C364 I see pan jinlian again (1/2)

The street in front of the mansion had yet to be renovated. The street scenery was normal as usual. It was just that it was a bit cleaner than before, with more people coming in and out.

There was a stall selling fried dough sticks on the side of the street with bean curd brain and side dishes on it. Jiang Xiaobai was a little hungry, so he walked over and asked for three youtiao and a bowl of tofu brain.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai had come out from the palace, the boss was especially attentive towards him. He specially prepared a dish and placed it on the table, then asked: ”Master, are you working in the palace?”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and said: ”I guess so.”

There were not many people eating at this time, and the boss became interested. He pulled a stool over and sat down. ”Tell me, what news has the palace got?”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: Why are you asking this?

”I'm curious, just ask around.” The boss said, ”I've heard that there is a tax for the business. I want to know how many taxes should I pay before I make a small business deal like this?”

said: ”In the past, when Liu County Order was in charge of government, and also when Liaoren was in charge of government, how many was collected?”

”I can't say!” The owner sighed and said, ”It's 10 tax in name, but there are also various donations, like ransom money for the corvée and the yamen runners, 30% of it is for free.”

This was indeed a heavy tax. Jiang Xiaobai asked: ”What about now?”

The boss replied, ”I don't know. The new emperor has already been here for half a month, but she hasn't even come to collect taxes. His heart is beating like a drum. I thought, If it's lower than it used to be, I'll go ahead. If it's taller than it used to be, I'll go to the construction site and carry the logs. ”

Jiang Xiaobai thought back to his era and laughed, ”Don't worry, I think... ”Maybe there will be no tax?”

”No taxes, no kidding.” The owner shook his head.

”Don't believe me. It might be true.” Thinking about the fact that Widow Chen was from the twenty-first century, Jiang Xiaobai boldly said: ”Yi Zhou will definitely encourage business development. For people like you who do small businesses, either you don't have to pay taxes, or you only have to collect a little bit of money symbolically. For example, a few copper coins worth of stalls every day. ”

”Impossible, impossible, what do the officials eat? In this world, where can there be an untaxed Old Master? ” The boss thought that Jiang Xiaobai was lying to him and was extremely unhappy. He stood up and said: ”Master, there is a total of 10 copper coins.

”Alright!” Jiang Xiaobai finished all of the tofu brain in one breath, and was preparing to take the money.

But suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, his face revealing an awkward expression.

He had been busy these past few days with training his soldiers, marching, and eating. Until now, he did not even have a single meal in his pocket.

”What? You want to eat an overlord's meal?” The boss' face immediately drooped down, and he said: ”It's different now, other than emperor's announcement, anything that is forced to buy or sell, anything that is taken, is severely punished.”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed bitterly: ”I really am not eating an overlord meal. I really didn't bring money with me today.”

”Who would believe that he's dressed so well?” The boss replied with a sullen expression, ”Did you see that? Where is my stall?”

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look and could not help but laugh.

Coincidentally, he actually had breakfast under Panjin Lian's pavilion.

Today, this place was no longer a brothel, and the signboard at the entrance was different from the last time they came here.

Jiang Xiaobai laughed, he stood up and said: ”How about you wait for me, I will go in and find a friend to give you some money?”

”You have friends here?” The boss suddenly became nervous and said in a trembling voice, ”Actually …” ”Actually, I don't have much money. How about we just forget about it?”
