Chapter 153: Sky-high taxes

Ji Lianduo rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "Why did I fall asleep?" ”

The two brothers nodded, they also felt that they had slept a lot, Ji Nuan stood up and stretched his waist: "It's safe here, I also squinted just now, now let Xue'er drive the wild boar over, let's go home!" ”

Summoning wild boars is a piece of cake for Xue'er, and after a while, seven big wild boars led more than sixty wild boar cubs, followed by five or six male wild boars with bodies nearly two meters long, as well as five or six roe deer and two deer appeared beside Ji Nuan, and the little girl beckoned her little hand: "Go, I'll take you back to your new home." ”

She hummed while walking in front, dozens of wild boars followed behind, Ji Lianqiu smiled helplessly: "We can't help anything, so we followed around the mountain." ”

"Big brother, we should have expected this to be the result, I am already very satisfied to be able to follow Nuan Nuan up the mountain and listen to her sing." Ji Lianxi quickened her pace and walked to her sister's side, her sister's singing is so good, she never gets tired of listening to it.

When they were about to arrive at the pig farm on the side of the mountain, the Ji Lianduo brothers ran over to open the door of the pig house first, and Gu Shuzhen had already arrived first, helping to put the wild boar pen in place, and telling the old couple of the Xu family how to feed the pigs.

"Madam, these are ...... Wild boar, will it run away! "The old lady of the Xu family is a little worried, wild boars are not as docile as domestic pigs, in case they run away or go crazy, their old arms and legs can't be resisted!

"Don't worry, my family used to raise wild boars, they won't run around casually, and they won't attack people, I'll let your son come over to stay with you for a few days, I'll come over during the day, don't be afraid!" Gu Shuzhen comforted Mrs. Xu.

Ji Lianqiu and Ji Lianxi picked up a few loads of water, Ji Nuan added some space well water in it, Gu Shuzhen rolled up her sleeves and gave the pigs feed, Ji Lianduo and Ji Nuan helped together, but the Xu family couldn't reach out, Mrs. Xu kept letting Gu Shuzhen rest, and they could do these jobs.

"Grandma Xu, we are all the same people, don't be too restrained, we will be a family in the future, everyone helps each other, and anything can be discussed." Ji Nuan is from modern times, there is no deep-rooted concept of hierarchy, everyone is equal in her eyes and heart, not to mention that the Ji family is a small family, that is, ordinary people, who to show the score.

Ji Ruinian told Ji Nuan that someone from the county government had come today, saying that officials from Qinghe Prefecture had come here to check the number of new workshops and shops, and asked their family to declare and pay taxes.

Paying taxes is due, Ji Nuan asked his father if he knew how much tax he needed to pay for a business as large as his oil mill? How can Ji Ruinian understand this, he heard about the payment of taxes by merchants for the first time today, and it was also the first time he dealt with officials, and his heart was still pounding!

"Tomorrow my father and I will listen, we will pay the tax if it is reasonable, if it is unreasonable, we will find someone to settle the relationship!" Ji Nuan didn't think about tax evasion, but if it was unreasonable, she wouldn't be at the mercy of others.

Xue'er told Ji Nuan not to be afraid that if the other party did too much, he would stab him with a golden needle, take away his memory, make him a fool, or let Ling'er beat the other party violently, there are ways to clean up people, don't do whatever you want!

With Xue'er's support, Ji Nuan didn't take this matter to heart, and the next day he changed into the seventh brother and wore small clothes and went to the yamen with his father, and the other merchants came to the adult, as long as the Ji family had a child, Ji Ruinian gave up: "I can't read, take my youngest son to help see the agreement or something, please forgive me." ”

Nowadays, many people in Jinquan County know that there is a Jijia oil mill, and many people know that tofu is the first made by their family, although there are others in Jinquan County and Muyang County who make tofu, but the taste is not comparable to Jijia tofu at all.

No matter what the merchants present thought in their hearts, no matter how much they looked down on the Ji family, they didn't want to be enemies with the Ji family on the surface, so they rushed at their family to get something unique, no one could compare to this, so they didn't dare to despise the Ji family.

After a long time, a group of people walked into the living room, led by a man about forty years old, who looked very kind, with stories in his eyes and smiles, Ji Nuan had a bad premonition, Xue'er also said that this kind of person seemed to be fair, but in fact it was not that simple.

The merchants got up to greet the adults, and the clerks of the county government introduced the merchants to the Lord Liu of Qinghe Prefecture, and when it was Ji Ruinian's turn to salute, Ji Nuan quietly stepped aside, and the Lord Liu glanced at Ji Ruinian, nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

"Whose child is this, how did you get in, let's go out and play!" The county government Tu clerk wants to go out in a hurry.

"Uncle, I'm the youngest son of the Ji family's oil mill, I can't find my way home alone, I have to wait for my father to take me back after finishing his errands, I'm scared to go out, can you let me stay? I promise I won't mess with it. Ji Nuan pretended to be pitiful, and the Lord Liu waved his hand and motioned for the clerk to hurry up and get down to business.

Tu Wenwen cleared his throat and began to speak at length, and after listening to it for a long time, Ji Nuan summed up several key points, first, you must pay taxes when you do business, and if you find out about tax evasion, you will be severely punished; Second, the standard of taxation is different according to the different businesses and benefits, and there is no need for everyone to compare with each other;

Third, those businesses that no one has ever done before, and they are particularly prosperous, and the taxes of industries closely related to the lives of the people will be heavier, which is stipulated by the imperial court, not Qinghe Prefecture, if the merchants have opinions, they can help reflect the situation, provided that they must pay taxes first, and the merchants who are very cooperative can enjoy such treatment.

"Master, I have a hunch that the tax to be paid by your family will definitely not be low, why do I think that the last rule is for your family!" Cher reminds the warm season in the space.

"Let's see what happens."

When it was Ji Nuan's turn, Ji Ruinian took it and handed it to his daughter and asked her how much silver the family needed to pay.

It was written in black and white on the paper that the Ji family needed to pay six hundred taels of silver per month, Ji Nuan snorted coldly in his heart, where is this tax collection is to raid the house! Although the four oil presses at home are running at the same time, and the soybean oil and soybean meal produced will have an income of nearly 700 taels when they are sold, how can they take away 90% of the profits from other people's hard work for a month, she has never heard that Daqi has such a heavy tax.

How much money can be left after the remaining money is removed from labor, wear and tear, and other expenses, so it is better to go back to the crescent ditch to make tofu!

"Shopkeeper Ji has seen the amount of silver that your oil mill needs to pay? Our rule of collecting taxes is to pay taxes for one year at a time, and you need to raise 7,200 taels of silver within three days and hand it over to the county government. Tu Shupi looked at Ji Ruinian with a smile, how could he not know that the Ji family's oil mill had just opened, and the Ji family came from the countryside and couldn't get more than seven thousand taels of silver!

Ji Nuan lowered her head and sneered, she felt that this time was a game, what they had to do was to respond to all changes with the same, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to show up and put forward conditions or goals.

If Ji Nuan guessed correctly, the other party must be eyeing the Ji family's oil mill, she can't take out the seven thousand taels of silver now, but Ji Nuan doesn't want to pay out in a daze, she won't be in a bad debt if she should take it, and no one who shouldn't take it should want to force her to comply.
