Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 405

Mr. Zhou also thought so, but the silver taels marked on the picture in front of him, the annual income of nearly 600 taels, is roughly the same as the actual amount in Zhou Ji!

"Is shopkeeper Xia planning to use this kind of thing to fool me!" Master Zhou sneered, thinking that she must not let her see the tricks.

"Huh? Do you think this silver tael is wrong? Every year, the imperial court collects business tax according to the income of each family, but I obviously calculated the income silver tael according to the tax paid in Zhou Ji. Could it be that Mr. Zhou... Tax evasion?"

As soon as Xia Junyan finished speaking, she saw Master Zhou's gaze suddenly swept over.

"Shopkeeper Xia's picture is too small, our boss can't see it clearly." Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly smoothed things over, "We will wait for our boss to take a look."

"It turned out to be like this." Xia Junyan waved her hand, and Xiaoyu took the drawing directly to Master Zhou knowingly, and explained thoughtfully: "Although Zhou Ji's annual income is increasing, in fact, the annual expenditure is also increasing. On the increase, you can look at these silver taels."

Master Zhou's beard has already started to tremble a little, I don't know if it's from anger or surprise.Before he could digest this fact, under Xia Junyan's instruction, Xiaoyu took out a second blueprint.

Xia Junyan said: "I don't know if Mr. Zhou has discovered that the annual growth rate of money in the weekly diary has started to decline since five years ago. In the past, the annual silver money in the weekly diary increased threefold every year, but from five years ago It started a few days ago, and every year it’s not even one time.”

Master Zhou wanted to refute, but found himself speechless.What Xia Junyan said is true, it is really not mixed with water at all!In desperation, he glared at Shopkeeper Sun again. ——Raising you is like raising a bunch of pigs! !Aren't these things you shopkeepers should tell me? Why did an outsider say it in the end!
Shopkeeper Sun lowered his head. It was the first time he had seen Xia Junyan's drawing method, and he himself was surprised.

"Of course the business will not be as smooth as it was at the beginning when the business has reached a certain level." Elder Zhou still refused to show weakness.

"You are right." Xia Junyan nodded, and took out the third picture - the growth chart of other cloth villages in Yun'an County in the past five years.

Putting the three pictures together, even an outsider can understand that the main reason for the decline of Zhou Ji is the rise of other cloth houses.

"I've already said this to shopkeeper Sun last time. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. It's the same in business. Everyone wants to be the leader." Xia Junyan paused, and whispered, "Being a general When a person is too strong, it will instead attract the weak people around him to unite and deal with him. It doesn’t matter if the strong person remains strong, but once someone risked his life to tear him apart, the surrounding People will flock to it. The story of ants eating elephants, the big boss should know better than me."

The powerful person is Zhou Ji, the one who wants to tear him up is He Ji, and the other Buzhuang owners are eyeing.Master Zhou quickly sorted out the relationship between the characters.Zhou Ji's deterrence has dropped to its lowest point because of the Li Chun'e incident and the Buzhuang turmoil, so now is the best time to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

"Treasurer Xia is right." Elder Zhou couldn't help but let out a wry laugh, "The Zhou Ji has fallen to the point it is today, and someone is responsible for it."

"People are looking forward, one moment at another. You and I are both in business, so why stick to the past grievances!" Xia Junyan said proudly, "Now Zhou Ji and Xia Ji are here to express their sincerity. The discussion with the heart, the current scene, should be to think about how to face the current predicament."
