The man was startled when he heard the official's words, and then hurriedly said, "I'm the young man who has just arrived, I really don't know that the government office still has to collect taxes. I really don't know that I have to pay taxes twice."

The official heard the man's words, stepped forward and kicked Zhi to the ground again, and asked jokingly, "Did you know this time?"

The man quickly got up again, nodded like pounding garlic, and said straight: "I know, I know, I don't know how much tax the government office will charge?"

The official saw this attitude and raised his head and looked around. It seemed that the following words were also said to others: "The amount of tax the government office collects will be collected by my prefecture."

There were two types of commercial taxation in the Song Dynasty. One was circulation tax, which means that many places had to collect taxes through the border, about fifty-one taxes, about two percent. The other was transaction tax. When entering the urban market, it was thirty-one taxes, about three percent.

Together, it seems that only 5% is the tax rate is extremely low. In fact, the circulation tax is a tax that needs to be paid repeatedly. As long as the state government is intercepted and collected by taxes, it will have to pay 50 taxes. In this way, it is normal to have a tax of several tens of percent. This is also one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty's court is prosperous.

Twenty taxes are naturally the commercial tax collected by the Jingliufu according to the regulations of the court, but they have to be collected twice, which naturally turns into ten taxes.

Zheng Zhi heard the words of the official officers and naturally knew that this was the problem caused by the overlap of powers. The Jingliufu and the prefecture government had many overlapping powers and responsibilities in civil affairs. This is also the reason why the general prefecture does not set up the Jingliufu. The Jingliufu will only be established in the border areas where wars are in order to maintain the political and military universities. In the war, many things will naturally be extreme, and the Jingliufu will have great power.

Zheng Zhi didn't think about these things too much, and he just thought that when he came to Cangzhou, everything was in Weizhou, but he didn't know that Cangzhou had no strategic commander for hundreds of years. Now that he had just arrived, many things would naturally go wrong.

The beaten little merchant was surrounded by several officials and was beaten again. There was no other way. He reached into his arms and touched it for a moment, took out a small wallet, poured out the broken silver, counted it a little, and looked bitter again, begging, "Can I let me go to the city and sell the goods before paying taxes? The silver and money in my hand are really not enough."

When the official heard this, he raised his eyebrows, his face was already angry, and he said, "There is not enough money? I can't pay taxes. It's outrageous. How can you get out of this dock?"

The more Zheng Zhi was angry, the more he heard, the reason why the commercial taxes entered the city were paid twice. The wharf was built by the Jingliu Mansion, and the goods that were mainly in and out of the Jingliu Mansion. The prefect's yamen suddenly reached out to stop him, so Zheng Zhi was not angry. In the final analysis, the prefect's yamen made money in the Jingliu Mansion's pocket, and it was also made money from Zheng Zhi's pocket.

"Can you use part of the goods to mortgage it? Wait until I enter the city and sell the goods before coming back to pay taxes?" Those who can go out to trade are naturally very active. Although they were beaten, they also know how to solve the problem.

When the official heard this, he was also very active. He looked at his subordinates around and suddenly laughed and said, "This method is very good. I will pay the goods. I will lend you the money first and pay the tax in the yamen. As for the interest on borrowing money, I will also have to negotiate."

The little merchant was so sad that he heard the words, but he didn't expect that the tax collector's method was so powerful. The interest matter would not be discussed. He was not up to him to decide. He naturally felt a lot of complaints in his heart. He came all the way north until Cangzhou to see such a thing as paying taxes twice.

Xiao Shang, who stood up, looked at the smiling face of the official, and felt frustrated without saying much, but he was also silently calculating his own cost and profit.

Zheng Zhi could not see anything. The prefect's office collects taxes and is already taking money in his own pocket. The police even put on loans in disguise.

Even Li Shishi couldn't see it and asked softly: "Official, how can Cangzhou pay commercial taxes twice? There is only one tax collection place at the gate of Bianjing."

Zheng Zhi looked at Li Shishi and always thought that most of Li Shishi were piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He didn't expect that Li Shishi would understand these things, so he smiled at Li Shishi. He turned around and said, "Niu Da, go and bring that merchant over, and said that I bought all his goods at this wharf."

Since this happened, Zheng Zhi naturally helped. As for the tax collection of the prefect of the prefect's office, it was not solved here. He originally thought that the prefect Wu knew how to advance and retreat, but now it seems that he still owes some damage.

Niu Dazi didn't say much, turned around and headed to the opposite side, approached the people, and asked loudly, "What goods did you transport?"

After hearing the question, the merchant looked around and knew that this sentence was asking himself, and he replied: "I took a big ship, transported some sulphur, and brought some brocades from Jiangnan."

The messenger saw Niu Da extremely, and went up to ask about the goods, but he was a little unhappy and spoke to Niu Da: "If you want to buy goods, wait until this guy pays the trade tax."

Niu Da glanced at the policeman, but did not answer, and said directly to the merchant: "My official wants to buy your goods and come with me."

When the merchant heard that someone wanted to buy his goods, he was overjoyed and did not think too much about it and walked forward.

But after just one step, he was blocked by the police. The police heard the police say, "You are so brave, you don't pay the tax, and you just want to sell goods."

The merchant hurriedly bowed and begged: "The young man is not leaving here. After selling the goods, he will pay the tax immediately."

The way to make money that the messenger had just thought of was to lend money, which was impossible at this moment. How could the merchant leave? He pretended to roll his sleeves and said, "It's outrageous. The court's laws and regulations were not allowed to do whatever you want. If you don't pay the tax, you will take all your goods to the yamen. In broad daylight, you still want to smuggle goods, but you don't know how powerful it is in the yamen."

This small merchant listened to the words and looked at the situation. He didn't dare to take a step with Niu Du. He just stood on the spot and looked around and looked a few times, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Niu Dana understood the meaning, reached out to pull the policeman off, stared at him and asked, "How much should you pay? I gave it to him."

When the merchant heard this, he felt as if he saw the light in the dark night, and he hurriedly bowed to thank him.

However, the businessman's words of thanks were not yet released, and the policeman who was pulled by Niu Da for a while was angry first. Niu Da's eyes widened and started to curse: "Where did you come from? You have to take care of my affairs, I'm afraid you'll be tired of living."

As soon as the words came out, the policeman's sleeves were rolled to the top, nodding to greet him, and five or six people on both sides also took a few steps towards Niu Da, which was a threatening situation.

When Niu Da heard this scolding, he became angry and shouted: "I will discipline you if you scold your elders like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, his fists rose, and there was no trace of hesitation. This bull stiletto was never afraid of fighting before he joined the army, let alone now when he was killing people.

With one punch, the leading official felt that the face was numb and spicy, and he fell back to the ground. He screamed too hard.
