Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

The merchants agreed to pay the commercial tax so readily, and the condition that their children could take the imperial examination played at least [-]% of the effect.

Now Li Ke has promised everyone that as long as they pay commercial taxes, their children can take part in the imperial examination.

If the court disagrees by 033, wouldn't there be a big mess?

That would also deal a big blow to Li Ke's reputation and prestige!

"No problem, there is still a period of time for the imperial examination. After the business and tax data of the first three months are sent to Chang'an City, the imperial court will agree."

"Even if the imperial court disagrees, I will start separate courses in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and I will admit students based on their grades!"

Li Ke shook his head with a smile, saying that there is no problem.

Because no one knows better than him how huge the business tax will be!

And the more prosperous the business, the greater the sum.

In the face of such a huge number, the imperial court will bow its head without even thinking about it.

Even if the imperial court really won't bow their heads, it doesn't matter.

He also held exams directly in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

At that time, some subjects will be added, and the government will admit students according to their grades.

Anyway, the officials in Yangzhou and Suzhou are also officials. It is estimated that businessmen also regard it as a treasure, and no one will dislike it.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Several people nodded immediately, and their hearts were relieved a lot.

Indeed, as Li Ke said, as long as the actual amount of commercial tax is reported, can the court not be tempted?

Maybe the imperial court didn't know, but as the governors of Yangzhou and Suzhou, don't they know the business situation of these two places?

As long as the commercial tax is collected according to the ratio set by Li Ke, the monthly commercial tax will be a huge sum.

In the face of this figure, they also felt that the court would definitely agree.

Not only will he agree, but he will also implement this rule of paying business tax and participating in the imperial examination to all the prefectures and counties of the entire Datang!

After all, Yangzhou and Suzhou alone can collect so much business tax.

How much can the whole Tang Dynasty charge?

That would be an unimaginable sum.

Besides, Li Ke also said that even if the court disagrees, it is still possible for Yangzhou and Suzhou to hold small imperial examinations by themselves.

After all, the imperial examination system itself is based on the provincial and county examinations.

At that time, the departments in Yangzhou and Suzhou will just admit everyone's test scores.

It might have been a little troublesome before, but since Li Ke showed them Li Shimin's imperial edict, there was no problem at all.

In Yangzhou and Suzhou, Li Ke is heaven!

What Li Ke says is what he says, and any actions are legal and reasonable.

"Next, we need to do a good job in expanding the official school, recruiting gentlemen, and collecting business taxes."

Li Ke looked at the four of them.

He has already prepared the general direction, and the specific implementation of the follow-up depends on them.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Several people also nodded, and left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with great enthusiasm.

After all, Li Ke has paved the way for them, and they only need to follow Li Ke's plan.

And once a large number of scholars emerge in Yangzhou and Suzhou, as long as anyone has achieved good results in the imperial examination, they will also have a share of the credit.

Moreover, the more taxes Yangzhou and Suzhou collect, the greater their contribution.

It can be said that as long as they follow Li Ke and follow what Li Ke said, their future promotions are already certain.

After all, the political achievements have been delivered to them. If they can't grasp it, it's better to resign and go home to take care of them.

Next, Yangzhou and Suzhou became busy.

There are construction teams in government schools all over the country that are expanding, and they are still built with bricks, tiles and cement.

After Li Ke came to Yangzhou, he asked people to build a brick kiln, which could fire bricks in large quantities at low cost.

Bricks and cement are now used to build official houses, which can last longer and be safer.

At the same time, the government is also looking for scholars who have participated in the imperial examination but failed to get good grades, and hire them with high salaries as teachers.

Reading is a very expensive thing, so many scholars are actually quite struggling.

The teacher not only has a high social status, but also has such a high salary. There are many scholars who are willing to teach.

The printing workshop is also full of productivity, basically people are resting and machines are not resting, almost running 24 hours a day.

Every day, a new book is shipped from the printing workshop to various bookstores.

According to Li Ke's request, businessmen also came to the commercial bureaus in Yangzhou and Suzhou one after another to apply for business licenses, receive invoices and account books, etc. for free.

The business license is easy to apply, you only need to provide the identity certificate of the shopkeeper and the name of the shop.

As for invoices and ledgers, they are all free of charge.

Invoices are issued every time you do business.

The ledger has a uniform format, and each account must be recorded according to the format on the ledger, which is convenient for accounting.

After completing these procedures, everyone started normal business and trade.

On this day, shopkeeper Zhao from Xiangzhou was going to the seafood processing factory to buy a batch of canned food.

Xiangzhou is an inland area, and the sales of canned food in Xiangzhou are not bad. He plans to buy more this time.

"I want 2 cans."

Shopkeeper Zhao immediately said to the steward in charge of supplying the seafood processing factory.

"no problem."

The steward nodded immediately, and then arranged for people to transfer the goods.

While transferring the goods, the two parties also signed a purchase order.

Moreover, the steward issued an invoice to shopkeeper Zhao.

The invoice paper issued by the Commerce Bureau is very special. After writing on it with a brush, the lower one will also have handwriting.

Although the color is slightly darker, the words written on it can still be seen clearly.

The upper one was kept by the steward, and the lower one was handed over to shopkeeper Zhao.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, this invoice is ready, I will have to go to the Commerce Bureau to file tax returns to see it later."

The steward kindly reminded me.

"Thanks steward!"

Shopkeeper Zhao also carefully kept the invoice.

Subsequently, 2 cans were transferred from the seafood processing factory.

Shopkeeper Zhao and a treasurer from the processing factory went to the bank, and after the transfer of the goods was completed, the 2 cans were taken away by someone.

"It really saves a lot of time and energy compared to before."

Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but sigh after receiving the receipt for the transfer.

I was still sweating profusely counting copper coins at this moment before.

Now you only need to come to the bank, and the transaction is completed without spending half a stick of incense.

After the transaction was completed, he asked the accountant to record it in the ledger.

In Yangzhou and Suzhou, this situation is happening to every businessman.

Except for the first few days at the beginning, everyone is still a little uncomfortable.

For example, forgetting to issue invoices, forgetting to keep accounts, etc.

Every time I think about it, I have to ask someone to re-issue the invoice, and there is a lot of trouble.

However, as time goes by, everyone gradually gets used to invoicing and accounting.

Now every time a transaction is completed, it always feels like something is missing without an invoice.

Soon, a month passed.

This day happens to be the 6th of this month, which is the first day of the monthly business tax payment.

Although it was the first day, a large number of businessmen came to the door of the Commercial Bureau with their account books and invoices early in the morning to wait.

The reason why I came to the Commerce Bureau to pay taxes early in the morning on the 6th was also because I was afraid that I would not be able to pay the taxes within the five days from the 6th to the 10th.

Once they evade taxes, the punishment is unbearable for them.

It is better to be early than late.

Soon, the Commercial Bureau opened, and everyone started queuing up to handle business one by one.

"This is my account book and invoice for last month, the turnover is the profit"

Everyone took out the ledger and invoice, which were clearly written in a pen and order according to the format of the ledger.

The people in charge of taxation in the Commercial Bureau were all trained by Li Ke himself, and their professional ability is beyond doubt.

They took the account books and invoices, then picked up the abacus and began to calculate.

You don't need to do a single calculation, you just need to draw a few random accounts and do a little calculation, and you will probably know if there is any problem with the account.

If every account is carefully calculated, when will so many accounts be calculated.

"The sales tax you need to pay this month is income tax and the total tax amount"

Soon, the tax officer calculated the shopkeeper's last month's tax.

And the shopkeeper calculated it at home, which is exactly the same as the number calculated by the tax officer.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the Commerce Bureau was still following the rules.

Immediately, someone took him to the bank next door to transfer the money, and transferred it to the passbook of the Commerce Bureau.

Yes, the Commercial Bureau is directly next to the bank for the convenience of tax collection.

The transfer work was completed very quickly. Seeing that a sum of money was missing from the passbook in their hands, the shopkeepers felt no pity at all.

Instead, I finally felt relieved!

Because last month's tax was paid, which means that their status will be improved in the future!

Next, their children will also be able to take the imperial examination, and they can look forward to studying.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what are you doing next?"

A shopkeeper looked at shopkeeper Chen from Yangzhou.

"Buy silk, buy a carriage!"

Shopkeeper Chen had some anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

From now on, they can also wear silk and ride a carriage!

PS: Fourth more! .

Chapter 202 Let the government school close down?Qinghe Cui was stunned!

Qinghe Cui's people dare to come to see him?

While a murderous intent flashed across Li Ke's eyes, he also understood the reason why Cui Shi of Qinghe sent someone to see him.

It's nothing else, it's just that he planned to hit the snake to hit the seven inches, and he hit the seven inches of the five surnames Qiwang, so Qinghe Cui sent someone here.

"It seems that what I have done during this time has made Wu Xing Qiwang a little restless!"

The corner of Li Ke's mouth rose slightly, and he sneered.

During this period of time, he was selling books at a low price, building a new government school, and allowing a large number of students to enter the government school.
