This spirit...... Xia Ke and the three of them were stunned, sluggish and sluggish.

His family is Yanqing, has he figured out the situation? As the old saying goes, the saying that the store bully the customer and the customer bully the owner has passed the test of time.

Is this store big enough in the imperial court?

In the face of the most invincible and powerful collaborator of the imperial court, she actually wanted to rob others of their deserved interests.

Xia Zitang wanted to reach out and touch Xia Yanqing's forehead, wanting to see if she had a fever and was confused. Otherwise, how could the little sister, who has always been smart and clever, say such dizzy words?

"Little sister, are you sure you're telling the truth, not kidding?" The little sister is older, Xia Zitang didn't touch her forehead after all, but asked.

Xia Yanqing glanced at him and said unhappily: "Of course it's true, do you look at me like a joke?" ”

"Ahem," Xia Ke coughed lightly twice, and said to Xia Yanqing very seriously, "Yan Qing, you probably didn't understand this matter, Yan Qing, the treasury is actually tight." You also said that it is a cooperative relationship with the general as a prisoner, since it is a cooperation, then there must be a master and an auxiliary, and if you make money, you will also have to share the court silver. ”

Girl, your idea is very problematic, it is completely ignoring the court and ignoring the rhythm of the emperor, which is very dangerous.

Xia Yanqing was very innocent, spread his hands and said: "There are many ways to divide the silver, it doesn't necessarily have to be mixed into the business, and I didn't say not to give the silver." ”

Xia Zixi wiped his forehead exaggeratedly, "Fortunately, little sister, you didn't plan to swallow the share that the court deserves." ”

Xia Yanqing rolled his eyes again: "How could I think that?" Do you think you have a long life? ”

Xia Ke shook her head secretly, after all, she is a girl, she is young, and many things are taken for granted.

"You have to understand that you have to deal with the imperial court, and if you will cooperate with a private workshop to develop glass, how can you give you the initiative? Naturally, it is the imperial court that sets the rules and regulations for cooperation, and you are not allowed to talk about conditions and methods. Xia Ke reminded tactfully.

Of course Xia Yanqing understands this, but ......

"My daughter just has one intention now. The way of cooperation and the distribution of benefits can be discussed, and if it can be discussed, continue to do the next thing. If the discussion is not appropriate, then there will be no cooperation. ”。

At most, she inquired slowly, searched for skilled craftsmen among the people, that is, it took more time, and she took this matter down by herself.

She further explained, "The matter of doing business really can't be handed over to the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, if the private business with an annual income of one hundred taels is handed over to the imperial court, I am afraid that when it is settled at the end of the year, there will not even be a profit of ten taels. ”

Xia Yanqing pursed his lips, if he did it for a longer time, he was afraid that a good business would also lose money.

Obviously, none of the three father and son of the Xia family were idealists, and even Xia Zitang, a martial artist, instantly understood what Xia Yanqing meant.

Xia Yanqing secretly sighed that dealing with smart people is simple, and only then did he say that at the beginning, the three fathers and sons are all gods who know each other.

"As for the share of cooperative business, the same is true. This is divided into silver, who knows how many people will handle it, and how many formalities will be in between? Rather than this, it is better for the imperial court to set a separate tax standard for cooperative business, and change the division of silver into a tax. ”

The business of cooperation with the imperial court naturally had to be supervised by the imperial court officials. Finally, there is such a position that comes from money, and the relevant departments will artificially involve more officials and more institutions, which is called strengthening supervision.

Whether it is Pingli's supervision, or when the real settlement is made, so many people and so many thoughts, what should she, the nominal business manager, do?

If you are too strict and too serious, you are offending others and cutting off your own way of life.

And turning a blind eye and allowing those people to enrich their own pockets will not only suffer losses in their own business, but also be suspected of complicity.

She doesn't want to do a good business, and she has nothing to do to plant a time bomb for herself.

Rather than this, it is better to pay this part of the silver to the imperial court in the form of taxes.

The imperial court has a strict supervision of taxation, and those who stretch out their hands on it can't find it, and once it is found, it is a big crime of raiding the house and losing their heads.

Therefore, in all dynasties, it is really rare for people who dare to stretch out their hands on the taxation of the imperial court.

Xia Yanqing's words made Xia Ke nod again and again.

Xia Zixi was also very surprised, "I didn't expect my little sister to understand the official/world so clearly, I really underestimate you." ”

Xia Yanqing raised his chin proudly, "That is, my father and brother are court officials, and Qingyunzhai has Shao Gongzi as a shareholder, but the officials and officials who often go to shops and kilns to run errands, shopkeepers and stewards have to be flattered with smiling faces, and there is a lot of filial piety for tea money." From this, we can see what kind of attitude and practice these people have when facing ordinary businessmen. ”

In such a large glass industry, if the continuous kiln is successfully developed, and then put into production and promote the technology in various semicolons, how much benefit will there be?

When it comes to the interests and income of the big guys, and there is the righteousness of the court as the banner, Xia Ke, a court official, has to stand aside and act according to the faces of most people.

At that point, the supervisory position in the glass store will immediately become a fat shortage, and everyone will rush to get this position.

At that time, her business will become a lamb to the slaughter, and there will be no bones left to be eaten, and it will eventually end in bankruptcy.

Xia Ke thought about it, and finally nodded: "That's what you said, then ...... Write a note to the emperor for your father, and explain your intention to seek cooperation and the way to divide the income in the note. ”

Xia Yanqing shook his head: "No need." Everyone knows this kind of gray area and gray income in officialdom, but no one is willing to reveal it. It's better not to mix it with my father, you should not know about this matter, I will contact Master Qu myself. ”

After the handover of the materials for the development of the telescope, there was a discussion afterwards. Xia Yanqing and Qu Jiang are also acquaintances.

A lot of words, she can say it as if she doesn't understand the world. But it was Qu Jiang who was really embarrassed, I am afraid that he was a little embarrassed when he told the emperor about the unsightly deeds of officialdom.

It was the first time that Xia Ke and his son had heard the words "gray area, gray income", but it was very strange that they understood.

The next day, Xia Yanqing did not rush to contact Qu Jiang, but carefully summarized her cooperation intentions, the craftsman specialties she sought, and the details of all aspects.

When Xia Yanqing returned home after Shen Zheng, there were three small rattan boxes filled with glazed tiles at the end of her carriage.

Probably Xia Ke also remembered to watch the glazed tiles made by Xia Yanqing, and now he went down to the back house very early, and when the sky was still bright.

Because it was still early, only Xia Yanqing was in Mrs. Jiang's room, and the mother and daughter were talking.
