Chapter 448: Swimming in the Lake and Talking About Tomorrow

As Zhang Tie took out the plan prepared in advance, the room on the third floor of Changfeng Pavilion fell silent, no one spoke anymore, and no one cared about the wine and food that tasted inferior to the blue sea and silver sand.

The crowd led by Li Dong gathered together to form three circles, each circle had a plan, and watched without saying a word.

"It's really good, that Zhang Xiaobao really has some ability." After reading a few catalogs, Li Dong raised his head and said in Silla to the people who were also watching the probe.

Several people nodded their heads, but they couldn't think of a solution in the plan in hand.

After saying a word, Li Dong gently turned the page, and several people continued to look seriously.

Part of the plan is how to mobilize the materials for road construction, where to find people to help transport them, and part part is how strong the road will be and whether it can withstand the rush of heavy water and the trampling of horses' hooves.

Li Dong and the others are not interested in this information, a million guan is not so easy to come out, and more than 20 companies together can't get a million guan, they have to find more people, so there must be a reason for others to make a move.

What everyone wants to know more is how much benefit it can bring to their side if the road is repaired.

Turning another page, the information they needed finally appeared.

First, the road will be built at the junction of the two places, that is, the border between Silla and Daetang, and it will not take long to see the results, and inns and restaurants will be built on the roadside, as well as other houses, to rest for people who have just arrived here from Datang or Silla who have returned here.

This point is expected to get a monthly rental profit of 1,000 yuan, and in the future, with the increase in trade and transportation, the income can be doubled, this part of the money, Zheng Zheng Construction only needs 20% of the profit, and after the same repair in Jili State, Silla investors can also get 20% of the profit.

Seeing the first point, Li Dong showed a smile on his face, he can have eighty percent and two percent of the benefits, it is the same as falling money from the sky, it is really calculated according to the proportion of money invested, and the sum of himself and others is not enough for one percent, depending on the situation, Zhang Xiaobao will give some benefits first, and then he will get it back from other aspects.

With this in mind, the crowd continued to look down.

The second point is that the road repair occupies the road that is barely able to pass from afar, which is not considered a road, so that the people or teams who can still walk this road must have to walk on their own if they want to not walk on the newly built road.

If you want to go, you must pay a part of the toll, for the maintenance of the road, a single pass, no money in hand, can stay on both sides and wait for other caravans to come, help guard and transport, instead of tolls, both sides will get a certain percentage of the intermediary fee from the caravan.

If a caravan passes, a fee is charged according to the value of the goods, and considering that the value of the goods can increase several times from one place to another, Gu, it is necessary to charge a tenth of the value of the goods, or half of the goods.

"Okay, the second point is good, don't take the road we repair, go to other places, one is dangerous, the other is delayed, one percent of the money is a lot, it is best to collect half of the goods, the goods are transported back and forth, all of them are not available in the two places, and the value will be higher."

When Li Dong saw the second one, he stopped again to say a word to the people around him, and several people nodded again.

Third, Datang will set up a toll gate at the place where the two sides are adjacent, and all goods coming from Silla must pay a tariff of 20% to protect the profits of goods in the corresponding industry of Datang, and Datang will send people to inspect and put an end to smuggling.

"Why? What customs duties are paid for buying and selling transportation? The first time I heard of it, it was really surprising that Zheng Zheng Building could represent the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court? ”

Li Dong saw the third article, he was not satisfied, he also wanted to transport more Silla things to Datang in the future, Jili Prefecture has a large population, there are more goods in demand, and the price can be higher, if you pay this inexplicable tariff, isn't it just giving money to others?

So he questioned Zhang Tie who was sitting on the cushion dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Tie is drinking the flower tea he brought, and he has been a little hot on the boat recently, thanks to the thoughtful consideration of the owner, he gave the flower tea, tasted a faint floral fragrance, and in the aftertaste, he was interrupted by Li Dong, licked his lips, and said:

"All my Tang Dynasty ministers know that my little son and little lady can replace Datang in dealing with foreign affairs, and His Majesty also agreed, saying that tariffs will be collected, not to mention that this is not the first time that Datang has collected tariffs when it is foreign countries.

On the Jiannan Road side, it has already begun to collect customs duties, even if my lord's caravan comes from outside, it will take the initiative to hand over the corresponding money, and the same is true for Xinyuan Island, it is estimated that in a few days, Japanese ships will also start to pay customs duties, and this matter cannot be violated.

Silla can also collect tariffs, otherwise, Li Dongjia can think about it, Li Dongjia wants to buy porcelain from Datang, transport it back to Silla to sell, buy a porcelain bowl for six yuan, come back and sell it for thirty yuan, my Datang caravan used the relationship to buy porcelain bowls at a lower price, also shipped to Silla, sold for twenty yuan, did Li Dongjia reduce the price?

If it falls, the Datang caravan only needs to keep its profits at the same level as Li Dongjia, and the price will be lower than Li Dongjia, and Li Dongjia still has money to make? After collecting tariffs, it is natural to raise the price in order to make a profit, which is a kind of protection for the Li Dong family. ”

Li Dong nodded, his face changed, it was indeed like what Zhang Tie said, when Datang's caravan began to transport goods in large quantities, it had a big impact on himself.

At this time, Zhang Tie said: "In addition to the impact of buying products from Datang, there is another, the trees of Silla are always not as many as those of Datang, especially the output of cloth, such as a weaver, can earn 300 yuan a year to make a living, my Datang has more advanced weaving machines, cloth is cheap, sold to Silla at a lower price, Silla weavers will starve to death?" ”

This time, more people nodded, and they admitted that Datang's technology was more advanced than Silla's, and they also understood this truth.

If the cloth is cheap, the weaver will not be able to weave, and if the grain is cheap, the farmer will not be able to farm, and the craftsman will not work, and if there is no output, there will be no money, and if there is no money, he will not be able to buy goods, and if the goods cannot be sold, the merchant will be finished.

"This is called the economic crisis, the abnormal supply exceeds demand, and then Silla can be over, my little son does not plan to harm Silla so much, otherwise I will not mention this matter, and then mobilize a large number of materials, several impacts, Silla can still have a good way to live, the little son is benevolent, benevolent."

Zhang Tie also showed off his knowledge with Li Dong and others, and he didn't care if it was right or wrong, anyway, the people on Li Dong's side didn't know.

Li Dong still agrees with Zhang Tie's previous words, and the only thing he disagrees with is the words that praise the little son's benevolence and righteousness later, so he doesn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao can be good.

"This ...... We need to go back and talk about it. "Li Dong can't make up his mind, the matter involved is too big, he needs to talk to the people from the sect where Silla came to him last time, and see how he plans, it seems that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have stabilized the affairs of Jili Prefecture and are ready to hold a business with Silla, which is a trouble.

"It doesn't matter, the Li Dong family has difficulties, we can understand it, this matter is not in a hurry, wait for the Li Dong family to discuss it, after all, one million guan is still too much for Silla, and Silla's annual income may not be able to reach this amount, not to mention that it is only a merchant headed by the Li Dong family."

Zhang Tie replied with a smile, but the words he said were very uncomfortable, even if he didn't show it on his face, his words showed a slight lofty posture.

Li Dong and the others endured this discomfort in their hearts, and did not refute it, who made the family open their mouths is 10 million times.

The sun is warm.

Li Longji was lying on the artificially made salt-saturated lake, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, looking very comfortable, and from time to time he picked up a glass of wine floating on the table next to him and took a sip, such a life is really enjoyable.

Just drank a glass, a little smoky, eyes glanced at the entrance, waiting to pick up the letter of the family Gao Lishi came back, not far away came from the sound of plopping, it was the palace maid performing a water dance.

Nearby, she was accompanied by Concubine Wu Hui, wearing a translucent swimsuit, full of temptation.

"Your Majesty, don't let anyone else come to this lake in the future, after others swim by, the water will be dirty." Concubine Wu Hui was holding a peach in her hand, she had just washed and peeled it from the water next to her, handed it to Li Longji's mouth, and said softly.

Li Longji took a bite of the peach, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and said to Concubine Wu Hui: "The lake is big, how can someone get dirty, the people who come to swim have a doctor check at the entrance outside, and those who are sick are not allowed to go down, and they really don't let others come, so who will pay for the salt and water?"

The lake is more than 300 zhang long, that is, 1,000 meters, 200 meters wide, 10 meters deep, according to Xiaobao's calculation, this is 2 million cubic meters, if the salt is saturated, it will probably need more than 600,000 tons of salt, from the beginning of the construction of this lake, until now, it has been constantly widening, spending so much money, and it has to inject new water and salt every once in a while.

If others don't pay, will they let me out? Then I am really a faint king, let Xiaobao and Juan Juan know, they should stop the public welfare money for disaster relief and construction that the family takes out every year, and my loss will be even greater. ”

"Your Majesty, haven't you thought about it so much, it turns out that the Zhang and Wang families are so powerful? If there are really two of them, wouldn't my Datang be in danger? Your Majesty will have to make more concessions to them. Concubine Wu Hui listened to Li Longji's words, her eyes rolled, and she said as if she agreed.

"Hey~" Li Longji looked at Concubine Wu Hui and sighed, and said: "Don't always think about dealing with their family, even if what you say is right, Datang can't do without them, so what?" This piece of heaven is not what I say, I may be able to succeed in dealing with the Zhang and Wang families, I am fighting for the Datang economy to regress for decades, and drive them away, yes, I can only drive them away, it is not easy to destroy them.

When will it be? I'm not working on new weapons? Wait until someone from another distant continent comes over and fights from the sea in that place in Luzhou towards the capital*? ”
