331: Spring Plowing Sacrifice【Please vote】(1/2)
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 law is imperfect and there are many ways to exploit loopholes.
But their method is to repeatedly jump across the baseline.
If those in power are unhappy, they can be harassed at any time.
Looking back 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 various tax items currently are basically one is one, two is two, listed clearly in one column and one row, and you can pay taxes accordingly! Not to mention Xu Understand such traditional businessmen.
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 did this, he might be lucky enough to see it.
Shen Tang just laughed: "Why is he angry?"
Xu Jie fell silent.
Shen Jun actually had the nerve to ask Wu Xian why he was angry?
Then Shen Tang said shamelessly: "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 'distribution', the customer spends it The money was used to buy other goods, and I only spent one tael on wine. If I had to pay the wine tax, I also had to pay one tael. Did we evade tax? No, we paid the wine tax honestly."
"The blind box lottery is also the same." Shen Tang carefully broke the things into pieces, forced them into Xu Jie's little head, and frantically sold Amway to Xu Jie to brainwash him, "Are the customers paying for wine? No, buy it. It’s a lottery qualification, it’s a game! Wine is a prize for customers to play the game! Is there any current law that imposes taxes on free prizes?”
Xu Jie said with difficulty: "No..."
Shen Tang emotionally slapped his vest.
"No, 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, it is allowed! Since it is allowed, it can be done. of!"
Xu Jie's eyes became speechless - he suspected that Jun Shen had been replaced by a civet cat for the prince! How could these words come from the mouth of Jun Shen, who is sincere, enthusiastic, kind and kind?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"Annotations."
There was still a smile on Shen Tang's lips.
But the sound of "annotation" made his spine tingle slightly.
It felt like Wu Xian was being stabbed by several brothers, and he could not wait to hear the cold tone when he killed his limbs. It was also at that time that he saw the cruelty in Wu Xian! However, this feeling was fleeting, so fast It makes people think it is an illusion.
Shen Tang asked: "There must be one of them available, right?"
There is a bit of "coercion" in this statement.
Just like Wu Xian's previous "threat" to Shen Tang.
She forced Xu Jie to "reasonably avoid taxes"!
"Of course." Xu Jie felt uncomfortable under the pressure and reluctantly smiled, "Xu just learned today what it means to listen to your words is better than ten years of reading. I think Mr. Shen is quite talented in the businessman's way. If he concentrates on business, You will definitely be a millionaire in the future!"
Shen Tang said, "Merchant? That's not possible."
"Why? Doesn't Mr. Shen also like merchants?"
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. . Merchants have money but do not have the matching force to support them. They do not engage in production but have the ability to collect all the money. Sooner or later, they will become grain reserves in the eyes of jackals, tigers and leopards."
She patted the stiff-faced Xu Jie on the shoulder.
"It's better for others to have it than for me to have it!"
Why do you 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.
From afar, Gu Chi heard Shen Tang's voice as if he had eaten firecrackers. He was cursing, and eleven out of ten words were greeting Wu Xian and Xu Jie. Chu Yao, who was coming with him, stopped and looked at him in confusion. He said: "Why don't you go in to watch the tide?"
Gu Chi smiled bitterly.
He stretched out his head with a knife, and retracted his head with a knife. Just when 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 confusion 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 seedlings."
Chu Yao's Chinese translation: "It's just a little expensive?"
“Although the farm tools are not brand new, they are better because they are cheaper!”
Chu Yao smiled and said: "I guess they are old things that have been used in previous years. They are not unusable, but they probably won't last long."
Shen Tang became even angrier as he heard this and gritted his teeth: "The farm cattle are all old cattle who have served for many years and have rich experience!"
Chu Yao and Gu Chi looked at each other.
Gained a better understanding of the treachery of merchants.
"Is that an old cow that has passed its prime?"
Shen Tang slapped the low table and made a clanging sound.
"Listen! Do Wu Zhaode and Xu Wenzhu think our place is a garbage recycling station? A swill bucket for disposing of swill? They spent more than 2,300 taels on these wretched things, and we stole the change! We are bullying! It’s too much! It’s really too much to deceive others!”
Chu Yao and I could only persuade Shen Tang with your words.
They were mentally prepared for Wu Zhaode and his two men's shady operations - how could Wu Zhaode just watch his own 10,000 taels of silver flow into Shen Tang's hands? It was impossible without doing something.
My lord suffered a loss that he didn't 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, will Just write the character backwards!"
I feel like saying such harsh words is not enough.
"It's the puppy who can't do what he says he can do!"
Chu Yao: "..."
Gu Chi: "..."
In fact, they also admired Wu Xian and Xu Jie, they were actually able to push Shen Tang to this level!
Really amazing!
Shen Tang fanned himself with a hand made of a fan.
The brain calmed down and sanity returned.
"Is there something wrong with Wu Hui and Wang Chao Lai?"
The grass-roots team with "poor" and "007" as its corporate culture began to engage in crazy involution under the leadership of the boss Shen Tang. Shen Tang generally would not see these two unless there was something special.
Chu Yao: "Sacrifice for spring plowing."
"Spring Plowing Sacrifice?"
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, which is intended to bring good luck.
Chu Yao and the others were not very interested in this kind of activity, but they couldn't help ordinary people believe that without sacrifices, nothing would be missing.
If a famine occurs during this year, it will easily be blamed by the common people for "disrespecting the Spring God, which will make the Spring God angry" and other reasons, and it can easily be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. If the people's hearts are in turmoil, chaos will arise.
"If that's the case, then let's do it."
A formality would save trouble, 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 who serves as the community leader will read aloud an article written in advance to worship the spring god. He may also read or sing a poem related to farming.
Then burn the article and convey it to the spring god in heaven.
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 commissary then scatters grain seeds.
Others followed behind, handling farm tools.
A group of people enthusiastically showed off the farming scene in the fields. Afterwards, animals were sacrificed to the God of Spring, and the chief of society led everyone to burn incense and pray. After everything was over, the common people who participated in the event were able to get some of the meat from the sacrifices.
Even this "dividing livestock meat" is very particular.
Whose family is rich, who is poor, whose family has more fields, who has less fields, who has higher seniority, who has greater fame... The sizes and parts of the meat that can be divided are different. The small "meat sharing" is full of human feelings and sophistication. Woolen cloth……
