Chapter 471: Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden
Qu Xiuwen smiled and said, "We came from Chaoxian, a merchant."
The lieutenant quickly filled in the form and handed it to Qu Xiuwen.
"Come on, fill in your goods, we will check them from time to time. If we pay less commercial tax, we have the right to punish your caravan."
Qu Xiuwen nodded and quickly wrote down all the types of goods. Although the commercial tax here is still a bit high, the profit has long increased dozens of times. Excluding the cost, everything else is pure profit.
During their handover, dozens of soldiers were very professionally inspecting the cargo on each carriage.
When the soldiers inspected, they would also register the hidden guards' weapons.
Not long after, a senge came over and said.
"The head, the product has been checked, it is probably the same."
After seeing that there was no problem, the lieutenant copied a new copy of the form and then used a seal dedicated to guarding the city gate to cover the font in the middle of the form.
Then put the two pieces of paper flat together and put a seal in the gap in the middle.
This is the opinion provided by Yang Gan, in duplicate, who has any problems, who is in trouble, and wants to forge it? I haven't seen that even the clasp is stamped.
Qu Xiuwenqi said, "Sir, I came before, and there seemed to be no such rules?"
The captain said lightly, "It's not some merchants who want to pay less commercial tax. This is the solution that the emperor has come up with. It is good for you and us. Each contract is one. Whoever has a problem will be responsible for whom it will be."
Qu Xiuwen's eyes turned and asked, "How to punish the caravan that pays less commercial tax?"
The captain warned and said, "What are you asking about this? You don't want to pay less."
Qu Xiuwen immediately shook his head and said, "Nothing is wrong. I plan to tell my colleagues when I go back to Chaoxian, don't cause trouble then. I hope the lieutenant will give me advice."
"Hahaha, so that's it. We have regulations on guarding the city that each caravan has a font size. If any caravan pays less commercial tax for the first time, the penalty will be five times the less tax, and ten times the second time."
Qu Xiuwen's curiosity was immediately seduced, "What about the third time?"
The captain sneered, "The third time? Confiscated all the money and goods, and everyone was punished by fifty-years to drive out of Yuntong County. No business is allowed to come to Yuntong County for business within three years."
"hiss…"
Qu Xiuwen's eyes shrank and he thought to himself, "So cruel!!!"
"Thank you, Lord Captain, for your advice."
The captain waved his hand indifferently, "Turn the caravan in immediately, don't block the city gate."
"Okay."
Qu Xiuwen immediately called everyone to enter the city gate in an orderly manner.
After a while, dozens of carriages lined up behind him. It was obvious that it was a small caravan from another place, but strangely, no one was in the lineup.
After Qu Xiuwen returned to the carriage, he told everything he had just found out.
Hearing King Xia Wen nodded repeatedly, Man Yin lay down at the window and kept looking at the scene that came into view.
"Mr. Father..."
"Call me dad."
Manyin stuck out his tongue and smiled, "Dad, the walls of Yuntong City are so high, and the inside is so lively, and the streets are so clean."
"Well, this is inevitable. Yuntong County is the gateway to the north and must have the strongest city. Therefore, no matter how many trips the Huns come, as long as they cannot capture Yuntong City, they still have to come and go wherever they go."
Man nodded in a slight sense of understanding. After all, he was too young and was not very interested in such things.
In a short while, the group arrived at a place where merchants were specially provided.
The venue here is extremely large, and the ground is full of lines. A small official ran over and looked at the caravan with more than 200 carriages.
"Hey, hey, where did you come from?"
With the help of his subordinates, Qu Xiuwen walked off the carriage and said, "We are the caravans that Chaoxian came."
The clerk said, "You can leave ten carriages, and other carriages to unload the goods, unload the goods and leave the city, and there is a special place for the carriages to park."
Qu Xiuwen suddenly realized that no wonder he found not many carriages when he came here.
"What if our carriage was stolen outside the city?"
The little official smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is a special caravan carriage parking spot outside the city. After paying the money, someone will watch the carriage and someone will help feed the horse."
This time, not only Qu Xiuwen listened, but also King Xia Wen and Manyin heard it.
This greatly aroused their curiosity.
After all, many rules have never been heard of in Chaoxian since entering the door.
I remember that it has only been less than a year since King Xia Wen left last time, but I didn’t expect that the change would be so fast.
After explaining some things, the clerk closed the book and walked leisurely into a small room at the door of the chamber of commerce. The windows of the room were decorated with glass.
If a modern person sees it, he will jump immediately. This is not the security room at the entrance of the factory.
Once the door is closed, the wind cannot blow in and the rain cannot be poured in. You can still see outside. What a great thing. When the coal stove is lit in winter, you will not go out without giving it three hundred yuan.
Manyin hesitated, bit her lip, ran to the security room, touching the transparent glass, and looked frightened.
The little official looked disdainful. Usually, the people who saw glass for the first time had this expression, and some of them were even scared to squat on the ground.
"Jun, dad, then, why is that room transparent, with an invisible wall between them."
"Hahaha…"
King Xia Wen walked over with his beard and smiled, "Manyin, this is glass."
"Glass?" Man Yin tilted his head and obviously did not have the concept of something like glass.
King Xia Wen said, "This glass is transparent, and the wind cannot be blown in or the rain cannot be wet in. However, you can see the outside through the inside. It is a specialty of Yuntong County."
Man's eyes lit up, "Dad, do you use the Jue you use when you drink is made of glass?"
"Well, yes, it was when I left, this kid Yang Qian gave me."
When Manyin heard this, he became more and more interested in Yang Qian.
The king was chatting with Manyin here, and the caravan affairs were fully handed over to Qu Xiuwen. Xue Kangan did not dare to leave King Xia Wen half a step away.
The minor official had already made arrangements. I heard that it was a caravan from Chaoxian. Groups of merchants inside walked in from outside, started looking at the goods, and bargained.
Almost not long after two hundred cars of goods were sold, one or two percent, and the rest were rented into the warehouse.
Unfortunately, Qu Xiuwen was not a businessman and his price was reduced by 20%. If Teng Zijin were here, such a thing would never have happened.
After instructing several clever imperial guards to take charge of this matter, a smell suddenly floated out of the inn.
The tempting aroma of sauce directly seduces everyone's greed.
Everyone hasn't eaten yet. Seeing this scene, Qu Xiuwen suggested, "Or, let's go to the village, there are more delicious foods in Yang Qian."
King Xia Wen was obviously a little moved, but Man Yin shook his head and acted coquettishly, obviously wanting to eat the food here.
At the strong request of his daughter, King Xia Wen waved his hand, and everyone took the follow-up and walked towards the inn with more than a dozen imperial guards.
As soon as I entered the door, waves of discussion came into my ears, and the scene of crowds of people made more than a dozen people feel the atmosphere completely different from Chaoxian.
The nearby merchants just looked at the people and turned around and started chatting with their friends.
"Customer, should I hit the top or settle down?" A restaurant servant walked over with a smile on his face.
King Xia Wen said, "Just beat the tip, what did it taste just now? Give us some things, stir-fry a few side dishes, and make some General Lie and Pork wine."
"Okay!!"
The restaurant servant shouted to the counter while the road. A woman sat on the counter. She quickly wrote down the menu and handed it to the kitchen.
After a few people sat down, King Xia Wen kept looking around, and never went in and out of such a place, and seemed very curious.
"Qu Xiuwen, have you noticed that ordinary women here can write." King Xia Wen said in a little surprise.
Qu Xiuwen nodded, "I can't understand it either. Ordinary women can write, but they still use white paper, which is a big deal."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
At this time, a merchant next to him suddenly burst into laughter, "Awesome, so awesome. I don't know who made this thing. It's really amazing."
His classmate is a thin man. "Who can make this thing except Wu Anjun?"
Suddenly, the merchant's laughter stopped abruptly, and he lowered his feet and said, "Damn it, if I had known that I would not bring thirty cars with such good things, no matter how much I said I would have to get fifty cars. After I went back this time, it would be inevitable.
It starts to snow heavily, and you can only wait until the spring comes to come again."
Seeing the two of them having a jar of things on the table, King Xia Wen became curious and winked at Qu Xiuwen.
Qu Xiuwen understood and came to the side and bowed, "Brothers, look at what you are so concerned about in the jar, don't know what this is?"
The two looked at each other and replied with a greeting. The thin man smiled and said, "Did you guys come just now?"
"Oh? How did you know?"
The thin man smiled and said, "There has been a big deal recently. Everyone here knows that you don't know that you must have come."
Qu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Can we say that we are a caravan from Chaoxian?"
The thin man pointed to the jar and said, "It's rapeseed oil."
"Raise oil? What is this? Please give me advice."
Seeing someone asking for advice so humbly, the thin man nodded proudly, and it was obvious that his vanity was satisfied.
"In Yuntong County, if you live a good life at home, you will buy an iron pot. If you use an iron pot to cook, you will inevitably need oil."
"It was good to use pig paste, but unexpectedly, as more and more people eat cooking, the output of pig paste has become short of money, and the price is rising day by day."
"I heard that it was because Yu Shi Gao saw this situation and ran to the village outside the city to ask for help. What do you think?" The thin man even kept him in a silence.
At this time, it was not only Qu Xiuwen, but also King Xia Wen and his party raised their ears.
Qu Xiuwen was not well-versed in business affairs, but his human nature was different from that of scholars and officials. When he saw the restaurant servants drinking, he immediately said.
"Dinner servant, please remember the money for the wine and food on this table, and remember it in my account."
