"Oh! Does Yuan Hao know how much money is needed for this city planning? ”

"If it is planned and rebuilt like this, it will cost ......" Tian Feng really didn't dare to say any more, just the time, I am afraid that it will not be completed in two or three years, and the manpower and material resources are even more astronomical, and the money required is more.

"Yuan Hao, just said that everything under the rule is built according to this, but it is unrealistic, this is just for the future, now Xuansu is sparsely populated, the land is vast, now to build this city, the people, the scholars need not much money to arrange, tens of thousands of people we can raise, if ten years later? But now, only this one city is built, is the treasury enough? Zhang Zhen didn't say that ten years later, the Central Plains was in the middle of the war, and Xuansu County was spread by merchants in the future, and he was afraid that it would usher in a population explosion, and then he planned the city, and the consumption would increase at least tenfold.

Tian Feng said confidently: "My lord, don't worry, if it's only this city, it's easy." The payment in recent months is enough! ”

"That's good, when the construction of various places is completed, all the craftsmen and people will be sent to Xuansu to build the city."

"The Lord is wise. In this way, it will not waste money and money, but also solve the pressure of the people's life, and if it is a partition management, presumably the scholars will also agree, they have always looked down on the people, shame and cohabitation, if they can hear that they can be separated from the people, they will gladly accept it. ”

"Humph! I didn't take into account their wishes, I just want everyone to live a good life and live and work in peace and contentment, and that's enough. Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, but it is not up to a few of his scholars to have the final say. Yuan Hao, can the land acquisition of the Shi clan go smoothly? ”

"My lord, most of the land of Xuansu is in the hands of the scholars, and in recent months, the scholars who have colluded with other races have obtained a lot of land. In view of the prestige of the lord, and now under the rule of the lord, the number of people who can farm for them has been greatly reduced, and they are willing to rent the land in the hands of the lord, and a large amount of their land is uncultivated, and many scholars are also forced to sell the land. ”

"Yuan Hao, according to my order, you will go all out to acquire the land in the hands of the family, according to the head, and sublease it to the people, and you will be fully responsible for this matter! Another blacksmith made every effort to build agricultural things, and rented them to the people at the lowest price. As I have seen recently, the people are in great difficulty, and many of them have no farm tools. Another person buys ploughing cattle, and at the same time rents them to the people to help them produce, now the spring ploughing is imminent, it should be dealt with in time, and there are 100,000 stone sweet potatoes to implement can not be stopped, looking forward to the autumn harvest, the people do not have to starve. ”

"The people of Fengdai have thanked the lord, the lord is really a merciful king!" Tian Feng's eyes were slightly red, and he was so moved that it was really the most correct decision in his life to follow the lord. "However, the lord has exempted the people from taxes for these three years, but all kinds of expenses are like this? The business of the restaurant is indeed not enough for the lord to consume like this. ”

"Hehe, Yuanhao is not in a hurry, he can be exempted from taxes, and he has his own place to get money," Zhang Zhen said confidently.

"Lord, you can have a clever plan!" Tian Feng asked eagerly.

"Before the expedition to Sanhan, I took my letter to the Zhen family in Jizhou with Lingguo, and I guess it will not disappoint me. In addition, the expansion of the winery, Caihou paper has also increased production, and there is shipping, which can reach Luoyang, Chang'an, Jizhou and other places through the river, and can go to Jianye, Xiangyang, Chengdu and other places by river, I believe that Uncle Zhen will not refuse. ”

"Hmmm! Lord, you are tying up the Zhen family on our ship, don't they care? Tian Feng asked suspiciously.

"Yuan Hao doesn't know, businessmen, no profit can not be early, you must know that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Moreover, in the future, there will only be more and more merchants, and the volume of transactions will gradually increase, and merchants from all over the world will flock to it. And the waterway is convenient and fast, and the risk is much smaller than that of the land route. ”

Tian Feng listened to it with relish and admired it from the bottom of his heart, the lord is also so proficient in the way of doing business! In vain, he thinks he is well-read, but he is not as good as the lord, just in case, listening to the words of the king is better than reading ten years of books!

"Oh! By the way, after Yuanhao, the merchant tax was also changed. ”

"Lord, by all means, if the merchant tax is not collected, he will definitely lose a lot of money, and there will be a financial crisis!"

"No, Yuanhao, I'm just improving, the original tax, whether you have a transaction or not, as long as you bring goods into the city, you have to pay taxes, and taxes are collected according to the price of your goods, which is also a common way to collect taxes in the city today. But later, under my rule, if there is no trade in the city, then there is no need to pay taxes, and only when the transaction is successful, the tax on the sale of goods is collected. I believe that the tax will definitely be doubled in the future. ”

"Oh! I see. Tian Feng suddenly realized and continued: "Then the merchant will not have to worry about the situation that the goods are not sold and will lose money. ”

In just one month.

Merchants from all over the world informed their relatives and friends through their own channels. Immediately, more and more people knew about it, and all the businessmen who got the news rushed to Lelang and Belt Fang, and the economic development of the two cities rose rapidly for a while.

The main reason is that the two places are close to the sea, coupled with the completion of the ship port, and the population of nearly 400,000 consumption is not small, so the two places have almost become the commercial center of the entire Liaodong region, and no matter what goods can be bought in it.

A large number of merchants came. It has greatly stimulated business and consumption in both places. Some discerning merchants came to Taishoufu and asked to set up shops in both places.

Zhang Zhen believes that in the near future, the land of Samhan will also be driven by the convenience of shipping.

Tian Feng is very happy these days, he really has the feeling of counting money and cramping his hands, and the tax is really as the lord said, not only has it not fallen, but it has increased several times compared to the past! I am even more impressed in my heart, and the Lord is a true god and man!

......

Taishou Mansion Study.

Zhang Zhenzheng was sitting at the desk, full of thoughts.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: Those who know each other and know themselves will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; If you don't know who you are, you will die in every battle. Now that development is proceeding slowly, it is time to start building an intelligence network.

Zhang Zhen knows the importance of intelligence to warfare, and if he does not know the intelligence of various places, he is like a blind man.

There happened to be more than a dozen maids, and Zhang Zhen planned to secretly train one eye to monitor the eyes of the world.

Training them to become spies is not an easy task.

First, the work of spying is not only to spy on intelligence, but also to reconnoiter the current political environment and monitor officials who have rebelled. In addition, spies lurking in enemy camps also take on the work of spreading rumors and plotting rebellion, such as setting fires in enemy backyards and plotting against important generals and strategists.

Second, makeup lurking, as a spy, the most basic skill is makeup lurking. Spies need to master the ability to fake identities, change habits, and infiltrate hostile factions. In the Three Kingdoms, there is no Mandarin, and the accents of the north and the south are very different, and if the spy is not good at mastering the language accent, it is easy to reveal his identity, so makeup and lurking are very important basic skills.

Third, the purpose of the existence of espionage is to spy on intelligence, whether it is political intelligence or military intelligence, it is particularly important. The main job of a spy is to change his identity and infiltrate the enemy camp to obtain important military and political information.

Fourth, special skills, weapons used by spies: listening urns, eavesdropping; Alum book, esoteric writing, used to write secret letters; Yin Symbol, which is a cryptography used to prove the identity of the spy; The paper kite is a correspondence book; Copying, on the other hand, is a forgery technique used to forge documents such as customs clearance documents.

Zhang Zhen believes that in ten years, it will be possible to complete the intelligence network covering the thirteen states of Dahan.
