Chapter 2997

Because Guan Yong stayed in the capital, Zhou Dalang left his daughter and son-in-law at home. It was not easy to live in the capital. The Guan family could not afford a house in the capital, and the cost of renting a house was not low.

Zhou Lixin and Guan Yong walked home through the corridor. He was relieved and said to Zhou Lixin, "after that, there are no worries at home, and the rest is to be cautious."

Zhou Lixin said, "I mentioned it. Let my father and them keep a low profile outside. They don't need to use my aunt's name."

Now they are just small officials and can't protect their family, so they still have to use Zhou man's official post when they are in trouble in business on Thursday.

Not long after the end of the Zhou family, Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu knew the result.

Knowing the result, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Zhuang smiled, sent five messengers and said to him, "it's late. You have to go to school tomorrow. Go back and have a rest."

Five heads scratched their heads. "It's noisy, sir." Then he ran away.

Mrs. Liu smiled and looked at Fang and others coming to take the crazy children back. Seeing that they had been looking back and didn't want to go, she greeted the children and said, "come and play again tomorrow. I'll ask your grandmother Zheng to make delicious snacks for you."

The children didn't struggle to go home with their mothers.

Seeing off a group of naughty children, Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to his mother-in-law, "mother, the Zhou family is not separated."

Old lady Liu nodded and said, "I heard it. It's a good thing."

Although the separation is still surnamed Zhou. For Zhou man, the six brothers are still six brothers, but they are separated, which is far less than the momentum twisted into one at this time.

Zheng also felt that this was a good thing and asked happily, "do you want to make more delicious celebrations tomorrow?"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help glancing at her. "We should keep a low profile and don't publicize it. Instead, we can make more snacks and send them. It's a good thing. Everyone can be happy."

The Zhou family was really low-key. The next day, they chose a time when not many people would work in the county government.

Because they didn't hand over Zhou man's official post, although the people in the county government knew Zhou Lijun and Zhou sirang, they didn't take them to heart.

Because both sides volunteered, they brought enough money to pay, so it was done quickly.

Zhou Lijun simply applied for an ultimatum to leave the customs. Xiang Mingxue is still a good family and is not a merchant. Although he is limited to an official position and his caravan is no smaller than that of Thursday Lang, he has a lot of fields.

The farm handed down from Xiang's ancestors, as well as the fields left over after the death of the family. In order to show mercy, express guilt and appease the nobles in the court, the emperor returned all the Yizhou king to Xiang Mingxue after he was killed.

Anything produced by trading fields is not recognized as a merchant.

On the scale of Xiang Jia's land, he wants to be recognized as a merchant unless he loses a lot of land or conducts large-scale transactions in commodities such as porcelain that are not produced in the land.

Da Jin did not only suppress businessmen, but also had advantages.

It's much more convenient to go into business when you're a merchant.

For example, the caravans set up by Wendie, Zhou sirang and other people who are not businessmen have to be stamped again at some checkpoints and passed after paying taxes;

However, the business nationality is different. They can start with an ultimatum at the place of departure, and the road is unblocked. They need to seal again unless they go out some important checkpoints.

But the speed is much faster than them, and the program is different.

Even so, the imperial court occasionally encourages businessmen and also reduces or reduces some business taxes. Originally, the 30 tax was one. In order to attract businessmen to pass the customs, some places will reduce the business tax to 40 tax one, or return part of the 30 tax one.

And these, Zhou sirang, they are not commercial, they do not have.

Of course, this is rarely the case.

Zhou Lijun ran an ultimatum in his own name and handed it to Zhou Silang. "Remember to change it along the road. When you get to xiazhou, it will be changed into my ultimatum."

Zhou Silang had a headache. "I have to change it along the road, or I'll change it next time? Otherwise, don't we have to pay another sum of money? And how can I answer when people ask? "

"Let's say I bought your business. You're in charge of me now."

Zhou Silang: "... OK, you has the final say."

Because they were low-key enough, no one noticed that the business of the Zhou family had changed quietly. When Guo county magistrate checked the accounts, he found Zhou Lijun's name. Only then did he know that the Zhou family had all their business under Zhou Lijun's name.

He picked his eyebrows, thought of the recent undercurrent in the court, closed the booklet and handed it to the master book, "no problem, seal the files."

The master bookkeeper replied that he had followed Tang He before. He knew that Tang he had a good relationship with the Zhou family. This account was also specially shown to county magistrate Guo. Seeing that he didn't seem to respond, he put it down and sealed the file according to the usual practice.

When Guo county magistrate and other master books left, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, "they are smart and can always take a quick step."

Bai Shan, who took a quick step, also asked people. Mr. Zhuang went to the work department for a walk on their behalf. Liu Huan took the initiative to walk around with him. "There are many powerful adults in the work department, including those who repair water conservancy, build palaces and gardens, and those who are good at designing weapons, but the ferry... I inquired, it seems that Lord Cui is more powerful."

"Lord Cui?"

"Yes, Mr. Cui Wei, Mr. Cui," Liu Huan looked around and whispered, "Mr. Cui's most powerful thing is to build bridges and pave roads. But Mr. Cui doesn't like Mr. Cui to enter the work department. Mr. Cui is also a little lonely and doesn't like talking to people. I may not be able to invite him."

Mr. Zhuang asked, "you said he would build a ferry. Has he built it before?"

"It's the river ferry," Liu Huan said. "I don't know much. I checked it from the archives. In the past ten years, he participated in the four ferries built with the funds of the Ministry of household, two of which were his drawings. I asked my colleagues. They all said they wanted to build the sea ferry. It's better to consult Lord Cui."

Mr. Zhuang nodded and went to visit Cui Wei with Liu Huan.

At this time, Bai Shan and Zhou man also went to Laizhou ferry. They were sitting at a small stall not far from the ferry to eat noodles. They just whispered their dislike while eating, "it's really bad. They can be ranked in the worst food I've eaten in so many years."

Mingda had put down his chopsticks and asked, "have you ever eaten worse food before?"

Zhou man didn't speak. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked up at her and said vaguely, "some people are always not good at making things."

For example, Zhou Er's sister-in-law's dishes, Zhou Silang's noodles, and all the food of manbao.

Zhou man groaned, barely finished the noodles in the bowl, and said to them, "eat quickly, don't waste."

Mingda looked at the noodles in her bowl with a tangled face. Man Bao was very gentle to her. "If you don't like it, don't eat it. First eat some snacks to cushion your stomach."

Then she pushed her bowl to Bai Erlang and ordered, "you eat."

Bai Erlang grasped the chopsticks, "I, I have a little appetite..."

Not to mention Zhou man and Bai Shan, even Mingda looked at him and lied to who. Which day did he eat less lunch?
