Chapter 420: Going to be a beggar for the day
Half an hour later.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng were in the room, each holding scissors and cutting their clothes into pieces.
After cutting it, the two of them put the clothes on the ground and stepped on them, making them as dirty as possible.
“Bang bang bang!”
Just as the two of them were working hard, someone knocked on the door from outside, and then Wan Peng opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the house, he raised his eyes and saw the scene in front of him. He asked confusedly on the spot, "What are you doing?"
"Young master, come and step on it for me. Our feet are tired," Gu Chan said with a strange smile.
Wan Peng stepped forward with a stupid look on his face, and while helping them step on their clothes, he said, "What's wrong with you? Are you stimulated by something?"
"No. ! We are going to get our clothes dirty and go out to beg for the day." Gu Chan explained.
"Ah?" Wan Peng made a move, and instantly felt the urge to laugh or cry.
He really couldn't understand, who would want to be a beggar despite having a good life?
What is going on in Gu Chan’s little mind is indeed puzzling.
Gu Chan said with a smile, "I heard today that you don't have to pay taxes to be a beggar in the Jiangnan area, so I plan to go beggar that day to understand the market."
"Ouch! I I'm really impressed by you. They don't have to pay taxes, but they can't have enough to eat! You're just a caravan manager, but you don't think about how to do business, sell your goods, and make it bigger and stronger. Why don't you pay taxes and become a beggar? I really don't know what you think." Wan Peng walked to the table and sat down and said with an annoyed look.
Gu Chan asked Ma Zheng to continue stepping on the clothes, while she walked to sit down opposite Wan Peng and said, "No! You have to think about this! If I can ask beggars to do things for me in the future, then I won't have to pay taxes for them." Is this called reasonable and legal tax avoidance?"
"Hey...this...seems to make sense!" Wan Peng hissed and was convinced by Gu Chanqian.
He did not deny that Gu Chan's statement made sense.
Beggars don’t have enough to eat, and they don’t have a decent job. Their livelihood is a problem, so they don’t have to pay taxes. So if you can really ask them to do things, you don’t have to pay the poll tax on their behalf.
Gu Chan said with a strange smile, "Think about it! The poll tax here is so high. If I want to ask someone to help me in the future, according to the law, I will have to pay at least twenty-five cents per month for them. Two taels of silver! If I hire fifty people, I have to pay 1,250 taels of silver every month, but if I hire fifty beggars, won’t I be able to save this money every month?”
"Then have you ever thought about whether beggars are suitable to do things for you? They are lazy all day long, but they will help you do things well? Don't you have no money saved and still pay for them!" Wan Peng Timely reminder.
“You’d better have to try it before you know whether it’s suitable or not!” Gu Chan said.
Wan Peng smiled helplessly and said, "Okay! Then you go and try it!"
"By the way, why did you come to see me so early in the morning?" Gu Chan asked curiously.
"I originally wanted to take you to a banquet and introduce you to some respectable businessmen here, but now that you are going to be a beggar, I have no choice." Wan Peng spread his hands. explain.
"No! I'm just going to be a beggar for one day, and I didn't say I would be a beggar every day. Just make an appointment with me until tomorrow! I definitely won't be able to go today." Gu Chan changed the topic.
Wan Peng laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, then I will change it to tomorrow. You will be busy with your business today."
"Thank you, Shaodong." Gu Chan cupped his fists and thanked him.
Wan Peng waved his hand indifferently. The two of them didn't say anything more after that, and Wan Peng immediately stood up and said goodbye and left.
After he left, Gu Chan and Ma Zheng continued to toss with clothes until their clothes were dirty and torn, and they looked like clothes worn by two beggars. Then they went downstairs to the kitchen.
When they got to the kitchen, they got some black pot ashes, wiped each of them on their faces, and then quietly slipped out of the back door of the casino together.
On the other side, in Wanpeng's room.
At this time, a pretty woman with a good figure and fair skin was sitting at the table sipping fragrant tea.
She is already twenty-three this year and is not yet married. She sits there and exudes a ladylike temperament, which is eye-catching.
And she was none other than Wan Feiyan, the eldest daughter of the Wan family in Jiangnan City and Wan Peng's sister.
Wan Peng opened the door and walked in, sat opposite his sister and said, "I can't go today, let's change it to tomorrow! You can go talk to them later and we will meet again tomorrow."
" What do you mean? You sent someone to me last night to make an appointment for you, but everyone was in high spirits today, but you want to change it for tomorrow?" Wan Feiyan said angrily.
Not bad!
Since Gu Chan helped him get the jade cabbage back last night, he sent someone back to Wanjia overnight to ask his sister to help him make an appointment.
As a result, this morning, my sister made an appointment with someone, but he was going to cancel the appointment, which was really unpleasant.
Wan Peng said helplessly, "I don't want to either! That kid got so crazy early in the morning that he took his younger brother to beggar for the day. No, they are all dressed up as beggars now and walked through the back door. Sneaked out."
"Huh? Is this kid so interesting?" Wan Feiyan's eyes lit up and she said with a smile.
"Yes! How can it be boring? Last night he won me one hundred thousand taels of silver. After a while, he took his younger brother to the Yushi Mansion and beat Yanli half to death. Help me get the jadeite I got the jade cabbage back, isn't it awesome?" Wan Peng said without hesitation in his praise.
Wan Feiyan became more and more interested in Gu Chan.
Anyway, she only heard about it early this morning. Last night, the eldest daughter of the imperial censor family was beaten half to death. As for who made Yan Li do this, she had no idea at all. It wasn't until she came to the gambling house that she heard about it. I learned from my younger brother that Gu Chan did this.
So she also wanted to meet Gu Chan today and have a good chat with him, but unfortunately, Gu Chan took Ma Zheng to work as a beggar.
This really made her feel helpless.
Wan Peng chuckled and said, "Why, you feel a bit disappointed not to see him?"
"I have nothing to be disappointed about. It's just that everyone has made an appointment, and it was rescheduled for tomorrow. , I can’t handle it,” Wan Feiyan said, pretending to be angry.
"Okay, don't pretend! We are siblings. How can I not know about your little thoughts? You are already so old and still unmarried. It is not easy for you to meet such an interesting boy. It's normal for you to want to meet him." Wan Peng revealed his sister's thoughts.
Wan Feiyan's pretty face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she pretended to be angry and said, "You know what the heck, you have a bad mouth every day and ignore you. I'm leaving. Remember to take him with you tomorrow morning." Go to Wanyue Building, I'll ask everyone to wait for you in the Tianzi No. 1 room on the fifth floor." After saying that, she quickly got up and left.
Wan Peng looked at his sister's leaving back and laughed, enjoying himself.
