Chapter six hundred and fourth such a tax officer
Under Huang Sanyuan's statement, Chen Kang expressed his intention and handed over the drawings he had always brought with him to Mr. Fu to see.
Mr. Fu looked at him and was stunned at first, then asked, "What's the name?"
Chen Kang smiled and said, "Sign up the direction."
Mr. Fu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Isn't this thing come from the incense sachet of that girl's house?"
Chen Kanggong bowed his hand, but felt a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Xiaosheng is ashamed."
Mr. Fu smiled and said, "Young Master, can you name this thing?"
Chen Kang said: "Three-axis gyroscope." Well, this is very straight.
After paying a deposit of three taels of silver, he agreed to pick up the things ten days later, and left Xihouluo Lane.
Another big thing was done. Chen Kang was in a very good mood. He gave Huang Sanyuan a half-day holiday and took Wei Wubai and Liu Shu to wander around the street.
When we walked to the near Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, we were adjacent to the main street and the yamen, and it was extremely majestic. Chen Kang walked closer and looked up, as if he had passed by a tourist attraction, so he planned to leave.
At this moment, a team of extraordinary chariots were walking towards this side. Passers-by gave in and avoided them. Chen Kang looked at him from a distance and asked, "Is this the sedan of the tax supervisor I saw in the teahouse that day?"
Liu Shu took a look, hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, young master, the same sedan chair."
Chen Kang smiled and said, "It's so majestic."
At this time, a ball of rotten vegetable leaves flew in the crowd. They saw it drifting through a perfect parabola in the air, and then with a "bang", he shouted steadily at the top of the sedan chair.
Yijia became panicked for a moment and stopped the sedan chair. The yamen guards stepped forward and surrounded the sedan chairs.
The curtain of the sedan chair swayed slightly, and a hand with a slightly yellow complexion of skin and a calloused hand in the palm of the palm of the palm was lifted open the curtain, and a heroic eunuch walked out of the sedan chair.
This man is six feet and five inches tall and strong. If he hadn't had hairless cheeks and was sitting in this sedan chair, no one could tell that he was actually a eunuch.
The man walked out of the sedan chair, first glanced at the rotten vegetable leaves on the top of the sedan chair with the corner of his eyes, then smiled silently, and turned to the trembling crowd with sharp eyes.
As soon as he glanced at him, the people in the crowd were even more afraid to look up at him, and they all tightened their necks.
He saw Chen Kang, raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled kindly, and then turned his eyes to look at the crowd again.
Chen Kang was puzzled by his smile and only lowered his head halfway, wanting to see what this eunuch would do.
He coughed and then slowly said, "Sun Hongchu came to Suzhou. Although he didn't understand the customs and cultures very well, this etiquette was not welcome. We know in our hearts that you don't hate Sun, but you have misunderstandings about the position of tax supervisor. However, we have to stay in Suzhou City for a while, so you can understand it slowly."
He pointed to the vegetable leaf, smiled again, and said, "Our family will not be in a sedan chair, so let's walk to the weaving and dyeing bureau like this. The hero who threw things on top of our heads, hum."
The words of this are all about eliminating and fighting, which means that the people who make trouble are not taken seriously. This inattention is the complete contempt of the superiors towards the people below.
Sun Hong just walked by the crowd with his hands behind his back, and he didn't need the protective posture of these people at all. He was generous, just like a spring outing.
After he passed, the crowd gradually became active again.
Chen Kang unconsciously let out a long breath. After he let out this breath, he realized that he was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe in front of that person?
Chen Kang deeply despised himself, and then smiled relievedly. This is called Guan Wei.
Just as Chen Kang and others were about to leave the weaving and dyeing bureau, a yamen ran out of it.
The yamen stood on the steps of the yamen and shouted loudly: "From today, in addition to taxing, Suzhou Prefecture looms will be distributed with three cents of silver per machine and three cents of silver per piece of silk fabric."
Chen Kang was slightly stunned, only hearing the complaints of the people around him.
"This is not going to make people live!"
"It's really a hungry tiger going down the mountain, and even the sparrows have to peel them!"
"The belly button is fart! How did this tax stick come up with!"
“…”
“…”
It was not until this time that Chen Kang understood why no matter who he heard about the tax supervisor or saw the tax supervisor, he showed either disgust or fear.
It turns out that Sun Hong's duties are not only supervising tax collection, but also increasing taxes? No wonder he is not popular.
He sighed lightly, there must be a problem with the court's finances, otherwise he would not have easily increased taxes. If this tax matter is added, the final result will be the shutdown of the machine owner.
After the machine owners shut down, those shop owners have no silk to sell. How can the shop be maintained?
When the store owner closes, it will cause a large number of dissatisfaction among the middle-class people in society. When these dissatisfactions accumulate to a certain level... at the least, they will resist taxes, and at the worst, they will intensify and strike.
Such a series of reactions is a result direction that people who have studied economics can easily associate.
Chen Kang said softly: "Suzhou, it's going to be in chaos."
Liu Shu looked at Chen Kang for no reason and asked, "Why did the young master say this? Just increase taxes. Suzhou Prefecture is a land of fish and rice. As long as the people eat enough, they will not be in chaos."
Chen Kang asked with a smile: "If Wei Wubai could get two cents of monthly silver every month from work, but suddenly one day, I would tell him, Liu Shu wants to take one cent, what would he think?"
Chen Kang paused and then said, "It doesn't matter what he thinks. More importantly, he used to spending two cents of silver every month. He was used to it and could drink a good wine every day. From then on, he could only eat with money and not drink alcohol. Would he be happy?"
Liu Shu turned his eyes to Wei Wubai and asked, "Will you be happy?"
Wei Wubai glared at him and asked, "Why give you my moon silver?"
Liu Shu shrugged, smiled, looked at Chen Kang, and bowed, "The villain understands."
Chen Kang sighed and said, "If one Wei Wubai is so unhappy, what about millions of Wei Wubai? Suzhou Prefecture..."
Liu Shu said: "If people's hearts are unstable, they will inevitably cause trouble."
Taxation has not been a trivial matter since ancient times. Every tax reform requires careful thinking and gradual changes to allow the people to gradually accept it. Chen Kang really wanted to ask Sun Hong in person for such a arrogant reform, who came up with this bad idea?
After all, Chen Kang had no official title, and had no position. He could only shake his head and leave the weaving and dyeing bureau.
At this time, in the weaving and dyeing bureau, Sun Hong slowly poured himself a cup of tea, let out a long sigh, and said lazily: "Write a letter to Wu Junyu and say that this method is very good. Our family will visit Changzhou County Government soon."
