Chapter 360 Willow Town

Speaking of Jiang Yuerong, Granny Fang talked a lot. She has taken care of the eldest lady for so many years, and she always has something in her heart.

"I remember a little girl came suddenly that year." Granny Fang remembered something, "I don't know where she came from, and she left at dawn."

Ye Sijin didn't expect that Granny Fang still remembered, for Granny Fang, many years should have passed.

Granny Fang was leaning on crutches, her body was hunched, she looked at Ling Chu, her face was full of love, "Miss must be a very good mother, she said, she likes children very much."

Ling Chu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and Ye Sijin tugged at his clothes, "Grandma Fang, we shouldn't stay here for a long time, we have to leave first."

"Leaving so soon." Granny Fang was a little lost between her words, "I'm too old to make cakes for you to eat."

Ye Sijin looked at all the places that should be seen, and searched for all that should be looked for, but he didn't find any secrets. After saying goodbye to Granny Fang, he left with Ling Chu.

Nanny Fang stood at the door, looking at the carriage going away, her figure became more and more lonely.

Ye Sijin opened the paper bag, and there was glutinous rice cake inside, which was already a little cold, and it was soft and delicious when it was not warm.

"Then where are we going now?" Ye Sijin took a bite of the glutinous rice cake, feeling that it was not very tasty.

"Take a walk around and take you to relax." Ling Chu said.

Ye Sijin took away the book in Ling Chu's hand, "I'm still reading in the carriage, my eyes will be short-sighted."

Yiqi drove the carriage to the surrounding towns, and Yiliu leaned against him to sleep soundly, almost falling over several times.

The carriage drove to Yangliu County. This town is not considered rich, and there are even few stalls on the roadside. A few scattered passers-by did not even yell.

"Is there a small number of people in this town?" Ye Sijin wondered, there were only a handful of people on a street, even if it was a meal time, there would not be only so few people.

Yi Qi parked the carriage in front of the restaurant, pushed Yi Liu, almost pushed him down.

"Here we are." Yi Liu wiped the corners of his mouth and jumped off the carriage, "Young Master, Young Madam, please get off the carriage."

"I'm not married yet, so I'm letting you take advantage." Ye Sijin muttered.

Ling Chu gently tugged, and Ye Sijin fell into his arms, "Aren't you satisfied with this title?"

"It's on the carriage." Ye Sijin glared at him, "I didn't say I was dissatisfied, let me go."

"How to be satisfied?" Ling Chu smiled and held her waist tightly, "I didn't see it."

"It's quick to learn bad things." Ye Sijin stretched out his hand and beat him twice, "Stop making trouble, get out of the carriage quickly."

"Ok?"

Ye Sijin held his face and kissed him, "Is it all right?"

"What should you call me?"

"Husband." Ye Sijin called into Ling Chu's ear, "Can I get off the carriage?"

Xiao Er was neither happy nor unhappy when he saw the group of people. After finally getting a business, of course he had to welcome the guests.

There was no one in the restaurant, and it looked a bit bleak. This was the biggest restaurant in the town, and there was no one there.

"Is your business so bad?" Yiliu asked, "Is it bad?"

"The guest officer was joking, we are the only big restaurant in this town, and it tastes really good." Xiaoer said, "Is the guest officer upstairs or downstairs?"

"Let's go upstairs." Yiliu said, "Find a place with a better location."

Xiaoer led the way, picked the first private room, and invited a few people in.

"What dishes do you guys want to eat?" Xiao Er rubbed his hands and asked, not even pouring a cup of tea.

Everyone looked at Ye Sijin, "Look at what I do, well, let's order some special dishes from your town."

"This is for sale, it's sold out." Xiao Er scratched his head, "Why don't you cook some vegetarian dishes?"

"There's no one here, and you said it's sold out?" Yiliu said.

Ye Sijin said again, "Is there always chicken, duck and fish?"

"Yes, yes, but the price is a bit high." Xiaoer said, "I don't know if the guest officials want it."

"How much?" Ye Sijin was a little curious, no matter how high it was, how could it be so high.

"Chicken 15 taels, duck 13 taels."

"So expensive?" Ye Sijin was surprised, the capital didn't even have such a high price.

Yiliu took a step forward and shouted, "You guys are stealing money, why do you still want to be a black shop?"

"Excuse me, guest officer, our shop is bright and bright, how can it be a black shop." Xiao Er wiped off his sweat, seeing that these two sword-wielding men are not easy to mess with. "I don't dare to lie to the guests, but the tax on buying chicken, duck and fish is too high. We really can't afford that much in our shop. We can only sell some vegetarian dishes, which are grown in our shop. Woolen cloth."

"Buying chickens, ducks and fishes is tax money?" Ye Sijin had never heard of it, isn't this a clear money grab.

"To tell you the truth, madam, you have to pay taxes to buy vegetables, so you can only grow them yourself. When you came, you must have seen that there were no people setting up stalls outside. You need to pay to set up a stall, and you have to pay to sell a thing. Paying taxes, one item costs ten renminbi, and you have to pay seven renminbi in tax. How can it be set up here, let alone our restaurant. Every dish on a table has tax money, and some Vegetable tax is more expensive than the selling price, we can’t afford it, and customers can’t afford it either.” Xiaoer sighed, “If it wasn’t for the ancestral property of the shopkeeper, I’m afraid it would have been sold long ago.”

"It's really too much to pay taxes. I'm afraid the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty are not like this." Ye Sijin looked at Ling Chu. She hadn't read the tax laws of the Dayuan Dynasty, but this kind of death requires money. The tax payment method makes people how to live.

"Dayuan Dynasty has never had such a tax law." Ling Chu squinted his eyes, and the aura of the superior was shocking, "Who is the county magistrate of Yangliu County?"

"Subordinates, let's go check it out." Yi Qi said and went out.

Xiaoer looked at this group of people, swallowed, and saw that these people were not good-natured, just now he talked too fast, and it took too long to express his resentment, so don't bother to come to the door, "Several Guest officer, please go down and see if the water has boiled."

"Second brother." Yiliu stopped at the door, "Don't be afraid, I have something to say."

Yiliu took out the silver, and Xiaoer's eyes lit up, and he immediately laughed, "What does the guest officer want to know, the little one knows everything without talking about it."

There is a new county magistrate in Yangliu County, named Dai Tianliang. It is said that he is the nephew of a high-ranking official in the capital. Since he came here, he has issued this law. All the items sold are as small as an embroidery needle and a vegetable leaf. Both buyers and sellers have to pay a tax, and those who do not pay taxes according to the regulations will be put in prison and their property will be confiscated.

There were several shops in the town that were closed down because they bought a piece of fish or a cup of tea without paying taxes. The shops were confiscated. A few businessmen wanted to go to Beijing to sue, but the whole family was imprisoned in the prison. Now the prison is full of people.
