"Then why don't you arrange some manual inspections?" Karon asked lightly, "Is there only such a few people in the Tax Inspection Department?"

"The guest officer is from outside, right? I probably don't know much about the situation in our northwest. The shopkeeper www.biquge.info said with a smile, "Our tax inspection in Qingyang is the most powerful, and the city guard Mo has strictly ordered the people of the inspection department not to make too much effort to inspect this city gate, and most of the people who really want to evade taxes will not come to this city gate, many of them have drilled the trail or walked around the city overnight, this is just a formality, and the people of the inspection department have focused on those who specialize in smuggling." ”

"Oh, you're smuggling a lot here?" asked Caron, intrigued.

"It stands to reason that our taxes in the northwest are lower than those in the rest of the empire, and the tax evasion and smuggling situation should not be serious, but there are always some outlaws who want to smuggle things like salt and wine that require monopoly concessions, so this is also a repeated ban. The shopkeeper did not shy away from saying that it was no secret anyway, and the daily reports of the "Northwest Star" and "Northwest Business Daily" more or less reported on all aspects of the current world politics and business conditions, and it was not unseemly.

"Oh, I see. Caron didn't intend to end, and tried to change the topic: "I've traveled all the way, and I can see that there is an endless stream of caravans along the way, and in a few years from now, this northwest will change really a lot, and it seems that this Qingyang is also very peaceful under the rule of Lord Li." ”

"Hehe, guest officer, you are probably from afar, right? Look at the guest officer's dress as if he came from the grassland, Lord Li said that he has a lot of opportunities, he doesn't spend much time in Qingyang, like the things you just asked, Lord Li will not care, these things are under the jurisdiction of our Qingyang Mansion City Shoufu, although our City Guard Lord Mo is a little more windy, but he is really a good official, but he is a little stricter, no matter who is in his hands, no matter who he is, he has to obediently obey orders, I heard that even Lord Li has to respect him a little. Under the deliberate cultivation of Li Wufeng and Mo Lun, this Qingyang is very open, and his comments on current affairs are also modeled after Yanjing. In particular, this car and ship shop has more contact with people, and it is a good channel for external communication.

"Oh, do you dare not listen to Master Li?" Caron was a little surprised, he had never heard of an instance of a subordinate daring to disobey his direct superior, especially in these hierarchical bureaucrats, Li Wufeng was a typical example of this, and it was even more unbelievable that this phenomenon would occur.

"This villain doesn't know, but the villain only knows that in the past, Lord Li didn't care much about the affairs of this place, and now I'm afraid that he won't care about it. "The shopkeeper is also a smooth person, stretching out his tongue and saying casually, but if you talk about it any further, it will be a little taboo, and besides, the people are civilized, and I don't say that you can casually talk about the things of the lord of the castle guard and the lord of the festival.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was a little evasive of the topic, Caron also knew that it would not be easy to find out something from these shrewd and cunning people, so he also changed to another topic: "Boss, I have only been in the future for a few years, and the changes in Qingyang are really huge, it seems that there are no houses outside the city at all, but now it is good, row upon row, and the prosperity of Qingyang can be seen." ”

"Hehe, guest officer, you are wrong, this is not a house, they are all temporary sheds, which can be dismantled at any time, our Qingyang Construction Department and the War Readiness Administration have long had a joint regulation that no fixed buildings shall be built within 300 meters outside the city wall, and no buildings shall be built within 100 meters of the city wall except for the political axe building. The shopkeeper explained with a smile, "My house is made of wooden planks, and if it really needs to be demolished, it will only take an hour or two to dismantle it." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Caron pretended to be surprised, but in fact, he couldn't understand it very well, this is considered from the perspective of military defense, if it is allowed to be built to the side of the city wall, and the war starts, it is convenient to attack and use these fixed buildings as cover, which can greatly reduce the losses of the attacking side, which is of course not good for the defender, not to mention that once the house is built, when it is really going to war, it will have to demolish these houses, and it is not easy for ordinary people to repair and build houses, which will be demolished all at once, which will naturally cause the resentment of these people, so at the beginning there were such strict regulations that the best choice for the world to avoid this phenomenon。

"It's not clear, maybe it's because the government is trying to make it easier to repair the city wall. The shopkeeper is obviously not very aware of the mystery of this, and presumably some officials are not willing to make these long-term ideas public, and foreign invasion can reach the northwestern capital?

"The guest officer is here to inspect our northwest, right?" Seeing that Caron was thoughtful, the shopkeeper also asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, how do you know?" Caron was taken aback, this guy's eyes are a little too poisonous, could it be a sitting probe from the northwest?

"Hehe, the guest officer came from the grassland, but there are only two of them, and your accent is not very different from the Mott people, Luope, and even the Tubu and Qiuer people on our side, and you have come to Qingyang so far but you don't bring anything, this is not to inspect our northwest business and business, what else can you do? I have seen a lot of people like you, guest officer, from the Indean side, Luzon, Liberty City, Comini, The merchants from Meli were like this at first, and they didn't believe that our business in the northwest was thriving, so they had to come here to find out in person to be convinced, and according to me, it was a waste of delay. ”

"Wasn't that the merchant of Merry like this last time, he walked for more than a month to get here, and after watching it for several days, he beat his chest with regret, and said that he would have come directly with the goods if he knew it, and that the spice was a good commodity in our place, and he would have to delay it for another three months?" I advised him at the time, don't regret it here, if you have that time, you might as well go home immediately, the price of spices on our side will not fall for a while, hurry up and take a trip, and you can catch up. Sure enough, more than two months the man ran back with the pack team, although the price has fallen a little, but he asked for a trip to Bonan Mansion, or sold a good price, and then carried a few loads of porcelain back, the second time again, people are also a lot of spirit, the pack has doubled, and it is estimated that he has made a lot of money. ”

Caron only put down a stone in his heart at this time, it turned out that this guy regarded himself as a businessman who came here for the first time to explore the wind, and he thought that he was really seen by the other party again, hehe replied to the other party with a smile: "Boss, since this money is so easy to make, why do you want to keep this small shop, why don't you buy a few cars and horses yourself, and do a few businesses yourself, isn't it a lot more than now?"

"Hehe, guest officer, you really know how to tell jokes, these horses and cars are light, how much does it cost? According to the current price, a good pack horse will cost at least 30 gold coins, a car will have at least 130 gold coins or more, if the car of the big workshops in Jinzhou has to throw 20 to 30 gold coins, it depends on whether it can be queued, even if the price of the car produced by Vito is around 120 gold coins, the guest officer calculates, even if you form a small caravan, ten pack horses must have it, then you have to have more than 300 gold coins, if you want to use a car, it will be more expensive, even if you have five cars have to pay more than 600 gold coins, plus the horse used to pull the car, at least 800 gold coins can be, this is not counting the cost of goods。 The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile and said: "The most popular ones in the west of our Tang River are silk and tea, but the guest officer knows that although these two profits are high, the cost is the same, and a few horses of silk are worth the entire income of a family for two or three years." This is not counting the cost of hiring porters and handymen, and besides, although the security in our northwest is good, but out of the area controlled by Lord Li, who can say clearly what it is? This natural disaster [***] is something that no one can predict, and if you plant a somersault, I am afraid that you will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life, and I have seen many examples of this kind. Therefore, I still guard my small shop, and I can live comfortably in drought and flood to ensure harvest. ”

Caron didn't expect the shopkeeper to calculate this business matter so thoroughly, it seems that everyone can think about this way to make a fortune, but if it is to be implemented, not ordinary people dare to take these risks.

"As for the guest officer who has funds like this, it is natural to stop talking, and when the guest officer takes a good look at the prosperity of our Qingyang, he will know that our Qingyang is a paradise for the rich, what you want, as long as you want, there are all here, even you can't think of it, we still have Qingyang, I'm afraid you will be happy if you live for a few days." The shopkeeper with an envious look looked at Caron silently, squeezing out a smile and flattering.

"Well, it's time to go to the city when you're full, and you have to see the changes in this Qingyang Mansion City in the past few years. In just a few years, the border town of Qingyang has become the central city of the entire Middle East continental junction, and its radiation and influence have spread to the north to the Beiling Seashore, south to Luzon, west to the West Tengger Grassland and Senge Plain. Maybe entering the city will bring you more surprises.

The servant next to him had already dropped a few silver coins, which made the shopkeeper on the side laugh from ear to ear, and the man was also busy leading the two horses with him, and watched the wicked man get on his horse and gallop towards the city gate, and then he happily returned to the shop. Telling his mother-in-law and his companion to greet the guests, the shopkeeper went into the back room and slipped out of the back door quietly, seeing that no one was paying attention around, and ran out as soon as he slipped away.
