Chapter 156 I want to evade taxes

  After Yu Xiaolian ordered the plaques and shelves, Yu Changhe finally got the business permits for the two stores.

  For this business license, Yu Changhe ran for several days, applying layer by layer, and finally got it.

  Yes, you read that right. In ancient times, to open a store, you had to go to the government to apply for something called a trade certificate, and you had to pay for it.

   Do you think everything will be fine after paying the money?

wrong!

  After the store opens, you have to pay taxes.

   Walking merchants are taxed at 20 per thousand dollars, and seated merchants are taxed at 30 per thousand dollars. They open a shop as a seated merchant.

  It means that for every thousand cash they earn in the future, they will have to pay thirty cash in taxes.

   After reading the regulations that Yu Changhe brought back, Yu Xiaolian scolded her mother in her heart.

  It's really dark.

  I will not give you the actual bookkeeping, I want to evade taxes.

If it was just commercial tax, Yu Xiaolian would have paid it honestly, but she has been dealing with Zheng Yuanfeng for so long, and she has long known that Great Liang emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, and the government not only collects commercial tax from merchants, but also finds other tax names. head, to squeeze the merchants in disguise.

  So, even if you pay the business tax honestly, you will still be squeezed by the government. He is not benevolent, and I am not righteous!

   Nothing wrong!

  Most shops in Daliang keep two ledgers, one is to pay government taxes, and the other is to let themselves know how much money they have earned in total.

  She doesn't know about other shops, but Mingxiangge and Shanyueju do this, she knows.

  Yu Xiaolian asked Yu Changhe to keep the trade certificate, and she promised Xiao Huzi to send him to the academy today.

  The academy diagonally opposite her home is called Jianyin Academy, and like Qingquan Academy, Jianyin Academy only admits students who are scholars and above.

  Little Huzi is seven years old, but he has not yet enlightened. Yu Xiaolian found Shuren Academy in the eastern suburbs for him.

  Paid a quarter of repairs, plus book fees, a total of eight taels of silver.

  Mr. Meng from Shuren Academy wrote down Xiao Huzi's name on a piece of paper.

  Mr. Meng pointed to the word Sun Hu and asked Xiao Huzi, "Do you know these two characters?"

  Little Huzi nodded quickly, "Yes, this is my name, my sister taught me."

   On the way to the south, Yu Xiaolian would teach Xiaohuzi, Erya and Sanya how to read when she was free.

  Although there are not many days of teaching, they already know each other and can write their own names.

  Mr. Meng glanced at Yu Xiaolian, "Have you ever been to school?"

  Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "I haven't been to it, but my father is literate, and he has been reading for a few years."

  Mr. Meng nodded.

  Looking at Xiao Huzi again, "From now on, I have to go to the academy to study early at 15:00, and school is over at 3:00, remember?"

  Little Huzi nodded obediently, "Remember, sir."

   "Well, go back, come back tomorrow!"

  Mr. Meng also told Yu Xiaolian to prepare a thousand-character prose and the Analects at home, and bring them together tomorrow.

   When Yu Xiaolian took Xiao Huzi back, she went directly to the book shop next door to her house.

  The owner of the book shop is a bookish middle-aged man, surnamed Li.

  Every time Yu Xiaolian passed by the door, she could see him reading a book.

  It was a serious reading. A few times ago, Yu Xiaolian thought he was reading a book of sages. It wasn't until today when he walked into the store that he realized that what he was reading was actually a thick travel journal.

  Yu Xiaolian came to the ancient book store for the first time. Even though she was prepared, she was surprised by the price of this book. The two thin handwritten books cost a total of three or five dollars.

   This is really expensive!

   At this point, the owner of the book store told her that he knew they were new neighbors who had moved in, and he had already paid her the lowest price.

  Yu Xiaolian bought another inkstone and ink sticks, both of which were at a medium price, and spent another eight and a half taels of silver.

  As for the paper, she has it in the supermarket. She has already given Xiao Huzi a thick stack of white paper, which is enough for him to use for a while.

  Although there is also ink in the supermarket, Xiao Huzi must use ink sticks and inkstones when he goes to the academy, so these two things are really unavoidable.

  As for the writing brushes, Yu Xiaolian had already given Xiao Huzi three large, medium and small ones, so there was no need to buy them.

  Holding Xiao Huzi's hand, he went back to the food shop next door.

   "Sister, the book is so expensive!" This is the first time he has received such an expensive gift when he grows up. Little Huzi held the book in his hands dearly, for fear of getting wrinkled.

   "If you know it's expensive, study hard and listen to the class attentively."

  She thinks that Xiao Huzi is still a little clever, but he is too playful. If this Mr. Meng can make the best use of the situation, she believes that it should not be a problem for Xiao Huzi to become a scholar in the future.

   "Ah, our Huzi bought a new book!" Mrs. Sun was sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting with Mrs. Sun.

  Seeing Little Huzi come in, he beckoned him to bring the book for her to read.

  Little Huzi handed the book over, while telling him worriedly, "Auntie, please turn over carefully, don't get my new book crumpled."

   Seeing that Xiao Huzi cherishes these books so much, Mrs. Sun feels comforted. If her nephew can get a good reputation in the future, then their old Sun family will also figure out a great scholar.

  Zhao Erya has already wiped the food shop inside and out, and some stubborn oil stains can be easily wiped off with the oil fume Yu Xiaolian gave.

   Now the whole food shop has a new look.

  Putting the little tiger to the backyard to write big characters, Sun asked her daughter, "Lian'er, this food shop used to be a bun shop, why don't we also open a bun shop?"

  Yu Xiaolian shook her head, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea, "I plan to open a stewed meat shop, and I've already decided on a plaque."

  Sun's eyes lit up, "I think braised meat shops are good, so why don't we only sell braised meat and not buy anything else?"

   "This shop only sells stewed pork, not others."

   Too much to chew, not to mention, the manpower is too busy.

   "Mother, I'll take you and my grandma out for a walk in a while, buy some ready-made clothes to wear, and then pull some fabric to make a schoolbag for Xiao Huzi."

  It's going to be hot soon, and Xiao Huzi will go to school tomorrow, not to mention how decently dressed, but he must have some decent clothes, Erya and Sanya also have to buy two summer clothes.

  Ms. Sun has recovered after resting for a few days. She also wants to get acquainted with the city in which she will live in the future.

  Yu Xiaolian wanted to take her grandma with her, but Mrs. Sun refused, saying that she would cook at home and they would be able to eat when they came back from their stroll.

   During the journey to the south, Yu Xiaolian would buy chicken soup or pigeon soup for Mrs. Sun whenever she encountered a bigger restaurant, so Mrs. Sun not only didn't lose weight during the journey to the south, but gained a little weight.

   Mrs. Sun is only in her early fifties, and she is not very old, but when she was young, she had a lot of work and became ill due to exhaustion. Now she feels that she is in good health and can walk without panting, so she rushes to work. Sometimes Zhao Erya wants to cook, but she is kicked out of the kitchen by Mrs. Sun.

  Their shop is in the east of Los Angeles. According to the owner of Naya Shop, the east and west of Los Angeles are very different.

  The east of the city is full of small businesses and small shops, while the west of the city is full of big restaurants, big teahouses, and big silk and satin shops. Even the official salt shop is also opened in the west of the city.

   And without some contacts, it is impossible to open a shop in the west of the city.

  Yu Xiaolian has long been curious about what the west of the city is like, so today she and Mrs. Sun came to the big silk and satin village in the west of the city.

   Ask for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. (●\'\'●)
