    ?

    Guazhou City in January is still cold.  But today's Guazhou City, the city has been rebuilt, it is no longer the same as it was blown up before, and Guazhou City has also recovered a bit of prosperity.

    After Du Qi captured Guazhou City, in a short period of time, the soldiers under his command had devoured all parts of Guazhou and seized the entire territory of Guazhou.  After Guazhou came under Du Qi's rule, everything quickly adjusted.  However, although Du Qi had captured Guazhou City, he did not continue to attack Datang Shazhou, Suzhou and other places quickly, but suspended his troops.

    On the one hand, it is necessary to continue to adjust Guazhou, and on the other hand, it is waiting for news from Tianzhu.  The most important thing is that Li Jing's family is still in Datang for the time being, and they haven't been sent to Guazhou yet, so they have to wait.

    On this day, the army in the barracks where Du Qi was fighting was fighting, and he was writing and still writing.

    Now Du Qi lives in the army.

    After all, it is convenient in the military.

    Although Du Qi is now in Guazhou, he is not very busy except for writing books. After all, there are not many government affairs.  Even if there are government affairs, the most important government affairs are related to the governance of Guazhou, and a small amount is related to the rear.

    Today's governor of Guazhou is Pei Changqing.

    It was transferred directly from Rouyuan County.

    Although Pei Changqing is young, he is very good at handling government affairs, and Pei Changqing is also capable.  If Pei Changqing hadn't found out the details of all the Tang agents in Rouyuan County back then, they wouldn't have been able to eliminate them easily.

    With Pei Changqing, Du Qi is more relaxed.

    When Du Qi was busy, a soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, there are many businessmen outside the camp asking to see you."

    Du Qi ordered: "Please come in."

    "yes!"

    Soldiers have to make arrangements immediately.

    Not long after, about 30 people entered the camp together and saluted Du Qi together.  When they saw Du Qi one by one, they looked excited. After all, they were all businessmen from the Xia Kingdom. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Du Qi.

    Du Qi nodded and said: "You guys come to see me together, what's the matter?"

    One of the slightly obese people stood up and bowed to Du Qi again.  He was in his early forties, with gray temples, but he was dressed luxuriously.

    The middle-aged man bowed again to salute Du Qi, and said, "Your Majesty, the grassroots name is Zhou Yuyu."

    Du Qi nodded.

    Wait for Zhou Yuyu to continue.

    Zhou Zhiyu continued: "This time we came to see His Majesty together. The matter is very simple. It is for the issue of paying taxes after doing business. Before that, Guazhou belonged to Datang, and Datang and Xiaguo signed an agreement.  Doing business is exempt from taxes, and no taxes will be levied. But now, Guazhou has already belonged to the Xia Kingdom. Under this circumstance, do businessmen from the Xia Kingdom such as me still enjoy the preferential treatment of tax exemption when doing business in Guazhou?"

    At this moment, everyone looked at Du Qi in unison.

    There is hope in the eyes.

    For businessmen, the tax exemption alone is not a small sum.  The larger the businessman's property, the greater the savings.  And some small businessmen, the tax reduction is not much.  But for small businessmen, the business volume is not large, and although the tax reduction or exemption is not much, it has a great impact on small businessmen.

    After Du Qi heard it, his expression was calm.

    Regarding the issue of taxation, after Du Qi captured Guazhou, he had already discussed with Shangguanyi and others.  It's just that no decree was officially promulgated at that time, after all, the entire territory of Guazhou was not captured at that time.

    At present, it is only a short time since the entire territory of Guazhou was captured, and everything is still being adjusted.  Unexpectedly, as soon as the adjustment was made, a group of businessmen came together to inquire.

    Du Qi looked around at the crowd and said: "Guazhou belongs to the Xia Kingdom, so everything in Guazhou must be arranged according to the laws of the Xia Kingdom. Businessmen in the Xia Kingdom should pay taxes if they should."

    As soon as this remark came out, every businessman's face was filled with disappointment, because there was no tax discount.

    Cannot be exempted.

    Even some businessmen have an idea in their hearts.  Rather than the current situation, it is better for Guazhou to continue to be in the hands of Datang, and they can get more benefits.

    However, just think about it, because it is impossible for Xia Guo not to enter the army.

    Regardless of the businessman's thoughts, Du Qi continued: "Since Guazhou has just returned to China, I have decided that within three months from today, businessmen who originally did business in Guazhou will not pay taxes according to the previous practice. After three months, they will pay taxes normally  Taxation, no matter whether it is a merchant of Tang Dynasty or a merchant of Xia Kingdom, it is treated equally."

    "Your Majesty is holy!"

    Zhou Yu and other businessmenHearing this, he immediately smiled.

    In any case, there are still three months left, and tax exemption can be granted for these three months.

    Du Qi glanced at all the businessmen present. The reason why he negotiated with Shangguanyi and others to exempt them from taxes for three months was actually to stabilize these people.  At the same time, it was also to buy time for Pei Changqing.

    As long as Pei Changqing has a firm foothold in Guazhou, if these businessmen make waves next, they will be taken directly.

    Du Qidao: "Is there anything else for you?"

    Zhou Zhiyu took the initiative and said, "Not anymore."

    The rest of the people also shook their heads.

    They came to see Du Qi, just for business and tax matters.  Now that Du Qi has given an answer, and is willing to give another three months of tax exemption, everyone is relieved.

    Du Qi continued: "Since you have nothing to say, let me talk about it now. In my country of Xia, the status of merchants is quite loose. On the one hand, it is because the country of Xia is not as contemptuous as the Tang Dynasty.  Merchants; on the other hand, it is the business of the Xia Kingdom that has brought great help to the rise of the Xia Kingdom."

    "That's why the status of merchants in the Xia Kingdom is no worse than that of scholars."

    "But I want to say one thing, that is, you are used to everything in Guazhou now, and you must not take it for granted. After three months, those who should pay taxes will pay taxes according to law."

    "If there is any violation of law and discipline, the law will not show mercy."

    Du Qi said: "I hope that you can still hold your heads up high and be a businessman, and be able to do business in an upright manner. It is not that the reputation of a businessman will be tarnished because of your tax evasion and so on. I don't want this to happen."

    Zhou Zhiyu said: "Your Majesty's earnest instruction, I will keep it in mind. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we are merchants of the Xia Kingdom. Although we cannot expand the territory for the Xia Kingdom, we can do our best to do our own things well.  .¡±

    The rest of the people spoke one after another.

    All of them had an expression of duty.  Although they are businessmen, gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way. They make money within the scope of the law, and there has never been any tax evasion.

    The most important thing is that Du Qi said one of the most important things, that is, the status of merchants in Xia Kingdom is quite detached.  Because the merchant has contributed to Xia, the merchant has the status he has today.  If the status of the businessman is affected and the businessman is despised because of one or two people, then the loss outweighs the gain.

    Du Qi nodded and said: "Just wait until you understand, well, go to your own business. Do things well, and do things in a down-to-earth manner."

    Everyone agreed, took their leave and left.

    After these businessmen left, Du Qi directly notified Pei Changqing of the businessmen's tax exemption, and asked Pei Changqing to exempt from tax for another three months according to the current arrangement, and then began to collect taxes in three months.

    After the matter was notified, Du Qi continued to write the book.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
