Xue Juzhi said that this was the focus of today's discussion between the two, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he said: "Hua Qiang, I said it just now, everything depends on you, you just need to quote a price." ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "No, no, no, this price is not something I say will be reported, I have to discuss it with you." Just now you have agreed to remove the tax card for hundreds of miles around Jincheng, and then you have agreed to scatter your subordinates back home, and provide for them according to the standard of government soldiers. ”

Xue Ju pondered for a while, he was not a businessman, but the experience of leading the team over the years forced him to make an account of each soldier's expenses, he raised his head and said: "Well, I am now giving soldiers 600 yuan a year, and officers ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a year, if I am on my current scale, more than 1,300 soldiers and more than 200 officers, the annual expenditure will be about 1.1 million." I still have more than 2,000 supernumerary brothers outside the city, and if I want to levy them, I have to calculate the money separately. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Even if it is 1.2 million, and the salaries of the five hundred sergeants in the establishment are paid by the imperial court, this money is often drawn from the 10% tax rate of the passing caravans, I have always known this, isn't it, Brother Xue." ”

Xue Ju's face flushed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Hua Qiang is really in control, then you can calculate how much my tax rate is." ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "In the past two years, for example, my caravan has to pass through Jincheng at least four times a year, and the total payment for goods each time is more than one million, sometimes nearly two million. The caravans that pass through here every month add up to at least ten of my size. I count 20 million caravans crossing here every month. It's 240 million a year. Right? ”

Xue Ju's head began to sweat: "Hua Qiang, you can't calculate your account like this, your two million payment is the high price that you sell after arriving at the destination, and here in our Jincheng, you can't sell it for so much money." Moreover, these profiteers will hide and not report when they cross the state border, and some people secretly go to the Qilian Mountains and the Gobi in the north in order to avoid paying taxes. But we're in the Golden City. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "Okay, even if I deduct the remaining quarter according to what you said, 60 million yuan a year will pass through your territory, there is no problem with this." ”

Xue Ju gritted his teeth and nodded, "Even if it's sixty million." Hua Qiang, according to what you just said, I can only collect 1.2 million yuan in taxes of 60 million? ”

Wang Huaqiang put away his smile and said calmly: "You need 1.2 million to support these subordinates." In normal times, I also have to pay some filial piety to the history of Lanzhou Thorn, the governor of Liangzhou. Even the officials of the Shangshu Provincial Military Department in Daxing City, I know all this, and I can't let Brother Xue not save money, you will become a hegemon here in the future, and you don't have millions in your hands, how can you do it. With an income of three million a year, you should be satisfied. ”

Although Xue Ju was still not very satisfied in his heart, he was expecting to be able to pass the heavy tax of 30% a year and draw 15 to 20 million, but now that Wang Huaqiang has taken the lead everywhere, he can only endure it, so he has to nod his head, and barely squeeze out a smile, which is more ugly than crying.

Wang Huaqiang knew Xue Ju's little Jiujiu, and smiled slightly: "Brother Xue, you are in this remote border city, you have too much money at once, it is not your blessing, save a million spare money every year, and leave it to me to take care of, I can make this money make money, in ten years, I can make it become forty or fifty million, what do you think?" ”

Xue Ju has always known Wang Huaqiang's ability to make money, he quickly calculated, two million in his hands a year is enough, and another one million for Wang Huaqiang to invest, there must be some money, if this guy is bankrupt or finished, there is no need to be restrained by him, and then he will re-set up his tax card, twenty or thirty million a year, and he will soon be able to make up for the loss, no matter how he calculates, he will not lose.

Thinking of this, Xue Juha smiled: "Hua Qiang, you do something, I don't worry, that's all!"

The corners of Wang Huaqiang's mouth hooked, revealing a smile: "Brother Xue, there are three more small things that you need to do, this matter involves the rules of the Silk Road, and it can't be broken." ”

Xue Ju was slightly stunned and asked, "What three things?" ”

Wang Huaqiang stretched out a finger: "This is the first, it is my shopkeeper Liu Changshui, this person betrayed me first, and gave you a bad idea later, this person must not stay, today Brother Xue said that inside and outside this golden city, it is easy for you to disappear without a trace, right?" ”

Xue Ju nodded: "Yes, it's just better not to do it in the city, he is your shopkeeper after all, such a big living person is missing, in case someone reports to the official to investigate, I may also have trouble here." ”

Wang Huaqiang thought for a while and said: "That's okay, after I return to Daxing, I will send someone to replace Liu Changshui, he is on the way out of the city, you do it again, so that no one will care?" Everything in this golden city is wilderness, if a person is gone, then someone reports to the official, and it can't be found, right? ”

Xue Ju said: "Okay, just do as you say, what about the second thing?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "The second thing is to set a rule for the caravans coming and going to Jincheng, the caravans on the Silk Road must come to Jincheng to pay taxes to the imperial court, that is, to your Xue Dudu, if you don't pay, you will send people to pretend to be horse bandits and rob them in the wilderness and mountains." ”

Xue Ju gasped, and his face changed: "Hua Qiang, is this possible?" I'm an official soldier, although I also kill people and destroy tribes, but that's against bandits, if I rob a caravan like this, I will be killed. ”

Wang Huaqiang said coldly: "Caught? Who's going to get you? Are you going to arrest yourself, or is it the army of the governor of Liangzhou who is coming to arrest you? Usually you should be dotted and filial piety from Lanzhou Assassin History, Jincheng Sima to Liangzhou Governor of these people, those caravans who want to evade taxes and avoid cards, naturally do not belong to the protection of the imperial court, you will pretend to go to the scene when the time comes, by the way, first plant the blame, and then destroy one or two disobedient small tribes, isn't this killing two birds with one stone? ”

Xue Ju's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you plant it?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's voice revealed a hint of coldness: "Those stolen goods, you sent people to smuggle them, and sold them to a few disobedient Qiang tribes at a low price, when the time comes, attack and kill these tribes, find out the stolen goods, just say that they did it, do you still need me to teach this kind of thing?" Anyway, the caravan has been wiped out, and these stolen goods have also been confiscated, haven't they gone into your Brother Xue's pocket after the end? It's just that this time you don't want to do any more human meatloaf human jerky, it's disgusting to listen to. ”

Xue Ju's eyes lit up, and he smiled proudly: "This method is good, Ha Luha, Hua Qiang, there is really you, so that those profiteers who want to take advantage will never dare to go to Qilian Mountain again." There are also more than a dozen Qiangzi tribes in the south, who have been disobedient, and they just took this opportunity to exterminate them. ”

Wang Huaqiang looked at Xue Ju's excited look, and he was extremely contemptuous in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and said: "This third thing, I need you to help me take care of a family, I can't let them have an accident, I can't let them move out, everything needs to be under control." ”

Xue Ju was slightly stunned and asked, "What, Hua Qiang, do you still have relatives in this Golden City?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "I can't talk about relatives, it's just that when I was in Nanchen before, I met a woman from Chen Guo, she was the daughter of the Chen family at that time, and then she didn't enter the palace, and now she can help me inquire about some news in the palace, I promised her to take care of her family outside for her, and now I heard that her family is in Zhengjia Village, fifteen miles north of Jincheng City, and she has divided her family to cultivate eighty acres of land, I can't take care of this family in Daxing, only to bother your brother to take care of it." ”

Xue Ju smiled maliciously: "Is that woman your good look?" You're going to protect her like this? I know that place in Zhengjia Village, there are several original Nanchen clans, and the imperial court has also sent a few retired veterans to watch there, so it is said that they can't run, do you still need me to see it? (To be continued......)
