Chapter 235 Tax

There are many poems about the Double Ninth Festival in September, and many of them are even famous sentences. Even half an illiterate Xiang Zixi can recite a few sentences casually, which shows how important this Double Ninth Festival is to Chinese people.

The weather seems to be good and sunny, which is really suitable for going out for a walk.

Just after dawn, Xiang Zixi sat lazily in the living room for dinner, and Jin Haoxuan came in from the outside with sweat. Since the news of Xiang Zixi's last accident came back, Xin Zeyang has been practicing archery like crazy. In his words, he has lost the best opportunity to practice martial arts, but he is always a man, so he has to take on the responsibility of protecting the people around him.

If you can't practice martial arts, then practice arrows!

I don't know how many ordinary bows and arrows have been broken, and I don't know how many arrows have been shot out. Several times, Xiang Zixi wanted to tell him that he really didn't need to work so hard. In fact, he had the ability to protect himself. But Xin Zeyang seemed to have drilled into the Niujiao Hutong and couldn't drag it out.

Over time, Xiang Zixi ignored him and let him toss around.

I didn't expect that Xin Zeyang's archery has made amazing progress these days.

At one time, three people looked boredly at Xin Zeyang in the yard practicing arrows in the hot summer. The little fat and idle egg pain made Xin Zeyang shoot the sparrow to play. Unexpectedly, Xin Zeyang really shot down! This move surprised the three women!

Xin Zeyang is a boy among the four, so there is nothing wrong with practicing more self-defense skills. Therefore, everyone is not surprised.

As soon as Xin Zeyang stepped into the living room, he lay down on the table and said to Zixi, "Hurry up and eat something. I'm going to enjoy the chrysanthemums later!" Little fat and little fat fat quarreled before dawn to prepare. I'm really convinced of them! I'm so sleepy that it's time for me to sleep in the morning, okay?"

Xin Zeyang smiled warmly: "Who told you to sleep so late all day?"

"What can I do? It's all become a habit!" Xiang Zixi leaned and held her chin with her hand and said, "I used to be energetic in the middle of the night for many years, and I was sleepy in the early morning!" I didn't expect that this problem has not been corrected so far!"

"Would you like to go to bed for a while?" Xin Zeyang looked at Xiang Zixi with concern. This woman was really sleepy and didn't even have an appetite for breakfast.

"No, I guess I will be dragged by two fat girls when I lie down!" Xiang Zixi waved his hand feebly: "Since the two of them are so interested, let's go out for a walk!"

"Okay, I'll change my clothes!" Xin Zeyang put down his bow and arrow and turned back to his room.

The house rented to Zixi is a simple courtyard, with three main rooms and one in the east wing and one in the west wing. Xiang Zixi and Xin Zeyang live in the north room, with a room in the middle as the living room. The little fat and fat live in the west wing, and the east wing room is used as the kitchen.

The yard is so small that it is almost negligible. It belongs to the kind of simple residential house that can't be simpler.

At this time, Ma Xiucai's voice sounded outside: "Is Miss Xiang at home?"

Xiang Zixi's strength: "I'm at home!" Please come in!"

Ma Xiucai came in from the outside happily. Today, Ma Xiucai changed into a linen robe, reflecting the weakness of his thin body. Xiang Zixi said in his heart, how weak is it to be to be so thin? Among the men I know, they all have a perfect figure. The most upright figure is Ji Yan, whose strong muscles, natural and healthy skin color, that feel, tut, that's the perfect figure in the eyes of a real woman!

"Now that the people outside have set off, let's go out!" Ma Xiucai said happily, "It's a nice day today, and you can go out for a walk."

Little fat and little fat came out of the kitchen and came to the living room. When he saw Ma Xiucai, he said, "Yo! Ma Xiucai, it was reported early enough today! Where are you going to take our lady today?"

"It's nonsense! Do you talk to your neighbors like this?" Xiang Zixi stretched out his fingers and pointed to his two maids: "Aren't you quarreling to eat out at noon? Are you all ready?"

The burden in Yangyang's hand said, "It's all ready!" Let's go out for some ** wine later, and we can go!"

At this time, Xin Zeyang also changed his clothes from the room and looked at Zixi, who really had no appetite to eat, and immediately said, "Let's go out and eat!" I saw a good pastry a few days ago, and many ladies nearby like to buy it there!"

When I heard that there was delicious food, Xiang Zixi finally got a little interested. She got up lazily and came to the yard and looked at Ma Xiucai with a shy face behind her back: "Let's go, let's go together!"

After saying that, Xiang Zixi took the lead and walked out.

Lock the door and go straight to the pastry shop mentioned by Xin Zeyang. As soon as she entered the door, Xiang Zixi was attracted by a gust of fragrance. She pointed to a few cakes that had just been baked and said to the boss, "Wake a few pieces for me!"

The boss eagerly wrapped the pastry and put it in Xiang Zixi's hand. He took a few pieces of money from the little fat hand and sighed, "Well, life is really not going around now! With such a little thing, there is not much left!"

Xiang Zixi's heart moved: "Boss, your business is good! Why do you still say that?"

The boss pointed to the pastries that had just been put on the chopping board for sale and said, "You see, bake it in half an hour to remove the capital, wages, store money, and leave a penny and eight cents. Well, the tax rose again a few days ago, but the price can't be raised. It's not easy to do business!"

Xiang Zixi frowned gently: "What? Do you think the tax has gone up again?

"Yes! In fact, taxes have risen a lot! Compared with three years ago, it has risen by almost three times! It is said that it will rise in a few days! I really don't know how to live this life!" The boss shook his head and sighed, "I don't know if this store can continue to open at that time!" So now there are some to eat, and a few of you can eat vigorously. Maybe this store won't be able to open in a few days!"

Xiang Zixi tightened his eyebrows and said to himself, "What on earth does Lin Muyang want to do! The treasury is full enough, but it still needs to increase taxes. Is it that he is not willing to succumb to the south to win the north?

Ma Xiucai didn't hear Zixi's words clearly and asked blankly, "What is the north?"

"Ah, nothing!" Xiang Zixi changed the topic and said to Xin Zeyang, "It tastes really good. Let's buy more to eat on the road!"

Xin Zeyang nodded and meekly bought a few more bags according to Xiang Zixi's instructions. Le's boss thanked him repeatedly.

Xiang Zixi was walking on the road while eating pastries, but he kept thinking about it. Lin Muyang is a smart person. He should know how big the side effects of tax increase will be. Is it possible that it is necessary to rely on tax increase to maintain the operation of the treasury? What on earth is he busy with?

Thinking of Xiahou Junhao and the current Jin Xiaoxiao, the former Princess Ziqing, guessed whether Lin Muyang also wants to split from the burning country and seize power? It seems wrong. This burning country is nominally the emperor's, but in fact it is Lin Muyang's! Didn't he say anything? I also heard from the people that Lin Muyang seemed to have the secret order in his hands, which was to restrain the current emperor. It can be seen that the emperor of Zhuoguo likes Lin Muyang, which is not a little bit!

So, is it for Jin Haoxuan of the dark country? Yes, after all, they are a compatriot and seem to have said the past to help their own brothers. But the economy of the dark country is not so difficult now! When I wrote a letter and sent it to the Yi family in the dark country, I didn't hear that the dark country was short of money!

So excluding these two factors, is it aimed at Yao Guo?

Yaoguo has just experienced a change, although after his own efforts to mediation, there have not been many casualties. However, the reorganization of the army is indeed a very troublesome and headache, but the key is that the reorganization of the army does not mean the loss of combat effectiveness, and the front line can be transferred at any time as long as it is needed.

The grain lost by the right army is nothing, and it can be replenished at any time.

Is it true that Lin Muyang's goal is actually a sparkling country thousands of miles away? This seems even more impossible, right? This is not modern. The United States can cross thousands of miles to beat Gaddafi. In ancient times, it was absolutely impossible.

So, what is Lin Muyang's move for?

Seeing that Xiang Zixi had been thinking about things, Ma Xiucai opened his mouth several times, but swallowed it again.

The little fat on one side said to him with a smile, "Ma Xiucai, what do you want to say? Seeing that you want to talk and stop, isn't there something delicious to give to the young lady?"

Ma Xiucai's face suddenly turned red when he was teased by Xiao Pangpang.

Xin Zeyang turned around and gave Xiao Pangpang a fierce look and bullied honest people!

"Boss, give us a few flowers!" Xiaofei took out the money with a smile and bought a few **, one for each: "Boss, why did the price of this increase so much? In the past, it was only two penny each!"

The boss sighed and said, "It's nothing. Everything has been soaring recently! And it's not just here, it seems that it's the same everywhere else!"

Xiang Zixi's attention was suddenly pulled away.

The boss said proudly, "My son is working under His Royal Highness. A few days ago, when he went to Linguo and the shops there to deliver account books, I heard that the tax burden on Linguo has increased! It seems that the tax burden of four countries is going to rise!"

Xiang Zixi's eyes suddenly widened!

How could Linguo also raise taxes? Not good! Something big is going to happen!

Xiang Zixi's face suddenly changed! Others are mostly ordinary people. They only see the immediate interests of taxation but far from the political mystery behind taxation!

Lin Muyang is aware of the strangeness of the country and made an emergency response!
