Yun Ye finally found the reason why he didn't want to stay with Li Er because when he was with him, he could always hear that so-and-so had been beheaded, and his head was put in a box and would be sent to the imperial court for viewing, and his head was on the neck of a living person.
No matter how ugly it is, Yun Ye can still see it as long as he is careful, but once this thing is taken off from his neck, no matter how beautiful the beauty is looking at you with a pair of dead fish eyes, Yun Ye will not be able to notice the slightest sense of beauty.
I just want to vomit. Ever since Li Er forced me to watch someone being buried alive last time, my sensitive point for vomiting has not become blunted, but has become more acute. Now whenever I hear words like human heads, my mouth and nose are filled with blood.
Gas, stomach discomfort.
Li Er ordered a large table of dishes, and he ordered whatever was expensive. The wine jar was opened, but he didn't eat a bite when the food came. He fluttered his sleeves and was about to go to Tongtie Lane to drink glutinous rice. Although Yun Ye tried hard to persuade him.
The glutinous rice wine of the restaurant is very delicious. It is the same as the glutinous rice grains of the Yushan Academy Huangshu family. It is far from being comparable to the rusty smell of Tongtiexiang glutinous rice. Li Er still left the restaurant, seeing that his goal seemed to be to continue the misfortune.
Du Ruhui's shop.
He was holding his breath. Li Er was very unhappy today. He walked forward with his hands behind his back. Yun Ye followed closely behind. The eldest grandson did not dare to neglect. Marrying such a husband is nothing like marrying a monkey.
the difference.
This shop has a huge front door. The shop door is as tall as a square gate, and it looks like it is not accessible to poor people. Li Er pointed at the front of the shop and asked Yun Ye: "Whose house does this belong to?"
"It seems to be the spice shop of Weichen's family." Yun Ye replied with a twitching face.
Li Er groaned and continued to walk forward. A store specializing in selling pearls was right in front of him. The merchant was very proud. The glass jars were filled with pearls, which were placed on the counter like rice. There were many women sitting on the chairs.
Thread the pearls of various colors you selected with silk thread. Only when you are satisfied with the matching will you know how to settle. Then you can wear a necklace or bracelet made of pearls, or a walking stick made of pearls, and walk away surrounded by minions.
"Whose shop is this?" Li Er couldn't help but ask again when he saw the smiling shopkeeper taking out a bunch of pearls of various colors from behind and placing them on the small table in front of a noble lady.
"The gatekeeper's face has the word Yunfeng written on it. Probably, maybe... he is from the Weichen family."
Li Er stared at Yun Ye's face and said fiercely: "Can you tell me that the shop on this street is not yours?"
"That house! The house where you guard the front door looks like a city. The money you make is simply lawless. The other houses are all working hard to earn a few pieces of silver. Only that house sells goods by boat.
, their family even does business in Tianzhu. As long as it is something that can be made into clothes, his family has no shortage of it. The most outrageous thing is that his family even sells fishing nets. "
It was all unlucky. Li Er had a habit of looking to the right when walking, but several of the Yun family's shops were on the right. The crowds of people at Du Ruhui's grain store across the street were obviously even more exaggerated, but Li Er turned a blind eye.
Changsun's cold voice came from behind: "Your Majesty, you really should take a look at that shop, that's Hengshun. By the way, see how they make money so lawlessly. Maybe they can do some harm to the people today." The last four
The eldest grandson said the words harshly and harshly.
Fang Xuanling was smiling and discussing with Du Ruhui the daily flow of Yuezhou City. Li Tai crossed his hands and looked at the sky with his two thumbs circling each other, seeming very busy.
Li Er smiled and said: "Don't worry, since you see something you like, you have to go in and take a look. The pearls have begun to be packed in jars. Chang An can't see such a arrogant shop."
Changsun Yanran smiled and said: "Your Majesty rarely has time to go shopping, so he happened to help me choose a pearl chain."
The shopkeeper of the Yun family saw Mr. Hou come in, and was about to greet him when he saw that Mr. Hou's mouth was turning to the sky. Lao Shao is the big shopkeeper of the Yun family who specializes in pearl trading. He is from Lingnan and has a dark appearance.
, but his mind is very flexible. He can think of a man and a woman who can make his prince follow behind him without daring to speak. Apart from the emperor and empress, he can think of someone else.
The dark-skinned man was sweating very unsightly. Li Er and Changsun both sat on the chairs, but he still stood at the door and made a show, which was worse than the shopkeeper of Fang Xuanling's family.
"Just hold on, Lao Shao. Go ahead and bring out the best pearls in the store. I'll take care of the rest." What Yun Ye said in Lao Shao's ear saved him. He moved his legs to the back with difficulty.
.
After a while, five or six small glass jars were placed on a large wooden plate. The smallest pearls in them were as big as a longan. Among them, a golden running bead on the plate was the most eye-catching.
Yun Ye helped Lao Shao place the pearl plate next to Li Er. Lao Shao did not dare to approach the emperor and his wife. The eldest grandson used his long nails to flick the big pearl on the plate. The big pearl was on the disk.
It kept rolling inside, and the light was very beautiful. The eldest grandson seemed to be very happy.
When he saw the guests appreciating pearls, Lao Shao forgot his fear. He had been friends with pearls his whole life, and now he was naturally fearless when it came to his own profession. This is the dignity of an expert.
"The bead you are looking at comes from the South China Sea. Because the beads were fished too much during the Han Dynasty, the sea mussels in the sea have not fully recovered until now. The possibility of large beads naturally appearing in old sea mussels is
Not high, I dare to pat my chest and assure you that this is an authentic South China Sea traveling bead.
The preciousness of a pearl lies in its size, roundness, color and place of origin. This is a golden heterochromatic pearl. It is rare to see one among millions of pearls, let alone such a huge and round one, which is called
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no such thing as a rare pearl. The noble person himself is graceful and luxurious. If you use this bead to make a hairpin, it will definitely complement each other."
The eldest grandson nodded, asked the emperor's opinion, and ordered the work to be packed in a box. Aunt Hong held it in her hand. Seeing the business deal, Lao Shao was even more happy, and pointed at a box of silver pearls from a distance and said
"My lord, please look at the jar of pearls on the left. There are thirty-six pearls in total, implying the number of Tiangang. They are even in size and color. They are all the best silver. This kind of pearl is called moonlight in the industry, which means that the color of the pearl is like moonlight."
So gentle, it is the best choice for making bead necklaces.
The jar of pink pearls on your right is called Boy's Noodles, also known as Beauty Zui. There are only twenty-eight of them, which is also very rare. However, this jar of pearls is not sold in the store. The young lady in the mansion is getting married this year.
, this jar of pearls has been selected to make jewelry.
Hearing Lao Shao's eloquent explanation, Yun Ye's heart bleeds. These are all the treasures in the pearl shop. Now that the eldest grandson is interested in them, there is no reason to be spared. How can they still be expected to survive?
Can't the couple pay the bill?
The eldest grandson had already picked up the baby's face, but when he heard Lao Shao say it was Xiaoya's dowry, he put it down again. He couldn't compete with his daughter-in-law for jewelry.
When Li Er heard that the Yun family had begun to prepare Xiaoya's dowry, the cloud on his face could not help but lighten up. Just as he was about to leave, he found four men walking in the door, led by a clerk wearing a soft hat and smiling at him.
Old Shao Gong cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on getting rich, Shopkeeper Shao. We are also happy to see that your business is booming."
You bring the account books and give us a quiet room so that we can calculate your taxes for this quarter without disturbing you in doing business and entertaining distinguished guests. "Clerics all rely on their eye for price. After entering, I took a look at the hall and realized that
The few people here are very extraordinary, and they even went to Li Er and Changsun specifically.
Lao Shao quickly brought the account books and asked his assistant to take them to the next door room to settle the accounts. They really shouldn't stay here. If the official's temper breaks out, they are asking for trouble. Lao Zhang is a nice person, don't
onto this matter.
"Let's do the calculation here. You, it's you, bring over their past tax payment records and let me take a look." Li Er casually ordered the clerks.
Chief Zhang frowned and said: "The noble status is well understood by the junior officials, and they must not dare to neglect it. However, Hu Cao's account books should not be shown to outsiders. This is stipulated by the national law. The laws are strict and the junior officials dare not
If there is any violation, if the nobleman has a warrant from Hucao to join the army, there will be no taboos."
Li Er was stunned for a moment. Very few people refused his request. He was about to get angry, but when he heard the clerk said that this was something that was not allowed by law, he lost his temper and cast a questioning look at Fang Xuanling.
"Indeed, the Ministry of Accounts issued the "Account Book Order" three years ago. One of the provisions states that non-relevant persons are not allowed to peek into the account books. Violators will be punished with thirty rods and three thousand miles of migration. This little official is a sensible person and should not
Harsh."
Li Er nodded and said to the clerk: "Now you can show me the account books, and no one will hold you accountable."
Master Zhang wanted to insist a little longer, but Lao Shao said to him: "Master Zhang, just show the account books to this noble man. It will be fine. Don't worry, you have obtained permission. I, Lao Shao, can't
It will harm you."
Seeing that Lao Shao was the guarantor, Master Zhang handed the account book to Duan Hong, who was coming towards him, and obediently stepped aside to wait for the nobleman's consultation.
"In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Yuezhou Prefecture collected a total of four items and 16 payments of pearl tax, totaling 1,035 silver coins. There is a record of the payment of silver coins and the deposit into the treasury. I think there is no deviation. I just want to ask
You, what is the reason for this one hundred and thirty-three tax refund? I have never heard that silver coins that have been put into the national treasury will be refunded."
Fang Xuanling was about to explain. After thinking about it, he gave the opportunity to the clerk to listen to what he had to say.
"Your Majesty, there are three situations of tax refund. One is tax refund, tax refund is wrongly received, and the third is tax refund related to foreign affairs. The tax refund of Pearl House is tax refund, reduction or exemption. In the thirteenth year, His Majesty, in order to pray for the sick Emperor,
He ordered a tax reduction of 10% of the world's taxes, and Yuezhou will naturally implement it. Since Yuezhou collects taxes at the beginning of autumn, and His Majesty's decree was issued at the end of autumn, so according to the regulations, one hundred silver coins were returned to the Pearl Bank, and the remaining
The thirty-three silver coins placed below belong to the category of foreign-related tax refunds."
