Chapter 277: Adjustment of Commerce

"I think so too, but ......" Han Fei nodded and said: "These are just my imaginations, there is no basis for facts, right now, it is just with Jinyang as a pilot, if it is feasible, it can be implemented in the whole county." ”

As he spoke, Han Fei's voice changed, and he pointed to the drawings and continued: "Ben Taishou has recently observed that merchants and people, scholars, and officials all live together, and there are many inconveniences in coming and going. ”

"It's wonderful that the lord plans like this, but it costs ......" Guo Jia nodded, but said embarrassedly.

"Hehe, Feng Xiao also persuaded all the people under his rule to build according to this, but now he ...... Ha ha! Fengxiao is not in a hurry, how big is the cauldron and how many meters do we put down, Ben Taishou asked you, if you only build this city, not counting the property that you got from Dong Zhuo, is the current military arsenal enough? ”

"This lord can rest assured, if it is only this city, it is easy. Recently, it is very sufficient! ”

"That's good, take this city as a model, if it can be prosperous, the rest will follow suit, and at that time, it will not be the turn of Fengxiao to bother, and someone will pay for it."

"The lord is wise, but Jia never thought of it. Vain Jia knows that people have the habit of following the trend, but now they are not omitted, but they should be like this, uh...... It's a plan, so planned, Jia thinks that even the Nashi clan will agree, think about it, 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 also be happy. ”

"Humph! Ben Taishou did not consider their wishes, but I only wanted the people to have their own houses and clothes. There is land to grow and there is food, and this is enough! The world is the world of the people, but not the world of other people. At least their tricks won't work with me! Fengxiao, can the land of the scholars be enough? ”

"Lord, the land in Taiyuan is concentrated in the hands of those scholars, and recently it has been copied that there is a private family with the Xiongnu, and a lot of land has been obtained."

"Fengxiao, you follow my orders. Make every effort to buy the land in the hands of the family, and distribute it to the people according to the head. You're solely responsible for this! Well, so be it, tell the people, the first year. Tax-free. Thereafter, ten taxes two. Another blacksmith made every effort to build agricultural things and rented them to the people at a low price. Ben Taishou has seen recently, the people are very difficult, there are many households without farm tools, Taiyuan is good in the state, and it is still so. It is conceivable what kind of frame other counties are...... That's right. Another person buys cattle and rents them to the people to help them produce. ”

"The people of Jiadai have thanked the lord, and the lord is really a merciful king!" Guo Jia was so moved to see that I was so considerate of the people. "However, the lord exempted the people from taxes for this year, but all kinds of expenses are like this?"

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to be filial piety, Ben Taishou dares to exempt him from taxes, and he has his own place to get money," Han Fei smiled and said confidently: "Another order from me to cancel the poll tax on entering the city......"

"Huh?" At this time, even Guo Jia was almost taken aback by Han Fei's words, and said in a lost voice: "Lord, by all means, this is extremely important in taxes!" If it is abolished, how will Taiyuan have the money and food to expand the army in the future? Where is the money and grain to remediate Taiyuan? Right now, it costs a lot of money just to spend so much on farm tools......"

"Don't panic, don't panic." Han Fei is not in a hurry at all, anyway, when he is idle and bored in the later life. I've read a lot about taxation on the Internet, so let's put it to use.

"No, no, no!" City gate tax, Guo Jia is not relaxed at all. However, Han Fei also knew that he was not for him Guo Jia himself, but for him Han Fei's good. It doesn't hurt to change some minor decrees. This gate tax has a lot to do with it. Don't look at those few articles. How many people are in and out of Jinyang in one day alone? And how much is that tax? Seeing that Guo Jia's attitude was very resolute, Han Fei was also a little skeptical: Could it be that it is inappropriate for the knowledge of later generations to be used here?

So Han Fei had no choice but to ignore the city gate tax for the time being, but in view of the fact that the territory of Taiyuan was not as calm as imagined, Han Fei issued another decree: past merchants can ask the army to escort them to ensure safety; The local guards may also send some soldiers to escort the passers-by as appropriate...... Of course, there is a fee for these! Equivalent to a later bodyguard. It's just that this money, the local guards don't need to hand it over. It is used to improve the living conditions of his soldiers. As soon as this order came out, many soldiers were immediately full of good feelings towards their lords, and even those who belonged to Zhang Yang were also moved.

Guo Jia raised his hands in favor of this decree, which was a good way to win people's hearts and improve the lives of sergeants.

"Fengxiao, although Ben Taishou knows that you are not a pedantic person, you are still somewhat conformist! The times are progressing, and people's eyes should also look far away, what should be changed must be changed, and what should be scrapped must be abolished. Ben Taishou wants to remove some miscellaneous taxes on business, and only collect transaction taxes, which will be set at ten taxes for the time being! ”

"The lesson of the lord is that the removal of these miscellaneous taxes and the collection of only transaction taxes will not greatly reduce the tax revenue?" Rao Guojia ghost elf also asked puzzled at this moment.

"Feng Xiao is confused, you don't know, there are more merchants, and the amount of transactions is more, which naturally makes up for the missing taxes. Businessmen, no profit can not be early, you must know that the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Taiyuan is also a big county, and it is one of the concentrations of war horse trading on the grassland, why is the business not very developed? There may be some reasons for the gentry, but in the final analysis, it is mostly caused by excessive miscellaneous taxes. Ben Taishou once heard such a sentence, small profits but quick turnover, attracting businessmen, the transaction volume has gone up, why worry about no tax to collect? ”

"Taxation is a hundred-year plan, a 10,000-year plan, not a year's plan, don't just care about the present, dry up and fish, burn the forest and hunt, that will only be killing chickens and eggs, sooner or later there will be no job to eat!"

Guo Jia listened with relish and admired it from the bottom of his heart, it turned out that he could still collect taxes like this! In vain, I Guo Jia thinks I am smart, but I am not as good as the lord in a word, a word, better than me Guo Jia has read for ten years! Today, it's really insightful. Since then, Guo Jia has been even more convinced of Han Fei.

Those who were originally in Taiyuan were apprehensive when they saw that Jinyang had changed their taxes at the beginning. But when I thought about it, I suddenly smiled again. The original taxes, regardless of whether you trade in Jinyang or not. As long as you bring goods into Jinyang, you have to pay taxes, and they are taxed according to the price of your goods. This is also the way in which taxes are collected in the cities today.

But now, although the poll tax of the person who enters the city gate is still there, but if there is no transaction in Jinyang, then there is no need to pay taxes, and only when the transaction is successful, a tax will be collected, which is simply the gospel of the merchant! In just half a month, those businessmen informed their relatives and friends through their own channels. Immediately, more and more people learned about it, and all the businessmen who got the news rushed to Taiyuan. When it came to Jinyang, Taiyuan Jinyang almost became the commercial center of the northwest for a while, and no matter what goods could be bought in it.

A large number of merchants came. It greatly stimulated the business and consumption of Jinyang, and some businessmen with outstanding vision came to the county guard mansion and asked to set up stores in Jinyang.

For a time, every inch of land in Jinyang is gold!

Guo Jia is so happy these days. I really have the feeling of counting money and cramping in my hands. The tax is really as Han Fei said, not only has it not decreased, but it has increased by five or six times compared with the past! The money from selling the land to those merchants alone was enough for Han Fei to arm another elite. Guo Jia's heart is even more impressed with Han Fei: The lord is really a god and a man!

Looking at the bustling merchants in front of the mansion, Han Fei thought about it, carved out the best part of the commercial area in the southwest of the city, and sold the land to those merchants one by one according to the vision of future generations. And it is set for a five-year period of land.

Guo Jia watched the sky-high price of land being bought by merchants, and his jaw fell to the ground (if he could. Definitely), these people actually paid such a high price for a piece of land. And it's only for five years! In fact, although he is wise, although he is not a business idiot, he is really not proficient in business, how can he have the vision of those businessmen!

Concentrated business district, a large number of businessmen settled in Jinyang, prices, no longer the family can control, everything, are developing benignly, Jinyang, with the naked eye visible speed is becoming more and more prosperous.

……

"Lord, it's good that you're here!" Jia Xi hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Han Fei buried in the case, he didn't care about asking for an order, and shouted urgently.

"Oh? Why is the old gentleman so flustered? I didn't expect Jia Xi, who was in front of Taishan to collapse, to be so panicked, could it be that the Huns called? It shouldn't be, even if the Huns came, with the old man's strategy, he would be in his chest, and there would be no reason to panic, but why is this? Could it be that Zhang Yang or Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army is moving...... Ben Taishou couldn't think of it. The old gentleman is in a hurry, and it is not too late to breathe. Seeing Jia Xi running in in a panic, Han Fei couldn't help but be surprised, what actually made this person like this?

Jia Xi is not in Jinyang these days, but was sent by Han Fei to Zhongdu, Yangyi and other counties in the south of Taiyuan, although Taiyuan is in hand, but Zhang Yang's little means, how can he hide Han Fei, Guo Jia, Chen Gong and these people, especially Guo Jia's secret agents have already explored the civil and military roots of these counties. Since he knew that it was Zhang Yang's people who stayed, Han Fei naturally would not be polite, but all the counties that were on the verge of the party, Han Fei found enough excuses to wait and eradicate them one by one, of course, the fifteen counties of Taiyuan, except for Jinyang, the remaining fourteen counties are Zhang Yang's people, and it is impossible for Han Fei to catch them all, in that case, it will only be a mouthful.

Han Fei's move, but those counties that either border the Shangdang or have direct ties with the Huns, in the face of all kinds of ironclad evidence, kill chickens and set an example of monkeys, and the effect is very good.

I heard that Zhang Yang got the news and was seriously ill.

I knew this was the case, why did I leave these people in the first place?

There was a big reshuffle in several counties in the central capital, and as long as the officials of all sizes had anything to do with Zhang Yang were purged, in this way, there were many vacancies, and no one in the county was governed, but Han Fei's subordinates, there were really not many civil officials, there was no way, Han Fei could only be the big one, select a group of people, and under the leadership of Jia Xi and Fu Hu, go with Huang Zhong to suppress the situation.

Huang Zhong led an army of 10,000 and camped in Yangyi, monitoring every movement of Zhang Yang, and at the same time, seeing that Huang Zhong was brave and strategic, and Han Fei joined the military with frustration, in fact, he was ready to experience him, and it was Huang Zhong who was really in charge.

And Jia Xi went with him, just under Han Fei's order, to appoint the counties to suppress the restless situation, this little thing, as the original court official, the history of a state's assassination, Jia Xi is naturally extremely relaxed.

And now that Jia Xi has returned, the situation in the southern counties has stabilized.

Jia Xi took two deep breaths, and finally took a breath. Only then did he arch his hand and said: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, old and ask the lord, but the lord, you issued that decree?" Changing tax to ...... Transaction Tax. Who came up with the word. It's really hard to say! ”

Cut, Han Fei thought it was a big deal, so that this old man was almost exhausted! smiled at the moment and said, "Yes, it was I who promulgated it, could it be that the old gentleman is so anxious?" That's the sin of Ben Taishou, if you really tire out Ben Taishou's ministers for this matter. Wouldn't it make Ben Taishou die of guilt? ”

"Lord, this is a curse! Why is the lord confused? Why didn't that little cub stop the lord? Confused, Fengxiao is also confused! "Look at Jia Xi's dusty appearance. I'm afraid that I will rush back when I hear the news, knowing that the decree has been issued for more than half a month.

"Oh, who is chewing on the root of the tongue behind my back, saying that I Guo Jia is confused?" Guo Jia walked in from the door. Before entering the door, it yelled open. Obviously, he heard Jia Xi's words. When I entered the door, I saw that it was Jia Xi, and I couldn't help but be stunned, didn't this person go out, when did he come back? How I don't know! hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Jia, when he returned, why didn't he inform the kid." It is easy to greet it. ”

Rare respect.

There are really not many people in Han Feijun's army who can make Guo Jia respectful. Han Fei is counted as one, Jia Xi is old enough to be Guo Jia's grandfather, I have to be respectful, it is also counted as one, and the other is Zheng Xuan, who has not yet arrived in Taiyuan. As for the others, Guo Jia will make some jokes lightly or severely, showing the true character of the prodigal son.

"Fengxiao, who would have thought of the word about that transaction tax, such a mouthful! That transaction tax, why don't you persuade the lord? ”

Mouthful? Truly! Guo Jia looked at Han Fei, who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. After finding a seat and sitting down for a long time, he said, "Stop? Why should I block it? This decree is very good, is the old gentleman back? Haven't you seen the prosperity of Jinyang today? That's exactly what this decree is all about! Now only this transaction tax, what is the word "lord of the arsenal"? Yes, it's counting money until your hands cramp, so good for the country and the people, why should I stop it? ”

"Well, this, but the old man is in a hurry, and he hasn't looked at it carefully. However, the population seems to be much denser than before, and the specific old man is unknown. However, lord and filial piety, have you ever thought that such a change in the tax law has deeply touched the interests of the scholar family, and such a decree has deeply calculated them. Although the old man understands, those businessmen are all outsiders, if Jinyang is in trouble, they have almost no reason to help! Only those families in Jinyang can help. Jia Xi said repeatedly.

Although the Jia family is down, no matter what, the Jia family is not a child of a poor family, and it is not surprising that they can say so.

"The old gentleman is confused, if Jinyang is in trouble, it is common sense that the scholars will help each other, because their wealth and finances are in Jinyang, one is prosperous, and one is lost, how can they not help? The lord said to Jia before that the world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. If Jinyang is prosperous and profitable, even if you use knives and guns to drive them away, you won't drive them away. On the contrary, if it was really a bitter cold place before, did Zhicai still think that they would be attached to this place? Guo Jia listened to Jia Xi's words, couldn't bear it, and said again and again.

Not to mention, Guo Jia's learning ability is really strong, and in just over half a month, he has used all the words that Han Fei said for his own use, and he is still so flexible.

Jia Xi looked at Guo Jia in surprise, when did this kid also understand the way of business Jia, pointed at Guo Jia and said uncertainly: "Are you sure you are Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao?" The prodigal son? ”

Because of the relationship between government affairs, Jia Xi and Guo Jia are often together, and they know each other well for most of the past six months, but now, how do you look at the current Guo Jia and make him feel strange.

If it weren't for Guo Jia's appearance not changing, Jia Xi really thought that another person was standing in front of him.

"Don't look at me like that, old sir...... The lord said, Shibei three days, since he should be impressed, in the lord's place, Jia Ke has not learned less. Guo Jiadao.

Jia Xi looked at Han Fei in surprise, it was precisely because of his deep understanding that he was even more surprised, who is Guo Jia? The talent of a body can be said to be quite proud, and it is rare to convince a person, unless this person sees that Guo Jia recommends it to the lord, and then looks at Han Fei, and there is no reason not to be surprised!

Don't look at me like that, people will be embarrassed! You're a big man, and you're not a woman, and you're still so old, as for that? Han Fei really wants to say, don't worship brother, brother is just a legend!

"My lord?" Jia Xi saw Han Fei looking at him blankly, and couldn't help but call out loud.

Depend on! The's self-satisfied, distracted!

"This, that...... Old gentleman, don't drill the horns of this decree, Ben Taishou has his own measure here. In fact, as Feng Xiao said, the current Jinyang, although it is only more than half a month, is indeed becoming more and more prosperous, one day at a time, everything is developing on the good side, and I think those families will never have two hearts. As long as the Jin sheep can maintain prosperity and peace, how can they be willing to give up this place in this troubled world? I'm afraid it's too late to protect, so they can't help but care. ”

"The lord is smart, but it's better to be old!" Jia Xi listened to the truth he had heard, but he was reasonable and admiring. If you could have these methods when you did the history of Yuzhou Thorns......

"By the way, what is the situation in the southern counties?" (To be continued......)
