Chapter 185: Quota Hand-Torn Invoice
ps: Please subscribe for the second time today!
"Master Li, and everyone, to a certain extent, the invoice is a proof of tax payment." Having said this, Li Anran walked directly into the grain store and talked to the shopkeeper who had just completed a business.
After finishing the sentence, he took the small book just now and said, "This is the invoice. It can also be called a tax invoice to a certain extent."
"Proof of tax payment?" Although they understood the literal meaning, Li Shimin and other ministers still did not know the direct relationship between this so-called invoice and tax payment.
"Master Li, please elaborate on the use of this item." Li Shimin, who instinctively felt that this kind of invoice would be extremely useful to himself and the Tang Dynasty, said seriously.
After looking at the time, he realized that it was almost dinner time after the circle had just turned around. Li Anran threw the hand-shred fixed-amount invoice back to the shopkeeper, and immediately made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "
Mr. Li, let’s find a place to sit down and talk slowly, after all, this is not the place for conversation.”
Just after this round, Li Shimin and the ministers, who had already been salivated by the aroma permeating the snack street, naturally would not refuse such a good idea. Then they got on the electric cars parked on the side of the road.
The patrol car, led by two drivers, Li Anran and Zhao Er, turned a corner and headed in the other direction.
After a short while, the group of people got off the car at the entrance of Dewei Building.
"Deweilou, what a good word! What a name!" Li Shimin got off the electric patrol car and looked at the large horizontal plaque on the lintel of the three-story, rather large restaurant in front of him. He couldn't help but nod his head in praise.
: "This word was written by Master Li himself?"
"Young Master Li has good eyesight, please." Li Anran was still very proud of his calligraphy, which had improved a lot during this period. However, this was not the time to talk about this. After saying this, he took the lead and led everyone inside.
Walk.
After a short while, Li Shimin and a group of ministers arrived at the private room on the third floor. However, it was not the same room that Li Anran and the others were in before.
"What a masterpiece! What a view!" After entering the private room, Li Shimin subconsciously walked to the window and admired the beautiful scenery of the commercial street and the surrounding area through the transparent glass window. At the same time, he knocked on the transparent glass behind the window.
. couldn’t help but praise again.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary." Li Anran, who knew that the good move in the other party's words was referring to using extremely valuable glass as a window, did not answer the topic. After speaking with a smile, he picked up the intercom on the large round dining table.
After giving orders, the kitchen started serving food.
After receiving the news of Li Shimin's arrival, Li Anran booked the entire Dewei Restaurant. After hearing some rumors, the original customers wisely went to other restaurants to spend money.
With all the preparation, the dish will be served quickly.
Not long after the news of the food being served was transmitted through the intercom, a few smart waiters stood outside the door of the private room carrying huge trays. After being inspected by the internal guards guarding the outside, they walked in.
What was served first were cold cuts, sweet, savory, sweet and sour, hot and sour, sweet and salty, etc. Different flavors were served, and the most distinctive ones were served, making up nine dishes. And each dish
Not only is the presentation beautiful, but the portions are also generous.
Along with the cold dishes, there are also a wide variety of wines and beverages.
"Master, what kind of air conditioner do you use in this restaurant?" Li Shimin, who felt the heat after just staying there for a while, took off his thick coat and looked around under the waiter's service.
"Your Majesty, this place uses a fireplace instead of an air conditioner." As the owner, Li Anran had no intention of pouring wine for everyone on behalf of the waiter, but sat on the chair with a graceful attitude.
Because I was really not used to the kneeling style of the Tang Dynasty, not only Deweilou, but also all food-related shops used tables and benches that were passed down from later generations.
"Fireplace? Is it the kind of fireplace that the real person gave me originally that relies on fire to keep warm but is not poisoned by charcoal?" Li Shimin was stunned and said after not finding the weird mechanism that could blow warm air outside.
This fireplace is a good thing. In previous winters, there would always be some unlucky people who died of charcoal poisoning due to lighting charcoal fires for heating. But this winter, after everyone has built a fireplace, they no longer have to worry about charcoal poisoning.
.
As for the places where servants live, even though they are not qualified to build fireplaces, a coal stove with a long pipe can still prevent carbon poisoning. The only difference is that it is not as good as in heating
Big fireplaces are more powerful.
"That's right." Li Anran nodded and said.
"But why can't we see the fire?" Li Shimin looked around again and asked.
"The fire is below, and then the hot air will circulate through the flue in the wall. It will naturally warm over time, and there is no need to worry about smoke." Li Anran got up and walked to the wall and knocked on the wall, explaining.
Faced with such an answer, Li Shimin and the ministers looked at someone strangely. For a moment, they didn't know whether to say that this immortal from the upper world was not doing his job properly, or that the other person was too much.
It's good to pay attention to luxurious enjoyment. But no matter how you say it, this is not a bad thing.
While talking, the waiter from Deweilou began to bring out the dishes one after another. In addition to the stews that were made in advance because it took more time, there were also several seasonal stir-fried vegetables and some dishes placed at the center of the table.
The huge mandarin duck hot pot in the middle, and a variety of semi-processed meat and vegetable ingredients.
When it comes to hot pot, Li Shimin and the others are no strangers to it. This is one of the skills that the chef learned from Xiaoyao Villa. But the problem is, he has learned the skills, but he can't do anything about the dishes. After all, not everyone
Like someone who can ascend to the upper world at any time, he can bring back many fruits and vegetables to improve the monotonous winter diet.
After the last hot dish was served, not only all the waiters retreated downstairs to greet the guards who came one after another, almost filling the first and second floors. Even the waiters serving Li Shimin,
They were all sent away.
"Sir, after finishing this glass of wine, you can talk about the invoice." Li Shimin, who had just talked about other things because of the presence of irrelevant people, eagerly picked up the invoice after no one else disturbed him.
Wine glass, smiled.
"No problem, please!" Li Anran, who was not surprised that the other party was so impatient, immediately picked up his wine glass, signaled to the other party and the ministers, and drank it all in one gulp.
Although everyone who had been walking around for a long time was a little unbearable when they saw this table full of delicious dishes, but after what they just said, no one dared to mess around at this time.
Li Anran knew that if he didn't explain his words clearly, he wouldn't be able to enjoy this meal well. After putting down his wine glass, he smiled and started doing science work, and said: "I still said what you just saw.
An invoice is actually a tax payment certificate. This kind of certificate is purchased by merchants in the entire commercial street from the tax hall."
"Of course, this is just a trial run by me. Once the trial run is successful, the department that can issue tax payment certificates will naturally be nationalized. Therefore, regarding the question of whether this is legal or not, please ask your Majesty and ministers not to
I care too much." In order to avoid being maliciously slandered, Li Anran did not forget to get vaccinated first while popularizing science.
"It doesn't matter, I forgive you." Li Shimin, who has long been accustomed to someone's endless tricks, waved his hand and said.
After getting this promise, Li Anran took out the invoices that had just been sent to him, passed them out one by one, then opened the one in his hand and continued: "This kind of invoice, I call it a fixed quota hand-shredded invoice."
Invoices. As the name suggests, the denominations of these invoices are fixed. When you need to use them, you only need to tear them off and hand them to the customer."
"The value of each invoice is equal to the face value above. Taking these shops in the commercial street as an example, each one needs to purchase corresponding invoices according to the nature and scale of its business. To put it more simply, small businesses only need to purchase small denominations.
Invoices, and large transactions, especially those in brothels, require the purchase of invoices with large denominations, which means heavy taxes!"
Having said this, Li Anran poured himself another glass of wine to moisten his throat. As for the historical figures represented by Li Shimin, they were completely shocked by the meaning revealed in these words.
