Chapter 84 Shopping

Li Xiaoyao and seven or eight maids looked at me. I looked at you, looked at each other for a long time, waved and said, "Don't be in a daze. The fifth master is me, and I am the fifth master." The girl standing in the front hurriedly blessed: "Yes, master, girl, or fifth master?"

"Call me Fifth Master." Li Xiaoyao looked at the young maids who were nervous and pale by her words, and ordered in a gentle voice, "Take me to take a bath. Also, remove the incense and open the window to ventilate. I don't like smoking incense. I feel dizzy. Make me a cup of ordinary tea. If there is, if not, any tea next to it is okay."

Several maids were ordered and did their respective duties. They were busy waiting for Li Xiaoyao to bathe and wash out. They served the brewed ordinary tea. Li Xiaoyao sat and drank tea. A girl stood behind her and gently twisted her hair. This day with a girl waiting is different!

The next day, Li Xiaoyao couldn't sleep until the second minute of Chen Zheng. As soon as Chen Chu passed, he opened his eyes and couldn't sleep any more. After turning around in ** for a while, he had to get up, waited for a few maids to wash and drink a bowl of red date soup. Sitting in front of the dressing table, the girl finely straightened her hair and raised her hair. A girl came over with four or five pink and green gowns and asked Li Xiaoyao to choose. Li Xiaoyao turned over those brightly colored brocade gowns, frowned and asked, "Is this prepared by your wife?"

"Go back to Master Wu's words, this was sent by Master Nan last night." The girl holding the clothes replied respectfully. Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath and sighed, turned over and picked out the least bright goose yellow gown from the pile. The girl who had just combed her hair looked at the color of the clothes, picked out a few hairpins such as topaz and white jade gold from the box on the table, and handed it to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiao Yao looked at the hairpin and the box. Without waiting for her to ask, the girl holding the hairpin had already answered, "Five Master, this box was also sent by Master Nan last night, with the clothes." Li Xiaoyao lowered her eyes and picked up a big jade-colored cloud head hairpin. The girl picked up the hairpin and carefully inserted it between Li Xiaoyao's hairdress.

Li Xiaoyao packed up and came out and had breakfast with Li Zongliang and others. Before he finished eating, Lv Feng yawned into the yard. Li Zonggui quickly got up and greeted him: "Have you had breakfast yet? Come and have some?"

"I've eaten it. You can do whatever you want. Well, Xiaoyao looks good today. You look good in this color." Lv Feng looked at Li Xiaoyao and praised him. Li Xiaoyao stood up, walked to Lv Feng, stretched out his head to smell it, frowned and waved his hand in front of his nose: "So fragrant! Xiang is dead. Which girl did you go to find? Is it an old acquaintance or a new lover?

Lv Feng smiled and did not answer. Li Xiaoyao stepped back half a step, held his chest, looked at him diagonally up and down and asked, "You have always loved Miss Top. What's the name of Miss Hong in Rucheng? Which one is better than peony or jade lotus?

"Call Qingwan, alas, this can't be compared. Each has its own advantages. What's the point of this?" Lv Feng subconsciously didn't want to say more. Li Xiaoyao took another half a step back and motioned to Lv Feng: "You've been tired all night. Go back and rest quickly."

Lv Feng walked a few steps in the backyard uncomportunistically, stopped, turned to look at Li Xiaoyao, and suggested with a smile, "I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. Shall we go shopping?" This city is very lively, and there are a lot of good things.

"Go and have a rest. Yesterday, I agreed with the prince to accompany him to the tax today." Li Xiaoyao waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say anything to Lu Fengduo. He turned his head and looked at Li Zongliang and Mr. Fan and suggested, "Brother, let's go out, and Mr. Fan, take Sister Fan and buy some plain silver hairpins for Sister Fan. Sister Fan's hairpins are old."

"Let's all go out for a walk. It's rare to hang out together like this." Mr. Fan smiled and agreed, "You all go, Miss Sun, Yueting, and you guys, go shopping."

Li Erhuai looked at Li Zongliang excitedly: "Brother, go!" Li Zonggui pushed Wei Shuisheng and said, "Let's go too. I heard that there is a good weapon shop in Rucheng. I don't take advantage of that knife. Let's see if I can find a good knife." Wei Shuisheng nodded with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao was hesitating whether to go shopping together. Nanning entered the yard with a smile. Mr. Fan motioned to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao paused, but still resigned from everyone and followed Nanning out of the courtyard.

Out of the yard, the big car that Li Xiaoyao took yesterday and the day before yesterday was parked. The curtain was lifted. Beiqing stood in front of the car door and saw Li Xiaoyao come out. He stepped back and let Li Xiaoyao get on the car. Li Xiaoyao stepped on the cushion and jumped into the car. Su Zicheng was dressed in a silver-white brocade gown, with a mutton jade belt around his waist, and his hair was blue. Ruyi held the book and leaned on the pillow casually. Seeing Li Xiaoyao coming up, the book in her hand hung down and greeted with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Li Xiaoyao straightened his long gown, sat downright, nodded and replied seriously, "Very good."

Beiqing also got into the car, knelt down in the corner of the door, poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaoyao. Su Zicheng read the book, and Li Xiaoyao did not dare to be too casual. He sat and drank tea boringly. Fortunately, the car stopped for a long time, and Rucheng Taxation arrived.

Li Xiaoyao jumped out of the car neatly, turned around and looked around. The car was parked dozens of steps away from the tax. The tax is a huge yard. The wall is low, the door is open, and people come and go.

Su Zicheng got out of the car, and Li Xiaoyao followed him half a step behind. Changming and Dongping people arched. The group slowly entered the tax gate. There were several queues in the yard, but there were not many people. The tax officer came out with his robe, but was stopped back by several servants. Li Xiaoyao carefully looked at all parts of the yard and the courtyard. Su Zicheng, a businessman, shook his folding fan and pointed to several spacious rooms and introduced, "Beiping merchants are extremely light. They only need to report themselves. I just want them to do business."

"Well, I want to see those detailed lists." Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng and said with a smile. Su Zicheng signaled Dongping. Dongping took a few steps into the nearest room. After a moment, he took a thick booklet and handed it to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao took it and slowly turned over a few pages. He didn't remember many things on it, but which company, how many cars and what goods, tax and silver geometry, Li Xiaoyao Looking at a page carefully, Su Zicheng slowly shook the folding fan and patiently watched her look through the brochures. Li Xiaoyao looked straight at it for nearly two quarter of an hour before closing the booklet and returning it to Dongping. He turned to look at Su Zicheng: "I see that in this booklet, there are more goods entering Beiping than going out. Silk accounts for nearly half of the goods that come in. Most of the herbs sold from Beiping.

Su Zicheng motioned to Li Xiaoyao. As they walked back, they said, "Well, two years ago, I asked people to go to Wu Guo to learn how to weave silk, and let these people come back to the weaving workshop in Peiping to teach skills. The woven silk is not as good as Wu Guo came here."

"What's wrong? "What's the color pattern?"

"Well, the texture is also quite different. As soon as I learned the same two things, Wu Di has taken on a fresh look. In recent years, Wu Di's new gold satin, smoke yarn and cicada wing yarn have been sold very well in Beiping, and silver water is generally flowing out." Su Zicheng frowned, and Li Xiaoyao looked up at him and smiled: "I don't understand the tax law, but this tax is definitely not as light as possible. Wu's silk sells well in Beiping like this. Since it is not what you want to see, you should levy heavy taxes, 100 taxes, five, or even 100 taxes. First, it can fill the national treasury, and second, it can also subsidize Beijing. Pingfang, reduce the taxes they have to pay. If there are new products that are no less than Wu's, they will not only not collect taxes, but also reward them. They are profitable and profitable. Naturally, some people will do it with their hearts. Under the reward, there must be brave husbands.

Su Zicheng stopped and thought for a long time. He turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao: "You are really different. Let me think about it."

"What is this commercial tax used for? In addition to the rich treasury, it is used to explain your attitude. If you want the weaving workshop in Beiping to weave good silk, and you don't want the silk of the State of Wu to earn all the money of the rich in Peiping, then use taxes to show your attitude. Merchants pursue profits and use taxes to lure them to follow your ideas. Li Xiaoyao tried his best to clarify the principle of tax leverage in later generations. Su Zicheng frowned and stopped the folding fan in his hand in mid-air for a long time before he came to his senses and looked down at Li Xiaoyao, but Li Xiaoyao was a little worried. In this world, there is no information collection and no regulation of bank credit. This tax law, Wan yi•••••

"Your idea is very novel and sounds very reasonable. Just think about it carefully, but there are countless troubles in the middle. When I return to Kaiping Mansion, I will discuss it with the household department to see if it can be done. If it can, it's really good." Su Zicheng thought as he said, shook his folding fan and laughed. Li Xiaoyao felt uneasy and quickly explained, "I don't know the tax law, just talk about it casually."

Su Zicheng laughed and stretched out his hand and gently pushed Li Xiaoyao: "Let the Ministry of Household discuss this matter well. Even if you do it, you have to be extremely cautious. Tax is national and cannot be easily moved. Let's not talk about this. Turn around the front corner, which is the most lively place in Rucheng. Let's walk around and invite Yuelou for dinner. The crabs of Yuelou are okay. Now it's time to eat crabs.

The word 'crab' caused Li Xiaoyao to drool. It's not the time for the chrysanthemum crab to be fat again. At that time, in Taiping Mansion, he could at least eat a bowl of fried crab noodles. In the past two years, on the mountain, this blessing has been greatly discounted! Li Xiaoyao smiled so that her eyes bent into a crescent, and nodded repeatedly: "Crabs should be eaten slowly. It takes the most effort. Let's go there early and go quickly!"
