lied to Kangxi

Chapter 190 Inviting Kangxi out of the palace
After Yuzhu drew the tax return form in a uniform format, he ordered Wendner to take it to Sun Chengyun, and arranged for people to make plates quickly and print a thousand copies overnight.

This very simple tax declaration form seems to be nothing, but in fact, it implies the mystery of unifying weights and measures and quantitative relationships.

The numbers in traditional Chinese are indeed necessary for use on bank notes.Because, absolutely can not go wrong.

However, in daily use, numbers in Chinese are extremely inconvenient.The biggest disadvantage is that it takes up too much space.

For example, 12345 taels of silver would have to be written in Chinese as [-] taels, which is more than three times longer.

It's so inconvenient!
In addition, today's big merchants are basically on a big cart, pulling all kinds of goods.It is not convenient for inspection, it is not conducive to long-distance transportation, and it also slows down the efficiency of entering the city.

As we all know, among ocean freight, container transport is actually the most intensive and cost-effective.

Therefore, Yuzhu intends to use the power at hand to force the big merchants to classify the goods they transport in advance for easy verification.

During the day, there are too many people, carts and horses entering and leaving the city at the various gates of Sijiu City.However, the city has to buy goods, and the gate of the city is blocked every day.

Therefore, Yuzhu had already discussed with the old emperor that bulk goods were prohibited from entering the city during the day, and only after the night ban could they deliver goods into the city.

Within an hour and a half, all the goods outside the city must be transported into the city.

This is actually the same reason as in supermarkets, large-scale replenishment can only be done after closing at night.

After the names of various goods are unified, in order to avoid leaking confidentiality, only the quantity is listed on the tax declaration form, and there is no need to indicate the price.

The purchase price and retail price must be submitted to Yuzhu separately.Otherwise, how to verify the amount of taxation?

When Yuzhu finished the work at hand, it was almost noon, so he hurriedly used his lunch and hurried into the palace in a sedan chair.

Playing chess with the old emperor every day is a top priority, and it is absolutely impossible to delay.

When playing chess, Kangxi held up the teacup with a smile, and it was obvious that he was going to win this game again.

However, Yu Zhu cut it off unceremoniously, and the situation on the board suddenly became chaotic again.

"You bastard is not stingy, you have too many tricks?" Kangxi frowned and scolded Yuzhu angrily.

Yuzhu said with a smile: "Old man, just watch the show."

Kangxi recognized Yuzhu's pun, and said with a smile, "Yes, I've been waiting for a good show."

Well, Yuzhu was worried that Kangxi would not answer this sentence, so he came up with a bad idea.

"Old man, why don't you change your casual clothes and join in the fun?"

Wei Zhu on the side, with a heart like a mirror, Yu Zhu is waiting for Long Live God here.

As he got older, Kangxi became more playful and disliked dealing with government affairs.

In fact, according to Longkodo, Kangxi often went out of the palace privately.In Sijiu City, the emperor walked here and there, strolled there, listened to a play, and went to a teahouse, quite carefree.

"That's a good idea, I'll do it for you." Yuzhu just scratched Kangxi's itching spot, and he nodded immediately.

After Kangxi took down Aling'a, it really had a good effect.At Lao Ba's house, the daily banquets and gatherings were also cancelled.

This is all due to Yuzhu's impeachment, how could the old emperor be in a bad mood?

The father is very kind, but the son is not filial, this is the truest thought in Kangxi's heart.

Serving Wei Zhu on the side, secretly admiring him.

The emperor's whereabouts have always been top secret, and it is impossible to tell his courtiers.

However, Kangxi agreed to Yuzhu's invitation without hesitation.This shows that in the eyes of the emperor, Yuzhu is a very reliable person of his own.

In the first game of chess, Yuzhu had a hard time losing, but the old emperor had a hard time winning.

"Well, someone impeached you." The old emperor was in a good mood, so he gently placed a memorial beside Yu Zhu's hand, "Have a look?"

Yuzhu didn't go to see the memorial. He shook his head and said, "What's there to see? I'm working for the imperial court. Who are those people doing for?"

Kangxi couldn't help but smile dumbly, this kid is a well-measured dude.

Yuzhu has always been a sensible person who is not confused about major issues, and the courtiers must not touch the memorials that have not been approved by the imperial court.

Wei Zhu on the side nodded secretly, what Yu Zhu said was true.

Yuzhu went to collect taxes for Lord Longevity, and those people asked Yushi to impeach Yuzhu. Didn't they intend to cause trouble for Lord Longevity?

Hey, what will happen to the guy who made things difficult for Long Live Lord?
"I heard that you didn't take the eight-carrier sedan chair?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu casually after he settled down.

Yu Zhu nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, many important court officials can only sit in four-carried sedan chairs. It's not appropriate for me to sit in eight-carried sedan chairs before my hair is fully grown."

"You are married, who dares to say that your hair is not full?" The old emperor was not happy, and he scolded Yu Zhu.

The emperor and Yuzhu quarreled, Wei Zhu's head was lowered, and he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to breathe.However, he knew very well in his heart that Yuzhu passed another level.

Wei Zhu has served Kangxi for many years, of course he is well aware of the old emperor's temper.

It is very difficult for the old emperor to truly trust a person, and he will try it out casually. This habit is impossible to change.

So far, Yuzhu has been coping well, never interfering in major matters, and just gagging on minor matters without talking serious.

However, the old emperor was tired of listening to the dull performances of the monarch and his ministers, but felt that Yuzhu's different response was unusually lively, interesting and fresh.

"You invited me out of the palace, what do you plan to invite me to eat?" The old emperor deliberately teased Yuzhu.

Yuzhu shook his head frequently, and said with a displeased face: "I don't dare to take care of your meals, and I shouldn't take care of them." His attitude was unusually clear and firm.

Hearing this, Wei Zhu couldn't help being enlightened. He finally found the reason why Long Live Lord hurt Yu Zhu.

Yuzhu is so favored, apart from his family background and talent, more importantly, he always sticks to the real bottom line between the monarch and his subjects, and never crosses the line.

Is the emperor's diet something that courtiers can participate in?
However, what Wei Zhu didn't expect was that the old emperor lost his temper and said angrily, "Then why did you invite me out of the palace? I'm hungry, don't you want to eat?"

Yuzhu also got angry, and said in a choked voice: "I will not mix with your imperial meal." He pushed back boldly.

"Get off, get off, get off." The old emperor's nose was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to slap him a few times, and even scolded him three times in a row.

Yuzhu rolled away in a dingy state, but Wei Zhu saw a smile on the lips of the Long Live Lord, which was fleeting.

If it wasn't someone close to him, it would be impossible to tell that the emperor was not only not angry, but in a very good mood.

After Yuzhu left the palace, he returned to the supervisory office unprecedentedly. He still had several forms that needed to be drawn up in advance.

If you master the city gate, you will master the logistics. This is a huge advantage that goes without saying.

However, hidden in logistics, what is ten times more important than logistics is actually a large amount of money flow.

In this era when there was no universal communication at all, big and wealthy merchants had to rely on manpower to transport money to Beijing, whether it was purchasing goods or receiving money.

After the jade pillar blocked the city gate, it was impossible to hide the money flow of the rich merchants.

In layman's terms, as long as the dual flow of logistics and money flow is controlled, the difficulty for big businessmen to evade taxes will increase exponentially.

Because the business tax is appallingly low, to be honest, even though Li Si'er has been making money for more than ten years, he has made millions of taels of silver.However, compared with the real big businessman, there is still a distance.

It's just that, because businessmen have no status, the real rich among rich businessmen all follow the principle of not revealing their wealth and deliberately hide their clumsiness.

How to find a real wealthy businessman, Yuzhu is already an old fritter, and there are many coups.

Based on Yuzhu's experience, the so-called rich people who don't have a lot of money in their pockets like to show off their money in front of others.

The real top rich people are afraid of being slaughtered as fat pigs, and it is too late to hide money, so how dare they show their wealth?

This is the so-called, only half a bottle of water likes to slosh, but the whole bottle of water likes to pretend to be poor!

About an hour later, Yuzhu finished drawing the required form, called Wendner, and ordered him to bring it to Sun Chengyun.

After Wendner went out with the form in hand, Yu Zhu picked up the cup of tea and took a sip comfortably.

Well, Wendner is a subordinate after all, no matter how poor his family is, he still has a bit of background.

Among other things, Wendana's Biluochun is much better than Wu Jiang's craftsmanship.

When dinner was approaching, Yu Zhu and Sun Chengyun boarded their sedan chairs and went to the fifth elder brother's dinner.

After Yuzhu became the supervisor of Chongwenmen, the business secretly run by the fifth elder brother definitely needs Yuzhu's help to take care of it.

It was still the private room on the second floor of Zhimei Building, and the fifth elder brother still arrived early.

After Yuzhu entered the door, the fifth elder brother took his hand and made him sit beside him, while Sun Chengyun naturally sat down on the lower head of Yuzhu.

The people present were all from my own family, and the fifth elder brother didn't bother to bluff around, and said directly: "In my shop, there are some shady businesses, and I need your help to take care of them, brother."

The fifth elder brother treated Yuzhu with sincerity, even closer than his own brother, Yuzhu immediately agreed.

Seeing that Yuzhu didn't hesitate at all, he agreed directly, and the fifth child was naturally extremely satisfied, and then yelled that he would come to him today to get drunk.

After the banquet, after drinking a few rounds of wine, Yuzhu asked the fifth child with a smile: "Master Fifth, how much cash do you have that can be moved?"

Another person would definitely not dare to ask such a question, even if they did, it would still be a joke.

However, since Yu Zhu asked, Lao Wu told the truth.

"To tell you the truth, brother, these years, I have been in charge of the Lifan Academy, and I have made a small fortune. Let's put it this way, in addition to all expenses for a year, there is still 30 taels of cash that can be used." The fifth child suddenly Sighing, "Oh, the Lifan Academy is still too poor, it's not as good as you, Ama."

"Fifth Master, to tell you the truth, I plan to open a bank account, and you will give me 30 taels to toss. If I make money, we will share dividends according to the proportion of the investment. If I lose, the 30 taels of silver will be paid to me." Return it to you intact, okay?"

The fifth child froze for a moment, then suddenly lowered his face, and reprimanded Yu Zhu.

"We guys are doing business together in a partnership. There must be gains and losses. We are willing to bet and admit defeat. If we win, we will share the money together. If we lose, I will always find a way to get the money. Who wants your stinky money?" He widened his eyes and scolded, "I can trust your character. From now on, don't say such hurtful nonsense anymore, understand?"
