Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 299 Lingyun Mutual Market
Artest, father and daughter walked with a group of people for about half a day, and finally arrived at the location of the exchange market.

This is a valley, yes, it is the unnamed valley where the four major families of Yunzhou County secretly traded with the Tartars outside the customs.

When choosing the location of the exchange market, Zhao Jun immediately thought of this place. When he came here, it happened to be a circular valley, sheltered from the wind and rain, and the location of the exchange market was set here for everyone to rest.

The second reason is that this place is familiar to those old tribes on the southern grassland. Most of them have had the experience of doing business with the four major families.

Put the exchange market here without worrying that the Tatars on the grassland can't find a place.

So the location of the mutual market was determined in this way.

And this place was renamed Lingyun Mutual Market.

After the location of the mutual market was determined at the end of September, the engineering team of Yunzhou County drove into this unnamed valley.

In just one month, the engineering team of Yunzhou County showed the Tatars who had never seen the world what is called Yunzhou speed.

The originally desolate and nameless valley was leveled from the inside to the outside, and some of the more dangerous cliffs and cliffs were also reinforced. But people in Xinxin Valley were suddenly taken away by landslides when they fell asleep.

A series of buildings appeared in the depths of the valley, and the most majestic and majestic one was naturally the Mutual Tax Department representing the Yunzhou County Yamen.

The three-story building using reinforced concrete presents a pagoda-like layer stacked upwards, and the highest point is made of golden gold and silver in the shape of an ingot and hung on the top of the tower.

As long as all the people who come to the exchange market enter the valley, they can see the pagoda-shaped building of the exchange company in the distance as long as they look up a little. The breath of a local tyrant!
On both sides of the Exchange Department, it is divided into five regions from Taniguchi to the Exchange Department.

The place closest to Taniguchi is the exchange area. Yunzhou County Yamen has set up [-] exchange points here. Anyone who enters the exchange market can bring their own cattle, sheep, horses or gold and silver to the exchange point, and exchange them into only Cloud banknotes used in the exchange market.

When going out of the exchange market, you can choose to take the cloud banknotes away, or you can choose to exchange them for gold and silver.

However, it does not support the exchange of live animals such as cattle, sheep and horses.

Barter transactions are not accepted in the mutual market, and all transactions must be carried out using cloud banknotes.

Cloud banknotes are a kind of banknotes specially made by the Yamen of Yunzhou County. There is a dime equivalent to one tael of silver, one piece equivalent to one tael of silver, ten yuan and 100 yuan equivalent to ten taels of silver and one hundred taels of silver, and 1000 yuan equivalent to 1000 taels of silver.

There are only these eight denominations of cloud banknotes in total, and a special gold banknote will be used in the transaction of the ten thousand tael level.

Starting with one gold denomination, there are also hardware, ten gold, fifty gold and one hundred gold denominations.

However, this level of transactions is beyond the reach of ordinary herdsmen.

The exchange of money and banknotes reaching this transaction amount is specially handled by officials of the Mutual Waters Department.

The mutual tax department is also responsible for the exchange of gold and banknotes, and the exchange point here does not have the authority to exchange.

The next area that the herdsmen enter after passing through the exchange area is the garrison area.

There are branches of dozens of inns in Yunzhou County here, and there are also Yunzhou Hotels established here by the Yamen of Yunzhou County.

People who come to the exchange market can find an inn here if they plan to stay here overnight.

Of course, ordinary people can only stay in those ordinary inns.

Only medium-sized tribes with a certain status are eligible to stay in Yunzhou Hotel, but the corresponding accommodation price of Yunzhou Hotel is dozens of times that of other ordinary inns.

But the service is also excellent.

The next area you enter through the garrison area belongs to the three market areas for trading.

The first market is called Zashi.

Miscellaneous market, as the name suggests, has a lot of things to buy in it, and it is also very miscellaneous, ranging from toothpaste, toothbrush, hairpin and hairpin, which is a special product of Yunzhou County, to exquisite gold, silver jewelry, emerald jewelry and other valuables.

Here you can buy everything but salt and tea and ironwork.

Only what you can't think of, nothing not here.

Most of the stalls here are merchants who have applied for mutual market qualifications at the Yunzhou County Yamen.

And after the miscellaneous market is the tea market, the tea market, as the name suggests, is here to sell tea in rotation.

Today's tea has almost become a necessity for grassland people, and the sale of tea in the mutual market is the exclusive material of the Yunzhou county government.

Except for the Yunzhou County Yamen, no one is qualified to sell tea in the mutual market. Once caught, they will be punished as smuggling.

Here the most common tea bricks are the most demanded by herdsmen.

After that, the tea leaves are divided into three grades, one tael of silver per catty is the third grade, ten taels of silver per catty is the second grade, and 100 taels of silver per catty is classified into the third grade.

It is unaffordable for ordinary herdsmen, but these teas are indeed the favorite of the Tatar nobles, and they are also the most popular commodities among the Tatar nobles since the establishment of the exchange market.

Herdsmen can buy the tea they need in the tea market, and then they can enter the last salt market.

The salt market, like the tea market, is the exclusive business of the Yunzhou County Yamen, and like the tea, the salt is also divided into several grades.

The most common coarse salt costs [-] wen a catty, and the refined salt of a higher level costs [-] wen a catty.

After that, there will be five hundred cash a catty of green salt and one tael of silver a catty of snowflake salt.

The salt in the middle grades of the whole salt market is enough to meet the needs of all customers.

When you complete the transaction in these three market areas, you need to enter the Exchange Department to pay taxes.

To pay taxes, you need to take out the invoice issued by the merchant after you have traded with the merchant. After checking, the officials of the exchange market will charge you half of the believed tax amount based on the transaction amount on your invoice.

The other half is paid by the merchant.

After the tax has been paid, the officials of the Mutual Tax Department will stamp the official stamp on the invoice, confirming that all your goods have been taxed.

There is also a threshold for tax payment. When the transaction amount reaches more than five cents, you need to start paying tax.

Note that you must not evade taxes here in the exchange market. The exchange company has a well-equipped tax rider with a scale of about a thousand people. Every day, the exchange company needs to check all the tax payments for the transactions of the day. If anyone is found to be evading taxes, then hold With a strong bow and crossbow, the tax knight with a cold face will kick open your door in the middle of the night, drag you out of the room, and ask you to pay the tax.

It’s okay if you make up for it, but if you refuse to pay taxes, the tax rider has the right to confiscate all your belongings.

If the items are still not tax-deductible, even you yourself will become a slave of the mutual tax bureau and be sold to pay the tax.

So in Lingyun Mutual Market, you can be cheated and abducted, as long as the other party can't find you, you can feel at ease.

But you must not evade taxes!

No one can escape the pursuit of tax riders, even if you go to the ends of the earth, you have to pay back the taxes owed to the mutual tax department!
