Five times?
The cost of a pair of scissors and a box like this is estimated to be five times as much as usual. Who should I sell it to?
Even if the rare nanmu is not used and ordinary rosewood is used instead, it will cost two to three hundred yuan. And then a pair of scissors sells for the same price. Which family is so full that they have to spend a certain amount of money to buy a pair of scissors and go home...
"This... I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it, right?"
Wang Xiaoer didn't dare to say that this was a bad idea, so he could only express his opinions gently.
"Whether you can sell it or not, you can tell later if you try it?" Fang Jun didn't care.
"It's done!" Wang Xiaoer stood up and gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "I will go find Liu Laoshi and ask him to make three or five of these boxes, and then put them in stores in the city for distribution. Sell!"
Fang Jun curled his lips, looking down on Wang Xiaoer's petty attitude.
These are all business skills that have been honed over time, but you, an old guy, still picky and worry about this and that. You were born to be poor, and there is no cure...
Little does he know that this is Wang Xiaoer who blindly worships him and obeys his advice. If it were anyone else, he would definitely think that he is a lunatic!
After driving the old guy away, and just about to take a nap against the fireplace, the old housekeeper Lu Cheng came again...
"Erlang, did I disturb you? Haha, if you are tired, I will come back later..."
Lu Cheng came in with a smile and was very polite.
Fang Jun rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "It's true that the older you get, the better you get... If anything happens, you'd better tell me quickly. Don't stand there, I have to look up at you, I'm tired!"
After that, get out of here and don’t delay this young master’s sleep!
"Alas!" Lu Cheng was not polite and agreed, then sat on a bench in front of the fireplace and said, "Mrs. Wu wanted to return home, but Mrs. Wu refused, saying that she wanted to stay for a while longer. The eldest lady couldn't resist and agreed to let it go. However, she probably felt that she had disturbed our family for many days, so she proposed to stay at her parents' house for a few days at Duke Ying's house. Speaking of which, Erlang has never visited the house of Duke Ying. Madam Wu is returning to the province this time, and since you are injured, you cannot accompany her. Do you think you can prepare a generous gift for Madam Wu to take back?"
Fang Jun was silent.
To be honest, Fang Jun was actually very resistant to Wu Meiniang's natal family.
Those two cheap brother-in-laws are so annoying to death because they are lazy, stupid and do nothing for others. And the cheap mother-in-law, Yang, who was born in the Sui royal family, seems not to be a responsible person, otherwise how could there be rumors about her relationship with him? Are there rumors that grandson Helan Minzhi is having an affair? Even if this rumor is not true, it means that this Yang's style is not very decent, and others would use her as a raft to spread such gossip. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs...
As for Wu Shunniang, in her previous life, she ended up living side by side with her brother-in-law Gaozong Li Zhi, which Fang Jun thought was nothing. In this life, I have seen Wu Shunniang's character. She was as soft as dough, timid and like a mouse.
Not to mention the emperor Li Zhi, even if he, Fang Jun, wanted to be an overlord, he probably wouldn't dare to refuse, he would have to accept it humiliatingly, and he would not dare to say anything afterward...
Of course, no matter how bad the impression is, the etiquette must be fulfilled, otherwise someone will jump into the wrong place for nothing, and Wu Meimei's face will not look good.
Our family lacks everything except gold and silver...
Fang Jun thought about it and said, "That's the reason. Besides, the New Year is approaching, why not send it together with the New Year gift. Don't be so petty. Since it is a gift, then give it to someone else who will be satisfied. , otherwise if the money is spent in vain and people are still not happy, wouldn’t it be a loss?”
Lu Cheng sweats...
How can there be such a thing?
However, he could also see that Erlang loved Madam Wu very much. There was no mistress in Zhuangzi now, and Madam Wu took care of all affairs inside and outside. Her style was neat and fair, and everyone from top to bottom was dissatisfied.
Presumably, even if the princess comes in in the future, the head of Erlang's house will still be Mrs. Wu.
As a housekeeper, it is natural to have a good relationship with the lady in charge. It is not necessary to fawn over anyone. It is better for everyone to get along well than to look at each other and cause a fight...
Fang Jun thought for a while and simply said: "Sister, I will give you more New Year's gifts. Bring the set of Qibao glazed tea sets at home. There are also a lot of Su embroidery, Shu brocade and so on from the south in the warehouse. Bring them all. Some, to give the eldest sister some face, and save that bastard Li Yuanjia from pampering his little wife who is a businessman all day long!"
Lu Cheng Waterfall Khan...
That's the current prince, and he becomes a bastard when he comes out of your mouth?
But let’s not forget that our Erlang not only called him this behind his back, but also dared to call him in front of his face. He also ensured that His Highness the King of Han had no temper! Dare to fry wings? Then smash your Prince Han's Mansion again...
The entire Fang family, when it comes to the highest status of His Royal Highness, the King of Han, is proud of this uncle. When they meet during normal interpersonal relationships, who would not bow their head and become three points shorter? Even the head of the family, Fang Xuanling, often talked with the prince and son-in-law about knowledge.
Only our Erlang never had a good look whenever he saw King Han. It would be better if the eldest lady was around, and he would always give his sister face. If the eldest lady was not around, he would not even bother to say anything.
And what about His Royal Highness King Han? I am also really scared of this brother-in-law. Every time, he tries to hide as much as he can, and when he can avoid it, he always walks in circles...
Without him, this brother-in-law is really too tough!
The fire in the fireplace burned brighter and hotter, and the warm steam made Fang Jun yawn. Seeing that Lu Cheng didn't even move his butt, he asked helplessly: "Why, is there anything else? Hurry up and finish the sentence at once, This young master still needs to sleep."
"promise!"
Lu Cheng sat up straight and said seriously: "The village is full of the family head's land and your fiefdom, Erlang. The rest was bought from the Xinfeng County Government with your money. Your Majesty had the purpose at the time, because he accepted it." There are a large number of disaster victims, so the output of our village has not been taxed in recent years, but the corresponding labor must still be borne. In the autumn, the old slave followed Erlang's instructions and changed the rents of our tenants and villagers to To calculate the rent by adding the usual taxes and corvee to the tenants, most of the villagers support it. However, the villagers still have doubts, wondering whether this method is only a temporary expedient. Or should we implement it as usual from now on?"
Fang Jun's method of dividing a family into an area is a variation between Zhang Juzheng's "one whip method" and the Qing Dynasty's method of "sharing an area into an area". Taxes are not collected based on the number of people in the family, but based on the amount of land in the family. In other words, the head tax is abolished and replaced by a land tax, which is similar to the agricultural tax in later generations. It can be as fair as possible and avoid That kind of situation where the family has no permanent property but generations of people, old and young, have to pay huge taxes.
"Of course it will be implemented as usual. You go tell the people below and let them relax. This tax calculation method of dividing every village into an acre will not only be implemented for a long time in our village, but if we find an opportunity, I will also talk to Your Majesty." Let me give you advice and see if we can try it out in Guanzhong."
This tax calculation method has been tested by history and can be said to be the most advanced and reasonable tax calculation method, if not the only one...
The only obstacle is that this method touches the interests of the landlord class.
Taxes are no longer calculated based on the number of heads, but based on the amount of land. This is good for the common people, but it is a tragedy for the landowners with thousands of hectares of fertile land! Therefore, one can almost imagine how strong the backlash from the landlord class will be.
In this era, most of the land is concentrated in the hands of those people?
A powerful family!
Honorable royal family!
His Majesty Li Er held an imperial examination and almost had a fight with a powerful family. Fortunately, he had the support of the noble royal family behind him. Fang Jun is now directly going against the two major groups in the world, and even wants to divert their foundation...
Fang Jun also had to hesitate a little.
In this era, he has to use some seemingly rude and even rude methods to safeguard his own interests, but this does not mean that he can play this trick on everyone.
He's not stupid...
But again, as the saying goes, when people live, they must have some ideals, what if they come true...
