Chapter 31: Planning to Make Money
The carriage in front of the mansion stopped, and after handing over the carriage to the little servant, Tang Sheng and the others began to stride into the mansion.
When he came to the living room, after commanding his subordinates to serve tea, Tang Sheng sat on the main seat and looked at the chief guard beside him and said, "Shengzhi, what impact do you think the emergence of a force like the black shop will have on Twilight Town?"
"Back to the mayor, my subordinates think..."
"You sit down, think hard, and then speak slowly. ”
Just as Tang Zhisheng was about to speak, Tang Sheng suddenly interjected.
The subordinates thought about it for a while and felt that this was a good thing, as long as they had money in the future, they would be able to improve their abilities, and it would be no worse than penance, or even worse. ”
"And those who don't have talent can become mysterious, this is God bless me Twilight Town,"
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Shengzhi said leisurely.
"You're right, but you didn't consider what impact the Black Shop would have on Twilight Town, or even the entire Great Spirit Mountain Kingdom, if the Black Shop had higher-level things. Tang Sheng explained.
Seeing that the other party was a little stunned, he shook his head, and secretly said that although he was a good guard chief, he was a bit old-fashioned and didn't know how to be flexible.
He felt that if the black shop had goods that could provide the use of middle and high-level mystical masters, it would definitely make a complete change in the current Lingshan Kingdom.
Don't talk about the far, let's talk about the near, the rich and powerful forces, their strong people will only increase, ordinary warriors who have no money and no backing, and even ordinary people who can't afford to buy goods.
Their status will only get lower and lower, and they will not be able to turn over at all when they are pressed by the strong, and maybe one or two lucky people will occasionally stand out.
As for the various forces of the Lingshan Kingdom, they will fight in order to compete for resources and earn more money, and if the royal family can't hold it down, it may not even be foreign to other masters.
Thinking of this, he had an idea, and he didn't care about the country, as long as the one-meter-and-three-point land in Twilight Town was still his own.
Because the Lingshan Kingdom is a princely system, each city belongs to the private property of every town mayor, county lord, and city lord.
As long as the annual tribute is not treasonous, and the royal family basically does not participate in the management of the cities, they can earn benefits anyway, and they have the strength to suppress it, so they don't worry about state affairs, and even the royal capital is managed by people.
Since you can get benefits lying down, why do you have to work hard to do things, as for the development of the country or something.
As long as the city lord who wants to work hard to develop the city must work hard to develop, their city will be strong, and the Lingshan country will be strong.
Thinking of the basic national policy of Lingshan Country, Tang Sheng thought about whether to change the previous strategy.
Take back all the interests and decentralization of the town, and the mayor's mansion intervenes in the operation of Twilight Town.
But thinking of the two major forces in the town, my head began to hurt a little.
Let's not talk about the two major forces, I used to feel that my talent was almost at the top, and there were no children and no daughters under my knees, and no one inherited his position.
No matter how well Twilight Town operates, it will still be someone else's, or wait for Tang Shengzhi to have a son in the future and let his son inherit it.
So it didn't interfere like most other towns, or it was completely run by its own forces.
Instead, they chose a free-range policy, and only collected a tax of 30%, instead of a minimum tax of more than 50% as in other cities.
However, now the two major forces in the town are not said to be able to take them back.
And even if you use force to buy and sell to recover resources, there are so many resources near Twilight Town, it makes no sense, and it will be scattered.
Besides, even if force is used, the two will unite against the mayor's mansion, and after recovering the resources, the mayor's mansion and even Twilight Town will be abolished.
Not to mention that there is a general pavilion in the county behind Yuhua Pavilion, and the group of tigers and wolves in the Salt Gang are not vegetarians.
The more Tang Sheng thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he didn't even notice Tang Shengzhi, who had quietly retreated after seeing himself pondering.
Rubbing his temples, Tang Sheng's brain cells continued to function.
Since it is impossible to use force, and it is impossible to recover the management rights of the two companies without using force, is it possible to raise taxes?
But the sudden increase in taxes will certainly not be acceptable to the people.
Or is it just to raise the taxes of the merchants? The merchants will certainly not do it.
I knew that I would not reduce taxes from the beginning, although the previous reduction of taxes was loved by the people, and even the people with conditions in the surrounding areas migrated over.
Although it has changed from a small town of 10,000 or 20,000 people to a small town with 100,000 people.
But the benefits are not much, although there are more people, the taxes are lower, and the resources are saturated.
Revenues are about the same as they would have been if taxes had not been lowered.
I don't know how long Tang Sheng thought about it, and then he had some ideas.
Since the resources cannot be recovered, if you want to make money, you can only raise taxes and develop resources.
If the resources are exploited, they can only enter the branch of the Brute Beast Forest, or the edge of the outer area of the Brute Beast Forest.
Because the mineral resources of the major barbarian beast forests surrounding the entire Lingshan Country have basically been occupied by some big forces.
Even the various resource veins in the depths have been occupied by the top forces.
His strength can only wander around the edge or branch veins of the outer area, and even if he adds a small annihilation, he can only stay in the outer area for a short time.
If you accidentally encounter a second-order or even third-order brute beast, you will definitely lose your life.
As for the 100,000 mountains farther away from the Brute Beast Forest, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Even the strong people of the royal family did not dare to wander around the periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain.
Thinking about it this way, you can see that the Great Forest of Barbarian Beasts is just a certain forest on the edge of the outer edge of the 100,000 Great Mountain.
After thinking that the resources of the Brute Beast Forest were basically occupied by the major forces, he felt that he could only sell beasts, although high-level beasts were also the resources of some forces.
But they don't deliberately hunt in large quantities, and they don't look down on medium-level or even low-level beasts at all.
There are also some fragmentary hunters, as well as some ordinary warriors to catch and sell.
Thinking of this, Tang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he had some thoughts:
First organize people to go out of the city to catch the beast, and if you can catch as much as you can, anyway, he is not afraid that he will not be able to catch it.
As soon as Xiao Xuan made a move, the low-level beasts didn't dare to run at all, and the middle and high-level beasts didn't dare to run and couldn't run away, so they basically caught as many as they encountered.
As for the shops in the city, the tax should be increased by 10%, and the people should be raised by half, so that although they have complaints, they should not be able to do anything.
Some of the land sold was secretly repossessed at a low price, and later more people sold it at a high price.
As for whether there will be anyone in the future, he is not worried, the surrounding cities will definitely come over if they know about the black shop, and some of the unused resources in their hands will be sold.
With an idea, Tang Sheng immediately stood up, and was about to look at Tang Shengzhi next to him, but found that he had already left.
Then he motioned to the doorman to call the chief guard, and when Tang Shengzhi stepped forward, he ordered him:
Tang Shengzhi, the chief of the guard, received the order and secretly found someone to buy the shops and land that were being sold in the town. As long as we sell, we will collect it, including the stores of the two major forces, and sell the same type of resources as the black stores. ”
"It's all done quietly, trying not to be obscure. ”
