If you want to show your own importance, how can you not be active?
Ning Wuyang said vaguely: "You have to pay it sooner or later anyway. I paid the tax in advance to avoid wasting it."
It seems to make some sense?
Shen Youchu tilted her head and thought carefully for a moment. She didn't realize something was wrong until the carriage stopped in front of the government office.
"Mr. Ning, you usually focus on making money. Have you ever spent money lavishly?"
Others will have nothing to do and listen to music in Goulan Courtyard.
Mr. Ning only knows how to chase chickens and ducks all over the mountain with a knife and cook.
The biggest daily expenses are probably spent on seasonings and refined salt that is as good as gold.
Seeing that he had not been fooled, Ning Wuyan simply smiled and gave up.
"It's all in vain if you make money but don't spend it. No, I came to the government office to spend a lot of money."
Come to the government office to spend a lot of money?
Is Mr. Ning talking about paying taxes?
Shen Youchu tilted his head and thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out. He simply gave up thinking and got off the carriage with Ning Wushu.
Facing him, he saw Ning Weiguo, who had just got off his horse and came to the station.
Shen Youchu saluted, and Ning Weiguo quickly responded with fists in his arms. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hook Ning Wuyan's neck, pulled him in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Wuhou, do you still remember to come see me?"
"Second uncle, you are thinking too much. I am here to pay the quarterly tax... Ahem... Second uncle, please let go."
Ning Wuyao spent a lot of effort but failed to save his neck.
Turning his head and seeing the evil smile on his second uncle's face, he asked angrily: "Is something wrong, my second uncle?"
"Hey, I heard that you gave your second aunt a lot of money in cash?"
It's quite a few.
Ning Wuyi thought to himself: It seems that the second aunt didn't give the second uncle a single coin, and the second uncle was jealous.
When he thought that the second uncle was also an official, and had a lot of government offices that needed to be won over, he understood why the second uncle had the shamelessness to hint at him.
"Second uncle, where is your salary last month?"
Although the second aunt is diligent and thrifty, she will never treat the second uncle harshly.
You may not be given too much pocket money, but you won't be able to get a salary either.
When Ning Weiguo saw him mentioning this, he let go of his hand in embarrassment and scratched his head: "It's time for my salary today, but yesterday I borrowed ten taels of silver from someone else and spent it all on treating an old government servant under me."
No wonder.
Ning Wuyang thought that when Ning Weiguo became an official, his monthly salary was only ten taels of silver, but like Ning Feng, he spent all his money for others every month, and he couldn't help but sigh: He is really his biological father and son.
What else should I do if I meet such a second uncle?
Just pay.
After all, the cost of favors definitely accounts for the majority of daily expenses in a place like the government office.
Not only could this kind of money not be saved, but if one wanted to have subordinates like Xu Sanshui who would rather die than implicate Ye Tongpan, the money would have to be increased.
If some officials don't have money, they won't be able to work for a day.
"Yunfei, give your second uncle a hundred taels of silver notes."
After hearing the instructions, Yun Fei took out a wad of silver notes from his arms, found a one hundred tael silver note, and stuffed it into Ning Weiguo's hand.
Ning Weiguo took the hundred taels and looked at Yunfei with envy.
Yunfei quickly put the remaining banknotes into his arms, with an expression as if he was afraid of being robbed, which made Ning Weiguo extremely embarrassed.
"I'm not trying to steal your money. This one hundred taels is enough for me to spend for several months. I think you, Xiao Yunfei, can take care of Wu Wei's money now. You are really promising."
Ning Weiguo praised again.
I saw a government official coming and asked him to decide how to hunt down the criminal in a murder case.
Ning Weiguo stopped chatting and asked Ning Wuhuang to go back home for dinner when he was free. He got on his horse and went on a business trip happily.
"Uncle Ning has taken some miraculous medicine recently, and he looks much younger than before."
After Shen Youchu left, he couldn't help but mutter.
Could it be that the Ning family's Ping'an Medical Clinic has a secret recipe for rejuvenating people?
Ning Wuyan really didn't notice this.
However, it's not that he can't understand it.
"Second uncle, he has become a minister and has a place to use. He is like a fish in water. In the past, when he was asked to write documents, he couldn't even eat. He is not young, he is living a normal life."
My talents are destined to be useful.
It must be used in this way to promote prosperity and development.
Ning Wuyang said and walked towards the government office.
Just after getting off work, Su Rui was making a cup of tea and putting it on the table, preparing to continue the trial of the victim who had accused the Ye family yesterday.
When he saw Ning Wuxu walking into the door, he was startled: "Who provoked him again?"
Before anyone had time to answer, he saw that Ning Wuyan changed direction and did not go to the lobby. Instead, he went to the tax department where the treasury was located. He suddenly became energetic and asked his subordinates.
"It's July today?"
"Replying to the governor, today is the first day of July."
Then it is indeed time to pay your taxes.
However, the Ningjia Perfume Shop's sales volume exceeds 100 taels, and it has not been open for a few days in the past two months. It should be to pay the quarterly tax.
"This is the first time I've seen someone so active in paying taxes."
Su Rui sent his subordinates to take a look at today's case report.
Maybe it was the beginning of the month and there were no relevant cases in the morning.
Su Rui simply left the lobby and walked to the tax department of the government office.
There was only half a stick of incense between him and Ning Wuyan.
But when Su Rui arrived, there were already two account books and a stack of banknotes on the desk of the tax department.
The top one is a banknote with a face value of one thousand taels.
Su Rui was surprised when he saw that Ning Wuyan had spent so much money and asked, "Is Mr. Ning paying tax?"
In addition to the different tax payment time limits, Daxing Taxation also has different types of tax payments.
Depending on the nature of the business, the tax items are over-tax, door-to-door tax and sitting tax.
For example, goods in border areas are closely traded, and toll taxes are collected based on the quantity and assessed value at road checkpoints. Especially for goods arriving from abroad, the taxes are relatively high.
The gate tax is a tax collected at the city gate. When transporting goods from one city to another, the tax is collected according to the counted quantity. After paying the tax, you can enter the city to sell goods. Since goods are transferred between cities, they may not be sold out, so the tax is The fee is relatively low, but the transportation cost is high.
The tax is paid directly based on the store's revenue. The tax amount is 1/20, or 5%, which is the highest level of taxes.
However, after paying the sitting tax, the goods will not need to pay other taxes and fees when circulating in Daxing.
For example, the Ning Family Perfume Shop is the only perfume manufacturer appointed by His Majesty. Perfume is a hot commodity, and there are many famous people in the Ning Family.
Ning Wuhao could transfer the shop to someone else's name and use the perfume's strong circulation to avoid taxes.
He doesn't pay taxes and other people have to pay other taxes and fees to transport the perfume out of Jinling and sell it.
Even if you have to pay, a symbolic payment of several thousand taels per quarter, no one will say anything.
"Master Su."
Ning Wuyan turned around and bowed, then gestured with the account book.
"In addition to perfume, my family has recently added an ice-making workshop. Relying on the trust of colleagues and people in the business community, my two newly opened shops can prosper. I paid the tax first and saved money. Everyone’s trouble.”
After he paid the tax, the remaining merchants who cooperated with him did not have to pay another tax or spend energy to avoid taxes.
Naturally, we are more willing to cooperate with him at the same price.
Of course, the important reason why he took the initiative to pay taxes was not for the sake of others.
"Mr. Su, when others purchase goods from me, I don't know where to pay the tax, but I pay the tax to Jinling Mansion. Mr. Jiang can get an extra income when he comes back."
Ning Wuhao is not someone who does good deeds without leaving his name behind.
on the contrary.
He deliberately rushed to pay taxes first, just to attract Suri's attention.
"In addition to a perfume shop, there is also an ice-making workshop? Mr. Ning's industry span is really huge."
Suri knew that the perfume shop had another customer rushing to pre-order yesterday, so he was too busy to ask how many bottles were sold.
But he thought that after defeating Ye's perfume shop, he would sell no less than 10,000 bottles of perfume this time.
At this time, I heard that Ning Wuchang had opened a new shop, and I couldn't help but wonder how much tax the two shops had paid in total.
