Chapter 330 330: Leeks, really green

"Does Madam think this wine is expensive?"

Wu Xian waved his hand to signal the messenger to back down.

Mrs. Zheng was speechless: "46 taels a jar is not expensive?"

She has been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, and she is in control of the accounts of the house's entry and exit. She knows the price and quality of an item by heart.Even for the best wine stored in the wine cellar in the house, a jar is only more than 20 taels at most!
The more expensive wine is either very old or extremely rare, or it is the tribute wine used to pay tribute to the king.

There is nowhere to buy this kind of wine for a jar of a hundred taels!
Wu Xian smiled and said, "It's not expensive, not at all."

"What kind of wine is this?"

Mrs. Zheng became a little curious when she heard this.

"Naturally, it is a good wine that no scholar or warrior in the world can resist." Wu Xian took the cloth towel handed by Mrs. Zheng, dried his feet, put on new socks, went to sit beside Mrs. Madam, and said homely , "I thought that this item would be in the hands of Wenzhu, and it would be unstoppable if it was sold for a hundred and 80 taels. I didn't expect that it would end hastily at 46 taels, which was unexpected."

Madam Zheng couldn't understand Wu Xian's attitude.

Isn't it very taboo for Wu Xian to sell a jar of wine for sky-high prices?What do you think he meant, but regretted it?
"Isn't that a good thing?" she asked.

Wu Xian leaned against the voucher, with a lazy expression: "How could it be a good thing? Wenzhu sells a pot, and he has to pay high city tax and liquor tax... If he sells low, he pays less. Wenzhu The value of the fifty jars of wine sent up has also dropped..."

Mrs. Zheng was speechless.

I didn't expect my husband to play this idea.

Most of the wine is brewed with grain, and the common people can't have enough food and clothing. How can there be extra grain to satisfy the alcohol addiction?Whether it is Tianhai or other places, wine is a "light luxury product" under strict control.

It doesn't matter for the common people to make small-scale wine in private, but if they want to buy and sell, they have to pay high city tax and special wine tax. Simply put, if Shen Tang's wine is bought and sold here, he has to pay taxes to Tianhai!
Well, it’s still the kind that doesn’t refund tax in March every year.

Wu Xian is willing to sell Xu Jie's face, and not interfering in this matter is also for this reason. It is a good thing that can generate income, why should he kill him with a stick?This is still killing two birds with one stone!Wu Xian had another plan in mind.

These aristocratic families like Tianhai live a very prosperous life, and they have some sneaky money-raising behaviors in private, but they are tempted back and forth as the law allows.He can't beat these people on the face, but he can make their wallets thinner in a roundabout way!

Naturally, these ideas cannot be spoken to Madam directly.

Madame is not only his first wife.

She is also the sister of his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

The daughter of the father-in-law.

What Wu Xianneng said to Mrs. Zheng, he didn't say much to Mrs. Mie, and most of the time he could only stop at the end.

He sneered and said: "I really don't know what Shen Youli's face will be like knowing about the Tianhai city tax and wine tax? Wenzhu is doing business like this, next time I have to send more people to protect him, so as not to be chased by Shen Youli with a sword in anger ..."

In all fairness, it's not that he doesn't value Qin Li's proposal.

Shen Tang's team is indeed a grass-roots team.

But Shen Tang fought against Gong Xiqiu alone, which shows how strong his ability in single-handed combat is. If he really listened to Qin Li's proposal, he would overthrow his business and use his sword to assassinate him—as soon as Wu Xian thought of this scene, The neck is a little chilly.

It is the best policy to bring disasters to the east and kill people with a knife.

Mrs. Zheng watched her husband habitually squinting his eyes and taking a nap, hesitant to speak, and after a while, the air was so quiet that only the breathing of the husband and wife remained.Wu Xian asked: "Madam, is there something on your mind?"

Mrs. Zheng took the opportunity to mention: "Siblings and sisters suddenly sent an invitation this morning, inviting me to the Plum Blossom Banquet..."

Wu Xian: "...prepare congratulations, no one needs to go."

Madam Zheng moved her lips.

Wu Xian added: "The wine sent by Wenzhu tastes good, let's add five jars, and you can figure out the rest."

Mrs. Zheng said softly: "Yes."

The younger brother-in-law gave it, and the older brother-in-law couldn't favor one another, so he simply asked Mrs. Zheng to send it to the other family as well.After lying down for a while, Wu Xian didn't feel sleepy, got up,
"I remember that there are still some things that have not been dealt with. Madam should go to bed first."

Without waiting for Madam Zheng to say anything, he put on his clothes and left.Mrs. Zheng looked at the back of her husband going away, her eyes were almost red with anger, she clutched the handkerchief with her fingers, silently suppressing the astringency of her nose.

The dowry maid whispered: "Madam..."

After a long while, Mrs. Zheng said quietly: "He came here with great difficulty, but he got angry and left..."

Outsiders say that Wu Xian and his wife sing in harmony and love each other.This evaluation was worthy of the name in the past, but it has changed a lot in recent years.One of the root causes of their relationship as husband and wife is her two unsatisfactory elder brothers and younger brothers.

Six out of ten of the family business is in their hands.

Later, Wu Xian found out that the two brothers secretly encouraged Wu Xian's two legitimate sons to fight and treated the younger brother harshly, which happened to be Wu Xian's taboo.What's even more weird is that these two brothers made a living after failing to make a plan, and they got close to Wu Xian's other brothers.

And some other tricks...

The relationship between the two is very rigid.

Mrs. Zheng felt sorry for her elder brother and younger brother, which even caused her husband and wife relationship with Wu Xian to become rigid.After being assassinated during an impromptu hunt, Wu Xian rarely came to Mrs. Zheng's place.

It's rare to come to the backyard, and I also sleep in other people's houses.

It's not that Wu Xian suspects Mrs. Zheng of assassinating him, he still understands how to marry a wife - as a married woman, her brother is unreliable and her mother's family is going downhill year by year, her husband is the oldest of her children rely.

But it is very possible to trust Wu Xian's recent situation too much and inadvertently reveal Wu Xian's current situation.

Wu Xian couldn't force her to make a clean break with her natal family, or completely abandon the two useless brothers, and it was impossible for her to do it with her temper, so she was so stiff.

In fact, as long as Mrs. Zheng doesn't mention the bad brothers from her natal family, the couple still have a lot to talk about.

Wu Xian braved the wind and snow to go to the study.

The attendant asked, "Parents really plan to spend the night here?"

Wu Xian said unhappily: "Could it be that you go to another wife's room to spend the night, and then the whole house will know that we have quarreled the next day? Stop talking nonsense and find out if there is anything else you can do."

Attendant: "..."

But the parents came out of Mrs. Zheng's room and spent the night pitifully in the cold study, and it didn't sound good to hear about it.

Unlike Shen Tang, the hardworking introvert king, Wu Xian has a complete team, even if he can finish today's work today, he can still have paid vacations every once in a while.The attendant searched around but couldn't find any mundane affairs that Wu Xian needed to deal with.

This is the difference between people.

Wu Xian could only pass the time by reading the local scripts.

The attendant can only sigh when he sees this—the parents are having a hard time, and the wife is also having difficulties. Those two unsatisfactory brothers don't want to correct and revitalize the family. Two troubles and three hanged themselves.

After ten years of tossing...

Even couples who are more in love than gold have to be broken up.

The first batch of ten jars of wine was unexpectedly upset.

The second batch broke through the 500 mark.

After a few batches a little bit higher.

But the total price is not too outrageous.

After deducting the city tax and liquor tax, deducting labor, share, transportation and other costs, Xu Xie fiddled with the abacus to clear and keep accounts, and converted them into similar seedlings, farm tools and cattle.

Of course, Wu Xian had to agree to this matter.

After all, you can't give Qin Li any excuses.

Wu Xian only took a glance and agreed.

It's because Shen Tang paid so much tax for himself.

Wu Xian's gentle smile these past few days makes people feel like a spring breeze. Those who don't know think that his family has imported another child.

He handed the list back and told Xu Jie: "You can also ask Brother Shen when you turn around, if He Yin is short of food, if there is any shortage, Tianhai can also lower the price evenly, the two families should help each other. Feel free to talk about any difficulties, don’t hesitate.”

He fully interpreted the words "Tang Di's deep love", and several brothers would have doubts about who is his brother after reading it.

The corner of Xu Jie's mouth twitched slightly.

He said, "Wei."

"As the saying goes, 'every man is innocent, but he is guilty'. Naturally, no one in the Tianhaihe Yin family will covet the recipe for wine brewing in Brother Shen's hands. However, if it is spread, it is difficult to guarantee that other caring people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have. It's not just us. You have to keep it secret, Brother Shen should also carefully choose who to cooperate with. Brother Shen is young, and there are many omissions in his actions, you must remember to remind him after this time."

Xu Jie replied: "Wei."

Wu Xian babbled and gave many instructions.

Xu Jie wrote down one by one.

After he left, Wu Xian recruited his confidants to accompany him.

"I have a mission for you."

what task?
Naturally, he took the wine to hang Gu Ren and Zhang He.

Especially Zhang He, this guy is very rich!

When Xu Jie arrived at Heyin Fugu for the second time, he found that Fugu City had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.Most of the snow accumulated a few days ago has melted away. Despite the freezing weather, busy figures can still be seen in many places.

After Xu Jie reported his identity, he was taken to the treatment office.

He arrived on the front foot, and Shen Tang came back on the back foot.

"Wen Zhu is back now?"

Xu Jie: "..."

Why does this sound weird?

He still said: "Well, Shen Jun is well."

"Hey, I'm doing fine, is this trip going well?"

Xu Jie took out a few volumes of account books from his sleeve and handed them in. The accounting method he used was still very old-fashioned. Shen Tang found it hard to read. There were clear records of how many altars he sold and how much money he sold on a given day. Shen Tang summed up, Earn big!

It's just that the smile has not yet risen...

When she saw the final settlement, her smile disappeared instantly.

"Wait—Wen Zhu, this account is wrong!"

Xu Jie pretended to be shocked and puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Shen Tang said: "Look, the first batch is 460 taels, the second batch is 530 taels, and the third batch... let's take an average, and let's take each batch as 500 taels. There should be 50 taels in one jar...but How come the balance is..."

She pointed to the pitiful 300 taels at the end. Although 300 taels was a huge fortune for her, it was far from the expected amount!

Xu Jie had no choice but to explain patiently.

Tianhai's city tax plus wine tax is almost half of it. In order to let the lord Wu Xian sell strategic materials such as seedlings, cattle, and farm tools, he made a contribution in private, and then deducted other bits and pieces. Here up.

Seedlings are good seedlings.

Although the farm implements are not brand new, they are cheaper.

Farm cattle have served for many years and have rich experience.

Shen Tang's hands holding the account book were shaking.

He gritted his teeth in his heart and turned Wu Xian over and over to greet the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, but on the surface he had to be considerate and interpret the sincerity, innocence, foolishness and sweetness to the extreme.Is Wu Xian cutting leeks?Thinking that he was that handful of leeks, Shen Tang's blood pressure went up.

Whether it's black or the sky and the sea are black.

City tax and liquor tax are paid in double, ten out of five!
Xu Jie also truthfully relayed Wu Xian's diligent advice.

But in Shen Tang's ears, it was a combination of hard and soft. If Shen Tang could accept it, the business would continue, and everyone would close their doors to make a fortune. She would not have to worry about the treasure being exposed and attracting covetousness from the outside world.If you don't accept it, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Literary scholars and martial artists are everywhere in the world.

Shen Tang swallowed the old blood stuck in his throat.

I wanted to cheat Wu Xian, but the white wolf hollowed out his small coffers, but Wu Xian took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and make a lot of money.

Of course Shen Tang is not afraid of the so-called coveting from the outside world.

It's a big deal to confess the magical nature of those wines.

The crisis can naturally be resolved.

But it will not work if you want to cut leeks and wool.

It is said that the wine produced by Lingling is not worth such a high price.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Tang had already made a decision.

Why don't you take money from wolves with empty gloves?
More than 300 taels is pure profit!
How many seedlings can I buy?
Shen Tang's face-changing skills are also proficient, and he looks ashamed: "Hey, I was thinking about it, I forgot about the city tax and wine tax, please don't blame me in the text. Brother Zhaode's worry is not unreasonable, don't worry, business will only be done in the future Be a family."

The knife only kills your family!
The back molars in my heart were grinding and creaking.

Seeing that Shen Tang had no objection, Xu Jie was surprised.

He thought he would see Shen Tang jumping into a rage, after all, Wu Xian's matter was indeed somewhat damaged.

"only--"

Shen Tang changed the topic.

Whispered and complained aggrievedly.

"This wine tax and city tax are too high..."

Xu Jie said: "This is also a no-brainer. It's the same everywhere. Food is scarce. If we don't control it, the common people will go to brew wine for the profiteering of wine. At that time, more common people will starve to death, and the price of food will rise...It is not good for people's livelihood Stablize……"

He spoke with sincerity.

Shen Tang thought hard: "Can't you avoid tax reasonably?"

Xu Jie: "Reasonable... tax avoidance?"

Shen Tang patted his thigh and said, "Yes."

Xu Jie couldn't figure out how to take advantage of the loophole.

Shen Tang said: "Business can't be as rigid as you. The wine tax is high, so you sell wheat rice. Buy a bucket of wheat rice and get a jar of wine. Wine is given, not sold, and tax should only be paid by wheat rice Can't the city tax and liquor tax be avoided?"

Xu Jie: "..."

Shen Tang tentatively asked: "Is this not possible?"

Xu Jie said with difficulty: "This, this..."

He thought about it, and he could really do that.

Shen Tang sneered in his heart, playing tricks on her, she has a hundred reasonable ways to avoid taxes!
She put Xu Jie's shoulders on her shoulders, and the two brothers conspired and discussed: "In addition to selling wheat rice, there is another way, let's play 'distribution'. You let customers deposit money, which means that the money will be handed over to you in advance. hand, and then spend. For example, buy something in your store for 1000 taels. If you buy a certain amount, you can use it at a low price. Even if you draw, you will get a jar of wine..."
