Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Anan asked: "The core problem of corruption is nothing more than creating a difference in the amount. Since the tax paid to the treasury is not small, they dare not pay less, so another possibility is to collect more. These people are so cunning and know how to weigh the pros and cons. After all, the majesty of the royal family cannot be offended. It is a big deal to lose your head and kill nine generations of your family. But it is much easier to oppress the defenseless people who have no power to fight back, right?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Anan added: "Take one household as an example. The full tax may be only ten stones. When they collect taxes, they directly receive fifteen or even twenty stones. The tax revenue to the court can be paid in full, and the rest is theirs."

Jinyun took a breath, looked at Jin Liu, frowned and said, "If this assumption is true, how many officials of all sizes would be involved at the same time and in a certain place? Since the founding of the dynasty, the collection of taxes in the court has been supervised by the right prime minister himself. Is he aware of this? If he knew..."

The words that followed were so horrifying that Jinyun didn't dare to continue, but they were all written all over his face.

Jin Liu was so shocked that he could not hide it. He stared at Anan for a long while before looking at Hongze and saying with a smile, "I want to marry a female Zhuge. I guess you're marrying a female accountant!"

Jinyun also asked: "Anan, how did you come up with these things?"

Anan couldn't help laughing and whispered, "Numbers never lie, but no matter what the number is, behind it is human nature, which is not difficult to guess."

When Anan left the warm room, he could see that the three guys were very serious. With such a big breakthrough, he thought that the three of them would definitely have a long talk that night. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. The snowflakes were falling heavily, and it was so cold that he shivered. The thought of lying alone made him regret for a moment. He should have said these things after the New Year.

The Yuan family is indeed an elegant merchant family. The entire bathhouse is decorated in a simple and elegant style, consistent with the style of the house, as if it is an integrated whole.

Anan lay down comfortably in the pool and asked Dongqing to bring some wine. Dongqing knelt by the pool and stretched out his hands to poke water in the pool, smiling: "Madam, this pool is so comfortable!"

"Do you want to come down and take a bath with us?" The pool is as big as a basketball court. Not to mention one holly, even twenty can fit in there.

"I want to..." Dong Qing shook her head desperately and said, "If Madam Su knew that I ran into your bath, she would scold me to death!"

At this point, she glanced outside again and whispered, "The girl didn't eat anything tonight. Wait a minute, I'll bring you some food!"

Anyway, the water in the pool is always flowing, so there is no need to add hot water. Seeing that Jing Mo was also sleepy, Anan smiled and said, "No need, you all go back to sleep, I will soak for a while and then go to sleep."

Dong Qing was about to refute, but was stopped by Jing Mo who was standing beside her. He said with a smile: "Sister Bai Shao is injured and Jiang Li is taking care of her now. We are all serving the Madam, so we should go and see her. It's just right, I'll take Dong Qing to see her!"

As he said that, he covered Dongqing's mouth and pulled him out.

After leaving the house, Dong Qing stamped her feet and said to Jing Mo, "Does our girl not have anyone to serve her?"

"Have you turned a deaf ear to Madam Su's words?" Jing Mo pulled her ear and whispered, "Remember, if the son-in-law comes back, we should try not to get close to Madam at night!"

"Ah!" Dongqing nodded quickly, as if that was the case.

Both of them blushed, quickened their pace and ran forward, as if they were escaping.
