Huanshui Manor.

"By the way, this is the defensive formation flag, and the general flag is for you." Lin Mengge said.

"Defensive array flag? Have you prepared it?" Mu Hanchan was puzzled.

"Yes. The day after you went to Huizhou, the people from the Spirit Array Store had already come to build the formation."

"Oh. I paid for the spirit stone at that time, but he said the formation master was not there. So I came after I left. I gave the address."

Mu Hanchan said.

"You are so willing to do it. This set of high-level array flags costs one or two hundred spirit stones, right? Xiao Ren was there at that time, and the formation was over, and I only realized it.

Because the eyes of the array were to be placed in the Huxin Pavilion, I was alarmed."

"Ah, you only realized when you got to you? Your vigilance is a little low." Mu Hanchan said.

Lin Mengge gave him a blank look and said, "I don't have a look on the sky, nor a hundred li. The manor is so big, how can I know that there are outsiders?"

"That's why I decided to get a set of advanced protective array flags. The main thing is that you are here and you need to protect your safety. Just like when I was doing a task ahead, I was gone, and no one could invade at will."

Lin Mengge asked: "How effective is this array flag?"

"Not even below the Ningling Realm can enter." Mu Hanchan replied.

"So awesome?"

"Yes. Now the manor has installed an advanced defense system, so we can sleep peacefully at night."

"Hehe. That's great." Lin Mengge said.

Suddenly he remembered something and said, "I'll tell you, that Xiao Ren doesn't seem to want to hand over the formation flag to me as soon as possible, but after hesitation, he gave it to me."

"He is not familiar with you, and there is still..." Mu Hanchan said, hesitating for a moment.

"what else?"

"Also, he can't be sure if you are the only hostess. If it were me, I would definitely wait until the host comes back and hand it over to the host in person."

Mu Hanchan said.

"Do you dare to have other women?" Lin Mengge asked.

Before Mu Hanchan could answer, he asked again: "If you have other women, then I would have paid the wrong payment."

Thinking of the intimate bathing two days ago, Lin Mengge couldn't help but feel ashamed and upset, not knowing why he was so angry at that time.

"No, I just analyze why he hesitated."

"All right."

"How did he give it to you?"

Lin Mengge stamped his feet and said angrily: "You can't say that he is very rude. He threw the general flag to me by a distance of ten feet. I almost couldn't catch it."

"Hehe. I understand." Mu Hanchan smiled.

Lin Mengge asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Mu Hanchan did not answer again, but began to recognize the chief guard from his heart.

Demonic Sect.

"Senior Brother Tianqiong, my three disciples have completed the spiritual realm of two realms. I hope the senior brother of the sect will give you the name." said a middle-aged man.

The person the middle-aged man speaks is Mo Qian.

Mo Qian replied, "Didn't my Demonic Sect give me the words only when I arrived at the Ningling Realm? This is the rule set by Master when he set up the Sect. I can't agree to your request. Please come back with your junior brother Tianhui."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother, you also know that the Ningling Realm is really not easy for these juniors. Besides, my disciples and I have never had the intention to compete for the head.

I didn't have it before, and I also told my disciples that I can't have it in my lifetime."

"This has nothing to do with whom the head comes from. If I don't have a suitable successor, I can also pass it on to my disciples. Our disciples are first of all, all of whom are under the Demons.

Secondly, who is under the seat?" Mo Qian replied on the other hand.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "It would be great if Senior Brother Tiandu was here. The two disciples under his sect are now close to the spiritual pill. Will the senior brother of the sect give them resources and help?"

When he suddenly mentioned Senior Brother Tiandu, Mo Qian's eyes were dodging and his expression became subtle. It was just that the middle-aged man expressed his feelings on his own without realizing it.

"The resources must be helped, after all, they are the inheritance of the elder brother's legacy. However, our resources are limited. I will test them first, and then give them resources based on their performance. You have any opinions on this, junior brother.

"Mo Qian asked.

"Of course I don't have it." The middle-aged man replied.

He suddenly asked, "What about junior brother who is surrendered that day? What are you going to do? He seems to be wandering away now and wants to come back."

"I want to come back, after all, Master just exiled him, and did not fire him. He is still my Demon Sheng Sect, my junior brother, and the fourth uncle of my disciple."

Mo Qian said, and suddenly said, "But..."

"Um?"

"But when you come back, just be honest, recognize yourself and learn from your lessons. Don't have any other intentions." Mo Qian said.

The middle-aged man said, "I understand, senior brother of the sect."

Mo Qian said earnestly: "Su Shan, the time difference between us two is not far from becoming a disciple. Senior Brother Tiandu died early and was about to break through Hunyuan, but unfortunately he died unexpectedly.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be my turn to be the master of this sect.

Junior Brother Tianzui was late again, and he didn't have the elixir when his master left.

To be honest, the heavy responsibility of this subject is on me. I really hope that someone can understand and share it.”

"I understand, senior brother of the sect. Su Shan will do his best to help the senior brother carry forward my Demonic Sect and fulfill my Master's last wish." Su Shan said resolutely.

After a while.

"By the way, senior brother of the sect, I heard that you have accepted two disciples recently?"

"Yes, but one has been around for a while. It was about ten years ago. The other one was recently received." Mo Qian replied.

"Haha. I just went into seclusion ten years ago. When I have time, let these two disciples come to visit me so I can give them a meeting gift."

"Yes, it depends on your junior brother's wishes."

"How about these two disciples? I'm ready for a suitable meeting gift," Su Shan asked.

Mo Qian pondered for a while, and said with his chin, "The sixth son is just like a small wood. The seventh son, I have little contact with him and don't know much about it. But he has a strong personality. He is very brave and confident. Yes

Good piece of stone.

As for whether it is a pillar or a floor tiles, it depends on future development.”

"Okay, senior brother, I understand." Su Shan replied.

Huanshui Manor.

"This quarter, tea income was 13 taels of gold. Excluding the tea merchant's dispatch fee of 4 taels of gold, the tea seed cost was 2 taels of gold, and the profit was 7 taels of gold."

A housekeeper said.

"This quarter, tobacco income was 25 taels of gold. Excluding the processing fee of 5 taels of gold, the tobacco cost was 1 tael of gold, and the profit was 19 taels of gold."

Another housekeeper said.

"This quarter, the wine brewing revenue was 11 taels of gold. Excluding the renting fee of 1 tael of gold in the wine jar, and the raw materials of 4 taels of gold, the profit earned was 6 taels of gold."

Another housekeeper said.

Mu Hanchan interrupted, "No need to say anything about Si, and Xiang's words are not profitable now. The above is the profit I have made, right?"

"Yes. But..." said one of the butlers, but hesitated.

"how?"

"It's your profit, but you also need to pay taxes to the Ministry of Revenue in the Great Yan Imperial City."

Another housekeeper reminded.

“How much tax is paid?”

"In theory, you need to pay a 25% tea tax, a 65% tobacco tax, and a 15% alcohol tax."

“…”

Hearing this, Mu Hanchan frowned.

Asked, “How many left do I have in this way?”

"If you think it's too much, you can choose to evade taxes or avoid taxes."

“What are the adverse consequences of this?”

"Tax evasion is discovered. If it is the last link, the one who has the greatest benefits will be punished by 300% of the turnover, and if it comes from a source like you, it will be fined by 150% of the cost."

“What if you avoid taxes?”
