"Brother Li, please stay!" Su Yingxiong shouted, "Brother Li, why don't you try to pay back the price?"
Li Qi looked at the fat man and said angrily: "Are you going to sell it for one hundred taels?"
"make a deal!"
Before Li Qi could react, Su Yingxiong directly held his hand: "A gentleman's words are hard to chase, so that's it!"
Damn it!
Li Qi suddenly felt that something was not right about his painting style. What is going on?
After staring at Su Yingxiong's fat face carefully for a while, Li Qi felt as if he had been fooled, but he didn't seem to be fooled...
"Brother Li, if you give me one hundred taels now, I will give you the title deed of Cuihong Building right away."
Li Qi glanced at Tu Boshu and saw that she seemed to have nothing to do with her, drinking tea leisurely and fanning herself.
It doesn’t seem like a loss to buy a Cuihonglou for one hundred taels, right?
After all, yesterday, as Tu Boshu said, he made a profit of one hundred taels.
Even if you make ten taels a day, you still have three free taels a month.
But why did this damn fat man sell it to himself for only one hundred taels?
He needs money urgently?
Or is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
After all calculations, this transaction is not a loss, but why do I always feel like I am going to be cheated?
This little fat guy is so cute, what bad intentions could he have?
Li Qi gritted his teeth and took out the banknotes from his arms without saying a word: "You said you sold me, don't regret it."
Seeing the banknote that Li Qi took out, he grabbed it and counted it: "I will definitely not regret it! I will have someone change the title deed and send it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yingxiong disappeared in a flash, running faster than the rabbit's father.
Li Qi sat back down and looked at Tu Boshu: "Brother Tu, why do I feel like I have lost money? Did I lose money?"
Tu Boshu put away his fan and said with a smile: "It depends on how Brother Li manages Cuihong Building."
"kindness?"
"If you can keep Cuihonglou's monthly income at a profit of more than one hundred taels, then Brother Li will still make money, but if you can't reach this figure, I'm afraid..."
"How do you say this?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask.
"Don't Brother Li know about the hustle and bustle tax?"
"What is the heirloom tax?"
Tu Boshu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Qi really didn't know. He looked like "No wonder you bought Cuihong Mansion."
"In our Great Xia Dynasty, there were a lot of taxes. The brothels were divided into Qing Guanhuan and Red Guanren. Qing Guanhuan refers to the prostitution of artists but not one's body, and the Red Guanhui refers to the prostitution of both art and one's body..."
Seeing that Li Qi's face turned ugly, Tu Boshu smiled bitterly and continued: "For example, the Cuihong Mansion belongs to the red hustle and bustle building. The hustle and bustle tax is one hundred taels of silver per month and one thousand taels of silver per year. All of this money has to be paid to the government."
.”
"What are you talking about? One hundred taels of taxes a month?"
Tu Boshu nodded: "Not bad."
"What if you can't afford the tax?"
"Tax is paid almost every year. If the one-year deadline is up and the tax is not paid in full or cannot be paid, the payment deadline will be delayed for three months. If it is not paid by the due date, certain penalties will be imposed depending on the difference.
Those with a large difference will be sent to jail, those with a small difference..."
"Wait! What did you say? If you can't pay your taxes, you will go to jail?"
"Not bad." Tu Boshu nodded.
Li Qi was confused, completely confused.
They say taxes were heavy in ancient times, but it’s not like you’d go to jail if you don’t pay taxes, right?
"In my opinion, Cuihonglou should be due to pay taxes soon..." Tu Boshu added.
Li Qi was instantly petrified on the spot, no wonder that damn fat man agreed so quickly.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood immediately.
That fat guy Su Yingxiong came to Jincheng this time not to sell any wood, but probably to pay taxes!
That is to say, his family asked him to use the money from selling the wood and the money he brought to pay the taxes on Cuihong Building.
As a result, this damn fat man went gambling and lost all his money, so he found that he wanted to become a living horse doctor, and left Cuihong Mansion to be taken care of by him, hoping to make up some money.
Seeing that he couldn't make up for it, he thought of selling Cuihong Building. When he went back, he could tell his family that Cuihong Building was not managed well and he could pay less tax by selling it.
This time I really became the scapegoat, and I thought I made a profit after being betrayed!
Su Yingxiong!
Damn fat man!
You and I are inseparable, come back!
Li Qi stood up fiercely and was about to go find Su Yingxiong when Tu Boshu reminded him: "It's too late now. I'm afraid the land deed has been improved and sent to Cuihong Mansion."
"I……"
Li Qi suddenly didn't know what to say and sat down on the chair, his whole body like a deflated rubber ball.
Suddenly he thought of something: "What's the use of his change? I won't admit it then..."
Tu Boshu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, it seems that you know very little about Daxia's laws."
"I hope Brother Tu can clear up the doubts."
"Is it true that you took over Cuihong Mansion?"
Li Qi nodded.
"Cuihonglou also recognizes you as its boss, right?"
Li Qi nodded again.
"The deed is in your name. Do you think you don't recognize it? Will the government believe it? And there are so many witnesses. I'm afraid the government will charge you with fraud. You will be punished for both crimes and you will be punished for ten years and eight years.
Year, it’s impossible for you to come out.”
Li Qi suddenly thought of something: "You already knew this?"
Tu Boshu nodded.
"Then why did you just..."
Tu Boshu smiled brightly: "This is a matter between you and Brother Su. It's really not easy for me as an outsider to interfere."
Li Qi suppressed the small universe that was about to explode in his heart, wishing he could rip off the skin of that damn fat man.
"Actually, Brother Li, don't panic. Calculating, there are still two months left to pay taxes at Cuihong Mansion. As long as you collect the taxes and fees within this time, you will be fine."
Li Qi sighed and said, "It's easier said than done."
"It may be difficult for others, but for you, Brother Li, I don't think it is difficult."
Tu Boshu said and added: "And brother Li, don't forget, as long as you are willing to help me, my thousand taels may be able to solve brother Li's urgent need."
Li Qi stared at the groundhog, this guy's feelings were waiting for him here.
No wonder you didn't stop me before. It turned out that you wanted to force yourself to do something for her.
As the saying goes, the greater the reward, the greater the risk. I am afraid that this one thousand taels is not as profitable as I thought.
But now even if I don't want to agree, I can't...
Damn Su Yingxiong, the cunning groundhog.
One day, I will let you know that this young master is not so easy to bully!
I really want to cry...
It’s true that in ancient times, people couldn’t help themselves, and every turn turned into a pit.
"At this point, I can only lend a helping hand to Brother Tu." Li Qi gritted his teeth and swallowed it, crying with a sad face.
Tu Boshu smiled and said: "Brother Li, don't be so pessimistic. As long as you survive this year, you will be the real owner of Cuihong Mansion next year. By then, I believe Brother Li will definitely make a lot of money."
Li Qi sighed, cupped his hands and said, "With Brother Tu's good words, I will go and help Brother Tu check the accounts tomorrow."
The corners of Tu Boshu's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
