In normal times, the moment Euris fell, Mel would be shot into a hedgehog by the maids standing on either side of the parlor with their pocket hand crossbows. www.biquge.info But the maids are not security machines that don't understand human feelings, they know very well why Her Royal Highness fainted and whose arms she wants to fall into, so they still stand in place with their eyes closed, not moving.

There's no way Maier could let Euris's body fall to the ground, so he could only wrap his arms around Euris's slender waist with a blushing face, twisting his face to the side, not daring to look directly at her face. It is true that Urlis's wish was to fall into Maier's arms, but it was not a ruse, because she had never expected that Maier would suddenly say such a thing, nor did she expect that her little heart would be so fragile that it would be struck down by such a simple word.

"Mr. Byrons, Her Royal Highness has fainted."

The maid closest to Maier said to Maier with her eyes closed, with a blank face.

"Ah...... That ......"

"Don't worry, Mr. Byrens, Her Royal Highness just has a strange disease."

"Uh, weird disease?"

"That's right, weird disease." The maid nodded her head with an imperceptible magnitude, "It's a strange illness that needs to kiss Mr. Byron after fainting to wake up." ”

How can there be such a strange disease in the world!

Mel spat out a groan in her mind and smiled wryly as she put Ulis's body back in her seat.

"Please cooperate with us in the treatment of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

When the maid saw that Mary did not answer, she saluted her. As she bent down, all the maids in the room turned around and bowed to Mel.

"Please cooperate with us in the treatment of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Mel stole a glance at Urris's pink-carved face and thin pink lips, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He knows very well that he will not suffer a loss in this kind of thing, and Euris has also said that she likes herself, so it should be no problem to kiss her at this time, right?

No, big problem!

In just a moment, he answered in his heart.

Kissing her now in front of so many people is tantamount to admitting that I like her. Ulis is a princess of a country, she must not be able to marry me as a merchant, right? So I'm going to have to get into it.

But I'm Gray too? The son of Byrons, although I don't want to live under the aura of my father, he is my father, I am his son, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Grace? The news that Byrons' son had joined the royal family of the Tugurs would certainly be big news if it got out, at least on the side of the Ilibi League.

What will happen then?

I don't know. It's because I don't know that I can't just make a decision.

And most importantly, I don't know if I like Euris or not. She's a beauty, she's smart, and she's got a lot of boobs and cute bunny ears - ahem, it's too far away, but it's too arbitrary to like her because of this kind of thing. What if I meet a girl who is cuter than her one day?

Even from the perspective of merit, it is not appropriate to make a decision now. In case of...... I mean, in case I meet a better girl in the future, it will undoubtedly become a stupid and wrong act to choose Euris at that time.

Therefore, I should not make an arbitrary choice.

Thinking of this, Myer's eyes became clear, and the young man, who didn't know what love was, smiled and made up his mind.

"Everyone, please don't make fun of me, it's not a gentleman's job to take advantage of people's danger."

As he spoke, Maier turned his face to Kazuyan, who was looking straight at the ground with his head down.

"Mr. Ruizhi, please ask the doctor in the house to treat Her Royal Highness the princess immediately."

After Euris confesses to Myer, Kazuyan's position in the room becomes very awkward. He didn't go, he didn't go, and it was not easy to meddle in the affairs between young people, so he could only pretend to stare at the ground in a daze to pass the time. So Mel's words were a lifesaver for him, and he nodded quickly, and hurried out of the parlour under the resentful gaze of the maids.

Naturally, the maids would not let the doctors of the commoner families come into contact with their princesses, so after He Yan Ruizhi left, two maids immediately followed. They stopped and Yan Ruizhi, said some polite words, and persuaded He Yan Ruizhi to go back to rest, and then they called the accompanying royal doctor and gave Yulisi a simple diagnosis and treatment.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is in a coma just because of her emotions, and it won't take long for her to wake up."

As soon as Maier heard the doctor say that Euris would wake up "in a short time", she hurriedly took her leave, and before the maids could react, she hurriedly fled from the house with Yan.

When Mel returned home, the three maids had already returned from shopping. They bought a freshly killed Taeyong white turkey, which weighed 30 kilograms, and there were no such big plates or pots at home, so Kiki took it upon herself to dismantle the chicken. Chicken thighs and wings are used to roast and eat, chicken ribs and chicken heads are used to stew soup, and the rest of the chicken is cooked and torn into shreds and eaten cold.

Xiao Ye is boiling the sauce according to Qiqi's instructions, the main ingredient is Taerong meat sauce made of minced pork, which must be boiled for at least six hours, stirred every once in a while, and is not finished until the minced pork is completely melted into the sauce. Kiki also bought beef bones and used them to make soup. The bird was looking at the pot in which the soup was cooking, and every once in a while she had to fill the pot with water so as not to make it sticky.

Seeing that the maids were busy, Maier tiptoed to the bedroom, but was still spotted by Kiki.

"Welcome home, master."

Kiki put down her work and saluted Mel. When Ye and Bird heard Kiki's voice, they both turned around and saluted Mel.

"Well, you've done a great job."

Maier hurriedly waved his hand at the three maids and hurried into the bedroom. The three maids didn't think much of it and continued with the work at hand. When Mel returned to the bedroom, he threw himself on the bed, deliberately stopped thinking, and rested until noon.

Since he had an appointment with Yishan in the afternoon, when the sun began to set west, Maier got up from the bed, tidied up his appearance casually, left the house, and went in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

By the time he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the well-dressed Yishan had been waiting in the living room for almost two hours. She didn't eat lunch, but she didn't feel hungry at all.

"How's it going?"

As soon as Maier entered the living room, Yishan couldn't wait to ask.

"Hmm...... It's a lot of gains. Maier smiled, "Let's put it this way, the last business was to sell the dried bamboo shoots bought from Shangjin County in Liangyue City, and I paid more than 500 wen in transaction tax alone." ”

At present, the commercial tax in the New World is mainly a transaction tax, and the war tax is also apportioned to the Chamber of Commerce in times of war. Leaving aside the war tax of the fixed apportionment, you have to pay as much as people want, otherwise you will not be able to continue your business. The collection method of transaction tax should be divided into two types: "sitting business" and "businessman".

Merchants in the New World must be registered with the local chambers of commerce, otherwise they will be considered black merchants, illegal, and not protected by anyone, in other words, anyone can kill you and rob you, and no one will care.

There are two types of registered merchants: sitting merchants and merchants. The threshold for sitting in a business is relatively high, first of all, you have to have a store, and secondly, you have to prove that you have the capital to register a businessman, and the audit is relatively strict, and it is permanently valid after registration. The threshold for business is relatively low, as long as you pay a deposit when registering, the local relevant departments will give you a qualification certificate, basically you can do it if you have money. However, the registration of the dealer is only valid for one year, and when the qualification certificate is almost one year old, he must go to the local relevant department to "re-check" and pay a deposit before he can continue to operate, otherwise he will be regarded as a black businessman.

The tax is paid at the end of each month, and in some areas it is paid in a fixed amount, while in some areas it is taxed in proportion to the income. In areas where taxes are levied according to the proportion of income, every business must be booked, generally in two books, one original and one copy. Towards the end of the month, the tax collector will come to the merchant to collect the copy, check the account and determine how much tax should be collected for the month. In order to prevent tax evasion and evasion, tax officials will also come to check the goods and check the accounts from time to time.

Every time a merchant conducts a transaction in the local area, he has to pay a certain percentage of the transaction amount. Most towns in the New World have dedicated business districts, albeit by different names. For example, Liangyuecheng and Shangjin County are called commercial districts, Twenty-nine Village is called downtown area, and Rimi Shrine is called market area, although the name is different, but the function is the same.

Merchants can only buy and sell in the commercial area as long as they enter the jurisdiction of the local tax department. This type of sale is protected by local law, and in the event of fraud or default, you can appeal to the local tax authority. Otherwise, it is not protected, and if caught, you may be fined or even have your entire cargo impounded.

Merchants can set up stalls in the business district, but of course, there is a fee for setting up stalls. You can also trade directly with other merchants in the warehouse, and you must pay taxes after the transaction, and the tax collector will give you a tax bill after paying the tax, and the tax bill will record the transaction information in a special way. Every merchant would be inspected when he entered the city, and the tax collector at the gate would confirm what goods he had brought with him, record them, and give the merchant a pass.

When leaving the city gate, the tax collector at the city gate had to collect the pass and inspect the merchant's goods, and if the information on the pass did not match the actual information, and the merchant did not have a tax bill, it proved that the merchant had made a transaction in the local area but did not pay the tax. If a trader carries a tax bill, but the information on the tax bill does not match the actual information, it can also prove that the trader did not pay the tax, and the trader who evades taxes will be punished very severely.

It may be a bit difficult to understand this, but to give a simple example. If a merchant pulls a cart of cucumbers to Shangjin County to sell, the tax collector will give him a pass when he enters the city, and the pass will indicate in a special way that the merchant is pulling a cart of cucumbers to Shangjin County. The merchant sold the cucumbers in Shangjin County and bought a cart of potatoes. It was two transactions, even if it was a direct exchange of cucumbers for potatoes, and two taxes had to be paid, as Mayer had done when he was in Eugsburg.

When the merchant has paid the tax, the tax collector will give him a tax bill, which will indicate in a special way that the merchant has sold a cart of cucumbers and bought a cart of potatoes. When the merchants left the city, the tax collectors at the gate would check the passes and tax bills, as well as the merchants' goods, and only after making sure that the recorded information was exactly the same as the actual information, would they let the merchants out of the city.

Some people may think that merchants can sneak in and out of the city and use this method to evade taxes. In fact, this does not work, because the merchants are basically running around with goods, and there is a risk of robbery with goods. The risk comes not only from criminals, but also from the regular army and patrols, as well as from local civilians. If the merchant does not fly the flag and does not bring the qualification certificate when he runs the business, even if the goods are all robbed by the locals, there is nowhere to excuse himself.

It's worth mentioning that once you're a merchant, you'll be able to register a caravan under your own merchant. The caravan was taxed in the manner of merchants, and as long as the goods were not handled in the store, they did not have to keep accounts. Since it is a merchant, the caravan will also get a merchant's qualification, but the deposit to be paid every year is very small. Where there are waterways, there are also merchants who walk by boat, and there are other waterways to collect taxes on waterways, which are similar to those on land, so I will not repeat them here.

Liang Yuecheng's merchant transaction tax is 2% of the total amount of the transaction, and if you make a transaction with another merchant for 100 yuan, you will have to pay 2 yuan tax to the local tax department. In other words, Maier, who paid more than 500 yuan in taxes, had a transaction amount of more than 25 yuan this time.

You must know that not long ago, Maier was still a novice merchant who only knew how to go to the countryside to receive goods and sell them back to Liangyue City, and the total amount of each run was at most two yuan. In less than three months, he has achieved a single transaction amount of more than 20, and his growth rate is like riding a rocket.

Of course, Mel's rapid growth is indispensable to Yan Rui. If it weren't for his repeated reminders, Maier wouldn't have learned the skills that only those big merchants would use.

The growth of her sweetheart naturally makes Yishan happy, but the woman's intuition makes her smell a dangerous smell in Meier. She quietly left the chair and sat down beside Mel with a smile, and an unfamiliar aroma entered her nostrils.

It was the smell of balm, which Mel had touched on Ullys's body. Although it has been a long time since the smell of the balm has faded a lot, Yishan still captures this breath that does not belong to Maier.
