Two days later.
Xie Fan held the imperial edict in his hand and relished it.
Judging from the above decree, the Xie family is exempted from all taxes, which should mean that both customs duties and city taxes are exempted.
From this point of view, caravans sent as envoys to the Yi Kingdom do not need to pay taxes in the Luo Kingdom.
But I don’t know what policies the Yi country will have, so we need to pay attention to this.
The shop in Feng County can only belong to the Xie family. Once it changes hands, it will face heavy taxes.
This is undoubtedly the biggest dilemma for this era that emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business.
The county magistrate had to find some excuse to get involved. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
From all indications, Liao Yong, his friend, is his most valuable resource.
Lu Guang had handed over the sketch of the house, took fifty taels of silver, and went down the mountain for his honeymoon.
The banquet is almost ready.
Lin Yue held the abacus and rattled it for a long time, "In recent days, business in the shop has been deserted. We can't continue like this!"
Xie Fan dialed the abacus and said, "They are all poor people. Why do they need to buy things every day? It's good if they can fill their stomachs."
Lin Yue advocated opening this store. She said angrily, "We must find some way!"
Xie Fan couldn't help but think of his conversation with Zhang Chao. The key to lack of motivation for consumption was that he had no money.
To change this situation, the people of Feng County must make money. "Yue'er, let Afu post a notice to collect some goods that are in short supply and raise the price."
Lin Yue didn't understand the meaning of this, but she still obeyed the order.
In this regard, Xie Fan had the absolute right to speak, and Lin Yue gave him great trust.
Xie Fan knows that it is not just a matter of money, but the type and attributes of goods also affect consumer demand.
At this stage, we can only sell what we have.
The most prosperous county seat away from Taiyin Mountain is western Sichuan.
"Yue'er, when the shop in Feng County has a new shopkeeper, we will go to western Sichuan to open a shop!"
"No, it's better to go to Liulin, that place is better!"
Xie Fan knew that Lin Yue had some prejudices against the Yuan family in western Sichuan, "I listen to you!"
Went down to Fanyue Pavilion.
Ma San led a group of puppies. I don’t know whether the people are relying on the dogs’ power, or the dogs are relying on the people’s power. In short, both humans and dogs are holding their heads high and looking menacing.
Xie Fan looked at Ma San carefully, always feeling something strange.
Ma San has thin hair, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and does not look like a decent person.
Although it is said that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, it is not an empty statement that the face is born from the heart.
"Ma San, what did you do before? How did you end up in Qingfeng Village?"
"Master, I offended the tavern owner and lost my business!"
Xie Fan took two steps forward and said, "Master, I hate liars the most!"
Ma San immediately knelt down, and the bastards behind him all retreated, "Young Master, I was so obsessed that I stole my employer's things! Now, I have changed my ways!"
Xie Fan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Something was lost in the warehouse recently, was it you?"
"Master, I'm sorry, I've never stolen anything again!"
"Why are you stealing from your employer?"
"boy!"
"kindness?"
"I've fallen in love with a girl and want to collect some money to marry her!"
Xie Fan helped the other person up, and the truth of his words was unknown, "Work hard! Be a good person!"
"Yes, Master!"
Xie Fan pondered as he walked, Ji Sun's worries were not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang. This Ma San still needs to be tested and cannot be placed at will.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Xie Fan jogged all the way and saw a convoy coming slowly.
Many people came after hearing the news, eagerly looking forward to returning home.
After a while, the carriage drove into the yard. Dong Zhong, Nie Yunlong, and Zhang Chao returned safely.
A brief separation can brew up strong feelings.
Nie Yunlong rushed forward first and gave Xie Fan a big hug, "Master, it's done!"
Zhang Chao smiled and ordered the soldiers to disassemble the goods.
Dong Zhong hugged Mrs. Dong, his nose burst into tears, "Madam, you miss me so much!"
At the very back of the crowd, four men with their hands and feet tied looked at everyone warily.
Xie Fan walked over and asked, "Can you speak Luo Guo dialect?"
Several people looked at each other, muttering something unknown.
"Grandma! What nonsense are you talking about!" Xie Fan waved his hand. It seemed that he had to learn a foreign language.
Zhang Chao stepped forward and said, "Master, these people are all very skilled blacksmiths!"
Xie Fan pulled out his sword from Zhang Chao's waist. He held a sword in one hand and silver in the other, "You guys, do you want to die, or do you want to make money?"
Several heads nodded towards Yinzi.
"You know what's going on! Keep it under control! It's delicious and delicious. Please wait on me first!"
Xie Fan turned around and told everyone, "Get ready, take a rest, and have dinner together tonight!"
Nie Yunlong was wearing a watermelon hat and holding a tree branch, explaining what he saw and heard along the way. The eyes of those who were ignorant were stunned when they heard this.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but this first step is finally taken.
Xie Fan threw a piece of fruit to the other party, "It's a special brew. It's so lively, why didn't you bring a wife back?"
Everyone laughed.
Nie Yunlong shrank his neck, "Master, if you give me ten days, I will bring you two Yi girls!"
Lin Yue heard it from a distance and yelled, "Take care of yourself, don't cause trouble for the young master!"
Xie Fan lowered his voice and whispered, "What should you do if you can't bring me back?"
"Yes, how to deal with it!"
Everyone expressed doubts and put Nie Yunlong on the stage.
Nie Yunlong patted his belly, "If we didn't have this skill, we wouldn't be heroes!"
Xie Fan called Hui'er, "Hui'er, take fifty taels of silver and give it to Head Guard Nie! He is going down the mountain to find a wife!"
Nie Yunlong froze on the spot, a look of embarrassment appeared on his dark face, "Are you going now?"
"Brother Nie, hurry up, Lu Guang already has a wife!"
"Seriously?" Nie Yunlong scratched his head and gritted his teeth, "It's only ten days, brothers, wait for my good news!"
Nie Yunlong left angrily, and everyone fell silent instantly.
They looked at each other, thinking about a major life question, should they marry a wife, and when should they marry a wife?
Xie Fan noticed this strange atmosphere, "Don't be itchy! Want to get a wife? As usual, go to the housekeeper!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry!
Not long after, Wen Hua came to ask for instructions, "Master, the set meal is not enough, what should I do?"
Xie Fan forgot about this. He and Zhao Meng still had business. "Zhao Meng prepared sixty copies, right? Take out ten copies first, in case of emergency."
Mrs. Dong chased Dong Zhong, shouting and beating her all the way, "You just came back, and you are thinking about your little wife? See if I don't beat you to death, you are a heartless man!"
Dong Zhong hid behind Xie Fan, "The house has been built, we have to get the sisters over quickly. It's great to be together!"
"Commander Zhang, take ten carriages and go to Feng County with Dong Zhong!"
