Beast language level 10, all beasts obey her orders

"Not all people who do business can be registered as businessmen," Chen Li explained.

"The business register is only for outstanding business talents in each place."

To put it simply, small businessmen are not qualified, only big businessmen are qualified.

For example, the big manager behind Anping Restaurant also has two restaurants in the provincial capital, and his business registration was issued by the provincial capital.

Of the taxes he paid, 3% of the restaurant's operating income was paid to the government office, and 2% of the amount his subordinates paid to the customs office they passed through when they came to Anping County to buy pickles and oil skins.

There are grain stores, cloth shops, etc. in Anping County, and they all have big managers behind them.

Most of the owners of small shops in Anping County were not allowed to register as merchants and did not have to pay taxes.

If Tian Youyou were registered as a merchant, she would have to pay 3% of the profits from her sales to the county government.

If she buys goods from other places, she has to pay 2% tax when passing through the customs. If there is no customs along the way, she does not need to pay tax.

"Once you are registered as a merchant, you will not be restricted by your household registration when you travel around and do business."

"Once you become a merchant, you can seek protection from the government when you encounter problems."

"Once registered as a merchant, their children can be recommended by the government to study in other provinces and take the imperial examinations."

Three benefits...Tian Youyou pondered secretly in her heart.

She was planning to go to the provincial capital to promote Jerusalem artichokes and fried dough sticks, and she could travel freely thanks to her household registration in Anping County.

But if you want to go to other prefectures in the future, you will have to apply for a travel permit from the government.

It is much more convenient to have a business license.

If you encounter difficulties, you can seek shelter from the government... It's better than nothing if nothing happens. If something really happens, it can still be of great use.

Last but not least, children of businessmen can study in other places...

The educational resources in Anping County are definitely not as good as those in Dafu City. If Jiang Xiuxiu gives birth to a son, he will have to consider studying for the imperial examination in the future.

"You have registered as merchants and paid commercial taxes. I will of course protect you a little. As for today's matter..." Chen Li stopped here, and the implication was very obvious.

Pay taxes on time, for you, for me, for everyone;

Pay taxes honestly, pave roads, build bridges, and enjoy prosperity.

Tax evasion is shameful, while tax payment is honorable.

Tian Youyou is aware of paying taxes.

And the county magistrate has said so much...

"Master Chen, your idea is great." Tian Youyou exaggeratedly complimented him before nodding in agreement, "Since Master thinks so highly of us, we will join the Shang clan."

"We will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard to make our business bigger and stronger!"

Under Chen Li's surprised eyes, Tian Youyou felt embarrassed, "It's just..."

"Just what?!" At the critical moment, Chen Li became a little anxious. He leaned over to ask, his butt almost leaving the chair.

"To be honest, sir, I plan to go to the food market in the prefecture next month and let the restaurants and merchants in other prefectures know that we have these two things in Anping. By then, I will definitely be able to sign a lot of order contracts."

Chen Li nodded in approval, "You've got a good idea."

"When the time comes, we and Aunt Feng's family will definitely not be able to handle it alone."

“We plan to call on villagers to do it together.”

"Okay, okay." Chen Li thought it was very good.

The bigger the better. When the county's tax revenue increases, his assessment will definitely improve.

The key is that taxes have been raised, part of which is handed over and part of which is kept in the county government. The county government has more money, so he can do more, and he also has more money to support himself besides his salary...

In short, the bigger their business, the better.

"We will also help the villagers grow Jerusalem artichokes..."

This is even better, there is hope for farming!

"But the village chief of our village...can't stand us making money."

"This time, they teamed up with my father and stepmother's brothers to steal the land that my family had reclaimed..."

"We bring the villagers with us to earn money. First, we have no legitimate reason to do so. Second, we are afraid that he will...be jealous and do something bad."

When Chen Li heard this, he was shocked.

"Since your Muramasa has committed such a crime, I naturally cannot allow him to continue to be the Muramasa."

He looked at Tian Shounian. If he wanted to have a legitimate reason...

"Let your father be the Muramasa."

Tian Shounian looked up in shock!

But Muramasa was an official and could no longer be registered as a merchant.

"Your father is the village chief, and you are a merchant."

Anyway, the Tian family’s business was originally run by this little girl in front of him.

Tian Shounian raised his brows even higher. Is this the decision?

"Your Excellency has a good opinion. Well, Youyou will listen to your advice." Tian Youyou continued to flatter him, with a cunning look flashing in her eyes.

At this time, Xiao Yi came in and said, "Sir, the head of Xiaohegou Village is here."

The county government's runners harnessed a horse-drawn carriage to bring the people away, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly.

"Brother Tian, ​​let's go back to the lobby and I will seek justice for you."

During this trip to the study, Chen Li simply changed the address.

Back in the lobby, Chen Li didn't even ask any questions, but directly scolded, "Tian Han, you colluded with Tian Shoucun to rob the wasteland reclaimed by Tian Shounian. You ignored the facts and justice. Do you know your crime?"

Tian Han knelt down in the hall and cried out, "Sir, I am innocent. This piece of wasteland... Tian Shoucun had already agreed with me."

"It was Tian Shounian who learned about this and deliberately seized it..."

He had been feeling uneasy since the beginning of the morning, and when someone from the county government arrived, he became even more certain that something had changed.

Logically speaking, he had made arrangements yesterday, so today...the county magistrate should not accept the case.

He thought a lot along the way before he came up with this excuse.

"Since Tian Shoucun had already made an appointment with you, why didn't you come to the county government to register earlier?"

"Instead, you come after Tian Shounian has been clearing the wasteland for two months?"

Tian Han's forehead was covered with sweat. "Yes, the two brothers have always been at odds with each other, but I hope they can resolve the matter privately for the sake of being a family..."

"Yes! But Tian Shounian insisted on occupying it by force, so the subordinate officials decided for Tian Shoucun..."

"Humph." Chen Li snorted coldly, "I didn't know you were so eloquent. It seems that it is a waste of your talent to let you be a small village chief."

"The lower officials dare not, the lower officials dare not."

"Bring the witness to the stage." Chen Li was too lazy to say more to Tian Han. He was anxious to finalize Tian Youyou's business status.

The villagers who were waiting in the side room were finally summoned to the court.

They all testified that Tian Shounian reclaimed the land from morning till afternoon, which took two months.

In these two months, Tian Shoucun had never argued with Tian Shounian about the land. Instead, Tian Shoucun always made things difficult for Tian Shounian.

The villagers gave examples, including the case where Tian Shoucun used a man's prescription to extort money.

And Tian Han, in order to continue to be Muramasa, angered the villagers...

"Bold Tian Han! What else do you have to say?"

After listening to the villagers' words, Chen Li felt that Tian Shounian and Tian Youyou were still holding back in the study just now.

"Your humble servant...your humble servant..." Tian Han stammered and was unable to speak.

Tian Shoucun kept his head down, but he listened to what everyone said and considered it in his mind.

"Sir." He crawled forward two steps and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was Muramasa who approached me and asked me to support him to continue to be Muramasa. He will help me seize Tian Shounian's land."

"I thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect him to actually do it."

"Sir, I am a brother to Tian Shounian. How could I steal his land?"

"My Lord, please spare my life."

Tian Han stared in horror, "Tian Shoucun, you..."

He didn't expect Tian Shoucun to turn against him, "It's obviously you!"
