Chapter 70 Tax Haven Xujiakai
The morning breeze blew away the mist on the river, and the torches on the Yedu pier that had been running all night were extinguished.
Two cargo ships were quietly docked on the shore. Tang Youde stood on the deck, staring at the villagers with bloodshot eyes, and carried bags of raw silk into the cabin.
Yu Peng also stayed up all night with him, watching Tang Youde compete with the leaders of the company for half a night in the first half of the night, and rushed to the dock in the second half of the night, carefully inspected the goods one by one, and then urged the villagers to load the ship...... This pampered-looking fat man has been spinning for a day and a night.
This made Yu Peng admire him. The hundred-year-old store with semicolons all over Jinling is really extraordinary......
When the ship was almost loaded, Zhao Hao yawned and rode a donkey, accompanied by Gao Wu and Wu Yu, and came to the dock unhurriedly.
"Childe is really a shopkeeper, and he doesn't care at all." Tang Youde looked at Zhao Hao with a wry smile. He regretted inviting this kid to go to the countryside with him, and he didn't help at all except to add to the chaos.
"My little kid's family doesn't understand anything, they only help." Zhao Hao turned over and got off the donkey with a smile, stepped on the board and got on the cargo ship.
"Hey, why are there more boats?" Zhao Hao glanced at another cargo ship strangely.
"Raw silk is thrown, and a boat full of five or six thousand catties is definitely not enough." Tang Youde also yawned and explained: "At that time, I ordered two boats with Wu Ji, but one of them was rented for one day, so I only arrived this morning, so I could save ten taels of silver." ”
"Shrewd." Zhao Hao praised, peeled off the shell of the tea egg he brought, and handed it to Tang Youde. "Hard work."
"That's pretty much it." Tang Youde took the tea eggs, and his heart was actually a little warm. Immediately, I suddenly realized that this is not the routine I used to my guys?
'A small favor. ’
Boss Tang took a bite of the tea egg and reported to Zhao Hao: "A total of 11,000 catties of silk were collected, and there are still 100 taels left in the capital." After paying for the ship, renting another warehouse was almost exactly the same as it was. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Hao was peeling tea eggs and couldn't help but sigh in surprise. He went to the countryside this time, for fear of overspending, and brought another 500 taels. Unexpectedly, not only did not overspend, but there was still a surplus.
"Didn't you say five dollars a pound? Why did you collect an extra thousand catties and have left? ”
"Hey, hey." Tang Youde waited for his words, and when he heard this, he said triumphantly: "Mountain people have their own clever plans." At the beginning, I said that I would only accept 5,000 catties, but the silk in their hands far exceeded this amount. pestered me to beg my grandfather to sue my grandmother, and took the initiative to lower the price, so I reluctantly made it difficult for them to wrap up. ”
"Treacherous, sure enough, a profiteer." Zhao Hao dusted the broken eggshell into the river, shook his head and sighed: "I have to have more eyes in the future, if I don't get it right, I will let you be pitted." ”
"Childe, speak with your conscience? I'm honest with you. Tang Youde shouted and said: "Besides, who of us cheats whom, isn't it me who suffers every time?" ”
"Frost turns into snow......" Zhao Hao spit out three words.
"Isn't it a story? Why did Childe mention it again...... "Tang Youde couldn't cry or laugh.
"It's not that I'm boasting, when it comes to holding grudges, Nanjing City can't compare with me." Zhao Hao smiled half-truthfully.
As soon as the villagers got off the ship, the two cargo ships removed their pedals, untied their cables and swayed, and sailed away from the dock.
watched the heads of the society stand on the shore and wave goodbye. Zhao Hao suddenly called softly:
"Old Don."
"Huh?"
"You can't be a Tu in your life."
"Huh?"
Zhao Hao knows in his heart, don't look at the leaders of the club who are very happy now, I'm afraid that in less than two months, they will have the heart of eating Tang Fatzi.
~~
When I came, I went against the current for a day and a night, and on the way back, I went down the river, and I saw the glittering glazed tower at noon.
Zhao Hao then remembered that he had not climbed the pagoda that had been rare by Westerners for hundreds of years, so he added this small item to his wish list.
At this time, Wu Yu and his wife went to the deck and stood behind Zhao Hao in a restrained manner.
"Childe looking for us?"
"It's nothing, just to ask where you're going?" Zhao Hao turned his head, and his smile was warmer than the sunset.
"I haven't thought about it yet, so let's get off the boat first, find a place to stay, and see if I can find a living in Nanjing City." Wu Yu had already untied the strip of cloth on his head. That shovel just opened the corners of his eyebrows, and it looked terrifying, but it was actually fine.
"I have a suggestion, how about you listen to it?" Zhao Hao coughed lightly.
"The son gives teaching, and he should listen to him." After all, Wu Yu has read scriptures, speaks in a sven manner, and looks handsome, no wonder he was chased by Tang Siya.
"My family is in Nanjing, I want to open a ......" Zhao Hao had the heart to brag, but he was helpless to be exposed in a blink of an eye, so he had to tell the truth: "A small restaurant." At present, they are recruiting workers while decorating, I wonder if the virtuous couple is willing to give in? ”
"That's great...... Tang Siya couldn't help but be happy, although she was very decisive when she left, but when she really left Tangjiawei, she fell into confusion and fear of the future. She didn't know where the couple should settle down and how they would make a living......
Now that Zhao Gongzi, who saved them, is willing to take them in, Tang Siya naturally can't ask for it.
"It's just that we don't know how to cook...... Although Wu Yu is still vulgar, he has maintained a good habit of not talking, which is in stark contrast to a certain well-known mage. When Siya was in the barracks, the Huotou Army didn't need her to help cook......"
Tang Siya blushed when she heard this, and secretly pinched Wu Yu's waist with her nails.
Wu Yu immediately shut up obediently.
"I don't know how to cook, but I have a lot of work to do." Zhao Hao pretended not to see the small movements of the two, and said to himself: "For example, when you open the door to do business, it is inevitable that there will be live hauntings coming to the door, and Brother Wu's big iron stick will be pestled in front of the door, which one dares to make trouble?" ”
"I can do it." Wu Yu's eyes lit up and said: "The villain is measured, and the son doesn't have to worry about killing people......"
Zhao Haoxin said, I just took a fancy to you, so I wanted you to be the security captain of 'Wei Ji Xian'.
He smiled at Siya again: "Sister Siya is sharp and sharp, and she has seen a big scene, so she will definitely be able to help a lot." But what to do, you have to ask the shopkeeper Fang. ”
"Okay, even if we sweep the floor and wash the dishes, we will not embarrass the son." Siya was originally willing, so she naturally agreed.
~~
As he spoke, the ship stopped outside the city.
"What is this for?"
Zhao Hao looked at the busy dock in front of him, and asked Tang Youde, who had just finished catching up on sleep and came out of the cabin, strangely.
"Arrived, unloaded here, the warehouse we rented is on the edge of the dock." Tang Youde rubbed his eyes and stretched.
"Why don't you go into town?"
"Those who enter the city have to be taxed, not only the city gate tax, but also the ship material merchant tax. We sell raw silk, and we have to be a silk tax by the weaving eunuch. Tang Youde took the wet towel handed by the guy, and replied casually while wiping his face: "East and west, what else do we have to earn?" ”
"So you don't have to pay taxes?" Zhao Hao looked at the wharf like a forest, and at least hundreds of cargo ships were berthed to load and unload goods.
"If I don't go into the city, why should I collect my taxes?" Tang Youde said with a look of course: "When the time comes, the delivery will also be outside the city, and the imperial court will not receive a penny." ”
"Uh......" Zhao Hao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see the Jiangdong Gate Tax Customs, which was also two miles away. So blatant, can the court not know? ”
"You know? What if you know? Tang Youde smiled and said: "This piece is the private manor of Wei Guogong, the Xu family does not let it go, and the ships of the imperial court cannot dock." ”
"That's ......" Zhao Hao was dumbfounded when he heard it, and then said faintly: "Da Ming was destroyed in the hands of your gang." ”
"I can't imagine that Childe is still concerned about the community!" Tang Youde said with a solemn expression when he heard this: "Okay, just listen to the son, let's go into the city to pay taxes!" ”
"I don't pay." Zhao Hao appeared in his original form.
Tang Youde laughed out loud and said, "Childe is really wonderful." ”
He only thought that Zhao Hao was teasing himself again. But I didn't see the fleeting haze between Zhao Gongzi's eyebrows.
