Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, Taxation Division.

After Liu Bang's preparation these days, the tax department has been sorted out, and Li Chen has also transferred some small officials from the household department to help Liu Bang do things. This tax department is doing a good job, but the police department across the wall has not yet been found.

Li Chen sat on the main seat of the tax department, with Xiao He on the left and Liu Bang on the right. Chen Ping didn't come over today, and he also had a lot of things to do on weekdays.

"Kick, kick, kick."

There was a sound of footsteps, and I saw a middle-aged man in a military uniform walking in, this person was not a bystander, it was Xiao He's good friend Cao Shen.

Cao Shen has a bit of martial arts and a bit of strategy, since joining Li Chen's camp, Cao Shen was arranged by Li Chen to serve as a middle-level officer in the Shenwu Army.

"Master Hou, what are your orders for calling me here?"

Cao Shen saluted Li Chen, and then asked in a low tone.

"Cao Shen, there is still a lack of a police director in the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, I intend to let you serve as it, what do you think."

Li Chen, the director of the Police Division, originally wanted Zhao Que to serve as the director, after all, Zhao Que was able to be the chief of the Daqin Police for a while, and Li Chen really didn't know who to choose. But no matter what Li Chen said, Zhao Que just didn't agree. In his words, now he is a person who is also in the two departments of the Black Ice Platform and the Hanging Mirror Division, and he has to supervise both hundreds of officials and civilians on weekdays, and there is no clue about the disappearance of the bronze mine this year ago. If you are getting him a position, you have to exhaust him to death. Moreover, not to mention the hard work during the day, Zhao Que had to work overtime to plow the land and drive piles when he returned home at night. You must know that this woman is thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger, Ying Shu is now at the age of a wolf like a tiger, there are only tired cattle in this world who have not cultivated the land, and Zhao Que, a spiritual guy, can't bear it.

As for Cao Shen, it was naturally recommended by Xiao He. Cao Shen is a warden in Pei County, and he also deals with cases in the government on weekdays, so he can be regarded as a professional counterpart.

Cao Shen naturally knew that the director of the Police Department of the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone was a big official, and his future in the army was far broader than his own in the army. Moreover, Cao Shen also prefers to engage in his old profession compared to the military. Thinking of this, Cao Shen immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for your trust, Cao Shen can't repay him." ”

You must know that there are many great gods in the Shenwu army, and Cao Shen is not sure that he will stand out in the army. But now this police chief can be said to be Cao Shen's old business, and he is absolutely sure that he will do this matter well. You must know that Li Chen's focus is now in this Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, once he can control the affairs here, it will really enter Li Chen's eyes, and it can really be said that he has ascended to the sky in one step and become the core figure of Li Chen's group.

Speaking of which, the current power center of Shimenshan is all from the Peixian Group, but Li Chen is not very worried. These people are rootless duckweed in Xianyang, and everything they have is given by Li Chen. Whoever Li Chen praises, who can soar into the sky.

"Next door is the office of the Police Division, you can go and clean up later, and I will send you some people to come over tomorrow." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you Hou Ye for promoting, Cao Shen will definitely be the head of Hou Ye, and he will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire." Cao Shen knelt on one knee and cursed and swore an oath.

"You know what you can do, and your talent is drowned out in the army. There is no need to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, do your own thing well, and don't let Benhou down. Li Chen said and helped Cao Shen up.

"Master Hou, the warehouse of the factory is already full of goods, and this first free trade fair can almost be held?" After Liu Bang and Cao Shen left, Xiao He reminded in Li Chen's ear.

The factory has been settled in Shimenshan Economic Development Zone for a period of time, and these days it is also the raw materials of the whole vehicle to the plant. Naturally, a lot of goods were produced in the factory, but Li Chen was waiting, and after the factory produced enough goods, this trade could be carried out. Because this is the first free trade fair since the establishment of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, to put it bluntly, everyone does not know, this first trade fair must be paid with one hand and delivered with the other.

Li Chen knew that some businessmen might not be able to wait. After all, some of them spent a lot of money to buy a shop, and some people spent a lot of money to invest in the factory, they invested so much money in the early stage, and now they naturally want to look forward to the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone to open the market as soon as possible, so that they can see the return money.

"Are the rules of commerce and trade in place?" Li Chen turned his head and asked Li Chen.

"It has been worked out, and the general direction is that both parties to the transaction, the goods and the silver need to be inspected by the tax department before they can enter the market, and the buyer and seller pay their own taxes. The free trade market is open three times a month for only three days at a time. Xiao He said slowly.

The inspection of goods and money by the Department of Inland Revenue is carried out to prevent any commercial fraud, and the trade market is only open three times a month for three days at a time. In other words, the free trade market is only open for nine days a month, and if you can't sell your goods, you can only put them in the shop for consignment, or take them out and wait for the next trade market to open. In this way, it not only ensures the interests of the merchants who buy shops, but also takes care of the interests of those merchants who did not buy shops because of the more monks and less porridge.

"Then tentatively open in seven days, right?" Li Chen nodded and said.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Seven days later, under the sound of several gun salutes, the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone opened for the first time.

Just now at the gate of today's free trade zone, I saw that it was crowded with people and noisy. The free trade zone is divided into a warehouse area, a warehouse area where these merchants can park their wagons and goods, and a trade area where merchants are looking for buyers with samples.

"Mineral salt, the best mineral salt." This is a salt merchant from Bashu, but since Li Chen's sea salt factory was established, the sound of this salt has become more and more difficult to do. However, fortunately, this mineral salt does not have the fishy and astringent smell of sea salt, and the mineral salt that has been deposited still has business in the high-end market.

"Mineral salt, what price." A Hu merchant asked in a loud voice. This man looked very rude, and at first glance he was a people on the grassland.

"No, it's expensive. In this way, if you drop three percent, we will make a deal. As soon as the salt merchant of Bashu finished muttering in Hu Shang's ear, Hu Shang vetoed it. The salt merchant in Bashu also raised some prices, but obviously this Hu merchant is not easy to fool.

"Okay, deal." The salt merchant in Bashu slapped his thigh and said pretending to be distressed.

Seeing that the salt merchants in Bashu agreed, Hu Shang was a little confused. Although the price has been lowered, I always feel that something is wrong.

This ginger is still old and spicy, doing business in Daqin, not afraid of grinding your mouth, what you are most afraid of is that you shouted a self-righteous low price, but the boss agreed. Obviously, this self-righteous grassland Hu Shang still needs to take a few lessons in Daqin and pay some tuition.
