After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

'Wait a minute!'

Xi Yu stopped him from continuing with a serious look. "A 10% tax means I have to pay taels of silver a year, which means I have to earn at least taels of silver a year, right?"

He tapped the snake's head lightly, then mercilessly pushed it down with his hand, "Bah, why didn't you say you'd handed over all your income for the year!"

Qi Xi lay on her back, forced to expose her belly which was more tender and lighter in color.

[That won't work. We can't destroy the market and silver value order in each time and space.]

He turned over with great effort, and used the tip of his snake tail to cover his deep vertical pupils, his tone revealing a guilt that was difficult to conceal.

[If the Monster Management Bureau had not recently offended a wealthy monster, they would not be willing to provide funds and would not issue such a task to the little monster on the time and space line.]

"It seems that the Monster Management Bureau has offended the Great Monster, and they asked us to help clean up the mess."

After sitting for a long time, Xiyu felt sore in his back and waist, so he threw away the account book in his hand and found a comfortable position to lean back.

'You are clearly trying to embarrass me.'

She closed her eyes and did the math with Qi Xi.

"My dowry shops are doing pretty well, but at most I can only make a few tens of thousands of taels a year. It's really too difficult to increase your income tenfold."

"The Monster Management Bureau is so oppressive to the little monsters, but the little monsters who are carrying out missions in other time and space don't turn hostile?"

Qi Xi was silent for a moment, then spoke cautiously: [They turned over. Some of them are on strike.]

"That's right, you are a snake that can only lift the door curtain with your mouth. I'm afraid I will have to use up my brain cells and run my legs when I carry out the mission."

"Do you know how hard it is to earn 500,000 taels? The war has just ended and disasters have hit various places. Excluding the money spent on military expenses and disaster relief, there is less than 5 million taels left in the treasury."

"The Emperor took into consideration the difficult life of the people and reduced taxes in the disaster-stricken areas. It only amounted to several million taels."

[Compared to this, 500,000 taels of silver is not a lot]

Xi Yu raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "That's the tax of the entire Qing Dynasty, and I'm just one person. Can you use your brain, which is not as big as a walnut kernel, to calculate and see the proportion!"

She was so angry that she slapped the couch, and only then did she realize that the palm of her hand was burning with pain.

When Dong Shuang heard the sound, she thought there was something wrong with the account book she had recorded, so she walked in nervously, her smiling eyes wide open with panic.

"Fujin, what's wrong with the account book?"

Xiyu then noticed that she was showing some emotion towards the little snake spirit, and quickly grabbed the snake head and stuffed it aside, "It's okay, I just touched it accidentally."

After Dong Shuang left, Xi Yu opened her palms, and the light green snake's body collapsed in her palms without saying a word.

It looked like he was crushed to death by her, but in fact, he ran away to do the math.

But his brain was really not big, and he couldn't figure it out after calculating for a long time.

[Oh, don't be angry. I've already said this is a pension mission. It's not only to make money for the bureau, but it's also a guarantee for you.]

Qi Xi came back to his senses and climbed up like a lackey, using the hem of his clothes. [Considering how hard it is for everyone to make money, the Monster Management Bureau won't let you make money for free. I've said before that this is a retirement mission.]

[The money you earn here will help the Monster Management Bureau get through the difficult times. After you complete your mission and return to the modern world, you will receive a subsidy every month. Even if you do nothing, it will support you to live a good life in the modern world.]

[You are a monster, and a spirit made of ginseng. You can live for a very, very long time. Although you won’t become rich, as long as you live, you can get it all. Sooner or later, you can get it all back. You won’t suffer any loss at all!]

As he spoke, Qi Xi deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that the Monster Management Bureau would hear him.

Xi Yu sneered, "Ah, I see, it's like paying for expensive insurance, and getting a portion back every month."

[Is that what you mean? Just take it. The more you earn, the easier your life will be when you return to the modern world.]

Xiyu thought about it and it made sense. Her status here was relatively high, and she could earn a lot of money with the help of her identity, but after returning to the modern era, she would just be a little demon.

If you want to live in the human world, you can't use witchcraft and you have to blend in with it.

I heard that the job market is saturated with college students now and it’s hard to make money.

The salary is pitifully low.

She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

Not for anything else, all for retirement!

【Great! The task was successfully released! 】

After saying this, Qi Xi disappeared without a trace.

Xiyu always felt like he was on a pirate ship.

I'm pregnant now and will give birth in a few months. I definitely can't worry about things in the shop during the late pregnancy and confinement period.

She had to think about her future development direction in advance and use her rest time to create something new so as not to waste time.

She looked at the account books in the mansion and quietly took out the dowry list from her dressing box.

A thick book.

There are more than a dozen shops, including grain stores, restaurants, antique shops, jewelry shops, clothing shops, embroidery shops...

Basically comprehensive.

If you ask me which money is the easiest to make, it is naturally women's money.

Especially the daughters and young ladies of the head of each family, if any family has newly released beautiful clothes or luxurious jewelry, they will definitely rush to buy them.

If it is added with words like unique, one-of-a-kind, or can make people more beautiful, it will be even more amazing.

Most of men's money is spent on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, among which whoring and gambling account for the largest share.

If one really wants to spend money there, the little money the woman spent is nothing compared to it.

With a rough idea in her mind, Xiyu closed her eyes tiredly. Suddenly, a slightly cool hand fell on her forehead and gently kneaded her temples.

The familiar smell of cold pine lingered at her nose. She sat up according to her instinct, buried her face in the man's chest, and took a deep breath.

Yinzhen's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, his eyes and eyebrows smiling, "You think I'm a cat?"

The big hand held the slightly rounded chin and gently stroked it, like petting a kitten, "Or do you think I'm catnip?"

Xiyu raised her head and smiled sweetly, her light blue eyes were filled with sparkling water, "You are my life-saving medicine."

Yinzhen lowered his eyes to look at her, and suddenly met her fiery gaze, and felt his heart burning.

"cough~"

He quickly looked away, looking at the account books and dowry shop on the side, and changed the subject by saying, "Why did you think of looking through these things? Don't you have enough money?"

Xi Yu couldn't let go and touched his thin waist, her voice soft and sticky, "Not really, it's just that the expenses in this mansion are too high, and I will have to raise a lot of money-eating beasts in the future."
