The Tubo that Zhang Xiaobao is thinking about has now let people kill the locusts, and he no longer worships as he did when he first started.
Poultry eat locusts, so any nobleman or royal family who raised poultry releases the poultry, even if it offends any gods and admits it, it is better than starving to death.
Not only did they release poultry, the slaves also made pockets, with a stick attached to the back to catch locusts during the day, and lit a fire at night to lure the locusts to fly in and burn themselves.
The resolution was big enough, but unfortunately it was too late. Once the locusts formed a scale, it would not be so easy to deal with them. The food they planted was eaten, the grass and trees could be eaten, and they would not be left wherever they went. A hint of greenery.
Some locusts have even flown over to Jinchuan, and the people arranged by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are also busy. Fortunately, the number is not large. The more than 7,000 slaves brought by Han Xuanfeng did not enter Datang directly, but stayed. In this area, one is to let them gradually adapt.
The other is to thoroughly train them to become loyal to the family of King Zhang. There are quite a few young and strong slaves. Then they can farm land or form an army for training. In Datang. , If the Zhang Wang family randomly pulled up an army of three or four thousand people, it would definitely not work.
Now they have also joined the ranks of killing locusts. Fortunately, there is water and glaciers here. Many locusts that want to fly directly have been frozen to death.
Except for this part of their slaves, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will form an army in the future, as will the people who have been farming here.
If the game cannot go on at that time, then the power of this part will be difficult to underestimate. In addition to this side, there are also Fengzhou, where there are not many people, but the folk customs are different. Forming an army at any time will not work in Sanshui County and Shuzhou. It is too obvious that it cannot be done there.
Outside of these two places, that is Yizhou, here are all cottages, and the relationship with local officials is not good, so I get close to Zhang Zhong.
The same is true in Luzhou. Now the army in Luzhou is all locals. If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan need them, they can pull them out to let people see what a wolf soldier is.
The vigorous battle to eradicate locusts started, and the various nobles in Tubo looked at the locusts that could not be killed, and they could not think of a better way except for worry.
They know that this year is over again. Last year, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were given a calamity. They didn't know what to do this year.
They still don't know that Zhang Xiaobao did this thing, and they thought it was a real natural disaster.
This time there was no need for Zhang Xiaobao to send someone over. Tubo was already thinking about borrowing grain from Datang. Instead, he could send troops directly when he encountered something like this before, but he didn't dare to say anything this year.
It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s okay if everyone in Tubo can still be as good as they were in the war last year. The main reason is that since the autumn harvest last year, they have not eaten enough. Many slaves who can serve as fighters can even eat. A little bit, as long as you don't starve to death.
How many troops can be mobilized under such circumstances? If there were tens of thousands of people, it would not be enough for Wang Juan to kill.
The envoy from Tubo had already set off, and was about to enter the place of Datang, carrying a heavy responsibility, but did not know what would happen after the past.
…
Zhang Xiaobao also began to make final preparations. The ship was transferred to the capital. There were a total of 20 ships, five of which were the largest, and the others were medium-sized ships.
Anyone who could have the opportunity to join also joined in, including the three old man Bi, and old man Zhang has also been in contact with Zhang Jiuling during this period, to talk about the things in the past few years, and then look at his son.
"Li Yu is over there, right? I don't know if I can see him and ask how he is doing there." When he was ready to travel, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly remembered that he was working in Changning County, Cizhou. Li Yu, the county magistrate, has not been in contact for a long time, and it is unclear whether he has played against anyone there.
Wang Juan also thought of this person and said, "I'm probably busy. I should be able to see him this time. Fenshui is not far from Changning County, that is, a little bit past the border. Li Longji passed by. How can he say If you want to see the previous side, especially if you manage it well, how can you not show off?"
"Give him a letter, just in time for him to make more money." Zhang Xiaobao said and wrote a letter, letting people send it to Li Yu quickly. The method of making money is very useful, and it can make a lot of money if done well. , As for whether Li Yu will do it himself or let others do it, it doesn't matter.
As Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, Li Yu is indeed going to meet his uncle, but now the county has not done everything well. He really wants to show the emperor a very good one when the emperor arrives. County, not to mention that it can catch up with Sanshui County, at least it needs to be about the same.
Roads are being repaired, rivers are being dug, and business is being done. Changning County says it’s not big, and it’s not too small. Li Yu intends to repair all the houses of the people in the county before the emperor arrives. I'm glad to come over and have a look.
In order to get more money to do things, Li Yu invited business to the surrounding places again, with a lot of discounts. If he rents the land here and does business, he can be exempted from tax for three years. If he is willing to invest money to help If you build a place, then you can continue to be tax-free.
There are merchants who are really tempted to come here with money to open business, saying that it is a business. In fact, there is no good business here. One is in the transportation industry and the other is in ceramics.
The former industry is a supplement to the latter, and the latter industry has caused an impact on the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce. So many places, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce simply cannot occupy all of them. They only occupy a small place of resources, other people’s resources. It may not necessarily be sold to them all.
With the participation of other merchants, the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce finally can't bear it. Even if they make pottery that is different from others, they will not be able to raise the price. If there is no high price, they will make it here. Although the transaction will not lose, it does not make much.
So the six people once again gathered to discuss together.
"Should I take out another 100,000 guan, and take up a little more shares? Otherwise, if this goes on, Li Yu will always follow to take advantage, rent his land, and buy his mine. How much does it cost? Can't do this anymore ."
Chairman Tian said to the five people.
The five people were silent. They also found that something was wrong, but they could not come up with any solution. The tax exemption from the cooperation with the merchant was calculated once, not only did not make a little money, but also lost a lot of money. , But it is clearly stated in the contract that if the tax exemption is not possible after the cooperation, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce will need to bear all the losses of the merchants.
So many businessmen were drawn over, and they lost a lot of money at once, but they couldn't find a chance to make up for it.
Nowadays, many businessmen are attracted by Li Yu’s tax exemption. The competition is getting fiercer and no more useful methods. It is estimated that the end result is to help Li Yu prosper the local economy. What is the use of tax exemption for ten years
Seeing that five people were silent, Chairman Tian could only say to himself: "A good plan, if it is not for tax exemption for ten years, let alone make money, we will not be able to keep it, invest 50,000 guana, and also spend money to buy a lot of resources. In the end, we can only make a little bit of money. As a result, the place where we buy materials will pay taxes, and there will be income when the land is rented.
When our pottery is sold, it is estimated that it will be another sum of money for transportation. It is the same whether it is for others to transport or we do it ourselves.
What I mean is that, if we take out another 100,000 guan, this time we will collect less iron ore and more clay, and sign a contract with the place where the clay is dug. We must first supply us before we can supply it to others, or we will account for 80%. The others accounted for 20%.
Let their later merchants have no materials to use, so they are not afraid that they will compete with us. With one hundred thousand guanans, plus the remaining 60,000 guanns before, take out 150,000 guanns to buy clay, and you will be able to give the clay from the county all at once. If you buy it all, no one else will want to occupy this resource within a few years. "
Now the five people knew the president's plan, and they felt good, and nodded and agreed.
While Chairman Tian asked people to go to the Sihai Academy to transport money, he went to find Li Yu himself.
As soon as he saw President Tian's haggard look, Li Yuan was happy. Whoever makes the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce not cooperate in business transactions must go through the wrong way. If he does, he will suffer the consequences.
Originally, I really wanted to support the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce during normal business operations, but now that something has happened, you can’t blame yourself for being ruthless. This is the action of tax-free investment promotion. In addition to this, there are follow-ups. , We must sell ourselves to the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce to reduce the price of the shares.
Thinking like this, Li Yu smiled kindly at Chairman Tian, "Chairman Tian is free to come over today? How many kilns have been burned? I am waiting to make a lot of money, and I will not forget the help of Chairman Tian. Ah, tea."
Chairman Tian watched the tea and melon seeds come up. He was really thirsty. He took a sip and said, "Master Li, are there too many investment invitations recently? And many of them are the same pottery people. Our business is not good. It's easy to do."
"How? I think it's okay, and I didn't exempt them from tax for ten years like you did with the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce. They just exempted them for three years. If you want to exempt them, you have to pay a higher price. In fact, Yamen There is no way to do it in China, even if you have to make money in it now, you have to do it.
Chairman Tian also knows that a chamber of commerce is said to be the most profitable monopoly, but for a county, businessmen’s competition is the most beneficial. The official is waiting for three years to collect more taxes. "
Li Yu was talking nonsense with his eyes open. Chairman Tian would naturally not believe it. Don't think of it as tax exemption for three years, but renting land is money, right? It’s the kind of bad land that is rented, that is, the land that no one is farming on. The merchants who come to look at the map first, and can’t change it if they choose. If there are other people on it, they have to relocate and compensate them. .
There is a lot of money for this part, as well as coal and wood used to burn kilns. This is another amount of money. In large-scale transactions, there will be no less taxation in the county, and the same is true in places where soil is sold.
Chairman Tian made an estimate and felt that this year’s tax revenue in Changning County could catch up to 20 times what it used to be. Where did so many businessmen come from before, and the roads were not so easy to walk. Now, whoever wants to build a kiln must first Repair that section of the road.
As a result, many businessmen have come now. Li Yu can connect all the roads with a small amount of money here, and make a big road. It is easy to calculate. This is Zhang Xiaobao's real ability, and the layout is not so big.
After thinking for a while, Chairman Tian had no choice but to stop mentioning this. After all, there was no stipulation in the contract that other merchants were not allowed to come, and the money that should be paid could not be kept, so he said to Li Yu:
"Master Li, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce is going to continue to use money to increase shares. I don't know if Master Li agrees?"
"Is this going to increase? Agreed. Wasn't it written in the original contract? I don't know how much Chairman Datian wants to increase?" Li Yu thought it would take some time for the other party to increase the shares. There will be more money. When the money comes, it is impossible to just leave it there. If that is the case, my financial staff will tell myself.
"I want to add 100,000 Guans." Chairman Tian gritted his teeth and said the number, mainly because he didn't know whether he could achieve the goal he wanted after the money was invested.
If there is no Zhang Xiaobao behind Li Yu, then there should be no problem, but if there is that person, it seems that everything can happen.
"That means my shares have become 25%, right? Okay, if I want to invest money, I will tell you." Li Yu had no objection, it was written like this in the contract, and Zhang Xiaobao had already analyzed it. arrive.
"Yes, if Master Li feels that there is less, we can still let out half of it." Chairman Tian was afraid that Li Yu was upset, and prepared to lose some points in order to monopolize resources in the future.
"No, don't let it, business is business, is it possible that you look down on me? You think I will use my identity to bully people?"
Li Yu quickly refused. What's the use of asking for half of it? It's better to follow Xiaobao's plan. Sure enough, he has to do it again. Okay, it's a pity if you have money and don't make money.
Chairman Tian was relieved, and casually talked about the pottery burned there, and didn't stay too much, so he left.
Li Yu's staff member turned out from behind the screen again, holding the plan originally written by Zhang Xiaobao in his hand, with a look of admiration.
"My lord, do you immediately form your own caravan to the surrounding counties to discuss business? The people from the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce are already going to do it."
"Go, I'll leave this to you. Taxes, a lot of taxes. There is money in Xia County. The money invested by my brother and Xiaobao can also be earned back a little bit. If you can find something else. People just need to borrow money, but now they need to use county money to advance the payment.
This is embezzlement. Even if I borrow it myself, the people agree. I will have to find a way to compensate in the future. Fortunately, no one will hold me accountable. Where can I not embezzle? The court moved back and forth. "
Li Yu left the matter to Xiao Chong, thinking of the need to embezzle public funds, and always felt awkward. I didn't feel that way when embezzling before.
Of course, this is not white misappropriation. You need to use a few small transactions of your own as collateral, otherwise the current yamen finances are open and there is no collateral, so it is difficult to explain to the people.
When Li Longji from the capital got on the boat, Zhang Xiaobao's letter to Li Yu was also delivered.
After unfolding the letter, Li Yu read it again, showing a happy smile, and said to herself: "Little treasure is little treasure, well-deserved, well, plant willow trees, a lot of plants, wherever bamboo can be planted also hard. Then buy hay and stalks from the autumn harvest in this county and surrounding counties, waiting to make a lot of money."
Thinking of what I’m happy about, I picked up the letter and reviewed it again. The above gave an analysis of the future development of Changning County. It said that as long as the merchants who invested money had money to make money, they would not withdraw. This year, perhaps other things will be Enough, after all, the newly opened kiln needs to try to see how to burn it.
Every kiln is different. Some kilns are good, while others are a little bit worse. Naturally, the bad ones have to be rebuilt. After the kilns are tested and sold out next year, that will be the real era of mass production. arrival.
Pottery, it’s not enough to keep one by one. There must be protective measures. What is the best for protection, of course, is bamboo and wicker baskets, as well as hay. Absolutely out of stock.
In that case, it is too late to prepare now. Whether it is to make money for yourself or to help the merchants to transport the goods safely as soon as possible, they must be prepared in advance.
Willow trees are very easy to live. Just insert a willow branch. The growth rate is not slow, especially bamboo.
In addition to this suggestion, there is another option for Changning to also start making briquettes, which are then used to burn fire, and the saved firewood will be made into paper. The thick one will be provided by Zhang Wang and his family. After being pressed out, it can also be used in pottery.
Reading it over and over again, every time I see Li Yu, I feel comfortable in my heart. This is the real good way to use the resources and wait for the people of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce to use the money from the increased capital, and then earn a lot of money. money.
"No, I have to prepare early and write down information about these things. When my uncle arrives in Fenshui, I have something to say when I meet my uncle."
With the decision in mind, Li Yu arranged for people to gather enough grass, and at the same time let people plant a large number of willows and bamboos, and at the same time began to write a report, all the data were listed, so as to wait for the fleet to arrive. Can speak fluently.
…
Zhang Xiaobao didn't know how much Li Yu could do, and he didn't plan to make money in Changning. When the team set off, he was arranged on the big boat where Li Longji was, followed by Xiaobei and others.
The canal where the boat walks will enter Fenshui at a place where it can change lanes in front.
It was not easy for Li Longji to come out once. There were still many people who opposed it. Finally, it was after Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were willing to pay, that the opponents agreed, otherwise it would take a lot of effort.
As soon as he arrived on the ship, Li Longji was bored in the cabin without thinking about it. He moved a set of things and sat on the deck at the bow, looking around with a telescope in his hand.
The road we are walking now is smooth, and it is upstream when we are about to enter the Fenshui River. Therefore, the speed of the boat is very fast. In addition to the guards on the boat, there are also Jinwuwei riding horses on the shore to prevent anyone from lying in ambush.
A day and a half later, at midday, Li Longji still ran outside to sit down, taking a look at the scenery of his own country, and looking at it, he saw that there was an extra bridge over the river in front of him.
"Luxury, do you know when this bridge was exited?" Li Longji, who was surprised, asked Gaolishi who was standing next to him.
Gao Lishi didn't know either. He looked at it suspiciously, shook his head, and replied: "I don't know, who built a bridge so kindly? There are so many people on the bridge, why stop at the bridge head? "
As Gao Lishi said, there were a lot of people coming and going on this bridge that seemed to pop up suddenly, and some people used trolleys to push goods, which was strenuous when walking, because the bridge would sway back and forth, and it was a chain bridge.
Gao Lishi didn't know, so he brought Luo Bin over. Luo Bin went to other places to pass on his will some time ago. After going there for ten days, I think he can know.
The little eunuch Luo Bin hurried over. When he looked up and saw the bridge in front of him, he was surprised and said: "Oh, it's so fast. When I passed by last time, it hadn't been repaired. The movements of King Zhang and his family were fast enough. "
Hearing what he said, Li Longji and Gao Lishi both knew what was going on. It should be that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that it was inconvenient to travel here when they came here, so they built a bridge. It was really fast. This is the only one to come. In a month's time, a chain bridge will come out, and if you have money, you will feel comfortable doing things.
"Xiaobao and the cuckoo have a very good heart. This bridge costs a lot of money, right? What do you use to suppress the two sides?" Li Longji looked at the bridge carefully, exaggerated, and asked again.
"In response to your Majesty, the two sides are made of cement, steel bars and pebbles. This is the only way to stretch the iron cable. Even if a hundred people stand on it, it will not break. And I heard that it will be carried out every year in the future. Maintenance, it's just... it's just... ”
Luo Bin didn't know whether he should say it or not as he said, his eyes looked at Gao Lishi.
"What do you see me doing? Tell your majesty if you have anything." Gao Lishi stared, and said to his heart that you are not framing me. You can't say anything about it. Look at me, it's too annoying.
Li Longji ignored such trivial matters, he smiled, and waited for Luo Bin to continue talking.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it’s just that it’s not so easy to travel on this bridge. You have to spend money. It’s a penny after two times. There can be monthly or annual packages. The longer the package, the cheaper it is. If you don’t have money, you can use goods. For example, one egg can be passed three times now, if it is a goose egg, it can be passed five times at least, and..."
"Why do you want money? Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, call them to me, they are short of this money? I gave it, and even the eggs are counted."
As soon as Li Longji heard that the bridge needs to be paid, he just happily exaggerated the mood of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and when he was asked to call two people, he raised his binoculars and looked carefully. Isn’t it? Both ends of the bridge are sitting A person, waiting for others to throw money into the box next to him, there are still a few Louzi.
At this time, two adults took a child across the bridge. They didn't pay, and took out an egg and put it in the Louzi.
"Luxury, what do you think of this? The people just came and went for a while, and they actually took the money. He Zhang and the Wang family really lack this amount of money? If they let the people spread, would their family's reputation be so good? If you can use so much money to repair the canal, build roads on Jiannan Road, and provide development funds for the villages that help pave the roads, why do you have to collect money from the canals in the capital?"
Li Longji looked at it and said angrily to Gao Lishi, no wonder Luo Bin hesitated just now, it turned out to be so.
Gao Lishi also frowned, and also wondered, there are so many people coming and going, but how long do you want to earn back the money from the bridge repair? I couldn't answer it for a while, and after holding it back, he said:
"Your Majesty, does the minister think that the people who guard the bridge carry Xiaobao and Juanjuan to collect money? When Xiaobao and Juanjuan come over, it will be clear if you ask them."
"Well, you ask, let the two of them tell the truth." Li Longji was still looking at the pedestrians passing by on the bridge, feeling uncomfortable.
It didn't take long before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked over, holding hands.
"Your Majesty is here to enjoy the coolness. Your Majesty will look at the bridge in front. It was repaired by the cuckoo and I when we came over. We will repair more in the future, including your Majesty's going to the river in Jinyang."
Zhang Xiaobao pointed at the bridge Li Longji was looking at and said leisurely.
Gao Lishi looked at the two people and asked, "Xiaobao, to be honest, does that bridge collect money?"
"Yes, it's very cheap. I only charge a penny twice. If I only pass it once, I will give a voucher. When I think about it, I can use it."
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and admitted, and also explained how the specific penny was divided into two halves.
Li Longji put down his binoculars and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "You are short of this money? What will the people think? If you want to be famous, tell me right away that you are not allowed to collect money. If you have already received it, then forget it. ."
"That won’t work. If you don’t collect money, don’t you invest in it in vain? My family does not lack that money. According to this situation, it will take two years to earn back the money from bridge repairs, and then part of the money earned will be used. Come to maintain, part of it is used to arrange houses at the bridgehead, so that people who come and go can rest.
My family does not expect this to make a fortune, but it must be collected. This is the case for future bridges. If it works, the road will be repaired. The caravan will also be called tolls. "
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care about Li Longji's staring eyes at all, the money had to be collected.
Li Long basically thought that Zhang Xiaobao would follow suit, but unexpectedly refused, and opened his mouth to order again. Gao Lishi said at this time: "Xiaobao, there must be a reason, right? Since there is no shortage, why do you still accept it."
"Naturally, there are reasons why my family does not lack this money, but it does not mean that all people are not lacking. Many businessmen actually want to do something good, but if the money is invested to repair bridges and repair roads, it will be maintained every year. Expenses. When the business is done well, it is okay. If it suddenly fails, the naturally built bridges and roads will gradually be abandoned.
If, like me, let the people passing by pay a little money, in the future, even if the merchants have no money, they can still have tolls for maintenance. Moreover, the money should be collected. One of the people sitting on both sides of the bridge is ferrying on the canal. The boatman, he will collect money for ferry. Now that there is a bridge, he doesn’t need to ferry. He sits on it and collects money. Then he will get a little bit of money, which is similar to that for ferry.
Without this bridge, would it not cost money to take a boat? It spends more. All many people would rather go far and reluctant to pay for the money to cross the river. Ours is cheap, especially for those who travel frequently. The monthly package is only 20 yuan, and the annual package is 200 yuan, which is so cheap. "
Zhang Xiaobao intends to carry out the charging to the end.
Wang Juan is also helping out, "Isn’t it? Just thinking about doing good things will make the lost businessmen unable to do anything in the end. How can it be done? Xiaobao and I are going to earn back the money for bridge repairs first, and wait. Make more money and continue to use it to build bridges and roads, collect the wealth of the sky and the people, and build the roads that the sky and the people walk."
Li Longji was silent now, and no longer asked Zhang Xiaobao to cancel the charge, but instead thought of what the two people said. At this time, the boat had reached the bridge, and the people on the bridge would have been emptied long ago. What should I do if my spit falls
Li Longji looked up at the iron rope holding the template and the rope to make up for the leakage. He felt that what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said was also good. If another businessman said that, he would think he was arguing. Does any businessman care about money
But when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan say it, there is no doubt that they are really not short of money. They spend a lot of money on local infrastructure construction every year. They are expecting to collect bridge tolls and tolls. It's impossible to make a fortune.
Gao Lishi is also considering this issue. He was tempted by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Yes, it doesn't take long to pay without asking for any return. Is there one in a hundred merchants
So he said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, if Xiaobao and Juanjuan really say, there will be more people willing to build bridges and roads in the future. Why don't I worry that the roads of Tang Dynasty are not smooth? Countless businessmen took the initiative to go. Repair, I guess it won't take a few years, I will have roads everywhere in Datang, and bridges between rivers and rivers."
Li Longji nodded, if the court really paid so many roads and bridges, the court would not be able to afford it, even if it was made temporarily, it would not be able to maintain it.
I almost figured it out, just about to approve, and suddenly thought of the most critical question, and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "Then what if a lot of businessmen build roads and bridges just to make money? Isn't the people's money? Let them make money.
For example, your bridge can be backed up in two years. If you want to come, other people will not repair the bridge on the Yellow River, right? I can’t afford it. I can only repair it in a place like this. What if they deliberately raise the price? "
"I will pay taxes in a while and write a document. As long as I earn the road and bridge fees, I will first give it to the local government. However, the money is directly given to the capital and cannot be embezzled or detained locally. If this happens, the payback will be extended. Time, heavy taxes, it is estimated that it will take four years to pay back.
After paying back, you must continue to pay taxes and reduce the cost of exchanges. It is clearly stated in the contract. Then your Majesty will be able to raise a lot of money, and then use this money to do things, take it from the people, and use it for civil. "
Zhang Xiaobao knew what to do without thinking about such a problem.
Wang Juan also said: "Exactly, the only difficulty is that no matter how good the policy is, it needs to be implemented by people, such as concealing a false report, saying that it cannot be embezzled and still embezzled. This is the crux of the problem. Once you have a lot of money, Many officials are even willing to do it at the risk of decapitation."
Listening to the words of the two people, Li Longji sighed, agreeing with what Zhang Xiaobao said, but also worried about what Wang Juan mentioned. It is true. Who can guarantee that the officials below will not be greedy? Always with a fluke mind, even if he knows that he might be decapitated.
Unable to think of a solution for a while, Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi had his own consideration and said: "Your Majesty, you can let many officials who have no positions move around the place. One is to monitor whether bridges and roads have been built in a certain place, and whether the money has been collected, and the other can be paid to them. Find a job.
If someone wants to bribe them, it's okay. Your Majesty can ask different people to go there every half month to see if they give it. You can even use this to hook into the assessment.
For example, officials in the county supervise each other. As long as someone is found to have done this, then once they report it, they can get a chance to appreciate. Although it cannot be completely eliminated, it will definitely have a good effect. Then send someone to check it occasionally, and then kill it. A few, but also to make the officials more honest. "
"This plan is feasible?" Li Longji had actually approved this method in his heart, but he still asked Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded: "If you can really kill yourself, you won't be afraid of too many officials doing wrong things, you will be rotten from the roots and protect each other at all levels. If the generals and officials do things, the court will kill them if they don't do well. That's the most dangerous thing."
"Kill, you must kill, no one can beg for mercy. Let me try this out in various rivers of Gyeonggi Province and see how to say it. Then I will promote it to the whole Datang. Let me first come from you and write to me well. A plan to collect taxes on the chain bridge."
Li Longji wasn't confused yet, and he was ready to promote it throughout Datang, but if he didn't do it, he wasn't reconciled. How much money would he get? Why didn't he make it? The national treasury is indeed much stronger than before, but it is also not easy to start a war, not to mention that there are more things to do, such as the continuous repair of the canal.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and agreed to accept the tax. He didn't expect to make money on the bridge. Keep going. The fairs on both sides of the bridge are the ones that make money. Those are tax-free and the court won't care.
Li Longji resolved a concern, and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "Can you build a few bridges on the Yellow River? You pay part of it, and part of the court. It's really not good. You can also pay directly to the court. After all, your family has spent a lot of money recently. "
"It depends on what kind of bridge is built. If it is like the Yangtze River and cannot be repaired, a bridge was built just in time for someone to make trouble. No one here is making trouble. Do you want to change the course of the Yellow River? What's the matter? Don't look at the bridge over the Yangtze River, but compared with the loss in the first place, the income now is too small."
Zhang Xiaobao was worried that Li Longji had to repair it like that. How much did it cost? Who can change the course of the river
Wang Juan also added: “If it’s a chain suspension bridge, it’s okay. Just choose a narrow place to build it. But compared to the canal, it will cost more. If the court is not in a hurry, wait for the autumn harvest. Xiaobao and I can raise money to do this."
"How to raise?" Li Longji was still worried for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, fearing that they would make it difficult for the family to spend the money.
"Tubo, there are also places in Japan and Xinyuan Island. Today, Tubo is finished. You can exchange a lot of resources with food. If you have resources, you will have money. Japan is waiting for the silver ore to be shipped back this time. It's time to do it, there is silver and gold.
In addition to Silla, the people from Silla are playing games with Li Yu in Changning County of Cizhou. The purpose of their investment is not pure. They want to deceive. Xiaobao and I gave Li Yu an idea. Then it's time to fight back, don't worry about taking advantage of this one by one. "
Wang Juan refers to the west, and also refers to the east and south, explaining to Li Longji.
Li Longji suddenly, yes, Xiaobao still counts people. He didn't count the people of Datang, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't count other countries. If you don’t know what Zhang Xiaobao did to the surrounding countries, it’s really easy for people to think. Xiaobao is only so economically, there is no good way.
It is precisely because of the comparison that makes people understand that Xiaobao or the expert of the Zhang family is thinking about Datang, and there are many things that cannot be done, but they are unwilling to do.
Thinking of this, Li Longji suddenly felt embarrassed, "Always let you pay, okay?"
"It's okay, as long as your Majesty agrees to let us open the bank vigorously, oh, the bank will do. Your Majesty allows the normal operation of our bank, and we will take care of the bridge of the Yellow River."
Zhang Xiaobao was worried that someone would compete with him, so he just found an opportunity. Even if it was worth a million dollars to repair the bridge, it would not cost so much.
"What bank?" Li Longji faintly felt that things were not that simple, and now he has to think deeply about what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put forward at random.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had to selectively talk to Li Longji and Gao Lishi about the bank’s affairs, with the aim of facilitating merchants’ buying and selling, promoting economic prosperity, reducing transportation costs and risks, and by the way, they can earn a small amount of money to subsidize the family. Now the cotton is up. The price is over, and Beckham hasn't made their new clothes yet.
After listening to Li Longji, he eliminated the first few things that served others. The most impressive thing was to make a small amount of money.
He said that he didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were willing to spend so much money to build the bridge just to make a small amount of money. The past is vivid. How did Fengzhou's good pastures give it? How did Zhang Wang's family be appointed as officials? How did the east of Jinchuan and the west of Datang including the desert become the territory of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan
All, Li Longji did not directly agree, but said
