Wu Ye didn't understand why the stall owner changed his mind, and when he was about to explode, he was grabbed by Ji Yun. Ji Yun also looked around, reported his address in a lower voice than the stall owner, and made an appointment for an evening time.Wu Ye wasn't stupid, he remembered it a little bit, and sure enough, as soon as they left, the stall owner quickly put away the tablet.

Walking to a secluded place, Ji Yun explained to Wu Ye in a low voice, and Wu Ye finally understood.

In addition to the high occupancy tax and rent tax in Lancheng, the commercial tax is also quite heavy.Transactions in the trading area can only be settled with a temporary ID card, and as long as there is a change in the "deposit" stored in the temporary ID card, the city tax system bound to it will immediately identify it and deduct the corresponding tax fee.Lancheng's transaction tax has different amounts according to the transaction volume and transaction objects.Electronic products in this plane are actually not as expensive as Wu Ye thought. Before the apocalypse, these things are basically necessary for manpower. After the apocalypse, how can these useless things be as precious as food and weapons?

This kind of electronic product is one of the cheaper trading products in the trading area, and the tax rate is only 20%, which is nothing compared to the 35% tax rate for food weapons, and the 50% or even higher tax rate for 'luxury goods' such as salt cigarettes.Of course, for small merchants and hawkers, as long as there is an opportunity to earn even half a crystal nucleus, they must not let it go.As a result, some peddlers who made a living by selling things secretly engaged in tax evasion.Just like the stall owner just now, the customers are interested in something, and instead of talking in the trading area, they make an appointment to trade at home, and the real money checkout avoids the city tax system, and both parties can benefit.Naturally, these small actions cannot deceive the managers of Lancheng, and they have also formulated severe punishment regulations. Once they discover such behavior, all property of both parties to the transaction will be wiped out, and they will be driven out of Lancheng.

However, the transaction tax in Lancheng is too high. There are always small traders who are desperate for profit. Besides, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Who doesn't want to live a more nourishing life in the trading area?As long as it's not too much, the top will turn a blind eye.

The stall owner dared to "solicit customers" in the daytime, and the inspector didn't hang around him very much. There is no doubt that someone must be covering him.

After Ji Yun moved to the settlement of Lancheng, he has lived here for almost a year, and he has already figured out the twists and turns here.

Then Wu Ye, accompanied by Ji Yun, walked around the entire trading area in Lancheng. After Wu Ye opened his eyes, he couldn't help feeling that the prices here are too expensive, and the prices are not much higher than his cheating system. let.

After shopping, Ji Yun bought some potatoes and water spinach for dinner. Wu Ye saw many people gathered outside a small shop in the middle of the trading area, and everyone was making a lot of noise.

"What happened over there?" Wu Ye asked curiously.

Ji Yun's face changed slightly: "That is the only salt shop in Lancheng, and it is operated by the base's senior management. Something must have happened. Let's go and have a look."

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but when I saw it, Ji Yun was also taken aback. It turned out that the price of table salt has increased again, which has been fully doubled to 10 grams of gold/2 crystal cores 10 grams.

How much is 10 grams of salt?

A beer bottle cap has about 3.5 grams of salt. Foods with a per capita daily salt intake of 3 grams are called "salt-free foods", and the per capita daily salt requirement is about 4-6 grams.According to the cooking habits of the Chinese people, even people with a mild taste in the south can eat about 8 grams of salt a day, while people in the north with a heavy taste need almost twice as much.Now let’s not talk about the taste, just according to the minimum demand, a family of three, the minimum salt requirement for a month is no less than 360 grams, converted to 1 first-grade crystal nuclei, converted to gold is a full 72 grams, properly A good piece of gold brick, isn't this the rhythm of death?

However, the scary thing about monopoly is that the seller has the final say on the price. The monopoly in the last days is often linked to power and strength. After a while, the inspectors who came to the trading area came over and directly took the first few who caused the most trouble. Killed with one shot, and stood there with a loaded gun, and everyone stopped.

Most people were lucky enough to expect the price to drop, and left first in despondency; a small number of people had already bottomed out their salt tanks, and they could not afford to buy them;

Wu Ye belongs to the absolute heterogeneity.

His first reaction was that Nima was worth so much more than gold; his second reaction was, Fuck!fiscal!up!

The price of the system is very unreasonable. Among the things that can fill the stomach, low-level nutritional supplements are the cheapest. They need 5 points and 1 first-level crystal nucleus.Other vegetables, fruits, grains and meat are more or less cheaper than in the trading area, but the points required are all more expensive than the nutritional supplements, which caused Wu Ye to take nutritional supplements before.

But there are exceptions to everything, Wu Ye finally knew one thing, the system 'sells' far cheaper than the trading area - salt.

Do you know how cheap it is? 10 points, 2 crystal nuclei 1000 grams.According to the current market price, for every 1000 salt sold, he can earn 198 first-level crystal nuclei, which is the same as if he picked it up for nothing.After selling it five or six times, he will be able to strengthen his genes to 1%, and after selling it a few more times, he will be able to accumulate enough crystal cores to go home!

A big stuffed pie made Wu Ye dizzy, and he didn't even pay much attention to the commotion just now.

"Boss, I guess the price of salt will go up in two days. Help me carry the vegetables, and I'll go buy some." Ji Yun's crystal cores were spent yesterday, and Qin Wuhua gave all the crystal cores he bought today. Yes, there are dozens of vegetables left after buying vegetables, and I will buy some and stock up before the price of salt rises again.

Ji Yun called Wu Ye several times before Wu Ye came back to his senses. He looked at the salt shop in front of him with a complicated expression, and said, "No need to buy, let's go back first."

"But..." The excuse for the salt price increase this time was that the heavy rain blocked traffic and the supply in the capital was in short supply. Based on Ji Yun's understanding of the decision makers in Lancheng, no matter whether the excuse is true or not, they will never let go of this opportunity to raise money .

"No but, you'll know when we get back."

Ji Yun suddenly thought that before Wu Ye exchanged more than 200 grams of salt for canned pork, did the boss still have salt in his hand?

Back in the shack area, Wu Ye slipped back home.After paying the tax yesterday, he still had 20 grade 1 crystal nuclei left on his body, with a total of 118 points. He exchanged 10 kilograms of salt in one go. Looking at the 20 bags of salt neatly placed on the bed, he wished he could put some salt on the bed. A few roll.

He poked his head out and shouted to the next door: "Ji Yun, come here, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, here we come!" Ji Yun handed the dishes to Professor Li, and walked up to Wu Ye: "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Come in." Wu Ye welcomed Ji Yun into the room, pointed to the things on the bed and said, "Do you have a channel to help me sell these things?" Occasionally someone sells them, and the price is slightly lower than that of direct sales stores, and they are often sold out as soon as they appear, which will not have any impact on direct sales stores.Therefore, table salt is only a monopoly product, not a prohibited product.

Ji Yun guessed that Wu Ye might have salt in his hand, but he never dreamed that there was so much. He held the salt bag and asked in a daze, "Are these all salt?"

"That's right, the quality is guaranteed."

"Boss, pinch me, am I dreaming?" Ji Yun couldn't believe it.

"Promising." Wu Ye glared at him, and said, "You haven't said whether you have a channel to help me sell things." Wu Ye said that selling things is of course not in the trading area. Pork sells for the price of cabbage, what does he earn?

But Ji Yun shook his head: "Boss, I know a few people like Ou Chen, but each of those guys is darker than the other, and the other is not good. We are likely to be blacked out." Ou Chen is today's Tablet computer stall owners, they are all covered by patrols. Which one of those patrols and the peddlers they cover is not a money-seeking thing?If they knew that they had so much salt in their hands, and the two parties colluded, they could easily swallow things for them.As for tax evasion like those peddlers, it is even more impossible. Are those inspectors really just for display?

"Then what should we do?" Wu Ye's fiery mood was extinguished by half.

"How about we wait for Brother Qin to come back and discuss it?"

"What are you waiting for me to discuss?" Qin Wuhua suddenly pushed the door open and came in, his face and body were covered with dust and dried zombie pus, and his brows were full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

"You're back." Before Wu Ye greeted, Ji Yun had lifted a bench for Qin Wuhua with lightning speed, and brought a glass of cold water from the next door to him respectfully.

Qin Wuhua was indeed thirsty, drank the boiled water in two gulps, looked at Wu Ye and asked silently.

Wu Ye roughly talked about the salt price increase, and then put the ten packets of salt on the bed in front of Qin Wuhua: "How do you think we sell these things?"

"Isn't it enough to sell it outside of Lancheng?" Qin Wuhua went to the Corpse Hunter Union to register as a corpse hunter in order to get familiar with the situation in Lancheng and the surrounding area as soon as possible, and teamed up with others to do a small task outside.The team members were put together together, and when he was doing the mission, he saw some team members exchanging goods in private, presumably they were trying to avoid the tax in the trading area.

Seeing that Wu Ye was still confused, Qin Wuhua said: "When I go out on a mission tomorrow, I will exchange the salt with other corpse hunters."

Among corpse hunters, in addition to gold and crystal nuclei being hard currencies, food and salt are also hard currencies. Some people even prefer the latter.

Wu Ye was still a little against killing zombies, but to go home, besides the crystal core, he had to earn points. If he wanted points, he had to go out to kill zombies, even if he didn't want to go.

"I'll be with you tomorrow." Wu Ye said.

Qin Wuhua nodded silently for a moment: "Okay." It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. In the same way, the best protection and reward is not to put Wu Hua in a safe area, but to train him to be a real strong man , Even in the face of desperation, there is still a fight.After all, in this precarious last days, who can promise to protect whom for how long?

"Boss, Brother Qin, I'm with you."

Qin Wuhua hummed softly, threw a pack of crystal cores to Ji Yun and said: "Go to three silencers, buy as many bullets as you can, and rent a pickup truck to fill up the gas, tomorrow will be a big deal. "

Ji Yun glanced at the crystal nuclei in the cloth bag, his eyes were full of red light, he couldn't help taking a breath, and then he patted his chest to reassure: "Okay, I'll go right away! I know an acquaintance, and I can get [-]% off from him." goods."

After Ji Yun left, Qin Wuhua went to the simple bathroom behind the curtain to take a shower, changed into clean pants, and came out with his upper body naked.

The pectoral muscles, the abdominal muscles, the mermaid lines, and even the scars left on his body are so sexy, Wu Ye's mood at the moment can no longer be simply described with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"...Put your clothes on, it's indecent."

His sour tone made the corner of Qin Wuhua's mouth smile, and he casually took a black vest and put it on his body. The elastic and tight vest meticulously outlined his good figure. Damn, it was even better than when he was naked. Also sexy.

The second young master turned his head awkwardly, played with the salt bag in his hand, and asked, "Aren't you curious about where I got these salts from?" The backpack he collected, and what was in the backpack, he knew better than anyone else.

"Curious." Qin Wuhua nodded truthfully, "However, everyone has their own secrets and cards, you don't need to tell me, and don't tell anyone. In this last world, don't trust anyone, including me."
