxes Bar."

Fan Zijin also felt heartbroken. Since he started his business, he really hasn't paid any taxes.

Daqi is the same as Dazhou. Officials are not allowed to operate business. However, these are just legal regulations. Who obeys them?

It's like the land property under the name of a Juren can be exempted from taxation. Once the exam is passed, most people will go to the Juren with the land deed to record the land in the other party's name in order to evade taxes, and give some offerings to the Juren every year, which is counted as a transaction between the two parties.

The same is true for business. Most officials record their family business in the name of their servants, and then take their name cards to the yamen for filing. Every year, the tax yamen bypasses these shops.

However, those with titles are not included in this prohibition, so Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin's business is under his own name, but before Daqi, Fan Zijin used Qi Xiuyuan's famous post to do business, so he said he never paid taxes.

After Qi Xiuyuan came to power, he first abolished the ordinance on tax exemption for Juren and above, making it clear that one person can only be exempted from a fixed number of acres of land, and even officials who enter the court as officials have a limited number of land taxes that can be exempted for each rank, although the higher the rank, the more exempted they are. Much, but still far worse than the previous full exemption.

First-rank officials can only exempt 500 mu of land, and all land beyond 500 mu must pay taxes.

Qi Haoran is a super-grade title, but there is only an exemption standard of 800 mu, and he has been paying taxes honestly these years.

It can be said that the emperor's move has increased a lot of food taxes for the treasury. After all, most of the land is in the hands of these officials.

And now, the emperor is going to start with the private business of the officials again.

Although Fan Zijin felt distressed, he had to accept it. If he sang against it, it would be even more impossible for this decree to be implemented.

At this time, there were indeed many people in the DPRK who hoped that Fan Zijin would jump out to oppose it, and some even directly challenged Fan Zijin's stewards to directly resist the tax.

Fortunately, the person who was selected by Fan Zijin to be in charge was not stupid, and there was no trouble at this time.

Qi Xiuyuan's methods are as tough as ever. First, he ordered that slaves who do business and buy land will be taxed by 20% more. He also issued an edict that all officials who condone tax evasion in the shops under their jurisdiction will be punished for the crime of greed. Beheading directly cut off the way for those officials not to pay taxes from the root.

Whoever is an official doesn't have a few shops?

Everyone just thought that the emperor was so ruthless, so someone aimed at King Rong's shop, thinking that he should find a way to make King Rong and the emperor quarrel.

The emperor loves King Rong so much, let's see how he will collect this tax at that time, under the influence of others, this matter can only be broken.

Therefore, when Qi Haoran felt sorry for Fan Zijin's silver, some officials came to his shop and demanded to pay taxes.

The matter was reported to Qi Haoran first, his face was distorted for a while, and he slapped the thing on the table with hatred, "Use me as a raft, it's easy to bully me, right?"

As long as the decree is implemented, he will not refuse to pay taxes even if he is cheering for his elder brother. But now that the decree has just been issued and the Ministry of Household Affairs has not yet started to act, someone has come to him.

Qi Haoran knew that they were sowing dissension, and the purpose was to make him and his eldest brother quarrel. He knew that he could not please them, but if he did, he couldn't bear it. If he didn't pay, it would ruin his eldest brother's plan and hold Qi Haoran back. Qu got a mouthful of blood.

Qi Haoran sat in the yamen with a livid face for a long time, then took a deep breath, and said to Fei Bai: "Let Zhu Liang prepare the money, we will pay as much as the taxes that should be paid."

The second person to know the news was Fan Zijin. Because Mu Yangling was pregnant, Qi Haoran directly ordered Zhu Liang not to tire Mu Yangling with outside affairs, whether it was business matters or farm affairs. Therefore, Qi Haoran was the first to receive the news, and most of the managers in Mu Yangling's shop came from Fan Zijin, so he was the second to know.

His reaction was completely different from Qi Haoran's. He sneered and said mockingly, "I'll just watch them shoot their own feet with stones."
