The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

"Yes, yes, that's right." Ye Xiuying was so nervous just now that she didn't know how to explain it.

Ye Xiuying came to her senses at this moment, and hurried to find the purchase receipts to check them one by one. Only then did the officials give up.

Finally, after checking for a long time without finding any problems, the leading officer said solemnly: "There is no big problem for the time being, but you must remember to keep accounts truthfully and report accounts truthfully in the future. You must not conceal or falsify information, and pay taxes on time, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

Wen Qingcheng and the others stood there and nodded repeatedly in agreement. After sending the people from the Commercial Tax Inspectorate away, Wen Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Xiuying felt her legs go weak and she fell into a chair.

"These people have finally left. The people from the Commercial Tax Supervision Bureau will come to check the accounts." Ye Xiuying thought that accounting was an internal matter of Wen Ji. Fortunately, she had just learned how to do accounting, and she followed the regulations and did it very carefully in every detail.

"Mom, we run our business legally, keep our accounts honestly, and pay taxes on time. They can't do anything to us."

Ye Xiuying heaved a sigh of relief. "The people from the Commercial Taxation Bureau are so arrogant that I am afraid of saying something wrong."

Wen Zhuo said: "I don't know much about business taxes, but my father knows a little bit. When he was the head of the village, he supervised and assisted the merchants in paying taxes."

"Is Third Uncle at home?"

"I went to the academy early in the morning. I have some business to attend to. I think I will be home in the afternoon."

"Uncle, you and aunt should not come back after work. I will ask Third Uncle to bring Tingyu to my house for dinner. We can discuss this matter properly."

"Come to my house for dinner. There are so many of us." Wen Zhuo felt a little embarrassed. He had wanted to invite Wen Qingcheng's family to dinner for a long time.

Wen Qingcheng's mind was not on eating. "Let's eat at my house, mother. You can go to the village restaurant and order a table later."

"Okay." Ye Xiuying agreed and said to Wen Zhuo, "Her uncle, you guys can eat here, and we can discuss how to deal with these things as a family."

At dusk, all the workers of Wen Ji had gone home, and only Master Luo, who was making glue, was still making glue in the backyard. He and Wen Zhuo were on duty today and would not go back until the next morning.

The restaurants in the village sent wine and food one after another. Wen Qingcheng set up a large round table in the main room on the first floor of the front yard and served a separate portion for Master Luo in the backyard.

"Qingcheng, I'll go take it to Master Luo. It'll help him get a meal. " Wen Zhuo said as he took the food prepared by Wen Qingcheng and went to the backyard.

"Uncle, come over earlier." Wen Qingcheng said, then looked down and found Zicheng and Tingyu standing by the table. She was drooling with anticipation on her face.

"Sister, we're just watching, not stealing." Zicheng opened his pair of dark eyes and grinned.

Tingyu swallowed and said, "Yes, we are not hungry." After saying that, his stomach started to growl.

Tingyu was well-educated and never moved around at other people's houses. Zicheng also knew the rules since he went to school. He would not eat before the adults were all present. So the two of them kept staring at the table and never touched it.

"You two little greedy cats." Wen Qingcheng smiled and served a bowl of fried meat to Zicheng. "You two can eat some to satisfy your cravings. When Third Uncle comes, we'll start eating."

Zicheng took the bowl with both hands, looked at Tingyu, and they both happily ran to Zicheng's room to eat.

Third uncle didn't come over until it was dark. "Haha, I'm late." Third uncle laughed heartily as he walked in.

"It's not too late. You've arrived just in time. Uncle San, please take a seat." Ye Xiuying asked Uncle San to sit down. Several younger generations had just taken their seats.

"Qingcheng, pour some wine for your third uncle." Ye Xiuying said.

Wen Qingcheng picked up the wine pot at hand and filled Third Uncle's cup with wine. "Third Uncle, try it. This is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine I bought in the city."

"Okay, okay, I heard that someone came to Wen's to cause trouble today?" Third Uncle picked up the wine glass, sniffed it, and went straight to the point.

"Ah, there were some minor troubles, but they've all been resolved. Let's eat first and then talk about this after dinner."

Wen Qingcheng saw that the two younger ones were extremely hungry. The older boys ate a lot and got hungry quickly. Wen Zhuo and Song Jiao had also worked for a whole day.

After the family had eaten and drunk their fill, Wen Qingcheng and Wen Zhuo talked about what had happened that day.

When the Third Uncle heard this, his face was solemn. He smiled only after hearing the end and sending them away. "Thanks to you for following the formal procedures from the beginning. Xiuying, you must be careful when doing your accounting in the future. We can't falsify accounts just to pay less taxes."

The Third Uncle drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "Don't take this lightly. In the Great Qi Dynasty, if you cheat in this regard or evade taxes, the punishment is very severe."

When Ye Xiuying heard that there would be punishment, she turned pale with fear, "Uncle San, what will happen?"

"If you open a drug factory, remain anonymous and don't report it, don't open a tax account, avoid paying or don't pay when due, all your property will be confiscated!"

Everyone present exclaimed in unison. Wen Qingcheng and Ye Xiuying looked at each other and said, "Uncle San, confiscate all of them? Is it so heavy?"

"This is not the worst punishment. Some people found by the government have to serve in the border for a year if the case is serious. One year is not too long or too short, but the journey to the border is long. Some people die on the way before they even reach the border. If two or three out of ten people come back, they are lucky."

"Opening a pharmacy is so risky." Ye Xiuying felt a little scared.

Uncle San smiled and said, "As long as we operate legally, there will be no risk. We are all in the same boat now. If you commit a crime, all of us relatives, including those in the old house, will be punished."

Wen Qingcheng was shocked: "Do we have to be punished together?"

Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "Yes, the family is closely connected. In some remote areas, the government cannot always inspect them, so the purpose is to allow the family members to supervise each other."

Ye Xiuying pursued a stable life, and when she heard that the situation would be so serious, she wanted to back out. However, seeing that her daughter and her third uncle's family were still chatting and laughing, not panicking at all, was she really narrow-minded?

"Uncle, how much tax do we have to pay in a year?" Ye Xiuying asked. She didn't understand why anyone would risk forging the tax if the imperial court imposed such a heavy penalty.

"As far as I know, in the pharmaceutical industry, we charge one out of every four thousand coins."

Wen Qingcheng frowned and thought about it quickly. This was indeed a blind spot in Wen Qingcheng's knowledge. Even the original owner Wen Qingcheng had no memory of this. "Uncle, how much is this?"
