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 you'll be fine after paying the money?

wrong!
After the store opens, you have to pay taxes.

Walking merchants are taxed at [-] per thousand dollars, and sitting merchants are taxed at [-] per thousand dollars. They belong to sitting merchants when they open a shop.

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

After Yu Xiaolian read the regulations that Yu Changhe brought back, she cursed in her heart.

It's so dark.

I won't give you the real 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.

Therefore, 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!

No problem!
Most of the shops in Daliang keep two books of accounts, one is to pay the government tax, 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 business 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 above the scholar level.

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

I 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, when Yu Xiaolian was free, she would teach Xiaohuzi, Erya, and Sanya how to read.

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

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

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "I haven't been to it before, 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, you have to go to the academy to study early at [-]:[-], and leave school at [-]:[-], remember?"

Little Huzi nodded obediently, "Remember, sir."

"Well, go back, come back tomorrow!"

Mr. Meng also told Yu Xiaolian to prepare a thousand-character essay 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.

That's 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.

It was the first time for Yu Xiaolian to come to the ancient book store. 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 so expensive!
At this point, the owner of the book shop told her that he knew they were new neighbors who had moved in, so 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 money.

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 to go to the academy, so these two things are really indispensable.

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 was the first time he had received such an expensive gift when he grew up, and the little tiger held the book in his hand, fearing that it would get wrinkled.

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

She felt that little Huzi was still a little clever, but he was too playful. If Mr. Meng could make the most of the situation, she believed that little Huzi would not be a problem in being 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 the little tiger come in, he beckoned him to bring the book for her to read.

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

Seeing that Little Huzi treasured these books, Mrs. Sun felt comforted. If her nephew could get a good reputation in the exam, then their old Sun's family would also figure out a great scholar.

Zhao Erya had already wiped the food shop inside and out, and some stubborn oil stains were easily wiped off with the oil fume Yu Xiaolian gave her.

Now the whole food shop has a new look.

Chasing 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 open a bun shop too?"

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

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

"This shop only sells braised pork, and nothing else."

Not to mention chewing too much, and the manpower is too busy.

"Mom, 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."

Immediately it became hot, and Xiaohuzi went to school tomorrow, not to mention how decently dressed, but he had to have some decent clothes, and Erya and Sanya also had to buy two summer clothes.

After resting for a few days, Mrs. Sun has recovered, and she also wants to get acquainted with this city where 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.

On the way 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 did not lose weight during the journey to the south, but also 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 sick from 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 the shop, the east and west of Los Angeles can be said to be 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.

 Please recommend tickets, monthly tickets. (●''●)
