Approaching the end of the year, although it is only the sixteenth of the lunar month, but the people who are good at budgeting, at this time they have begun to purchase New Year's goods, and then delay a few days, the price of many New Year's goods is allowed to rise, the small market street is the most prosperous street in the outer city, people come and go on the street, a prosperous scene. *.*.*/*

The hawkers' shouting and selling sound adds a bit of lively scene to the street, and the hawkers' shouting in the capital is absolutely a must, some of the voices are thin and high, some are low and deep, and there are also the kind of high and low, "Wonton feed, boil!" "Hard noodles, gluttony." "Boiled and fried, fried tofu." "Gourd, Ice Tower!".

Kangxi looked around with a smile on his face, since he wanted to understand the situation of the store being exploited and blackmailed, he couldn't go to the big store, although he was in the ninth level, but he was still very clear about the general situation in the capital, how could he not have a background and backing to open a big store in the capital? Those scoundrels probably didn't dare to blackmail those big stores, and after wandering around for a while, Kangxi entered a cloth village with a small face.

As soon as he entered the door, the guy greeted him with enthusiasm, and when he saw the dress of Kangxi and the others, he said affectionately: "The distinguished guest is here, please come inside, drink a cup of hot tea and warm up." ”

Kangxi glanced at it reservedly, and saw that there were six or seven guests inside who were choosing fabrics, looking at the clothes, and the ordinary people, it was estimated that it was almost the New Year, and they came to tear some cloth for the children and sew new clothes.

After the guy asked someone to serve tea, he bowed down and said: "Look at your old posture, you are a rich and noble family, what do you always want to see?" ”

Kangxi glanced at Ide and said, "Go and see, what's good?" Then he said to the man: "The shopkeeper of your shop, do you have leisure?" ”

"Look at what the master said. ^//^"The guy estimated that he had met a big customer, and his eyes smiled into a slit, "If you don't invite a distinguished guest like you, how can you be free?" Please sit down, and the little one will go and ask the shopkeeper Zhao immediately. ”

Zhao Can, the shopkeeper wearing a melon skin hat, came quickly, and after taking a seat, he said tentatively: "Dare to ask what the distinguished guest is called?" ”

"Call me Master Jin." Kangxi said kindly: "Your store's business is still booming. ”

"Let Jin Ye see it." Zhao Can said with a smile: "Towards the end of the year, if anyone has a little spare money on hand, who doesn't sew new clothes, this is all a piecemeal business." ”

"What I said is that the New Year is approaching, and wearing new clothes makes people look a little happy, and I have asked someone to see the goods." Kangxi said and changed the topic, "The business in the capital looks good, and I also plan to shop in the intermittent shop, I don't know if the business in the capital is easy to do?" ”

Zhao Can listened to Kangxi's authentic Beijing accent, and couldn't help but wonder: "Jin Ye is not from the capital?" ”

"Oh, I'm from Guanwai." Kangxi said casually; "When I was a teenager, I spent some time in the capital."

Seeing that this Jin Ye was graceful, Zhao Can couldn't guess his origin, but he estimated that it should be a big customer, so he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

When Kangxi heard this, he met Kanye together, and he really wanted him to say this, but he was afraid that he had finished buying the cloth, and before he finished speaking, he coughed lightly and interrupted his words before saying: "I just dined in the restaurant, and I heard that there are a lot of miscellaneous expenses in the shops in the capital, I don't know if it is true?" ”

As soon as he heard the mention of miscellaneous expenses, Zhao Can's face was a little ugly, the small market is prosperous, although the business is good, there are also a lot of miscellaneous expenses, especially the number tax and the tax, these two taxes are not levied by the government, but by the splashes on the street, and after glancing at Kangxi, he smiled and said: "The world is as black as a crow, and it is not the same everywhere." ”

Kangxi pondered for a moment before he said: "Originally, I heard that the capital has implemented some miscellaneous tax innovation, isn't it to abolish these miscellaneous taxes?" ”…,

"Jin Ye doesn't know." Zhao Can glanced at Yide, who was looking at the fabric, and said with a wry smile: "The miscellaneous tax innovation, which was launched by the government, our small shops are somewhat affordable, but other miscellaneous taxes are rising, and there is nothing." ”

Before the words fell, the curtain of the door opened, and four green-skinned students walked in, and then two more young people came in, but the guards who were watching outside the door were not relieved and followed two in.

Zhao Can looked at the four people who came in, and couldn't help muttering secretly, the ground in the capital is evil, saying that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, and he hurriedly said to Kangxi: "Jin Ye sit down for a while." As he spoke, he got up and bowed his hand to the four of them, and said with a smile: "The third master is really a believer." ”

"Zhao's shopkeeper's business is booming." The leader called the third sentence also arched his hand and said: "Is the money ready?" ”

"I'm ready." Zhao Can smiled and said, "Third Master Xing, please sit here, I'll take it with my guy right away." ”

As soon as he heard the money, Kangxi couldn't help but glance at the four people up and down, wondering in his heart, this is the collection of miscellaneous fees? It's all the same as business, have they all formed rules?

"The politeness of the shopkeeper Zhao." Xingsan's chin raised slightly, and said, "The year is over, and we are also busy, so we won't delay." ”

At this time, the guy had already run up quickly and handed over two taels of silver tickets, and Xing San looked at it, flicked it slightly, and gave it up

With a smile, he said with a smile: "I wish the shopkeeper Zhao a prosperous year ahead." ”

"Thanks to the third master's auspicious words, you are good to go." Zhao Can returned the salute with a smile and bowed to send the four of them out.

Seeing this situation, Kangxi commanded in a low voice: "Send someone to follow, don't alarm them." ”

When Zhao Can sat back, Kangxi hesitated and asked, "These people are the ones who collect miscellaneous fees?" It looks like a businessman. ”

"They're not businessmen." Zhao Can said a word, and then stopped talking.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there no royal law?" Kangxi skewed again.

Zhao Can sighed lightly and said, "They are Wang Fa." As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "I don't know what Jin Ye buys cloth for?" ”

"Naturally, it's about making clothes." Kangxi was no longer interested, stood up, and said, "Reward him with two taels of silver." ”

When he went out, Kangxi's face was a little cold, Guan Bao and Laxi knew that he was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to make a sound, there were many people on the street, and they didn't dare to be carelessly distracted, so they took a few steps before and after, grouped him in the middle, and cautiously paid attention to the situation around him.

After walking a short distance, Kangxi entered a porcelain shop again, and learned that the situation was similar, so he asked the two families, and they were all out of the same way, and he was not in the mood to visit again, so he ordered someone to inform Yinzhen to rush to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army.

Then, he went straight to the yamen of the infantry commander, and walked out of the place less than a stone's throw away, when there was a sudden commotion on the street in front of him, and then the crowd began to scatter and flee.

As soon as Guan Bao saw this situation, he immediately hugged Kangxi into a store with a group of guards, Kangxi was in a bad mood, and when he entered the store, his face was even more cold, and he pushed away the guards in front of him and walked to the door to watch.
