Chapter 213: Bad News

"Thirty percent? They might as well rob it! ”

Xiao Jing roared angrily, and slammed his fist on the table as if he wanted to collapse the table. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Newspapers themselves are new, and the advertising business of newspapers is an area that has never been touched before. Since there are benefits, the government will definitely come to mix, but Xiao Jing didn't expect them to open their mouths widely, and they would ask for as many as three percent at once!

Puhua Town is not far from the capital, but in terms of administrative division, it is the jurisdiction of Tai'an County. According to Xiaoya, it was a tax collector from the county tax bureau who came to the door.

Don't underestimate these tax collectors, they have a lot of power. Since ancient times, many of the excessively expensive taxes have been made by tax collectors.

With the development of the times, there are always some new things sprouting in the folk; This is a trivial meaning to others, anyway, they collect taxes for the heavenly family, just make up an explanation, do you dare to pay the money obediently?

There must have been honest tax collectors in the world of the Great Rui Dynasty, but the newspaper office just caught up with the needy ones. As for where the money went after it was collected...... They will keep some of it themselves, and they will definitely have to take out some of it if they are filial to their superiors.

Therefore, there is something like "the number of classes is increasing day by day, and the officials are getting cooler day by day." Do not do it for the public, but do what you want for yourself".

The Mirror newspaper has earned thousands of taels of income from each advertisement. However, the daily expenses of the newspaper are also very large: excluding printing costs, staff salaries, travel expenses, living expenses, public relations expenses, and promotion expenses, the rest is less than 40%.

If 30% of the tax is paid, it means that the newspaper has almost no money left, and it can no longer expand the scale of operation, and Xiao Jing's ideas that require capital investment to realize have all come to naught.

Of course, Xiao Jing has other ways to bring income to the Mirror. However, if you accommodate someone else this time, there will be a second and third time after that...... This is definitely something he doesn't want to see.

Xiao Jing said with a calm face: "Let this go in advance, and talk about it when he comes." If you don't tell him about things, is he really a bully for us? ”

After chatting for a while, Lu Shanshan came back. Dong Xiaoya left under the pretext of leaving only Miss Lu who was happy to see Xiao Jing recover.

"You're not so happy to see me, are you?" Xiao Jing said angrily: "Did you see that the person who was almost killed by you has recovered, and you have let go of your guilt, so you are relieved?" ”

Lu Shanshan grimaced and said, "Count you smart." You have to let me come back early, but I can't eat well or sleep well here, lest you make a mistake. ”

As she spoke, she sneakily lowered her voice: "You have been over there all along, and many people are suspicious. Shao Ning and Xiaoya always ask me what are you doing in Linzhou, but Ziqian didn't ask, but I heard that he asked someone to go to Linzhou. Hehe, there are still a lot of people in the newspaper who care about you, in case your injuries are not well recovered or you are simply disabled, these people will not eat me alive? That's why I'm looking forward to your early return, so that I can clear my suspicions. ”

Xiao Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Sure enough." Then let me ask you, are you looking for those nursing homes? Are people reliable? ”

Lu Shanshan said proudly: "Can the person I found be unreliable?" ”

Xiao Jing smiled: "Maybe." Didn't you set up a secret sentry the night I was captured by Lu Chong, and what happened in the end? I'm not caught yet! ”

Lu Shanshan said unhappily: "You love to dig over old accounts." Let me tell you, these six people in our courtyard are all martial artists who have a lot to do with the Lu family, and two of them have also taught in the mansion of the second grade Jingguan. They are not willing to come for the sake of my father's face, and ordinary people have to treat others as if they were uncles. You're good, you're still picky, do you want me to drive people away? ”

Xiao Jing was speechless: "So well-founded? So, how much money do you have to give for a month? My temple is too small, and my monthly income is stretched thin, and if I raise so many more talented people, I will go bankrupt......"

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay for it." Lu Shanshan whispered: "I have paid for them, so you can just invite them to drink wine and eat meat in the restaurant from time to time, it's not difficult, right?" ”

Xiao Jing said happily: "Since this is the case, I am relieved." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice to the point that only each other could hear him: "Now that you have moved in too, you have to pay attention to a lot of things. For example, don't drink, and don't knock on my door after the end of the day, because we can't repeat the events of that night. Right now, Xiaoyuan lives between me and Xiao Pan, don't take the child with you......"

Hearing him say this, Lu Shanshan chuckled: "Are you afraid that I will talk to you again?" Don't worry, if I really want to go in, why do I have to walk through the door, do you think your window can block me? ”

That's right. Xiao Jing has seen Lu Nuxia's skills, and she may have many special skills that are not well known.

After a slight pause, she cautiously asked again, "By the way, you don't blame me now, do you?" ”

Xiao Jing let out a long sigh and said, "Anyway, the beating has already been beaten, what's the use of blaming you?" Things have passed, people have to look forward, I won't blame you, save you from saying that I have a small belly and chicken intestines. ”

Lu Shanshan just showed a hint of a smile, and he straightened his face again and said, "It's just, you must stop playing any tricks with me." If you lie to me again, we won't know anyone in our lives, understand? ”

As if to confirm his physical condition, Lu Shanshan chatted with him for a while before leaving.

Xiao Jing, who was already tired, just picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, when he saw a person leaning on the door frame. Her beautiful eyes stared at President Xiao, and there was something complicated in her eyes.

"Ziqian is here?" Xiao Jing sat up straight: "Do you have something to tell me?" Come here! ”

Qin Ziqian shook her head and laughed, "I arrived just now." But seeing that you were chatting happily with others, I didn't dare to come up and disturb you. ”

What kind of dry vinegar is she eating!

After that, Qin Ziqian generously walked to Xiao Jing and sat down, and said with a smile: "Cousin, she no longer does the work of the newspaper, can President Xiao know?" ”

Xiao Jing, who had a solemn face, nodded vigorously. He knew that Xia Hanxue would gradually fade out of the newspaper, but he didn't expect to hear the bad news from Xiaoya's mouth as soon as he came back.

"So what are you going to do and give up?" Qin Ziqian said tentatively: "As far as I know, my uncle is already looking for her in-law's house." Although there may not be a suitable one for a while, it will take half a year and a year to really let her out, but you have to plan in advance. ”

Xiao Jing nodded, and said with a smile: "So, I still need your help!" ”
