Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 725

[Chapter 350 Win or lose is undecided in the county]

The two Gua Erzhen came back, and each of them brought a lot of contracts. President Tian’s four-type promise gave a reassuring smile and said to Li Li, who was still looking at the terrain over there:

“Master Li, in fact, there are too many. It’s okay to cultivate a part of it. After all, people who do business also have conscience. If they can do more good things for the people, they can do more “little

” really?” Li Li didn’t expect President Tian to talk so well, he was wondering if it was himself Add some more money in. For a person like myself, no matter how much money is, it is better to have a good reputation. If you don’t have money, you can control what others want. If you don’t have money, you can still have a brother who is adopted by others. You can just extend his hand.

Seeing President Tian smiling and nodding, Li Li said happily: “Okay, I like businessmen with conscience, making money is for making money, but you can’t just think about money in order to make money, you must have some people in your heart, just like Xiaobao and Cuckoo, oh, not to mention them, they are officials, just like Shui Yunjian, who does a good job

, President Tian can make more money, naturally he will not refute Li Li’s words, Shui Yunjian is not Zhang Wangliang What’s the difference? When I followed Li Li forward, I winked at the people next to me, which meant to ask them to go out again, and whispered to the person closest to me.

“This county .

If there are no more businessmen, you can go to other counties to see them, bring them in, and charge less tax, such as 30%, or even 20%

. Chief, I’ll arrange it right away.” The person who got the order agreed, and then made a random excuse to leave, and hired a car to rush to other counties with the fastest speed.

Li Li pretended not to notice their little actions, and the little bug kept one eye on the side. He admired Zhang Xiaobao even more now, and the plan had already mentioned this point, so it could be said that the enemy came first.

While they were looking at the terrain here, the yamen in Changning County posted a notice, both those who knew the characters and those who didn’t, would come close to see them, and those who knew the characters had to tell others.

A large group of people surrounded the place closest to the entrance of the yamen, which was specially used for posting notices. At the front stood a man dressed as a scholar. In order to show respect, the people around gave up their seats, and no one pushed him, etc. He read the words on the notice.

“The county has issued a new regulation that any person or businessman who needs to pay taxes will pay late for any excuse. Those who refuse to pay will be sent to the yamen for compulsory collection, and three to five times the punishment will be imposed depending on their attitude. People in Wangxian’s merchants keep this in mind. , no, just this one

person dressed as a scholar recites aloud with his hands behind his back. It is also an honor to be respected by so many people who don’t know how to read. Of course, if the scoring place is in Sanshui County, no one needs it. When he came to read it, it was enough for someone in the family who had studied in the school for two years to take the baby out. The

people still thought that it was such a big deal,

seeing that it was to let the business people take the initiative and pay the tax in a timely manner. They felt very disappointed and sighed. They dispersed again.

“President Tian, how about the river you want to lead from here?

There are several rivers ahead here, which can be connected. It is convenient to use water at that time. Even if the river is well repaired, it is not necessary to trouble

Li Li to lead the crowd to another place and look left and right. , take out the map in your hand.

After careful comparison, he said to President Tian of the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce.

President Tian

still had that reserved smile, “Lord Li is fine. The map in Mr. Li’s hand seems to be more detailed than the one used for the game. I wonder if you can show me?”

Looking at the map in Li Li’s hand, I realized the problem and wanted a copy.

Li Li quickly put the map together.

Very simply refused: “No, even if this official shows you, do you really dare to look at it? This is a military map, of course it is detailed, and this official also serves as the state’s recorder and joins the army. map. Small

Li Li made an excuse for himself. In fact, he doesn’t have any. There are only two places where there are serious military maps with contour lines in the entire Tang Dynasty. One is the imperial palace in the capital, and the other is Zhang Wangliang. It would be nice if Zhang Xiaobao could give him a piece of Changning.

Even so, there is a lack of annotations on this map. For example, when the horseshoe is walking in a certain place, is it difficult to do it? For example, when climbing a mountain, what kind of things can be used to collect materials on the spot. These are all missing.

As soon as President Tian heard that it was a military map, he really wanted one, but he didn’t dare. What does a businessman’s idea of making a military map mean?

Nodding regretfully, President Tian stopped mentioning the map, and continued to follow Li Li around.

Two days later, it was discussed where to build the road and where to open the river. The people from the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce immediately transferred money and hired local people to get busy.

This time, the people also learned that there is another chamber of commerce called Qianshi, who will do good things for the county together with the county magistrate. The chamber of commerce is good, but the county magistrate is even better.

In order to make the people more active, a notice was posted at the entrance of the yamen, which explained that the idea of jointly building the road with the Chamber of Commerce was proposed by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan of Zhangjia, Sanshui County, so everyone should not worry.

Many people really don’t know what the Zhang family in Sanshui County is, but there are businessmen who have traveled south and north to know, and they brag about it when they eat. This time, the people all know it, a very powerful family. , the baby born is equally powerful, and wherever he goes, he never misses anything.

It is good for the common people, it is very good at making money, and the officials are clean and honest.

Knowing this situation, the enthusiasm of the people came up, and they signed up to build roads.

Li Li also followed the practice of Zhang Wang’s family and his elder brother, using the money that Qianshi Chamber of Commerce cooperated with him to pay the people, and was also responsible for several meals a day, also working shifts during the day and night.

At this time of prosperity, rumors appeared in the county.

Whether it is a tea shop or a tavern, many people are saying that it was Zhang Xiaobao of the very powerful Zhang family who suffered this time. The plan for Li Li went wrong, and the people of the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce took advantage of it and cooperated with the local people. businessmen cooperate and avoid paying taxes.

Such rumors made the people lose their confidence in Zhang Xiaobao, and at the same time made them disgusted with the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce, because Li Li learned the way of Baoxin County two days ago, and every day began to introduce in detail to the people in the county how much money there was in Yapiao. , how did they come from, and where did they spend them.

Among them, it emphasized the help of taxation to the yamen, and also to the people in the county.

After the transparent and open financial reports were made known to the people, the people hoped that the yamen would have more money, because for a part of the expenditure, there were subsidies for poor households and the renovation of all houses in the entire county within five years.

Everyone is waiting for the yamen to use more money to help them repair their houses and use it for civilian use. Now there is a lot of money, but some of them are not directly controlled by the county and need to be turned over. It’s not Li Li’s fief, he hasn’t yet.

All part of the money can be kept in the county, and more hustle and bustle must be sent to the capital, as well as rented children.

Even if the people are stupid, they can’t stand the wise people to explain, saying that if the people of the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce do this, they can make money, and the taxation of the yamen will be over. The more businessmen they contact, the more the county will be. poverty.

The Qianshi Chamber of Commerce, which had just spent money on repairing roads and rivers, became a profiteer in the hearts of the people, not a good thing.

At the same time, I am also very disappointed with Zhang Xiaobao. Why did such a powerful person lose to others.

President Tian didn’t expect this to happen. At first, Li Li didn’t disclose the county’s finances at all. How could the people know how much money there was in the yamen and what to spend it on? If it was not disclosed, then the Chamber of Commerce would go too far. The people don’t know either.

Well now, all the good reputation that I paid for is gone.

In desperation, President Tian found Li Li and said to him: “Lord Li, can you stop that daily announcement? It’s not good for the people to know too much.

“stop?

Why do you stop? It’s not a secret thing in private. This official believes that he is honest enough to be an official. Everything in the yamen is something that can’t be told to others. Also, what you said is wrong, it’s called the people. If you don’t let it, you can’t, let it know, if you don’t let the people understand what the officials are going to do, how can the people support it wholeheartedly?

.

Li Li did not have any room for negotiation on this matter, and introduced the situation in Xiabaoxin County with President Tian. As long as the officials there want to do something, as long as the people understand, there is no need to worry about the shortage of manpower. People will move with it, and it makes people excited to think about what kind of scene.

President Tian felt that Li Li did it on purpose. He thought that Li Li had already known about the cooperation between the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce and other businessmen, but the content written in the current contract could not be changed. With such a method, Qian Shijian will lose his good reputation in revenge.

Thinking of these, UU reading www.

President Tian of sonicmtl.com said again: “Master Li, if the reputation of the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce is ruined, if it wants to recruit workers, the people will not be willing to come, so how can we continue our business?”

“Don’t worry, as long as the workshop As soon as the construction starts, this official will come immediately. Oh, it has been eight days since we signed the contract, right?

Li Li promised, and suddenly said something inexplicable to President Tian.

“That’s right, it’s been eight days. In a few days, the workshop will start construction. Master Li, does the number of days have anything to do with the workshop?

.

President Tian turned back and asked suspiciously.

“It has nothing to do with this, but it has something to do with taxation. According to the county’s regulations, businessmen can default on tax for ten days at most. If they do not pay taxes after ten days, the punishment will be severe. No businessman has paid tax these days. This official is anxious for them.”

Li Li explained as she looked at President Tian with meaningful eyes.

President Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Li Li was too indifferent.
