This time, I was fortunate to be invited by Wang Xuan to develop more than 40 families in Xiaoliuqiu, which has a history of more than 100 years, and most of them have a history of 200 years, but over the years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth, but the land is still limited, and the family is less than 30,000 mu at most.

It seems that the price of land per mu is only about five taels of silver, but the scattered ten or twenty acres are easy to say, and they can be bought, but it is impossible to have more.

This is also the reason why these families were excited when they found out that they could develop so much land in Xiaoliuqiu, even if it took ten years, it was far more than the previous family's efforts of 100 or even 200 years.

If the family has developed so much in their own hands, then even if they see their ancestors and ancestors after their death, they can proudly say a word and live up to the trust of their ancestors!

It is with the support of this belief that these old men, who have never suffered before, were able to endure this month's long journey and wandering journey, until they returned to Fuzhou Mansion at this moment, and they really felt physically tired.

No way, it's a bit too old.

Wang Xuan, who originally wanted to hold a meeting for everyone, also gave up this idea, he was afraid that someone would die halfway through the venue.

It was agreed that everyone would rest for three days, and then they separated on the dock, and the carriages pulled the heads of each family and slowly disappeared.

Wang Xuan shook his head and smiled, not to mention anything else, at least, this new city can sell dozens of big houses, after these people join the Xiaoliuqiu development plan, they will inevitably be resident in Fuzhou City in recent years, and they will inevitably buy a house in Fuzhou City in Fuzhou City!

This time, tens of millions of taels of silver will be in hand again.

In other words, don't look at the investment in building a city, but the income is really amazing!

After returning to his mansion, Wang Xuan did not rest directly, but also arranged the rest of the things, basically setting three ports and three inland ports to start construction.

Basically, the six places will be developed at the same time, of course, the three ports are based on the development of inland cities, which are relatively smaller, and the main energy will still be spent on inland cities.

Of course, at present, the top priority is definitely the port, when Xiaoliuqiu is not able to produce cement locally, the construction there still needs to be supplied from Fuzhou.

Fortunately, the basic firing of red bricks is still possible, and a lot of material problems can be solved here.

After arranging the delivery of raw materials and workers to Xiaoliuqiu, Wang Xuan could be regarded as resting.

Three days later, Lin Feng Academy.

It was still the hall on the third floor, and the heads of the families who had rested for three days were much more energetic, and after breakfast, they all arrived at the venue before eight o'clock, and before Wang Xuan came, they gathered in a pile and began to chat.

Of course, it is said that it is small talk, but in fact it is still discussing the matter of Xiaoliuqiu, after all, no matter how much land there is, it can be developed, and who wants to take more and occupy it.

It's just that now everyone is talking about the tone, after all, what kind of plan is the specific plan, and it still needs Wang Xuan and Lord Wang to nod.

At eight o'clock, Wang Xuan arrived on time, and the venue was quiet for a moment, and then all kinds of greetings came to his face.

Wang Xuan smiled and waved his hand to everyone, then walked to the front desk, raised his hand and pressed it, letting everyone calm down, "In a month, I took everyone to inspect the field and saw the situation in Xiaoliuqiu with my own eyes. ”

A group of people laughed and said no.

"In that case, I'll talk about something else."

Wang Xuan's sudden change of topic made everyone stunned, what does this mean?

Looking at Wang Xuan, whose face suddenly became serious, everyone's hearts sank, and they all put away their relaxed expressions just now.

"Let's talk about the problem of Fujian Province first." Wang Xuan looked around with a solemn expression, "The first and most fundamental problem is the tax issue. ”

Taxation?

This is a matter of the government, why did Wang Xuan still mention this matter? Everyone looked at each other for a while, but no one dared to ask, and continued to listen.

"Everyone knows what the current tax situation is, so I won't say more, but in the future, we will pay as much tax as we should pay, whether it is commercial tax or agricultural tax, or in the mine, all people, a copper plate is not allowed to be less."

As soon as Wang Xuan's voice fell, the venue would immediately remember the buzzing discussion, after all, all of the people present here are the top families in Fujian, and there are many industries in each family, but there are few who really pay taxes.

The population of the hidden fields, the conversion of large and small acres, the tax exemption of talents and people, the methods are varied, and since ancient times, tax evasion and tax evasion have been a kind of custom.

This is only the agricultural tax, on top of the commercial tax, each family has leaked more, almost never paid, after all, the collection of commercial tax needs to consume more manpower and material resources, and the monitoring is more difficult.

has been evading taxes like this for hundreds of years, and now Wang Xuan wants everyone to pay taxes in a word, no wonder everyone present is in an uproar, even if they are entangled with Wang Xuan's interests, these people who rely on Wang Xuan to eat will inevitably quarrel.

This is cutting meat on everyone's body, and it is not a little bit, which naturally makes everyone feel very uncomfortable, even if Wang Xuan is fierce and powerful, it is inevitable that he can't suppress it.

You must know that in the entire Ming Dynasty, 75% of the tax came from the agricultural tax, 10% from the salt tax, 5% from other mining taxes, 5% from Huangzhuang and the like, and the remaining 5% from the commercial tax.

If they really paid according to the rules, the big families of more than 40 people present would have suffered a big loss, and their annual income would have dropped by almost half.

After all, taxes were levied according to production, and these large families had to rent the land to the tenants, who only received a portion of what they paid.

Before, he could still give part of the tax showdown to the tenants, but if it was Wang Xuan who presided over the tax collection, then this kind of messy trick would not be played at all, after all, if he still scraped money from the tenants, then Wang Xuan would not tell everyone about it so solemnly at this time.

Seeing that the people below were talking endlessly, Wang Xuan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not speak, and gradually, there were fewer and fewer voices in the venue, after all, it was useless for them to talk more, it still depended on what Master Wang meant.

The large land of Xiaoliuqiu still hangs their appetite, after all, compared with the land in the hands of the current families, the interests on the island are greater, if there is no opportunity, given these families a few hundred years, they may not be able to expand the land in their hands more than 100,000 acres.

Therefore, no matter how angry and angry you are now, you have to suppress it, and you must talk to Wang Xuan and discuss it.

This is the reason why Wang Xuan is proposing it now, damn, after eating Lao Tzu's fragrant bait, he still wants to run, but there is no door!

The head of the Chang family stood up, he actually didn't want to come out, but he once used the power of the seven major families to be regarded as one of the highest-ranking people in this group, Wang Xuan didn't pursue their previous affairs, he was a little floating, and he was more outstanding some time ago, and now it is impossible to think of it.

Looking at Wang Xuan, the corners of the Chang family master's mouth twitched a few times, and then he asked hard: "Mr. Wuzhou, this tax is a matter of the government, this, this ......"

He wanted to say that he had a fart relationship with you, but seeing Wang Xuan's expressionless face and cold eyes, the sweat on his head dripped down.

The more he spoke, the quieter the voice of the head of the Chang family became, and in the end, he simply lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wang Xuan's eyes, and it was also thanks to Wang Xuan's profound internal skills, otherwise, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear what he said from such a distance, "This, Mr. Wuzhou, this, why do you want to stand up for the government......"

"Be louder!" Wang Xuan's sudden voice was so frightened that the head of the Chang family sat down, fortunately there was a chair behind him, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

The cold gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the audience, and Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Look at the appearance of you one by one, what, do you think that my Wang is going to covet your three melons and two dates!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"No, definitely not!"

was swept by Wang Xuan's gaze, and a group of people immediately shook their heads.

"Hmph, I don't think you dare to do anything." Wang Xuan stood up from his seat, and the momentum of being high above and controlling life and death suddenly burst out, looking at everyone condescendingly, like an elephant looking at an ant.

"Just the last time I confiscated the Seven Great Families, I confiscated more than 25 million taels of property and 1.2 million acres of land, that's all, you don't have to lose much of the net worth of all these people here."

"However, these two and five million can't catch up with the value of my own property, so will I, Wang Xuan, care about your money?"

"You think so much of yourself!"

Don't look down on me......

It's really good that you look down on me......

Ma Dan, the grass on the grave is more than three feet tall now, right......

Wang Xuan's words are not bragging, how much is a new city worth alone, not to mention two steel plants with an output equivalent to the iron output of the entire Daming Dynasty, and it also involves deep processing.

In addition, shipyards, cement factories, textile factories and other industries are worth 25 million, which is not counting the 30,000 troops under control, which can no longer be measured in the traditional sense.

Of course, these are all fixed assets, not cash, but if any head of the family is chosen, they would rather choose fixed assets instead of cash, because these people understand that it is useless to have money alone.

Wang Xuan's words were extremely unkind, it can be said that these families have not been pointed at by others for so many years, but this time, everyone's hearts are all relieved, and they are faintly happy in their hearts.

This can only be said that they are all cheap.

Regardless of whether they are cheap or not, these people are more concerned about why Wang Xuan suddenly had such an idea, and it seems that they have been prepared for a long time, these guys can be the head of the family, and they are not the ones who are better than monkeys.
