Seeing the three people come back, each of them also brought a lot of contracts, Chairman Tian showed a relieved smile on his face, and said to Li Yu, who was still looking at the terrain over there:
"Master Li, in fact, it's okay to cultivate more. After all, people who do business also have a conscience. If they can do more good things for the people, they can do more."
"Really?" Li Yu didn't expect President Tian to speak so well. He was wondering if he would add more money to come in. For people like himself, no matter how much money he has, it is better to gain a good reputation. No money can take care of others. Yes, it really doesn't work. There is an older brother who has passed on to others, no matter how much he stretches out his hand.
Seeing President Tian smiled and nodded, Li Yu said happily: "Okay, I like conscientious businessmen. Making money comes from making money. But you can't just think about money for making money. You have to have people in your heart, just like Xiaobao and Cuckoos, oh, let alone them, they are officials, like Shuiyunjian, they are doing very well."
President Tian can make more money again, so naturally he won’t refute Li Yu’s words. Isn’t Shuiyunjian still in the family of King Zhang? What is the difference? When he followed Li Yu forward, he winked at the people next to him. That means let them go out to see again, and whispered to the person closest to them.
"There are no merchants in this county. You can go to other counties to take a look. They will collect some taxes, such as 30%, or even 20%. The more prosperous the local area, the more they earn, the more we have. money."
"President, I'll make arrangements now." The person who got the order agreed, and found an excuse to leave, and hired a car to rush to other counties as quickly as possible.
Li Yu hadn't noticed their little actions, and Xiao Chong also closed one eye next to him. He now admires Zhang Xiaobao even more. The plan mentioned this a long time ago, and it can be said to be an enemy.
While they were looking at the topography here, the Yamen in Changning County posted a notice, and those who knew or didn't know all came close to look at it. Those who knew it needed to be told to others.
There was a large group of people in the nearest place dedicated to posting notices. At the front stood a man dressed as a scholar. In order to show respect, the people around gave up their position, no one squeezed him, and waited. He read the words on the notice.
"This county has newly issued regulations. Anyone who needs to pay taxes or merchants who pay late under any excuse or refuse to pay will be compulsorily expropriated by government officials, and will be punished by three to five times depending on their attitude. , No more, just this one."
It’s also a kind of honor for people dressed as scholars to recite with their hands behind their backs. It can be respected by so many illiterate people. Of course, if you are in Sanshui County, no one needs him to recite. Those who have studied in the school for two years can pick them up.
The people still wondered why it was a big deal. They were disappointed when they saw that the businessmen were to pay taxes on their own initiative and in a timely manner, and they dispersed again in a sigh.
"Chairman Tian, how can the river to be drawn go from here? There are several small rivers that can be connected to the front of this place. It will be convenient to use water at the time. ."
Li Yu led the crowd to another place, looked around, took out the map in his hand, and after careful comparison, said to President Tian of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce.
Chairman Tian still had a reserved smile. "Master Li is fine. The map in Master Li's hand seems to be more detailed than the one used for the game. I wonder if you can let me see it?"
When President Tian agreed, he glanced at the map in Li Yu's hand, found the problem, and wanted a copy.
Li Yu hurriedly put the map together, and refused very categorically, "No, even if the officer shows it to you, don't you really dare to see it? This is a military map, of course it is detailed. Only when you are in the army, you have a map."
Li Yu gave himself an excuse. Normally speaking, he didn’t. There are only two places where Datang can have a serious military map with contour lines. One is the palace in the capital, and the other is the Zhangwang family. , Zhang Xiaobao can give him a copy of Changning’s.
Even so, there are no notes on this map, such as whether it is difficult for a horseshoe to walk in a certain place, such as what kind of materials can be used when climbing a mountain, these are not at all.
When President Tian heard that it was a military map, he really wanted a copy, but he didn't dare. What does a businessman's idea of making a military map mean
Nodding regretfully, Chairman Tian stopped mentioning the map and continued to follow Li Yu.
Two days later, it was discussed where to build the road and where to open the river. The people from the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce immediately transferred the money and hired the local people to get busy.
The people also knew this time that there was another chamber of commerce called Qianshi, who followed the county magistrate to do good for the county. The chamber of commerce was good, but even better was the county magistrate. Without the county magistrate, there would be no Qianshi chamber of commerce.
In order to make the people more positive, a notice was posted in front of the yamen. The above stated that the idea of jointly building a road with the Chamber of Commerce came from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan of Zhangjia, Sanshui County, so that everyone does not have to worry.
Many people really don’t know what Zhang’s family in Sanshui County is, but some businessmen who have traveled south and north know that they brag with others during the meal. This time the people all know about it. It’s a very powerful family. , The baby born is equally powerful, and never misses things wherever he goes.
It is good to the people, and also very good at making money, and is a clean and honest official. There is money in the family. Yes, the rich and clean officials have a magical vocabulary group together.
Knowing this situation, the enthusiasm of the people came up, and they signed up to build roads.
Li Yu also used the money that the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce and his elder brother had done to pay the people. He was also responsible for several meals a day, and also changed shifts during the day and night.
At this time of prosperity, rumors emerged in the county.
Whether it’s a tea shop or a pub, many people are saying that Zhang Xiaobao, the great Zhang family, has suffered a loss this time. The plan for Li Yu went wrong, allowing the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce to use it to communicate with the locals. Of businessmen cooperated to avoid the taxes to be paid.
Such rumors made the people lose their confidence in Zhang Xiaobao, and at the same time they became disgusted with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, because Li Yuan had learned the way of Baoxin County two days ago, and started to introduce to the people in the county in detail how much money is in the yamen every day. How it came from, and where it would be spent.
Among them, it emphasized the help of taxation to the yamen and also the help to the people in the county.
After the transparent and open financial report is made known to the people, the people hope that the yamen can have more money, because there are subsidies for poor households on a piece of expenditure, and all houses in the entire county will be renovated within five years.
Everyone is waiting for the yamen’s money to come out and help themselves to repair the house, take it for the people and use it for the people. Now there is a lot of money, but some of it is not directly controlled by the county and needs to be handed in. Here you can It's not Li Yu's fief, he hasn't fiefed yet.
All part of the money can be left in the county, and more will be sent to the capital, as well as renters.
Even if the common people are stupid, they can’t stand the wise man’s explanation. It is said that if the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce do this, they can make money, and the yamen’s taxation will end. The more merchants they contact, the more the county will be. poverty.
The Thousand World Chamber of Commerce, which had just spent money on road and river repair, became a profiteer in the hearts of the people, not a good thing.
At the same time, he was also disappointed with Zhang Xiaobao. Why did such a powerful person lose to others
Chairman Tian did not expect things to be like this. At the beginning, Li Yu did not disclose the county’s finances at all. How did the people know how much money was in the yamen and what they wanted to spend? If it has not been disclosed, then the Chamber of Commerce has done too much. The people are also not clear.
It's better now, and the good reputation that I have paid a lot of price is gone.
In desperation, Chairman Tian found Li Yu and said to him, "Master Li, can you stop the daily announcement. It is not good for the people to know too much. The people can do it, but it can’t be known. ."
"Stop? Why do you want to stop? It's not a secret thing in private. The official believes that he has done an honest and clean job. The things in the yamen are everything to say to people. Also, if you said that wrong, it's called If the people are allowed, let it be, not, let it be known, and don't let the people understand what the officials are going to do, how can the people support it wholeheartedly?"
Li Yuan had no room for discussion on this matter, and introduced the situation in Xiabaoxin County with Chairman Tian. As long as the officials there want to do what they want to do, once the people understand it, there is no need to worry about the shortage of manpower. People will move with it, and it's exciting to think about what kind of scenes.
Chairman Tian felt that Li Yu was deliberate. He thought that Li Yu had known about the cooperation between his Thousand World Chamber of Commerce and other businessmen, but found that the contents of the contract could not be changed, and could only endure silently, but he was not reconciled, so he thought With such a method, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce lost its good reputation and retaliated.
Thinking of this, Chairman Tian said again: "Master Li, if the reputation of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce is bad, the people will not be willing to come, so how can we continue our business?"
"Don't worry, as soon as the workshop is built, the officer will come right away. Oh, it's been eight days since we signed the contract, right?"
Li Yu promised, suddenly he said something that made Chairman Tian inexplicable.
"Yes, it's eight days, and in a few days, the workshop will start construction, Master Li, does the number of days have something to do with the workshop?" Chairman Tian asked questioningly.
"It has nothing to do with taxes, but it has to do with taxes. According to the regulations of this county, merchants can default on taxes for up to ten days. If they are not paid after ten days, the penalty will be severe. No merchants have paid taxes for the past few days. The officer is anxious for them."
Li Yu looked at Chairman Tian with a meaningful look and explained.
Chairman Tian suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong, and Li Yuan's performance was too indifferent.
