    Wen Wan had actually expected that he would leave sooner or later.  So when Song Luoyang said it, he was not surprised at all.  On the other hand, Song Luoyang himself felt a little embarrassed looking at Wen Wan.  Although he is a free and easy person, he provides food, accommodation and food to his own students.  Now I am still a hands-off shopkeeper, and I hurriedly took out a bunch of things, saying that they were handouts that I had made in the past three months.  It's enough to study Wenwan for a year, and he should be back in a few months.

    Wen Wan asked strangely why she came back a few months ago.  In the past, when he went out, he would come back once every two years.

    "Cough, cough, cough, Xia Fan is pregnant." Song Luoyang said happily.

    Wen Wan listened to the black line on her face, and now she realized that when she asked them to serve the teacher, she heard several maids say that the teacher was so sloppy, and no one was willing.  She knows emotionally that she wants to be his woman.  Wen Wan rubbed her head, realizing she had forgotten such a thing.

    But the problem is, no student will be like me, not only have to support the teacher, but now also have to support the teacher¡¯s wife and children.  Ebi, what he found for himself, even his father can't beat him!

    "Haha, don't worry, you don't need to keep it. I have already painted a painting and sold it in Jingshu Garden. I estimate that I can sell it for one thousand eight hundred taels. It will be enough for them to last for a while." Song Luoyang said during this period  , through Xia Fan¡¯s words, I learned that Wen Wan is actually a little money addict.  I was very touched to think that this little money fan could do this to me.  Don't be lazy anymore, just be vulgar. Who makes him his own child?  I drew a picture with all my heart.

    Song Luoyang's paintings are still very popular in the capital. Each painting with poems in it will cost more than a thousand taels.  What's deplorable is that this guy is incredibly lazy.  I can't draw a single picture all year round.  Of course, in fact, he also collected a lot of paintings in his house, and he also gave them to many people, but there are very few that have been circulated outside.

    Wen Wan curled her lips after hearing this, indicating that she understood.  The next day, the teacher set out on his journey again.  He fulfilled his wish to travel all over the world.

    When Song Luoyang left, it was already the end of June.  And since the copybook incident, these people have also seen the emperor's grandfather's shortcomings.  I don't dare to come and give her any instructions anymore.  It was a good time with no one to worry about.

    Once the teacher leaves, Wen Wan will have a lot of spare time.  As soon as Wenwan had some free time, the doll and toy store had been open for more than three months, so she thought it was time to check the accounts.

    When Wen Wan checked the accounts for more than three months, he looked over them.  I always feel like something is wrong.  After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the reason.  Call the shopkeeper to ask questions.

    The shopkeeper hasn¡¯t made a penny from the business since he took it over.  so.  I'm not afraid of finding any problems.  Just explain every channel of purchasing, workmanship, and sales in detail.  After listening to it, Ke Wenwan still felt that something was missing in some link.

    Wen Wan expressed it strangely.  The money seems to be more than I expected!  She didn't know if there was something wrong with it.

    The shopkeeper is also named Lin and is the nephew of Butler Lin.  I was dumbfounded when I heard this.  People only despise those who have less. How can they despise those who have too little?  I don¡¯t know what the princess wants to say.  Then he asked, how did the princess calculate her accounts? How could she calculate more than you?

    Wen Wan wrote down her estimated figures.  Write it down one by one in great detail, including the cost of imported materials, the monthly wages of your own servants, the wages of hiring outsiders, the wages of shop assistants, the cost of renting a store, the approximate profit, and the amount of taxes to be paid.

    My mother!  Seeing this, shopkeeper Lin was sweating. Fortunately, he came from the palace and didn't dare to be greedy.  Otherwise, as long as you are greedy for a hundred taels, you will be exposed immediately.  Shopkeeper Lin looked at the young master in front of him in awe.  Said.  Among them, the store is in the name of the prince, so there is no rent; because the store is in the name of the princess, there is no need to pay taxes.  so.  It was about 1,000 taels more than Wen Wan expected.  If these two sums were paid, it would be more than fifty taels short of what Wen Wan expected.  Fifty taels.  That's a difference Wen Wan can accept.

    Wenwan knows the mistake.  It immediately means that one is one and two is two.  There are business rules in doing business, and rent must be paid. Even if you run out of money and ask your uncle for money, the rent must be paid first.  As for taxes, they have to pay even more.  Everyone else who was doing business had to pay it, and whatever I did, I had to have that privilege, so I resolutely asked Shopkeeper Lin to hand it over.

    Wen Wan adhered to the principle of not taking advantage of the public, and gave up the handover with a very strong attitude.  The main reason is that her legal concept is too strong and she forgets that this is a privileged society.  She thought that if she didn't hand it over and was found out by the relevant departments, she would not only lose her face, but also her grandfather and uncle's face.  Might as well set an example!

    Shopkeeper Lin had no choice but to go back and report it to the chief steward.  The butler immediately shrank his head. If he handed over the money, something big would happen.  Just let him not pay it and let him complain that he is sick.  Seeing that he was sick, Wen Wan felt??It was strange, and I didn¡¯t think much about it.  Let the hired second shopkeeper do it.

    From this transaction, Wen Wan earned nearly 20,000 taels of silver and needed to pay a tax of 4,000 taels.  Wen Wan asked the second shopkeeper to hand over the money to the tax department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    What Wen Wan doesn¡¯t know is that the imperial court has recently been drastically reducing taxes every day, saying that in order to expand tax sources, more tax items must be added.  However, the specific tax items to be opened are still controversial.  The emperor was unwilling to levy taxes on the common people for fear of triggering civil unrest; but if he did not tax the common people more, how could he still tax the officials and gentry?  Now the imperial court is arguing about this every day.

    She didn¡¯t know that Wenwan was unlucky in ancient times.  Those who have a good reputation do not need to pay taxes on the property in their name.  There is no need to pay taxes on property, real estate, business, etc.  This is a privilege given to the nobles to ensure the interests of the nobles.  The miserable Wen Wan didn't know, even if the shopkeeper told her, she didn't listen.  You have to pay taxes when doing business, this is the basic knowledge.  How could you get into big trouble just for taking advantage of this?

    After receiving the money, those people felt that this matter was not a simple matter, and immediately reported it to the superiors.  The superiors also felt that this matter was not trivial, and soon the paper was in the hands of the emperor.  The emperor read the book and didn't say anything for a long time. He stayed in Yanghe Hall.

    The next day, during the morning court, the eunuch was asked to read out the matter.  Below, there was immediate silence.

    Why is everyone silent in the main hall?  Because of this, offending is not the interest of one person, but the interests of the whole.  Recently, the officials and gentry have annexed more and more land, and the share they occupy is getting bigger and bigger, and the royal court's taxes are getting less and less.  However, no one dares to open this mouth. Once he opens this mouth, he will be reviled by everyone.

    The imperial court has also been debating on this matter recently, but no one dared to take the lead, and they all retreated into hiding.  But the unlucky Wenwan didn't know the market situation, so she ran into a rush.

    Wen Wan accidentally stung this hornet's nest.  But Wenwan is only seven years old this year, so others can't scold her even if they want to.  As a seven-year-old child, you know what does and does not offend your interests.

    "I sent someone to ask Wen Wan why you have to pay taxes. Didn't the people below tell you that you don't need to pay taxes? Why do you insist? Do you know what Wen Wan said? Come and tell them what Wen Wan said  "?" The emperor looked at the people below and was quiet for a long time.  Pointing at a guard, it was the Ouchi guard.

    "Princess Wenwan listened to her minister's question and said very strangely, isn't it natural for people to pay taxes when doing business? If no one pays taxes, where will the money come from? If the government has no money, how can it pay salaries to officials?"  The guard said and paused deliberately.  It's very quiet around here.  Many people drooped their heads, wishing they had a hole in the ground and could crawl into it.  I hope the emperor will stay back and not mention their names.

    "Later, I told the princess that as long as you have a title and fame, the property under your name will be tax-free. The princess was very surprised and said that if many people have a title and fame and buy a lot of property, then wouldn't the public family be exempted from taxes?  There is no money to collect. Then she will not receive her salary in the future! Later, the minister asked if she knew what it meant if she had a title and a title. The princess shook her head and said that she didn't understand, it was too profound.  . Anyway, she knows that if the court runs out of money, she may not be able to get her salary in the future." The guards said one by one.

    "What do you say?" Looking at the group of silent ministers below, the emperor looked at it very calmly, and finally asked coolly, could it be that you are not even as good as a child?

    "Your Majesty, although the princess's words are childish, they speak to the essence. The tax year is young, and this accounts for a large part of it. I beg your majesty to rectify the tax. Otherwise, if this continues year after year, the court will be unbearable.  A heavy burden." In the end, it was Shangshu Hubu who stood up under the emperor's sharp eyes.  Then, a few more stood up.

    "You go and draw up a charter for me immediately. I hope that your performance will not be worse than that of a child. Otherwise, what use do I need you for." After speaking to the Minister of Revenue, he then spoke to the officials.  .  This time, it exploded.

    Many people say that this is the ancestral system, and the ancestral system cannot be changed at will.  Some people also say that the ancestral system only refers to the land in the name, but does not say that no taxes are paid on business and real estate.  Anyway, just have a war of words there.  The debate is one round at a time.  More and more people from the Imperial Academy, Hanlin Academy, and Cabinet were involved, and the emperor was very happy to watch.

    Hengfang Pavilion

    Wen Wan was stunned when she heard the news. She just felt that she should pay taxes and not take advantage of the public.  How could there be such a big reaction?  No wonder, no wonder the previous shopkeeper Lin was unwilling to pay taxes.  Feelings are like this.

    This matter has been going on for a long time, until later.  Many people came to talk to Wen Wan and asked her to write a letter saying that she was talking nonsense.There is talk of making everyone pay taxes.

    Wen Wan understood it very well and said that she did not say that everyone should pay taxes.  At that time, I just didn¡¯t want to take advantage of the government, so I didn¡¯t think much about it!  If you want me to submit a letter, I will do so immediately.  But how to write it, you teach me.

    The people who came to persuade me were all dumbfounded.  You want to scold but you can't. You tell her that it has violated the interests of many people and broken the ancestral rules.  What does she know.

    Look, Wen Wan immediately looked scared.  He carefully asks you if you have made any big mistake that you don't even know about.  If it is true, I need to make up for it quickly. Please help me.  As a result, everyone who tried to persuade her to come forward was speechless.  (To be continued)
