Although Qiongzhou Mansion is called a mansion, it is actually a small county, which belongs to Guangdong. Because Guangdong is separated by a strait, the transportation is inconvenient, it is difficult for the officials serving here to stand out from the chief, and naturally, they are under little control.

So here, the county magistrate is the heaven of the people of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Because of this, the county magistrate temporarily increased the goods entry tax and no one made trouble, let alone went to the Guangzhou government to file a complaint. The people of Qiongzhou swallowed the bitter juice and honestly paid the money to enter the city.

All good people who bring goods into the city will pay 5% of their value, which is directly more than doubled, while criminals will have to pay 20%.

A group of jubilant teenagers queuing up to enter the city were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the city entry tax had risen so much, and the money they carried seemed not enough...

Zhang Erlang clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice: "Dog officer!"

Zhang Sanlang's complexion was also not good, and he raised his voice and said: "Everyone put together the money and see if we can get enough tax for entering the city, otherwise the guards will deduct the goods and it will be a big loss."

If you have no money to pay taxes in the city, you will deduct goods of equivalent value, but the guards always calculate the value of the goods at the lowest price when calculating, and they will take more.

So no one will use the goods to offset tax until the last step.

The teenagers got together to count their own money, Gu Jingyun sat on the cart and glanced at the copper coins in their hands, and he knew it, and thought: This little money is enough for half of the tax on these goods, and in the end this matter will probably be paid. It's still falling on me.

Li Baolu also leaned into Gu Jingyun's ear and said, "It seems that we are the only ones who have a lot of money."

Gu Jingyun hummed twice.

Li Baolu asked: "Then do you want to help?"

"Of course," Gu Jingyun taught her with a stern face, "Although they are still annoying, we are on the same side outside, and we lose all, and it's not worth the money."

He looked up at the group of teenagers, waiting for them to come to him, but he didn't expect that the group of people were all stupid, and they still haven't settled their accounts until now.

Zhang Erlang was sweating profusely, counting how much money he was short with his fingers, but he always made a mistake halfway through the calculation, and with so much money combined, all the goods had to be recalculated...

Before they came out, the adults in the family calculated the taxes to be paid for them, and the money was given in excess of that amount...

Damn dog officer, if it wasn't for him, why would they be in such a mess?

What if I can't figure out the tax to be paid and get scammed?

The teenagers were so anxious that they were about to cry.

Gu Jingyun was speechless for a moment, then raised his voice to interrupt their noisy calculations, "Okay, bring the goods that I need to bring into the city, I will pay this part of the tax first, and then give it to me after you go to the city to sell the goods .”

That's right, they only need to pay 5% tax under Gu Jingyun's name, but how much will they pay Gu Jingyun afterwards?

The money that the adults calculated for Gu Jingyun before was based on 2%...

Gu Jingyun ignored the messy crowd, and sat cross-legged on the cart to point Jiangshan, "Zhang Er, according to the previous price, your goods can be sold for about five taels and eight dollars. Put this package with me. I will bring you three or two taels of goods, the tax is 5 yuan, which is 150 yuan. you."

Gu Jing turned his head to look at Zhang Yiyan, curled his lips and said, "Your goods are worth about four taels at the original price. I'll bring you two taels of goods, and the tax is five..."

Gu Jingyun cleared everyone's accounts, and after he finished the calculation, everyone hurriedly calculated their own money. If there was any shortage, they would ask Gu Jingyun to borrow money, and if there was no shortage, they would write down the two items that Gu Jingyun had calculated. Numbers will do.

And Gu Jingyun had already piled up a pile of goods beside him, all of which he promised to help bring into the city.

He pointed to a few people and said: "You take these seafood and enter the city with me. When the guard asks, just say that you are hired by me. Everyone else takes their own goods and remembers the money they have to pay."

The chaotic team became orderly.

After making arrangements, Gu Jingyun turned around, climbed onto the cart and sat down, raised his chin and said, "Let's go, if you don't go, you don't have to go into the city today."

The guards looked at each other when they saw the queue not far from the gate of the city, and they looked at each other. It was the first time they entered the city after the tax increase. The money they prepared must be insufficient. goods.

Gu Jingyun was the first in line, and when he came up, he showed his household registration to the guards for inspection.

The guard glanced at the scooters behind him, and saw his five or six-year-old child sitting safely on the scooters waiting to pass the inspection. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise. Are criminals all so arrogant nowadays?

After opening the household registration, I found out that this person is a good citizen.

The guard couldn't help frowning. The people pushing the carts behind this man were all criminals from the sin village. He would go into the city every two months. After a few years, he had already memorized the people. Dude, how could he be a good citizen?

The guards took the household registration and compared it with Gu Jingyun. The household registration only had descriptions of characters. For example, Gu Jingyun had a round face, big eyes, a wide forehead, a high nose, and a thin stature.

Looking at the date of birth again, the guard couldn't help but twitched his lips, closed his household registration and asked, "What are you doing in Qiongzhou Mansion?"

Gu Jingyun pointed to the cart behind him: "I have some seafood in the sun at home, come here to sell the goods."

The guard glanced at the goods on the cart, pointed to the boys pushing the cart and asked, "What do they do?"

"I hired coolies." Gu Jingyun glanced at him and said, "Why, can't good people hire criminals?"

The guard was displeased and said with a sneer: "There is no such regulation in the Yamen, but in order to prevent you from helping criminals evade taxes, you have to explain clearly what goods you have in your house, otherwise these goods will be regarded as tax evasion items and must be returned to the public."

Li Baolu's eyes widened, and she reached into her purse to grab a handful of copper coins.

Gu Jingyun has already started to carry the goods on the truck, what a joke, he even figured out the tax and money, but he still can't remember what goods he brought?

The guard sneered in his heart, and tore apart every package of goods to check. Seeing that he was about to sweep the goods to the ground, Li Baolu quickly reached out and grabbed him with a small hand, and smiled at him with a raised smile, saying: "Big Brother, God It's getting dark, when can we enter the city?"

Taking advantage of the situation, he stuffed all the copper plates in his hand into his hands.

The guard raised his eyebrows, looked Li Baolu up and down, put the copper plate in his sleeve, raised his chin and said to the haughty Gu Jingyun on the cart: "Boy, imitate your sister, this is what a wise person does."

With a wave of his hand, he let go.

Zhang Sanlang watched as he hurriedly pushed the cart into the city. Gu Jingyun was too ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth. He could just walk sideways in the village, but he was so arrogant outside.

After Gu Jingyun successfully entered the city, the rest went much smoother, as long as the tax money was paid, and the tax money was equal to the value of the goods, he would be released.

A group of people met successfully in the city. Zhang Erlang glanced at Gu Jingyun who was still sitting on the cart, and said: "Today is late, and we will sell the goods tomorrow. Let's find a place to live first. Young master Gu, we used to They are all resting at the Town God's Temple, I'm afraid you won't be used to it if you are weak, look..."

Gu Jingyun is too ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and he is afraid that he will get into trouble if he takes him with him.

Gu Jingyun sneered, and was about to speak, but Li Baolu said in front of him: "Isn't there an inn not far from the Town God's Temple? Let's live there."

Li Baolu looked at Zhang Erlang coldly and said: "Second brother Zhang, don't be afraid that we will hurt you. If Jing Yun hadn't been tougher just now, none of you would have thought of entering the city. We stayed at the gate of the city for nearly half an hour. The guards are not blind."

If Gu Jingyun hadn't been tough first and then she had been soft, they would have to shed a layer of skin this time they went to the city. This is the disadvantage of backward information.

Zhang Erlang's expression changed, he looked at the child sitting on the scooter and was speechless.

Seeing Li Baolu complaining about him, Gu Jingyun turned pale, interrupted her and said, "Okay, let's go."

Turning his head and raising his chin, he told Zhang Liulang, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you take my things and follow me to the inn?"

Before coming here, Zhang Liulang patted his chest and promised to protect them every step of the way. He didn't care about the others, but Zhang Liulang wanted to follow him.

Zhang Liulang glanced at his second brother and third brother, and moved forward with small steps to pick up the Qin family's goods.
