He Rui played with the camera.
"How to use this?"
Yue Rushuang taught her how to use it.
He Rui kept taking pictures, and the photos were popped out of the camera one after another.
There is Yuxue, the emperor, the queen, and the old man who is cooking wontons...
Yue Rushuang...
Don’t you know that photo paper will run out?
Will the battery run out?
With Ruina's temperament, she was domineering and willful. She pressed her button many times, and everyone in the room was photographed by her.
He Rui shared the photos with everyone.
The emperor and the queen looked at each other.
The emperor snorted heavily.
Yue Rushuang...
Born to be robbed.
"My daughter-in-law also left it for her mother and father."
Yue Rushuang...
If you give me this, you won’t give me a bicycle.
What kind of bicycle do you need to stay in the palace all day?
The emperor felt happy when he thought about earning so much money in one night.
"Princess, I never knew that doing business is so easy to make money."
Yue Rushuang...
Hey, don't think so.
Of course it was easy for you to peel off your skin, but it was not easy for me.
"Father, businessmen are no easier than farmers."
"Not to mention getting up early and coming back late, being away from home for months or even years. If you have a bad vision, you may not be able to sell the goods at a reduced price, or you may have bad luck, such as the fruit being shipped is rotten, the rice being shipped is moldy, etc. Risks are encountered all the time.”
emperor……
What are you telling me for?
You haven't been away from home for several months.
"I find it interesting. I only saw that the Crown Princess received one million taels."
Yue Rushuang...
Why didn't you say that it was something more than two thousand years later?
"But the profit is not high! My daughter-in-law also spent a lot of money to buy it."
Yue Rushuang felt a little sorry for Yin Zi.
"Father, taxes should be paid based on income, not based on turnover."
The emperor was biting into the meat-filled sesame cakes. When he heard these words, he said viciously: "Whatever I say will be whatever it is!"
"Ask your accountant to bring in the account book and show it to me."
Yue Rushuang...
That's too much.
Emperor: "Go and call!"
Just as Yue Rushuang was about to stand up, the emperor said, "Xing'er, go."
Xing'er took half of the sesame seed cake and ran out.
Shopkeeper Hua came soon with the ledger.
Yue Rushuang blinked hard.
The emperor immediately looked back at Yue Rushuang.
Yue Rushuang quickly lowered his head.
The flower shopkeeper didn’t know the identities of these people, but he knew they must be extremely valuable.
My boss is the Crown Princess, so the person who can be invited by the Crown Princess must have an unusual status.
Besides, the former owner Princess He Rui is also there. What is He Rui's identity? These people must be members of the royal family.
The flower shopkeeper reported honestly: "All the soaps in our shop have been bought by the West Vietnamese. That's not enough. The small mirrors were all given away, but they also bought them. There were also lighters, not a single one." There aren’t any left.”
"Even Miss You's purse has been emptied."
The emperor said: "Just tell me directly, how much silver did you sell for?"
The flower shopkeeper smiled and said: "Oh, I don't know about that. I'm busy and haven't reconciled the accounts yet. There are always four or five thousand taels, not counting the rouge and gouache."
"Xiyue also ordered that large full-length mirror from us, saying that he would order a whole box."
Yue Rushuang covered her face.
Why are you talking so much?
Yue Rushuang waved her hand and said, "Go down, I understand."
The flower shopkeeper took two steps, then turned back and said: "Oh, the money for the light bulb is not included. Everyone in the West Vietnam Mission wants that kind of rare thing. There are more than a hundred of them, and many of them don't have it." If you buy it, you have to order it from us."
The emperor suddenly interjected: "Then how much did you sell?"
Shopkeeper Hua said: "Everything that the boss put in the warehouse was sold. There are always more than a hundred. This alone is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Yue Rushuang...
"Aren't they all bought by Western Vietnamese?"
If it is not bought by Western Vietnamese, there is no need to pay tax.
Shopkeeper Hua said: "They really bought it. They are very wealthy. As soon as they saw something, they bought it all. They wanted to order it with me. I didn't dare to agree. I just told them to wait for news."
The flower shopkeeper went down.
The emperor is in a very good mood.
The emperor said: "I did the math and found that the total is 589,400 taels."
Yue Rushuang...
Golden Abacus is online?
"This is just the tax money for the first few items. I won't let you forget the ones you sell at the back of the shop."
Yue Rushuang...
You also took too much, and you felt embarrassed yourself.
The emperor added: "Just give me 600,000 taels."
"what? What?"
Yue Rushuang was anxious.
"Father, that's not the way it is calculated. Luxury goods are subject to tax. The following are all cheap goods and are not subject to tax."
"Then I will only collect taxes from you!"
Yue Rushuang...
"Father, my daughter-in-law's shop is a royal shop and does not need to pay taxes."
The Emperor: "Since it is the royal shop, why don't you share the money you earn with me? I am also a member of the royal family."
Yue Rushuang...
Is the big eater coming?
You can't catch a daughter-in-law gathering wool!
Yue Rushuang suddenly said seriously:
"Father and daughter-in-law can pay taxes, but princes must also pay taxes when doing business. Paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen."
In this dynasty, if a scholar became a scholar, his family would not have to pay taxes. In addition, families with meritorious service would not have to pay taxes, such as the Ninth Prince's restaurant and He Rui's shop.
"In Dajin, the rich don't pay taxes, but the people are poor, but they pay heavy taxes. If this continues, the people will not have a few pennies or a bowl of rice left at the end of the year. How can they still be motivated? How can the country be successful if the people are not rich? Strong?"
"Father, this is robbing the poor to give to the rich. In the end, the money is in the hands of big families and high-ranking officials, and the poorest are my father and the common people."
Yue Rushuang looked at He Rui and thought that she must have offended He Rui.
"My daughter-in-law went to Daliushu Village. The children there didn't even have enough to eat. The farmers worked early and late all year, and even sold their sons and daughters in the spring. Daliushu Village is still the best among the neighboring villages, and this is even in the capital. , what about other places far away from the imperial city?"
The emperor put down the sesame cake in his hand and frowned as he listened to Yue Rushuang's words.
"Farmers have planted the land and have to pay 50% of the harvest for land rent. I heard that in some places it is still 70%, and they have to pay taxes on the remaining 50%. Farmers will not be able to eat the remaining rice until the spring, let alone the surplus grain. Then who would still want to farm?”
The emperor said: "Those who have made meritorious service should have been rewarded by me. Those who accompanied the ancestors to conquer the country should also have some special treatment. Moreover, taxes have been collected in this way from the previous dynasty to the present."
Yue Rushuang shook his head: "I dare to ask my father, how did the previous dynasty fall?"
The emperor was shocked.
In the previous dynasty, the people rebelled because they didn't have enough to eat. At that time, the Yan family was stationed in the border town and treated the people well. In the troubled times where rebellions continued in various places, it was the most peaceful land. Later, the ancestors of the Yan family also raised troops. The uprising finally won the country.
"My daughter-in-law heard that the previous dynasty had an unparalleled prosperity. If the people lived like that, how could they rebel?"
"The people are not full to eat and have resentment in their hearts. This resentment accumulates more and more. If someone instigates it, they will rebel. Anyway, they will starve to death. It is better to kill the dog..."
Yue Rushuang almost said the dog emperor.
"Why kill the dog?" the emperor blurted out.
