Cao Ying handed over Yanzhou to Jiang Zhe for governance, Jiang Zhe didn't think anything about it at first, but as soon as there were many things, big and small things came together, Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered the scene of playing the simulation business game before, but now it is not a game, if there is a mistake in government affairs, there will be a lot of trouble......

But what made Jiang Zhe himself feel amazing was that he actually played all the big and small things in Yanzhou......

Of course, Li Ru's help is indispensable, who is Li Ru? When I followed Dong Zhuo, Luoyang was in charge of everything, what had I never seen?

With his help, Jiang Zhe suddenly felt relaxed.

Troublesome ruffians? The culprit will be punished with a rod, and if the circumstances are serious, he will be imprisoned, confiscated, or beheaded, depending on the circumstances.

The people who originally thought that Cao Ying could relax a little after leaving have learned a lesson.

Although Jiang Zhe is friendly to others, he is absolutely not pedantic, and he will never be soft on these disturbers of public order.

Regarding the livelihood of the people, Li Ru also offered advice.

This is for those people who have no property, that is, the government pays for agricultural tools, rents them to the people, and allows them to farm, and pays a certain tax in the coming year, which is not in the ordinary tax.

It seems that this decree seems to increase the burden on the people, but in fact, for those people who do not have any tools, physical strength is of no value, this decree, there are countless people who come to the Yanzhou government to draw and rent farm tools, so that Li Ru has to order to step up the manufacture of farm tools.

In addition, when Jiang Zhe went out of the city to inspect, he saw that the people of Yanzhou were all cultivating the fields by manpower, so he bought 500 head of cattle at a high price, and also rented them to the people, but the price of the lease was much higher than that of ordinary farm tools, and few people cared about it.

This couldn't help but make Jiang Zhe a little helpless.

Jiang Zhe recalled the knowledge learned by his descendants, and changed the commercial tax, discarding the previous decree of taking the tax according to the capitation, changing it to a transaction tax, and taking an unmanned mansion in Xuchang City to transform it into a chamber of commerce, so that the transactions of large quantities of transactions in Xuchang were traded here, and a certain amount of taxes were collected if the transaction was successful.

In addition, if you are a businessman who is not trading here, you will be on Jiang Zhe's small book, hum! You're in big trouble in the future!

However, in any case, in addition to the various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Xuchang in the past and a series of customs taxes, the current transaction tax is really too small.

In this regard, Li Ru was also a little skeptical, and said to Jiang Zhe suspiciously, "Sir, if you remove all kinds of taxes and only take this transaction tax, what will ...... I'm afraid that Xuchang's taxes will be much worse than before! ”

Jiang Zhe thought for a while and said, "Xianzhang, you have to take a long-term view!" You see, Xuchang is also a big city, and it is not without special products, why is the business not so developed? ”

It's already possible...... Li Ru glanced at Jiang Zhe and thought to himself that it was better not to say this sentence.

"If you change the way you collect taxes, do you think there will be more businessmen coming here than in the past?"

"Huh?" Li Ru thought about it in surprise, thinking that it seemed to be the case, but he still had some doubts in his heart, "If there are more businessmen, can they subsidize Xuchang's taxes?" ”

"Of course!" Jiang Zhe said confidently, "In the future, I am going to remove the tax at the city gate!" Jiang Zhe was referring to the poll tax that needed to be paid by the guards at the city gate when entering Xuchang, which was now practiced by every prince of the Han Dynasty.

"Huh?" At this time, even Li Ru was almost taken aback by Jiang Zhe, and said in a lost voice, "This is an extremely important place in taxation!" If it is abolished, where will Xuchang get money and grain to expand the army, and where will money and grain come to rectify Xuchang? Right now, it costs a lot of money just to spend so much on farm tools......"

"Don't panic, don't panic." Jiang Zhe is not in a hurry at all, anyway, when he was idle and bored in the later life, he read a lot of articles about taxation on the Internet, and now he will learn and use it.

"No, no, no!" Regarding the city gate tax, Li Ru is not relieved at all, but he is not for himself, but for Jiang Zhe's good, you said that Cao Ying just handed over the big and small things in Yanzhou to Jiang Zhe on the front foot, and Jiang Zhe abolished the most critical city gate poll tax on the back foot, which is still necessary?

It's okay to change some small government decrees, this city gate tax is very important, don't look at those few words, how many people enter and leave Xuchang in one day alone? And how much is that tax?

Seeing that Li Ru's attitude was very resolute, Jiang Zhe was also a little suspicious, could it be that the knowledge of later generations was not suitable for use here?

So Jiang Zhe had no choice but to keep the gate tax, and only removed the pass tax to see the situation, but considering the soldiers guarding the border, Jiang Zhe issued another decree, that is, in view of the fact that the territory of Yanzhou is not so calm, there are still a few small groups of horse thieves and robbers who live in the mountains and rob passing merchants, and authorize the border guards to send some soldiers to escort the passing merchants as appropriate, of course, this is charged!

This decree made Li Ru's eyes light up, and he looked at Jiang Zhe for a long time, this usually confused gentleman is not ignorant of internal affairs!

This is equivalent to the later dart master, but this money border guard will not need to be handed over, used to improve the living conditions of the border soldiers, which made a lot of border soldiers full of good feelings towards Jiang Zhe in Yanzhou.

Those businessmen who were originally in Xuchang were apprehensive when they saw Xuchang's tax changes at first, but after thinking about it, they suddenly smiled again.

The original tax, regardless of whether you trade in Xuchang or not, as long as you bring goods into Xuchang, you have to pay taxes, and taxes are collected according to the price of your goods, which is a common way to collect taxes in the city today.

But now, although the poll tax on the person who entered the city gate is still there, and it doesn't matter that the price it sets for merchants is dozens of times that of ordinary people, but after entering Xuchang, if there is no transaction, then there is no need to pay taxes, and only when the transaction is successful will a certain tax be collected.

This is simply the gospel of businessmen, in just half a month, those merchants informed their relatives and friends through their own channels, and then more and more people knew about it.

Merchants from the Kanto region rushed to Xuchang, and for a time Xuchang almost became the commercial center of the Kanto region, and any goods could be bought here.

The arrival of a large number of businessmen greatly stimulated the commerce and consumption of Xuchang, and some businessmen with outstanding vision came to Yanzhou government and wanted to set up shops in Xuchang.

Jiang Zhe thought about it, so he set aside a piece of land in the west of the city, and sold those lands one by one according to the vision of later generations, and sold them to those merchants, and set a five-year term of land.

This move couldn't help but make Li Ru look sideways, looking at those sky-high land, Li Ru could only shake his head, but just as he was about to admonish Jiang Zhe, he found that a large group of businessmen were rushing to order.

However, for that price, the attitude of the businessmen is to pay a two-year deposit in advance, how can Jiang Zhe agree? Five years in one bite.

The two sides were at loggerheads, but as more and more businessmen scrambled to feel it, the merchants who were already in Xuchang suddenly came under pressure, and put forward the condition of paying for three years in advance, and selling a certain amount of Xuchang rice and grain at a price half a layer lower than the market price every year.

Food was always the bulk of the Three Kingdoms period, and Jiang Zhe was also a little hesitant about this. When Jiang Zhe was negotiating with those businessmen, Li Ru gave Jiang Zhe a strong look on the side, okay, just accept it when you see it! You originally planned to leave that piece of land empty, and it would be nice to be able to sell it now!

Glaring at Li Ru, Jiang Zhe pretended to be very helpless and agreed to the request of those merchants, but added two sentences:

First, in the case of the same price, the merchant gave priority to selling grain to Xuchang!

Second, Xuchang reserves the right of final interpretation of this!

The businessmen can still understand the first sentence, but they will never understand the second sentence? What is the right of final interpretation?

Li Ru asked Jiang Zhe curiously, but Jiang Zhe's answer almost made him half angry.

"Final interpretation? In fact, it is easy to understand, that is, everything is subject to what we say! ”

Li Ru was speechless for a moment, and threw himself to the ground in admiration.

As a result, a large piece of vacant land that Jiang Zhe originally planned to vacate or build houses for the people to live in suddenly became a commercial street similar to that of later generations, and those shops that were filled with various commodities made Xuchang's original shops lose their color.

Many families came to Jiang Zhe under the banner and asked Jiang Zhe to sell a few pieces of land with them in the west of the city.

Originally, Jiang Zhe didn't want to see them, and he didn't want Qiao Xuanhu to come with a face, and faintly mentioned the matter of the last food.

Jiang Zhe thought again, if the shops in Xuchang were combined together, it would be possible to rectify the market in Xuchang, so he agreed with a smile, but Jiang Zhe also made a request, that is, you want the land in the west of the city, you can, but you will not be disadvantaged if you exchange the original shop land, how big it was originally, how big it is now!

This suddenly made those Xuchang families a little inexplicable, and after thinking about it carefully, they still couldn't think of the mystery, and even Qiao Xuan was puzzled.

Afterwards, Li Ru asked Jiang Zhe suspiciously, why those families gave up the original land in exchange for the land in the west of the city.

Jiang Zhe said, "If you want to do it, you will become bigger!" Also, don't you think it's great that all the commerce is in the west of the city, and the people live in the east of the city? ”

"That's it?" Li Ru looked at Jiang Zhe stupidly.

"Isn't that orderly?" Jiang Zhe blushed and argued with Li Ru.

I thought you moved all the shops to the west of the city to stabilize the market price of Xuchang...... Li Ru has a black line.

Who knew that Jiang Zhe later said with a smile, "In the morning, because of the grain, those families almost put us together, and now there are so many merchants in Xuchang, and they are all in the west of the city, I see how they control the price of grain!" ”

Li Ru glanced at Jiang Zhe in surprise, and said in his heart, it turns out that he is not confused......

If you want to do it, make it big! Jiang Zhezhen did exactly what he did according to this program, and gradually moved all the shops in the east of the city to the west of the city, and the east of the city was only used as a place to live, and in the west of the city, three main streets were expanded, and Jiang Zhe waved his pen to Xuchang Chengxi 1st Street, Chengxi 2nd Street, and Chengxi 3rd Street.

The first street is mainly a series of armaments such as grain and ore; The second street is mainly some ordinary shops, such as cloth shops, pharmacies and other things that people need for daily life; The third street is terrible, more and more merchants come here, the original traders will not be able to bear such a large flow of money, Jiang Zhe is ruthless, and a separate street is divided for those merchants, so the role of the third street is to buy and sell a large number of items, and sometimes there will be war horses and iron ore.

As the time passed, those families gradually discovered that Jiang Zhe was obviously uneasy and kind to get them together with those merchants at the beginning, but now the flow of goods in Xuchang is getting bigger and bigger, and the market price is no longer up to them.

But at this time, they can only grit their teeth and swallow the bitter fruit, after all, there are so many merchants in Xuchang now, what is the use of just raising the price of the family? Do you want to let all the money be made by the merchants from other places?

Qiao Xuan also heard about this, originally he wanted to use this incident to let Jiang Zhe have a good relationship with the family, but he didn't expect to be used by Jiang Zhe, so the old man hurriedly reasoned with Jiang Zhe.
