Chapter 136
"Miss, are we really not leaving Jizhou?"
Zhongshan, in Wuji Zhen's mansion, the butler looked at Zhen Jiang and asked with some concern.
Wuji Zhen clan, the head of the family is Zhen Yi, but Zhen Yi died too early, and Zhen Yi's eldest son Zhen Yu died early.
The second son, Zhen Lian, once raised filial piety, and served as the commander of Qu Liang.
But his body and bones have always been bad, and now he is bedridden and completely unable to handle the affairs of the Zhen family.
The third son, Zhen Yao, is young, not yet ten years old, and has no way to deal with family affairs.
Zhen Yi's wife, Nai Changshan Zhang, died long before Zhen Yi died.
In the end, the huge Zhen family could only be left by Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, to throw her head and take charge of the family's affairs.
"Don't go."
Zhen Jiang shook his head and said with a serious face: "The Zhen family's "Four Five Zeros" have developed in Jizhou for so many years, once they leave Jizhou, the Zhen family will inevitably become a third-rate merchant family. "
The Zhen family, as a family of merchants, is inferior to those families.
What's more, even those family families, once they leave their county and go to other places to develop, they will become second-class families.
Even, a bad one may be directly knocked into dust, from a wealthy family to a cold family.
"But Miss, now under the command of Liu Yu, the king of Yan, and Youzhou in Hezhou, are at war to reform the household registration system, and it will be Jizhou's turn next.
Many Jizhou clans have left Jizhou. The housekeeper still wanted to persuade Zhen Jiang.
Butler: That's telling the truth.
The whole of Jizhou, the current situation, compared with the previous prosperity, is much more depressed.
Many family families, as well as local tycoons, dragged their families out of Jizhou and prepared to go south to Qingzhou or Yanzhou and Yuzhou to develop.
No way, Jizhou will not only implement the household registration reform system, but Liu Yu will also nationalize all the land, isn't this to kill them?
In addition to this, Liu Yu also has to collect commercial taxes.
During the reign of Emperor Wudi of Han, when the commercial tax was the highest, only 26% of the commercial tax was collected.
As for Liu Yu, the commercial tax starts with 25%, and the highest can reach 50% commercial tax.
Don't think that the family family does not do business, where does the money come from if it does not do business?
There is no money, on what basis.
According to Liu Yu's tax collection, most of their profits must be handed over, why?
The department that collects taxes is not under the control of the imperial court, but belongs to the tax department of the Shaofu province, which specializes in collecting commercial taxes.
One by one, the family and landlords of Jizhou had no choice but to sell their land and go south with money.
After all, land cannot be taken away.
Seeing that the family clan, as well as various merchant families, were going south, the clansmen on the Zhen family's side also panicked.
But Zhen Jiang just didn't agree to leave Jizhou.
"They are them, the Wu Zhen family is the Zhen family, they want to go at will, the Wu Zhen family will not stop them, but the Wu Zhen family will never leave Jizhou." Zhen Jiang shook his head and said with a serious face.
"Miss, if you don't agree again, the clan elders will come forward." The housekeeper was also embarrassed.
Zhen Jiang is only in charge of the Zhen family.
In fact, the Zhen family is not the only one.
"Then let them come, as long as Wu Zhen Jiang is the master of the Zhen family for a day, he will definitely not agree to the Zhen family leaving." Zhen Jiang said without fear at all.
"Big Sister"
At this time, Zhen Jiang's four younger sisters, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi, and Zhen Yi's third son, Zhen Yao, came to Zhen Jiang.
"Big sister, the clan elder is here."
Zhen Yao jumped in front of Zhen Jiang, and said in a childish voice.
While speaking, I saw three old men with crutches walking into the lobby.
"Zhen Jiang, I have seen all the clan elders."
These three people are Zhen Yi, that is, Zhen Jiang's father's clan uncle, Zhen Xun, Zhen Xun, and Zhen Guan.
In the family, the authority of the clan elder is no less than that of the patriarch.
"I heard from the people below, Jiang'er, you don't agree with Zhen's going south?" After Zhen Xun, Zhen Xun and Zhen Guan sat down, Zhen Xun looked at Zhen Jiang and asked.
"Yes, Clan Elder." Zhen Jiang nodded.
Since she asked for it, she would not deny it. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
"Why?"
Zhen Xun looked at Zhen Jiang and asked seriously.
"Dare to ask the three clan elders, how do they view the present day?" Zhen Jiang looked at Zhen Xun, Zhen Xun, and Zhen Guan, and asked with a serious expression.
"Today is a time of chaos.........."
The three of Zhen Xun glanced at each other, and after that, Zhen Xun spoke: "Jizhou, it is even more chaotic in chaos, and the princes south of the Yellow River will inevitably go north to destroy Yan in the future, and by then, Jizhou will be the first among them."
Therefore, the three of us decided to let the Zhen family go south, and had already negotiated with the Xuzhou Mi family, as long as the Zhen family paid one-third of the family property, I would allow the Zhen family to enter Xuzhou. "
Zhen's three family assets, that is a huge asset, in the currency of the three states at this time, all of Zhen's family belongings add up, almost 500,000 gold coins.
One-third, that's the assets of 160,000 gold coins.
There are so many of them, of course, they are reluctant, but there is no way, if they want to go to each other's territory and beg for food, they must give a part of their family resources.
"Dare to ask the clan elder, from Jizhou to Xuzhou to pass through Qingzhou, if Qingzhou Yuan Shao obstructs, how should the Wuzhen clan deal with himself?" Zhen Jiang asked with a serious face.
"This point, Jiang'er, you don't have to worry, I have already negotiated with Xin Bi under Yuan Shao, and you only need to deliver two percent of the family capital to pass through Qingzhou." Zhen Xuan on the side spoke.
"Qingzhou Yuan's family has two percent family capital, Xuzhou Mi's three percent family capital, these two alone, the family capital of the Wu Zhen family has shrunk by half, even so, why doesn't the Wu Zhen family stay in Jizhou to continue to develop?" Zhen Jiang looked at the three clan elders and continued to ask.
"Jiang'er, you don't know something."
Zhen Guan shook his head and said, "If you stay in Jizhou, you can save this fifty percent of your family capital, but Yan King Liu 0.6 Yu is a person whose eyes can't tolerate sand."
According to the business of the Wuzhen family, the average tax paid is almost the proportion of % to pay commercial tax. "
"In this way, if the Wu Zhen family earns 100,000 gold coins a year, they have to pay a commercial tax of 35,000 gold coins, and in the end, the net profit will be less than 30,000 gold coins." Zhen Guan looked helpless.
Who would want to leave their homeland if they could, but isn't that impossible?
"The three clan elders, who do you think this great Han world will eventually fall into? Is it the Qingzhou Yuan clan, the Yanzhou Cao clan, or the Jiangdong Sun clan, or the Yan King Liu Yu? Zhen Jiang stared at the three clan elders and asked word by word.
"This..."
Zhen Xun, Zhen Xun, and Zhen Guan looked at each other, but there was no answer.
