Chapter 30 The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger

Looking at Li Huizhi's concerned gaze, he had mixed feelings in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info My daughter has been resurrected since she hanged herself, and she has had a lot of help at home, but this time, it's different! No matter how great the wisdom is, there is nothing to think of! The heavens are going to change greatly, what can an ordinary businessman do?

Master Li hesitated again and again, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Daughter, Dad wants to tell you a big thing." The imperial court sent 50,000 taels of military donation to our tea house today, alas, it is difficult! I discussed with Master Yu, and tomorrow he will go out to the Western Regions, try to rush back within the specified time, or he can get the 50,000 taels, but our tea house will no longer be able to operate.

So I plan, when Master Yu helps our family run the last trip to the Western Regions, we will sell the family property, and the money we get will be used exclusively for your eldest brother's education, if he really goes to high school in the future, our family will not have to donate in the future. ”

This...... What are the words? Li Huizhi only felt that her head was confused.

Isn't this always good, how can it be said that it is said to sell property? She really couldn't accept it for a while.

Li Huizhi was still thinking a few days ago that the official's participation in the people's grass fighting conference may be the idea of asking businessmen for money, but who knew that it had really become a reality, and it came so quickly!

Another thing she didn't expect was that the handsome guy lost 150,000 taels with a casual bet, and at that time she thought that the Li family's home production capacity was comparable, but now it seems that it is far behind.

This is this era, some people are happy and some are sad, some people lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and some people go bankrupt for tens of thousands of dollars......

Zhumen dog meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road!

The war in the north and the assessment in the south are excesses, which is expected, but no matter how much it is apportioned, there should always be a degree! Mosquitoes suck blood and know how to suck one bite at a time, you suck enough this time, what about next time?

Obviously, it won't work to reason with the imperial court, but after four generations, did the Li family tea house fall into selling property overnight?

Li Huizhi shook her head: "What about our 'Three Kwai Rain Buds'?" That's the name Lu Yu personally inscribed! Finally made a loud start, and just quit? Li Huizhi also wanted to say that the day before yesterday at the grass fighting party, she spared no effort to advertise!

How can Master Li not understand these truths? However, the contribution assessed by the imperial court cannot be shirked in any case, and the offender can be charged with a very serious crime!

Li Huizhi muttered: "It's really harsh and fierce!" ”

Master Li raised his eyes to the sky, but there was no answer in the sky. He said sadly: "I only hope that the boy surnamed Yu can quickly keep his promise and come back as soon as possible to marry you, so that he can rest assured that he will be a father!" ”

can't keep the ancestral business, Master Li is very ashamed in his heart, even if he dies, how can he see his ancestors?

Li Huizhi's heart was sour, the master was so desperate, and there was some meaning of last words in such words. The old man still loves Miss Li in his heart! When he was most desperate, he still thought that he could entrust her to her, so that he would not be left unattended, so that even if he left, he could leave with peace of mind!

She choked up a little and said, "You don't have to stop the tea house, do you?" Even if our principal is less, we can reduce the scale a little, and we have to continue, the signboard of the Li Family Tea House can't be poured! Although it has only been less than a month, Li Huizhi has also worked hard in the tea house, and now seeing that it is about to fall, she naturally feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Master Li sighed heavily: "You don't understand! As long as our tea house is open, the imperial court will continue to apportion, over the years, the merchants have been apportioned again and again, large merchants have become small merchants, and small merchants have fallen batch after batch. The rest of the merchant task is getting heavier and heavier. Let's not fall down this time, use all our assets for business, and we can't resist the next apportionment, and then there will be nothing, what will your eldest brother take to continue studying? Is there any hope for our family? ”

"......" Li Huizhi couldn't answer. The Li family's current financial situation must have been caused by years of apportionment and excesses, and a large tea house with infinite scenery for four generations in the Western Regions was so unbearable that the burden of excesses was so unbearable, and the situation of other small merchants can be imagined.

No wonder no matter how difficult Master Li is, he wants his eldest brother Ang Li to study hard, it turns out that his abacus is here! No matter how well the business operates, it is only a temporary wealth, but as long as there is a slight wind and grass in the sky, no matter how big the family business is, it will not be able to withstand it. This heaven is the Son of Heaven, the court.

And as long as the eldest brother obtains fame, he can be exempted from donations, which is a safe thing!

Seeing that Li Huizhi also fell into a clueless thinking, Master Li smiled bitterly, looked affectionately in the direction of the new tea showroom, sighed, and said: "Besides, even if I want to reluctantly operate, I don't think it will be possible to buy any decent tea in the spring of next year!" You...... When you don't sew! ”

"Why is that?"

"Let's appropriate, do you think the peasants will be spared? Tea growers also have their donations. In recent years, our business path has become narrower and narrower, how strong can others be? Besides, each family has to complete the apportionment, the business is also getting smaller and smaller, the tea purchased is naturally less and less, the price is getting lower and lower, they are naturally difficult to eat, and now such a big apportionment, it is equivalent to cutting off their rations, I think those people even if they don't starve to death, they have to move to the mountains to hide, where are the people who come out to pick tea? ”

If you pay taxes, you won't have anything to eat, and if you want to keep your stutter, you can't pay taxes, so you have to be questioned, what can people do if they don't hide?

So that's it! It has to be so! Li Huizhi couldn't answer a word, and this situation formed a vicious circle, and everyone didn't have a good life! It's really beyond human power.

What to do? Li Huizhi thought about it all night.

She has thought about it a lot, and she has been thinking since she was in modern times, she is a high-achieving student, she has studied hard for more than ten years, but she only lives in a law firm, and now that she has arrived in Datang, do you want to continue to mix? Seeing that the Li family is about to fall, shouldn't he do something? If the Li family falls down at this moment, I am afraid that future generations will never have such a good tea to drink!

Old Man Li waited for Li An to take the test with a heartfelt heart, but the reputation said that he would take the test? What age did Fan Jin get when he took the middle school exam? Besides, what can I do even if I pass the exam? Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, such a great talent, which one is not famous? The result?

There is also the most serious question, if the Li family falls, what good life can Li Huizhi have? A concubine, if the surname Yu is already starving to death outside and can't come back to marry herself, then she will definitely only be sold to the Qinglou. I can't play and play, I can't sing and sing, I can't jump and I can't dance, and the Qingqi people will definitely not be able to do it! It's barely a little pretentious, so don't you have to take over the job every day? But the problem is that it's not good to live on your own!

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think!

Whether in public or private, the Li family must find a way to support it. It would be nice to hold out for another two years, and the Anshi Rebellion will be pacified in two more years. When the time comes, life will be a little better.

The next morning, Xiaoyu brought washing water to the young lady, and as soon as she entered the door, she screamed "ah" in fright, and the basin fell to the ground again, and the hot water was spilled on the ground.

"Miss, why did you hang yourself again?" Xiaoyu cried, but the last time Miss hanged her head, why did she hang her feet this time? Can hanging feet hang to death? I've never heard of it.

"Xiaoyu, can you calm down and stop yelling? I was thinking about the problem, I just had a clue, and I was scared back by you! Li Huizhi hung upside down, her head down, her eyes bloodshot. She had changed countless positions that night, and she didn't know how many brain cells were left alive.

Every time Xiaoyu always likes to wet the door of the house, it is too careless. Fortunately, the basin is copper and can withstand a fall.

As soon as he finished breakfast, Master Yu sent someone to drive a car. He was also pessimistic, and he didn't sleep all night looking at the situation. The Li family has apportionment, and there are many of the Yu family, this trip is not only for the Li family, but also for the Yu family themselves. But his unconscious stinky boy hasn't come back yet, when has it been, and I don't know how to worry about the old father.

The goods have been decorated a long time ago, just arrange for the next person to carry it to the car, Master Yu took advantage of this gap to entrust Master Li: "This trip, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, but I can't put it down at home, I think you will share the snacks for me during this time." ”

Master Li looked responsible: "Don't worry, your family's business is my business, the big thing, I'm here, your family is here!" "That kid from the Yu family is not at home, even if he believes in it, he can't trust him like his own son. It's no wonder he's not worried!

Master Yu nodded: "Actually, there shouldn't be anything!" That old butler has been with me for more than fifty years, and I trust him very much, and I have asked him to come and discuss with you if he has something to do. It shouldn't be a big deal. Half of what he said was to Master Li, and half of it was to comfort himself.

Master Li pressed his hand on Master Yu's shoulder, a lot of things have indeed happened between the two over the years, from the old brother to the in-laws, and then from the in-laws to the enemies, and from the enemies to the in-laws, now it can be said that it is a family that shares blessings and misfortunes, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, everything in your family has me, and this trip will be all please!" ”

Master Yu nodded, what he had to say had been said, even if he was worried, it would be useless, so he didn't say anything, beckoned the people who accompanied him, and walked out.

Li Huizhi was also worried for a while, in the war years, no matter which side of the people were caught, they would be regarded as the other party's spies, and even if they took a small road, it was difficult to guarantee that they would encounter robbers and robbers or something, this was not intimidation, the war in the north, the displaced people couldn't even eat, and it was not surprising that they went up the mountain and fell into the grass.

But what's the solution? If it weren't for the tight schedule and heavy tasks, who would want to take this risk?
