Chapter 297 Greed and stupidity are twins, when there is greed, you will be stupid, and stupidity is because of greed
Peeling off Yervina's coat, the cloak of what she said, the inside was very much in line with the code of conduct of the nobles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The rebuilding of Xiliu City is a hugely profitable undertaking, and every brick, every piece of wood, and every man represents a huge amount of gains. Wren suddenly woke up, and this was definitely a good thing. The Labour Party is about to be founded, and the brains of those in Andorra can indeed be a gift to the Labour Party and soothe the extremities of the working class, but this is far from being a job. The entire empire was faced with a very complex working environment.
Those who have the ability are fed to death, and those who are not capable can only beg, and the polarization is extremely serious. In a society where education is far from universal, learning a trade means having enough to eat in the future. But many more people don't have the opportunity to learn a craft, and life naturally becomes a burden. The sporadic work of these people makes them a factor of social instability, and the unemployed vagrants are often spawned as extremists in such a barbaric society.
Now, Wren can offer jobless and workers in Bell Province for several years to stabilize their lives and show them the power of the Labour Party.
After figuring out this joint, Wren was very concerned about the exchange of interests proposed by Yelvina, and he nodded with a smile, "The reconstruction of Xiliu City will be the top priority in the government affairs of Bell Province, I will write a personal letter to Governor Joberg, and I will take the initiative to prioritize your needs in terms of policies and materials." Do you and your family have any complete plans?"
Yelvina somewhere pulled out a written plan and unfolded it, naturally stood up and sat down beside Wren. The distance between the two was very close, and Wren even smelled the faint fragrance of Yelvina's body, which was like countless silk threads, winding him up one by one.
The leather coat worn by the woman was tight, and her plump breasts became more visually striking, and the bright red color seemed to raise the temperature of the room. She stretched out her slender fingers to brush her hair to the other side, revealing a white neck and faintly visible collarbones under the leather coat. The curved curve of the delicate earlobes is particularly attractive, and a strand of golden sideburns also gives people a sweet impulse. She leaned half of her body on Wren, spreading the plan out on Wren's lap.
Even through the clothes, Wren could feel the surprising softness of this woman's body, and he raised the arm between the two of them and pressed it on Yelvina's shoulder.
"Look here......", she stretched out a white finger and pointed it in the plan that was spread flat on Wren's leg, her pink lips with a layer of water and bright fluorescence opened slightly, "Look here." ”
Wren's heart jumped, and the woman pointed at his vital point through the plan, he raised his eyebrows, forced a wisp of impulse in his heart, and looked down. There was a shocking whiteness of snow, followed by a sketch of the city, "We plan to spend 150,000 gold coins to build a wall about 40 kilometers long and 5 meters high. According to the reports of some of the family's advance surveyors, part of the city wall of Xiliu City can still be used after repair, so the construction of the overall city wall is not as long as expected. ”
There was no hint of any sign on Yelvina's calm face, and her fingers circled the plan, which shook with it. She pursed her lips, pointed to the middle of the city, and nodded, "We plan to push the plain first lord's palace, introduce the branch of the Xiudorn River into the city, and build a waterway in all directions, so as to avoid the disasters that the city has experienced. ”
"This costs a lot of money!", Wren said absent-mindedly, he quickly came back to his senses, and in the face of such a red fruit temptation and seduction with his quality, at least he could still maintain his heart. Once he put himself into the work, some of the personal sensory stimulation was weakened a lot, and he pondered for a moment, "The waterways require more people and workers than ordinary pavement, and they also need more stones, and according to the waterways marked on this drawing, the construction of these urban waterways and drainage systems alone will cost at least 300,000 gold coins." ”
"You're right, but we also plan to build two docks to separate passenger and cargo vessels and build a very large cargo dock and warehouse complex. This was enough to attract more merchants to transport goods by water, and diverted them in Xiliu City. In our plan, Xiliu City will become a center for the gathering and dispersion of supplies throughout the province of Bell. ”
The ambition is not small, if the goods of a province are all taken from the new Xiliu City, then it will not take long for Xiliu City to recover its previous prosperity, and even surpass its former prosperity. Xiliu City will also become the trade center of Bell Province, whether it is coming or going goods, they will also choose the convenient and well-developed Xiliu City. Yelvina's family must have spent a lot of capital and promised a lot of benefits in order to obtain this fiefdom, otherwise it would not be their turn to take this land of wealth.
Isn't it, isn't this stunner in front of you one of the "benefits" they sent to bribe Wren?
Politics has always been inextricably linked to war, wealth and sex.
"It's a little hot......", Yervina unbuttoned two more buttons, revealing a black cut-out lace-trimmed underwear, mysterious, and full of temptation, "The whole reconstruction project will need at least three million to four million gold coins, which is an extremely large number, and it is difficult for my family to come up with all of them, so I have another small request for coming here today." As she spoke, she almost snuggled up to Wren's body, and the fragrance that came out of her mouth came to her face, stirring Wren's hair.
Wren glanced at her, "What request?"
"The Privy Council has given us twenty years full tax authority to help rebuild the city of Weststream, and we need to bring in about a million gold coins to complete the entire construction. I don't know if you're interested, we can offer a stepped tax right in exchange for your support. Yervina also became serious at this time, "Seventy percent tax for the first five years, fifty percent tax for five to ten years, and twenty-five percent tax for ten to twenty years. If your share is less than 1,000,000 gold in 20 years, we will make up the 1,000,000 gold and pay you another 800,000 gold as compensation. ”
After speaking, her eyes showed uneasiness, 800,000 gold coins in 20 years, and 40,000 gold coins a year is really nothing to the nobles. But the difficulty in this matter is to come up with a large amount of money in a short period of time, the rate of return is low, but the pay is not low, and many people are unwilling to invest such capital and energy to do such a cost-effective thing. Before coming here, Yelvina and her people had contacted a number of nobles, but none of them were of much interest.
With one million gold coins as the capital and the privileges of the nobles, it is entirely possible to get about 50,000 to 100,000 yuan per year. Compared to the 20-year investment return of only 80 percent, it is indeed a very failed investment.
The reason why Yelvina finally chose to try it here was because he thought that Wren was the uncrowned king of the province of Bell, and he might have a special affection for this province, so maybe he would be willing to invest?
It may be a trivial matter for others, but for Yelvina and her family, it is a big thing that can affect the strength of the family in the next fifty years, and they can't help but not take it seriously.
Wren rudely pushed Yelvina away, stood up, and walked back and forth a few steps, his mind racing, and his brain boiled. The investment and expected returns are indeed unsatisfactory, but his vision is different from that of others. In Bell Province, the Governor is just a puppet on the surface, and Joberg has already knelt down to lick Wren, whose words are more authoritative in Bell Province than those of Empress Pars.
No one else can do anything through political interference, but Wren can, he can force the city of Xiliu to be reborn in a very short period of time, and restore its former glory, so that it can surpass its former peak.
Think about it, as long as all merchants and caravans must complete the handover in Xiliu City, and collect heavy taxes on the border of the Western Front, whether it is merchants or ordinary people, they will choose the "special zone" of Xiliu City. Once the power of the Special Zone is revealed, the vision described by Yelvina will be enough to realize it immediately! The annual trade volume of the entire province of Bell is about five million gold coins, and according to the trade tax of the empire, there will be one million gold coins per year.
Of course, this is an idealized calculation, in fact, the commercial tax is about one out of ten, but this is also four or five hundred thousand gold coins a year.......
Yelvina was half-leaning back on the couch at this time, still looking aggrieved when she was pushed away by Wren, her heart beating heavy and fast, so suppressed that she almost couldn't breathe.
When Wren's footsteps paused and listened, she was almost unable to support her body, and at this moment her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She was covered with delicate beads of sweat, and her palms were also secreted with a layer of oily sweat, and she looked at Wren nervously, waiting for the final judgment.
"Fifty percent every year, not for twenty years. This is Wren's condition, the income in the first two years must be nothing, but after two years, the annual tax right of fifty percent can at least bring him close to 200,000 gold coins, and in twenty years, it is close to four million earnings, and he has no reason not to do this transaction.
Looking at Yervina's fleeting hesitation and firm nod, Wren breathed a sigh of relief, he walked up to Yelvina, and looked down at this stunner condescendingly, Chi Guoguo's gaze was extremely aggressive, and he unzipped his pants, "Hold it!"
