Li Er's rewards for the seven hundred plus merchants were not out of line. The only thing that might cause people to hesitate was the last reward: the merchants who donated money could enjoy the same amount of tax exemption this year. Yesterday, these seven hundred plus merchants donated a total of four hundred and twenty thousand strings of coins. Didn't this mean that the Great Tang Imperial Court would have to pay less than four hundred thousand strings of coins in tax this year? How could this be?
But the reality was not like this!
This time, the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce held a large proportion of the participants were merchants from Lantian County. Firstly, it was because of the geographical advantage of being the "host". After all, Datang Daily's promotion of the Charity Fundraiser had only started three days ago. For those provinces and counties that were further away from Lantian County, these three days might not even be enough time for the news to reach their local area, let alone travel thousands of miles to Lantian County to donate money.
Secondly, Lantian County had a unique business environment. Moreover, the business atmosphere was very strong. The number of merchants in the city could be ten times more than other counties. Moreover, Lantian County was the "headquarters" of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention Lantian County, even in the entire Great Tang, which merchant would dare to not give face to the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce?
Therefore, of the seven hundred plus merchants who participated in the Charity Fundraiser yesterday, nearly half of them came from Lantian County. Moreover, the total amount they donated accounted for at least sixty percent of the total donations!
What did this mean? It meant that once Li Er's rewards were implemented, the one who would suffer the greatest loss would not be the Imperial Court, but Li Zexuan! Because Lantian County was Li Zexuan's fief, the taxes collected every year were not handed over to the Imperial Court, but to Li Zexuan!
Of course, as the "landlord", Li Zexuan could very well refuse to implement Li Er's rewards. According to convention, the policies of the fief could be different. However, if he did so, it was inevitable that many people would secretly say that Li Zexuan was stingy. This was something that Li Zexuan could not tolerate!
Therefore, although the last reward of Li Er's rewards seemed excessive, no one objected. This was because everyone was clear in their hearts!
