If they are not sick, it means that their medical skills are not very good, and they just want to smash their own signboards.

Qi Qingchu lay on his bed, frowning slightly, with one hand on his side, it seemed that his illness was quite serious and he was very unwell.

The people in the Qi Mansion were very nervous, and they all gathered around Qi Qingchu outside the room, of course, they didn't dare to disturb him, so they could only watch from afar.

Both doctors prescribed some specious tonics, and said some of them, probably because the cause of the illness was because of the evil wind entering the body, and the autumn was irritable. Eat more nourishing things, and don't say anything more.

In fact, if you insist on them talking nonsense, they won't be able to come up with anything.

Okay, after several doctors took turns to watch for a while, they all said that there was no major problem, as long as they had a good rest at home.

Therefore, today Qi Qingchu should not have gone to the court, and today is actually a very special time, because the discussion between the DPRK and China on the collection of commercial taxes and the formulation of shop rules has reached a full swing, and the confrontation between ministers in the court can be described as a sword of words.

As the capital, the entire political, economic and cultural center of the Chu State concentrates the most complex interpersonal relationships, and most of the relationships between aristocratic families and wealthy merchants are very close.

If those shops are moved, it is equivalent to their interests are moved.

In fact, the minister's income is very limited, but to maintain the livelihood of a large family, it is far from enough to rely on those income.

Therefore, most of the aristocratic ministers have some additional income such as real estate and real estate shops at home, and sometimes the wife's dowry is part of their property.

So these shops, whether they are doing business on their own or renting them out, have quite a lot of loopholes to exploit.

But at this time, if someone clearly proposes to revise the commercial tax law, can there be not much involved? If you uproot it, you might be able to dig something out.

It is precisely because of this that many ministers in the court have refused to accept this new round of commercial tax laws for fear that their secrets will be exposed or their property will be lost.

The commercial tax is being revised year by year, and it is becoming more and more meticulous and strict.

Don't you see who is doing this?

Qi Qingchu.

The means are quite neat and neat, and he always does things vigorously and resolutely, and he doesn't have to worry about any worries, because His Majesty will support him.

The commercial tax law has been changed year by year, and the taxes of businessmen have been increased year after year, and many small self-employed businesses can no longer do it, so they have no choice but to return to their hometowns to work in agriculture.

In fact, for Qi Qingchu, he is very supportive of the development of commerce, but the chaos of commercial development has not been effectively rectified and improved.

From the remote areas of some merchant families continue to expand their power, expand their power and even collude with officials and businessmen have such things, then the development of this business will go to an uncontrollable, unpredictable stage, it is precisely because of the realization of the future direction, so Qi Qingchu calmly explained this point to Emperor Gao De, got the support of the other party, so he can carry out drastic reforms, there is no worries.

The national tax law has formulated a general framework and will be implemented in accordance with this framework, but as if everything will have a starting point at the beginning, Qi Qingchu formulated a higher-level, more specific and more perfect commercial tax law to unite others, and then chose to implement it from the present, from the capital, and then expand the situation step by step, step by step to expand the influence, so as to promote it to the whole country.

Qi Qingchu's goal is here.

Today he hid, not because he didn't want to go to court, but because he had other plans.

In fact, if you think about it, it's good that he hid out, because he has seen too many dog-eat-dog scenes in the court, and he already feels very tired.

Everyone gathered outside his house, Qi Qingchu knew, but his face did not show it, and calmly showed the appearance of a patient.

Explain to the people that he wants to be alone, and the others will retreat out of sight.

That way he would have plenty of time to think about other things.

Last night, I saw the British prince, and after some scrutiny, I didn't see anything unusual. What is certain is that the man did not know that he had learned his true identity. After he enters the Hanlin Academy, they will have more opportunities to meet, don't rush, take your time. In addition, last night's food was actually really good, at least it was much better than the weird taste he had eaten before, and it seems that that person is not without merit at all, he gave her this shop and let him run it, and it is okay to be able to run it like this.

If Li Jicai knew that Qi Qingchu's evaluation of her was okay, she would probably be crazy with joy.

The room is lit with a calming incense, and the faint green smoke curls up, which makes people feel a lot more soothing.

Qi Qingchu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows, he slept too late last night, so that he still felt a little tired today, he has always been very self-disciplined, since he took leave today, then be presumptuous!

Just as Qi Qingchu relaxed her mood and was ready to sleep well, there was a knock on the door with a "tuk tuk".

Suddenly, Qi Qingchu frowned, didn't he just tell him not to disturb him? He pursed his lips, put away the displeasure in his eyes, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

The people outside waited for a while, and when they heard the son inside let him in, they pushed open the door lightly and walked in slowly.

"Childe ......"

"What?"

"Mr. Xi and Miss Luo heard that you were sick and came to visit you, do you see?"

Needless to say? Didn't he already explain that he didn't need anyone to bother?

"Madame, I mean you'd better see you yet." The subordinate trembled and added, in fact, he also knew his son-in-law's temper and knew that he should not disturb his son-in-law at this time, but there was no way, Mrs. asked him to come.

"......" Qi Qingchu was silent for a while, and finally agreed, so he asked people to bring people over.

If they drag, they will inevitably break in at the end, so it is better to see them earlier, and then send them away, and save them from swaying in front of you.

The next man let out a big sigh, and then hurriedly bowed down and withdrew, he was not from the Gongzi Courtyard in the first place, so let him do this, he was already afraid.

After Qi Qing and the others left, he got up and tidied up a little, and then sat down at the table, quietly waiting for his guests to come over.

Xi Zien didn't expect that he would be able to meet Luo Lianfang when he came to the door.

Thinking about it later, it is normal, Qi Qingchu has not been sick a few times throughout the year, and suddenly claimed to the public that he was sick, how could he not cause others to be nervous?

What's more, the relationship between Luo Lianfang and Qi Qingchu is tsk.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Luo? Fortunately, I will be honored. Xi Zien saw that he couldn't hide, so he simply greeted him generously.

Luo Lianfang glanced at Xi Zien very proudly, it was not that he was embarrassed by anything, but that the nobles in the capital basically couldn't get used to him, Xi Zien was a playboy prodigal child, who behaved badly and was dissolute, so it was inevitable that he would be looked down upon, and Luo Lianfang was no exception.

Xi Zien didn't care about the rude attitude of others towards him, and laughed it off every time.

Seeing that Luo Lianfang's chin was about to be lifted to the sky, she smiled and said, "Qingchu is estimated to have someone to report over there, let's sit in the hall for a while, right?" ”

The two of them stepped into the Qi Mansion before and after, so Xi Zien took the initiative to say to Luo Lianfang.

Luo Lianfang nodded, and then the two of them went to the side hall to wait.

For beautiful women, Xi Zien has always been very patient, and he will take special care, he naturally knows Qi Qingchu's habits so well.

Similarly, Luo Lianfang also had a good relationship with Qi Qingchu because Xi Zien had a good relationship, so she had a lot of tolerance for him.

In this way, under the deliberate care of Mrs. Qi, Xi Zien and Luo Lianfang were able to successfully enter Qi Qingchu's room.

Qi Qingchu's room is in the westernmost small courtyard, a row of side rooms, all of which are open, and there are about five or six rooms.

It was all changed according to his own wishes, and four of the rooms were filled with books and official documents. With only a simple bed, a coffee table, bookshelves and wardrobes all placed together, the whole room looks cramped but not messy, and someone will regularly clean it up.

So this also decided that Qi Qingchu's study and his bedroom were together, and other courtiers once came to Qi Qingchu's study and found that Qi Qingchu's life was not only simple and simple, but also very hard-working, and couldn't help but admire it, and then publicized it, which made Qi Qingchu's reputation icing on the cake.

"Qingchu, are you alright?!" Luo Lianfang hadn't entered the house yet, but the words had already come out first.

Qi Qingchu turned his head, still holding the teacup in his hand, and when he saw that it was Luo Lianfang, he nodded at her and said, "It's okay." ”

"Hey! Is it because of the food at that shop last night? I think the boss is doing okay, it's quite hearty, and I see that this shouldn't be drugged in it, right? ”

"Drugged? What store? As soon as Luo Lianfang heard that it was related to Qi Qingchu, she instantly became nervous.

"Ah yes, I talked to ...... last night" Xi Zien was interrupted by Qi Qingchu before he finished speaking.

"No, the doctor said it was just because he didn't have a good rest, it's okay." Qi Qingchu really didn't know if he should sew up Xi Zien's mouth, and say everything outside, is there something wrong with this person?

Didn't you think you had caused him enough trouble? Just because he didn't tell him about Suiyuanju, he tried his best to make trouble for himself, which was really ignorant.
