Chapter 70: One Thousand Two Hundred Taels

"Collect again?"

Chen Mo, who had just come over, couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just collect commercial taxes a few days ago?" And I also collected twenty taels, why do you collect it now? Which law does it say? ”

Lean Catcher sneered, "Naturally, it is stipulated by our Governor Lin!" In Yongzhou, our lord is the law! ”

Hold your head high and be very proud.

"Your lord... Is it the law? ”

Chen Mo's eyes became very cold, and he said word by word: "This is what your master said himself?" ”

"Hehe, what does it matter if our master says it or not? Who else in this city doesn't know that our lord is the heaven of Yongzhou! ”

"Good, good! I remember that! ”

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and said.

"Hey, I said, where did this girl come from? Uncle is talking here, do you have the right to interject? ”

After the lean catch finished speaking, he coveted Chen Mo's face a little, and made a gesture to push her, but in fact, he wanted to take advantage of it with salty pig hands.

Seeing that his hand was about to touch Chen Mo's body, Jing Zhe grabbed her arm from behind and stretched out his hand to pull it, just dodging it.

Then he took a step forward, right in front of Chen Mo.

"This official, is it too much?"

……

"Lin Tong, who is that little lady?"

In the watermelon shop diagonally opposite, Lin Wenyao rushed over early in the morning and sat inside to watch the play.

Since he knew that they had mastered the method of making ice, Lin Wenyao was a little impatient, his first move was to strike at Qingliang Summer, and these catches were found by him.

But his current mind is not on this, and his soul has long been taken away by Chen Mo, who is out of the dust.

Lin Wenyao, a playboy who lingers between Chunshui Building and Drunken Dream Building and other Fengyue places every day, although the women he has seen are also a little beautiful, but compared with Chen Mo in front of him, he immediately became a bewitching slut.

"This..."

Lin Tong had never seen Chen Mo, or he had never seen Chen Mo in women's clothing, so he couldn't tell.

"Young master, I know!"

At this time, the pillar volunteered.

"I heard from them when it was a cool summer that this woman is the sister of a powder-faced scholar named Chen Mo..."

"Powder-faced scholar..."

Lin Wenyao pondered, and then clapped his hands.

"No wonder it's so familiar, it turns out to be his sister! I saw the two of them know each other in Chunshui Building before, so that's it! ”

When he was in Chunshui Building, Chen Mo, who was dressed as a man, once "recommended" Jing Zhe to write poems, and Lin Wenyao still had an impression.

"Yes, what's your name?"

"Back to the young master, my name is Zhuzi!"

Hearing Lin Wenyao ask his name, Zhu Zi felt beautiful in his heart, while Lin Tong behind him had a gloomy face.

……

"Official, just talk, don't mess around, otherwise I'm afraid you'll lose your hands!"

Jing Zhe said coldly.

"Hehe, how dare you threaten me?"

The lean catcher also snorted coldly and said fiercely.

This time, Jing Zhe didn't speak, Han Han, Da Da and others had already surrounded them, and they were surrounded by a tight wind.

Don't look at Han Han, they usually make promises in front of Jing Zhe, but when they encounter official errands, they will not hesitate to strike hard.

The catchers were well-informed, and they saw a lot of people of all kinds, but they were frightened by the bandit aura exuded by Han Han and others, and retreated again and again.

Thin Catcher exclaimed, "What... Do you still want to beat up the officials? ”

"Assaulting the officer?"

Jing Zhe shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, we don't have it." How could we, law-abiding citizens, do such rude things in front of so many people? ”

"That's right! In front of so many people, I don't dare you! ”

When the lean catcher heard it, he suddenly came to confidence.

But Jing Zhe changed his words and sneered: "However, if someone moves his hands and feet against a woman from a good family in front of the public, intending to flirt, even if it is an official errand, I will never agree!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who ate melons all pointed and pointed.

They all saw it when Skinny Catcher stretched out his hand towards Chen Mo just now, and then looked at Chen Mo, a little girl with a beautiful national color, what was Skinny Catcher's thoughts, how could they not understand?

Listening to the discussion of the surrounding crowd, Lean Catch is a little Alexander, coughing twice in a vain attempt to eliminate the embarrassment.

Then he said: "Who did something to her?" I'm just tickling and scratching my head! ”

Then he stretched his hand forward, moved it to his head, and made a very large head scratching motion, and the onlookers looked confused.

"Not the best!"

Jing Zhe snorted coldly, and Han Han and the others also stepped aside.

"Then next, the official will talk about the business tax!"

Chen Mo next to him continued: "It's only been two or three days since the last time you collected commercial tax, is it possible, you also know that you have collected too much, this is to prepare to return the overcharge?" ”

“……”

Chen Mo's words hooked up the memories of the onlookers.

"That's right, didn't you post a notice a few days ago, saying that you collected twenty taels of commercial tax?"

"Huh, twenty taels? According to the tax rate of two or three cents of 100 yuan, wouldn't you have to earn 1,000 taels a year, or a store that has just opened for a few days, is there a mistake? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I thought it was a mistake before, but listening to the meaning of what I just said, it seems to be right! ”

"It's black, it's really black!"

Everyone was chattering, and Jing Zhe listened to it, thinking that the notice posted last time really worked, and it depends on how to explain the next catch.

"The twenty taels of commercial tax collected last time... It's a lot, but it's a pre-collection, it's the same as what kind of farts you do in the store, you see, when will we come to collect it in the next few days? ”

Lean Catcher quickly raised his head and said.

Jing Zhe laughed directly after hearing this: "According to the meaning of the official, it seems that he is still going to collect our commercial tax once a day?" Awesome! ”

After saying that, he gave him a thumbs up.

But the lean catcher didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed at all, and continued: "Of course, collecting commercial tax once a day is not only annoying to you, but it is also inconvenient for us to put it away!" So Governor Lin decided to charge you only one business tax a year! ”

After listening, Jing Zhe nodded, "Okay, the twenty taels of silver will be entitled to this year's commercial tax!" I don't want the extra ones, so I'll invite you to drink! ”

“……”

After speaking, Jing Zhe stopped paying attention to him and prepared to go back.

"Wait!"

Thin Catcher hurriedly shouted at him: "I haven't finished my words yet!" ”

"Didn't I tell you, we don't want more!"

"Many?"

His eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "Are you dreaming?" Far from enough! ”

"Far from enough?"

At this time, not only Jing Zhe, but also the onlookers were shocked.

Someone has already calculated just now that according to the tax rate of two or three cents taken from 100 yuan, he only pays 20 taels of commercial tax if he earns 1,000 taels of silver a year, but he said that it is far from enough...

Jing Zhe smiled, "Then please tell us how much commercial tax we should pay?" ”

"One thousand two hundred taels!"

The lean catcher didn't even think about it, and blurted out his debut.
