"Hey, have you heard? The Assassin's Mansion has just released the Industrial and Commercial Code. Let's take a look. In front of the newly opened Xu Ji Restaurant, Erhuzi and Boss Zhang, who was delivering goods with him, talked about the news they heard when they came just now.

Boss Zhang glanced at the brother next to him, and while eating the two pennies he had just bought in the morning, he said vaguely: "What's so good-looking, you don't do business, why do you look at that?" However, my lord said that after the promulgation of this industrial and commercial code, the yamen began to set up a special tax department or something, and their newly approved taxes were much less. Our lord gave us a wage increase a few days ago because of this. ”

"That is, your lord said that he would give you a wage increase, and you don't know how much less tax he paid. Let's just say that the previous city entry tax has now been abolished, and the tax boxes at the city gate are gone. I heard that those who transport goods only need to pay a tax once, and they can pass through several prefectures in Toyosu. Erhuzi heard the face of Boss Zhang beside him, and couldn't help laughing: "Our shopkeeper has recently started trading in Feng'an, and it took less than a day to pull the big carp from Fengzhou to the Yellow River, and the fish are alive when they arrive in Feng'an." ”

The two talked and laughed, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the industrial and commercial code published by Zhang Bang, listening to the yamen's errand explain the contents of the codex.

"Inspector, what are you made of this fabric, why haven't I seen it before?" Xu Xingxia in the Thorn History Mansion studied a few pieces of unknown cloth around him for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "It looks a bit like it's made of hair." ”

Yelu Yaqi on the side also studied it, and suddenly picked up the smallest but softest pure white cloth and smelled it, nodded thoughtfully: "There should be a smell of wool in it, it should be made of wool." ”

"Okay, you don't have to guess, this one is indeed made of wool, but you can figure out for yourself how to do it and what it can be used for." Li Xuanqing laughed and nodded: "Different wool can make fabrics with different textures. Goat hair is harder and can be used to make carpets, marching blankets, and more. Tan sheep and sheep wool can be used to make clothes and other clothing, and the finest and rarest cashmere cloth can be thought of without me saying more. ”

"The textile industry in Toyosu is very backward and scarce right now. The textile industry in Shannan Dongdao, where Xu Gongzi is located, is much more advanced than that of Fengzhou. So I hope that Xu Gongzi can organize some technicians to come to Fengzhou, and I will arrange for the Thorn Shifu to convert the technology into shares and cooperate with the Xu family to establish a textile workshop, how about mass production of this kind of cloth? Toyosu is located in the grassland, and there will be no shortage of wool. At that time, the raw materials can be entrusted to the head of the Yelu family to buy a large amount from the grassland. Li Xuanqing saw Xu Xingxia's thoughtful appearance, nodded and continued.

Xu Xingxia and Yelu Yaqi knew that this was Li Xuanqing's point, and hurriedly agreed, and heard Li Xuanqing continue: "Now that the new industrial and commercial code has been promulgated, there should be no doubt about the tax environment in Fengzhou. The Tiance Army is about to formulate a new type of military uniform, and the logistics department will entrust the Thorn Shifu to find a suitable textile workshop and garment shop, which is almost 100,000 sets of military uniforms, which is enough for the logistics department to be busy. After saying that, he ignored these two guys and walked straight out.

"Big brother." When Li Xuanqing was about to go to Cen Tian, Yu Wenli and He Wenjin were handed over to him, compared to Xu Xingxia, these two talents are the businessmen that Li Xuanqing needs the most at present. Just thinking about it, a clever voice suddenly came from behind me.

Li Xuanqing stretched out his hand to take the girl, and said with a smile as he walked: "This woolen sweater looks good to wear." "The clothes made from the original wool weaving are basically for this girl, and the texture is very good, from woolen sweaters and skirts in spring and autumn to cashmere skirts in winter.

"Soon, a large-scale textile workshop and garment workshop will be opened in Fengzhou, and you will be able to wear whatever you want." Seeing Li Xuanqing, who was blushing on Qiaoxi's face, laughed, and stopped teasing her, and came to Cen Tianshi's assassination office area.

"Lord, you're here." Cen Tianshi was talking and laughing with Yu Wenli and He Wenjin, when he saw Li Xuanqing walking in, he hurriedly saluted and asked, "How is the discussion over there?" ”

Li Xuanqing smiled: "It's almost, but I threw out the big burden of military uniforms." If Xu Xingxia refuses again, I can only say that he doesn't want money and rain in the sky, and I can't help it. After a pause, he changed the topic and said, "What do the two gentlemen think of Fengzhou?" ”

Yu Wenli was the same age as Cen Tianshi, so when he saw Li Xuanqing's question, he hurriedly replied: "Don't hide it from the inspector, the two of us are very satisfied with the industrial and commercial code implemented in Fengzhou, and plan to open a branch in Fengzhou and gradually transfer the industry." It's just—"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Li Xuanqing looked at Cen Tianshi on the side a little strangely, and asked, "Mr. Yuwen might as well say it if he has something to say." ”

"That's right, Brother He and I took over the production and sales of salt and the business of leather medicinal materials respectively. The method of drying salt by the inspector is very novel, and I plan to try it in Shandong. Zhu Xuan's rule in Shandong is quite stable, and as for the sales channel, my Yuwen family can still do it. We plan to gradually develop our original business in Toyoshu. It's just that after the implementation of the new tax law, Toyoshu's income plummeted, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to bear it when the time comes. Yu Wenli grinded for a long time, but still gritted his teeth and said the doubts in his heart.

Li Xuanqing and Cen Tianshi couldn't help laughing when they saw that Yu Wenli and He Wenjin, who didn't speak on the side, had the same looks, which made the two of them even more confused, but they didn't understand what was wrong with them.

"Shi Xuan (Yuwen Lizi), you can think so much to show that you are really thinking about Fengzhou, which made my old friend gain face in front of the lord." Finally, Cen Tianshi stopped laughing and said, "But you miscalculated an account, to be precise, no one in this world can understand this account except for the lord." I was like you before. Seeing that the two didn't understand, Cen Tianshi smiled at Li Xuanqing and said, "Why don't you explain it again." ”

"Fengzhou is located at the junction of the grassland and the Central Plains, is an important town in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and is also a transit station for goods from the Central Plains to enter the grassland, and it is also the first line for the grassland to enter the Han land. So it's an ideal hub for business development. Li Xuanqing did not answer this question directly, but instead analyzed the location and importance of Fengzhou.

Li Xuanqing took the teacup handed over by Qiao Xi and said with a smile: "After the promulgation of the Fengzhou Industrial and Commercial Code, it can provide the most convenient environment and the most preferential tax space for businessmen, and it will naturally be able to attract more businessmen to come to trade." If the base is large, the amount will be large. It's like if you take the water in the teacup in front of you, you may take a sip of three, but after the promulgation of the industrial and commercial code, Fengzhou is not a teacup, but a teapot or a water tank, one percent of the teapot or one percent of the water tank, how much is that? Which is more and which is less? ”

Yu Wenli suddenly realized and nodded, naturally understanding Li Xuanqing's words after explanation. But he still wondered: "What if someone obstructs it?" ”

"If anyone obstructs it, it is an enemy of Fengzhou and an enemy of the Tiance Army." Li Xuanqing took a sip of tea lightly, and his faint voice seemed to be saying something insignificant, but listening to Yu Wenli and He Wenjin's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they did not hesitate to use the army to escort them for the sake of commercial development, should this be called crazy? However, if it is not possible to develop the protection of merchants and commerce in this way, then it is called a lack of heavenly reason.

"In Toyoshu, the status of agriculture, industry and commerce is the same, and there is no one who is higher and who is lower. All men are equal before the law. With the words spit out of Li Xuanqing's mouth, Fengzhou's industry and commerce began to develop explosively. The local wealthy Murong family, under the opening of a mysterious high-grade porcelain of white marble porcelain, relied on their business connections around Fengzhou and Heshuo and other places, and quickly started business in the north. This kind of white marble porcelain is comparable to the quality of high-end porcelain secret color porcelain of this era, but its price is only about half of that of secret color porcelain, and unlike secret color porcelain, white marble porcelain is constantly appearing in the porcelain market in the north. All of a sudden, the wealthy families in the north, the big businessmen and those officials at all levels begged for purchases, and the Murong family quickly developed from a merchant in Fengzhou to a big wealthy businessman in the north.

The Murong family, which relied on white marble porcelain to get rich, has become a microcosm of Fengzhou's industrial and commercial development, and the four major families left in the early stage have been doing prosperous business during this time, surpassing their previous competitors. Yuwen's salt has contributed to the sharp drop in the price of salt in the entire north, after all, compared with traditional boiled salt, the advantage of almost zero cost of dried salt is enough to crush any opponent who dares to compete.

After the He family won the medicinal materials and leather business, they used the concept provided by Li Xuanqing to make commonly used drugs into pills or powder according to the prescription ratio and sell them. The logistics department of the Tiance Army led by Zuo Tiancheng bought out the He family's two-year output of five drugs in Fengzhou Pharmacy, including hemostatic powder, painkiller pills, and compound bone powder. This directly changed the people's perception and began to accept this daily disease and traumatic medicine. With the abundant supply of raw materials from Fengzhou and Yelu Aceh, the Hui merchants, the He family quickly defeated their opponents and almost dominated the entire Guannei Road, Shannan West Road and Hezhong Hedong Market.

The Xu Xingxia and Xu families, who had earlier obtained the wool textile technology, also joined Yelu Aceh to set up a one-stop production and marketing complex from raw materials to ready-to-wear, and this new type of cloth and clothing quickly occupied the Fengzhou market, and was brought to all parts of the north with the entry and exit of merchants from all walks of life. And the Xu family's workshop began to receive orders from other places before completing the order for Tiance Army's military uniforms. The status of the Xu family in Jinzhou has accelerated the flow of wool products to the south.

In fact, in addition to these big businesses, the small businesses that have emerged around these big businesses are what makes Li Xuanqing feel gratified. In order to cultivate these small industrial and commercial entities, Li Xuanqing artificially favored them in taxation and law enforcement. After the new five giants knew Li Xuanqing's thoughts, they also began to outsource some unimportant processes or processing processes, which further promoted the rapid development of these small industrial and commercial entities.

The original city of Fengzhou has long been overcrowded, so the Assassin Mansion deliberately opened up a commercial development area outside the city, and began to plan the urban development map and formulate a reasonable development layout while opening up the new commercial area. At the same time, the Assassin Prefecture ordered all the handicraft workshops in the city to be moved to a separate area in the north of the city, and this model similar to the later industrial park also led to the development and progress of Fengzhou's road infrastructure, and the horses purchased by the Yelu family from the grasslands began to play a huge role, and two-wheeled carriages and four-wheeled wagons began to be widely promoted.

In order to protect these commercial channels connected to Fengzhou, Li Xuanqing involved Xuan Yingwei in the whole process, using Xuan Yingwei's power to provide military protection when necessary, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to protect merchants. At the same time, Hu Xiaosi also took advantage of this to let Xuan Yingwei accelerate his infiltration into various places and develop intelligence forces.

The commercial explosion of these whole months ignited the passion for Toyoshu's development, but it also exacerbated the shortage of labor in Toyoshu. Although the Murong family has tried its best to find ways to import population from other states, in this era, except for the displaced people, other festivals are still very strict in controlling the population. The small-scale input problem is not big, but there is really no way to solve the problem of a gap of more than tens of thousands at every turn, similar to Fengzhou.

Since Li Xuanqing mandated that all new handicraft workshops must be placed in the control area of the Tiance Army, these major families began to use their own commercial channels to bring people into the country after seeing the shortage of local labor, which finally relieved the pressure on the Assassin Mansion.

Due to the rapid development of industry and commerce, the agricultural population of Toyosu began to decline significantly. After the autumn grain harvest, the originally planned 500,000 mu of newly reclaimed land actually had few responders. However, this reminded Cen Tianshi of the method of the state farm that Li Xuanqing said. At that moment, he did not hesitate to open up eight large-scale state-owned farms in one go, and began to hire the common people to cultivate in the name of the Thorn Mansion, turning these people into agricultural industrial workers, popularizing the four-ridge plough, equipping them with sufficient ploughing oxen, using new seeds and double stone fertilizer, all planting grain crops, and storing grain, so as to loosen the restrictions on the cultivation of crops on those private fields, so that the people who owned their own land and those who had been allocated land in the previous season could grow other cash crops according to market demand and increase their income. For this reason, the Assassin Prefecture also sent people to the fields to guide the people, and promote the development of mulberry fish ponds, cotton planting, and the cultivation and maintenance of vegetables, fruits and flowers, in order to enable agriculture to keep up with the speed of industrial and commercial development. On the basis of increasing production and income, the original backward farming methods have also begun to change, and under the guidance of the new farming methods brought by the people in the interior, agriculture has quietly completed reform and development.

Seeing that everything was on track, Li Xuanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to turn his head to deal with the information sent by Xuan Yingwei. Next to the huge map, Li Xuanqing's eyes began to pass through the back set and fixed on the entire Tang Dynasty territory.

"Big brother, today we're going to see the handicraft workshop." Qiaoxi held a small notebook, stood beside Li Xuanqing prettyly, and became a temporary secretary.
