Daxianguan

Chapter 470
Chu Xian smiled.

How could he fail to see this truth? What surprised him was that Li Ziwan was so smart and could see so deeply that he even surpassed many officials.

"Ziwan, if you are an official, your official position must be higher than mine." Chu Xian said, and Li Ziwan smiled: "But you have to take out the money for emergency. I know you don't have one, so don't ask other people to borrow it. If you want to borrow, you can only borrow from me."

Chu Xian was stunned this time.

"Zi Wan, you need at least 15 taels of silver for an emergency!"

This is a reminder, after all, Chu Xian felt that Li Ziwan should not have so much money.

Unexpectedly, Li Ziwan smiled slightly: "Isn't it just 15 taels, I'll get it for you tomorrow."

Now, in Li Ziwan's mouth, this 15 taels seems to be the same as 15 taels. This is something that Chu Xian did not expect. Although he was married to Li Ziwan in his previous life, he really didn't know that she was so rich.

Half-believing and half-doubting, Chu Xian waited until the next day. Li Ziwan went out for a long time, and when she came back at noon, she actually brought 15 taels.

The silver is packed in a 'money bag'. The money bag is a magic weapon with heaven and earth inside, and it can only hold gold and silver things. It is specially made by the official silver village of the Holy Dynasty. It is divided into several grades, usually 10 taels Only gold and silver are eligible to 'pocket'.

Chu Xian saw that it was indeed 15 taels of silver.

Li Ziwan looked petty, while Chu Xian was curious, where did she get so much money.

"You don't know this. I have a friend who has a lot of businesses in his family. Among them are pharmacies, which are spread all over the state. There are hundreds of them in the semicolon alone. I just co-sold a few in his pharmacy. For the medicine, I pay for the prescription, and I get two profits, but the two profits are 10,000+ taels a year, and I don’t need money on weekdays, but as long as I need it, I can ask their family to withdraw it at any time.” Li Ziwan at this time Said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xian knew who Li Ziwan was talking about.

Qi Yuan.

Qi family.

In Jingzhou, the Qi family is a wealthy family, and the gold and silver in the family may be worth tens of millions. With the relationship between Li Ziwan and Qi Yuan, it is really possible to help the Qi family open up a medicine store.

Who is Li Ziwan?

The only daughter of the medical fairy Li Fuzi, the daughter of the medical fairy, her medical skills are naturally quite good, and she knows a lot of ancient prescriptions. If you find a few and let the Qi family medicine shop use them, the Qi family can make a lot of money.

A two-point profit, 10,000+ taels a year, is estimated to be small. Of course, if Li Ziwan asks, let alone 10,000+ taels, I am afraid that no matter how much, I can get it.

Chu Xian really forgot that Li Ziwan is the kind of person who can easily get money as long as she wants, but just like Li Fuzi, Li Ziwan is not very interested in money. If she didn't need it this time, she might not I will remember this.

Since it was the money that Li Ziwan deserved, it was no problem.

At the moment, Chu Xian called Chang Shi Li Ji and asked the other party to take the 15 taels for emergency, at least the salaries of officials at all levels could be distributed immediately.

When others become officials, it is to make money. Chu Xian is lucky this time. After only a few days as the governor, he has already paid 10,000+ taels.

"That's not the way to be an official." Chu Xian also knew that it was for emergency, otherwise he would definitely not choose to advance money, because speaking of it, it is disgraceful.

However, this is relatively better than going to the household department to ask for money in person.

"Ziwan, I will pay you back the money." Chu Xian said at this time, Li Ziwan was extremely smart and understood what Chu Xian said, so she nodded: "Okay, write an IOU."

Chu Xian really wrote an IOU, but it was in the name of Liangzhou governor.

That is to say, the Liangzhou government borrowed the money from Li Ziwan, that is to say, Chu Xian will repay the money to Li Ziwan in the name of the Liangzhou government in the future.

This is a promise, and it also shows from the side that Chu Xian is determined to improve the situation in Liangzhou.

Li Ziwan and Luo Yong were taught about Chu Huang's and Luo Concubine's coming, and Chu Xian led Chu San to start patrolling around Liangzhou.

Of course, Chu Xian didn't make a big fuss, but used the method of micro-service private visits.

Although this is very 'insidious', it is definitely the fastest. Chu Xian's plan is to inspect a place and change places within three to five days at most.

In this way, they can travel all over Liangzhou within two months at most.

With only Chu San, both of them are at the level of masters, and they can walk like the wind, which saves time.

There are eleven big cities and five small cities in Liangzhou, a total of sixteen cities and lands, and each city is divided into ten to twenty counties ranging from top to bottom, state capital, city capital, county capital, The three-government system is the structure of the holy pilgrimage to manage the state.

Of course, Chu Xian couldn't visit all 200 counties at once. If so, let alone two months, even a year might not be enough time.

So the sixteen cities are the key, just go to a few counties by the way.

Chu Xian was very familiar with Liangzhou before, and the first thing he went to was the 'Wacheng' which is the closest to Shacheng. It is said that a thousand years ago, a sky fire fell and burned the whole place, and the ground was like glazed golden tiles, hence the name.

The most famous thing in Wacheng is the ground fire.

It is said that it is the fire that fell thousands of years ago and has been burning underground. With the help of the ground fire, all kinds of glazed tiles are produced in Wacheng. Many merchants from other places or caravans from neighboring countries will come here to purchase.

Along the road, you can see many caravans, pulling all kinds of glazed tiles, which is enough to see the excitement of Wacheng.

"Master, there are so many caravans in Wacheng, but why among the sixteen cities in Liangzhou, the tax revenue is only ranked tenth. Could it be that some officials are corrupt?" Chu San has followed Chu Xian for a long time, and he can Seeing some things clearly, even Chu San can see that the business of glazed tiles in Wacheng is very good. If so, why can't the tax be raised?

"Go and have a look and you'll find out." Chu Xian is hard to say now, so he can only go to find out the situation first.

Wacheng is one of the five small cities. Although the scale is small, it is very lively. The excitement is not only about the number of people, but also about the temperature.

Because it has the alias of Earth Fire Melting City, the first feeling when entering Wacheng is the heat.

Men and women here are dressed very coolly. Men wear vests and women's shawls. Men wear bare chests. Women only have breasts wrapped around their upper bodies and knee-length skirts on their lower bodies. That's all. It can be said to be full of exotic customs. very different.

Fortunately, the dress in Shacheng was similar to that here, and Chu San, who was already used to it, didn't look straight.

Because although the women here are so boldly dressed, in fact, most of the women are very conservative and clean themselves. Of course, the temper of the women here is also very 'hot', and they often fight when they disagree with each other. They are all martial arts masters.

Therefore, in addition to the traditional business in various places, the blood stones used by warriors and the spirit stones used by martial arts are also very good.

Chu Xian and Chu San entered the city without much effort.

After entering the city, I didn't rush to look around, but first found a place to stay.

Of course, Chu Xian came out with silver this time, but most of it was Chu Xian’s own private property. There was still a lot of silver in the universe bag presented by the Wolf King last time. Chu Xian had used it in recent years, but there was still a lot of money left over. .

After finding the inn, I asked the innkeeper about the situation in Wacheng.

The guy probably regarded Chu Xuan as a businessman, so he was very enthusiastic and introduced him.

"Guests, if you want to buy glazed tiles, there is only one in Wacheng, which is Deruixiang. All merchants can only buy from there. Of course, Deruixiang has all kinds of goods. In addition to glazed tiles, there are also Cloth and grain stores, by the way, if you want to buy some blood stones and spirit stones, you can go to them."

The man was obviously familiar with the road, but Chu Xian frowned when he heard it.

"This man, I'm also a newcomer. It's my first time in Wacheng. I've heard of De Ruixiang. There is also a branch of them in Shacheng, but in Shacheng, there are not only De Ruixiang."

Chu Xian asked, what he meant was that it was a little strange that this guy said that only De Ruixiang's family was going to buy goods in Wacheng.

Could it be that there are no other merchants in Wacheng?

The clerk said: "Guest officer, you said it was your first time in Wacheng. It's normal if you don't know. I don't know about other cities. I just said that in Wacheng, Deruixiang is the only one. Although the price is a little bit expensive, But the quality is guaranteed, and if you are a regular customer, it can be cheaper, and the most important thing is that you can avoid taxes and fees if you buy from De Ruixiang."

The last sentence was whispered by the buddy, and Chu Xian's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Tax free?

If you do business in the state, no matter you buy or sell, you have to pay a certain amount of taxes and fees. Although it is not much, but if the amount is large, it is still a lot of money.

And no matter whether you leave the city or enter the city, the soldiers guarding the gate will check it. If you don’t have a tax stamp, don’t even think about leaving. How can you steal the tax money?

Chu Xian asked again, but the guy didn't say anything, probably because he was afraid of speaking too much.

Chu San couldn't hold back, and wanted to ask, but was pulled back by Chu Xian.

"Don't worry, since you're here, you'll have to figure it out sooner or later."

Chu Xian is now sullen.

No matter what method the other party used, they must have tampered with the tax money. No wonder the state government has no money. If someone tampered behind the scenes, they could have collected tens of thousands of taels of tax money, but in the end they might not even be able to collect thousands of taels. For a long time, it was no wonder that the state capital had money.

So Chu Xian felt that it was the right time for him to investigate secretly this time.

The two went out at the moment, and after looking at it this way, they found that there was only Deruixiang's business name in Wacheng, other than that, they couldn't see any other business names at all.

This is obviously very abnormal.

After spending a day, Chu Xian finally figured out that when buying De Ruixiang's things, he could pay less or even be exempted from paying taxes. The method they used was also very simple.

It's like buying a thousand taels of goods and only marking the price of a hundred taels. Naturally, the tax can be paid only [-]%. , a peaceful scene.
