Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 77 Transaction Taxes
The defense of this exchange is simply extremely tight.

Under the table, there are rows of tables and chairs.

There are many people, sitting on stools, looking at the wooden boards on the wall.

"Oops! That hundred-yuan food stamp was sold, and the price is 120 yuan for one yuan!"

"It's gone up! It's gone up again!"

"I want the 3-word one on the 120rd!"

"I want the 8-word one on the 125rd!"

"You also want 125 Wen? This has just increased to 120 Wen!"

"Hey! Don't you understand? It was only 80 Wen yesterday morning! It was only 100 Wen last night.

Now there are only a few copies of 120 articles, and they are all sold out.

It is said to be 120 Wen, but you can’t buy it at that price!

Just look at it, it’s 125 Wen, and it’s guaranteed to rise to 130 Wen in the afternoon.

I bought it for 200 yuan, and I can earn 100 yuan if I resell it! "

"..."

A group of people shouted loudly.

Li Gaoyi roughly understood it too.

These people are all buying food stamps.

On the wooden signs hanging on the wall, there is a piece of paper that reads:

"No. 3, sell food stamps for 10 yuan, price: 120 Wen/yuan."

"No. 8, sell food stamps for 200 yuan, price: 125 Wen/yuan."

"..."

Something like this.

After watching it for a while, Li Gaoyi understood what the exchange meant.

Those sitting below are all buying and selling food stamps.

And if anyone wants to sell food stamps, they can't do it privately, they have to write it on a sign and hang it on the wall.

Every time you buy or sell, as long as you don't tell, others don't know who the buyer and seller are.

The entire transaction can be registered and traded by two young men in robes next to them.

However, after each transaction, a certain tax is charged.

Buyers and sellers must pay.

The taxes and fees are not high. Both parties pay separately, and only need to pay two Wen for every thousand Wen.

Li Gaoyi let out a sigh of relief.

"Zhao Cheng is really a man of great wisdom!
For every transaction, both buying and selling are paid, and Zhao Cheng can earn 4 Wen for a transaction of [-] Wen. "

At first glance, it doesn't seem like much.

But, with so many people here constantly buying and selling...

This is also a lot of tax revenue.

At the same time, Li Gaoyi was also emotional.

More than a month ago, when I first met Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng was just an ordinary pier.

He was even looked down upon by his colleagues on the same mound, and was called the second fool.

Now, in Qiangdi, he is regarded as a god by others.

Look at the words on the wall:
Listen to Master Zhao's words and follow Master Zhao.

This is definitely the voice of every Stronglander.

"what?"

Then, Li Gaoyi saw an acquaintance.

Subconsciously shrinking his neck, he wanted to hide.

Zhang Wei!

Zhang Baihu was also here.

Previously, Li Gaoyi had sent a letter to Zhao Cheng under Zhang Wei's order.

According to the order, after passing the order, he was supposed to go to the chemical sales camp to join Zhang Wei and participate in the encirclement and suppression of Diandengzi.

But Li Gaoyi saw the way to get rich, and felt that Zhang Wei had offended Zhao Cheng, so he might not end well.

So he put his wealth in, bought another horse, and bought some goods.

One man and two horses, carrying goods out of the fortress for trade.

Relying on the relationship established by the housekeeper, as well as his familiarity with inside and outside the Xuan Mansion, he succeeded!

Earned the first silver.

Just when he was about to come back and make persistent efforts, he ran into Zhang Baihu.

Li Gaoyi felt guilty for a while, turned around and wanted to leave.

It's a pity that Zhang Wei also turned his head, and the two looked at each other.

Li Gaoyi froze.

Can't go.

If you leave at this time, it will seem too deliberate.

"Master Baihu! Why are you... here?"

Li Gaoyi gave a dry laugh, and bravely stepped forward to say hello.

To Li Gaoyi's surprise, Zhang Wei was alone.

These days, it's not so peaceful.

Usually when Zhang Baihu travels, he always has to follow his servants.

In Li Gaoyi's view, it was mainly because Zhang Baihu had done too many bad things, afraid of being retaliated and beaten up, so he didn't dare to go out alone.

Especially here is a strong place.

There should be conflicts between Zhao Cheng and Zhang Wei.

How dare Zhang Wei stay here alone, without even bringing a servant?
"Don't look, it's just me!"

In front of Zhang Baihu, there was a pot of tea and a teacup, and he drank it leisurely.

"I am now Master Zhao's guest."

Master Zhao's guest?

Li Gaoyi was a little confused.

It seems that Qiangdi should be Zhang Baihu's territory!

However, he can roughly see it now, it seems that Zhang Baihu has succumbed to Zhao Cheng?
He just came back from outside the Great Wall, so he didn't know what happened before, but he could tell from various signs.

"Li Gaoyi, you are still a good person.

I don't ask you what you did before, why you didn't arrive in time to suppress the bandits in the marketing camp.

I know you must have difficulties.

The only one I can trust right now is you.

You help me go on a trip and send me a letter when you get home. "

Zhang Wei took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

Beads of sweat began to appear on Li Gaoyi's head.

Zhang Wei looks like he can't leave here?

Doesn't that mean that it is equivalent to being placed under house arrest by Zhao Cheng!
Zhang Wei wouldn't ask him to help him go back to deliver the message and move the rescuers, right?
Li Gaoyi was confused.

Anyway, Zhang Wei is his old boss.

Now that Zhang Wei is in trouble, it is said that he should help.

But Zhang Weiming pretended not to be able to beat Zhao Cheng!

If he offended Zhao Cheng because of this, how could Li Gaoyi be in a strong position in the future?

Li Gaoyi is also counting on making a fortune in Qiangdi and becoming a wealthy family!

"Huh? You don't want to?"

Seeing Li Gaoyi's hesitation, Zhang Wei frowned, feeling unhappy.

"No, my lord!"

Li Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said.

"If your lord wants to leave the strong place, you'd better discuss it with your lord Zhao.

The subordinates saw that Mr. Zhao was not unreasonable.

If my lord wants to leave quietly, or use other means to offend my lord Zhao, I'm afraid the consequences will be even worse.

The subordinates are willing to help the adults to intercede!
I believe Mr. Zhao will not embarrass Mr. Zhao too much for the sake of his colleagues. "

Zhang Wei was stunned, then suddenly understood, raised his head and laughed loudly.

"Li Gaoyi, do you think I'm asking you to go back and bring reinforcements to rescue me?"

"Difficult...isn't it?"

"Of course not!

Who do you think I am, Zhang Wei?
I eat and drink well here, and I have to watch the rise and fall of food stamps every day. What am I going to do when I go back?
I want you to go back, let the family come over, and bring some silver...

I need someone to serve me, and I need more money to spend.

I will write a letter, and you can carry it back for me. "

All kinds of things on the exchange are very convenient. In front of Zhang Wei, there are paper and pens. He is writing and drawing, recording something.

Li Gaoyi glanced at it and found that it was recorded on the above that it was a few days and a few minutes, 85 coins per yuan, and sold for 800 yuan.
