Chapter 422 Guangzhou Arrangement
After Xian Enzhuo left, Wei Feng asked again: "Justice, how are you and Wang Taishou preparing for the establishment of the City Division?" ”
"I'm about to report to the general!" Xie Gongyi said in no hurry: "According to your requirements, the general has been fully prepared, and the personnel have also been recruited in place, including rice, white cloth, diamond, iron and other strategic materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood are taxed according to one percent, and the ladder tax system is adopted, the larger the amount, the lower the tax rate, the lowest can be reduced to five points, in addition, you have specially confessed such as tortoiseshell, gems and other luxury goods, levied fifty percent of the luxury goods surtax, of which the tax rate of glass products has doubled, you see, the preliminary plan has been listed in detail. As he spoke, he took out a copy of the book and handed it over.
The so-called tax is to pay taxes on the shore, regardless of whether it is sold or not, and all are levied in gold, silver, copper and other metal currencies, in which the determination of the benchmark price of commodities is calculated according to the parity price of such items on the market in Panyu with a seven-fold discount, for example, a glass bead ten Roman gold coins, a seven-fold discount is seven gold coins, and the additional tax on luxury goods is levied at double the tax amount, and the tax amount is seven gold coins.
Of course, if the tax rate is high, you can not transport the goods ashore, but if there is smuggling, if you can't get the tax payment certificate during the inspection, then I'm sorry, in addition to confiscating all of them, you have to impose a fine of five to ten times the total value of the goods, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can do hard labor, when to take the money to redeem, when to release people, you can't get the money, you can only be a coolie for a lifetime!
Wei Feng did not know how the city was taxed in the Tang and Song dynasties, and he levied it according to the tariffs of modern society.
Wei Feng looked very carefully, and after a long time, he nodded with satisfaction: "Come on, invite Wang Taishou here!" ”
"Yes!" The two guards were ordered to leave.
Wei Feng, Xie Gongyi and Deng Yi sat down one after another. Chatting while tasting it.
Wei Feng asked, "Justice, please forgive me for asking a personal question, how much tea did your Xie family sell to the Romans last year?" At what price is it sold? ”
Xie Gongyi immediately showed a strange look, and couldn't help but smile: "I sold five thousand stones, and each stone was one hundred Roman gold coins." ”
"Oh?" Wei Feng and Deng Yi were all moved, this is the price of selling the leaves for silk, especially Wei Feng is clear, don't look at the tea produced on some rare and ancient trees in modern society can be sold for one or two hundreds of thousands, but at this time, there is no fine variety and grade classification of tea. Even the picking is not exquisite. The large leaves and small leaves are picked together with the top buds, and the root cause is caused by the way of drinking, and the seasoning for cooking is put into the tea. And how can you taste the difference in taste between different parts of the tea tree? Tea is nothing more than an ordinary drink that Jiangdong Shishu is accustomed to. It has nothing to do with taste and culture yet. The price of tea is actually very cheap, although Wei Feng does not know the price of Gu Xiu, but one stone of tea will never exceed five Roman gold coins!
Seeing the stunned looks of the two. Xie Gongyi smiled slightly: "Don't say that the general and General Deng were surprised, even the righteousness at that time, and the uncle and couple who got the news later, were also shocked, speaking of which, this is all the credit of the steward, his initial offer was one hundred and fifty gold coins per stone, and the price of the old ghost Antonio was cut for half an hour, and only one hundred gold coins were killed little by little, and the funny thing is that Antonio still wanted to take out the glass beads to cheat the tea, of course, he was rejected without hesitation!" ”
Wei Feng can imagine the situation when Antonio took out the glass beads and braged about how they were worth money, and he couldn't help but be angry and funny.
"Damn, this old ghost will not change, wait for the next time, Lao Tzu will give you a lifetime of endless gifts!" Wei Feng cursed secretly, and said with a smile: "By the way, justice, now we have enough gold and silver, and there is a gold mountain being mined, which is enough to issue gold and silver coins, if it is issued within half a year, do you think there is a problem?" ”
Xie Gongyi muttered: "During the Taikang period of Emperor Wu, a pound of gold was exchanged for 100,000 baht coins, and the Roman gold coins circulating in Panyu were calculated to have an actual purchasing power roughly equivalent to them, so it can be temporarily used as a benchmark to mint 100 gold coins for a pound of gold, and each gold coin was exchanged for 1,000 baht coins, of which the agreed price ratio of gold and silver was 1 to 5, that is, a silver coin could be exchanged for 25 baht coins.
Righteousness found some full value of five baht coins, weighing the weight of thirteen catties, obviously not convenient to carry a large number of people, so the promotion of gold and silver coins, will be able to effectively promote the circulation of commerce, since the general gold and silver are sufficient, the issuance is not a problem, as long as the full value is not fake, it is nothing more than mold and casting takes some time, but it will not be more than half a year.
However, justice has a proposal, although the face value of the five-baht coin is small and the weight is large, it is indispensable, and the general has successfully melted the molten steel, and it is expected that the amount of copper used in the army will be greatly reduced, so justice means that the five-baht coin is also opened at the same time, I don't know what the general wants? ”
Wei Feng said without thinking: "I have to go to Murong Xi next month to ask for the return of the principal and interest, you can do this thing!" ”
Xie Gongyi showed a bitter smile, nodded slightly, since he came to Panyu, on the surface, Wei Feng fought in the south and the north, and did not leave home all day long, as if he was busy, but Xie Gongyi knew that he was bitter, and he was no worse than Wei Feng when it came to hard work, and it was very annoying to manage political affairs.
In fact, Xie Gongyi also understands that Wei Feng has no talents, at least in government affairs, after all, he lacks the heavy background of Huan Xuan and the Beifu Army, and he can't be in a hurry in a short time, so he can't help but secretly turn his mind, can he recommend some talents to Wei Feng?
But what makes him helpless is that most of the children of the Shi clan are cockfighting lackeys, these people are good at eating, drinking, and having fun, but they can't do things, and the people he knows are basically this type, not to mention whether the recommendation to Wei Feng will be rejected, he doesn't have the face to recommend it, not to mention, maybe people don't look down on Wei Feng at all!
As for Xie Shi's Xie Chong's line, he won't even mention it, although Xie Hui's talent is no less than his Xie Gongyi, no way, Xie Gongyi is not a saint, he is friendly with Xie Cong and Xie Daoyun, and he always has selfishness.
Xie Gongyi shook his head secretly, Wei Feng seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Your manager is also a talent, otherwise, I want him to come to Panyu to serve in the city, what do you think?" ”
"Oh?" Xie Gongyi arched his hand: "Gongyi took him to thank him first, and immediately passed him over when he turned around." ”
Wei Feng and Xie Gongyi didn't ask the steward's opinion, in fact, there was no need to ask, no matter how good the steward was, he was also a slave, and entering the city was equivalent to becoming an official, from a slave to an official, and no longer had to look up to people, it was simply a thousand wills!
While speaking, Wang Dan hurriedly came to the main hall, and after the salute, Wei Feng said bluntly: "Wang Taishou, since the city has been prepared, the sooner you open your teeth, the better, I want to ask you to move to the first city of Guangzhou, what do you think?" ”
Wang Dan was suddenly slightly shocked, although Xie Gongyi had made a lot of efforts, he knew that Xie Gongyi could not stay in Panyu for a long time, so he had already made sufficient preparations for himself to serve as the envoy of the city, but at this time, he still couldn't help but feel excited!
Since Wei Feng's state assassin history is only a fourth-grade official, the city envoy is temporarily at the same level as the county Taishou, the same as the fifth grade, and it is only a subordinate function of the Jiaoguang Metropolitan Governor's Office, but the rapid expansion of Wei Feng's strength makes the importance of the city envoy also rise, and even one day, Wei Feng can replace Huan Xuan, and he doesn't dare to think about the future future!
This is nothing impossible, Wei Feng has the strength that is not inferior to the Beifu army, and he has the support of Wang Xie and other Gaomen clans!
In Wang Dan's eyes, the future of the Guangzhou envoy was far from being comparable to the immortal South China Sea Taishou he served, so he bowed deeply and thanked him: "Since he is trusted by the envoy, his subordinates should swear to the death!" ”
Wei Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Prince, please hurry up, ten days later, the city department will officially open the teeth, and the seal will be sent to you before." ”
Wang Dan thanked him and got up, and accepted Xie Gongyi and Deng Yi's congratulations, Wei Feng asked Deng Yi at this time: "The prince moved to the city and made the Nanhai Taishou vacant, and the general wanted to ask General Deng to temporarily replace the Nanhai Taishou, how about it?" ”
Deng Yi was stunned, he thought that Wei Feng wanted him to come to Guangzhou from Jiaozhou to follow the battle, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing, but in an instant, he understood that Wei Feng's goal was mostly to let himself take over the history of Guangzhou Assassin, you must know that Wei Feng's crusade against Huan Xuan was only a matter of morning and evening, once he successfully entered the center, it would be impossible to concurrently have a history of Guangzhou Thorns, and it would be a history of Jing, Jiang Erzhou, and even Yangzhou Thorns!
Deng Yi immediately showed gratitude, and said, "The last general will obey the general's arrangement!" ”
Wei Feng stood up and arched his hand: "Tonight, there will be a banquet in Yuzhou Ya to congratulate the two of you, and now I will go back to the house first and say goodbye." ”
"Please go slowly, General!" In the farewell of the three of them, Wei Feng strode away.
According to the news that came, Liu Jiao, Xie Wenchan, and Xian Enzhuo each gave birth to a girl, and Xiaolan also gave birth to a girl, she already had two daughters, and Xian Enqian and Wang Man gave birth to boys, and there were six people in the family at once, and Wei Feng's eagerness to go home couldn't be controlled at all!
With just a pillar of incense, Wei Feng returned home, hugged the children one by one, and named them separately, only then did he say that he would crusade against Yan Guo next month, and the women were naturally worried and disappointed, so that Wei Feng repeatedly promised to prevaricate in the past, but the happiest was Liu Xingnan, because he could go out again!
After sighing helplessly, Wang Man mysteriously pulled Wei Feng aside, and asked in a low voice, "Wei Lang, do you still want to take Julia with you when you go to Yan Kingdom?" ”
"Huh?" Wei Feng was stunned for a moment and explained: "Julia has a deep knowledge in dock site selection and shipbuilding, this time I not only ask Murong Xi for repayment of principal and interest, but also want to find a remote coast in the north to build a dock, so I want Julia to help take a look." ”
"Oh!" Wang Man nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation on her pretty face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you interested in Julia?" (To be continued......)
