Compared to Huang Sidao, He Xian is obviously better than Taoism.

The county master personally guided the work, and the chief clerk He was very careful and answered questions and questions.

Such a cooperative attitude naturally satisfies Ning Xiu.

Since Ning Xiu had already let Huang Sidao take charge of the tax work, he handed over the work of culture and education to He Xian.

He Xian responded timidly. Ning Xiu comforted him for a few words and then went to Cui Yan's place.

Cui Dianshi is an old man in Xiangshan County, and he is older than Huang Sidao and He Xian's qualifications.

People like him are the most likely to change their minds.

Ning Xiu came to Xiangshan County Qian Huang Sidao once specially contacted him once, meaning to form an alliance and cooperate.

Cui Yan agreed at that time. After all, Huang Sidao also had some tricks. The new county magistrate who was not familiar with Xiangshan County may not be able to fight against this old fox.

In just one or two days, Kenningxiu left a deep impression on Cui Yan.

In Cui Yan's opinion, although this person is young, he is very cunning and does things well and makes people not make mistakes.

Such people are extremely terrible.

Cui Yan also heard that the magistrate of Ning County was Qi Shaobao's son-in-law. Although he was not sure, he had some concerns.

Before Ning Xiu came to find him today, Cui Yan had actually turned to Ning Xiu.

After Ning Xiu arrived at Cui Yan's office, he exchanged greetings for a few words, then changed the subject and talked about work.

Dianshi is responsible for the public security lawsuit in a county, and there is nothing to say. Ning Xiu believes that Dianshi's work is not limited to this.

He felt it was necessary to set up a card in Xiangshan County to collect taxes, and the target of taxes was Macau merchants.

Macau and Xiangshan County are only separated by a Pearl River, which can be said to be adjacent.

Since the Folang Jiren rented Macau, there have been many merchants traveling between the two places. Ning Xiu once asked the transfer house and the clerk office that the county government had never collected taxes on these merchants because there has never been any precedent.

Ning Xiu naturally doesn't think so.

The tax policy of the Ming Dynasty itself was problematic. It was summed up in one sentence, that is, it only focuses on agricultural taxes but not commercial taxes. It was the commercial taxes of the Wanli Dynasty or the thirty-one taxes set by Zhu Yuanzhang of Taizu, and in many cases it could not be collected.

This is why Emperor Chongzhen only had two or three million taels of tax per year before collecting Liao gulf.

Macau has a unique geographical location, and there is also a European man who is good at operating, such as Folang Jiren, which has abundant business opportunities.

Ning Xiu felt it was necessary to make a try.

In fact, not all the taxes and silver collected by administrative agencies at the county level are paid to the state. Some of them will be intercepted for operation by the government office, which is equivalent to local tax.

Ning Xiu planned to use the part of the tax and silver levied on Macau merchants separately for this purpose.

Cui Dianshi's waterfall sweat.

Lord County Master really thinks that ordinary people dare not think about it. If you care about the taxes of the merchants of Folangji, I'll be good at it.

"County Master, you don't know that this Folang Ji Ren rented it here."

"This official naturally knows that, but I am levied commercial taxes in Xiangshan County, so what's wrong? Besides, the Folang Jiren is just renting it, so the sovereignty is still from the Ming Dynasty."

“Lord, sovereignty?”

Cui Dianshi widened his eyes and obviously did not understand what the word sovereignty meant.

"Simply put, it is the dominance of administration, finance, military, culture, etc.."

Ning Xiu paused and said, "You can set up a card to collect taxes. If you are dissatisfied, you can ask them to come to find me."

Okay, the county magistrate said everything to this point, so Cui Dianshi naturally couldn't say anything else, so he responded all over.

Ning Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the office with his hands on his back.

This Ning County Magistrate is indeed very unusual.

Zhao Guangning sighed in emotion.

According to several groups of merchants in a row, they were asked to pay taxes as soon as they entered Xiangshan County, and only by paying taxes could they pass.

Zhao Guangning is the largest comprador businessman in Macau. He has close ties with the Governor's Office of the Folangji. He often sells goods between Macau and Guangzhou Prefecture, and then transfers the goods in the south to the north for sale.

The profits here are huge.

He had long been used to such huge profits, and it was naturally uncomfortable to be pulled out by someone.

What's more, the tax collected by the magistrate of Ning County is not low, one in ten taxes!

Zhao Guangning narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about what to do.

Finally, he made up his mind to meet the young county magistrate in person.

From Macau to Xiangshan County, just crossing a Xiangjiang River, Zhao Guangning soon brought two servants to the front of Xiangshan County.

The yamen runners naturally recognized the comprador businessman who was very good at hand in Macau and immediately went to the Houya to report.

Soon the magistrate of Ning County conveyed the order and took Zhao Guangning to the Houya Flower Hall to see the tea.

Zhao Guangning followed the yamen runners all the way through the courtyard and came to the back yamen.

Before he could take a few sips of tea, Ning Xiu walked in.

Zhao Guangning quickly stood up and bowed to Ning Xiu.

"The villain Zhao Guangning paid a visit to the county master."

Ning Xiu waved his hand and signaled Zhao Guangning to sit down.

"Official Zhao, I heard that you are the largest businessman in Macau."

Ning Xiu did not greet him and asked straight to the point.

Zhao Guangning was extremely embarrassed, but Ning Xiu asked this and had to answer: "Sir, I'm sorry, the villain just went closer to the Governor's Office of Folangji to make some profits and make some money."

He seemed to be humble, but in fact he took this opportunity to show his strength to Ning Xiu - I am from the Governor General's Office of Folangji.

How could Ning Xiu not hear his implicit sound?

He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I heard that Mr. Zhao is making Nanyang goods?"

Zhao Guangning nodded.

"Guangdong is located at the southern end of the Ming Dynasty and has a unique geographical location. If you say that you are doing business in Southeast Asia, there is probably nothing more suitable than Guangdong and Fujian."

"It's a great profit to take one order?"

"Ahem, not much, not much."

Zhao Guangning looked like a businessman, afraid that Ning Xiu would ask him for filial piety.

"On behalf of the emperor, the emperor, the taxation matters should not be sarcastic. Therefore, this official set up a checkpoint in Xiangshan County to collect taxes on business dealers."

Zhao Guangning swallowed and thought to himself that he finally got to the point.

"Sir, villains are shallow in their knowledge, but it seems that the Ming Dynasty has never imposed commercial tax on Macau merchants."

Ning Xiu thought that this guy was really cunning. After the Folang Jiren rented Macau, he would give the court a sum of silver or rental fee every year. In addition, there was no other commercial tax. If you can, it does not mean that there will be no future.

It was not reasonable before, but now we have to go in a rational direction.

"Does Mr. Zhao have the word "官网官网?"

Ning Xiu suddenly changed his mind.

Zhao Guangning was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why the county master suddenly asked about his words.

"The word "Little Man" is Runtian."

"Runtian, it's so good."

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Do Runtian know who this land you and I have stepped on to belong to?"

"Of course, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty court, long live our emperor"

Zhao Guangning vaguely felt something was wrong
