: Sharing the Second Master’s Worry

"The eldest young lady has been seriously ill recently. She has been unable to get out of bed for several days. The doctor has come several times, but she doesn't seem to be getting better. She said that it is really not possible to bother the old lady and ask the imperial physician in the palace to come and take a look."

"That's it." He Yanxiu narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the first point He Yande said is correct.

In the past, I only thought that the two of them just had a weak relationship, but now it seems that they are indeed on the same page, and even now, they don't even bother to do anything superficial.

No wonder He Yande wanted to think of such a way out.

I just don’t know who is behind this Fang family...

After all, as she comes from a family with a sinecure like the fourth-ranking official in the Ministry of Etiquette, she has no motive to do these things.

All things considered, these are all troubles caused by power struggles.

He Yanxiu could suddenly understand why Su Yujin, although she treated him with all her heart and fulfilled her duties as a servant, did not try to win favors at all.

Presumably she doesn't like the internal disputes among these high-ranking families, and the power vortex that she may be involved in at any time.

Like her, opening a shop, doing business, and occasionally cooking delicious food is probably the most comfortable and comfortable life.

I don’t know if I can live that kind of life in the future. If not, what should I do...

But when I think of Su Yujin, I miss the copper pot shabu-shabu she made.

After all, on such a chilly day, it would be such a wonderful enjoyment to cook thinly sliced ​​mutton around a small stove and eat a steaming bowl.

But now, there is no time to go to Qinghe County...

He Yanxiu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, the look on his face became more and more solemn.

Xing'an was extremely worried when he saw this.

The second master must have encountered something extremely difficult to handle. If I could help the second master to share his worries...

He Yanxiu suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, "Let the kitchen cut some mutton for shabu-shabu and eat it, um, with some vegetables and so on."

"By the way, let's see if the small kitchen can make hand-baked fish balls. If so, I'll make some too."

Xing'an, "..."

The second master hesitated for a long time. Was he hesitating to eat?

It seems that he can indeed share the worries of the second master, and he can do so very happily...

——

The affairs of the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Although Su Yujin did not participate too much, he often heard Wu Jiantong mention a lot about standardizing business rules, helping the weak, resolving disputes, and most importantly, dealing with court taxes.

The imperial court levied a municipal tax on merchants in Qinghe County, charging it at 3% of the price of the goods sold. On the surface, it seemed fair and reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, this regulation ignored the issue of profit.

For example, the profit of gold and silver jewelry is 40% to 50%, the profit of cloth shops and restaurants is 30% to 40%, the profit of medicine shops is 30%, the profit of groceries is only about 20%, and the profit of rice, flour and food is even lower.

If taxes are enacted, it will make industries with lower profits more taxed and difficult to develop. It will also make many businesses only want to engage in industries with high profits. Vicious competition will be extremely detrimental to the development of merchants in Qinghe County.

unfavorable.

After some discussions, the Chamber of Commerce discussed with the Yamen to change the city tax rules and formulate corresponding city tax ratios according to different industries, and set corresponding leverage according to the area of ​​the store and the approximate daily sales. The tax for the second year

The tax will be adjusted in a timely manner based on the actual tax situation in the first year.

Tathagata's arrival can not only ensure the government's tax revenue, but also be very beneficial to many merchants with relatively low profits and operating difficulties. For merchants with relatively good lean conditions, an increase of one or two points will not have much impact. It can be said that everyone is happy.

.

In order to balance the psychology of merchants who pay more taxes, the Chamber of Commerce funded the production of ten plaques, inscribed by the county magistrate, and awarded them to the shops with the largest tax payments each year as a reward. At the same time, it also encouraged other merchants to concentrate on doing business and strive to obtain corresponding rewards.

of honor.

As soon as the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce came out, all the shops disagreed, and those with relatively large businesses were even more eager to do their best to do business well.

There was even a family that was a businessman for several generations. They were very coveted on the plaque with the county magistrate's inscription, and they just wanted to take the initiative to increase the tax rate so that their shop could become the one with the largest tax payment.

Naturally, I was persuaded to come back...

The business of Huibinlou and Suji has been stable, with steady growth.

When Su Yujin was bored at home, she would go to Huibinlou and help Su Ji to pass the time.

Today, Green He had a cold, and Jin Gui also had a cough due to the infection, so Su Yujin and Mugwort helped cook noodles and make wontons at Su Ji.

At noon, there is an endless stream of guests, which is the busiest time.

A ragged little beggar shouted outside the door, "Who is Sister Shuangye?"

Calling someone by name outside like this was most likely a message. Seeing this, Shuangye hurriedly washed his hands and walked over while wiping water drops on his apron, "I am, are you looking for me?"

"Someone asked me to bring a message to Sister Shuangye, saying that Yu Xiucai was beaten in Xisan Alley on East Street. He couldn't stand up now. Those people were a little cruel. Some people were afraid of something happening, so let me

Come look for Sister Shuangye, and ask Sister Shuangye to come over and stop her quickly so that nothing happens."

Yu Yongye was beaten?

Xisan Hutong on East Main Street is near the County School. Did someone get into trouble after graduating from the County School?

Shuangye's face turned pale and he was a little confused.

"Sister Shuangye, go quickly. If you are late, something might happen!" The little beggar was also a little anxious, "I have brought my words with you, and the other things have nothing to do with me, so I won't care about it."

After that, he walked away.

Shuangye came to his senses, stretched out his hand to take off his apron, and went back to ask for leave from Su Yujin.

It was clear in the daytime, a great scholar was actually beaten?

Su Yujin raised her slender eyebrows slightly, "I guess it's not a good thing that the other party is so bold. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go alone. You'd better go to the Huibin Building and ask a few capable boys to go there together."

If the opponent has a large number of people, he can still deal with it.

"Call a few more."

After Su Yujin finished speaking, she was afraid that Shuangye would be embarrassed, so she simply told others to look after the work, and she and Shuangye left Su Ji's shop together.

As soon as I left the shop, I was stopped by another little beggar.

"Sister Su!"

Su Yujin looked very familiar to the little beggar in front of her, "You are..."

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Have you finished eating the sesame biscuits?"

"My name is Huzi. I haven't finished the sesame cakes sent by Sister Su yet. Thanks to Sister Su's kindness, the four of us are not hungry during this period."

Huzi grinned, then looked serious, "What did the little beggar say when he came looking for someone just now?"

The names and ratios of municipal taxes are different in each dynasty, and some of the tax policies of the Song Dynasty were borrowed from them~

Dear little cuties, you must take good precautions. Today is the third day that the author has a fever. The temperature fluctuates high and low. When it drops, it starts to burn again. My whole body aches, especially my back and waist. I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Today, I experienced loss of taste and nausea.

As for the condition of phlegm cough, the nucleic acid is currently negative, but according to Yang Guo’s

He said that it may not be possible to detect it until the fever has completely subsided. Judging from my symptoms and the situation in the city where I am currently (Hebei, which is the most serious)... In short, the new crown is still much more uncomfortable than the flu. Can it be done?

You still don’t want to get it, so you must take precautions and be sure to
