"Master Hou, this, this thing, what is it? Should we collect taxes according to the market price? ”

The middle-aged official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, looking at the white latex in the wooden barrel in the cabin, he reached in and touched it, and then put his hand next to his nose and sniffed, but he still couldn't recognize what it was, so he walked behind Li Zexuan and asked with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh, this thing Benhou calls it rubber, as for the market price, this Benhou is really not clear, after all, this thing has never appeared in Chang'an City~!"

Li Zexuan did not embarrass the official, but replied truthfully.

"It's... According to the regulations, the commercial tax must be collected according to 10% of the total value of the goods, how can it be good now~? ”

The middle-aged official suddenly said with a sad face.

Li Zexuan glanced in the direction of Yan Lide and Xiao Yu, and then said with a smile: "If you can't make up your mind, go ask Xiao Ge Lao!" However, Ben Hou can give you a reference price, these rubber Ben Hou was bought from the Wang family's fleet, a boat of four hundred runs~! Alright, go ask for it! ”

He doesn't mind paying more or less taxes, but now he is obviously doing things according to the rules, if he pays more or less, what will happen to the people behind him?

"Yes, Xia Guan understands, thank you for your advice!"

The middle-aged official arched his hand to Li Zexuan, and then turned away.

It didn't take long for him to turn back again, "Master Hou, the elder said that he would collect taxes according to the price you bought from the Wang family!" ”

In fact, Xiao Yu understands very well that since the rubber thing can make Li Zexuan attach so much importance to it, it means that its value is absolutely extraordinary, at least it must be higher than the value of a ship. But what if he understood? Only Li Zexuan can give full play to the value of this thing, and the rest of the people don't even know how to use it, so it is difficult to appraise its actual value.

"That's okay, you send someone up to take a look, it's a total of twenty boats, eight thousand guan, although it is eight hundred, if it's no problem, I'll open a note for you later, you just take this one and go to Yunshan to get the money!"

Li Zexuan smiled quietly, and then said to the middle-aged official. What he thought in his heart was that Old Man Xiao was quite face-saving, and he didn't help in vain just now!

"It's Master Hou, you stay here for a while, and the next official will let people come on the boat to watch~!"

The middle-aged official answered and went to make arrangements. It didn't take long for the inspection to be completed, so Li Zexuan gave them a slip of 800 guan and asked them to go to Yunshan Villa to get the money, he himself would not bring so much money with him, and he was not a psychopath.

The flotilla, laden with rubber, left the dock and sailed along the Bahe River in the direction of the upstream.

As soon as Li Zexuan got off the boat, he saw a group of students in camouflage uniforms coming from the north, who else could they be if it wasn't Li Tai and Cheng Chumo?

"Mountain Chief!"

"Mountain chief! What are your orders for us to come here~? ”

The group of students also saw Li Zexuan, and they immediately came over quickly and asked in a chattering voice.

Li Tai didn't speak, the little fat man was panting hot, and besides, he also knew what Li Zexuan was calling them for, didn't he see so many officials on the dock burying their heads and writing hard? Anyway, for him, escaping from Cheng Biting Jin's clutches, everything is excellent.

Meng Wenhao looked at the dense boats on the river, his face was full of excitement, but there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.

At this time, Li Zexuan looked at the students and said with a smile: "The southbound fleet organized by the imperial court has returned today, and His Majesty has asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to levy commercial taxes on all ships, because the amount of money involved is huge, and it is more troublesome to calculate, Xiao Ge Lao wants you to come over to help, complete the collection of commercial taxes as soon as possible, and let these merchant ships dock and unload as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as Li Zexuan's voice fell, the students suddenly became excited, if they want to talk about settling accounts, many of them are familiar with it, because a few months ago, when Yanhuang Academy was under construction, they also went to help him for a while, most of them were on the construction site to help Yan Shaoning calculate materials and consumption, etc.

Meng Wenhao heard Li Zexuan personally say that these ships were southbound fleets, and his body finally couldn't help but tremble, because he knew that his father was in a certain boat on the river, and after such a long time, it was the first time that their father and son were so close! He wanted to go to his father now, but where could he go to find this vast number of ships? What's more, he hasn't completed the task given to them by Li Zexuan yet!

"Auntie! Look! Is that brother? ”

Not far away, among the group of people who greeted relatives and friends, a little girl suddenly accused the group of students wearing camouflage uniforms behind her, and said to the middle-aged woman beside her.

"Don't talk nonsense, your brother is still studying in the academy at this time!"

The middle-aged woman didn't believe it, he patted his daughter's little head and said.

The mother and daughter are Meng Mu and Yaya.

"Auntie, that's really a brother, Yaya didn't lie to you~!"

Unexpectedly, after being reprimanded, the maid still pulled Meng Mu and said.

Meng's mother turned around suspiciously, looked in the direction of her daughter's finger, and she was stunned!

On the other side, Li Zexuan brought more than 40 students from a class to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu personally assigned them jobs. Li Zexuan seemed to see Meng Wenhao's emotional abnormality, he walked over and patted the latter's shoulder, and said in a low voice:

"Your father is a blessing in disguise this time, and the good days of your family will come soon! After Feng Zhihua's fleet docks in a while, you can leave first to reunite with your father, but don't forget, go back to the academy before dark~! ”

Meng Wenhao obviously didn't know about his father's official status, but this did not prevent him from being grateful to Li Zexuan, "Thank you Mountain Chief~!" ”

Meng Wenhao hugged Li Zexuan in a stirring mood.

The waiting time is always long, and it was about five minutes before it was Feng Zhihua's family's flotilla to dock, Meng Wenhao's eyes were sharp, and he took the initiative to follow the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to meet him.

After a while, he saw the man on the boat whose blood was thicker than water.

"Daddy..."

Because the weather was too hot, Meng Youliang was shirtless at the moment, and in this way, the dozen or so scars on his body were revealed, and after Meng Wenhao saw it, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but become sour.

"Hao'er? Why are you here~? And Yaya, Yulan, why are you all here~? ”

But it was Meng's mother and Yaya's mother and daughter, who saw Feng Zhihua's fleet docked at this moment, and they also followed, and the family, who had been separated for nearly five months, was reunited at the Bashang Wharf at this moment......
