Chapter 1024: Are there many widows?

  Chapter 1024 Are there many widows?

   "It's good, but the things to declare are too detailed, the taxes are complicated, and I don't know how to collect taxes in Luoyang City?" He was worried that the taxes would be complicated and heavy, and it would all be for the officials to make money in the end.

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, and also wanted to hear their views on the current commercial tax, so he said: "I really want to take a look at the Shu brocade you brought, otherwise, how about we make an appointment at Shiweilou at noon tomorrow?"

  Guan Shi has never been to Luoyang, so he doesn’t know where the Shiweilou is, but he has heard of Zhenxiulou, which is the restaurant opened by Zhao Hu, and there are Zhenxiulou in Xiping and Chen County.

  So he asked, "Why don't you go to Zhenxiu Restaurant?"

  Because everyone knows her from the treasurer to the shopkeeper in Zhenxiu Building.

  Zhao Hanzhang opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The chicken soup in Shiweilou is very delicious. From the accent of the manager, it should be from Jiangyang. I heard that there is a famous dish in Jiangyang called white horse chicken soup."

  When the steward heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "The girl actually knows about Jiangyang? Yes, our white horse chicken soup is very famous, and my mother-in-law makes it very delicious."

  He promised Zhao Hanzhang to meet in Shiweilou, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely leave you the best Shu brocade."

  Satisfied, Zhao Hanzhang bid farewell and left.

  The closer you get to the gate of the city, the more soldiers are patrolling and guarding.

  There are peddlers selling soup with pots and cakes, and the soldiers will pass by sideways without obstructing them.

  Zhao Hanzhang stopped, and a young soldier with a round face followed the salesman involuntarily, swallowing his saliva.

  Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward and stood in front of him. The little soldier immediately came back to his senses and stood upright with his head upright, but his eyes could not help but glance at Zhao Hanzhang.

   After a while, he recognized Zhao Hanzhang, his eyes widened, and he was about to cup his fists to salute. Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand to stop him, moved to his side, looked around and asked in a low voice, "Did you have dinner?"

  The little soldier couldn't help but whispered, "No."

  Zhao Hanzhang: "Are you hungry?"

  The little soldier said without thinking, "Not hungry!"

  Zhao Hanzhang looked up at him.

  The little soldier said with some uncertainty: "Hungry?"

  Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help laughing, "I don't know if I'm hungry or not?"

  The little soldier blushed, lowered his head and dared not speak.

  Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight."

   "It doesn't take a lot of hard work to be able to serve the general."

The movement here quickly caught their attention, and he rushed over quickly, glanced at Xiaobing, and Zhao Hanzhang bent slightly, as if knowing that she didn't want to reveal her identity, so he lowered his voice and said: "General, County Lord Both the county magistrate and the county magistrate are waiting for you."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded, and said to him as he walked forward: "Let the barracks send another team to replace you. You go down to eat first. There are still grinders tonight. You can exchange them."

  Should be very long.

  Zhao Hanzhang stopped in the middle of the walk, turned his head to look up and down, and suddenly asked, "Are you married?"

  Shi Chang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I have a low status and no savings, how can I marry a wife?"

   "Do you want to marry a wife?"

  Shi Chang licked his lips and smiled silly at Zhao Hanzhang, "Of course I want to marry."

  Zhao Hanzhang: "Does the widow marry?"

  Shi Chang said without even thinking about it: "Marry!"

   "Where are the children?"

  Shi Chang was even happier, and said loudly: "Marry!"

  Everyone around looked over, the excitement in his heart faded instantly, and he asked Zhao Hanzhang anxiously, "Can they see me?"

  Zhao Hanzhang reached out and patted his shoulder, then turned and left.

  As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, nearby soldiers immediately surrounded him, "Is that the general? What are you talking about? Why not go? Where?"

   "Go, go, go, what I said was...it's nothing, it's just ahhhh..." Shi Chang passed vaguely, so he didn't want to tell others, what if he snatched it away?

   By the way, what the general said is to match him, right?

  But does the general know his name?

  Why didn't she ask what his name was?

   Don’t end up admitting to the wrong person.

   Shi Chang looked sad.

  Zhao Hanzhang has already found Zhao Erlang and Zhao Zheng, and the beginning is, "This group of soldiers has not eaten, so I will transfer a group to the army to change defense."

   asked again, "Have they eaten?"

  The question is the officials and students who are in charge of recording and checking.

  Zhao Erlang shook his head, then said: "Sister, I didn't eat either."

   "You are an idler now, just put a mouthful of dry food in your mouth." Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Zheng, "I guess it will be dawn tonight, so you can rest on the tower."

Zhao Zheng responded, and then said about the tax deduction of the receipt, "But this time they deducted it in Luoyang, and next time they will deduct it in other places. It is difficult to put together the accounts. The form is sandwiched in it, and the amount of tax deducted is written on it, and the amount of tax deducted in various places, will the treasury be replenished to the local area?"

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and said: "Just do as you said, make a book, record the amount of tax deducted each time, and stamp it with a seal. deduction."

   "But if he deducts in some small places, it may be detrimental to the local economy."

For example, in a small county, the annual tax income is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the income is basically kept in the local area for expenses, and there is basically no surplus for the court. If a caravan chooses such a small county to deduct, it can be exempted at once. Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, originally this would be an opportunity for the development of the small county, but because of deductions, the money went to their county in name, but it didn't.

   Even, their original tax revenue will be reduced. Under such circumstances, small counties will only become poorer and poorer, without opportunities for development.

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will make up a decree. The deduction is only allowed in some special counties. When you enter the register, you should also explain it to the merchant. If you can't remember it, let them write it down."

  Zhao Zheng: "Which cities does the general want to limit?"

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Xiping, Chen County, Luoyang, Chang'an, Linqiu... Now the government offices of Kyushu under the imperial court are all counties that can be deducted."

   Except for Chang'an, these places can achieve a surplus in size, and need to send a certain amount of taxes to the court every year, so there is a surplus that can be deducted.

  Zhao Zheng felt that this method was very good, so he wrote it down, "This matter is important, do you need a court discussion?"

  Zhao Hanzhang: "I can wait, but they can't wait. I decide this matter, so be it."

   Zhao Zheng should go down.

  Zhao Hanzhang was about to leave, when he thought of something, he turned around again, "Zhao Zheng, are you familiar with the registered population of Luoyang City?"

  Zhao Zheng nodded, "Yes." When Zhao Kuan was the county magistrate, they Taixue would often help transcribe the household registration and record the resettlement of refugees, so they were familiar with it naturally.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Are there many widows in the city?"
