Chapter 614: Solving Difficulties
Chen Xu was slightly silent.
Feng Quji's question was not untargeted, but a manifestation of wanting to get closer to Chen Xu.
As the right minister of the current dynasty, he controls the six ministries and almost the country's government affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the power leans towards the government and the opposition, but this position is not too stable, in the structure of the three provinces and six ministries, the three provinces are in a state of mutual supervision, the biggest boss is the emperor, and it is the existence of a word, everyone can only do things for the emperor carefully, and the status may be unstable at any time.
And Chen Xu and Meng Yi have a very close relationship, the two not only have close contacts, but also will soon become Weng's son-in-law, and the interests of the two families will be tied together, which means that Meng Yi will definitely fully support Chen Xu in the future, which can be seen from the matter of bringing down Zhao Gao, Meng Yi and Chen Xu have already formed a huge force that can influence the emperor.
Coupled with Chen Xu's identity and the emperor's weight, Chen Xu's status can be said to be untouchable, even if the emperor changes, he will still be transcendent, and there will not be too many changes.
To be an enemy of Chen Xu is to be an enemy of the world's scholars, and even to be an enemy of the world's businessmen.
And most importantly...... may also be the enemy of the immortals, and the thought of offending the immortals, Feng Quji couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Feng Qujian wants to make his position more stable, and getting close to Chen Xu is the safest strategy.
Therefore, Feng Quji's question about Chen Xu's very private question is to show his goodwill, if Chen Xu is willing to tell him, then it means that Chen Xu will accept him, and finally form a situation where the three giants wear the same pants, and only Li Si is isolated, and Feng Quji's identity can never have a leg with Li Si, it is the inevitable opposite, which is also what the emperor wants to see, and all the ministers had a bad relationship.
"Since Feng Xiang asked, Xu didn't want to hide it, I once dreamed of Taiyi Xianzun outside the body, Xianzun gave me three heavenly books, one is Qi Min's technique, one is Tiangong Kaiwu, one is Kyushu Yizhi, these three heavenly books are different, Xu's piles and piles are all from the three volumes of heavenly books, not Xu's imagination, refining steel and cement, building farm tools, brewing fine wine, making food and divine thunder fireworks are all from it, otherwise how can Xu a mountain boy know so many incredible affairs, Taiyi Xianzun once said, If you can make use of one of the contents of the three volumes of the Book of Heaven, the world will inevitably become a prosperous country with abundant people, and Your Majesty will sweep the six countries after it is the best time. ”
"Three Heavenly Books...... Qinghe Hou is really a disciple of the Immortal Family! Feng Qu tugged at his beard in a daze.
"Xu only told His Majesty about this matter, the heavenly secret must not be revealed, and please keep it secret!" Chen Xu said lightly.
"Qinghe Hou rest assured, the old man will never reveal a word!" After Feng Qu came back to his senses, he nodded with a serious face.
"I just talked about the operation of the bus company, since Feng Xiang can help, it will be solved, and Xu has a second problem to discuss with Feng Xiang today!"
"It doesn't hurt for Qinghe Hou to be blunt, the old man will never shirk if he can help!" Knowing Chen Xu's secret, Feng Qujian felt much more relaxed in his heart.
"Hehe, it's not to help, but I just want to ask Feng Xiangxiang if he wants to get rich?"
"Rich?"
"Well, get rich, get rich together!" Chen Xu nodded.
"Where can I get rich?" Feng Quji's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Chen Xu said that if he gets rich, he will naturally really get rich, this is the consensus of Xianyang people, Feng Qujian was quite excited and apprehensive in his heart.
Behind every big family has a bitter head of the family, to raise a large group of people who eat, drink and Lazar, in and out of the carriage and horse slaves in front and back to hug seems to be extremely prominent, but the so-called good food costs food, good women Fei Han, good pomp and circumstance will inevitably cost money, a huge prime minister begins to spend money every day as soon as his eyes open, and the money flows out as soon as the carriage and horse move.
Feng Quji has land and real estate, food and fiefdom, the population of the house is only a lot more than Chen Xu, but the family is big but not as good as Chen Xu can make money, although he can support a large family by relying on food and fiefdom alone, but like Meng Yi, behind the luxury is full of bitter feelings, opening his mouth to eat and asking for money too much.
Lack of money is the norm for all princes and princesses.
There are many times when the landlord's family has no surplus food.
"If the bus company planned by Xu starts to operate, although the investment and expenses are huge, but the money is still very fast, the preliminary estimate is about nearly three million a year, and the annual net income after removing various expenses is still more than one million, Feng Xiang is not interested in investing and operating together?"
Feng Quji's face instantly looked like a bitter gourd, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This plan estimates that the investment is more than four million, although the old man has a big family, but compared with the Marquis of Qinghe, it is too far behind, and there are only two or three hundred thousand yuan in the treasury at the moment, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, I am afraid that I can't share much money in a year, how can I get rich?" ”
"Hehe, why should Feng Xiang be arrogant, as long as you can make the Inner History Mansion loosen the tax policy a little, this tax can be regarded as Feng Xiang's investment!"
"This ......," Feng Qujian tugged at his beard in a very tangled way.
"Feng Xiang rest assured, it's not that you use your power to embezzle taxes for personal gain, it's just that this bus company has the nature of public welfare, and it doesn't take profit as the main purpose, just like building roads, you can't let businessmen only help build roads without giving benefits, Feng Xiangke has read the "Theory of Domestic Demand" published in the newspaper?"
"The old man will carefully read every issue of the newspaper, and he has naturally read the theory of domestic demand, which is very reasonable!" Feng Qujian nodded.
"As long as Feng Xiang agrees with the theory of domestic demand, in fact, the reason why my Daqin is not prosperous enough is that one is because the harsh law suppresses the merchants and craftsmen, and the taxes are very high, and the other is that the court uses a lot of money and grain to build roads, build the emperor's mausoleum and provide for the soldiers, and there is not enough money to promote the economic development of Daqin. Transportation and many other obvious benefits, together with the reflow and distribution of millions or even tens of millions of funds, this is the most typical model of domestic demand to drive economic development, which will benefit the population will reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and these money will be from the dead money in the hands of businessmen to the living money that the people need, will further stimulate more commercial transactions, and this money is not without paying taxes, but will create a fishing net-like tax linkage effect, timber merchants have to pay taxes, car mills have to pay taxes, and horses have to pay taxes. These taxes were all brought by the establishment of the bus company, so it seems that even if the bus company does not pay taxes, it still brings a large amount of tax revenue to the Inner History Office in the end......"
"Yes, yes, Qinghe Hou is reasonable, there is investment and there is tax, if there is no investment there will be nothing, it seems that the old man is still not thoughtful enough, Qinghe Hou rest assured, the bus company tax reduction and exemption is on the old man!" Feng Qujian instantly connected theory with practice and figured out the benefits brought by the theory of domestic demand.
"Haha, okay, as long as Feng Xiang helps, the bus company will definitely put it into operation as soon as possible, and this bus company will give Feng Xiang Yicheng's dividends as a reward!" Chen Xu smiled happily and bowed his hand.
"That...... Isn't it too much......" Feng Quji's heart was pounding, and a bonus was at least more than 100,000 yuan, which was more than his official rank in a year, which would greatly ease the financial pressure on his family.
"No more, no more, Feng Xiang is hardworking, this dividend deserves it!" Chen Xu waved his hand.
"That'...... The old man was disrespectful! "For people in this era, there is no talk of collusion between officials and businessmen, and Feng Quji definitely doesn't think that there is anything wrong with taking money, but he feels a little embarrassed that he has more than 100,000 yuan in vain with just a few words.
At the end of the unitary hour, Chen Xu came out of Feng Quji's mansion with a slight drunkenness, his face was full of ease and happiness.
Last time, in order to win over Meng Yi, he cooperated with him to operate porcelain, and now the porcelain factory has been on the right track, a large number of porcelain began to go on the market, I heard that it is sold quite hot in the southeast counties, and the price is not expensive, just like the wine of Fan's winery, it is a low-level route, a dish is only a few dozen dollars, and ordinary wealthy families with an annual income of thousands can also consume it.
And using the bus company to win over Feng Quji, although the income is far less than that of the porcelain factory, but this is more than 100,000 yuan of income every year, which is enough to express Chen Xu's goodwill, after all, the relationship between the two has not reached a higher level, and there are still many things that can be cooperated in the future, as long as Feng Quji is willing, a stable interest relationship will be formed slowly, and he will inevitably support him more in the court, which is very important for Chen Xu's future reform.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and officials who are not greedy for money are bound to be greedy for power, and greed for power is the biggest threat to an empire, such as people like Li Si.
According to historical records, it was because Li Si was too greedy for power and was afraid that he would lose his status after Fusu came to power, so he supported Hu Hai to ascend the throne and become emperor under Zhao Gao's prodding, which sowed evil consequences, not only brought down Daqin, but also made a funeral for all three clans of his family.
"Husband is so happy, he must have found a good way to solve the difficulty!"
The water that was waiting at the gate of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion looked at Chen Xu, who was sitting in the carriage humming a little song with a drunken face, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"The lady is really wise, go out, this matter has been perfectly solved, and the bus company I planned will be able to start preparations in a few days!" Chen Xu hugged the water and walked towards the inner courtyard with his soft waist in his arms.
"There is nothing in the world that can stump the husband, you are careful of your steps, warm water and clothes have been prepared in the room, gently serve you to wash first......"
"Okay, the lady is really careful, but the same bath is the best ......"
The two of them walked into the bedroom of the inner courtyard as they spoke, and soon there was the sound of Suo Suo slatting and undressing, and after a while a slight gasping sound came out, and the candlelight flickered in the room, and the two silhouettes fell on the window and gradually merged together, and the sound of joy spread far away in the early autumn night.
The two little maids, Chunxiang and Qiuxiang, stood in the corridor outside the courtyard, listening to the voices coming from the room, their cheeks flushed with shame.
"Master Hou and Mrs. are so affectionate!"
"Yes, I don't know when Master Hou will be able to spoil us!"
"I'm afraid it won't work, the last time I heard my wife ask, Master Hou said that when we grow up to fifteen years old, we will arrange to marry!"
"Ah, I'm not married, I want to follow Master Hou for the rest of my life!"
"Me too, even if the Hou Ye doesn't favor me, I will serve the Hou Ye for a lifetime, every time I bring tea and water to the Hou Ye, fan and dress, it is my happiest time!"
"Me too, every time I see Hou Ye smiling, I feel out of breath, and I am happiest to follow Hou Ye......"
