Chapter 400 Private Visit

As the end of the year approaches, although it is only the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, people who are good at calculating have already started purchasing New Year's goods at this time. In the next few days, the prices of many New Year's goods will definitely rise. Xiaoshi Street is the most prosperous street in the outer city, with people coming and going on the street, and a prosperous scene.

The hawkers one after another add a bit of lively scene to the streets. The hawkers shouting in the capital are absolutely unique. Some are thin and high, some are low and deep, and some are the kind that is rising and falling, "Feed wontons, boiled pot!" "Hard noodles, cakes." "Feed to braised and fried tofu." "Culu'er, Bingta'er!"

Kangxi looked around with a smile on his face. Since he wanted to understand the situation of the store being exploited and extorted, he could not go to the big store. Although he was in the ninth level, he was still very clear about the general situation in the capital. How could those who could open a big store in the capital have no background or backing? Those rogues probably dared not exploit and extort those big stores. After wandering around for a while, Kangxi entered a cloth shop with a small presence.

As soon as he entered the door, the guy came up with a warm face. When he saw the dress of Kangxi and his men, he said intimately: "The distinguished guest is here, please come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up."

Kangxi glanced reservedly and saw that there were six or seven guests in it who were choosing fabrics and looking at the clothes, just ordinary people thought that it was almost the Chinese New Year, so he came to pull some cloth for the children to sew new clothes. With the courtesy of his friends, he casually sat down at the main seat of a guest table.

After the guy arranged to ask someone to serve tea, he bowed and said, "I saw your attitude, you are a wealthy family. What do you want to watch?"

Kangxi turned his head and glanced at Yid, saying, "Go and see, what good things are there?" Then he said to the clerk, "Do you have any leisure time in the shopkeeper?"

"Look at what I said."

Zhao Can, the shopkeeper wearing a melon-shaped hat, came quickly. After seeing the gift, he tentatively said, "Dare you ask what the distinguished guest is called?"

"Just call me Master Jin." Kangxi said warmly: "Your store business is still booming."

"Master Jin laughed." Zhao Can said with a smile: "As the end of the year approaches, anyone who has some extra money on hand will not sew new clothes, this is a piece of business."

"What I mean is that the year is approaching, and wearing new clothes makes people look happy. I have already asked someone to see the goods." Kangxi said, and the topic changed, "The business in the capital looks pretty good, and I plan to shop in the warehouse. I wonder if the business in the capital is easy to do?"

Zhao Can listened to Kangxi's authentic Beijing accent and couldn't help but wonder: "Is Master Jin from the capital?"

"Oh, I'm outside the pass." Kangxi said casually; "I stayed in the capital for a while when I was a teenager."

Seeing that Mr. Jin is graceful, Zhao Can couldn't guess his origin. However, he guessed that he should be a big customer, so he would not let it go easily. Nowadays, what he does business is popularity. At this moment, he said: "The capital is the first of the four gatherings in the world, and all goods from south to north gather here."

When Kangxi heard this, he met Kan Ye. If he really wanted to keep saying this, he would probably have bought the cloth. Before he finished speaking, he coughed lightly, interrupted him, and said, "I just had a meal in a restaurant. I heard that the shops in Beijing have a lot of miscellaneous expenses. I wonder if it is true?"

When Zhao Can heard about miscellaneous fees, his face suddenly looked a little ugly. The small market streets were prosperous. Although the business was good, there were also many miscellaneous fees, especially the number of taxes and taxes. These two taxes were not collected by the government, but by the ruffians on the street. After looking at Kangxi, he smiled and said, "The world is as dark as crows, and it is not the same everywhere."

Kangxi pondered for a while before saying, "I heard that the capital had implemented some miscellaneous tax reform. Could it be that it wasn't these miscellaneous taxes being removed?"

"Mr. Jin doesn't know anything." Zhao Can glanced at Yid, who was looking at the fabric, and said with a wry smile: "The reform of miscellaneous taxes was launched by the government. Our small shops are somewhat affordable, but other miscellaneous taxes have risen, and there is no."

As soon as the curtain was finished, four young men walked in. Then, two young men came in, but the guards watching outside the door were worried and followed the two in.

When Zhao Can saw the four people coming in, he couldn't help but mutter secretly that the ground in the capital was evil, saying that Cao Cao was here, and he hurriedly said to Kangxi, "Jin Master sits a little bit." Then he stood up and bowed to the four people, and smiled and said, "Jin San Master is really a believer."

"Shopkeeper Zhao's business is booming." The leader named Xing San also bowed and said, "Are you ready for the money?"

"It's ready." Zhao Can smiled and said, "San Master Xing, please sit here, I'll get it with my friend right away."

When Kangxi heard the money, he couldn't help but look at the four people up and down, wondering, is this the one who charges miscellaneous fees? They are all the same as business, have they all formed rules?

"You are so kind, Shopkeeper Zhao." Xing San raised his chin slightly and said, "It's the end of the year, and we're busy, so we won't delay."

At this time, the guy had already rushed up and handed over two taels of silver notes. Xing San looked at it, bounced slightly, bowed and smiled, "I wish Manager Zhao a prosperous year next year."

"Thank you for the good words of the Third Master, you can leave." Zhao Can smiled and returned the gift, bowed to see the four of them out.

Seeing this, Kangxi whispered: "Send someone to follow and don't disturb them."

After Zhao Can sat back, Kangxi asked hesitantly: "Do these people charge miscellaneous fees? They look like businessmen."

"They are not businessmen." Zhao Can said, then stopped talking.

"Is there no kingly law under the feet of the emperor?" Kangxi squirted again.

Zhao Can sighed lightly and said, "They are the king's law." As he said, he turned around and said, "I wonder what the purpose of Mr. Jin's purchase of cloth is for?"

"Of course, it's just making clothes." Kangxi was no longer interested, stood up and said, "I reward him with two taels of silver."

When they left the door, Kangxi looked a little cold. Guan Bao and Laxi knew that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to make a sound. There were too many people on the street, and they did not dare to be careless and distracted. They strangled him in the middle a few steps, carefully paying attention to the situation around them.

Not far away, Kangxi entered a porcelain shop again. The situation was similar. After asking the two shops, they were all the same. He was not in the mood to visit again. When he went out, he ordered someone to inform Yinzhen to come to the yamen of the infantry commander.

Then, he went straight to the infantry commander's office, and walked out less than an arrow. The street in front suddenly started to stir up, and then the crowd began to flee in all directions.

When Guan Bao saw this, he immediately rushed Kangxi into a shop with a group of guards. Kangxi was in a bad mood and when he entered the shop, his face became even colder. He pushed the guard in front of him away and walked to the door to watch.
