Chapter 56 I'm Really Here To Get Prestige
When the table was thrown open, the mystery inside finally revealed. It turned out that there was a drawer under the table. The income from the storytelling every day would be poured into the hole on the table. The round hole could only enter the copper plate, and the hand could not reach into it. The drawer was locked. When it closed every night, Manager He and the accountant took the key together, opened the lock, counted the income for the day, and registered the book. Half of the dividends were given to the Wang family every month.
Bai's previous surprise inspections were conducted several times, but no problems were found, but the dividends and rent were less than five cents of money.
The secret is to add a partition to the drawer, so that seven or eight CDs of the money poured in were intercepted, and only 20 or 30% were taken out, and the money distributed to the Wang family was counted.
Thinking about it, even if it is an affordable noodle restaurant that is not profitable, it can still have more than ten cents a month, and five cents a month is just to use people as monkeys!
Wang Ning'an asked the little Russian to observe the visitor flow and income of the teahouse, so he guessed that there must be a ghost. When he came to drink tea, he pretended to pass by the front desk and pushed the table. He found that it was extremely heavy and thought that there might be an organ inside.
"Shopkeeper He, what's going on?"
Wang Ning'an asked with a dark face.
Manager He frowned and stared, frightened, but his eyes turned and suddenly lamented, "Erlang, since you saw it, I won't hide it. It's not easy to do business. The officials at the yamen came to check every day to see how much money the teahouse earns, and then handed over to the court. If I don't use some tricks, I can crush the teahouse to death by just a heavy tax. I am not against the outside and the inside. Everyone has heard of how powerful the servants and clerks in the government are." Manager He said aggrievedly, and looked at Wang Ning'an, lamenting, "Erlang, you are still young, and these things may not be clear. Should I let Lingzun come over? I'll tell him?"
The implication is that you are a little brat, I am too lazy to pay attention to you!
Many tea shopkeepers present were also moved by Manager He and they all spoke to him.
In their simple impression, officials and servants are always abominable and domineering and oppressing the people. It is not easy to do business, so it is also appropriate to use some tricks.
But Wang Ning'an knew that Manager He was simply bullying him for his young and ignorant!
Although the Song Dynasty was well-developed and the proportion of tax revenue to finance was the highest in ancient times, it did not prove that the business burden of the Song Dynasty was heavy. On the contrary, the commercial tax revenue in other dynasties was too low! It was so low that it was not collected that what should have been collected, so the Song Dynasty was highlighted.
"Shopkeeper He, Haifeng Restaurant paid 80,500 taxes last month, not a single point! The Wang family is innocent and operates honestly. His Majesty gave the imperial pen not long ago - a loyal and kind person for generations! The Wang family adhered to the lessons of their ancestors and was inspired by the saints. They dare not say that they are dedicated to serving the country, but they must have a clear conscience. It is everyone's duty to operate and pay taxes. Seeing that the servants collect taxes and take money from their hands, they are dissatisfied, but don't forget where the money is spent! As far as I know, 70% of the annual income of the imperial court is consumed on military expenses, and 20% are used on officials
The salary of the staff, the development of water conservancy, the relief of the victims, and 10% of them were consumed by the royal family and the royal family. Where is our Cangzhou? Hundreds of miles away are the Iron Cavalry of the Great Liao, the brutal barbarians and robbers! They always think about rushing their troops south to poison the Central Plains, and looting the people of our Song Dynasty! Everyone asks themselves, once the barbarians go south, who is the first to be robbed? It is us! It is the people on the border! If there is no military expenditure of the imperial court and no imperial guards protecting everyone, how can we do business with confidence and farm safely?"
Wang Ning'an took a deep breath, "The kindness of the king is as deep as the sea, and the loyalty of the minister is as heavy as the mountain! The people of our lives should be grateful, pay taxes, and protect ourselves! Can't even think of this joint? I think that since ancient times, I, the man in Yanzhao, is a place of martial arts, have many passionate men, and have strong generals who are chivalrous and brave, and are not afraid of life and death. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are still in the hands of barbarians. Our flesh and blood compatriots are isolated for a hundred years, and they hate each other and kill each other. The spirits of the ancestors of China will also be angry about the incompetence of their descendants! No matter where else, I, Cangzhou, will be the first to be the brunt of Goujian, who slept on firewood and tasted gall, and learn from the Great Chu where three households destroyed Qin. From top to bottom, the military and civilians are united, and they will fight against strong enemies. Everyone is proud of death on the battlefield. Everyone thinks that the court pays taxes and is loyal to His Majesty! You must not be greedy for small profits, and for your own selfishness, you should ignore the country's hatred and family hatred and ignore it!"
"It's an indecent and debauchery, and it's even more unsatisfactory! It's even more unsatisfactory to avoid responsibility! Manager He, from now on, our Wang family will take back the property. We don't want any money you have earned over the years. I will liquidate the taxes and pay them to the court. As for Xiangyun Teahouse, it will be closed for a month, and then reopened after reorganization. As for the inconvenience that will be given to everyone, I apologize to everyone first. Today's tea is free, please let everyone go, sorry."
After Wang Ning'an was passionate, he bowed deeply.
His words stunned everyone. In the second floor, a white-faced and beardless man actually walked out of it. He held the railing with his hands and stared at Wang Ning'an, nodding and admiring, with tears in his eyes, and muttering silently in his heart: "I am also a loyal young man, all the civil and military officials, and no one can say this. The king's kindness is as deep as the sea, and the minister's loyalty is as heavy as the mountain! What a good young man!"
...
Some people sigh, and some people are angry.
Manager He was furious and furious, "Wang Ning'an, we have a letter of agreement, and I also own 50% of the shares. Why do you make the decision by yourself?"
"Shopkeeper He, if you are not convinced, go to the yamen to sue and see what Lord Bao said!"
Wang Ningan pulled Manager He and was about to walk outside.
“No need.”
The crowd parted, Gongsun Ce came with Wang Chao Ma Han. His face was gloomy and walked to Wang Ning'an, snorted, and without saying much, he waved his hand.
"Take off Manager He and a scale of gold!"
It turns out that the storyteller woman is called "Yi Li Jin".
Wang Ning'an was still stunned. Gongsun Ce came closer, "Wang Erlang, what you said just now is so good!"
“It’s over-reward.”
"I'm praising you!" Gongsun Ce smiled angrily, "I'm reminding you that you dare to have the idea of the governor's office again, be careful that you are not polite to you!"
Briefly?
Did I mess with him?
Wang Ning'an was confused. At this time, Gongsun Ce had ordered all the teahouse staff to be arrested, and several women were taken out from behind, as well as two little boys of five or six years old... What happened? It turned out that the teahouse was full of religions and people from all walks of life gathered. Manager He was devoted to making money and was uneasy to sell tea to make money. He got a few women, talked about books and acted during the day, and entertained guests at night. To put it bluntly, he was a "secret door".
This is not a big deal. Those who trade women, those who abduct children, and those who dig graves all go to the teahouse to negotiate business. Every time they make a deal, they have to give some benefits to Manager He.
Bao Heizi checked the backlog of files over the years and found that there were many cases of losing children. He sent people to investigate carefully, and then found the head of Xiangyun Teahouse.
Originally, Gongsun Cehe reminded Bao Zheng that the teahouse had shares in the Wang family, should he remind the Wang family? Bao Zheng was always selfless and ignored it at all. If the Wang family was really involved, he would never be polite.
Gongsun Ce even had a little bit of bad taste, and wanted to see Wang Ning'an be in trouble.
But I knew that this kid was so slippery, and I didn’t know why he smelled the wind. He actually ran to the teahouse before them, and made a big fuss with Manager He, which completely drew a line. Especially the passionate performance was even more impeccable.
Gongsun Ce determined that Wang Ning'an was a cunning person and would not be as honest as he said. He must have received the news and came here deliberately, otherwise why would it be so coincidental!
After Wang Ning'an figured it out, he looked confused... It's so wronged! Young Master, I'm just here to perform loyalty and gain reputation. I really don't know something is going to happen in the teahouse!
