Chapter 115 Agreed Tax Amount

"What do you think, sirs?" Yang You looked at Wei Wensheng and others and wanted to hear their opinions.

"It depends on His Highness Dian Wang!" Everyone looked at each other and said in unison.

Uh! Damn it!

Yang You suddenly let out a sigh of anger. Just now, they were all very careful and did not give up any benefits.

Now that the situation in Luoyang City has changed suddenly, Li Mi suddenly came out, and no matter how many excuses Daxing City has made, they are pale and powerless. These old foxes directly picked themselves clean again.

Yang You exclaimed the depression in his heart and relieved his mood. Things are really difficult to deal with now, so don’t increase taxes! It’s unreasonable, increase taxes, Daxing City has suffered a lot of losses.

After looking at the loyal minister of Daxing with his eyes flashing, Yang You lamented that now he could only make the decision.

After gently knocking on the table, Yang You attracted everyone's attention.

"The monthly tax quota in Daxing City was 350,000 jin. The tax quota was 180,000 jin. Now the tax revenue in Daxing City has increased. If it is indeed inappropriate to pay according to the previous tax revenue, taxation is inevitable."

"Your Highness the King of Dai is wise!" Wei Jinxi said.

The others were indifferent, only Yan Juncheng looked anxious and frequently signaled to Yang You. Yang You glared at him angrily.

"But..." Yang You continued, "If you pay more than half of it, Daxing City will pay up to six million taxes every year."

"Six million coins!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath. This was a huge sum of money.

In the 11th year of Daye, the Sui Dynasty was in good weather, but the taxes of the Sui Dynasty were only 35 million yuan this year.

Six million trump cards, that would be one-sixth of the tax of the empire.

When Wei Jin heard such a huge number, a hint of heat flashed in his eyes. If he could dominate the huge sum of six million more, how much benefit would it bring to him.

"If Daxingcheng pays 6 million trumpens a year, it means that Daxingcheng bears one-sixth of the country's taxes, which is unfair to Daxingcheng."

Yang You shook his head. He didn't want the fruits of his hard work to be occupied by his brother without any effort.

"His Highness Dai King is wise." Yan Juncheng said happily.

"Each counties pays half the tax, and Daxing City is no exception." Wei Jin insisted. He didn't want to give up such a big feast of wealth.

"Impossible." The five ministers in the hall glared at Wei Jin. Luoyang City was too greedy.

Yang You smiled slightly, ignored Wei Jin and looked at Yan Juncheng.

"Shilarious Minister Yan, now there are too many refugees in Daxing City and the supply of grain and cloth is insufficient. In order to attract more merchants to buy grain and cloth and ensure the lives of the people in Kanto, I am planning to reduce the two taxes related to the people. I wonder if the Ministry of Civil Affairs agrees."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Yang You in surprise.

Yan Juncheng was in charge of the Civil Affairs Department and was particularly sensitive to taxation. He turned a quick turn and quickly understood what Yang You meant.

"Reporting to His Highness the King of Dai, these are also the matters discussed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs recently. The tax on grain and cloth is the focus of Daxingcheng's taxes, with a monthly amount of about 200,000 yuan. However, in order to ensure that the people of Daxingcheng can make these people rich in food and clothing, the Ministry of Civil Affairs decided to exempt these taxes yesterday."

"You are just messing around. This is a tax evasion..." Wei Jin looked embarrassed. After deleting these two taxes, Daxingcheng only had 800,000 taxes, and only 400,000 yuan could be paid.

However, Wei Jin underestimated the ruthlessness of the officials in Daxing City and ignored his threats at all.

Yang You continued: "Not only grain and cloth, but Daxing City has no abundant resources, many items are in short supply, and these can also be reduced in taxes."

Gu Yi said with a look of movement: "Your Highness the King of Dai, now the brick roads in Daxingcheng are smooth and comfortable, and the carriages are very popular. A four-wheeled carriage usually requires two horses to pull. Daxingcheng is now in short supply of horses, and Weichen believes that taxes can be reduced and exempted from horse transactions."

"Horse trading is free of taxes!" Yang You waved his hand.

"If there are frequent turmoil today, there is a great demand for weapons and armor..." Qu Tutong expressed the military's demands.

“Iron Tax Refund.”

"Bow-horned beef tendon..."

“Tax subsidy!”

"Subsidy?" Wei Jin gusts back blood and surges upwards. You are too cruel! Not only will you not collect taxes, but you also have to pay for money.

The reductions, tax refunds, and subsidies were soon left with only 350,000 guan.

"If this continues! We only need to pay 200,000 guan next month." Yan Juncheng shook at Wei Jin, extremely proud.

"How much tax should Daxing City be paid?" Wei Jin whispered in a fury. He had to surrender and continue to do it, Daxing City would almost become a lower-class county.

Wei Jin also knew that these people would not really reduce the tax to 350,000 jin, but they would definitely drop it to the limit. What would it be if it were!

Seeing Wei Jin's words loose, Yang You and the ministers looked at each other and nodded.

"I will no longer pay the taxes before!" Yang You emphasized again.

Wei Jin's face has no expression, indicating that he has a default.

"The total tax amount of Daxingcheng before August was 350,000 jin. It reached 700,000 jin in September. If the total tax amount of Daxingcheng does not exceed 700,000 jin, half of the tax will be paid, and after more than 700,000 jin, it will be fixed at 350,000 jin." Yang You made the final decision.

"Daxing City will pay 300,000 guan for these 350,000 guan per month for the tax on Luoyang City. The remaining 50,000 guan is used to build brick roads between Daxing City and Luoyang City. The road construction matters will be carried out by the disaster relief department." Yang You oversaw the matter and directly planned the use of the 50,000 guan that had been transferred.

Wei Jin looked ugly, but he did not refute.

I paid more than 100,000 more yuan than before! This is a number accepted by both parties.

300,000 guan a month, and 3.6 million guan a year. The taxes in Everbright Xingcheng have exceeded the total of more than a dozen ordinary high-quality counties. This is the most tax paid by a county in all dynasties, and this is actually a result of a lot of shrinkage.

Wei Jin had no choice but to agree. Although the trip did not achieve the final goal, he received more than 100,000 yuan in taxes for Luoyang City every month, which was much stronger than the previous 200,000 yuan, and it was enough to go back and explain.

As for road construction, let’s build it. Besides, the brick road is really good. He has already fallen in love with brick roads all the way from Tongguan to Daxing City.

Wei Jin nodded in agreement.

The ministers of Daxing City also agreed with this plan, and they did not want to use the tax cut to fight both sides.

At this moment, Yang You suddenly said: "I have a proposal to pay taxes in Daxing City, and Secretary Wei may be interested."

"Please speak with Your Highness, Your Highness," Wei Jin said angrily.
