Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Widow
The first five-year plan of the Great Song Dynasty was thus determined, and Zhao Zhen and others could not find a place to build factories in the city of Tokyo, and the land in the city had basically been developed, and the per capita area of Tokyo City, which has a population of one million, was very small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The land price is too high to build a factory in the city, and the little fat man made a lot of money with ice cream this summer. Wang Yuyan took out half of the funds from Biyaxuan and invested in the construction of the factory, there is no shortage of money, but there is less space, but it is also easy to do, just buy a farm outside Tokyo.
In this era, there is no distinction between agricultural land and industrial land, as long as you pay your taxes on time, no one will trouble you, and there is no cumbersome running for a license. All the people were divided into four grades, and taxes were paid according to the different ranks.
The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty were the least discriminated against than other dynasties, and the business environment was the most relaxed. The founding of the Song Dynasty issued a series of "compassionate merchants" decrees to treat merchants leniently and encourage commerce. ”
Cheap grandfather Taizong even issued an edict: "From now on, except for the currency of business travel, its dealers and women are not allowed to collect it." "This exempts small transactions from taxation, which is rare in later generations.
Merchants are not only protected in terms of taxation, but also given them the right to freedom of personal and property, and it is strictly forbidden for officials to extort money and make things difficult for businessmen. Therefore, those who beg for money and goods are imprisoned for one year.
Compared with the situation that the small traders in later generations were driven by the city management to run all over the streets basically did not exist in the Great Song Dynasty, this is nothing, the most surprising thing to Zhao Zhen and others is that the ban on the industrial and commercial family must not be pre-emptively broken through, the country opened the door of tribute, and widely collected the road such as industry and commerce, miscellaneous people, etc., there are geniuses, outstanding people, also allowed to be released, and the businessmen obtained the right to engage in politics.
You must know that it is impossible for businessmen in all dynasties and generations to engage in politics, a famous saying that a gentleman is a righteous man, and a villain is a good man makes a businessman and a villain equal, how can a villain enter the court to participate in political affairs?
In the extremely open later generations, civil servants were not allowed to engage in business, which shows the importance that the Great Song Dynasty attached to merchants.
Cai Boli was extremely happy, because he bought a manor outside Tokyo, covering an area of more than ten acres but did not have to pay a penny of agricultural tax, just because he did not grow grain on the ground!
Zhao Zhen looked at the contract in the little fat man's hand dumbfounded, this is too cheating!
The little fat man's commercial tax is only three percent, compared with the fifteenth tax of the Han Dynasty, it is too much less, and these lands will no longer produce food, you must know that in the feudal era, food is extremely important to a country, if Cai Boyu's factory is established, the tax is still like this, I am afraid that there will be a big incident, first of all, the reduction of grain, followed by the commercial tax is far lower than the agricultural tax, so who still farms, rich people have run to set up factories to do business!
"Should I propose to the court an increase in the commercial tax and the land loss tax?" Zhao Zhen touched his chin and said to Cai Boyu.
"Don't! Wait for me to develop it again, or my factory will collect heavy taxes and not let people live? ”
Zhao Zhen nodded awkwardly, this is also the truth, it is okay to issue an order after he is in power.
Let the factories of the Great Song Dynasty develop first, and when they make money, they will start to raise the commercial tax, huh? Is your behavior considered pig farming? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen turned his head and looked at the little fat man, well~ This kid is indeed getting fatter and fatter......
Zhao Zhen's eyes made Cai Boyu uncomfortable, how did he feel that he was beating his own idea?
"Don't you look at me like that, do you want to beat my idea? There are no doors either! My factory will be your help in the future, and you won't want to cut off your meridians, right? Looking at Zhao Zhen's ill-intentioned gaze, Cai Boyu instantly understood his thoughts.
Zhao Zhen smiled awkwardly: "Oh, today's weather is good!" Hurry up and get started! ”
"You know, I've already asked Xuelian's shopkeeper to do it, let's go and see it together in a few days?"
"Did you draw any factory drawings?"
"The painting is finished, and the shopkeeper looks at it and says it's no problem, it's just that it costs more wood money."
Zhao Zhen's worries were finally put down, he underestimated the construction techniques of ancient craftsmen, Cai Boyu's factory design was very large, and there were many instruments in it, mainly sewing machines and the like.
The old sewing machine was basically invisible in later generations, but the principle was very simple, just a large and small pulley set together. Cai Boyu and Zhao Miaoyuan took one day to figure it out, the reason why they were so quick was mainly because they had seen it before, it was not an invention made out of nothing, and there was a big difference between the two.
The next thing is to recruit workers, the two of them take it for granted that the garment factory should recruit female workers, but it is not easy for Da Song to recruit female workers, and he can only find older women, the little fat man immediately denied it after seeing it, joking, look at the buried appearance of these women, who dares to ask them to produce clothes?
Cai Boyu looked at Zhongdao: "Can you find something clean, young people, mainly the best who can endure hardships!" ”
"This guest officer, your requirements are too high, who will be a helper young lady?"
"If you don't have it, forget it, I can't spend this money if I want to!" The little fat man shook the money bag and said regretfully, this was the introduction fee for the Chinese.
Everyone gritted their teeth and nodded, "Yes!" How not? As long as the money of the petty officials is given, there must be! ”
"Oh? Then I'm going to take a look! ”
The man looked around and said, "Look at it, but don't say it, these are also poor people." ”
Zhao Zhen asked strangely: "What poor man, could it be that you kidnapped him?!" "The Great Song Dynasty strictly forbade the abduction of people, and as long as it was discovered, it would immediately be equipped with 50 rounds of canes and charge the army.
The Chinese man's face changed drastically and he shouted: "This little Yanai doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it's not the little lady who was abducted, it's a widow!" ”
"Widow?!" Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyu glanced at each other, at this time, the widows all came to the Great Song Dynasty to plant, how could they end up here?
Seeing that the two didn't believe it, the Chinese took the lead and walked to the backyard, this courtyard was very small, only two or three simple huts, and when they opened the hut, an unpleasant smell of sour rancid smell emanated from the dilapidated hut, which made Zhao Zhen and the two retreat again and again.
Zhongren smiled: "The taste is a little unpleasant, but they are all young ladies, and they are good when they are cleaned!" ”
A widow raised her head timidly, although there were stains on her face, it was difficult to hide her delicate appearance.
"These Japanese women can't live in the Japanese country anymore, so they want to make a living in our Great Song Dynasty, do some cleaning the courtyard and serve people, etc., but most of them don't want to ask for them after they know that they are Japanese women, and the price is already very low, how is the money per person?"
"Consistent money?!" Zhao Zhen shouted in surprise, these widows are different from ordinary helpers, as long as they give the same money, it is equivalent to selling to themselves, and they can do whatever they want in the future, as long as they have food and shelter, this is too cost-effective!
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was satisfied, the Chinese said obscenely: "If you can be taken a fancy to you, it will be her blessing!" "The people in contact with the Chinese come from three religions and nine streams, how can they not see that Zhao Zhen is the real leader.
The widow seemed to be able to understand the words of the Chinese people, there was no fear on her face, only a trace of shyness, and she secretly looked at Zhao Zhen.
Cai Boyu turned his head to Zhao Zhen and said, "What the hell?!" You're glamorous, if you have a crush on her...... Ha ha! As long as you want to, I won't tell Wang Yuyan! ”
Peng Qi looked at the sky the whole time and didn't say a word. This kid is smart......
"Check out and leave!" Zhao Zhen left helplessly, this kid was thinking about obscene things all day long.
