Zhao Hanzhang: "So I exempted one carriage on the vehicle and ship tax."
Zhao Hu: "What use is one carriage? Just the carriages I use at home are three. Why don't you just exempt the vehicle and ship fees for gentry and officials?"
Zhao Hu paused here, eyes wide open: "No, you're fooling me again. You only exempted officials and the Three Elders on vehicle and ship fees. I'm not an official, nor one of the Three Elders, so my family's vehicles and ships all have to pay taxes!"
Zhao Hu's words were accompanied by flying spittle, Zhao Hanzhang could only let it dry on her face, still smiling warmly, "Seventh Ancestor, did you forget about Uncle Cheng and the cousins? They each have tax exemption for one carriage, and Fifth Uncle has it for Uncle Ming too. Oh, and Shen has done meritorious service, he can become an official when he recovers, then we'll have two carriages in the family exemption quota."
