The next day, I took Li and the maids to the new home, and all the furniture in the house was gone, and it was an eyesore to put it there, and all the brains were thrown away.

This side was in full swing, and Xiao'er, who stayed in the original side courtyard, rushed over and told Li Chengyang that Ma Zhou had arrived.

wiped his hands, and took care of it a little, even if he tidied up his appearance, the root of this training fell on the disease, and now he can't change it if he wants to.

As soon as I went out, I saw a big black face, and after a closer look, I found that this was the first hardcore doorman Ma Zhou.

"Oh yes, why did you get like this, did someone bully you, I haven't seen you for a month, you have caught up with Uncle Chi" Li Chengyang stepped forward and took Ma Zhou's hand and asked, ignoring the dirt on Ma Zhou's hands.

Ma Zhou hurriedly withdrew his hand and explained.

It turns out that this person hasn't had a good rest these days, running around in Guannei Road, and the large sum of money from the Ice Control Division has been handed over, at least half of Ma Zhou's credit, and sleeping in the open for days has made this white and tender scholar what he is now.

I don't have to say, good wine and good food are ready, Ma Zhou has been on the road in the field these days, and the news of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne has not been received at all, or Li Chengyang's letter was received when he arrived at the county office yesterday, only to find out that he had missed such an important day.

It wasn't until this morning that I rushed back from outside, and I went to congratulate Li Shimin first, and then I came to greet Li Chengyang, and I was ready to rush back after a while.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back, just rest for a few days when you come, and then go back when your body is almost complete, aren't the shelves all set up now, and now there is no shortage of you to guide you all the time, go, follow me back to the side courtyard, I will let Xiao'er make something to eat for you" Hurriedly stopped, Li Chengyang still has a lot of things to ask Ma Zhou, and the letter is always a little unclear.

The two returned to the side courtyard and sat opposite each other, Ma Zhou was the first to speak: "Your Highness, the algorithm you made is really powerful, the reason why the Ice Control Division can expand faster than expected, Your Highness's algorithm has played a vital role, if it was in the past, it would have wasted half a month just to settle accounts, and this time I came to hear that His Highness has come out with a more profound algorithm, and I came here to ask for it with a thick face."

Needless to say, the superior performance of Lee's algorithm is also the crystallization of human wisdom for many years.

Went back to the study and threw the new junior high school algorithm to Ma Zhou: "No matter how good the algorithm is, it depends on who uses it, so far you are the most satisfying one for me, and I will publish a more esoteric one in the future, and I will send it to you directly when the time comes, and you will still run back and forth in the province."

"Your Highness can't, this kind of knowledge can't be entrusted to others, if it spreads, won't Your Highness's knowledge be stolen" Ma Zhou shook his head again and again, anxiously refusing.

"You, one by one, say how profound your knowledge is, hold it in your arms and don't let go, you can't wait to bring it into the coffin, I'm fine, I don't need to use this thing to win any reputation, it will be passed out, and no one in the world can read that book yet."

It's high school math, and it's a headache to think about the dense formulas, and people who don't have a foundation want to understand it? Wish for the moon.

Ma Zhou thought too, some great Confucian families or something, when they encounter an ancient book, they are not even allowed to look at their wives and sons, and they will be buried with ancient books after a hundred years, Li Chengyang really doesn't have to learn like them, his identity is the prince, and it is a good thing that such a book spreads out.

After talking about arithmetic, it is natural to talk about the benefits.

At this time, Ma Zhou began to stand up.

Li Chengyang was very curious when he saw this, the total income of the Ice Control Division last month was more than 100,000 yuan, of which ice cream and fans accounted for the absolute majority, and most of the income from the sale of ice was continued to be invested in the Ice Control Division to other counties.

Fortunately, Ma Zhou is not a grinding person, and slowly told the truth.

Li Shimin's eyes were red when he saw the income of the Ice Control Division, and he could earn so much from the shelves that had just been erected in a month, which he didn't expect, and he would definitely not want to put such a large amount of money in the Ministry of Industry, but at the beginning of the court meeting, he said that the Ice Control Division acted cheaply, and now he is asking for money, isn't it that he, the emperor, is going back on his word.

Compared to the profits, reputation is the most important, but looking at the silver in front of him is really greedy, thinking about it, Li Shimin came up with a brilliant idea.

Tax! And it is still a heavy tax, and the ice of the Ice Control Division must be strongly supported, and there are so many people to raise, this one will be tax-free, but there is no such problem with ice cream and fans, and the matter of competing with the people for profit should naturally be taxed heavily.

Li Chengyang was not much surprised to hear this, he was prepared when he saw the first income, and even had a plan to hand over the two items, no way, it is useless to put so much silver in the treasury of the Ministry of Industry, it can spend 10,000 taels a month, and the rest of the money cannot be moved when it is put into the warehouse, so it is better to put it to the household department to do some practical things.

"What's the matter, how many taxes can make you so anxious, didn't you receive the letter you went to a few days ago, even if those two items are handed over, it's not a big deal, why does the Ministry of Industry want so much money" Li Chengyang had already greeted Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou should also be prepared, is it possible that Li Shimin can still bring taxes to the point where the Ministry of Industry loses money? No way, he's not that stupid.

Ma Zhou scratched his head fiercely, bringing up a piece of dandruff: "Your Highness, the tax set by Your Majesty is two taxes and one tax."

Raised his eyebrows, the two taxes and one will not make Ma Zhou annoyed like this, there is almost no business, these two taxes and one can also leave tens of thousands of taels, why does it still give Ma Zhou such a headache, you look at this dandruff flying in the sky, let him take a bath and leave, I don't know how long I haven't washed it, it's all rancid.

Ma Zhou bared his teeth with difficulty: "Your Highness, it's not much, it's too little, there is no way to explain it."

Then Ma Zhou began to explain that Datang's taxes are collected according to raw materials, and there is no luxury tax at all, what are the raw materials of the fan? It is the leftovers used by the Ministry of Industry, what are the raw materials of ice cream? Ice, a penny is enough for a family to put a day's ice, and some local fruit juice, a piece of ice, a basket of a few pennies of fruit, you just charge ten times the tax to sell an ice cream and come out, and a fan can't make a penny for a hundred.

smiled unkindly, I didn't expect that the famous monarch of the ages could still do such a thing, no wonder Ma Zhou scratched his head, and now Li Chengyang also wants to scratch his head, and he wants to send the money up, but he can't even receive a fur after a meal, and I don't know how Li Shimin came up with it.

"Is this what my father just told you?"

"Well, that's what Your Majesty ordered when I congratulated you just now."

I can think of Li Shimin's triumphant expression at this time, and it took me a while to think of such a brilliant idea of collecting taxes, I am afraid that I will not be happy.

Don't mention what Li Shimin laughed like, Li Chengyang began to hold his stomach with laughter at this time.

"Don't worry about this matter, I'll talk to Wu Li when I go back, you just take care of the Ice Control Division, don't worry about anything else" Ma Zhou was worried about this matter because his status was not enough, he was a small official in the Ministry of Industry, if it wasn't for Li Chengyang, no one in the Ministry of Industry would listen to him.

But when it comes to Li Chengyang, it's different, Wu Li now treats him as a living god of wealth, and what he says is more effective than Wu Li in the Ministry of Industry, as long as he gives a simple order, he doesn't need a headache.

By the way, you have to remember to hurry up, otherwise Li Shimin reacted that he had made such a big joke, and he didn't know if he would be angry and withdraw the Ice Division.

Then I carefully asked about the expansion of the Ice Division, and I was very satisfied with the news.

Under the leadership of the boss, the people in Luoyang resolutely completed Li Chengyang's instructions, and when they arrived at a place, they resolutely stepped on the threshold of the local county government, and went in and out several times a day.

In the face of the local wealthy families, don't say a word when you arrive at one place, the top fan, the same model used by the national public will be presented first, and you will inquire about what the people who are in charge of each family like, and go to visit people with big bags and small bags.

Put on a table of top seats, and the foundation of the Ice Control Division is almost exposed, which is a branch of the Ministry of Industry, a dignified state department, and behind him stands His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the most favored at the moment.

Applying both soft and hard, and there was no conflict with the local industry, it became the biggest local hit within a short time after arriving in a place, and the business was naturally more and more prosperous.

Li Chengyang of Luoyang's ability in this area has no doubts, he will also do these methods, they were all practiced when he was a beggar, inquiring about other people's gossip This is the foundation, flattery is the norm, and someone on the road gives a steamed bun or something to kneel down and send blessings to you, just flattery, a trivial matter.

The life of a beggar has brought this group of people extremely rich experience in observing words and feelings, but there is a huge problem in this group of people, which is why Li Chengyang put Ma Zhou on top of the heads of the people in Luoyang.

People from poor backgrounds naturally don't have a sense of the overall situation, and they have been worrying about the next meal for so many years, so they have been painstakingly studying this kind of craft, but what kind of overall situation to tell them is that they don't know what to ask and do.

People who have a good view of the overall situation can still be mixed up with the miserable situation at the beginning?

At present, the people of Luoyang can only be in charge of one county, and it is beyond their ability to let them be in charge of two counties, how to reconcile the relationship between the two counties, how to achieve the right and left, like a fish in water, this matter still needs to be played by Ma Zhou, a well-educated person.

At present, dozens of homeless people or beggars have been collected in various counties, and twenty-three Luoyang people have also completed the differentiation, and the scope of the Ice Control Division is about 100 counties, and there are more than 10,000 people in total, far beyond Li Chengyang's expectations, the original plan is that even the whole Tang Dynasty only needs 20,000 people.

Ma Zhou explained the reason in detail, the distance between the townships and counties in Datang is too far, and the farmers cannot be expected to walk an hour every day to buy ice, after thinking, Ma Zhou decided to set up branches in each township, and the local Luoyang people often go to inspect to ensure that there are no problems, which is why so many people have been gathered.

Looking at Ma Zhou, who was guilty of his own assertions, Li Chengyang helped him up, and showed a rare serious look: "You did a good job, the appearance of the Ice Control Division is to solve the problems of farmers, I didn't think carefully at all, no wonder you, why did I set the price in the first place, it was not for the farmers to afford it, and you will do this again in the future, I thank you for coming not only ".

Ma Zhou was grateful when he said this, and his tears drew white marks on his black face.

waved his hand in disgust: "Okay, hurry up and take a bath, Xiao'er's meal is almost ready, after washing, have a good meal, rest and rest to talk about other things."
